Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

"Who told them to move?"

Upon hearing about the move, Yi Zhonghai was furious and immediately began to question the matter loudly.

No one present answered him.

If they had no other choice, they would have liked to move as well.

When Yi Zhonghai saw this, he was so angry that he could hardly stand. Yan Bugui had to support him so that he wouldn't fall.

"Old Yi, the doctor said you can't get angry."

Yi Zhonghai didn't want to die, so he strictly followed the doctor's orders and suppressed his anger.

"I am fine."

Yi Zhonghai stood up again, and Qin Huairu breathed a sigh of relief. If Yi Zhonghai had really died of anger at this moment, she would have been basically finished.

"China Overseas, are we still having a meeting?"

Looking at the few kittens in the yard, Yi Zhonghai suddenly felt a little disheartened.

These people all come from families that are not well-off.

He could no longer scheme against these people.

This wasn't because he had a change of heart, but because he couldn't afford to offend these people.

These people will be excellent helpers when we deal with He Yuzhu later.

"The reason for today's meeting is to let everyone know that we lost money in business this time, and we don't have a single penny left at home."

Upon hearing the words "not a single penny left," the atmosphere in the courtyard noticeably became heavy.

Everyone had already guessed that Yi Zhonghai would announce the donation next.

However, Yi Zhonghai's words delighted them: "Several of our families have people hospitalized, and we are really too busy to handle some things."

If anyone has some free time, please lend a hand.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing that they wouldn't have to pay, and readily agreed.

Yi Zhonghai then went into his home without a word.

Yan Bugui and Qin Huairu both followed him inside.

Qin Huai asked, puzzled, "Didn't we agree to donate money? Are we not going to donate?"

Yi Zhonghai sighed: "Those households in the courtyard are all people who don't have much money."

How much can they donate?

"What should we do?"

After thinking for a moment, Yi Zhonghai said, "We still need to ask Sha Zhu and Xu Damao about the money."

So, send Banggeng to Chaoyang Hotel to find Shazhu.

Tell him to come back.

Qin Huairu then went out to arrange for the stunt, heading to the Chaoyang Hotel.

Upon hearing this, Bang Geng became unhappy: "Can Sha Zhu come?"

"Go ask around, you'll find out." Qin Huairu wasn't going to tolerate Bang Geng this time.

The best way for her to make up for the losses is to have He Yuzhu pay for them.

What is a son compared to money?

Yan Bugui asked a similar question: "Shazhu probably won't come back easily."

Yi Zhonghai nodded: "I knew he wouldn't come, so I'm being polite to him first, then I'll be firm."

If he comes, then everyone will be happy.

If he doesn't come, we'll take all the elderly people in the compound to the neighborhood committee and the police station.

Upon hearing that it was a strategy of first being courteous and then resorting to force, Yan Bugui laughed: "That's a brilliant move."

I suggested giving him three chances.

If he doesn't know what's good for him, we'll make things worse.

Then, no one can say we're heartless.

Yi Zhonghai meant the same thing.

The two were discussing things enthusiastically, completely ignoring the fact that He Yuzhu had no obligation to interfere in their affairs.

"What about Lao Liu's situation?"

Yi Zhonghai said, "Let's go find Li Dagen together when he comes back. He should be able to help."

Soon, Banggeng returned from Chaoyang Hotel. Unsurprisingly, he didn't see He Yuzhu at all.

Aside from asking him about smuggling gossip, Liu Lan didn't say anything else to him, and didn't even call He Yuzhu.

Calling He Yuzhu about something like this is just asking for trouble.

Yi Zhonghai didn't pay attention to Bang Geng's answer and chatted with Yan Bugui instead.

His purpose was to wait for Li Dagen.

Even as night fell and bedtime approached, neither of them returned to the courtyard house. Yi Zhonghai had no choice but to go to sleep, planning to find Li Dagen the next day.

Unfortunately, Li Dagen was nowhere to be seen by the afternoon of the next day.

Yi Zhonghai asked someone and learned that Li Dagen had also moved away.

