Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

After finishing his tea, Xu Damao said smugly, "What's so special about this?"
He's just taking advantage of people's reluctance to refuse.

Liu Guangtian walked over and reminded Xu Damao, "You need to be careful of Uncle Yi. He's definitely gone to Uncle Yi to complain."

A neighbor came from the middle courtyard and said, "The third uncle just went into the first uncle's house."

The people in the backyard burst into laughter.

Liu Haizhong came out of the house, and his laughter stopped abruptly.

The three old men were of one mind; no matter how big the internal conflicts were, it wouldn't stop them from working together to target others.

Not wanting to be resented, everyone found excuses to go home.

Seeing that everyone had left, Liu Haizhong turned his gaze away and said, "Da Mao, don't dwell on the past."

Old Yan didn't have any bad intentions.

Xu Damao spat and said, "How come I didn't see that?"

Back then, everyone had a very hard time. Not only did they have to donate money to the Jia family, but they also had to be exploited by them.

Shouldn't we thank him for showing mercy so that we're all alive?

Liu Haizhong was about to lose his temper, but was stopped by the Liu brothers, Liu Guangtian and Liu Haizhong.

Liu Guangtian whispered in his ear, "Dad, we can't offend Brother Da Mao."

Our family business depends on him.

The two brothers pushed and dragged Liu Haizhong into the house.

Once inside, Aunt Erda came over and tried to persuade Liu Haizhong: "What are you doing? Have you forgotten what Guangqi said?"

He's told you countless times to get along well with Xu Damao and Zhuzi.

Is it worth it for you to cause trouble with Xu Damao for Yan Bugui's sake?

Liu Haizhong said angrily, "What do you know? What kind of relationship do I have with Lao Yan and Lao Yi?"

Liu Guangfu said with dissatisfaction, "Who doesn't know what kind of relationship you two have?"

You two will grow old together in the future.

If you want to retire with them, just say so.

I assure my older brothers that I won't stop you.

Liu Haizhong was so angry he wanted to hit someone.

Liu Guangfu looked at him without fear, even showing his face to Liu Haizhong.

Liu Guangtian didn't back down either, and struck the same pose: "Hit me if you want."

The two are now doing business with Xu Damao, and the business is basically on track.

They've grown strong enough now and aren't afraid of the threat from Liu Hai anymore.

The second aunt didn't want to be separated from her son, so she said directly, "If you're going to hit someone, hit me too."

"I'll live with my son from now on, you can live with Yan Bugui."

"you……"

Everyone objected, and Liu Haizhong couldn't do anything about it.

He didn't really intend to disregard his own son for Yan Bugui's sake.

However, he had reached a tacit understanding with Yi Zhonghai and Yan Bugui, forming a defensive alliance, so it wouldn't be good for him not to show up.

Seeing that Liu Haizhong had calmed down, Aunt Er let Liu Guangtian and his brother go out.

"You guys go cook. Don't worry about your dad. He won't be going over for drinks tonight."

The Liu brothers took the opportunity to leave the house.

After the two left, the second aunt didn't let Liu Haizhong off the hook: "Can't you wake up? You're offending your own son for outsiders, what are you trying to gain?"

Liu Haizhong whispered, "What do you know? If I don't team up with Lao Yi and Lao Yan, do you think the three kids will listen to me?"

The second aunt muttered, "I don't understand, I really don't understand."

But I know that if you offend your son, their help won't help.

Liu Haizhong didn't know how to refute it, so he could only sit helplessly in the room.

Yi Zhonghai's home
Yan Bugui didn't talk about his embarrassing side, he only talked about the alcohol.

"Do you know what Banggeng bought the alcohol for? He gave it all to that bastard Xu Damao."

Do you think Banggeng is going to join Xu Damao's side?

Xu Damao is no good person.

"If Banggeng follows Xu Damao's example, he'll definitely never be filial."

This is what Yi Zhonghai is most worried about.

When Yi Zhonghai saw Bang Geng and his wife go to the backyard, he was filled with apprehension.

He wanted to stop her, but then he saw Qin Huairu wiping away tears and begging for money. He didn't dare go out.

