Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

When news of his serious illness arrived, Xu Damao's plans had to be put on hold.

"They managed to save him?"

He Yuzhu had no complaints about this.

The saying "Evil deeds last for a thousand years" has been embodied in the lives of several beasts.

Three old men who had done bad things their whole lives all lived to be over ninety.

Yi Zhonghai lived to be 95 years old; it's impossible for him to die so easily.

It's good to survive.

Only by surviving can Yi Zhonghai experience what it's like to be kicked out of his home.

"I reckon you won't need it for your next plan."

"Why? He's fine, isn't he? I can just send someone over once he's recovered, right?"

He Yuzhu said, "Do you think Yan Bugui would still dare to stay in the courtyard with Yi Zhonghai after such a big incident?"
That old guy always rushes in when there's an advantage, but runs away faster than anyone else when there isn't.

He Yuzhu was not wrong.

Even while Yi Zhonghai was still receiving treatment, Yan Bugui was already considering hiding.

The thought intensified when the doctor asked him to pay.

"Old woman, do you think it's still necessary for us to continue living here?"

As expected of his first wife, the Third Aunt's thoughts were similar to Yan Bugui's.

"I think we should move. We were lucky to find out in time this time. But who knows what might happen next time."

We're not moving; the several families involved are practically killing us with hatred.

"If we do it again next time... they probably won't care."

Yan Bugui knew perfectly well that it wasn't just that he might not care, it was that he definitely wouldn't care.

"We're moving, what will happen to Lao Yi?"

"Isn't there Qin Huairu? He and Qin Huairu are husband and wife, and he has done a great service to the Jia family."

"From both a moral and legal standpoint, the Jia family should take care of him." The third aunt thought of Qin Huairu.

Yan Bugui quickly made a decision: "You go and look after Lao Yi, I'll go find Qin Huairu."

The two went their separate ways, and the three women arrived at the clinic just as Yi Zhonghai regained consciousness.

Where is Lao Yan?

When the third aunt saw that Yi Zhonghai had woken up, she quickly told him.

“He went to see Qin Huairu. You two are husband and wife, and since you are sick, she should come and visit you.”

These words struck a chord with Yi Zhonghai.

The first thing he thought of when he woke up was Qin Huairu. When he opened his eyes and didn't see Qin Huairu, he was extremely disappointed.

Fortunately, the fact that Qin Huairu lived far away comforted Yi Zhonghai, preventing him from losing hope.

For Yan Bugui, being able to go see Qin Huairu was actually not a bad thing.

He believed that if Qin Huairu knew he was sick, she would rush over to take care of him without hesitation.

Qin Huairu's reaction was different from what he expected. Upon hearing that Yi Zhonghai was ill, Qin Huairu's expression remained calm, and she didn't even ask how the illness was.

Jia Zhangshi said with dissatisfaction, "He's sick, what are you doing here?"
Given our family's situation, we don't have the money to pay for his medical expenses.

He wanted someone to be the sucker, so he went to find Sha Zhu and Xu Damao.

They are rich people.

Even a single hair plucked from it is thicker than our waists.

Yan Bugui thought to himself, he did want to find He Yuzhu, but he also needed to be able to see him.

You can even see the country's president on television.

He Yuzhu, however, received no information whatsoever.

"Sister-in-law, Lao Yi is, after all, Huairu's husband. He's injured, shouldn't Huairu and Banggeng go and visit him?"

"If they don't go, what will others think of your family?"

"Others? Who are they?" Jia Zhangshi said nonchalantly.

This isn't a traditional courtyard house, and they don't know any of their neighbors outside.

Why should I be afraid of what others might say?

Yan Bugui wanted to talk about the neighbors in the courtyard, but then he realized that they had all left, and he felt a little discouraged.

Not daring to confront Jia Zhangshi directly, he set his sights on persuading Qin Huairu.

