Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

When Qin Huairu returned, he heard about what had happened from Jia Zhangshi.

She came over to Yi Zhonghai and said considerately, "Zhonghai, what are you thinking about?"

I met with Li Huaide because I wanted to see how he made his fortune.

I'm doing this for the good of our nursing home.

They won't let us touch the money at the restaurant.

The money earned from just three fried chicken shops is simply not enough to cover the expenses of our nursing home.

If we don't find a way to make some money, things will get difficult if something happens.

“Li Huaide is just like Sha Zhu, he’s not a good person. I’m worried that you’ll be deceived by him.” Yi Zhonghai didn’t mention his own selfish motives, only that it was for everyone’s good.

Qin Huairu ignored his explanation: "I know."

As the saying goes, "A fall into a pit, a gain in your wit."

We're not stupid.

I was with Lao Yan and Bang Geng; he didn't have that ability.

"If you walk by the river often, you're bound to get your shoes wet. Huairu, you can't go wrong by listening to me." Yi Zhonghai stubbornly insisted.

Neither side could convince the other.

Yan Bugui also heard about what happened today, so he brought Liu Haizhong over to see.

Before even entering the house, I could hear Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu arguing.

The two people walked in.

Liu Haizhong said, "Stop arguing, what's there to argue about?"

Lao Yi, I'm not trying to be mean, but you're a good person in every way, except you're petty.

Li Huaide is a big boss now, he has plenty of money.

What do we have?
What good would it do him to lie to us?

Qin Huairu then added, "Old Liu is right. Li Huaide said he came here to seek revenge."

We have no grudge against him, why would he bother with us?

Despite being attacked by the two men, Yi Zhonghai still refused to compromise.

"Don't you know who Li Huaide is? He never tells the truth."

Yan Bugui said earnestly, "Old Yi, I know you don't like Li Huaide."

To be honest, I also don't like Li Huaide.

But there are many people in this world that we can't stand.

Can we really treat them all as enemies?

These past few days, Huai Ru, Lao Liu, and I met with Li Huaide.

Do you know why?

We are investigating what happened back then.

After our investigation, we have found the evidence.

The people who reported it back then were Xu Damao and Sha Zhu.

Yi Zhonghai looked at the three people suspiciously: "Do you have any evidence?"

Liu Haizhong said, "Of course we have evidence. Li Huaide had a subordinate named Shi Junshan back then."

After Li Huaide ran away, Shi Junshan started working at Sha Zhu's company.

Sha Zhu treated him very well.

This is what Li Huaide saw the day before yesterday.

He Yuzhu's purpose was also to expose Shi Junshan.

Hatred can make a person lose their mind.

To trick Yi Zhonghai, you must first provoke him.

Qin Huairu knew Yi Zhonghai well and continued, "Zhonghai, people have no intention of harming tigers, but tigers have the intention of harming people's hearts."

Just because we don't target Sha Zhu doesn't mean Sha Zhu won't target us.

Now that we've opened a restaurant, it's affecting Sha Zhu's business.

Given his character, how could he not turn against us?

The enemy of the enemy is the friend.

Sha Zhu almost got Li Huaide arrested, and Li Huaide hated him to death.

This is our opportunity.

Let them fight like dogs, then we can reap the benefits.

Yan Bugui noticed Qin Huairu's gaze and immediately followed.

“Huai Ru is right. Our contact with Li Huaide was just stirring up trouble.”

"Once they start fighting, we can sit back and watch them fight." Yi Zhonghai was already somewhat tempted, but he was too controlling and unwilling to do things he wasn't sure of.

"Didn't you guys ever think that he and Sha Zhu might be putting on an act for us?"

Yan Bugui laughed and said, "That's why we want to cooperate with him."

Only by cooperating with him can we keep an eye on him.

Yan Bugui and his group had valid points, and Yi Zhonghai also wanted to deal with He Yuzhu, so their opposition wasn't as firm.

However, Yi Zhonghai did not completely back down, only agreeing to contact Li Huaide but not to cooperate with him.

Li Huaide called He Yuzhu: "That Yi Zhonghai is really too stubborn."

I've never seen such a stubborn person.

He Yuzhu smiled and said, "It's alright, don't worry, he won't last long."

Li Huaide said, "I'm just afraid of taking up your time."
To appear wealthy in front of them, I spend ten to twenty thousand yuan every day.

That's just too many.

He Yuzhu said nonchalantly, "Go ahead and spend it, don't worry about it."

Your younger brother here has nothing else but lots of money.

I'll have someone send you a few cards later; you can take them to those private clubs for a bit.

Li Huaide said, "It's better not to go. Those clubs are all for the children of the powerful and wealthy."

"Without connections, even with a card, I can't get by. I'm afraid I'll be exposed."

He Yuzhu said, "Don't worry, I've explained everything. The card I gave you is special."

The clubs you go to are all my buddies; they'll be there to help you.

Li Huaide was relieved: "Now that you say that, I understand."

In a couple of days, I'll take Bang Geng there. When you do, find someone influential and deliberately cause him trouble.

Then I stepped in and helped smooth things over.

Li Huaide is indeed a liar; he devised a scheme so quickly.

After hanging up the phone, He Yuzhu called Xu Damao over.

"What did you say? You want to go to a courtyard house? Don't you hate going to courtyard houses the most?"
You've never gone back since you moved out of the courtyard house so many years ago.

Why are you thinking of going back this time?

Could it be that Yi Zhonghai is dead?

After listening to He Yuzhu's idea, Xu Damao went on and on.

He Yuzhu looked at him speechlessly: "It's just going to a courtyard house, is it necessary to make such a fuss?"

"What do you think?" Xu Damao retorted, "Among us, who doesn't know that you don't like going to the courtyard house?"

He Yuzhu explained, "I didn't want to go before because I was afraid of the trouble."

The reason for this trip is to provoke Yi Zhonghai.

"How can we annoy him?" Xu Damao asked, intrigued.

Xu Damao never tires of making things difficult for the people in the courtyard, especially for Yi Zhonghai.

He Yuzhu said, "Didn't they run a nursing home? Let's go take a look."

"Just to look?" Xu Damao didn't believe He Yuzhu's words, but he couldn't figure out He Yuzhu's purpose.

He Yuzhu didn't hide anything from him: "Qin Huai is like a widow who built a courtyard house. Isn't that so inspiring? Shouldn't we go and see?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? The nursing home is clearly Yi Zhonghai's..."

Xu Damao paused, then suddenly realized: "You want to pin the credit for the nursing home on Qin Huairu."

If Yi Zhonghai finds out about this, he'll be furious, if not enraged to death.

He Yuzhu wanted to use this incident to erase Yi Zhonghai's contributions.

Yi Zhonghai, what a fine name.

When someone does a good deed, they feel compelled to broadcast it a thousand times over a loudspeaker.

He couldn't bear to give Qin Huairu such a great credit for the nursing home.

This is different from Sha Zhu's life.

Sha Zhu was tricked into opening the nursing home; anyone with eyes can see that this is a death sentence.

Yi Zhonghai willingly gave the credit to Qin Huairu.

He used the money he earned throughout his life to build this nursing home. This is a good deed.

How could Yi Zhonghai bear to give all the credit to Qin Huairu?

He also hoped that after he died, everyone would remember his kindness.

Doing this won't provoke a conflict between Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu, but it will make Yi Zhonghai hate He Yuzhu even more.

Once he harbors hatred, he'll fall for it. (End of Chapter)
