Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

After leaving the hospital, Zhang Yan pulled Xu Zhenbao into the car, leaving Xu Damao behind.

Xu Zhenbao gave Xu Damao a helpless look, got into the car, and left with her mother.

The others also looked at Xu Damao with schadenfreude.

Wu Tiezhu even joked, "Xu Damao, you should leave. You're only ten years old, and all you know is how to trick girls into kissing you."

Miao Jianye chimed in, "Indeed. When I was ten, I would blush even when holding hands with a girl."

Unexpectedly, Xu Damao actually…

Xu Damao looked at the group with annoyance: "You're just jealous."

Miao Jianye, when you were ten years old, you were still holding hands with girls.

Tell me, isn't that girl your childhood sweetheart?

Miao Jianye glanced guiltily at Bi Xiufeng: "Don't talk nonsense."

"You said it yourself, how did it become my defense? I think you're just feeling guilty." When it comes to arguing, Xu Damao has never lost.

Miao Jianye was no match for him and was sweating profusely with anxiety.

Bi Xiufeng stepped forward and said, "Xu Damao, don't bully my Jianye."

You'd better think carefully about how to explain this to Zhang Yan.

Hearing this, Xu Damao lost all interest in arguing with them.

During the Chinese New Year holiday, it was quite a struggle to appease Zhang Yan.

Who would have thought that a trip to the hospital would lead to something like this?

Upon seeing He Yuzhu emerge from the hospital, he began to complain to him.

"That crazy woman Lou Xiaowan, she says all sorts of things."

He Yuzhu went to the restroom just now and came out late. I don't know what happened.

"What happened? Where's Zhang Yan?"

Bi Xiufeng then explained it with a smile.

He Yuzhu laughed along, "Serves him right. This kid's never been honest since he was little."

He was only a few years old, yet he was already tricking girls in the neighborhood into kissing him.

He was reprimanded by Yi Zhonghai many times for this.

Xu Damao said angrily, "Nonsense. Yi Zhonghai is targeting me because I saw him go to the Eight Great Hutongs."

He's deliberately getting revenge on me.

"How did you see him go to the Eight Great Hutongs?" Wu Tiezhu asked curiously.

In the courtyard house, there are many conflicts between people. The two main conflicts are those involving He Yuzhu and Xu Damao.

The conflict involving He Yuzhu stems from He Yuzhu's disobedience to Yi Zhonghai's arrangements, allowing the Jia family to bleed him dry.

This is the main conflict within the courtyard house, and many things revolve around this conflict.

Even after He Yuzhu moved out of the courtyard house, the conflict was not resolved.

This conflict will erupt whenever He Yuzhu appears in the courtyard.

Besides the conflict with He Yuzhu, the second most notable conflict is between Yi Zhonghai and Xu Damao.

You said Yi Zhonghai and Xu Fugui have a conflict, which is understandable.

The two were of the same generation, and when they were young, neither of them would give in to the other, so it was normal for them to have conflicts.

But what kind of conflict could Yi Zhonghai have with Xu Damao, who's just a kid?

Unfortunately, the two did have a real conflict, which lasted for more than 30 years.

This contradiction was only concealed when Yi Zhonghai retired.

No one else knows what the conflict between the two is.

Later, Xu Damao did mention that Yi Zhonghai went to the Eight Great Hutongs.

However, he was beaten up by Sha Zhu in the blink of an eye, and Yi Zhonghai forced him to pay Sha Zhu a few yuan in compensation.

At that time, Yi Zhonghai's reputation was at its zenith, and in Nanluoguxiang and the steel rolling mill, his reputation was no less than that of Song Jiang, the Timely Rain.

Everyone had the same thought in their hearts: if they were in trouble, they should go to Yi Zhonghai.

As for the truth, only those who have contacted Yi Zhonghai know.

Anyway, no one in the neighborhood speaks ill of Yi Zhonghai. If anyone did, Sha Zhu would come over and teach them a lesson.

After Sha Zhu finishes teaching him a lesson, Yi Zhonghai will appear very promptly and uphold justice.

Yi Zhonghai gained a reputation for repaying evil with good, so no one believed him when that person spoke ill of him.

