Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

"Old Yan is right."

First, he affirmed Yan Bugui's idea, preparing to win Yan Bugui over.

Yi Zhonghai continued, "Don't rush to call the police. Didn't you want to find Yan Jiecheng and a few others?"

When they arrive, let's go find Huairu together.

If Huairu really doesn't agree, it's not too late to call the police later.

Yan Bugui understood Yi Zhonghai's meaning: he wanted to negotiate with Qin Huairu and force the Jia family to back down.

He didn't think much of this approach, but in order to force Yi Zhonghai to back down, Yan Bugui didn't object.

"Simply breaking it down into a few pieces won't work. How about we call everyone from our compound over?"

With so many people testifying for you, I believe Qin Huairu wouldn't dare deny it.

Yi Zhonghai thought about it and realized it made sense; there's strength in numbers. That's what he's best at.

"Okay. When they arrive, have them call for reinforcements. Old Liu, why don't you call Guangqi too?"

Liu Haizhong was somewhat embarrassed. It wasn't that he didn't want to call Liu Guangqi, but he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to get anyone to come.

Since moving out, Liu Guangqi has ignored him.

The couple went to find Liu Guangqi, but he was always indifferent and unresponsive.

"That many people are enough, so there's no need to call Guangqi anymore."

Yi Zhonghai said, "Tell him that if he doesn't come, you should take the neighbors in the courtyard and go find him."

He must be scared.

When he arrives, I'll talk to him and ask him to visit you at least twice a month.

The more you and your son spend time together, the more feelings will develop between you.

Maybe he'd be happy to move in and take care of you.

Liu Hai was moved and agreed to Yi Zhonghai's offer.

Yan Bugui's side is relatively simple.

He directly relayed a message to Yan Jiecheng and his two brothers: they would not move unless the three brothers returned.

The three brothers were very proactive in getting Yan Bugui to move as soon as possible.

Those who don't know them might think they are filial sons and grandsons.

In reality, they wanted Yan Bugui to move as soon as possible so as not to delay their ability to make money.

He Yuzhu naturally knew about the commotion at the courtyard house.

He and Xu Damao, having nothing to do, often sat together and chatted.

As the two were chatting, He Yushui appeared.

"I knew you were here as soon as I guessed."

Xu Damao said with a smile, "The diplomat has arrived. I haven't seen you in a long time."

He Yuzhu then asked, "How come you had time to come over?"

He Yushui said, "I just heard that Yi Zhonghai and a few others moved. What's going on?"

He Yuzhu gave her a brief introduction: "They haven't moved in yet, but it will be soon."

He Yushui nodded: "Will Qin Huairu let Yi Zhonghai move in?"

Xu Damao said, "No. Do you really think she's a filial person?"

The Jia family is a bunch of ingrates.

He Yuzhu said, "Whether she agrees or not, Yi Zhonghai still has to move there."

"why?"

"Don't forget, Yi Zhonghai is her husband, and he has countless IOUs."

Those were all written by the Jia family.

With these things around, the Jia family can't just abandon him.

In the last two days before Yi Zhonghai passed away, he gave Sha Zhu a box of things—IOUs from the Jia family.

He told Shazhu to keep these as souvenirs. Shazhu believed him and wanted to keep them as souvenirs.

If Qin Huai disagreed, he threw a tantrum and forced the IOU from Sha Zhu.

It was burned at Yi Zhonghai's funeral hall.

At this moment, Sha Zhu noticed that Qin Huairu's expression was particularly unpleasant.

He couldn't understand that these things were Yi Zhonghai's methods of manipulating Qin Huairu.

Xu Damao said in surprise, "It's been so many years, how come Yi Zhonghai is still alive?"

He Yuzhu believed that Yi Zhonghai would definitely stay.

These items are evidence of Yi Zhonghai's favors to the Jia family and a guarantee for his retirement. He would absolutely not lose them.

He Yuzhu wouldn't help Yi Zhonghai with anything else.

He Yuzhu would definitely help him out with the idea of ​​staying at the Jia family's house.

"Xu Damao, contact the people in the institute and have them all go and support Yi Zhonghai."

Xu Damao said, "Do we still need to contact them? Yan Jiecheng and the others are already in contact with them."

He Yuzhu naturally knew that Yan Jiecheng and the others were in contact, and he also knew that those people would most likely go.

He didn't want those people to go; he wanted them to put in more effort and leave Yi Zhonghai to Qin Huairu.

“Go tell them to support Yi Zhonghai and work hard. There will be a salary.”

Xu Damao chuckled, "That's a good idea. I'll make the call right now."

After listening to what the two said, He Yushui said to them, "You two, is this all you think about all day?"

He Yuzhu ignored her: "What's wrong with thinking about this? You haven't told me what you're doing here."

If you have time, go back and visit more often.

He Yushui rolled her eyes at He Yuzhu: "I'm going back to see Dad. Besides, Yuqing goes there often, so I don't need to interfere."

"Brother, you haven't cooked in ages. Why don't you cook something nice for me today?"

He Yuzhu had no choice but to get up and cook for his younger sister.

With He Yuzhu's covert support, everyone in the courtyard readily agreed.

Seeing so much support, Yi Zhonghai felt much more confident.

With so many people watching, Qin Huairu dared not refuse him.

After moving in, they dared not be disrespectful to him.

This is his bottom line.

A large group of people arrived at the Jia family's residence.

The neighbors all gathered around, wanting to see what had happened.

Jia Zhangshi opened the door, about to curse, but upon seeing those familiar faces, she opened her mouth but couldn't utter a sound.

"Why are you all here?"

Yi Zhonghai said confidently, "Sister-in-law, we're here to talk to you about serious business."

Do you think we should talk here, or go inside to your home?

"What's there to talk about? What's there to talk about?" Jia Zhangshi quickly realized what was going on and didn't give Yi Zhonghai a friendly look.

Yi Zhonghai beckoned, and Yan Jiecheng handed him a wooden box.

"Sister-in-law, Huairu, this is the IOU that Dongxu and Huairu wrote for me."

These things are enough to prove that I, Yi Zhonghai, have done right by your family.

And these neighbors are all here to testify for me.

If you...

"Zhonghai, what's the matter? Come inside and we'll talk," Qin Huai interrupted Yi Zhonghai.

Those things were things the Jia family was in the wrong about, and they couldn't let anyone know.

Yi Zhonghai didn't want anyone to know that Qin Huai was unfilial.

Once Qin Huairu's reputation is ruined, his moral blackmail will no longer be effective.

He brought these things not to expose Qin Huairu, but to force her to submit.

All he wanted was for Qin Huairu to humble himself and promise to take care of him in his old age.

"Okay. Let's go to my house to talk."

The people in the courtyard all went into the Jia family's house, while the neighbors nearby were kept outside.

The neighbors were very curious about what they were going to say.

Unfortunately, since they weren't familiar with the Jia family, they couldn't go inside with them.

The house was too small to accommodate so many people. Only the Jia family and the three old men went inside; the rest remained in the courtyard.

Before she could even sit down, Qin Huairu cried and demanded, "Are you trying to force me to my death?"

Yi Zhonghai did not soften his stance and stated his conditions directly: "My demands are not high. As long as you sincerely support me in my old age, I will not say anything."

After I die, all my belongings will be left to your family.

I called you all here to be witnesses.

If Qin Huai agrees, she will be vouching for the Jia family; if she doesn't agree, she will be vouching for Yi Zhonghai.

Faced with the threat, Qin Huairu had no choice but to compromise. (End of Chapter)
