Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

The fact that the Jia family didn't have enough money is inextricably linked to Yi Zhonghai.

It was Yi Zhonghai's theory of filial piety that protected Jia Zhangshi.

Only then did Jia Zhangshi have the confidence to embezzle Jia Dongxu's salary.

It was Yi Zhonghai's theory of mutual assistance that gave Qin Huairu the opportunity to exploit the loophole.

Qin Huairu obtained the food through begging from various places and embezzled the money that should have been used to buy grain.

With Yi Zhonghai's indulgence, the two widows bleed blood everywhere in the courtyard.

Jia Dongxu was drained dry by these two.

Li Dagen shook his head: "Old Yi really brought this on himself."

Xu Fugui picked up his wine glass and took a sip: "He's just done too many immoral things."

Forget it, let's not talk about them.

What happens to them in the future is none of our business.

Li Dagen said with a smile, "Old Xu, if Old Yi heard what you said, he definitely wouldn't agree."

He'll definitely say you don't care about neighborly relations.

Xu Fugui smiled disdainfully: "He can say whatever he wants, whether he wants to or not."

Let alone now, even twenty years ago, there was no rule requiring people to help their neighbors.

Helping is a favor, not helping is one's right.

He won't help himself, so why should he expect others to help him?

Li Dagen said with emotion, "Zhu Zi sees things more clearly."

He never paid any attention to Lao Yi's ideas.

If you piss me off, just slap me, and everything will be fine.

None of us could figure out Lao Yi's intentions at the time; how did he figure them out?

This question was not only a doubt in Li Dagen's mind, but also a doubt that Yi Zhonghai and the deaf old lady could never resolve in their entire lives.

The deaf old lady had already set up a plan involving Sha Zhu long before she even met Yi Zhonghai.

Sha Zhu was a bait that the deaf old lady used to lure Yi Zhonghai.

She just didn't expect that Yi Zhonghai wouldn't take the bait and would insist on taking the rotten garlic from the Jia family.

Originally, if Sha Zhu had continued to live, this wouldn't have been a big problem.

At least for the deaf elderly woman, it didn't have much of an impact.

The deaf old lady needs Miao Cuilan to care for her.

After she passes away, what happens to Yi Zhonghai will be none of her business.

Whether Yi Zhonghai is willing to believe the Jia family is his own business.

Later, Yi Zhonghai successfully retired, and his life was better than that of the deaf old lady.

But there are too many accidental factors involved.

The success of the plan does not mean that Yi Zhonghai's choice was correct.

In this lifetime, there is no such thing as Sha Zhu.

Their retirement plan was missing a leg from the very beginning.

Let alone Yi Zhonghai's retirement, even the deaf old lady's retirement was not as she wished.

Xu Damao retorted, unconvinced, "What did you figure out?"

I think he just got lucky.

Xu Fugui raised his leg and kicked out: "You try touching me too."

He Yuzhu is now the benefactor of the Xu family.

Xu Fugui had just received a large sum of money from He Yuzhu, so how could he allow Xu Damao to speak of He Yuzhu like that?

Xu Damao rubbed the spot where he had been kicked and muttered, "If you don't want to talk, then don't talk. Why did you kick me so hard?"

Xu Fugui glared at him: "What are you muttering about? If it weren't for you, would our family have been ripped off so badly?"

Xu Damao was now truly indignant: "How is it because of me?"

"If you were so capable of standing up to that deaf old lady, would our family have been taken advantage of?"

Enraged, Xu Fugui grabbed his chopsticks and started hitting Xu Damao.

Although Xu Damao was a scoundrel, he didn't have the guts to fight back against Xu Fugui.

Li Dagen quickly pulled Xu Fugui away, saying, "Stop fighting. It's all in the past, why bring it up again?"

Xu Fugui then let Xu Damao go and turned to Li Dagen, saying, "You're the smart one. You stayed with Zhuzi and didn't get involved in those messy things."

This is probably the thing Li Dagen is most proud of.