Xu Damao already had a bad reputation, so no one believed what he said.

Not only did they not believe it, they also said that he was deliberately slandering Yi Zhonghai.

When Xu Damao said those words, Yi Zhonghai was not yet an eighth-grade worker, but only a seventh-grade worker. Even a seventh-grade worker had a very high status.

Think about it, with Yi Zhonghai's excellent conditions, and his unwavering devotion to his wife who couldn't have children, who would believe that Yi Zhonghai would go to the Eight Great Hutongs?

Having acquired Sha Zhu's memories, He Yuzhu naturally believed that what Xu Damao said was true.

However, Yi Zhonghai did not have a good life, and Xu Damao never revealed this matter.

This is the first time he's said it out loud.

Xu Damao didn't say anything before because he was afraid of being beaten.

He's so young, and he's going to the Eight Great Hutongs. If Xu Fugui finds out, he'll definitely break his legs.

Later, societal trends made him hesitant to speak out.

Things are different now; people don't care about these things anymore.

"I noticed that Yi Zhonghai's behavior was a bit strange, so I secretly followed him."

At that time, the Eight Great Hutongs hadn't been shut down yet, and many people went there.

This statement is quite credible.

Speaking of which, Sha Zhu even sold steamed buns outside the Eight Great Hutongs.

The Eight Great Hutongs were notorious for squandering money; those who frequented them were all wealthy.

Those people must have been working hard all night, and they must be hungry when they wake up in the morning.

If there were a delicious-smelling meat bun, I would definitely be willing to spend money to buy it.

This idea came from He Daqing. Sha Zhu definitely couldn't have come up with it.

Later, somehow Yi Zhonghai found out and had a heart-to-heart talk with He Daqing.

The deaf old lady also wanted to have a heart-to-heart talk with Sha Zhu, but Sha Zhu was afraid that people would find out, so he was unwilling to go.

After thinking about it, He Yuzhu understood.

It's possible that Yi Zhonghai saw him while he was selling steamed buns.

Yi Zhonghai was afraid that Sha Zhu would find out, so he wouldn't let Sha Zhu go over.

These are all speculations, and He Yuzhu has no intention of revealing them.

"Let's stop crowding around the hospital. Let's go."

Xu Damao shouted, "Wait! We haven't had enough to drink at noon yet!"

Let's go to Chaoyang Hotel and have some more drinks.

Since none of them had anything to do today, they didn't refuse, got in the car, and went to Chaoyang Hotel.

Upon arriving at the restaurant, Xu Damao encouraged He Yuzhu to cook.

Wu Tiezhu and his group were also somewhat tempted.

They hadn't had He Yuzhu's cooking in a long time.

He Yuzhu didn't refuse when he saw it, and personally cooked several dishes.

Everyone gathered in the private room and started chatting.

Xu Damao said, "I think Lou Xiaowan has come with ill intentions."

She's probably after Lou Xiao'e's money this time.

Wu Tiezhu said, "How do you know? Don't try to smear Lou Xiaowan just because she said you kissed her."

Xu Damao put down his wine glass and said very seriously, "Wu Tiezhu, you have no brains, don't assume others are like you."

Since Lou Xiao'e's father returned to Beijing, when have his children ever come back?

I don't believe Lou Xiaowan would make this special trip just for her ex-husband's two children.

And there's more, you don't know.

Lou Xiaowan and Lu Jian didn't have a good relationship back then.

The Lu family was after the Lou family's wealth, not Lou Xiaowan herself.

Her words are quite credible.

Xu Damao's biological mother and Tan Yalan had a very good relationship; nominally mistress and servant, they were actually sisters.

Otherwise, Xu Damao wouldn't have been Lou Xiao'e's first choice for a partner.

However, the Lou family's affairs are their own family matters.

These friends of Lou Xiao'e shouldn't discuss it privately.

He Yuzhu said, "Alright. It's not good to talk about the Lou family behind their backs."

Xu Damao said, "I'm not saying anything bad about the Lou family."

I'm warning you, if you're in partnership with Lou Xiao'e, and they're taking money from her, they're robbing you. (End of Chapter)
