Siheyuan: I am the Smart Pillar

Chen Er lowered his head and thought about it in detail. He also felt that what Yi Zhonghai said was true. With Yi Zhonghai's support, most people in the courtyard would not dare to bully him. In addition, Yi Zhonghai's savings and real estate made this a sure-win business.

It's nothing more than providing for Yi Zhonghai and his wife in their old age, so what's the big deal? Master is like a teacher and a father, isn't it his duty to provide for them in their old age? Chen Er nodded quickly and said to Yi Zhonghai, "Master, you also know that I, Chen Er, am now a single person without a father or a mother. Since Master is so straightforward, I will also speak frankly to you."

"I will definitely take care of you two in your old age. If you break this oath, I, Chen Er, will be struck by lightning or hit by a car in the future." After saying this, Chen Er kowtowed to Yi Zhonghai several times. His sincerity was quite full, which made Yi Zhonghai very satisfied.

Yi Zhonghai quickly helped Chen Er up, his old face full of smiles. Mrs. Long was right, sincerity must come first when people get along with each other. Yi Zhonghai smiled and nodded, showing concern for Chen Er. He said with a smile, "You don't have to be so honest, kid. After a while, oh no, tomorrow, I will go to the steel mill to ask for a job for you. I believe those leaders will definitely give me face."

"We will hold a disciple-taking ceremony in the courtyard to make everyone happy. I will definitely treat you well in the future. As long as you are smarter than Jia Dongxu, a salary of more than 30 yuan a month will not be a problem at all. Well, it's getting late today, so I'm going home."

Yi Zhonghai had been thinking about Chen Er's new retirement option for a long time. He hated himself for not including Chen Er in his retirement option earlier, perhaps because Chen Er didn't have a formal job. Having solved a big problem, Yi Zhonghai felt quite relieved.

When he returned home and told his wife Bai Xiuying about this matter, Bai Xiuying was also very surprised. After thinking for a while, he said, "Old man, is this reliable? How about we go to the old lady, who has eaten more salt than we have eaten rice, and ask her to help us make a decision? What do you think?"

Yi Zhonghai thought about it, shook his head and said, "I don't think it's a good idea. Do you think that old lady has no selfish motives? Forget it, you should tell this matter to Old Lady Long later. Remember, just tell her about it, not to ask for her advice, understand?"

Bai Xiuying nodded quickly. As a daughter-in-law, she naturally had to obey what her husband said. Bai Xiuying felt a little uneasy. If Chen Er and Jia Dongxu were dead, wouldn't her husband's plan fail again? Would the continuous blows make her husband collapse? Bai Xiuying had some questions in her heart.

Yi Zhonghai was beaming with joy. He didn't want to raise a child in an orphanage anyway, so he wanted to find a ready-made one. Chen Er had no parents, so he was one of his options for retirement. Yi Zhonghai nodded with satisfaction, a smile on his face. He planned to go to Yang Jianye's office tomorrow morning to talk about it. After all, he was an old worker, so it should be easy to squeeze someone in.

Bai Xiuying went to the backyard and told the old lady about this matter. Old lady Long felt like she was struck by a bolt from the blue. Yi Zhonghai has found another person to take care of the elderly. Now Yi Zhonghai has someone to take care of the elderly. What should he do? Old lady Long sighed. After listening to Bai Xiuying's words, she knew that Yi Zhonghai was determined to do it.

After cursing Yi Zhonghai's ancestors in her heart, she said coldly, "Since you two have made up your mind, I am just an outsider and have no right to speak. But I still want to say one last thing, people's hearts are separated from their stomachs. In the courtyard, there is no one else who can provide for you two in your old age except He Yuzhu!"

Bai Xiuying's face was full of bitterness. She sighed and said, "Oh, my old lady. It's been so long, haven't you noticed? Shazhu has changed now. He didn't even give face to our old Yi some time ago. How can such a person provide for us in our old age? I think Chen Er, who our old Yi has just found, is still very useful. When the time comes, let him provide for us in our old age. It will be foolproof."

Old Lady Long curled her lips, still a little unhappy in her heart. She is the ancestor of the courtyard, and you, the younger generation, should just listen to what the ancestor says. Bai Xiuying actually dared to talk back to her, she was simply lawless. Alas, the situation was stronger than the person, she was just an old lady who was about to die, what could she do.

In He Yuzhu's home, a letter from Qinjia Village was read to Qin Huairu by He Yuzhu. Although Qin Huairu could read, she still didn't know some words. Recently, she was learning culture from Ma Haiyan in the purchasing department, and her cultural level was increasing day by day.

Qin Huairu was very happy when she heard the information in the letter. Half a year ago, she and her husband extorted a sum of money from Yi Zhonghai, but they did not keep the money for themselves. Instead, they remitted it to Qinjia Village to build a school. The school had already started construction half a year ago, and it was finally going to be completed during this period.

Qin Huairu smiled and said, "Boss, the village chief asked us to go back to attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony. When are we going?" Qin Huairu's face was very excited. This was something that could earn her face. He Yuzhu nodded and said, "I'll take some time during this period, and we'll go back then."

Qin Huairu nodded with a smile. The couple had already finished their meal and wanted to rest early. Bang, bang, bang, someone knocked on the door. Qin Huairu put on her clothes and opened the door. She found that it was her good friend Liu Chunhua and her man Tian Er.

Qin Huairu smiled and nodded, and quickly welcomed the two people in. He Yuzhu saw that there were guests coming, and quickly got down from the kang. He smiled and said, "It turned out to be Chunhua and Brother Tian. Let Huairu pour tea first!" Qin Huairu nodded quickly and prepared to go to the kitchen to find tea leaves.

Liu Chunhua waved her hands quickly, smiled and said, "Huai Ru, stop working. My husband and I have nothing to do today, so we came to ask Master He for help." He Yuzhu was stunned and asked tentatively, "Do you two want me to prepare a feast for you two?"
