Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

Originally, under Qin Huairu's hints, Tang Yanling already had some vague ideas in her mind.

After hearing Qin Huairu's last words, Tang Yanling's vague idea became clear.

Xu Damao likes beautiful women.

This thought kept lingering in her mind.

When Banggeng came home from get off work, he saw Tang Yanling looking distracted, so he walked over.

"Yanling, what's wrong?"

Tang Yanling was a little flustered when she suddenly heard Bang Geng's voice, and her attitude towards Bang Geng improved considerably.

"It's nothing. My mom just told me today that I should go to the hospital to get an IUD installed."

Upon hearing about the ring, Bang Geng's eyes lit up.

He pursued Tang Yanling for several years, but they didn't spend much time together after they got married.

Couples engage in even fewer activities together.

When Tang Yanling returned to live with them, she was pregnant again.

He could only look at Tang Yanling every day.

After giving birth and recovering, Tang Yanling was afraid of getting pregnant again.

Bang Geng had been holding back for a long time.

If Tang Yanling had an IUD, then there would be no need for those worries.

"Yanling, what are you thinking?"

Tang Yanling already had some initial ideas.

However, she still had some doubts. She couldn't figure out whether Qin Huairu had said those things to her intentionally or unintentionally.

If it was intentional, then what does that mean?
Should I test her, or encourage her?

Tang Yanling suddenly realized that the Jia family was really complicated.

"I haven't decided yet, that's why I asked you. What do you think Mom is thinking?"

Bang Geng isn't stupid either. Compared to Qin Huairu, he's naturally a bit worse, but he's much better than Sha Zhu.

If Sha Zhu wants to take advantage of Qin Huairu, he can only wait for Qin Huairu's favor and will not take the initiative.

Sticklebacks are known for their proactive approach.

"I think we should get an IUD. The government encourages couples to have only one child."

We already have a child, and if I get pregnant again, the child won't be able to be registered.

When he said this, Bang Geng's eyes were filled with anticipation.

To have children, you must first have a sexual relationship with your spouse.

If Tang Yanling doesn't deny these things, then it means she doesn't reject marital relations.

Then he'll get his benefits.

Tang Yanling's reaction was exactly what Bang Geng had expected.

“What you said makes sense. Given our family’s situation, we couldn’t afford to raise another child.”

Banggeng was both delighted and annoyed.

To his delight, Tang Yanling did not reject him, and he would soon have a bright future.

What frustrates him is that he himself is incompetent and cannot provide a good life for his family.

"Yanling, don't worry, I will definitely work hard to give you and your daughter a good life."

Tang Yanling felt only a slight, almost imperceptible, emotion upon hearing Bang Geng's statement.

Soon, even that feeling of being touched disappeared.

"Bang Geng, I'm not saying this to be mean, but hard work alone is useless."

As Uncle Xu once said, you can't get rich by relying on a fixed salary.

No matter how hard you work, how much salary can your factory pay you?

To get rich, you should learn from Uncle He, Uncle Xu, or at the very least, Uncle Yan.

They all made their fortunes through business.

Banggeng looked troubled.

It's not that he hasn't thought about starting a business, but the problem is that he doesn't have the capital and no one supports him.

No matter what business you start, you need start-up capital.

He spent all his salary on pursuing Tang Yanling, and didn't save a single penny.

The family's money is all held by the family members.

Bang Geng knows the Jia family's personalities all too well.

Normally, everyone treats him as the pillar of the Jia family.

When he asks for the money back, he'll turn his back on you.

Jia Zhangshi called him her "good grandson" every day, and whenever he asked for money, she would simply pass it on to Qin Huairu.

Qin Huairu uses his name every day to take advantage of people in the courtyard.

Once he's gotten the bargain, he's no longer involved.

Yi Zhonghai's stepfather talks more than anyone else, spouting one grand philosophy after another.

But when money is mentioned, they fall silent. As for their two younger sisters, the same thing doesn't work when money is involved.

It's not that Bang Geng doesn't want to improve; it's that no one supports his ambition.

"I also want to start a business and make money. Yanling, let's be frugal now and save money slowly."

"Once I have some capital, I'll start a business. Then we can make a lot of money."

This answer did not satisfy Tang Yanling.

Tang Yanling wanted to live a good life right away, not to work hard alongside Bang Geng.

She can share the good times with Bang Geng, but she can't share the bad times with Bang Geng.

"Why are you acting like a block of wood? How long are you going to work hard on your own?"

Do you know how Uncle Xu made his fortune?

Banggeng said, "I know. He's in the rebar business with my second great-uncle."

My second great-uncle's apprentice was the factory manager of a rebar factory.

They made money by selling rebar.

Tang Yanling rolled her eyes at Bang Geng: "That's not what I meant."

Rebar only made him a little money.

He really made money by doing construction projects for He Yuzhu.

At the time, he had no money or manpower. He Yuzhu provided him with money and work, and he was only responsible for finding people to do the work.

That's how he truly made his fortune.

Bang Geng was stunned: "How do you know so much?"

Tang Yanling gave him a charmingly disdainful look: "I asked him about it."

Do you think I talk to him in the yard every day just to gossip?

I was asking him for information.

He says a little today and a little tomorrow; if he adds it all up, wouldn't that be a lot?
You don't think that what I told your mother was motivated by ulterior motives in trying to please Uncle Xu, do you?

"No. I didn't believe my mom. I definitely believe you."

Banggeng was afraid that Tang Yanling would be angry, so he quickly expressed his opinion.

Tang Yanling tapped the stick stem lightly, but not too much.

"If you trust me, listen to me and try to build relationships with Uncle Xu and Uncle Wu more often."

They are all capable people.

If you don't follow capable people and instead hang out with three old men, what future do you have?

You're not even as good as Liu Guangtian and the other two.

Look at them, they're always trying to curry favor with Uncle Xu.

Everyone in the courtyard said they were Uncle Xu's lackeys.

But look at the kind of life they're living now.

You can look down on them from your courtyard.

Once you leave this courtyard house, you must call them Boss Liu.

Bang Geng wore a wry smile. Of course, he wanted to get along well with Xu Damao.

But no.

Back when he was learning how to project movies, he betrayed Xu Damao.

Would Xu Damao be willing to take him along?

"I……"

"What do you mean, 'you'? Can't you let go of your pride?" Tang Yanling retorted.

Bang Geng said, "No, it was when they showed movies back then..."

Tang Yanling said nonchalantly, "I thought it was something serious."
It's just a small matter. Why don't you find a chance to apologize to Uncle Xu?

A couple of years ago, the Liu family had a falling out with Uncle Xu. It was all over money.

Uncle Xu also led them to make money.

Don't be like that old guy over there.

They don't even know what era we live in, still clinging to the title of "old man".

What is his relationship with them?

When people are happy, they call him "Grandpa".

"If he's unhappy, he's nothing."

Bang Geng harbored resentment towards Yi Zhonghai, but he lacked the courage to confront Yi Zhonghai directly.

He was also afraid that Yi Zhonghai would hear what Tang Yanling said, so he quickly reminded him, "Keep your voice down."

Tang Yanling said nonchalantly, "Mom is blocking the door, he can't hear me."

Just tell me, am I right or wrong?

Bang Geng didn't dare to go against Tang Yanling. As long as Tang Yanling was happy, he could ignore Qin Huairu.

"I'll do whatever you say, okay?" (End of Chapter)
