Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

When He Yuzhu returned from out of town, Xu Damao came to his door.

He Yuzhu already knew about Xu Damao's activities at the courtyard house.

Upon seeing Xu Damao, He Yuzhu asked the same question: "What exactly do you want to do?"

Xu Damao said, "I didn't do anything. I just wanted to annoy Yi Zhonghai."

Doesn't Yi Zhonghai dislike me?

I just want to get close to his elderly parents and infuriate him.

Whether Yi Zhonghai was angry or not, He Yuzhu didn't know, but he was furious with Xu Damao.

He Yuzhu kept Yi Zhonghai around for a reason.

He wanted Yi Zhonghai to experience firsthand what it felt like to be kicked out of his home.

If we anger Yi Zhonghai to death, then Yi Zhonghai will benefit too much.

"Don't do anything reckless. I'm keeping Yi Zhonghai around for a reason."

Xu Damao looked at He Yuzhu curiously: "Tell me quickly, what's your purpose?"

"Don't ask anymore, just wait and see." He Yuzhu didn't want to talk to him for the time being.

Xu Damao started acting like a rogue with He Yuzhu: "If you don't tell me, I'll go back and have dinner with the Jia family."

"I'll make Yi Zhonghai so angry he'll be hospitalized in less than three days."

"You're really shameless."

He Yuzhu angrily pointed at Xu Damao.

Given Xu Damao's personality, He Yuzhu had no doubt that he was capable of doing such a thing.

He Yuzhu had no doubt that Yi Zhonghai would be furious.

Yi Zhonghai was pretending his whole life. His kindness to Sha Zhu was an act, his enthusiasm for helping others was an act, and his magnanimity was also an act.

If we're talking about pettiness, Yi Zhonghai is the least petty of the three old men.

The only difference between him and others is that he only cares about retirement.

When it comes to elderly care, Yi Zhonghai is extremely petty.

Later on, whenever Sha Zhu did anything that was even slightly detrimental to retirement, he would be reprimanded by Yi Zhonghai.

The most serious loss of composure Yi Zhonghai ever suffered was when he drew his knife with Xu Damao.

It wasn't because Xu Damao had beaten Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui, but because he was afraid the two men would be beaten to death.

It's important to know that this was precisely when Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu were having a falling out.

And it's not a minor conflict.

At that time, Qin Huairu could only rely on their years of affection.

Lou Xiao'e's side involves not only feelings, but also He Xiao.

No matter how much affection there is, it's all superficial and far less substantial than He Xiao's.

Yi Zhonghai knew that he couldn't trap Sha Zhu by himself.

He only has a chance of success if he joins forces with Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui.

Xu Damao's attack on Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui nearly ruined his grand plan.

If Xu Damao were to kill these two men, Yi Zhonghai's retirement plan would essentially be ruined.

Xu Damao ruined his retirement, so it's no wonder Yi Zhonghai is determined to fight him to the death.

Fortunately, Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui were lucky, and Yi Zhonghai finally let Xu Damao go.

At the same time, he took advantage of Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui's miserable state to deceive Sha Zhu.

Xu Damao said, "That's still not as good as you. I'm just asking you, are you going to tell me or not?"

He Yuzhu thought for a moment and decided to just say it directly.

At this point, even if we speak out, nothing will change.

A person's character is already set.

No matter what happens, Yi Zhonghai will stick to his path and insist on letting Qin Huairu retire.

Because he was unwilling to accept that his efforts in the Jia family had yielded no results.

More importantly, he didn't want others to think that his judgment was poor.

He wanted to use Qin Huairu to support him in his old age to prove that he hadn't done anything wrong in his life.

It's even simpler for Qin Huairu's side.

Even with Sha Zhu's vast fortune, Qin Huairu couldn't soften her heart, let alone Yi Zhonghai's meager possessions.

The moment Qin Huairu takes possession of Yi Zhonghai's assets will be the moment Yi Zhonghai is kicked out of his home.

Of course, before that, there was another problem: we didn't need so many neighbors in the courtyard.

Back then, Sha Zhu outlived everyone else in the courtyard, leaving only the Jia family and Sha Zhu in the entire courtyard.

