Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

Is the resort actually a retirement home?

This is not important.

Yan Bugui and Qin Huairu didn't care whether the resort was a retirement home or not.

What they care about most is whether they can move in and whether they can get a good deal.

"Old Yi, according to you, Old He and the others shouldn't have to pay anything to stay at the resort, right?" Yan Bugui asked cautiously.

He was afraid that Yi Zhonghai would say that staying at the resort would cost money.

Yi Zhonghai said matter-of-factly, "The resort belongs to Sha Zhu. The person staying there is He Daqing, that's his father."

"Does a father need to spend money to live with his son?"

"Well... I guess we don't need to." Yan Bugui was a little unsure.

Anyone else would have said no. But the Yan family is different.

The Yan family values ​​their own wealth and does not share it with others.

Even between biological father and son, if they want something from each other, they have to pay money.

Yi Zhonghai said with dissatisfaction, "Remove the 'should' from my name."

There are no bad elders in the world, only inconsiderate juniors.

As a junior, can I ask my elders for money when they live in my house?

“That’s definitely not possible.” Yan Bugui became happy.

According to Yi Zhonghai's theory, it is only natural for these elders to stay at He Yuzhu's resort, and they don't need to spend any money at all.

He'd be happy if it didn't cost him anything.

Yi Zhonghai nodded in satisfaction this time.

Banggeng didn't understand, so he asked, "Why doesn't he just call it a nursing home? Why does he have to call it a resort?"

Yan Bugui then helped explain: "Resort sounds better than nursing home."

If he calls a nursing home, all the elderly people can go and live there.

"Given Sha Zhu's stingy nature, would he really let other elderly people live there?"

Banggeng said thoughtfully, "I didn't expect him to be so cunning."

Qin Huairu said, "It's not just that he's cunning. He's deliberately being wary of us."

"If you hadn't gotten the information from Xu Damao, we would all have been kept in the dark."

Yi Zhonghai concluded definitively, "He is a hypocrite."

They didn't have good intentions in building this nursing home.

Yan Bugui and the other two looked at Yi Zhonghai in surprise: "What do you mean?"

Yi Zhonghai said in a very firm tone, "He must own quite a few houses in Beijing."

Those houses, anywhere can be used as nursing homes.

Why do you think he would build a nursing home in Fangshan?

"Why?" Banggeng was a little confused, annoyed that Yi Zhonghai was deliberately keeping him in suspense.

Yi Zhonghai said, "Bang Geng, don't worry, I'll tell you now how Sha Zhu harbored such malicious intentions."

You must never follow his example.

Qin Huairu then said, "Zhonghai, please tell us in detail. Let us broaden our horizons as well."

Yan Bugui didn't quite understand either, so he just stared at Yi Zhonghai.

Yi Zhonghai slowly explained, "Sha Zhu must own quite a few houses in Beijing."

As far as we know, there are at least five locations, right?

“That’s true,” Yan Bugui said. “Putting aside everything else, just look at the residential complex he just built; it has fifty or sixty apartments.”

Yi Zhonghai nodded: "You tell me, with so many houses, where can't he choose to use as a nursing home?"

"They're choosing our facility to build a nursing home; how could we possibly object?"

Choosing courtyard number 95 to build a nursing home was Yi Zhonghai's favorite choice.

He might object if He Yuzhu did something else.

But if He Yuzhu were to build a nursing home in courtyard number 95, he would absolutely not object.

Yan Bugui immediately understood Yi Zhonghai's meaning. He also agreed with He Yuzhu's plan to build a nursing home in courtyard number 95.

This is their territory.

He Yuzhu built a nursing home in courtyard No. 95, and they were able to take advantage of it.

“Building a nursing home to care for the elderly is a good deed. We would definitely agree to it. Unfortunately, he is not willing to build a nursing home in our area.”

Banggeng curled his lip, thinking to himself, "If he had that much money, he wouldn't want to build a nursing home in courtyard number 95. He would definitely move out immediately."

