Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

When Liu Guangfu got up in the morning, the events of the previous night were still on his mind.

He suddenly felt that something was wrong.

Yesterday, Liu Haizhong suddenly asked He Yuzhu, and then asked Liu Guangqi.

This is too much of a coincidence.

When asked, He Yuzhu replied that he seemed to be in relatively normal condition.

After all, they were eating at He Yuzhu's restaurant, so it wasn't surprising that He Yuzhu, the owner, was there.

Asking Liu Guangqi is not normal.

Why would Liu Guangqi, who was perfectly fine, go to He Yuzhu's restaurant for a meal?

Liu Guangfu went to Liu Guangtian's room and woke him up.

Upon hearing this, Liu Guangtian also became suspicious: "This must have been planned by my parents."

Do you remember what they asked us the day before yesterday?

"Didn't we tell him we were going to have dinner with Brother Zhu?"

Liu Guangfu was now even more certain: "It seems that my brother's trip to Chaoyang Hotel was pre-arranged with Mom and Dad."

He was lying yesterday, wasn't he?

Liu Guangtian thought about Liu Guangqi's personality: "He must have told his parents before he went to Chaoyang Hotel."

It was information his parents had gathered for him.

As for what was said at the Chaoyang Hotel, it must be true.

He's never wanted to stay at home since he was a child.

He came back to see his parents only to get a promotion. Once he achieves his goal, he won't come back.

Liu Guangfu also agreed with this guess: "My parents have shot themselves in the foot."

Liu Guangtian curled his lip: "Haven't they done this kind of thing enough?"

"Then what do we do?" Liu Guangfu asked curiously.

Liu Guangtian snorted: "We won't do anything. Since Mom and Dad are playing tricks on us, they should bear the consequences."

Let's just pretend we don't know.

Liu Guangfu agreed with the idea, and the two went out together.

After going outside, I saw Tang Yanling taking breakfast to Xu Damao's room.

Liu Guangfu nudged Liu Guangtian on the shoulder: "Is the Jia family about to make another move?"

Liu Guangtian pulled him back: "Don't worry about the Jia family. If you offend them, the eldest uncle will definitely step in."

"We'll be in big trouble then."

As soon as the two entered the house, Auntie Er asked, "What were you whispering about at the door?"

"It's nothing. I just saw that Banggeng's wife brought breakfast to Brother Damao again."

Upon hearing this, Aunt Er turned and glanced at Xu Damao's house: "If Lao Yi finds out, he'll be furious."

Liu Haizhong looked up and said, "Don't meddle. Old Yi has already had a hard time. We shouldn't kick him when he's down."

I'm asking you two, what happened between your older brother and Sha Zhu yesterday...?"

Before he could finish speaking, Liu Guangtian interrupted him: "Didn't your older brother tell you not to call Brother Zhu by his nickname?"

Liu Haizhong felt that Liu Guangtian was disrespecting him and was very angry.

Liu Guangtian felt a little guilty, but he did not back down: "Brother asked Brother Zhu for help yesterday to get him promoted."

"If you offend Brother Zhu because of how you address him, even if Big Brother gets promoted, he could still be dismissed."

When Liu Haizhong saw that he not only didn't apologize but also dared to talk back, he was furious. He slammed his hand on the table and stood up.

Aunt Er was very worried after hearing what Liu Guangtian said.

She was afraid that if Liu Haizhong made a scene, it would affect Liu Guangqi and make him resent them.

Seeing that Liu Haizhong was about to get angry, the second aunt quickly said, "Guangtian is right. You really should be more careful."

Guangqi finally got promoted, but because of you, he won't be able to get the position.

I'm not done with you yet.

Liu Haizhong calmed down immediately. He was also afraid that Liu Guangqi would hate him and not want to return to the courtyard house.

"I won't shout anymore, okay? I can't even say a word at home. I'm not eating anymore."

"If you don't want to eat, then don't." The second aunt didn't try to persuade him.

Liu Haizhong angrily left home and ran out to find Yi Zhonghai.

The second aunt didn't care and asked the two of them, "What did you say yesterday? How high a position can your older brother become?"

