Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

Qin Huairu has forgotten that things are not what they used to be.

In the past, she wouldn't say a word; just a wronged expression would be enough for Yi Zhonghai and Sha Zhu to step in and protect her.

Back then, no matter what she said, people believed her.

It wasn't because she was trustworthy, but because others believed that Yi Zhonghai and Sha Zhu would get it done for her.

As the three elderly men passed away one after another, people's trust in her gradually diminished.

The moment she kicked Sha Zhu out of the house, no one would trust her anymore, not even a little bit.

The person she relied on, in other people's eyes, was precisely the most untrustworthy.

Even Qin Jingru, as the aunt, couldn't believe the joke.

"How could you say something like that?" Qin Huairu retorted angrily.

"Isn't what I said the truth?" Qin Jingru didn't argue with her, but simply asked calmly.

Xu Damao overheard their conversation.

Xu Damao came out of the house and shouted at Qin Jingru, "Why are you wasting your breath talking to her? Get inside right now."

Qin Jingru hesitated for a moment, then walked past Qin Huairu and returned to the main room.

Once inside, Xu Damao continued to berate her: "Why don't you ever learn your lesson?"

Haven't you figured out who the Jia family members are yet?
Let me tell you, expecting the Jia family to support you in your old age is like hoping a sow can fly.

Sha Zhu spoke up for Qin Jingru, saying, "Alright, Xu Damao, how dare you talk about Jingru like that?"

Haven't you hurt her badly enough?

Ma Hua chimed in, "Xu Damao, stop complaining. Come back quickly."

Xu Damao defended himself, saying, "How could I be complaining? I'm just afraid she'll be fooled."

Qin Huairu has a silver tongue; she's incredibly good at deceiving people. I'm afraid she'll fall for Qin Huairu's tricks.

Qin Jingru was too lazy to argue with Xu Damao, so she sat down to watch the Spring Festival Gala.

Liu Guangtian reached out and pulled Xu Damao to sit down: "If Qin Jingru can move out with you, she won't fall for Qin Huairu's trick. Don't worry about it."

Xu Damao was genuinely afraid that Qin Jingru would be deceived by Qin Huairu. Compared to Qin Huairu, Qin Jingru was far too naive.

He managed to win Qin Jingru over with just one hot pot meal.

Qin Huairu's skill level is no less than his; one wrong move and you'll fall for her trick.

Yan Jiefang continued the previous topic: "Shazhu, what are you planning to do about Qin Huairu?"

Among the Yan family members, the one who most resembles Yan Bugui in terms of scheming is Yan Jiefang.

Yan Bugui would rather his son be unfilial than give him money.

Yan Jiefang, on the other hand, would rather his wife divorce him than give him the money.

Sha Zhu then asked, "What good idea do you have?"

Since Yan Jiefang had brought it up, he came up with some solutions.

"If you ask me, the only option is to divorce her. I've studied the marriage law."

Property registered under the names of a married couple is jointly owned.

Regardless of whose name the courtyard house is under, Qin Huairu owns at least half of it.

In other words, even if the courtyard house is registered in your name, she can still take half of it.

Therefore, divorcing her is the best solution.

Yan Jiekuang then said, "If you get divorced, you can get half."

If we don't divorce, what if... in the end, we won't even have half left.

That's the logic.

But Sha Zhu was unwilling to accept it.

Qin Huairu has harmed him so badly, and his own sister was indirectly killed by Qin Huairu. How could he possibly let Qin Huairu take half of his property?

He would rather benefit someone else than benefit Qin Huairu.

"I must get all my assets back."

“You make it sound so easy. But it’s not realistic,” Liu Guangfu said.

Xu Damao said, "Why is it unrealistic? It's all up to us."

I called you here to help me come up with ideas on how to deal with Qin Huairu, not to persuade Sha Zhu to give up half of his family fortune.

"Whose side are you on?"

"Of course we're on Sha Zhu's side," the group said in unison.

