Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

Yi Zhonghai is a very sensitive person, especially when it comes to matters of elderly care.

Therefore, living with Yi Zhonghai is particularly stressful.

You cannot show even the slightest sign of filial impiety, not even as a joke.

If Yi Zhonghai catches you, you'll get a scolding too.

Even the Jia family cannot violate Yi Zhonghai's taboo.

The Jia family can call Yi Zhonghai childless, but they cannot say he is unfilial.

At most, if you insult someone who has no descendants, you'll just get a private lesson from Yi Zhonghai.

If he said it was unfilial, Yi Zhonghai wouldn't hold back so easily.

After moving out, the Jia family didn't live a wealthy life, but they were also free from financial pressure.

Jia Zhangshi was absolutely unwilling to live with Yi Zhonghai.

When Qin Huairu returned, Jia Zhangshi turned hostile: "If you want to live with Yi Zhonghai, then leave and don't stay in our house."

Qin Huairu laughed: "Mom, what are you saying? I'm not stupid, why would I make trouble for myself by serving them?"

"Then what did you mean just now? Why did you ask Yi Zhonghai to go find a big house?" Jia Zhangshi asked.

Qin Huairu said with a hint of smugness, "I was just trying to appease him. The housing prices around here are cheap."

But those were all bad houses like that.

As he said, where can you find a house that can accommodate more than a dozen people?

Even if they were available, they wouldn't be cheap.

Do you think he'd be willing to spend the money to rent a place like that?

If he doesn't pay, then he'll force Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui to pay.

Do you think they'll take the money?

Jia Zhangshi said disdainfully, "Unless the sun rises in the west, he has no ability to get Yan Bugui to pay."

Qin Huairu nodded: "That's right. Since no one is willing to pay, why should I object and offend them?"

After thinking about it, Jia Zhangshi realized that Qin Huairu was right, so she stopped complaining.

“You’re smart enough to think this through. Let me tell you, our family has only had a few good days. Don’t be foolish and agree to take care of Yi Zhonghai in his old age.”

"understood."

Qin Huai thought to herself, she wasn't being shameless; she wouldn't take care of someone else's old age for no reason.

Yi Zhonghai was unaware of all this and excitedly returned to Liu Haizhong's house.

Liu Haizhong was complaining to Yan Bugui: "Renting a house is not like buying vegetables, where you can keep haggling down the price."

Now it's all right, isn't it?

They made it clear that even if the house is empty, they won't rent it to you.

Yan Bugui looked embarrassed: "I just thought the customs here were the same as ours."

Who would have thought they'd offer a fixed price, refusing to budge an inch?

"You..."

Having lived with Yan Bugui for so many years, how could Liu Haizhong not know Yan Bugui's temper?

"What do we do now? You've offended several people who rent near my house."

After Yi Zhonghai came in and learned about the situation, he immediately said, "This is easy to handle."

I just discussed it with Huairu.

Let's rent a big courtyard together and continue living together as neighbors.

What do you think?

Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui exchanged a glance and remained silent.

Living with the Jia family has its advantages and disadvantages.

The advantage is that, for the sake of face, Qin Huairu will grit his teeth and take care of them even if he is unwilling.

The downsides are also significant.

They offended He Yuzhu, although the main reason was that He Yuzhu did not respect them.

However, the Jia family's disturbances also accounted for a large proportion of the incidents.

Moreover, neither of their children wanted them to have anything to do with the Jia family.

The two were still clinging to the hope that the child might change his mind.

It's no wonder they were naive.

They were also thinking of themselves.

Qin Huairuo takes care of them only because of Yi Zhonghai.

That's not called providing for one's parents; that's called living under someone else's roof.

Think of them, as the stewards of the courtyard houses, how prestigious that must have been.

When did they start having to live by other people's approval?

They were unwilling to let the Jia family support them in their old age, even if there was only the slightest possibility.

Yi Zhonghai was somewhat displeased to see that the two remained silent. He was doing all this for their sake. If it weren't for his sake, why would Qin Huairu bother serving them?

"What does it mean that none of you are saying anything? Are you unwilling to let Huai Ru support you in your old age? Are you still counting on your own children?"

"No."

"No."

They had a glimmer of hope, but neither of them dared to speak of it.

The current situation is that the children have made it very clear that they are unwilling to take care of them.

They have no right to say they expect their children to support them in their old age.

Yi Zhonghai, unaware of their thoughts, spoke without any politeness.

Why can't you see the truth?

Old Liu, you...

Guangqi said it so well in the courtyard house, that he wanted to come and live with you two.

The results of it?
He stayed at home for a few days.

And you, Lao Yan.

Liu Guangqi at least helped Lao Liu move and settle in.

They just drop off a little money and then forget about everything else.

Yan Bugui said awkwardly, "Look at what you're saying, we didn't say we disagreed."

You keep saying you want to live together, but have you found a place yet?

Yi Zhonghai was too lazy to argue with them: "I've already made up my mind. Are you willing or not?"

If you're not willing, I won't care anymore.

I'm moving directly to Huairu's place. From now on, don't bother me with anything.

Liu Haizhong asked curiously, "Would your sister-in-law agree to let you move in?"

Yi Zhonghai said confidently, "I am Qin Huairu's husband and Banggeng's father."

Can she refuse?

At this moment, Yi Zhonghai is extremely grateful that he married Qin Huairu.

With the marriage certificate, Qin Huairu wouldn't be able to shake him off.

Liu Haizhong still had many questions he wanted to ask, but seeing Yi Zhonghai's attitude, he swallowed them all.

"What about the rent? Who will pay it?"

On the way, Yi Zhonghai had already thought about this problem.

They do have some money, but it's barely enough to cover their daily living expenses, let alone rent.

To rent a house, you have to pool your money together.

When the topic of pooling money came up, the two men with bangs lost interest.

Every time money was raised, the Jia family would not contribute a single penny.

When they have money, they can be indifferent.

The problem now is that they don't have the money and don't want the Jia family to benefit from their situation.

"Old Yi, it's not that we're unwilling, I just really don't have the money."

Guangtian and Guangfu, those two bastards, are out of town and I can't get in touch with them.

Guangqi paid my rent and then stopped caring. Where am I supposed to get the money to rent a place?

Yi Zhonghai knew that what Liu Haizhong said was true.

But what about the facts?
In the face of his grand plan for retirement, we can set aside the facts.

"Old Liu, you can talk to Guangqi. He himself is unwilling to take care of the child, so why can't he let others take care of him?"

Remembering Liu Guangqi's warning, Liu Haizhong became hesitant to speak.

Before Liu Guangqi left, he specifically told him not to get involved in Yi Zhonghai's affairs.

Once he gets involved, we won't bother him anymore.

What if he doesn't agree?

"He's your son, why shouldn't you agree? There are no bad elders, only inconsiderate juniors."

You should learn from Lao Yan and report them to the police station.

Liu Haizhong couldn't bear to part with it, so he immediately fell silent.

Yan Bugui stepped in to help, saying, "Old Yi, don't worry. We haven't even found a house yet. It's not appropriate for you to ask Old Liu to ask Guangqi for money."

"I think we can talk about rent once we've found a place."

Although Yi Zhonghai wanted to make a decision immediately, he knew that was impossible, so he chose to follow Yan Bugui's advice.

"After we finish eating, let's take a walk around the neighborhood and see if there are any suitable houses."

If you find a suitable one, I hope you won't back down. (End of Chapter)
