Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

When talking about Banggeng, one cannot help but mention Qin Huairu. Without Qin Huairu, Banggeng would just be the kid next door.

Sha Zhu wouldn't even glance at it twice.

They don't need to say more about Qin Huairu's affairs.

Sha Zhu has personally experienced Qin Huairu's ruthlessness and now hates her very much.

But how long can this hatred last? Will he forget it when he sees Qin Huairu again?

Nobody knows.

Although He Yuzhu obtained all of Sha Zhu's memories, he was still unable to ascertain Sha Zhu's true thoughts.

"May……"

He Yuzhu was used to calling Xu Damao by his name, but given his current status, it wasn't appropriate to call him by his name directly.

He had no choice but to try changing the way he was addressed.
"Uncle Xu, why did you suddenly move out of the courtyard house?"

Xu Damao turned to look at Shazhu before slowly saying, "If you don't move out, you'll just die there."

The nursing home in the courtyard house is the nursing home for Yi Zhonghai's three uncles.

As long as Yi Zhonghai and the other two men are alive, the nursing home will exist. The day the three old men die will be the day the nursing home closes down.

He Yuzhu could guess the answer, and he asked the question mainly to tell Sha Zhu.

Xu Damao drank a glass of wine before slowly revealing the truth about the courtyard house.

"The nursing home is a joke; it's just a tool for Yi Zhonghai to control this idiot."

With Yi Zhonghai dead, we are naturally no longer of any use.

Not moving?

Staying there means certain death.

"You're talking nonsense. Have you suffered any hardship living in the courtyard?" Sha Zhu said, somewhat unconvinced.

Regardless of how much the nursing home has ulterior motives, it genuinely provides for the elderly residents.

He sacrificed so much to support the elderly people in the nursing home.

He even tried to persuade everyone to stay when they were moving out one by one.

Xu Damao said dismissively, "I admit that we didn't suffer in the courtyard house."

But that's because we're useful.

Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu need our support and encouragement to keep them in the courtyard house.

When Lou Xiao'e and Qin Huairu broke up, wasn't it us who stayed with you?

We do his work for him, and he expects you to support us; that's only fair.

We don't owe you anything.

With Yi Zhonghai dead, we are all useless.

Qin Huairu will not allow us to stay any longer.

I simply saw through their sinister intentions and didn't want to play along with them anymore, so I moved out as soon as possible.

Sha Zhu fell silent once again.

He had heard the same thing from Bang Geng.

The only difference is that the "bang geng" refers to him.

At the time, Bang Geng was hitting him while calling him a useless piece of trash.

He Yuzhu knew that Sha Zhu needed time to process these words.

In his heart, taking care of the people in the nursing home was truly doing a good deed. He couldn't accept the fact that Xu Damao had said.

"What about Aunt Qin? She's Banggeng's aunt, how come she moved out with you too?"

Qin Jingru looked somewhat helpless: "What's wrong with my aunt again? My sister is the kind of person who only cares about money, not people."

She doesn't even care about her own brother, so how could she care about me, her sister who's from another family?
I realized this, which is why I moved out with Xu Damao.

Although we don't have children of our own, Da Mao's child is a kind-hearted person and visits us often.

Sha Zhu, who was still processing the information, looked up and asked, "Weren't you tricked out by Xu Damao?"

Qin Jingru said dismissively, "This is what my sister and Yi Zhonghai told you, isn't it?"

How old was I when I moved out?

What could Xu Damao possibly be lying to me about?

Sha Zhu wanted to say that Xu Damao was good at sweet talk. But this reason was a joke in the face of their age.

What kind of sweet talk could a nearly seventy-year-old man, who has no money, use to swindle a fifty-year-old woman?

*Slap.* Sha Zhu slapped himself again: "I'm fucking living in a lie."

“You deserve it.” Xu Damao showed no sympathy whatsoever: “Let me tell you, everyone in the entire compound is lying to you.”

"Why? I haven't offended you." Sha Zhu couldn't understand.

The deaf old lady and Yi Zhonghai needed to support themselves in their old age, so they took a liking to him and wanted to make him obedient. It was normal for them to deceive him.

If Qin Huairu needed his help to support his family, it would be normal for her to lie to him for the sake of her child.

What about the other people in the courtyard?
They have their own children and don't need to worry about old age; unlike Qin Huairu, they are not widows and unable to support their families.

Xu Damao curled his lip and pointed at Sha Zhu: "You still have the nerve to ask why?"
When I told you that Yi Zhonghai had divided up your family's grain, what did you do?

You beat me up without even asking what happened.

In the dead of winter, you were collecting scraps in the rain, but you found nothing. The rain was crying loudly from hunger, and Aunt Li from the front yard gave it a cornbread.

How did you do it?

You beat up Li Zhenjiang.

He also warned Panpan not to corrupt the rainwater.

Yi Zhonghai held a meeting and caused trouble for the Li family. You even beat up Uncle Li at the meeting.

Do I need to say anything more?
Of all those people in the compound who helped you, who hasn't been beaten by you, and who hasn't been secretly retaliated against by Yi Zhonghai?

And those who moved away for no reason did so because they didn't listen to Yi Zhonghai.

Because of you, an old, childless man is sitting on everyone's heads and defecating.

If we don't take advantage of you, who will?

I'm telling you, you're supporting everyone; you owe them that.

Sha Zhu's expression was complicated, clearly indicating that he was recalling past events.

He Yuzhu didn't know any of this either. In the memories of the simple-minded Zhu he obtained, the main characters were Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu.

The others weren't even supporting characters; they'd long been forgotten by Sha Zhu.

boom.

Sha Zhu angrily slammed his fist on the table in Xu Damao's house.

Xu Damao said with dissatisfaction, "This is the only table in my house. If you break it, will you pay for it?"

"I'll pay for it," Sha Zhu said firmly.

His expression quickly darkened. The moment he was kicked out of his home by Bang Geng, he was no longer the owner of Chuanweiju Restaurant.

He had no money at all; he was a penniless pauper.

Xu Damao scoffed at his words: "What are you going to use to compensate me?"

Qin Jingru stopped Xu Damao: "Just say less. He's already suffered enough."

Sha Zhu, what are you going to do next?
"Should we have Xu Damao try to contact Lou Xiao'e?"

"No." That's Sha Zhu.

Knowing Qin Huairu's scheme, he was too ashamed to contact Lou Xiao'e.

The deeper the misunderstanding with Lou Xiao'e back then, the greater the guilt I feel towards her now.

"I'm not going to contact them." Xu Damao's expression also showed his displeasure.

His relationship with Lou Xiao'e has remained unchanged.

Even when he was desperate and Lou Xiao'e allowed him to live in the courtyard house, she still did not forgive him.

In his heart, he had always hated Lou Xiao'e.

He Xiao's existence tells everyone that he was the one who couldn't have children, a pain that would forever remain in his heart.

Seeing their attitudes, Qin Jingru felt helpless: "If you won't contact Lou Xiao'e, then contacting He Xiao will do, right?"

Seeing that Xu Damao was about to object, Qin Jingru asked, "In the current situation, if we don't look for He Xiao, what will happen to Sha Zhu?"
If we send him back to the courtyard house tomorrow, he'll be beaten with a stick again, and then thrown out by the stick.

"In that case, you saved him for nothing today."

Xu Damao remained silent.

Qin Jingru continued, "The two of us still need your nephew to take care of us."

They simply don't have the ability to control Sha Zhu.

Handing him over to He Xiao is the best solution.

"I disagree." Sha Zhu said stubbornly, "I won't drag you down with me."

Tomorrow, I'll go find rainwater. (End of Chapter)
