Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

Li Pan didn't rush back to the courtyard house; she waited a few days before returning.

When she arrived at the courtyard, she called Li Dagen and Zhou Sujuan into the house and handed them a savings book.

"This is the money you gave us before. Brother Zhu gave us a share of the profits."

I've exchanged all yours for cash.

The Li family knew when He Yuzhu invested money.

The Li family gave all their money to Yu Li to open a restaurant. Li Dagen and his wife didn't have much money left.

However, the couple gritted their teeth and secretly gave some money to Li Pan.

Li Pan took the money and gave it to He Yuzhu.

Zhou Sujuan took the passbook and was immediately startled by the amount on it.

She instinctively closed the passbook: "How come there's so much?"
"Could the calculation be wrong?"

Li Pan whispered, "It won't be bad. I can't tell you the specifics."

All you need to know is that Brother Zhu made a lot of money this time.

You two keep this money, but don't tell my brother and sister-in-law.

My sister-in-law is just obsessed with money.

If she finds out, she'll definitely worry about it.

Zhou Sujuan said, "You brat, how can you talk to your sister-in-law like that?"

Your sister-in-law is actually quite good.

What happened back then is in the past, don't hold such a grudge against her.

Li Pan didn't take it seriously.

You should know that Yu Li's idea almost ruined her life back then.

If she had compromised back then...

Let alone our current happy life, we might not even be able to keep our jobs.

The guy Yu Haitang introduced to her back then was attacked and had his leg broken a couple of years ago.

Now I can only make a living by repairing bicycles for others.

"I didn't say she was bad, I just wanted you to be careful."

She worked so hard, calculating and scheming, but how much money did she actually earn?

You two didn't do anything, just sat at home, and you made so much money.

She can accept it.

Zhou Sujuan had no rebuttal.

Yu Li's daughter-in-law is good in every way, except for her personality.

Stingy yet ambitious.

Ever since I had a problem with He Yuzhu, I haven't had any contact with the He family.

If they could put aside the misunderstanding from back then, given the relationship between the Li family and the He family, who knows how many benefits they could gain.

Look at Miao Jianye, he was with He Yuzhu the latest.

But because he has been following He Yuzhu, he has now made a lot of money.

Li Dagen's face also showed helplessness: "Just listen to Panpan and don't let her know."

I heard from Zhenjiang that her younger sister seems to be opening another restaurant.

Let her know whether you're going to give her the money or not.

Yu Haitang is also a very competitive person.

Over the years, he has been constantly trying to make money.

In order to make money, Yu Haitang did a lot of business.

The result is that the more you try, the less money you make.

Li Pan said, "Anyway, the money is given to you. How you use it is none of my business."

If you're willing to give it to my brother, that's your business.

I gave all my savings to Brother Zhu, and I also made a lot of money from it.

I don't need money. And I won't take your money.

Zhou Sujuan said, "This is getting more and more absurd."

Seeing that it was almost time, Li Pan was about to leave: "I took leave to come here, and I have to go to work this afternoon."

I'm leaving now.

Zhou Sujuan couldn't keep her there, so she brought her some things.

Li Pan finally asked for some homemade pickled vegetables, and nothing else.

She's too busy with work to pickle vegetables right now.

As soon as he stepped out the door, Yan Bugui blocked his way.

"Panpan is back."

Li Pan reluctantly stopped and dealt with Yan Bugui.

"Uncle Yan, you didn't go to work?" Yan Bugui replied, "The weather has been bad these past two days, and both you and I caught a cold, so we couldn't go."

Li Pan said, "It's good that you don't go. You're all so old, you don't need to work so hard."

I heard that your children have all come back to take care of you.

Yan Bugui looked somewhat smug.

The children often came over, which helped him save face.

"What's the point of being filial? Coming here only once every ten days or so is worse than not coming at all."

Li Pan gave him a few perfunctory replies, then made an excuse about having to go to work and left the courtyard.

Yan Bugui made a special trip to inquire about the news, but he found out nothing and was unwilling to give up.

He then went to the Li family's house to chat with Li Dagen.

"Old Li, your Panpan is so filial. She just came back last week and is here again today."

What did she buy?

Li Dagen had something on his mind and didn't want to talk to Yan Bugui.

He was too embarrassed to kick them out, so he could only ask Zhou Sujuan to bring out some bananas.

"I didn't buy much, just some fruit. Panpan was worried we wouldn't be able to afford it, so she bought it especially for us."

Yan Bugui was pleased to see that Li Dagen was so sensible. He picked up a banana and started eating it.

"Life is so much better now. Even in the dead of winter, we can still eat bananas."

Back in the day, we couldn't even get apples in winter.

In our compound, only Sha Zhu has the ability to get apples.

Li Dagen said, "This is all ancient history, let's not talk about it."

Old Yan, not to be rude, but you're getting on in years. You shouldn't open that fried chicken shop anymore.

"You do the math yourself, see how much money you can make opening a fried chicken shop."

Yan Bugui's mind was captivated by this question, and in the end, he left the Li family with three bananas in his hand.

Zhou Sujuan shook her head: "This old Yan, he's so old, but he still hasn't changed his temper."

His children came to visit him; if he were smart, he should have taken the opportunity to mend his relationship with them.

Li Dagen said, "If he could do as you say, he wouldn't be Lao Yan."

You should just leave those things alone.

"Is the passbook properly stored?"

"It's all set up," Zhou Sujuan said. "Tell me, what kind of business does Zhuzi run? How come he makes so much money?"

Li Dagen couldn't understand it either; what kind of business could make so much money?

"You're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask? Let's just pretend this never happened."

Zhou Sujuan explained, "I know. I just feel sorry."

Because of his daughter-in-law, Zhenjiang has become estranged from Zhuzi. Otherwise, Zhenjiang would also be making money.

Do you think Da Mao and the others also made money?

Li Dagen wanted to tell everyone not to gossip, but he couldn't help but speculate.

"Da Mao probably didn't participate. He didn't contribute any money when the loan was being borrowed."

As for Tiezhu and Jianye, I'm not so sure.

The couple were guessing how much money they had made, while Yan Bugui had also calculated how much he had earned.

After calculating it this way, Yan Bugui felt he had lost out.

It's not that we didn't make money, but rather that we wasted so much time and earned too little.

"Do you think it's still necessary for us to open a fried chicken shop?"

The three women had long since given up on running a fried chicken shop.

Opening a fried chicken shop can indeed make money, but it also makes her more tired.

During the day, I'm busy working at the fried chicken shop, and when I get back, I still have to clean up.

At first, the passion for making money was still there, and the three women didn't feel tired.

After a while, she couldn't stand it anymore.

"I think we should just quit. You caught a cold because you went to the fried chicken shop, didn't you?"
The money we spend on medicine alone is enough to earn for several days.

Moreover, I can't go to the fried chicken shop these days, and I still have to pay the shop rent.

This is just a cold, what if…”

The aunt dared not say what might happen, for fear that it might come true.

Yan Bugui thought it made sense, so he got up and said, "I'll go and discuss it with Lao Yi."

Yi Zhonghai had long since given up on running the fried chicken shop.

Working at a fried chicken shop is not only tiring, but it also affects his plans for retirement.

Upon hearing Yan Bugui's words, Yi Zhonghai smiled and said, "Then I'll listen to you. I'm quitting the fried chicken shop."

The two of them reached an agreement, leaving only Qin Huairu; her objections were futile. (End of Chapter)