Only then could Qin Huai openly and legitimately drive Sha Zhu out of the house.

This move will never be usable again in this lifetime.

However, this isn't a major problem. He Yuzhu can secretly acquire the houses in the courtyard.

In two years, when houses can be bought and sold freely, He Yuzhu believes that the people in the courtyard will definitely be happy to use their money to buy apartments.

As for the value of a courtyard house...

He Yuzhu did not deny it.

It will be almost twenty years before the value of a courtyard house increases.

People living in courtyard houses don't have that kind of long-term vision.

People at this time did not value courtyard houses as much.

Buying a house is not difficult.

The biggest problem is that we can't let the people in the compound know who bought it.

Let them know that He Yuzhu is the one buying the house. They'll definitely ask for an exorbitant price.

Those people have no other skills; their greatest skill is bullying their own people, which is commonly known as being a bully within their own ranks.

Moreover, they don't need to step forward and offend anyone; Yi Zhonghai and his two companions are the biggest holdouts.

With three old men taking the lead, all they had to do was follow behind and pick up the scraps.

This kind of effortless and cost-effective activity is exactly what those opportunistic people in the yard love to do.

"I'm asking you, do you think the Jia family will provide for Yi Zhonghai in his old age?"

Xu Damao sneered, "He's dreaming."

Leaving aside other matters, let's just talk about the Jia family's circumstances.

The Jia family can't even support themselves, how can they support him in his old age?

Not only does he need the Jia family to support him in his old age, but he also wants to drag Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui into it.

He wanted to bankrupt the Jia family so he could support them in their old age.

is it possible?

And then there's the Jia family's character; they're a bunch of ingrates.

No matter how much money they give them, they won't support Yi Zhonghai in his old age.

See, the principle is that simple.

Anyone with a modicum of rationality can understand this problem.

Only Sha Zhu is too deeply poisoned to be recognized.

Asking someone else to help you in your old age is inherently a selfish act.

Yi Zhonghai insisted on turning selfishness into selflessness, dragging everyone in the courtyard into it.

He Yuzhu even suspected that Sha Zhu must have dug up Yi Zhonghai's ancestral grave in his past life, otherwise he wouldn't have done such a terrible thing to Sha Zhu.

"You're right. The Jia family definitely won't be willing to support Yi Zhonghai in his old age."

But could the Jia family refuse?

Xu Damao thought for a moment and said, "They can't refuse."

Everyone in Nanluoguxiang knew about Yi Zhonghai's patronage of the Jia family.

If the Jia family dares not provide for Yi Zhonghai in his old age, everyone will condemn them to shame.

He Yuzhu said, "That's not right. Would those ungrateful wretches from the Jia family care about these things?"
They won't.

Xu Damao asked, "What do you mean? Are you saying the Jia family won't support Yi Zhonghai in his old age?"
Don't forget, Yi Zhonghai is now Qin Huairu's husband and Bang Geng's stepfather.

If they dare not provide for Yi Zhonghai's retirement, Yi Zhonghai can sue them.

He Yuzhu said with a smile, "When I said it, they wouldn't agree."

If the Jia family hadn't agreed, they would have severed ties with Yi Zhonghai long ago.

They will definitely agree.

The Jia family also wants to take all of Yi Zhonghai's assets.

Yi Zhonghai felt that he was doing the Jia family a favor.

But the Jia family wouldn't see it that way.

The Jia family would feel that all of that was humiliating.

They want to completely exploit Yi Zhonghai before they abandon him.

Xu Damao listened to He Yuzhu's words and began to think about them seriously.

The more I thought about it, the more I realized that He Yuzhu was right.

Their view of the Jia family was too superficial. It wasn't as insightful as He Yuzhu's.

"I understand what you mean. You're really insidious, watching Yi Zhonghai jump into the Jia family's trap."

He Yuzhu corrected, "This has nothing to do with me."

They were like Zhou Yu beating Huang Gai – one was willing to hit, and the other was willing to be hit.

If you try to stop Yi Zhonghai from jumping in, he'll definitely get angry with you. (End of Chapter)
