Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

At the Intermediate Court, Yan Bugui found Yi Zhonghai.

"Old Yi, the Liu family's children are really outrageous."

Do you know who they bought breakfast for?

Yi Zhonghai not only knew who the breakfast was for, but also the purpose of Yan Bugui's statement.

One could argue that Yan Bugui had ill intentions, or one could argue that Yan Bugui was trying to correct the atmosphere in the courtyard.

Yi Zhonghai prefers the second option.

It's true that Yan Bugui wanted him to take the lead.

But this matter concerns his retirement, so he must take care of it.

"Old Yan, don't worry. Wait until Old Liu comes out, then I'll talk to him."

Yan Bugui, having received Yi Zhonghai's promise, sat down contentedly and chatted with Yi Zhonghai in the courtyard.

On the Liu family's side, after breakfast, Liu Haizhong told Liu Guangtian and another person to follow Xu Damao.

Xu Damao was very dissatisfied with the two men's personalities.

It's always the same. When he takes the money, they follow him around as if he's going to steal the Liu family's money.

Xu Damao didn't bother to say much more to the two of them and prepared to take them to get the money.

"Let's go. Come with me to get the money."

The three of them went out of the backyard together and saw Yi Zhonghai and Yan Bugui sitting idly in the yard.

The three of them didn't speak to the two of them and left the courtyard house directly.

Yi Zhonghai was displeased when he saw their expressions.

He certainly looked down on Xu Damao and his two companions, but that was absolutely not a reason why they didn't greet him.

"That's outrageous."

Yan Bugui was also dissatisfied, and echoed Yi Zhonghai's words, saying, "That's right."

All the young people in our compound have gone astray.

They have absolutely no respect for the elderly.

Knowing what topics Yi Zhonghai was interested in, Yan Bugui would specifically talk about them.

When the topic of respecting and caring for the elderly came up, Yi Zhonghai was indeed very interested and started talking about things from back then.

You're right.

Although everyone's living conditions have improved now, the bonds between people have weakened.

Neighbors often talk about money.

It's not as good as it was back then.

Back then, life was so hard, we didn't even have enough to eat, but I never thought of abandoning the old lady..."

The only thing Yi Zhonghai can boast about right now is taking care of a deaf old lady.

This is also the thing he is most willing to mention.

The only downside was that there were too few listeners.

Besides his old friend Yan Bugui, there was no one else.

None of the children in the orphanage were willing to listen.

As the two were talking, Liu Haizhong ran out clutching his stomach.

"Old Liu, you've come at the right time. Old Yan and I have something to discuss with you."

Liu Haizhong clearly needed to go to the restroom, so he didn't have time to chat with Yi Zhonghai.

"I am going out……"

Yi Zhonghai became angry when he heard that Liu Haizhong was unwilling.

"Old Liu, didn't you see that Old Yan and I are both here?"
"Can't you go after we've finished talking?"

Liu Haizhong wasn't afraid of him: "I'll poop my pants before you finish talking."

After saying that, he ignored Yi Zhonghai and ran outside.

A hint of embarrassment appeared on Yi Zhonghai's face.

He genuinely didn't notice that Liu Haizhong was going to test the lock.

Yan Bugui, fearing he might anger Yi Zhonghai, remained silent.

After waiting for a while, Liu Haizhong slowly walked back.

"Getting old just isn't good enough. I almost fell just now."

"What do you want from me?"

Yi Zhonghai didn't seem inclined to speak for the time being, and Yan Bugui didn't want to take the lead, so they started chatting idly.

"Absolutely. Especially in winter, the ground is so slippery. I almost slipped and fell when I went to the toilet the other day."

If this continues for another two years, we'll need someone to help us go to the toilet.

"What should we do then?"

Liu Haizhong, being rather simple-minded, simply said, "I'm not worried about that."

Two years from now, I'll have Guangtian Guangfu help me up.

The most painful hurt is the unintentional one.

Liu Haizhong's words directly stung the hearts of Yi Zhonghai and Yan Bugui.

Yi Zhonghai was wondering if Banggeng would help him to the toilet. He felt that his education of Banggeng was still insufficient.

I'll find another opportunity to have a heart-to-heart talk with Bang Geng later.

As for Yan Bugui, his eyes darted around and he started pinching his fingers.

The way he's doing this is like he's calculating accounts.

However, the calculation results were clearly not good.

According to the rules he set with his son.

He has to pay for his children's care.

Helping him to the toilet was clearly a way of taking care of him, and naturally, he had to pay for it.

Going to the toilet is something that happens almost every day.

In other words, he has to pay money every day.

It's no wonder Yan Bugui looked so pleased.

Almost simultaneously, Yan Bugui and Yi Zhonghai raised their heads and looked towards He Yuzhu's house.

If we're talking about convenient toilet facilities, He Yuzhu's house is the best among all the courtyard houses.

Soon, the two of them reluctantly looked away.

After He Yuzhu moved out, he gave the house to Ma Hua to live in.

When Ma Hua and his wife went to Shanghai, they locked the door of their house before leaving.

Aside from the fact that MCA's parents come to check on the house every week, no one lives there at other times.

Given their relationship with He Yuzhu, they definitely won't be able to get the house.

Liu Haizhong, oblivious to their thoughts, asked again, "What do you want from me?"

While asking the questions, Liu Haizhong also became more vigilant.

He remembered Liu Guangtian's words: he had to be wary of these two people and not let them affect his business.

Yi Zhonghai came to his senses and said, "It's nothing."

I just want to talk to you about the issues of Guangtian and Guangfu.

Old Yan just told me that when he went to the backyard, your two kids accused him of stealing.

This is outrageous!

Who is Lao Yan? Others may not know, but don't we know?

Anyone can steal, except Old Yan.

Yan Bugui straightened his chest, proving to himself: "They are slandering me."

Upon hearing this, Liu Haizhong lost interest.

His second aunt had just told him what happened this morning.

Liu Guangfu left the things in the yard in order to persuade Xu Damao.

Yan Bugui ran to the backyard early in the morning and even tried to take breakfast. What else could it be but theft?
Even if it wasn't stolen, once the items fell into Yan Bugui's hands, they would still be skinned alive.

In the end, it was the Liu family who suffered the most.

There weren't many things, but as the second eldest uncle, he couldn't stand being treated like this.

Yan Bugui could use this trick against others, but it wouldn't work against him.

With this preconceived notion, Liu Haizhong refused to believe what the two said.

"What slander? It's just a misunderstanding."
You're all making a mountain out of a molehill.

Both Yi Zhonghai and Yan Bugui were dissatisfied with Liu Haizhong's words.

Yi Zhonghai said with great distress, "Is this a small matter?"

This matter is very serious.

Old Yan was their elder.

They slandered Lao Yan without asking any questions, which is a serious act of filial impiety.

If they dare to slander Lao Yan today, they'll dare to slander me tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow it will be you.

Have you thought about the consequences?

"If it weren't for your own good, Lao Yan and I wouldn't have bothered with your affairs."

Yan Bugui added, "Old Yi is right, we're doing this for your own good."

You should know that the three of us uncles are one.

Disrespecting me is disrespecting the three elders.

This trend must not be allowed to continue.

Liu Hai was still wary of the two men and didn't believe what they said.

"I understand what you're saying. It's not that serious."

If you hadn't gone to the backyard to take our breakfast, this wouldn't have happened.

Is there anything else?
No, I'm going home now.

It's strangely cold today.

Seeing that Liu Haizhong didn't believe them, the two had no better options and could only watch him leave. (End of Chapter)
