Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

Qin Huairu's agreement was of no use.

When Banggeng and his wife came home from get off work, they were shocked to hear that they were going to help Yi Zhonghai move.

"Are you out of your mind? Yi Zhonghai is a burden now, why are you keeping him around?"
So, you're the one who goes out to earn money, and you don't feel bad about spending it?

Tang Yanling was practically pointing her finger at Qin Huairu and cursing him.

Bang Geng didn't say anything, but his attitude was clear.

Madam Jia watched coldly, showing no intention of explaining for Qin Huairu.

There was nothing she could do about the IOU, but she hated the marriage certificate.

Qin Huairu explained, sounding aggrieved, "I didn't want to either. But they brought people and threatened me."

what can I do?
If I don't agree, and things blow up, how will our family ever face anyone again?

Tang Yanling said with a disdainful look, "I think you just can't bear to part with him."

This remark angered Bang Geng.

What he hated most in his life was that Qin Huairu cheated on his own father.

"Stop talking. Mom, go and divorce him. Once you're divorced, he won't be able to control us anymore."

Tang Yanling quickly expressed her support: "Yes, that's what we should do. Divorce him."

Qin Huairu had considered divorce, but the problem was what about all those IOUs?

"That's easy, just give the money back to him, that's all," Tang Yanling said nonchalantly.

She was reluctant to give money, but in order to get rid of Yi Zhonghai's harassment, she had no choice but to spend money to avoid trouble.

Qin Huai felt a pang of heartache upon hearing that she had to pay back the money. She had never repaid the money she had borrowed.

Before she could object, Banggeng declared, "Yanling is right. Let's return the money to him."

From this moment on, I sever all ties with him.

Jia Zhangshi was also reluctant to return the money, so she advised Banggeng: "You child, how can you be so foolish?"

Yes, our family does owe him money.

But our family has taken care of him for so many years, we owe him nothing.

To be honest, Banggeng was reluctant to give money. More importantly, he didn't have any money on him.

The little money I earn is barely enough to cover rent and living expenses.

Tang Yanling was afraid that Bang Geng would back down, so she said, "They don't believe what you're saying at all."

It's all because my mom has been married to him for so many years and still hasn't found the IOU.

Consider it a loss to avoid further disaster.

It's better than having him move in and having to serve him every day.

Didn't they say he was seriously ill a few days ago?
What if I get sick after moving here?
Who knows how much it will cost to treat his illness?

If we don't treat him, and he dies here, that would be so unpleasant.

"Yanling is right."

The thought that Yi Zhonghai might die in this room terrified Jia Zhangshi.

She no longer cared about the money; she just wanted to get rid of Yi Zhonghai.

With Jia Zhangshi agreeing, the situation became one of three and a half agreement.

That half is Qin Huairu.

If it weren't for a sliver of hope that Yi Zhonghai might have a backup plan, she would have completely agreed.

She just didn't realize that Yi Zhonghai was just an ordinary citizen.

Even if someone is cunning enough to keep their cards hidden, how many times can they actually do so?

Yi Zhonghai was waiting for Qin Huairu to bring the hampers to help him move.

The person arrived, but they weren't there to help him move.

"Yi Zhonghai, I'm here on behalf of my mother to file for divorce. Also, show me the IOUs and let's calculate how much money our family owes you in total."

I'll give it back to you.

Don't use this as leverage to harass our family anymore.

To make his stance clear, Bang Geng even changed how he addressed Yi Zhonghai.

Yi Zhonghai stared at Bang Geng in shock, an incredulous look on his face.

"What did you say?"

Yan Bugui, who was standing to the side, also couldn't believe Bang Geng's words: "You're confused, kid."

How could you say such nonsense?

Bang Geng said coldly, "I'm not talking nonsense. I'm here to resolve this matter."

Since you say our family owes you, then we'll return it to you.

Don't even think about using this to pester our family.

With a livid face, Yi Zhonghai questioned Bang Geng: "Have you forgotten how I treated your family back then?"

Without me, would your Jia family be where you are today?
"Where's Qin Huairu? Have her come over and talk to me personally." This scare tactic didn't work on Bang Geng.

What kind of education did Bang Geng receive from childhood? It was the teachings and example of Jia Zhangshi.

The entire courtyard owes them a debt; Yi Zhonghai is demanding that they support him in his old age.

So from a young age, while others feared Yi Zhonghai, he was not.

He knew that no matter what he did, Jia Zhangshi would stand up for him.

"No need. Who do you think you are? The earth will keep turning without you."

Our family's life isn't necessarily bad.

Don't think I don't know. My dad didn't become a senior technician because of you, which is why he was held back by his technical skills.

"You're the one who killed my father."

"You're talking nonsense!" Yi Zhonghai roared, his eyes red.

No matter how useless Jia Dongxu was, he was still his apprentice. If Jia Dongxu were alive, he believed his life would never have been so miserable.

Bang Geng remained unconcerned about Yi Zhonghai's attitude and did not get angry.

He simply said, "I'm not here to argue with you today."

I'm here to inform you.

Just tell me how much money my family owes you.

I'm going back to get the money, and I'm bringing my mother with me to divorce you.

"Don't even think about it. I'd rather die than agree!" Yi Zhonghai shouted with all his might.

His lifelong dream was for Qin Huairu to take care of him in his old age.

Only he himself knows best how much he did for this purpose.

Having reached this point, he had no way out and could only go down a dead end.

It's impossible for the Jia family to shake him off.

Yan Bugui was also somewhat angry.

If the Jia family really doesn't take care of Yi Zhonghai, then he'll be left with nothing.

He was starting to regret not moving out sooner. If he had moved out, he wouldn't have run into this mess.

At this moment, Yan Bugui felt a hint of envy towards Liu Hai.

Fools sometimes have good luck.

In order to prevent Yi Zhonghai from becoming a liability, he tried very hard to persuade Bang Geng.

“You can’t do that. Old Yi offended everyone in the courtyard back then for your family’s sake.”

Don't you feel any remorse for treating him like this?

Where is your mom?

"Call her here."

Yan Bugui knew that Banggeng was a difficult child to deal with and not close to them.

He could only turn to Qin Huairu, hoping to persuade her.

Banggeng said expressionlessly, "No need. I am the head of the household, and I make the decisions about everything."

Yi Zhonghai, do you agree or not?

"You're dreaming! I told you, I'd rather die than divorce your mother!" Yi Zhonghai shouted frantically.

Banggeng coldly said, "If you don't agree, then we'll rely on each other. Let's see how many more years you can rely on each other."

Yan Bugui said with dissatisfaction, "Bang Geng, aren't you afraid that we'll bring the people in the courtyard to your house?"

Banggeng chuckled and said, "What's there to be afraid of? At worst, I'll take my mom to work in another city."

This move completely left Yan Bugui helpless.

Their tactics can only be used in specific circumstances.

If they move to another city, forget about whether it will even work. They probably won't even be able to find anyone there.

The three women heard the noise and came over: "Bang Geng, how can you be so heartless?"

Throughout his life, Lao Yi has wronged everyone except your family.

You'll be struck by lightning for doing that.

Yi Zhonghai, standing to the side, flashed a hint of dissatisfaction in his eyes.

What do you mean he's let everyone down?

He asked himself if he had wronged anyone.

All he wanted was a stable and obedient retirement environment; what was wrong with that?

Banggeng ignored this reason: "I've said everything I need to say. If you agree, come find me."

"With my money, you can live a few more good days." (End of Chapter)
