Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

Xu Damao suddenly thought of something and said, "Yi Zhonghai probably doesn't have many."

I remember when he divorced the older woman, she received a little over a thousand yuan.

Yi Zhonghai has always received the salary of a first-class worker.

That money wasn't enough for Qin Huairu to squander.

I doubt he even has two thousand yuan in savings right now.

“You don’t need to doubt it, Yi Zhonghai definitely has one.” He Yuzhu believed that Yi Zhonghai would definitely have a backup plan.

He was even more paranoid than Cao Cao.

The retirement plan was devised for him by the deaf old lady. He followed her instructions step by step, and there were no problems with his retirement.

But what about him?

They didn't completely trust the deaf old lady, but instead took it upon themselves to change the person in charge of taking care of her to Jia Dongxu.

He doesn't even believe deaf old ladies, so how could he believe an old woman?

It should be noted that Yi Zhonghai himself had problems, yet he shifted the blame for his infertility onto an older woman.

He was definitely worried that if the older woman found out the truth, she would divorce him.

With this potential problem, Yi Zhonghai would absolutely never tell the old lady the truth.

"How can you be so sure?" Xu Damao was a little suspicious when He Yuzhu agreed too quickly.

"Do you know how much savings Yi Zhonghai has?"

He Yuzhu said, "He doesn't even trust his own wife, do you think he would tell me how much money he has?"
"Have you forgotten that you followed them back then to exchange money?"

Xu Damao also recalled the events of that year.

At that time, he failed the high school entrance exam after graduating from junior high school and wandered around the courtyard every day.

"Wasn't that your suggestion?"

He Yuzhu did not deny it.

He had to go to work back then. If it weren't for work, he would have personally supervised the work.

"He and Yan Bugui both have money. Only Liu Haizhong, that idiot, doesn't have much money."

Xu Damao nodded: "That's true. Liu Haizhong is just a simpleton."

Yi Zhonghai and Yan Bugui would go to him every few days to beg for money.

If he hadn't made some money selling rebar, would he be living such a carefree life?
I regret taking him along to sell rebar back then.

It's no use regretting it now.

With Lan Jianyun's backing, Liu Haizhong would eventually think of making money by reselling rebar.

This is also a good opportunity to make money from bangs.

Who would have thought that Yi Zhonghai told a lie back then, and Liu Haizhong believed it?

The key point is that he actually helped a college student.

Lan Jianyun is also a grateful person; after so many years, he still remembers Liu Haizhong's kindness.

Even without Xu Damao, Liu Haizhong could still make money using rebar.

The only difference is how much they earn.

In fact, you can make a lot of money by reselling rebar.

Liu Haizhong is bad at business; he ruined a good business deal.

Xu Damao thought for a moment and said, "It seems we need to find a way to empty their coffers."

He Yuzhu was afraid that Xu Damao would take the wrong path.

Originally, he was doing well, better than many people.

He went out to do business just to spite Sha Zhu and got scammed.

In the end, they couldn't even keep their house, and they even angered their parents to death.

There's absolutely no need to deal with Yi Zhonghai and his old cronies.

Beasts are beasts because they are never satisfied.

Don't underestimate these old folks; they have quite a bit of money.

With their personalities, they'll get themselves into trouble sooner or later.

Unless someone is willing to take the fall and bail them out, their situation will only get worse.

At this point, He Yuzhu started to miss Li Huaide.

Back then, it was Li Huaide who swindled Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui out of their entire fortune.

It was precisely because the two of them had been swindled out of their entire fortune that they accepted Yi Zhonghai's invitation to grant Sha Zhu the right to retire in his old age.

That's right, it's a reward for Sha Zhu.

In their view, having Sha Zhu take care of them in their old age is a great favor to Sha Zhu.

Don't be fooled by the nice things they say to Sha Zhu; behind his back, they say very unpleasant things. Xu Damao mentioned this to Sha Zhu several times when he moved into the nursing home.

Unfortunately, Sha Zhu didn't take it seriously after hearing it; at most, he went back to the courtyard to ask Qin Huairu.

