Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

The Jia family made progress, but the Liu and Yan families made little progress.

Liu Haizhong was alright, because Liu Guangqi agreed to live with him, which made him somewhat tempted.

The biggest problem is still with Yan Bugui.

Yan Bugui believed that the three children were asking him to move so that they could take advantage of the situation.

"You want me to move? No problem. We won't live in a rented house; you can buy one."

“That’s right. Your father and I have never lived in someone else’s house in our entire lives. We don’t live in rented houses.”

"Buy a house?" Yan Jiefang immediately became anxious upon hearing this: "Do you think houses are like cabbages? You can't just buy them whenever you want."

I live in rented apartments.

Stop dreaming.

Although Yan Jiekuang lived in his own house, the house was registered in his wife's name.

That's why he didn't mortgage the house when he was doing business.

"Mom and Dad, stop dreaming. Our family lives in a small 50-square-meter house."

If I really had money, I would buy myself a house.

Don't try to blackmail us with this.

We're here to persuade you to move because we're afraid you'll cause us trouble.

It is our duty to offer advice.

If you don't want to move, we won't force you.

It's enough that we have a clear conscience.

Anyway, my second brother and I are both planning to go to Shenzhen.

"The mountains are high and the roads are long. If anything happens to you, don't blame us brothers for not being able to come back."

Yan Jiecheng remained silent; he certainly wouldn't back down.

Yan Jiecheng knew the Yan family's rules all too well; not expressing his opinion meant he was easy to bully.

If you're easy to bully, then just wait to suffer the consequences.

"Let's not talk about liberation or exile anymore. There's a saying that goes, 'Kindness is often taken advantage of.'"

When we came to persuade our parents to move, they saw us as easy targets.

Since they're unwilling to move, then forget it.

Here's what I'm thinking: since he's willing to live with an old man in his old age...

As his children, we should respect his ideas.

Let's do our filial duty one last time and go tell Uncle that we need to take good care of our parents.

From then on, our parents' affairs had nothing to do with us.

“Okay, big brother, we’ll listen to you.” Yan Jiefang and Yan Jiekuang immediately agreed.

Yan Bugui and his wife panicked and lost their composure.

"Stop right there! What did you mean by that?"

The three people stopped and turned around.

Yan Jiecheng spoke first: "It doesn't mean anything. Isn't this just respecting the elders' wishes?"

“Yes, if you are willing to live with an old man in your old age, we, as his children, will definitely fulfill your wish.”

"That's right. We're helping you fulfill your wish. Don't thank us. It's what we should do."

After the three brothers finished speaking, they went straight out the door, ignoring Yan Bugui's attempts to stop them.

As members of the Yan family, they knew very well that when it was time to be tough, they had to be tough.

Otherwise, not even bone fragments would be left.

Yi Zhonghai remained seated in the middle of the courtyard.

After Banggeng and the others returned, he just sat there. Watching everyone else bring their children home to chat privately made him feel particularly uncomfortable.

Although he could have gone to the Jia family as their stepfather, he didn't.

Even if people don't welcome him, he can still brazenly walk in; what difference does it make?

When Yan Jiecheng and the other two saw Yi Zhonghai, they said in unison, "Uncle, my parents are willing to live with you in their old age. We'll leave their care to you in the future."

The Jia family was packing up Jia Zhangshi's things when they heard the commotion and came out of the house.

Qin Huairu sensed something was wrong, and her face showed signs of anxiety.

Although she didn't want to move out, she was actually hoping that Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui would move out as well.

Now that the two of them have moved out, she no longer has to work so hard to take care of them.

She's an old woman in her sixties, taking care of so many elderly people must be exhausting.

Moreover, with the two men gone, she could finally find the security Yi Zhonghai had hidden away.

"Yan Jiecheng, what do you three mean by this? You don't want to get involved in your parents' affairs anymore?"

Yan Jiecheng said directly, "It's not that we don't want to get involved, it's that we can't. Didn't the old man say that we should listen to our elders in everything?"

My parents want to live with my uncle in their old age, and we respect his opinion. Is there anything wrong with that?

Yi Zhonghai had no way to refute this statement.

After all, it was his saying that if an elder farts, the younger generation has to say it smells good.

For Yi Zhonghai, having Yan Bugui live with him in his old age was not a problem; the problem was that Yan Jiecheng and the others had to contribute money.

"It's you who are unwilling to be filial to your parents, don't make it sound so noble."

"As long as you provide the money, I'll have Huairu take care of them."

Yan Jiefang said, "Uncle, the issue of paying is our family's own problem."

According to the rules set by my father, we have long since repaid his kindness in raising us.

Do not give your own money to others.

That's what my dad said.

It means that you should not give your money to others.

This "others" also includes parents.

Therefore, we shouldn't give them money.

This is both following the family rules set by my father and the rules set by you for the school.

Yan Jiekuang immediately chimed in, "My second brother is right. If you want retirement money, you can discuss it with my dad."

You know what kind of person my dad is. Nobody can touch his own money.

The three brothers, one after another, used the family rules established by Yan Bugui to shut Yi Zhonghai up.

Yi Zhonghai suffered repeated setbacks and lost his remaining prestige.

The three Yan brothers were no longer so afraid of him.

While the three brothers were explaining the facts and reasoning, several members of the Liu family also arrived at the Intermediate People's Court.

Hearing the three brothers' confession, Liu Guangqi couldn't hold back any longer.

"Dad, you said that you are like Uncle San, and you will live with Uncle Yi in your old age."

"Just listen to me, move out directly."

Liu Haizhong hesitated, unsure of what to choose.

The conditions offered by Liu Guangqi were not bad, but the problem was that there were no guarantees.

Who can guarantee that after he moves out, Liu Guangqi will continue to live with him and take care of him in his old age?

Upon seeing this, Liu Guangqi decisively said, "I understand. You made the same choice as Third Uncle."

Okay, I respect your choice.

From now on, I will no longer concern myself with your affairs.

And please stop bothering me.

"Guangqi, I didn't." Liu Haizhong's face showed a pleading look.

Liu Guangqi ignored him completely and quickly walked over to Yan Jiecheng and the others.

Are you leaving or not?

Yan Jiecheng was taken aback when he realized that Liu Haizhong hadn't agreed to the conditions Liu Guangqi had offered, and he was momentarily stunned.

After realizing what was happening, he quickly said, "Let's go."

Yan Jiefang and Yan Jiekuang both said, "Let's go too."

Seeing that they had all left, Banggeng didn't want to stay either: "Wait for me, I'm leaving too."

Upon hearing this, Jia Zhangshi immediately became anxious: "Bang Geng, you promised to take me to see the parasol trees."

Xiao Dang, Huaihua, hurry up and get my things out. I'm going with your brother.

Several young men called for them to leave, but Yi Zhonghai didn't react. He already knew these people were unfilial, and there was no need to try to keep them.

But Jia Zhangshi's departure frightened him.

Yi Zhonghai quickly asked, "Huai Ru, what's going on?"

Qin Huai said expressionlessly, "My mom misses Wutong and wants to go see her with Banggeng."

When Jia Zhangshi was about to leave, she immediately shattered Liu Haizhong's insistence: "Guangqi, don't go, I'll move too."

Liu Guangqi's eyes lit up with joy, and he stopped in his tracks.

Yi Zhonghai panicked.

If they all leave, his persistence will only be a joke.

Without bangs, Yan Bugui probably wouldn't be able to pull it off either.

"Old Liu, what are you doing?" (End of Chapter)
