Qin Huairu stayed at Banggeng's house last night, sharing a bed with Jia Zhangshi.

After breakfast, urged by Tang Yanling, he followed Banggeng back to the courtyard house to move.

Yan Bugui and his wife didn't cook breakfast; they ate out.

Only Yi Zhonghai and Li Yongqiang remained in the courtyard.

Li Yongqiang lived in a courtyard house and received a meal allowance. He ate out for almost all three meals a day and did not respond to Yi Zhonghai.

Yi Zhonghai was left alone. He couldn't cook and couldn't afford to buy food, so he went hungry.

When Yi Zhonghai saw Qin Huairu and Bang Geng enter, his eyes were filled with excitement.

However, the taste changed when you opened it.

He did indeed expect the Jia family to support him in his old age, but he believed that the Jia family owed him everything.

"Huai Ru, where did you go?"

Upon hearing Yi Zhonghai's unfriendly tone, Bang Geng immediately became very dissatisfied.

"Where my mom goes is none of your business."

Sensing the hostile tone of Bang Geng, Yi Zhonghai's face immediately turned ashen.

"Hey, where's your manners? Who gave you permission to talk to your elders like that?"

You've forgotten everything I taught you.

Bang Geng spat and said, "Whose elder are you? Shameless."

It's one thing for others to deny the relationship with their elders, but Bang Geng actually dared to deny it.

An expression of disbelief appeared on Yi Zhonghai's face.

He turned to look at Qin Huairu, a hint of hope in his eyes: "Huairu, just watch him talk to me like that."

Qin Huairu slowly straightened her hair, her tone filled with indifference.

“Zhonghai, I’m sorry. My mom wants me to move in there.”

Jia Zhangshi, the professional scapegoat, has arrived.

This statement shocked everyone even more than what Bang Geng had just said.

Yi Zhonghai couldn't believe it and excitedly grabbed Qin Huairu's arms with both hands.

"What did you say? Say it again."

Bang Geng yanked Yi Zhonghai away: "Get your filthy hands off us. We're here today to move."

Yi Zhonghai completely ignored Bang Geng. After regaining his balance, he rushed to Qin Huairu again and grabbed her arm.

"Tell me, what Bang Geng said isn't true."

Qin Huairu is Yi Zhonghai's retirement partner, while Bang Geng is at best a money-making tool.

Yi Zhonghai didn't care about Bang Geng's attitude, but he cared a lot about Qin Huairu's attitude.

He had invested so much in Qin Huairu and couldn't accept her betrayal.

Qin Huairu's hypocritical nature erupted, and he simply stood there crying, unwilling to express his opinion.

Bang Geng couldn't stand it anymore and pulled Yi Zhonghai away again: "I told you, we're here to move."

Yi Zhonghai stared intently at Qin Huairu, and seeing that she remained silent, he already understood what was going on.

Qin Huairu sees him as useless, dislikes him, and doesn't want to serve him anymore.

Although he had been preparing for this day, he still couldn't accept the outcome.

Yi Zhonghai remembered all the precautions he had taken and wanted to find someone to stand up for him.

But after looking around, he couldn't find a single person.

The only remaining old buddy, Yan Bugui, has disappeared without a trace.

Yi Zhonghai cursed Yan Bugui in his heart for being useless, and then used the second backup plan.

He knew Qin Huairu was greedy for money, and he also knew that Qin Huairu was with him for the family fortune in his hands.

For so many years, he had never revealed the truth to Qin Huairu, all in preparation for this day.

"Huai Ru, you don't want my and the old lady's inheritance anymore."

Upon hearing the word "inheritance," Qin Huairu, who had been pretending to cry, stopped.

"Zhonghai, don't blame me, I didn't want to either. My mother-in-law forced me, and Yanling forced me into this mess."

Both Bang Geng and I were forced into it.

They said, "We've come to this point, and you still won't part with your money. It means you don't care about us."

They forced me to move with Bang Geng.

