Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

They earn money every day by collecting recyclables, and the group of people live a pretty comfortable life.

Suddenly losing income is something I'm really not used to, and I can't get used to living a hard life.

Yi Zhonghai's life was the most miserable among the three old men.

Qin Huairu was a man known for being greedy for money.

Sha Zhu worked for Yan Jiecheng and came back with his wages every day, but Qin Huairu served Sha Zhu with great attentiveness.

After Sha Zhu was fired by Qin Huairu, he handed over his last day's wages to Qin Huairu.

Qin Huairu's attitude changed as soon as he received his salary.

The current Yi Zhonghai is just like the silly Zhu from back then.

It would be strange if Qin Huai gave him a friendly look.

In the past few days, not only have they not given Yi Zhonghai a single smile, but they have also made him eat cold food several times.

This directly led to Yi Zhonghai being unable to bear it any longer.

Yi Zhonghai didn't openly break ties with Qin Huairu, but he was already thinking about his future.

Yan Bugui and Liu Haizhong are in a slightly better situation than Yi Zhonghai, but not by much.

Liu Guangqi found Liu Haizhong's scavenging of trash shameful and became even more unwilling to talk to him.

Yan Bugui fared even worse.

When Yan's three sons learned that he could make money, they immediately reduced the allowance they gave him.

When the three of them got together, the most frequent topic of conversation was how to scheme against others.

After several days of discussion, Yi Zhonghai finally came up with a solution.

Actually, this was the method he least wanted to choose.

But there is no way.

He didn't choose this option, nor could he find any better alternative.

"Let's go to the nursing home."

"Old Yi, what nonsense are you talking about? I have a son, why would I go to a nursing home?"
"It's too embarrassing, I'm not going." Liu Haizhong was the first to stand up and object.

Even though Liu Guangqi ignored him, if he went to Liu Guangqi, Liu Guangqi would still give him some money for his retirement.

This gave him a sliver of hope that Liu Guangqi would eventually take care of him in his old age.

Once he goes to a nursing home, there will be no hope left.

Yi Zhonghai said with a bitter expression, "Do you think I want to go? We're all getting old, and we don't have any money."

If not a nursing home, where else can we go?

Do you think you can still rely on your children to support you in your old age?

Stop dreaming.

"You..." Liu Haizhong was somewhat dissatisfied.

Yan Bugui raised his head: "I think going to a nursing home is a good idea."

Others care about saving face, but Yan Bugui cares about profit.

When Yi Zhonghai proposed the nursing home, Yan Bugui was only thinking about how much benefit he could gain from it.

Yan Bugui knew very well that his sons would never take care of him in his old age or see him off in his final days.

The only reason I'm still obedient now is because I'm afraid he'll call the police, which would affect my ability to make money.

When he gets too old to move, those kids will definitely turn against him.

At that point, he'll truly be left with no one to turn to for help.

The best way to avoid this situation is to find a place to retire.

Nursing homes are the best option.

Liu Haizhong looked at Yan Bugui with confusion: "Why do you say that too?"

Yan Bugui then explained the benefits of going to a nursing home.

"I'll be taken care of and won't have to do any work. Besides, I've thought of the best place."

"Old Yi, did you think of that too?"

Yi Zhonghai nodded: "That's right. I plan to go to the nursing home run by Sha Zhu. I heard that his nursing home has particularly good conditions."

Yan Bugui said with a smile, "Great minds think alike. I also want to go to Shazhu's nursing home."

Seeing that both of them agreed, Liu Haizhong's stance began to waver.

"Is his nursing home really that good?"

Yi Zhonghai suggested, "Seeing is believing. Why don't we investigate and see if he's truly that filial or just putting on an act?"

The old man had ulterior motives; he went there with the intention of finding fault.

He has already considered the nursing home as his future home. Since it's his home, we should naturally meet his requirements.

Anything that is not satisfactory needs to be changed.

He will only go to the nursing home once things are fixed.

Three old men arrived at the nursing home by car.

The three men made an excuse to visit the nursing home and went inside. The staff there, seeing that they were three old men, assumed they were destitute and kindly went up to ask them what was wrong.

"Sir, who are you people?"

Just as Liu Haizhong was about to speak, Yi Zhonghai stopped him: "We're here to take a look. Could you give us a tour?"

The staff were very friendly and kindly explained things to him.

During this time, Liu Haizhong tried to speak several times, but was stopped by Yi Zhonghai and Yan Bugui.

Yi Zhonghai was in charge of asking questions, and Yan Bugui was in charge of calculating the expenses. The two of them figured out the treatment at the nursing home pretty well.

Nursing homes offer things that satisfy them, such as food and regular check-ups.

More often than not, it's about not satisfying them, such as forcing the elderly to eat a certain amount of food, drink a certain amount of alcohol, or get up at a certain time.

In addition, Yi Zhonghai saw a young girl laughing and joking with an old man in a very disrespectful manner.

It's unbecoming for a junior to be laughing and joking with an elder.

In Yi Zhonghai's eyes, this behavior was utterly rebellious.

What Yi Zhonghai found even more unacceptable was that the nursing home's management staff were all young people.

The old man didn't keep his word in the courtyard.

How can a junior boss around an elder?

He also saw several elderly people weeding on Garden Road. This wouldn't have been a problem in itself, but several young people were standing nearby, and none of them came over to help.

This made him even less satisfied.

Yan Bugui, on the other hand, calculated the old man's food expenses and found that there was a profit to be made.

He even asked the staff member if he could help manage the accounts.

As a result, he was rejected without hesitation.

The three of them walked around for a while and then left the nursing home.

Liu Haizhong said with dissatisfaction, "Why are you stopping me?"

Yi Zhonghai said, "Isn't it because we're afraid you'll reveal our identities and let Sha Zhu know?"

Yan Bugui chimed in, "Old Liu, we're going on an inspection tour. It's safer to talk less and do more."

"You've looked around, have you noticed anything wrong?"

Liu Haizhong, disregarding his anger towards the two, said directly, "Nothing else matters, it's just that the elders' authority is lacking."

Knowing he wanted to be an official, no one criticized him.

Yi Zhonghai and Yan Bugui also shared their opinions.

"Old Yan, could you please compile these opinions? Let's submit them to the government and let them take care of them."

This time, Yan Bugui didn't take any money and just wrote the report letter.

When Lin Jinghan got home, she said angrily, "I don't know who had nothing better to do than write a letter to report the nursing home."

He Yuzhu was taken aback: "Is there a problem with the nursing home?"

Lin Jinghan took out a photocopy of the complaint letter from her bag and handed it to He Yuzhu: "Take a look for yourself."

As He Yuzhu looked at the contents, the more he read, the more familiar they seemed.

The memories of two lifetimes made him instantly suspect Yi Zhonghai and the other two.

"This couldn't have been written by Yi Zhonghai and two others, could it?"

Lin Jinghan asked, puzzled, "Why are those three people causing trouble for the nursing home?"

He Yuzhu reread the whistleblower letter and had a strange feeling.

If we really follow these three people's suggestions for reform, then the elderly residents will have the final say in running the nursing home.

Isn't this exactly their specialty?

He Yuzhu told Lin Jinghan his guess: "Go and ask them if they've been to a nursing home recently."

Lin Jinghan looked shocked: "Weren't they most afraid of going to nursing homes? Have they changed their minds?" (End of Chapter)
