Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

Sha Zhu was stunned by Xu Damao's yelling.

Xu Damao pointed at Sha Zhu: "You're the most heartless one."

Does your family lack the money to buy a house?
You don't lack it.

But what did you do, you bastard?

You'd rather use the money to support strangers than lend money to your sister.

You forced Yushui to sell her blood to raise money to buy a house for her son.

She was killed because of you.

He Yuzhu's hands began to tremble uncontrollably.

It's one thing to guess the outcome, and it's another to have it confirmed.

His eyes gradually welled up with tears.

Fortunately, no one noticed him.

Sha Zhu was dumbfounded: "You said Yu Shui is dead? Impossible. How old is she? How could she be dead?"

You're lying to me.

An old man once said, "You've never been a good person since you were a child..."

Snapped.

Xu Damao couldn't take it anymore and slapped Shazhu across the face.

"In Yi Zhonghai's mouth, only idiots like you are good people."

He Yuzhu nodded, still feeling regretful. He had been too lenient, only allowing Yi Zhonghai to be kicked out of the house.

If He Yuzhu had known all this earlier, he would have definitely made Yi Zhonghai's life even more exciting.

This time, Sha Zhu didn't retaliate against Xu Damao. He just covered his face and looked at Xu Damao in disbelief.

A moment later, tears welled up in Sha Zhu's eyes.

"Rain, why don't you come to me? If you come to me, I'll sell everything I own to give you the money."

After Xu Damao hit Sha Zhu, he actually felt a little guilty. Having been beaten by Sha Zhu his whole life, he had long been traumatized.

After hearing what Sha Zhu said, Xu Damao couldn't help but slap Sha Zhu again.

"How dare you say that? Rainwater came to see you several times. Each time you refused to see her."

Sha Zhu said angrily, "You're talking nonsense. She's my own sister, how could I not see her?"

Qin Jingru sighed: "Shazhu, what Da Mao said is true. Yushui went to the courtyard to look for you several times, and each time my sister received her."

"Nobody told me this." Sha Zhu didn't believe Xu Damao, but he still believed Qin Jingru.

The trick wasn't very clever, but it worked well on Sha Zhu.

This is the trick they used when they went to Baoding to find the White Widow.

They used the same tactic to stop He Yushui and prevent the siblings from meeting.

He Yuzhu guessed it and reminded Sha Zhu.

Sha Zhu was still somewhat incredulous: "There are so many people in the courtyard, how could they know? Nobody told me."

Xu Damao said dismissively, "Why should they talk to you? You only support everyone and give them pensions every month because there are three old men around."

Three thousand per person.

Many factory workers don't even earn that much.

He Yuzhu was somewhat embarrassed.

His current salary is only three thousand. But this amount has to cover rent, living expenses, utilities, and other costs.

After a month, there's basically no money left.

To save money, he had to live in a remote place and take the bus to work every morning.

The benefits of living in a courtyard house are indeed quite good.

They take care of everything, from eating and drinking to relieving themselves.

That three thousand yuan was money he got for free.

If someone treats him like that, he will be devoted to that person.

Using other people's money to do his own thing, Yi Zhonghai truly deserves the title of "Emperor" in this regard.

Those people in the courtyard probably wish Yi Zhonghai could live to be fifty.

That way they won't even need to buy a burial plot.

"That was the money I gave them?" Sha Zhu said indignantly.

Xu Damao sneered: "You gave it to me? Who can prove it?"
The idea came from the three old men, and the money was withdrawn by Xiao Dang and Xiao Huaihua.

The people who handed out the money were three old men and Qin Huairu.

From beginning to end, does it have anything to do with you?

"If it weren't for Qin Huairu's sake, who would even know who you are?" Sha Zhu was still unconvinced: "I earned the money. I even personally took care of them."

"Whom have you personally taken care of? You've only been hanging around Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu."

Have you ever managed other people?

Don't mention Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui. You were sent to take care of them by Yi Zhonghai.