"You and Lao Yi are married. If your family doesn't take responsibility, that won't do." Qin Huairu wished Yi Zhonghai would die sooner, but didn't want to show it.

"Old Yan, I didn't say I wouldn't take care of it. But look at my whole family here."

Banggeng and Yanling both went to Shunyi to find work. My mother-in-law and I are left at home to take care of Wutong.

Wutong needs to go to school, and my mother-in-law isn't feeling well, so I can't leave.

To appease Qin Huairu, Jia Zhangshi deliberately coughed a few times, indicating that she was really unwell.

Qin Huairu said, "You've seen it too. I'm leaving now. What if my mother-in-law... I'd feel so sorry for Dongxu."

When Dongxu was leaving, he grabbed my hand and begged me to take good care of my mother-in-law.

I swore to him that no matter what happened, I would never let my mother-in-law suffer any injustice.

I'll leave the Zhonghai area to you and Lao Liu.

I'll get you some eggs; take them back and give him something to eat to help him recover.

Qin Huairu got up, took six eggs, put them in a lunchbox, and handed them to Yan Bugui.

Yan Bugui looked at the eggs in the lunchbox, his face turning somewhat grim.

This is both a lament for Yi Zhonghai's misfortune and a reflection on one's own bad luck.

If Qin Huai is unwilling to deal with Yi Zhonghai, then he will have to be the one who gets taken advantage of.

Why.

After glancing at Qin Huairu, who was always about to cry, and Jia Zhangshi, who was always about to curse, Yan Bugui dared not say anything.

He took a lunchbox, left the Jia family, and decided to hand the problem over to Yi Zhonghai.

Before heading back, he stopped by Liu Haizhong's house and told him the news.

Sir, we may not share the good times, but we will definitely share the bad times.

Yi Zhonghai has no one to take care of him, so why should he bear the burden alone?

"Old Liu, come with me quickly. Old Yi had a fever last night and is sick."

Her bangs weren't very wavy, and she immediately asked with concern.

"How is he now? Has he been taken to the hospital? Which hospital is he in?"

Yan Bugui did not hide these things and even told Qin Huairu what she had said.

Liu Haizhong said, "The deaf old lady said long ago that the Jia family is unreliable."

I've argued with Lao Yi about this many times.

Old Yi, on the other hand, was like a man possessed, insisting on being associated with the Jia family.

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

He devoted his entire life's work to the Jia family, but in the end, the Jia family abandoned him.

Yan Bugui thought to himself, "Why bother with these hindsight comments now?"

Qin Huairu was so devoted to taking care of everyone back then.

Who could have imagined that Qin Huairu would turn out like this?

"That's Lao Yi's decision, so don't say anything more. Let's go back together and take care of Lao Yi."

Unable to stand by and watch someone die, Liu Haizhong followed Yan Bugui back to Nanluoguxiang.

Outside the clinic, Yan Bugui specifically instructed Liu Haizhong: "Old Yi is not in good health, so don't say anything carelessly."

If we really anger him to death, that would be a real problem.

"I know. What are you nagging about?" Liu Haizhong pushed Yan Bugui aside impatiently and walked into the clinic.

Yan Bugui carefully protected the eggs and followed behind him inside.

"Old Yi, how are you?" Liu Haizhong asked with concern.

Yi Zhonghai was quite pleased to see Liu Haizhong return. All the work he had done to help Liu Haizhong plan his retirement hadn't been in vain.

Why are you back?

"Old Yan told me you were hospitalized, so I came back with him," Liu Haizhong explained.

Upon hearing that he had returned with Yan Bugui, Yi Zhonghai's eyes turned towards the door.

He knew that Yan Bugui had gone there to find Qin Huairu.

He had been waiting for Qin Huairu to come back and take care of him.

He saw Yan Bugui and the lunchbox in Yan Bugui's hand, but he didn't see Qin Huairu.

"Where is Huairu?" (End of Chapter)