If we don't move, they won't recognize us.

I cannot be disrespectful to my mother-in-law.

Bang Geng was about to say something when Qin Huairu stopped him. Qin Huairu continued, "Zhonghai, if you have money, take it out. Whether it's to pay off Da Dao's debt or for us to move out, it's fine."

I'll do whatever you say.

We can't let things continue like this, no matter what.

Did you know that Banggeng can't find a job now? His family has to go to the vegetable market and pick up rotten vegetable leaves that others don't want to eat.

The sycamore trees have all starved to the point of becoming as thin as bamboo poles.

I have to think about them too.

Yi Zhonghai tried to bribe Qin Huairu with money, but Qin Huairu countered by creating difficulties for him.

She's already in such dire straits, and Yi Zhonghai has money in his hands but isn't giving it to her; that's Yi Zhonghai's fault.

If Yi Zhonghai didn't have any money, then she couldn't be blamed even more.

Yi Zhonghai was speechless for a moment, not expecting Qin Huairu to do such a thing.

Bang Geng's eyes gleamed with greed: "Dad Yi, don't blame me, I was forced to the brink of despair."

I'm currently renting an apartment, and the rent is due soon.

If I can't pay the rent, I'll be kicked out by the landlord.

If you have money, take it out quickly, and let's get through this together.

I will definitely take good care of you.

Yi Zhonghai knew that Bang Geng wasn't telling the truth and wouldn't believe him at all.

He would never let Qin Huairu know how much money he had until he died.

"Since you have nowhere to live, you can move back. You can stay at your place again."

Don't worry, as long as we don't move, Sha Zhu won't dare to kick us out.

Banggeng got annoyed when he saw that Yi Zhonghai was being unreasonable: "Enough. Dad Yi, you tell me every day that one shouldn't be too selfish."

how about you?
Yes.

Because you're older, no one will dare to do anything to you.

But have you ever thought about me?

If you stay here for a day, Da Dao will charge you interest for that day.

Those interest rates will keep rising.

What will happen to me and Wutong after you die?
Even if you sell us, we still can't pay you back.

Also, if you don't pay back your debts, we won't be able to find jobs.

What will we eat and drink?
At this point, if you still don't hand over the money, are you trying to drag us down with you?
You yourself lived to be over eighty, what about us?

Yi Zhonghai wouldn't listen to Bang Geng at all, and Bang Geng wouldn't listen to Yi Zhonghai either. Qin Huairu didn't say anything either, so they were at a stalemate.

Da Dao led his men to the courtyard: "Bang Geng, you brat, you said you wanted to transfer the property certificate to me."

I waited at the housing authority for so long, why didn't you go there?

Are you trying to mess with me?

Banggeng chickened out at the sight of Da Dao: "Brother Da Dao, I didn't. I just brought my mom to get the property certificate, but Yi Zhonghai stopped us."

I'll go with you right now.

"Mom, hurry up and take it!"

Da Dao Kan Bang Geng genuinely wanted to transfer ownership, so no further action was taken.

"You're smart enough to know what's good for you. Let me tell you, don't listen to everything Yi Zhonghai says."

He has a few more days to live.

It doesn't matter if he stays here; once he dies, all the debts will fall on your shoulders, son.

"Is it really necessary for you, as a stepson, to take on so much debt for him?"

Qin Huairu came out of the house with the Jia family's property certificate in her hand.

Yi Zhonghai knew this was the last chance: "Huai Ru, don't make a mistake."

Once the house is transferred to your name, you can never get it back.

A deep reluctance appeared in Qin Huairu's eyes. As a Pixiu, she truly couldn't bear to give away her possessions.

Da Dao glared at Yi Zhonghai and said, "You old bastard, shut up."

Bang Geng, you'd better think this through.

If I move out today, I can waive the interest.

If you don't move, then we'll have to do some serious calculations.

Banggeng hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Mom, let's go to the housing management bureau to transfer the property. After that, we'll move." (End of Chapter)