If people want to express gratitude, they should be thanking Yi Zhonghai, what does it have to do with you?

After hearing this, Sha Zhu realized that he really didn't seem to be very useful.

This was unacceptable to him.

The reason he fell out with Lou Xiao'e was because he was worried that without him, the elderly people in the courtyard would not be able to survive.

The result told him that he had played no role at all, which was unacceptable.

If that's the case, why did he fall out with Lou Xiao'e?

Wouldn't it be better to go and live a good life with the young Lou Xiao'e and her biological son?
"Without me, the nursing home cannot be built."

As his lifelong rival, how could Xu Damao possibly let Sha Zhu be so smug?

"Yes, you're right. Without you, they wouldn't have gotten Lou Xiao'e's money."

Without Lou Xiao'e's money, the nursing home naturally couldn't be established.

These words made Shazhu very uncomfortable.

According to Xu Damao, what has he become?
He became a swindler who cheated Lou Xiao'e out of money.

Only Sha Zhu couldn't understand it.

In fact, his role is more than that.

Sha Zhu's true role is to check and balance Qin Huairu.

With Sha Zhu around, Qin Huairu will patiently take care of them in their old age.

Without Sha Zhu, even with money, Qin Huairu wouldn't honestly support them in their old age, and Yi Zhonghai didn't dare to believe Qin Huairu's words.

Sha Zhu had no way to argue and sat there helplessly.

He Yuzhu steered the conversation back on track: "Uncle Xu, why don't you tell us about He Yushui? What exactly is her illness?"

Upon hearing He Yushui's name, Shazhu raised his head and looked at Xu Damao: "Tell me about Yushui's situation quickly."

Xu Damao pointed at Sha Zhu: "If it weren't for Xiao He's sake, I would never have told you this in my entire life."

Then Xu Damao and Qin Jingru started talking about He Yushui.

He Daqing passed away, and his death was somewhat suspicious. Dr. Mingming said that He Daqing was recovering well.

He Yushui had something to do at home, so she asked Shazhu to take care of her at the hospital.

Banggeng ran over and said that Yi Zhonghai had something to discuss with Shazhu, so Shazhu asked Banggeng to look after him and went back to the courtyard house.

The next day, He Daqing's condition deteriorated. It was said that when He Daqing turned over, he dislodged the IV needle.

Bang Geng, being too tired, fell asleep and didn't notice.

He Yushui was skeptical; what a coincidence! But Sha Zhu believed Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu and refused to investigate.

The brother and sister severed ties.

Later, He Yushui encountered difficulties and went to find Sha Zhu several times, but failed to see him.

With Qin Huairu and Yi Zhonghai blocking the way, He Yushui couldn't see Sha Zhu and therefore had no chance to reconcile.

Then came the matter of buying a house.

In order to buy a house, He Yushui went to the hospital to sell her blood, but then fainted.

The final examination revealed it to be late-stage stomach cancer.

It should have been discovered much earlier.

The siblings had a falling out because of He Daqing's matter.

He Yushui felt unwell in her stomach, but because she was worried about the cost, she couldn't bear to go to the hospital for a checkup.

It eventually progressed to the late stage of stomach cancer.

At the same time that Yi Zhonghai was hospitalized, He Yushui was also hospitalized.

At that time, He Yushui also wanted to see Sha Zhu and persuade him.

Sha Zhu's mind was entirely focused on Yi Zhonghai, and he couldn't find any time to visit He Yushui.

He Yushui died without ever seeing Sha Zhu one last time.

The Li family hated Sha Zhu for being heartless; they didn't even inform Sha Zhu when they were handling He Yushui's funeral arrangements.

Even if they had notified him, Sha Zhu probably wouldn't have received the news.

The entire courtyard house belonged to the Jia family, and Sha Zhu, holed up in the backyard, had no way of getting any news.

"I don't know. I really don't know," Sha Zhu cried out in regret. (End of Chapter)
