Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

The gathering ended on a sour note.

Qin Huairu stayed behind, intending to persuade Yi Zhonghai.

“Zhonghai, I don’t think we can go on like this. We have to find a way to solve the current problems.”

Yi Zhonghai certainly knew this, but the problem was that he really had no choice.

He had tried every possible method, but none of them would succeed.

"You're joining them in pressuring me. If I had a way, wouldn't I do it?"

Qin Huairu immediately burst into tears, feeling wronged: "How could you think of me like that? In all these years, have I ever been disrespectful to you in the slightest?"

If you don't believe me, then forget it. I'll go live with Banggeng.

Yi Zhonghai looked panicked and quickly stopped Qin Huairu.

Retirement requires money, but even more so, it requires people.

With no money left, all that's left is Qin Huairu.

How could Yi Zhonghai bear to let Qin Huairu leave?

"That's not what I meant. I was angry at Sha Zhu. He's the most heartless and ruthless person I've ever met."

I've long forgotten those little grudges from the past.

He actually remembered it.

Qin Huairu harbored just as much resentment towards He Yuzhu as she did towards Yi Zhonghai.

She hinted to He Yuzhu countless times that she would do anything for him as long as he was willing to help her.

But He Yuzhu refused to agree, forcing her to compromise and suffer with Yi Zhonghai.

Now she's old and faded, and can't do anything anymore.

"Don't be angry. The problem now is how to solve the housing issue."

I was too embarrassed to say it earlier.

I was just lecturing Bang Geng, telling him he should come back and see you, his father.

Kebang Geng and his three friends came back and complained to me.

They are now so forced that they can't find work and can't earn a penny.

Sorry to come back.

Wutong was so forced to stop wanting to go to school.

China Overseas can't go on like this.

If this continues, we won't be able to hold on, and neither will the children.

Yi Zhonghai looked distressed and cursed through gritted teeth, "That damned idiot Zhu. It's all his fault."

Qin Huai looked at Yi Zhonghai with dissatisfaction. What's the use of just shirking responsibility when faced with problems?

She also suspected that Yi Zhonghai did it on purpose.

Qin Huairu decided to confront Yi Zhonghai: "Sha Zhu is a scoundrel, we all know that."

No matter how much you curse here, it won't do any good.

Tell me, what should we do?

The little money we have won't last more than a few days.

Yi Zhonghai said helplessly, "What can I do? If I had a solution, I would have solved it long ago."

Qin Huai pressed further: "What about the deaf old lady's inheritance? Do you still have any?"
If you have any, take it out and we'll redeem the house.

Even if it's not all of them, just redeeming the few rooms we're living in would be fine.

Yi Zhonghai finally understood that Qin Huairu had come to him to ask for the deaf old lady's inheritance.

But he felt wronged.

The deaf old lady didn't leave him much of an inheritance at all.

All the things that were left behind have been used up.

"Huai Ru, it's not that I'm unwilling to give. I've used up everything the old lady left me."

"You do the math yourself; see how much money I've spent on your family over the years."

Upon hearing this devastating news, Qin Huairu's face first turned pale, then turned to doubt.

She simply couldn't accept the outcome of getting nothing.

"Really, that's all?"

"There really aren't any left."

Yi Zhonghai knew that if he admitted to this, he would lose one of his means of controlling Qin Huairu.

You can't deny it, but you can't deny it either.

If he continues to stall, he will eventually be unable to come up with the money, which will only offend more people.

Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui will not let him off easily either.

Qin Huai stared at Yi Zhonghai, unable to discern the truth in his words. Having no other option, she had to give up: "Then what do you suggest we do? How can we live like this?"

Yi Zhonghai stubbornly said, "We'll stay here. You can also call Banggeng back."

I don't believe that Sha Zhu would dare to force us.

"At worst, I'll just die to show him."

Qin Huai left with a worried expression.

She had already used the tactic of threatening suicide. At that time, He Yuzhu was still living in the courtyard house.

So what?
He Yuzhu didn't care at all.

The next day, Banggeng and his group came to the courtyard house again.

They each went home and tried to persuade their parents.

Bang Geng stared at Qin Huairu: "You said you were going to ask about Yi Zhonghai's estate, how did it go?"

Qin Huai sighed, not daring to hide anything, and recounted the conversation directly.

Bang Geng slammed his fist on the table in anger: "That damned hypocrite, he never tells a word of truth."

"Mom, tell me now, what's your choice? Will you continue living with him?"

After leaving Yi Zhonghai's home, Qin Huairu's heart was filled with resentment.

She simply couldn't accept the outcome of getting nothing. So she recalled everything Yi Zhonghai had told her.

In the end, she still felt that Yi Zhonghai was not telling the truth and that he must have some inheritance that he had not revealed.

"You said yourself that he's a hypocrite and never tells the truth. Do you think he might not have a backup plan?"

Bang Geng looked at Qin Huairu incredulously: "Then what do you mean? He's almost been kicked out of his house, why is he still reluctant to take it out?"

Qin Huai clenched his fist to encourage himself.

"He's gambling. We all know that on the surface, he's using a big knife to drive us away."

In reality, He Yuzhu was standing behind him.

He bet He Yuzhu wouldn't dare use force against him and wanted to maintain the stalemate.

Xiao Dang said, "Mom, don't be confused. This is completely useless."

Don't you know how hard-hearted He Yuzhu is?

When I was little, I would ask him for candy, but he would never give me any.

He practically wants us dead.

Stop dreaming.

The once wavering Bang Geng became resolute again. He was older and knew more.

Those three years were so hard. He cried loudly in his room. He Yuzhu's family cooked meat, but they wouldn't even give him a sip of soup.

The family tried countless methods to gain an advantage over He Yuzhu, and were beaten countless times.

The results of it?
Besides providing some amusement for others, they gained nothing.

How likely is it that Yi Zhonghai can force He Yuzhu out?

"Xiao Dang is right. Mom, don't be delusional. Sha Zhu is incapable of being soft-hearted."

He has plenty of money; he can have any house he wants.

Do you think he would bow down to that old, childless man Yi Zhonghai for a courtyard house?

Xiao Huaihua also tried to persuade Qin Huairu to give up.

Little did they know that no matter what they said, they couldn't persuade Qin Huairu.

Seizing Yi Zhonghai's assets for herself has become Qin Huairu's obsession.

It's impossible to get Qin Huairu to give up just by talking.

There was another thing that Qin Huairu didn't tell anyone.

That was when she dreamed that He Yuzhu personally transferred all the houses in the courtyard to her name.

Seeing that Qin Huai was completely unresponsive, Bang Geng was furious.

"This won't work, that won't work, what exactly do you want to do?"

Since you don't want to move, then you can stay in the courtyard house and keep that old geezer Yi Zhonghai company.

I'll buy a train ticket to Guangzhou in a couple of days. I'm not going to worry about you anymore.

Upon hearing this, Jia Zhangshi became anxious: "Banggeng, don't ignore this! Grandma is counting on you to take care of her in her old age and see her off in her final days."

Your mother doesn't want to move out, but your grandmother does.

I'll pack my things and come with you.

Bang Geng was about to say something more when Xiao Dang stopped him.

The current situation is that we'll leave as many as we can. (End of Chapter)
