“We are all victims.” Liu Guangqi said this very solemnly.

A single sentence brought them closer together.

Xu Damao, among others, also felt a sense of empathy.

Among those present, Xu Damao was not the one targeted the most, but he suffered the most losses.

He Yuzhu was the most targeted, but because He Yuzhu was a powerful fighter, he didn't suffer any losses.

Xu Damao, being both incompetent and fond of playing games, ended up suffering the most losses.

He Yuzhu, however, felt nothing at all.

He has Sha Zhu's memories, and he knows very clearly that there is only one unlucky person in the entire courtyard, and that is Sha Zhu.

Others may have been wronged, but in the end they were generally compensated.

Whether they admit it or not, these people are all accomplices of Yi Zhonghai.

Yi Zhonghai didn't actually treat them badly.

Especially the core members of the retirement community, they didn't get the vast majority of the benefits.

Liu Guangqi had been secretly watching He Yuzhu, and when he saw He Yuzhu's expression, he felt a pang of bitterness in his heart.

He said all that in order to gain He Yuzhu's sympathy.

The results appear to be somewhat unsatisfactory.

Liu Guangqi added, "I think we should all unite, including the children of the Third Uncle's family."

Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu, those two brainless fools, immediately expressed their support.

Xu Damao sensed something was wrong, hesitated, and looked at He Yuzhu, only to find that He Yuzhu showed no empathy whatsoever.

He immediately calmed down.

The highest-ranking people present were He Yuzhu and Xu Damao. If neither of them spoke up, the suggestion would be a joke.

Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu calmed down and looked at the two men.

They were somewhat puzzled.

Liu Guangfu couldn't help but ask, "Brother Zhu, Brother Da Mao, is what my elder brother said wrong?"

He Yuzhu smiled and said, "Yes, but I moved out a long time ago and have nothing to do with the courtyard anymore."

I won't get involved in how things are going at the hospital.

Liu Guangqi's idea was to unite and rebel against the three old men.

He Yuzhu certainly couldn't object, so he had no choice but to use moving as an excuse.

Xu Damao pondered for a moment and quickly understood what He Yuzhu meant.

Things are different now than before.

In the past, no matter how bad the relationship was, everyone could only hold their noses and live in the courtyard.

It's different now.

The courtyard house could no longer control everyone's movements.

They don't want to deal with Yi Zhonghai, so they'll just move out.

There's no need to go against Yi Zhonghai.

Yi Zhonghai is an old man without any descendants; he has nothing. He'd love for others to cause him trouble so he can then cling to them.

Their actions against Yi Zhonghai are tantamount to helping Yi Zhonghai.

“I’m not participating. If they mess with me, I’ll just move out and live with my dad.”

The three Liu brothers, especially Liu Guangqi, were dumbfounded.

He did all that just to use He Yuzhu's intention to deal with Yi Zhonghai.

How can He Yuzhu just give up?

Liu Guangtian thought about it for a while and then he understood.

Ultimately, He Yuzhu, Xu Damao, and Yi Zhonghai were just ordinary neighbors.

If you don't want to deal with them, you can just move out of the courtyard house.

There's no need to pay them any attention.

Once he understood, Liu Guangtian's eyes were filled with envy.

"You guys are so much better off. Unlike us, we can't sever ties with my father."

"If only things could be like before, I could just publish a notice in the newspaper severing ties with my parents."

Liu Guangfu also realized what was happening, picked up his wine glass and drank it down in silence.

Liu Guangqi quickly thought of a solution: "Brother Zhu, Da Mao, no matter what, we were comrades who went through thick and thin together before."

You cannot stand by and watch someone die.

Liu Guangtian immediately chimed in, "Yes, Brother Zhu, Brother Damao, please help us think of a solution." Liu Guangfu put down his wine glass and also pleaded, hoping that He Yuzhu could help find a solution.

Xu Damao blurted out, "How do you want us to help you?"

He Yuzhu was so angry he wanted to kick Xu Damao. He had already said he didn't want to talk to him, but Xu Damao was still trying to drag him into the pit.

The situation regarding the courtyard houses has now been largely settled.

Yi Zhonghai can only rely on the Jia family to support him in his old age.

Once Qin Huairu finds his family property, his fate will most likely be to be kicked out of the courtyard house.

There is no other way out.

The Jia family won't dirty their hands for a damned old man.

The easiest way is to kick Yi Zhonghai out of the house and let him freeze to death outside.

As for Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui, their fates are unlikely to be good either.

If the two of them were to agree to Yi Zhonghai's demands, the outcome would be predetermined.

Of the three, the one who died earlier actually fared better.

Liu Guangqi had no other choice at this point, so he told the truth: "I'm not afraid of you laughing at me, I really don't want to have any contact with the hospital."

"Right now, I just want to work hard and not be held back by my dad."

He Yuzhu glanced at Liu Guangqi and understood what he meant.

He's going back to the courtyard house now because he wants to become an official. Once he has a good future, he won't pay any more attention to Liu Haizhong.

He Yuzhu believed this.

If Sha Zhu hadn't forced him with his fists, Liu Guangqi would never have cared about Liu Haizhong later.

After Liu Haizhong's ashes were placed in the cemetery, Liu Guangqi was the first to leave.

Liu Guangtian understood what Liu Guangqi meant.

Liu Guangqi was unwilling to take care of Liu Haizhong, so he was even more unhappy.

Of the three Liu brothers, he was the one who got beaten the most.

"I just want to earn more money so I don't have to grovel before my dad."

"Me too." Liu Guangfu quickly understood.

These two had much simpler wishes than Liu Guangqi.

Xu Damao belatedly realized that he had been tricked and had gotten himself into trouble.

He looked at He Yuzhu with some embarrassment.

He Yuzhu felt that the demands of these three people were not excessive.

Liu Guangqi is currently a section chief. If he gets promoted, he will only become a deputy director, and that will be within the factory.

This matter is difficult for others, but for He Yuzhu, it's just a matter of a word.

If I agree to his request, I'll suffer no loss, and I can also extinguish any hope Liu Hai has left.

I believe Yi Zhonghai will take advantage of the situation and trick Liu Haizhong into joining the retirement group.

He's been at odds with Yi Zhonghai his whole life, and he's never helped him.

Let's set aside past grievances and help him this time.

He Yuzhu also wanted to see if Qin Huairu's nursing home could still be so harmonious without that fool Zhu.

He also wondered if the three old men would resort to collecting scraps to provide for Qin Huairu's retirement.

"I know you've all had a tough time. We're all in the same boat."

Back in the courtyard house, my relationship with your father wasn't good. If I helped you, you would get beaten even worse.

Liu Guangqi understood He Yuzhu's words and smiled, "Brother Zhu, don't say that. We weren't able to help you much back then."

He Yuzhu asked, "What's the name of your factory manager?"

Liu Guangqi immediately said, "Brother Zhu, my matter is actually very simple. Director Li is in charge of our factory, and a word from her is enough."

This is going to follow Li Pan's path.

However, that's not how things were done.

He Yuzhu would never allow Li Pan to offend anyone because of Liu Guangqi's matter.

"Here's what we'll do: go back and tell your factory manager to go and report to Panpan."

Liu Guangqi was taken aback, not understanding what He Yuzhu meant.

He not only inherited Liu Haizhong's ambition for officialdom, but his mind also seems to be developing in the same direction.

Xu Damao finally reacted: "What are you standing there for? Go back and tell your factory manager, he'll understand what I mean."

Fearing he would miss the opportunity, Liu Guangqi had no choice but to agree. (End of Chapter)
