Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

With Qin Huairu's intelligence, she had already seen through the problem.

The reason she continued to follow Yi Zhonghai to the bitter end was simply because she had no other choice.

Throughout her life, Qin Huairu preferred relying on others. She never imagined that she could live a good life through her own efforts.

She believed that using her beauty to seduce men into helping her was already an effort.

Now they are in dire straits.

Qin Huairu continued to rely on the men she could depend on, as was her habit, to get through the difficult times.

The only person she could rely on was Yi Zhonghai.

Therefore, she had no choice but to follow Yi Zhonghai closely.

Bang Geng knew from Qin Huairu's expression that Tang Yanling was telling the truth.

This means that there is no hope left in following Yi Zhonghai.

"Mom, are you only satisfied when you've dragged me down to my death? We can't even make a living ourselves, why should I have to support those old bastards?"

Tang Yanling seized the opportunity to say, "Bang Geng, tell me today."

"Do you choose me and the children, so we can live together as a family, or do you choose those three old folks, to be their dutiful sons and virtuous grandsons?"

There's no need to consider that.

Bang Geng never thought he would have to fulfill his filial duties to Yi Zhonghai and the other two.

His so-called filial piety wasn't directed at people, but at the money in the hands of Yi Zhonghai and his two associates.

"I would never be a dutiful son or grandson to them."

Tang Yanling nodded in satisfaction: "In that case, let's follow the example of Yan Jiecheng and Liu Guangtian."

Qin Huairu was taken aback: "What do you mean? You want to kidnap Banggeng too?"

I disagree.

"Bang Geng is my son."

Tang Yanling said impatiently, "I didn't say he wasn't your son."

Yan Jiecheng and Liu Guangtian, who can ignore their own fathers, why should Bang Geng take care of them?

They owe them something.

They don't care, and neither do we.

"Bang Geng and I are moving out tomorrow."

"No." Qin Huairu's tone was unusually firm: "This is the Jia family's ancestral home."

If Banggeng moves out, what will happen to the house in the yard?

After a lifetime of scheming, all that's left is the thought of owning a house.

In Yi Zhonghai's view, if Banggeng were to move away, it would be considered unfilial.

Given Yi Zhonghai's personality, he would never leave the house to an unfilial person.

Qin Huairu had invested so much in Yi Zhonghai, and she absolutely wouldn't allow anyone to take their house away.

Tang Yanling looked disdainful: "What house? The house was already mortgaged to Da Dao a long time ago."

If you can't come up with the money, the house belongs to someone else.

Still dreaming of owning a house.

My dream has been shattered.

Qin Huairu's face turned deathly pale.

He kept repeating, "My house."

Tang Yanling was too lazy to pay attention to this stingy mother-in-law, and turned to look at Bang Geng: "So what's your choice?"

The hamster was actually reluctant to give up the house.

From the time he could remember, Jia Zhangshi and Qin Huairu instilled in him the idea that the courtyard house would eventually belong to him.

He had long considered the house as his own.

Even after he grew up and understood the principles, he did not give up this idea.

"Yanling, why don't we wait a bit longer? Maybe we'll find a solution in a while."

Tang Yanling was so angry that she slapped Bang Geng across the face: "What are you waiting for? The big knife will be here the day after tomorrow."

Aren't you afraid he'll drag your wife and sister into prostitution to pay off his debts?

I must have been blind to marry such a good-for-nothing as you.

I'm telling you, if you want to find someone to sell themselves to pay off your debts, send your mother.

Don't come looking for me.

Banggeng covered his slapped face, not daring to utter a single word.

Banggeng had never even considered having his wife sell herself to pay off debts. Tang Yanling still wouldn't let Banggeng off the hook: "Fine. You still choose that stepfather who cheated on you."

Since that's the case, let's get a divorce.

I'll go to the Civil Affairs Bureau tomorrow.

If you want a woman to help you pay off your debts, go find your sister.

The mere mention of incestuous relations broke Qin Huairu's defenses. She felt she had so many grievances to confide in.

You can't exactly cry to your son and daughter-in-law about how hard things are for you.

Qin Huairu could only look at Jia Dongxu's portrait with a pitiful expression, constantly begging for his forgiveness.

Banggeng's eyes reddened when he heard about the incestuous relationship: "Move. Move tomorrow."

The fact that Qin Huairu married Yi Zhonghai is the biggest pain in Bang Geng's life.

Now that Tang Yanling has laid it all out in the open without any mercy, he can't take it anymore.

Yi Zhonghai is useless now; he's just a lazy old man who wastes food.

He doesn't need to abandon his wife for Yi Zhonghai.

Qin Huai opened her mouth after hearing Bang Geng's words, but didn't know what to say.

Deep down, she really didn't want to move away.

This is her home, the home she has lived in for decades since she got married.

Qin Huairu felt that he could not stop the stick, so he got up and went out to pull Jia Zhangshi over.

When Jia Zhangshi heard that Tang Yanling wanted to encourage Bang Geng to move out, she was very dissatisfied.

"I disagree. Banggeng, this house is the culmination of your grandfather's and your father's life's work; it's our family's ancestral home."

No matter what happens, we must not move it.

If you move out, they won't be able to find their way home when they come back.

"Grandma," Banggeng said helplessly, "Can't we just not move? We borrowed so much money from Dadao, we can't possibly pay it back."

“We can’t move it.” Madam Jia’s attitude was firm: “At worst, we’ll give him the west wing.”

The temporary building wasn't mortgaged to him; it still belongs to us.

Tang Yanling said coldly, "Don't dream about it. Your temporary building is blocking the window of this room."

Do you think he won't dismantle it?
"And that temporary building, how big is it? How are our whole family supposed to live there?"

Jia Zhangshi couldn't argue with Tang Yanling and regretted letting Bang Geng marry Tang Yanling in the first place.

She still felt that a daughter-in-law like Qin Huairu was more to her liking.

Qin Huai would do anything for the Jia family, but Tang Yanling only thought of herself.

Thinking of Qin Huairu, Madam Jia felt a pang of regret. If only Qin Huairu could be thirty years younger.

That way, Qin Huairu could sell herself to pay off her debts, and presumably Qin Huairu would be willing to do so.

Qin Huairu was unaware that Jia Zhangshi had already begun plotting how to sell her for money.

She is still trying to keep the baseball player.

"You're all thinking about moving, but do you have the money? If you don't have the money, where are you going to move to?"

Tang Yanling had thought about this issue long ago.

Rent in the city center is too high for them to afford. But it's a different story in the suburbs.

Rent is low in the suburbs, and there are many factories there.

When the time comes, let Banggeng find a factory job nearby, and the money he earns will be enough for his family of three to live on.

As for Jia Zhangshi and Qin Huairu, Tang Yanling never intended to bring them along.

“Let’s go find Xiaodang and Huaihua, borrow some money from them, and rent a small courtyard to live in.”

Once everything is settled, let Banggeng go out and find a job.

“No. How can the suburbs compare to this place?” Jia Zhangshi and Qin Huairu objected simultaneously.

The thing these two women, mother and daughter-in-law, were most proud of their status as city dwellers their whole lives.

They couldn't accept the difference between living in the city and living in the suburbs.

"No, you'd better hand over the money." Tang Yanling didn't argue with them and directly threatened them with money.

Where are the two widows going to get the money?

Everyone initially thought that as long as they acquired shares in the No. 4 Cotton Mill, they could make a fortune.

In order to raise funds, the two not only mortgaged the Jia family's house, but also contributed their own savings.

The goal is to acquire more shares.

Who would have thought that such a good business could lose money? (End of Chapter)
