Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

honest?

"How am I being dishonest?" Yan Bugui thought indignantly as he sat in the room.

He Yuzhu is now rich; a little bit of it peeking out from between his fingers is enough for them to live a good life.

He Yuzhu is clearly heartless; he makes money but doesn't want to take care of his old neighbors. Why do you say he's dishonest?

The three women sat inside the house the whole time and heard what Xu Damao said.

As soon as Xu Damao left, she stood up indignantly: "Just because you have a little money, you think you're something special."

In our compound, Sha Zhu and Xu Damao are the worst.

The two of them were not only unfilial, but they also corrupted the other children in the courtyard.

"Our children are unfilial; they're the ones who led them astray."

There's a saying that goes, "A person's greatest virtue is self-awareness."

The people in courtyard number 95 are all beasts; naturally, they wouldn't do that.

Yi Zhonghai and Yan Bugui were unhappy with their lives and had no hope of retirement, so they directed all their resentment at He Yuzhu.

Whenever something goes wrong, they will shift the blame onto He Yuzhu.

"Sigh." Yan Bugui's heart was filled with resentment, with a hint of regret mixed in.

He resented He Yuzhu for being tactless, for not getting close to him over a small argument.

He decided to forgive He Yuzhu, but He Yuzhu was ungrateful and unwilling to repent.

He quickly discarded the last bit of regret he had.

Yan Bugui insists that the choice made back then was not wrong.

On one side are the deaf old lady and Yi Zhonghai, who are at the height of their power; on the other side is a helpless teenager with a younger sister who is also a burden.

Anyone would have made the same choice.

He simply made the choice that any normal person would make.

If anyone is to blame, it's He Yuzhu for being too foolish in his youth, which made him a target for the deaf old lady and Yi Zhonghai.

Thinking about it this way, Yan Bugui felt a little better.

"What's the point of saying all that now?"

The three women said helplessly, "If you won't let me say this, then what do you want me to say?"
Look across the street, then look at the Wu Tiezhu and Miao Jianye families.

They're all outsiders; they're doing so well now just because they flattered Sha Zhu so well.

No wonder the three aunties were jealous.

Now that Miao Jianye and his wife have money, they tend to spend it extravagantly.

A couple of days ago, the couple bought a lot of delicious food, ate only a little bit, and then shared it with their neighbors.

If some of it were given to the third aunt, she wouldn't be so jealous.

But that couple didn't give the third aunt a single bite. Even though they clearly saw her, they completely ignored her.

In the eyes of the three aunties, the couple was doing something wrong.

However, Miao Jianye and his wife believed that it would be wrong if they hadn't deliberately tempted the three older women.

Miao Jianye and his wife are very clear about how they got to where they are today.

Without He Yuzhu, they would never have earned so much money in their entire lives.

They can't help He Yuzhu deal with Yi Zhonghai and his group, but they can still manage to cut off contact with them.

When the topic turned to Miao Jianye and his wife, Yan Bugui suddenly thought of a question.

"Have those two been staying here less often lately?"

The older woman looked at him, puzzled: "Why are you asking this?"

"Never mind that, just tell me if they rarely come back to stay." Yan Bugui didn't answer, but continued to press for answers.

The three women nodded: "That's right. I don't know what those two are busy with, they've given away all their things."

They simply gave their refrigerator to Old Li's family.

You know, Old Li's family already has a refrigerator, how can you possibly ask for theirs?

He also gave away his television set.

"You've only had it for a few years, and you're already throwing it away? You're so wasteful!"

As Yan Bugui listened to the third aunt's words, his doubts deepened.

Lately, he's been so focused on figuring out how to manipulate treasury bonds that he hasn't paid much attention to these things. Suddenly realizing it, he felt like he'd missed out on hundreds of millions.

"Why didn't you tell me about something this big sooner?"

The three women said somewhat aggrievedly, "What good would it do to tell you?"

“I can go to them and have them deliver it to us,” Yan Bugui said matter-of-factly.

The three older women curled their lip: "Do you think I didn't go? They didn't give me any face at all."

You shouldn't have hung out with Lao Yi in the first place.

Hearing the accusations from the three women, Yan Bugui looked indignant: "You make it sound nice."

If I hadn't agreed to join forces with Lao Yi back then, do you think our family could still be living in the courtyard house?

Can I still become the third uncle?
Didn't you see how the deaf old lady and Lao Yi dealt with He Daqing and Xu Fugui when they were disobedient?

“But Old Li is fine.” The third aunt was unconvinced and argued her point.

"How can that be the same?" Yan Bugui said angrily.

Li Dagen was just an ordinary resident and had little impact on the situation in the courtyard.

Yan Bugui, on the other hand, was one of the people who made the decisions in the courtyard.

If he wanted to maintain his position in the courtyard, he had to side with the deaf old lady and Yi Zhonghai.

Yan Bugui actually understood things very well.

Their family is different from Li Dagen's family.

Li Dagen's family might be better off not living in a courtyard house.

If the Yan family didn't live in the courtyard house, their lives would only be worse. Only courtyard number 95 would allow Yan Bugui to guard the gate and take advantage of the situation every day.

Otherwise, why would Yan Bugui, a small property owner, come to live in No. 95 Courtyard?

"How is it different?" the third aunt blurted out in a fit of anger.

Yan Bugui sighed: "Have you forgotten how we moved here?"

Upon hearing this, the third aunt recalled past events and immediately sighed.

Back then, everyone was struggling financially, and no one could afford to be exploited like that.

They've offended quite a few people because of their exploitative practices.

Not only did they offend their neighbors, but they also offended their relatives.

Over the years, their relatives have long since severed ties with them and stopped having any contact with them.

Their situation only improved after they moved into courtyard number 95.

At that time, there weren't many people in No. 95 Courtyard. Apart from the Jia family, the residents were all quite well-off.

The people in charge of the compound all had their own agendas, so as long as they didn't go too far, no one cared about their schemes.

Of course, Yi Zhonghai helped smooth things over in this process.

This is one of the reasons why he ultimately sided with Yi Zhonghai.

Although Yi Zhonghai is stingy, he is very generous when it comes to spending other people's money. Every time Yi Zhonghai tries to smooth things over, he ends up getting the short end of the stick.

If he doesn't follow Yi Zhonghai, why would he follow He Yuzhu?

He'd be too ashamed to be assigned to work as a waiter.

Yan Bugui shook his head, trying not to think about it: "I feel like something's not right."

The Miao family gave away all their belongings. Don't they live in the courtyard anymore?

And also, their two sons haven't been back for a long time.

The three women were taken aback, and silently began to calculate: "That can't be right. If they don't live in the courtyard, where could they go?"

Yan Bugui slapped his thigh: "They're definitely going to move."

"Moving?" The three women instinctively started calculating: "Moving doesn't cost money. Why waste that money?"

The more Yan Bugui thought about it, the more he felt that the Miao family seemed to be moving.

Actually, he was right; Miao Jianye and his wife were indeed preparing to move.

Their house in the courtyard was too small; they couldn't fit everyone in it.

After the couple became wealthy, they had been wanting to move for a long time.

The house is now renovated and aired out; it's ready to live in. Their child has already moved in. (End of Chapter)