He was more reluctant to spend money than to let Bang Geng contact Xu Damao.

Yi Zhonghai wasn't stupid; he knew all along that Qin Huairu was unreliable.

The reason he insisted on having Qin Huairu help him in his old age, besides being reluctant to part with her, was mainly due to the money he had.

This money, of course, does not refer to his salary.

He was never a grade eight worker in his life, and his salary wasn't much.

Yi Zhonghai's true source of confidence lies in the antiques left behind by the deaf old lady.

He Yuzhu's collection of antiques made Yi Zhonghai truly value the junk left behind by the deaf old lady.

Those things are his greatest source of confidence.

"Old Yan, I can't interfere in the affairs of young people. It's no use telling me this."

Yan Bugui said, "If you can't handle it, let Qin Huairu handle it."

You didn't go to the backyard, so you didn't see what was happening there.

Tang Yanling sat next to Xu Damao, pouring him tea and peeling oranges for him, almost feeding them to him.

Since ancient times, the power of pillow talk has been considerable.

Yi Zhonghai clenched his fists tightly, revealing his inner unease.

He is a person with a strong desire for control and dislikes facing the unknown.

Take, for example, Sha Zhu's marriage.

Before Jia Dongxu died, Yi Zhonghai had introduced potential partners to Sha Zhu.

Those partners were all carefully selected by Yi Zhonghai, and all of them had a reputation for being filial.

Unfortunately, the people that Yi Zhonghai had his eye on, Sha Zhu didn't like.

Yi Zhonghai didn't understand or control the women that Sha Zhu had his eye on, so he didn't want Sha Zhu to get married.

The reason is that they are afraid that Sha Zhu will be influenced by the pillow talk.

After Jia Dongxu died, this situation had another solution.

Qin Huairu, who is both filial and beautiful, became the best solution between Sha Zhu and Yi Zhonghai.

Yi Zhonghai was attracted to Qin Huairu's filial piety, while Sha Zhu was attracted to Qin Huairu's beauty.

At this point, the two finally shared a common goal regarding Sha Zhu's marriage.

Yi Zhonghai then truly began to urge Sha Zhu to get married.

Yan Bugui's words struck a nerve with Yi Zhonghai.

Yi Zhonghai forgot his promise to Qin Huairu and accompanied Yan Bugui to the Jia family.

Upon arriving at the Jia family's residence, Yan Bugui took the initiative to recount what had happened in the backyard.

Unfortunately, the two widows in the Jia family didn't care about Tang Yanling's relationship with Xu Damao.

This matter, however, is not as substantial as the meal prepared by Xu Damao.

“Zhonghai, Lao Yan, what’s the big deal? No matter how close they are to Xu Damao, can they be closer than us?”
The couple went there for the sake of this family.

Look, everyone in the courtyard has become rich, and their lives are getting better and better than the last.

Our family is almost starving.

If we don't think of something soon, we'll be eating nothing but cornbread at home.

These are Qin Huairu's words, and they are expressed rather tactfully.

Jia Zhangshi was different: "You two barged into our house just for such a trivial matter?"

Bang Geng is already so old, how can we still control everything he does?

It's his business who he chooses to associate with.

"Yan Bugui, don't think I don't know. You just didn't get what you wanted, so you're deliberately causing trouble."

Yan Bugui said angrily, "Sister-in-law, you..."

Madam Jia snorted and put on airs: "Yi Zhonghai calls me Mom, what do you call me?"
There are no bad elders in the world, only inconsiderate juniors.

I said it's okay for Banggeng to drink with Xu Damao, so it's okay.

Upon hearing this, Yan Bugui realized he had been demoted by a generation and glared angrily at Yi Zhonghai.

If Yi Zhonghai hadn't married Qin Huairu, they wouldn't have been in such an awkward situation.

Yi Zhonghai was in the wrong, but he couldn't deny his own thoughts, so he could only lower his head and pretend he couldn't hear.

Seeing this, Yan Bugui knew his scheme had failed and went straight home.

Yi Zhonghai left awkwardly. (End of Chapter)