They were so proactive because they wanted to win Sha Zhu's favor, not to make Sha Zhu misunderstand.

Xu Damao said, "Since you're on Shazhu's side, then don't say those discouraging things."

The law is the law, and reason is reason.

"If your father hadn't been Yi Zhonghai's lackey, forcing Sha Zhu into this situation, how could Qin Huairu have gotten Sha Zhu's inheritance?"

Even though their own father was being verbally abused, Liu Guangtian and his companions didn't react at all.

They hated their own father more than Xu Damao.

"Qin Huairu isn't stupid. She might not even be willing to return half of her family's assets to Sha Zhu, let alone take them all back."

"Xu Damao, you're shouting so loudly, do you have a solution?"

"Yes. You're not thinking of bringing Lou Xiao'e back, are you?" Yan Jiefang asked warily.

Xu Damao looked somewhat embarrassed.

Finding Lou Xiao'e was impossible. Although he didn't hate Lou Xiao'e, he didn't want to see her either.

As for He Yuzhu's matter, he couldn't say.

When Ma Hua returned this time, he felt nothing but gratitude towards Xu Da Mao.

If Xu Damao hadn't saved Shazhu, he would never have seen Shazhu again.

Seeing that Xu Damao was somewhat embarrassed, Ma Hua stepped in to help him out of the predicament.

"You should all keep quiet. What's wrong with inviting Boss Lou? The courtyard house was bought with Boss Lou's money, and the Sichuan-style restaurant was also set up with Boss Lou's money."

She also gave birth to He Xiao for my master. It's only natural that she should return home to give birth.

These words displeased Liu Guangtian and Yan Jiefang. Their purpose in helping Sha Zhu was to exploit the descendants of the childless.

As Sha Zhu's apprentice, Ma Hua was always a thorn in their side.

They desperately want to find a way to drive MCA away. Now MCA is saying that Lou Xiao'e should bring He Xiao back.

If He Xiao comes back, they won't get anything.

This is just adding to their troubles.

“Ma Hua, if you don’t understand, don’t talk nonsense. Do you really think Lou Xiao’e would be interested in Sha Zhu?”

What she's after isn't even the powerful leader behind Sha Zhu. How much money has she made through that leader's connections, and has she actually given away a single penny?

Stop daydreaming.

Ma Hua retorted, "I don't know whether she thinks highly of my master. But I do know that her son is my master's son."

"Stop dreaming. Have you forgotten how He Xiao treated Sha Zhu when he left back then?"
Also, he didn't even send a message to Sha Zhu when he got married. What does that mean?
This shows that he didn't care about Sha Zhu at all.

"Yes, they're unreliable. If we're talking about reliable people, we have to rely on our old neighbors."

As the saying goes, a close neighbor is worse than a distant relative. We grew up with Sha Zhu; he's much more reliable than outsiders.

The Liu and Yan brothers brought out Yi Zhonghai's theory again.

When it comes to the idea of ​​taking advantage of one's neighbor's ill-gotten gains, Yi Zhonghai's theory is simply unbeatable.

Sha Zhu put down his wine glass and coldly stopped the group: "Rely on you?"

Liu Guangtian said, "That's right. If you don't rely on us, who else can you rely on?"
In our department, only a few of us can help you.

The others took the bribe and ran away long ago. You've been in trouble for so long, and not a single one has come to see you.

Sha Zhu said angrily, "Don't mention those ungrateful wretches to me."

MCA didn't want them to talk about Sha Zhu like that, so they said: "I don't need to rely on you. My master has me as his disciple, and I have my own disciples."

Then we can support our master.

Yan Jiefang burst into laughter: "Rely on you? Don't be ridiculous!"
If your apprentices were reliable, they wouldn't be working for Qin Huairu.

Why is Chuanweiju restaurant doing so well? It's all thanks to your apprentices.

"If you're so capable, go to Chuanweiju and tell your apprentices not to work there."

Ma Hua blushed, unsure how to explain. (End of Chapter)