At first, no one in the courtyard thought highly of He Yuzhu, except for his family, who thought highly of him and got close to him.

Later events proved how good his judgment was.

Li Dagen knew very well that Li Pan's admission to university was inextricably linked to the He family. Without He Yuzhu, the Li family would have been suppressed by Yi Zhonghai, just like everyone else in the compound.

In that case, Li Pan wouldn't be able to take the college entrance exam, and it's uncertain whether she could even get into high school.

Just look at Li Zhenjiang and you'll know.

He was a poor student from a young age and only managed to graduate from junior high school.

As people get older, they tend to talk about things from the past.

Li Dagen and Xu Fugui became more and more engrossed in their conversation.

He wouldn't listen to anyone's advice and only stopped when he got drunk.

Having no other choice, Xu Damao and Li Zhenjiang took Xu Fugui to the Xu family.

"Mom, you stay home and take care of Dad. I'm going to find a place to sleep."

Xu's mother was too lazy to pay attention to him and told him to find a place by himself.

Compared to her troublesome son, Xu's mother cared more about her husband.

Li Zhenjiang had just returned and asked curiously, "What happened? Why did my dad and Uncle Xu drink so much?"

Xu Damao said, "What else could it be? The two haven't seen each other for a long time, and once they start talking, they can't stop."

Li Zhenjiang understood that Li Dagen was feeling very frustrated.

In the courtyard, the only three people around Li Dagen's age were Yi Zhonghai and two others.

The Li family and those three people just couldn't agree on anything.

It's fine to chat about everyday things, but there are more things you can't say.

The Li family has no intention of participating in Yi Zhonghai's retirement plan.

"By the way, what exactly are the rules for the house that Brother Zhu built?"

Xu Damao asked, "Why are you suddenly asking this?"

Li Zhenjiang said, "I just wanted to ask if Uncle Xu will be moving there in the future."

"How should I know? Why are you asking this?"

Li Dagen explained, "I just wanted my dad to be neighbors with Uncle Xu."

As you can see, this is the current situation in our compound.

Yi Zhonghai actively contacted Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui.

Once the three of them team up in this treacherous scheme, they'll definitely cause trouble in the courtyard again.

I don't want my dad involved in this, so I'm planning to get a house and move out.

Xu Damao chuckled: "Would your wife agree?"

Li Zhenjiang angrily shoved him: "Why won't my wife agree?"

Xu Damao wasn't afraid of him: "Everyone knows your wife is extremely stingy."

The last time I ate at your restaurant, I asked your wife to bring me some food. She agreed verbally, but in the end, she even put it on my bill.

Don't think I'm drunk and don't remember.

Li Zhenjiang said irritably, "You spent three hundred yuan on food in total, and that dish alone cost more than fifty yuan. How can you be so shameless?"

My shop only makes a few bucks a day.

Xu Damao said very bluntly, "You two deserve it."

In Xu Damao's opinion, the couple was simply not thinking straight.

The relationship between the Li family and the He family was the best among all the families in the courtyard.

Logically speaking, the Li family should work for He Yuzhu.

As a result, Yu Li had a falling out with the He family because of what happened during the exercise.

Even after all these years, I still remember it.

The couple made a lot of money running a restaurant.

But no matter how much they earn, can they earn as much as Wu Tiezhu and Miao Jianye?
With He Yuzhu distributing money this time, both families have become wealthy.

It's much better than the meager earnings of Li Zhenjiang and his wife.

Xu Damao was afraid that Li Zhenjiang would lose face, so he didn't dare to say these things aloud.

"You have a good idea, but can you afford it?"

Don't blame me for not warning you, the houses He Yuzhu is building now are not cheap.

He built two basement levels, which cost a lot of money.

I estimate it will cost at least 3,000 yuan per square meter, and a single apartment would cost at least 400,000 to 500,000 yuan.

"So high?" Li Zhenjiang was stunned by the price.

The couple worked hard for several years, and this is all the money they've accumulated. (End of Chapter)
