Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

After showing off, Liu Haizhong took Liu Guangqi and Liu Lu to the backyard.

Yi Zhonghai and Yan Bugui sat there, feeling a sense of emptiness.

Yan Jiecheng returned from outside and overheard the discussions in the courtyard.

"Liu Guangqi has come to see Second Uncle again."

After hearing Yan Jiecheng's words, Chu Yurong deliberately asked, "Jiecheng, when are you brothers going to visit Third Uncle?"

Yan Jiecheng pretended not to understand: "I come back every day. I see my dad every single day."

Hearing Yan Jiecheng's answer, Chu Yurong smiled and said, "You're right. We see each other every day, so there's really no need to be polite."

Everyone wasn't stupid; they could all hear the mockery in her words.

Chu Yurong did it on purpose.

His son, Hu Yaohua, and daughter-in-law both work at He Yuzhu's factory and earn a decent income.

As we all know, in a courtyard house, good conditions are not necessarily a good thing.

Since they worked for He Yuzhu and their family's situation improved, they naturally became targets.

Two days ago, Hu Yaohua performed well and won a lot of bonuses.

Their family planned to buy some meat to celebrate.

First, he was blocked at the entrance by Yan Bugui, and then he was lectured by Yi Zhonghai at the Intermediate Court.

It doesn't cause any harm, it just makes people feel uneasy.

When Hu Yaohua found out, he wanted to confront the two, but Chu Yurong stopped him.

These two people are both over seventy years old, and nobody wants to take care of them.

If they argue with Hu Yaohua and something happens, the Hu family will be in trouble.

Chu Yurong didn't let her son stand up for her, but she always remembered these things.

She knew very well that Yi Zhonghai and Yan Bugui were now unpopular people in the hospital.

These two are always causing trouble in the yard, and everyone in the yard hates them.

There will be plenty of opportunities to get back at them later.

As expected, once Chu Yurong started, others immediately followed suit.

"Jiecheng, what we say is different from what you say."

Look at Guangqi, he never comes empty-handed.

"Exactly. Look at Uncle Er's kids."

You grew up with them, why don't you learn from them?

Everyone started talking at once, surrounding Yan Jiecheng.

Yan Jiecheng inherited Yan Bugui's timid and cowardly nature, and was somewhat at a loss when faced with so many attacks.

In the end, he could only resort to Yan Bugui's family rules.

“Our family is different from his. My dad set the rules a long time ago.”

Everyone is very familiar with the rules of the Yan family.

Upon hearing Yan Jiecheng's words, he burst into laughter.

Yan Bugui's face turned red, but he couldn't bring himself to speak.

Yi Zhonghai stood up, displeased: "What are you laughing at?"

Old Yan is an elder in the compound, how can you joke about him?

Do I need to explain the importance of respecting and caring for the elderly?

Generally speaking, when Yi Zhonghai said something like that, it could calm the people in the hospital.

With the attitude of "better to avoid trouble," everyone kept quiet and didn't say anything more.

However, Chu Yurong would not give up so easily.

"Brother-in-law, everyone was just joking, why are you so upset?"

The word "brother-in-law" completely baffled Yi Zhonghai.

He didn't realize that Chu Yurong was calling out to him.

In his heart, the three old men were the undisputed elders of the courtyard.

Those with quick minds burst out laughing.

Some of the slower learners don't understand what's going on.

"Yu Rong, who are you calling brother-in-law?"

As luck would have it, Qin Huairu, having just calmed her grandson down, came out of the house and overheard this conversation.

"Sister-in-law Yu Rong, is your brother-in-law here?"

Chu Yurong looked at Yi Zhonghai: "Isn't that right there?"

Now everyone in the courtyard understood.

The "brother-in-law" in question refers to Yi Zhonghai.

Judging from Qin Huairu's lineage, Yi Zhonghai is indeed everyone's brother-in-law.

Yi Zhonghai naturally understood, glared fiercely at Chu Yurong, and turned to go home. Even if he had a hundred mouths, he couldn't explain this kind of thing clearly.

After Yi Zhonghai left, everyone laughed even more heartily.

For many years, Yi Zhonghai has been bullying everyone because of his age.

Everyone in the courtyard, except He Yuzhu, has suffered losses because of this.

Now that we've finally found a solution, how can everyone not be happy?

Only Yan Bugui looked somewhat unhappy.

He was able to block the entrance of the courtyard house and take advantage of everyone because of Yi Zhonghai's support.

Yi Zhonghai, an orphan, was able to become a local tyrant in a courtyard house by using his masterful moral blackmail.

The ultimate tactic in moral blackmail is the saying that elders are always right.

The elder's status carries weight; even a dragon must coil up in the courtyard.

Now that the halo of these elders has been tarnished, how can they maintain their status?

Yan Bugui didn't even bother to put away the chessboard before turning around and going back into the house.

When the old woman saw him come in, she was afraid he would get angry and harm his health: "Calm down, don't take it to heart."

Yan Bugui, remembering that the chessboard hadn't been put away, said, "Go out first and bring the chessboard back."

"If it gets lost, buying a new one will cost a lot of money."

Zhou Sujuan pulled Chu Yurong into the house: "Why did you deliberately provoke them today?"

Chu Yurong said indignantly, "I just can't stand them."

My son earned his money through his own hard work at the factory; what right do they have to spread such rumors?

Zhou Sujuan naturally knew about what happened that day. Such things were commonplace in the courtyard house.

The most frustrating time for the deaf old lady was when she was alive.

"You don't need to go against them."

Chu Yurong said, "Aunt Li, it's alright, I know what I'm doing."

What Chu Yurong didn't say was that doing this was not just about venting her anger.

She was doing it for He Yuzhu's benefit.

His own son and daughter-in-law worked at He Yuzhu's factory and ate He Yuzhu's meals.

That day, Yi Zhonghai berated her and also belittled He Yuzhu.

At that time, Chu Yurong thought, just like before, that it was fine to not take it seriously.

But when her son and daughter-in-law came back and analyzed the situation, she knew that she couldn't do it that way.

It's nothing for my own family to suffer injustice.

He Yuzhu was also scolded and then couldn't take it anymore.

If word gets back to He Yuzhu, how will he view them?

The relationship between the Hu family and He Yuzhu is not as solid as that of others.

So Chu Yurong orchestrated this scene.

Chu Yurong didn't tell Zhou Sujuan about her little scheme.

Seeing that she didn't care, Zhou Sujuan didn't say anything more.

After tidying up the chess set, the third aunt went to Yan Jiecheng's house.

"You still have the nerve to lie at home? Can't you see how angry your father is?"

Yan Jiecheng said, "What is he angry about? Sister-in-law Yurong is right."

So, I should call Uncle "brother-in-law."

The third aunt slapped him angrily: "Are you still going to call your father 'brother'?"

Yan Jiecheng backed down: "I was just saying that, why are you so angry?"

The third aunt said, "I'm angry that you're unfilial."

When people laughed at your dad, couldn't you have been more generous and said you wanted to buy us things?

Just say something and stop them from laughing at your dad.

Look at what you're saying.

Yan Jiecheng was indignant: "Mom, you can't say that."

If I had promised to buy Dad something, could you guarantee he wouldn't use that promise to pressure me into actually buying it?

The three women wanted to say yes, but they just couldn't bring themselves to say it.

She had been married to Yan Bugui for decades, so she knew his personality all too well.

You cannot make any promises to Yan Bugui, especially promises that will allow Yan Bugui to take advantage of you.

I can't even say polite things like "I'll treat you to dinner another day."

Once you've said it, it has to be true. (End of Chapter)