However, his family is currently poor and still hoping to profit from Yi Zhonghai's ill-gotten gains, so he dares not say such things aloud.

"What does this have to do with him building a resort in Fangshan?"

Qin Huairu chimed in, "That's right. He has so many houses in Beijing, why would he go to Fangshan to spend money to buy land and build houses?"

Yi Zhonghai said, "That's his most insidious aspect."

"Why do you say that? Is there something bad about Fangshan?" Qin Huai asked, puzzled.

Yi Zhonghai shook his head: "It's not that there's anything bad in Fangshan, it's that Sha Zhu has a bad heart."

Qin Huairu and the other two looked at each other, still not quite understanding what Yi Zhonghai meant.

Yi Zhonghai said, "Sha Zhu has never liked He Daqing. But He Daqing is his biological father after all, and he doesn't dare to abandon his father."

If he dares to ignore it, he'll be drowned in the spittle of others.

Qin Huairu wanted to know Yi Zhonghai's reasons for saying that, but no one interrupted.

Yi Zhonghai said, "We all know he definitely doesn't want to get involved."

Is that right?

No one refuted him; they all nodded in agreement.

Yi Zhonghai assumed that everyone agreed with him: "He doesn't want to get involved, but he can't ignore it."

So he adopted the approach of "out of sight, out of mind."

He built a nursing home for Lao He in Fangshan and also brought his master and Lao Xu and others there.

In this way, no one can say that he is unfilial.

But have you ever thought about this?

He nominally asked Lao He to live in Fangshan, saying that the environment in Fangshan was good.

But no matter how good the environment is in Fangshan, can it compare to Beijing?
He's using the guise of doing what's best for Lao He to send Lao He to Fangshan.

He abandoned Lao He in Fangshan, which is so far away. Who knows if he's truly filial to Lao He?

Yan Bugui and Qin Huairu pondered Yi Zhonghai's words, finding them increasingly reasonable.

Bang Geng had no experience and wasn't particularly superstitious about Yi Zhonghai, so he was somewhat skeptical.

"Aren't there other people living there?"

Yi Zhonghai was not angry when Bang Geng questioned his words.

He hadn't had much interaction with Bang Geng, so he couldn't brainwash Bang Geng.

Now that Banggeng has started communicating with him, he's overjoyed.

Yi Zhonghai then asked, "Tell me, besides Lao He, who else lives there?"

"Xu Damao's father, and Shazhu's master." These are the only three people they know of so far, Banggeng answered truthfully.

Yi Zhonghai laughed smugly: "That's right. Sha Zhu's master has been kind to him, so Sha Zhu should treat his master like his own father."

Is that right?

When asked if it was right or wrong, Yi Zhonghai stared at Qin Huairu.

This statement not only refers to He Yuzhu, but also serves as a reminder to Qin Huairu.

If Qin Huairu understood, he said, "Of course. A teacher for a day is a father for life."

Without his master, Sha Zhu wouldn't be where he is today.

It's only natural for him to be filial to his master.

Having understood Yi Zhonghai's meaning, Qin Huairu naturally had to express her opinion.

Speaking of He Yuzhu is also speaking of himself.

Yi Zhonghai was very satisfied with Qin Huairu's statement, so he continued: "His master and He Daqing are the same type."

The only one left is Xu Fugui.

The responsibility of showing filial piety to Xu Fugui should fall on Xu Damao, shouldn't it?

This time he didn't let anyone answer: "We all know very well who Xu Damao is."

In terms of filial impiety, he and Sha Zhu are equally unfilial.

Sha Zhu is unfilial to He Daqing, so Xu Damao certainly won't be filial to Xu Fugui either.

That's why the two of them conspired to abandon their biological father in Fangshan and leave him there.

When the time comes, if anyone asks, they will testify for each other.

Do you think anyone would doubt us if we did it this way? (End of Chapter)
