Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

"It's gotten out of hand."

Someone shouted something, and then the old men and women in the alley rushed towards courtyard number 95.

Jin Youcai also stood up and walked over there.

He Yuzhu wanted to ask someone what was going on, but when he saw that everyone around him had run far away, he had no choice but to follow them.

The gate to No. 95 courtyard was wide open, and many people went inside.

This was quite rare when the three old men were alive.

In order to maintain their authority, Yi Zhonghai and the other two kept emphasizing that matters within the institute should be resolved within the institute.

Things that happen inside the courtyard house are not allowed to be spread outside, and outsiders should not be able to easily enter.

With Yan Bugui guarding the entrance, anyone who entered would be treated as a spy and thoroughly investigated.

Over time, basically no outsiders were willing to come to the courtyard house.

Later, when the nursing home was built, fearing that outsiders would be envious, they still sent Yan Bugui to the gate to stop outsiders.

It wasn't until Yan Bugui died that the courtyard house was left without a gatekeeper.

Although many of the people present have lived in hutongs since birth, very few of them actually live in siheyuan (courtyard houses).

Many people are even in their fifties or sixties and have never been inside No. 95 Courtyard.

He Yuzhu recognized several of them from Sha Zhu's memories.

From inside came Qin Huairu's crying and Bang Geng's accusatory voice.

"When you married my mother, you promised in front of an old man that you would take care of my grandmother until her death."

Why shouldn't you keep your promise?

This was something Sha Zhu had promised when he first married Qin Huairu.

At that time, Sha Zhu was tricked by Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu into agreeing to marry Qin Huairu.

But Jia Zhangshi refused no matter what she said.

Sha Zhu was extremely worried.

While cooking for the big boss, he even complained to him.

The high-ranking leader had never met Qin Huairu; he had only learned about her from Sha Zhu.

In Sha Zhu's words, Qin Huairu is a resilient and great mother, and a hardworking and filial daughter-in-law.

The top leader believed that such a woman was a good match for Sha Zhu.

So he gave Shazhu an idea.

Having come up with an idea, Sha Zhu took Jia Zhangshi as his breakthrough point.

Sha Zhu promised Jia Zhangshi that he would treat her as his own mother and give her money every month to support her in her old age, just like when Jia Dongxu was alive.

Later, the two widows from the Jia family even asked Yi Zhonghai to be their witness.

Although Xu Damao ruined the marriage, it did not affect Sha Zhu's promise to Jia Zhangshi.

From that time until Sha Zhu was kicked out of the courtyard, Sha Zhu never broke this promise.

If Bang-ge doesn't kick Sha-zhu out of the house, Sha-zhu will definitely keep his promise.

But now...

Sha Zhu is unlikely to keep his promise.

"Your whole family are ungrateful wretches. You little ingrate, what did you say when you kicked me out of the house?"

Now that your grandmother is dead, you still want me to handle her funeral arrangements? You're dreaming.

"You're talking nonsense. It was clearly you who ran away because you were too heartbroken after the old man died."

"What makes you think you can frame me?" Banggeng retorted angrily.

For so long, the Jia family has never admitted that they kicked Sha Zhu out of their home.

It snowed that night, and very few people saw it, so no one could provide any evidence.

Without any evidence, they continued to follow their pre-arranged plan, claiming that Sha Zhu had run away on his own.

Sha Zhu couldn't produce any conclusive evidence either.

At that time, Sha Zhu's physical condition was not good, and without the spiritual spring water, Sha Zhu might not have survived.

After drinking the spiritual spring water and recovering from his injuries, he was unable to blame Bang Geng.

Although there was no evidence, people tended to believe what Sha-zhu said.

Because Sha Zhu is weak, and also because the Jia family's character is indeed not very good.

People couldn't see through the Jia family's character before because they lacked experience and because of Yi Zhonghai's vigorous promotion.

Now that everyone has seen more and is no longer influenced by Yi Zhonghai, it is naturally easier to see through the true nature of the Jia family.

Both sides stuck to their own versions of events, and neither could convince the other. He Yuzhu ignored the bickering and instead looked at Xiao Dang's side.

Standing there was Xiao Dang's foreign boyfriend, Mike.

Mike's eyes held amusement, as if he were watching a play. Clearly, he didn't consider himself a member of the Jia family.

The argument continued over there.

With Xu Damao's help, everyone started criticizing Bang Geng.

Banggeng, at a loss for words, angrily yelled at his neighbors, "Get out of here! What business is it of yours? Is it any of yours to interfere?"
"If you don't get out of here, believe me, I'll deal with you."

The scene fell silent for a moment.

I must say, Bang Geng really has the confidence to say those things.

In terms of position, Bang Geng used to drive for a ministry. Although he was just a driver, he was a driver for the ministry.

They are not people that ordinary citizens can afford to offend.

In terms of funds, Sha Zhu's money is all in Qin Huairu's hands. Bang Geng can also be considered a minor tycoon.

It's far superior to what those poor bastards in the neighborhood can compare to.

In the past, no one dared to offend the Jia family.

It's different now.

Sha Zhu had a falling out with the Jia family.

Without Sha Zhu, the Jia family wouldn't have as much of a deterrent effect.

"A bunch of ingrates, daring to threaten us."

Once someone spoke up, others followed suit, and soon everyone in the courtyard was criticizing Banggeng.

Qin Huairu realized that Bang Geng had offended all the neighbors with just one sentence.

This terrified her.

She was used to relying on tricking her neighbors to deal with Sha Zhu.

Seeing that I had angered the public, I became somewhat afraid.

At this moment, Qin Huairu hated Yi Zhonghai to the core. If Yi Zhonghai were alive, she wouldn't have had to suffer such injustice.

Without Yi Zhonghai, Qin Huairu lost some of the courage to persevere.

She was still sobbing: "Silly Zhu, I don't know what Xu Damao said to you, why are you misunderstanding our family like that?"

But I, Qin Huairu, can swear that I have done nothing to wrong you.

I don't blame you for not being willing to see my mother-in-law off when she dies.

But you must give up the house to use as a mourning hall for my mother-in-law.

Her last wish was to have her funeral held in the main room of a courtyard house.

An old man once said, "There are no bad elders in the world, only inconsiderate juniors."

No matter how much you hate me, my mother-in-law is still your elder.

This was her last wish. I beg you on behalf of my mother-in-law.

You should just give up the house.

This was her last wish.

He Yuzhu knew that this was Qin Huairu's ultimate goal. Having the simple-minded He Yuzhu handle the funeral arrangements was just a side effect, a convenient bonus.

If Sha Zhu agrees to handle Jia Zhangshi's funeral arrangements, then the matter of the house will naturally fall into place.

If Sha Zhu disagrees, she will use her last wish to force him to give in.

There's a saying that goes, "The death of a person is the greatest loss."

If Sha Zhu doesn't even agree to this small thing, then Sha Zhu's reputation will be ruined.

A fool like Zhu, whose reputation is ruined, will become a morally corrupt person.

If the Jia family does anything to Sha Zhu in the future, everyone will not blindly side with Sha Zhu.

Good idea.

Unfortunately, Qin Huairu overestimated the Jia family's reputation among their neighbors.

After Sha Zhu refused, no one stood up to criticize him for not doing enough.

On the contrary, everyone showed expressions of "that's how it should be."

Sha Zhu spat and said, "Qin Huairu, let me tell you, whatever Jia Zhangshi's last wishes are, they have nothing to do with me."

If you want to arrange her funeral, then do it for her.

If they don't want to do it, just throw them into a mass grave. (End of Chapter)
