Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

Yi Zhonghai has done far too many shameful things like this.

The neighbors only talked about it for two days at most, and then nobody mentioned it anymore.

Only Yi Zhonghai took this seriously, staying at home and refusing to go out.

Others no longer care about these things.

The Chinese New Year is just around the corner, and everyone is making preparations for it.

Now that life is better and everyone has more money, they naturally want to have a good New Year.

Meanwhile, He Yuzhu was also making preparations for the Chinese New Year.

“Ma Hua, I’ve prepared some things. When you go back later, please take them to Uncle Li.”

These items were not only holiday gifts from He Yuzhu to Li Dagen, but also a statement of his commitment.

Li Dagen felt extremely guilty about the invitation that day and was embarrassed to see He Yuzhu.

Ma Hua then told He Yuzhu about this.

Logically, He Yuzhu should have personally visited Li Dagen to appease him.

However, he was unwilling to go to the courtyard house.

Yi Zhonghai has even resorted to forgery, which shows how desperate he is.

If He Yuzhu shows his face, nobody knows what he might do.

If it were just He Yuzhu himself, he wouldn't be afraid of this.

He was also eager to visit the courtyard house and see the miserable life Yi Zhonghai was living.

However, he is not alone.

He had to consider his family's reputation and couldn't let this incident damage theirs.

"Master, I understand."

Ma Hua understood He Yuzhu's meaning without asking anything.

After the experience in Shanghai, Ma Hua has indeed made a lot of progress.

After He Yuzhu made the arrangements, he let him leave.

He has a lot of other things to do himself.

Lin Chih-chieh is inviting his old comrades to dinner and specifically asked him to cook.

This can be seen as paving the way for the children in the family.

Lin Chih-chieh is getting old, and although he is in good health, it is not appropriate for him to continue occupying the position.

He chose to retire in order to pave the way for his children.

Inside the courtyard house, Qin Jingru and his wife, carrying their belongings, returned to the courtyard house once again.

The people in the courtyard fell silent as soon as they saw the couple.

Everyone wanted to know what the couple had come here for.

Everyone's eyes followed the couple to the Intermediate People's Court.

Qin Huairu's expression turned somewhat unpleasant when she saw Qin Jingru.

My cousin came to the courtyard where she lives, but not to visit her. I can't describe how painful that feeling was.

She no longer expects Qin Jingru to buy her many things.

She just hoped that Qin Jingru could give her something, so that she wouldn't lose too much face.

"Jingru, you've arrived."

Qin Jing has made a lot of money this year by following Xu Damao.

The couple saved money frugally for a whole year, and their savings increased by more than 7,000 yuan, soon making them a household with 10,000 yuan in savings.

Although he had money, Qin Jingru's greedy and stingy nature remained unchanged.

She hadn't originally planned to give Qin Huairu anything, but her boyfriend, Yu Shunan, thought it looked bad, so she bought Qin Huairu some things instead.

"Sister, it's Chinese New Year, I've come to see you."

Qin Huairu was secretly delighted, thinking that Qin Jingru would send a lot of gifts.

Because Qin Jingru and his wife carried about ten bags of various sizes.

Qin Huairu felt that even if half of it was given to Xu Damao, the other half should still be hers.

There's a saying: the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

Qin Jingru took out a small bag of apples and a small bag of pastries and handed them to Qin Huairu.

Qin Huairu's pupils dilated, revealing an incredulous look in her eyes.

To her surprise, Qin Jingru gave her the two worst gifts.

She's in a dilemma – whether to answer or not.

Qin Jingru ignored her and stuffed the two items into her arms.

"We still need to see our boss, so we can't talk to you anymore." Qin Huairu couldn't help but say as the two were about to walk into the backyard.

"Jingru, are you sure you're not mistaken?"

Qin Jingru said, "There's no mistake. Sister, what's wrong?"
Oh, by the way, I went back to my parents' house yesterday.

My cousin-in-law also asked, "Are you going back to your parents' home this year?"

With one sentence, Qin Huairu was silenced.

If Qin Jingru hadn't reminded her, she would have completely forgotten about this.

"Banggeng's wife is pregnant, and I need to take care of the baby in her belly, so I may not have time."

Qin Jingru said nothing, turned around and pulled Yu Shunan to the backyard.

No one saw the smug glint in her eyes as she turned away.

Both of the Qin sisters are selfish at heart. The only difference is the degree of their selfishness.

In the early days, Qin Huairu was living a good life and treated Qin Jingru as a poor relative.

Now that Qin Jingru is living a good life, he has turned around and treats Qin Huairu like a poor relative.

In the backyard, Xu Damao had just gotten up and was chatting with Wu Tiezhu.

"Brother Da Mao, Brother Tie Zhu, we've come to see you."

Xu Damao and Wu Tiezhu saw the two and quickly stood up to greet them.

"Why are you here? Aren't you going to say anything? Don't you need to bring anything?"

"It's nothing, just some local specialties I brought from my parents' home."

Look, these are walnuts and chestnuts from the mountains; they're not anything special.

The items weren't expensive, but it was the thought that counted.

Xu Damao immediately invited Yu Shunan to stay for lunch.

Yu Shunan sat in the courtyard and chatted with Xu Damao.

Qin Jingru wasn't idle either; seeing that Xu Damao's room was a mess, she helped tidy it up.

Qin Huairu waited at the Intermediate People's Court, wanting to have a good talk with Qin Jingru.

Before anyone arrived, he ran to the backyard and saw Qin Jingru helping Xu Damao tidy up the house.

"Jingru, what are you doing?"

Qin Jingru stood up: "I'm helping Brother Da Mao tidy up the house, what's up?"

Thinking she had found a reason, Qin Huairu questioned Xu Damao: "How could you let Jingru clean your house?"

Xu Damao said nonchalantly, "What's wrong with helping me tidy up my room? She's the one who tidies up my room at the construction site."

Yu Shunan stood by and did not object.

Xu Damao has a bedroom on the construction site. When he works overtime or drinks too much, he will sleep in the bedroom.

Qin Jingru, as the head manager of the construction site, would tidy up for Xu Damao whenever she had free time.

This is quite different from Qin Huairu cleaning up the house for Sha Zhu.

Qin Huai said, "What do you mean? What's your relationship with Jingru? You just let her help you clean the house. What will people think of her if word gets out?"

Yu Shunan stood up at this moment: "Sister, what do you mean?"

I agreed to Jingru helping Da Mao tidy up the house.

Let others think what they want; we have a clear conscience.

Qin Huai opened her mouth, wanting to say that she was doing it all for Qin Jingru's good.

But Yu Shunan was right there, and he couldn't bring himself to say those words.

“The construction site is the construction site, and home is home. They are not the same.”

Qin Huairu was too embarrassed to say how things were different.

Wu Tiezhu sneered, "Qin Huairu, do you think everyone is like you, cleaning other people's houses with ill intentions?"

He is the most suitable person to say these words.

Because he was the victim of Qin Huairu cleaning the house.

When Qin Huai ran out of arguments, he could only stomp his foot and give up.

That was just a minor incident, and nobody mentioned it again.

Xu Damao and the others were still talking about the project issues after the New Year.

Qin Jingru didn't participate; instead, she obediently tidied up Xu Damao's room and even helped wash Xu Damao's dirty clothes.

Around noon, another meal was prepared, and several people went to Xu Damao's house to drink.

Liu Haizhong also came over with a bottle of wine, wanting to get involved in Xu Damao's business.

Yi Zhonghai and Yan Bugui from the Intermediate People's Court didn't get a chance to participate, and the two sat together sulking. (End of Chapter)