He went to ask Qin Huairu, hoping to get some answers.

Qin Huairu's stance has never been that of Sha Zhu.

Under Qin Huairu's manipulation, Xu Damao suffered a relapse of his old illness and was then taught a lesson by Sha Zhu.

If it were anyone else in the hospital, they definitely wouldn't have told Sha Zhu.

Speaking ill of Yi Zhonghai is a thankless and futile endeavor.

Xu Damao is different; this kid has always loved to go against others since he was little.

He specifically found an opportunity to take Sha Zhu back to the courtyard house.

As a result, he was stopped at the door by Qin Huairu.

After Sha Zhu got rid of Qin Huairu, he heard Yi Zhonghai and the other two expressing their gratitude to Sha Zhu.

From then on, Sha Zhu never believed Xu Damao's words again.

Xu Damao eventually gave up and never mentioned these things to Shazhu again.

According to Sha Zhu's memory, Li Huaide should have returned to Beijing.

I don't know why, but I've never heard from him in my entire life.

I wonder if something happened to him.

He Yuzhu really didn't want anything to happen to Li Huaide.

"Don't get yourself into trouble." Without Li Huaide, He Yuzhu didn't know what other way he could trick the three old guys.

Xu Damao said, "Don't worry. Dealing with those three old codgers is a piece of cake."

He Yuzhu knew that once Xu Damao made up his mind, nothing could change it.

In addition, he also wanted to see how Xu Damao dealt with Yi Zhonghai and the others, so he didn't stop him anymore.

In the following days, He Yuzhu had no time to pay attention to the courtyard house.

The whole family is busy preparing for the Chinese New Year.

Although Lin Chih-chieh has retired, he still receives many visitors.

Except for New Year's Eve when He Daqing spent the holiday with He Yuzhu, he spent the rest of the year helping out at the Lin family's house.

I was busy until the fifth day of the Lunar New Year before I finally had some free time.

On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, Wu Tiezhu and several others came to He Yuzhu's house.

Back when they lived in the courtyard house, they would get together on New Year's Eve to drink and chat.

After He Yuzhu moved out, it was rare for the place to be so complete.

The dishes were made by Ma Hua and Duan Zicong together.

He Yuzhu chatted with a few people.

Wu Tiezhu laughed and said, "Zhuzi, you don't know, do you? This year, the courtyard is in an uproar again during the Spring Festival."

He Yuzhu asked curiously, "What caused this commotion this time?"

Miao Jianye said, "What else could it be? It's just about eating and drinking."

A few of us went to the Li family's house for dinner.

Yan Bugui wanted to go with them, but no one welcomed him.

He then went to Yi Zhonghai's house.

Yi Zhonghai is not in charge at home; there's hardly any food at home.

The two of them wanted to go to Liu Haizhong's house.

However, Liu Guangqi came home for the Spring Festival this year. The whole family reunited, but Liu Guangqi's wife wasn't happy about it.

Wu Tiezhu said, "Jianye doesn't know, but I do. Didn't Lou Xiao'e buy a lot of clothes from Hong Kong before the Lunar New Year?"
Xiaofang brought several items home.

Zhang Tong and Wu Na were also there at the time, and Xiao Fang gave one to each of them out of respect for Xu Damao.

Because of this, the sisters-in-law had a few words exchanged.

After Yi Zhonghai and Yan Bugui arrived, they acted like high and mighty managers.

The rest is self-evident; He Yuzhu could guess it all.

Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu's wives might be willing to swallow their anger, but Liu Guangqi's wife would not.

People who don't live in courtyard houses don't buy into Yi Zhonghai's ideas at all.

He's dreaming if he thinks he can use moral blackmail against Liu Guangqi's wife.

It's likely that Liu Haizhong ultimately sided with his daughter-in-law, which angered Yi Zhonghai and Yan Bugui.

As expected, Wu Tiezhu's prediction was exactly what He Yuzhu had guessed. (End of Chapter)