"That's outrageous."

He didn't want to be angry, but he just couldn't help it.

Chen Kai rushed back from the hospital: "Dad, something bad has happened! The doctor is urging Uncle Er to pay the medical bills again."

Yi Zhonghai glared at Chen Kai with a livid face, which frightened Chen Kai so much that he was at a loss for what to do.

Chen Kai didn't know what he had done wrong, so he looked pitifully at Qin Huairu.

After all, Chen Kai is Qin Huairu's son-in-law, and when money isn't involved, Qin Huairu takes good care of Chen Kai.

"What should we do now?"

Yi Zhonghai had no choice; the other party simply moved out, clearly not wanting to be taken advantage of.

He would have to go and bring the person back himself.

Although he knew where Li Dagen lived, he didn't want to go there yet.

He must consolidate the power of the courtyard houses before he can go there.

The most important task now is to raise enough money for Liu Haizhong and his wife's medical expenses.

Yi Zhonghai directly instructed Chen Kai: "Go and call Liu Guangqi."

“I called, but he didn’t answer,” Chen Kai explained.

The hospital couldn't just stand by and watch someone die, but they couldn't find anyone from the Liu family.

After learning that the phone number belonged to Liu Haizhong's eldest son, they kept arranging for people to make the call.

Yi Zhonghai slammed his fist on the table in anger: "Don't you know to go to his factory and find him?"

You should tell him. If he doesn't care about Lao Liu, I'll have someone carry his parents to his factory.

Chen Kai didn't even have time to reply before running out immediately.

Yan Bugui saw that Liu Haizhong's medical expenses were almost settled, but the Third Aunt's medical expenses were still unresolved.

"Old Yi, where's my wife?"

Yi Zhonghai rubbed his forehead: "Find someone to call Yan Jiecheng and the others over here. I'll talk to them personally."

Soon, Yan Jiecheng and his three siblings returned from the hospital.

These past two days, the group has been arguing heatedly about the medical expenses, but they haven't been able to reach a conclusion.

Things have changed a bit in this life.

In the end, only Yan Jiecheng and his wife stayed behind to take care of Auntie San.

Throughout her life, fearing that things would escalate and affect Luo Hong's career, Yan Jiedi cooperated with Yan Jiecheng to keep Yan Jiefang and Yan Jiekuang on the job.

Upon seeing the four people, Yi Zhonghai used the "death stare" technique.

His fierce gaze made Yan Jiecheng and the others tremble with fear.

Seeing that he had frightened the group, Yi Zhonghai finally spoke up: "Speak up. Are you going to take care of your mother's illness or not?"

Yan Jiecheng said, "Uncle, I didn't say I wouldn't help. But I really can't do anything about it."

My dad dragged me into business, and we lost all our savings.

What am I supposed to do?

Yi Zhonghai naturally knew that Yan Jiecheng had no chance of escaping this time.

He then turned to look at Yan Jiefang and Yan Jiekuang.

Although Yi Zhonghai's gaze was intimidating, it couldn't withstand Yan Bugui's years of education.

"Uncle, it's not that we don't care, it's just that our family doesn't have this rule."

The rule in my family is that whoever causes trouble is responsible for solving it.

This incident has nothing to do with us; we shouldn't be held responsible.

Yan Jiekuang chimed in, "My second brother is right. When I was a child, I was sick, and my parents either made me tough it out on my own or made me pay for the medical expenses myself."

"My mom is sick this time, so we should follow the family rules. That's fair."

Yan Bugui shouted angrily, "Where would I get any money?"

“We don’t have any money either,” Yan Jiefang and Yan Jiekuang replied in unison.

Regardless of the circumstances, both of them brought up the Yan family's rules.

Yi Zhonghai was so angry that his face turned black, but he still couldn't persuade the two of them.

He then turned his gaze to Yan Jiedi: "What about you? If you are unfilial, aren't you afraid of affecting your husband's work?"

Yan Jiedi said, "My brother won't even pay for my mother's medical treatment, what does that have to do with me?" (End of Chapter)
