Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

The two Yan brothers' threat to leave Beijing did not sway Yan Bugui.

However, Bang Geng also tried to persuade Qin Huairu to move, which Yan Bugui couldn't stand.

Even if Yan's sons stayed in Beijing, it's not certain they would be filial.

Yan Bugui knew that he would still have to rely on Qin Huairu for the future. His three sons were only there as a safety net, not as a source of hope.

"You guys think Banggeng is also here to persuade Qin Huairu to move?"

"Yeah, otherwise what do you think Banggeng would come back for? To be a dutiful son and grandson to an old man?" Yan Jiefang said disdainfully.

The three aunts said, "Impossible. Jia Zhangshi and Qin Huairu simply can't bear to part with the courtyard house."

Yan Jiecheng retorted, "What time is it? You're still thinking about houses?"
Do you think those guys with big knives are pushovers?

"Want to keep the house? Sure, but you'll have to pay back the money you owe Da Dao first."

The three women still harbored a glimmer of hope: "I don't believe that Big Knife would dare to do anything to us."

Don't forget, Jie Di's husband is a policeman.

"Stop joking," Yan Jiekuang said. "Do you really think Jie Di is happy to take care of you?"

Anyway, we've said everything we needed to say.

If you're willing to move, then move. If you're not, then forget it.

We can't afford to offend those people with big knives.

My second brother and I went to Shenzhen after that, and we're never coming back.

Yan Jiecheng added, "I'll go back and discuss it with Hao Min. If it really doesn't work out, we'll go to another place."

With all three sons wanting to run away, the third aunt was starting to panic. She turned to Yan Bugui, hoping he could come up with a solution.

Yan Bugui was also uncertain and didn't want to move, because moving would mean losing everything.

But not moving and just continuing to endure it isn't a solution either.

The neighbors all avoided them, leaving only a few of them huddled together.

When you're healthy and not in pain, you can manage, but if an accident happens, it's all over.

"I'll go ask Lao Yi."

Yan Jiefang stopped him: "You'd better not go now. Bang Geng is discussing moving with Qin Huairu."

If you go and cause trouble, do you think Bang Geng will hate you?

If Bang Geng hates you, will Qin Huairu hate you too?

Yan Bugui froze on the spot, not daring to persist.

People who like to scheme tend to overthink, and sometimes they end up scaring themselves.

On the Jia family's side, Bang Geng directly confronted Jia Zhangshi and Qin Huairu.

Are you moving or not?

Qin Huairu was reluctant to move. She had sacrificed too much to obtain Yi Zhonghai's assets and house.

Seeing that Yi Zhonghai was about to die, how could she bear to give up?

Just like Yi Zhonghai's efforts to cultivate the Jia family for old age, so much has been invested, the sunk costs are too high, and he is reluctant to give up halfway.

"Bang Geng, don't worry. Your grandmother and I are staying here for Yi Zhonghai's family fortune."

Banggeng said angrily, "Family property, family property, all you know is family property."

You've been married to Yi Zhonghai for so many years, don't you know how much wealth he has?
He's penniless now, living off his monthly pension from the steel mill.

The steel rolling mill is not doing well, and the factory is going to be relocated. His pension is about to be depleted.

What else does he have?

Qin Huairu was a gambler at this point, refusing to admit that he had lost.

"What do you know? The deaf old lady was so rich, he must have some of the family property she left behind."

Except for a jade bracelet, which he gave to Jin Qihao, all the other items were kept hidden by him.

If we move away, we won't get anything at all.

"If you don't believe me, ask your grandma."

Jia Zhangshi didn't have the same gambling spirit as Qin Huairu, but she was also reluctant to give up so easily.

"Bang Geng, you're too young to know, but the deaf old lady used to be a rich person."

Her family fortune is definitely in Yi Zhonghai's hands.

Banggeng had followed Jia Zhangshi since he was a child and trusted her completely, so he began to waver. Xiao Huaihua said, "We can't just wait like this. Mom, you don't know, we can't even find odd jobs, we have no income at all."

If Yi Zhonghai has money, he should take it out quickly.

"If he doesn't bring it out soon, we'll all starve to death."

Banggeng suddenly thought of Tang Yanling and chimed in, "That's right. I can't earn a single penny right now, and Yanling and Wutong are starving."

If he has money, he shouldn't hide it; he should just hand it over.

Qin Huai said with difficulty, "Don't worry, I'll go and try to persuade him."

Xiao Dang suddenly said, "Mom, you'd better hurry. Liu Guangqi and Yan Jiecheng have already found a house in advance."

If they all move away, you and Yi Zhonghai will be the only ones left in the courtyard.

"I...I understand." Qin Huairu hesitated for a moment, then agreed immediately.

Several people knew that it would be very difficult to get Yi Zhonghai and his group to move.

They didn't expect to get these people to agree on the first try.

After saying everything they needed to say, they all left, agreeing to come back again tomorrow.

After Bang Geng and the others left, Yi Zhonghai gathered them together and asked them why they had come.

None of them hid anything and directly explained the reason.

Upon hearing this, Yi Zhonghai was furious: "How could they say that?"

Did you know that the Siheyuan (courtyard house) is everyone's ancestral home?

Only a spendthrift would think of selling their ancestral home.

Liu Haizhong said, "Why are you yelling at us?"

Do you know that those people with the big knife are causing trouble for the child every day, to the point that the child lost his job?

Yi Zhonghai said with dissatisfaction, "If they can't protect them, then they deserve it."

You must stand firm in your stance and not speak up for those unfilial children.

The anger in his bangs was starting to show. No matter how unfilial his son was, he was still his own son.

If he doesn't care and ignore it, will his son be able to take care of him in the future?
After he dies, can we still pay our respects to him?
"What unfilial son? He's not your son after all."

Those words were very hurtful.

Everyone knows Yi Zhonghai has no son.

Yi Zhonghai's eyes reddened with anger. He stood up and glared fiercely at Liu Haizhong.

Liu Haizhong had never been afraid of Yi Zhonghai, and glared back directly.

"What do you want to do? If it weren't for your scheming with the deaf old lady, would my family be in this state?"

Guangqi said that he didn't dare to persuade me because he was afraid of the deaf old lady and you.

"You're the reason my son is so unfilial."

"What did you say?" Yi Zhonghai shouted angrily, "You beat your son and made him unfilial, and you still blame me."

I've advised you so many times, did you listen?

"Is that advice? You're just adding fuel to the fire."

Liu Guangqi was a smart man and knew that the biggest obstacle to Liu Haizhong's move was Yi Zhonghai.

He stayed at home and talked to Liu Haizhong about the past, blaming Yi Zhonghai for the reasons why he and his two younger brothers were unfilial.

Now, his words had an effect, directly causing Liu Haizhong and Yi Zhonghai to start arguing.

Seeing that things were not going well, Yan Bugui quickly stood up and advised, "You all say something. Why bring up things from the past?"

Lao Yi, don't blame Lao Liu.

Jie Cheng and a few others just told me the same thing. Da Dao sent men to follow them, making it impossible for them to find any work.

Old Liu's grandson was also affected. He was very worried.

Old Liu, it's a fact that you like to hit children. You can't blame us for that.

He's basically blaming both sides equally.

Such persuasion could not satisfy Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong.

Especially Yi Zhonghai, the more down on his luck he became, the stronger his desire for control became.

He would not tolerate any action that went against his will. (End of Chapter)