Liu Guangfu said, "It's not clear yet. We'll have to wait for my elder brother to come back before we can talk about it."

Actually, the two of them didn't really care about Liu Guangqi's official position. When they followed Xu Damao around, they would entertain guests, mostly section chiefs from factories, and quite a few department-level leaders as well.

Xu Damao, after waking up, forgot everything that happened last night.

He asked curiously, "Why did you come to my house?"

Tang Yanling looked at him resentfully: "Didn't I tell you last night that I was going to bring you breakfast?"

Xu Damao thought about it carefully, but still couldn't remember. Unable to recall, Xu Damao stopped thinking about it.

"Thank you very much."

Tang Yanling was furious when she saw Xu Damao's nonchalant attitude: "Uncle Xu, have you forgotten what happened yesterday?"

"What happened yesterday?" Xu Damao asked, surprised.

Seeing that Xu Damao really couldn't remember, Tang Yanling had no choice but to give up.

She couldn't very well say that Xu Damao had assaulted him on the chest, could she?

"It's nothing, it's just that you promised me you'd bring the sticks."

Xu Damao laughed and said, "You mean this? It's not that I don't want to bring him, it's that he doesn't have time."

I've contacted him several times since the Lunar New Year, but he hasn't agreed to meet me once.

What am I supposed to do?

I know it must have been that bastard Yi Zhonghai who came up with this bad idea.

He was worried that Banggeng would be corrupted by me and wouldn't take care of him in his old age.

Tang Yanling cursed Yi Zhonghai in her heart, and also cursed Qin Huairu in the process.

She really couldn't understand what was so good about that old geezer, Yi Zhonghai.

Why is the Jia family so fixated on Yi Zhonghai?

This is how she misunderstood Qin Huairu.

Qin Huairu didn't actually want to hang herself on Yi Zhonghai's head.

But there is no way.

Yi Zhonghai has helped the Jia family too much in the past; everyone knows that the Jia family owes him.

If the Jia family wants to live in this courtyard, they cannot ignore Yi Zhonghai.

At least on the surface, the Jia family has remained loyal to Yi Zhonghai.

"Uncle Xu, don't worry, I've already asked Bang Geng to go talk to his boss."

"The stick won't cause any trouble from now on."

Xu Damao didn't refuse; whether or not Banggeng would get a job was entirely up to him.

"Okay. I'll give you face. Next time something good happens, I'll definitely call you Banggeng."

Xu Damao hadn't lied to them yet, and Tang Yanling hadn't suspected Xu Damao either.

"Then thank you very much, Uncle Xu. Chai Ning and Cui Xin even asked me what you've been busy with."

Xu Damao immediately felt a little guilty. Zhang Yan was in Beijing; he didn't dare to hang out with other women.

"Well, the construction site has been a bit busy and chaotic lately, so it's not convenient for me to take you guys with me."

Another day, another day I'll treat you to dinner.

Tang Yanling was quite puzzled by Xu Damao's guilty look. This was very different from Qin Huairu's description.

Liu Haizhong entered Yi Zhonghai's room and saw Yan Bugui running over as well.

"Old Yan, you're here too."

Yan Bugui said, "You've come at the right time. Tell Lao Yi, did Banggeng's wife deliver breakfast to Xu Damao?"

Liu Haizhong nodded: "He went. He probably needs something from Xu Damao."

Yan Bugui then said to Yi Zhonghai, "Look. They gave Xu Damao steamed buns and fried dough sticks, and this is what they're giving you."

You should have a serious talk with Qin Huairu.

Yi Zhonghai sat there with a dark expression the entire time. He was definitely angry, but it was hard to say who he was angry at.

He repeatedly emphasized to Qin Huairu that she should not get too close to Xu Damao.

The Jia family simply wouldn't listen.

He also knew that the Jia family wanted to make money with Xu Damao.

Yi Zhonghai was conflicted; he wanted to make money with Xu Damao, but he didn't want to have any contact with Xu Damao.

For this reason, Yi Zhonghai has been turning a blind eye and pretending not to know anything.

Yan Bugui is really something; he keeps saying this in his ear every day, as if he's afraid he won't know. (End of Chapter)
