Siheyuan: Revenge of the Stupid Pillar

When thinking of his master, He Yuzhu felt a deep sense of guilt.

He Yuzhu's master is named Lu Dahai, who is the senior brother of his cheap father He Daqing. He is good at Sichuan cuisine and is the chef of Hongbinlou.

Lu Dahai had only three daughters and no sons, so there was no descendant to inherit his legacy.

He Yuzhu was his first apprentice and the son of his junior fellow apprentice, so he was very good to He Yuzhu. It was no exaggeration to say that he treated him like his own son.

However, because of He Daqing, he took his anger out on Lu Dahai, and with the instigation of Yi Zhonghai, he cut off contact with his master.

Thinking of this, He Yuzhu wanted to slap himself a few times.

"I was also blinded by Zhu Rou. How could I believe Yi Zhonghai's lies?"

If he had gone to find his master in the first place, he wouldn't have to look for food in the garbage dump, and he wouldn't have been Yi Zhonghai's dog for so many years.

With his master's support, he would have probably married and had children long ago, and his son would be old enough to help with the cooking.

The more He Yuzhu thought about it, the more regretful he felt. The more he thought about it, the more he hated Yi Zhonghai. He wished he could immediately take a mop and cut Yi Zhonghai into pieces.

It was a little late today, so he planned to buy some gifts tomorrow and go to his master's house to kowtow and apologize.

He Yuzhu returned to the courtyard and found that the central courtyard was full of people and a general meeting of the courtyard was being held.

He Yuzhu approached calmly and saw Fang Changgui scolding Yi Zhonghai with a sullen face.

"Yi Zhonghai, you really disappoint me. I trusted you so much and handed the position of the master to you, and this is how you manage me?"

"Under your management, the courtyard is in a mess, with evil spirits running rampant. Not only are rumors flying everywhere, but there are also thieves, fraudsters, fighters, robbers, and all kinds of people are coming out..."

Fang Changgui's face was full of anger and spit flying everywhere. He scolded Yi Zhonghai for ten minutes.

Yi Zhonghai was scolded like a grandson, with his head hung, not daring to even breathe.

Seeing Fang Changgui was tired of scolding, Yi Zhonghai said tremblingly: "Director Fang, please listen to me. Since I took over as the first uncle, I have been trying to maintain the unity of the courtyard..."

Before Yi Zhonghai could finish, Fang Changgui yelled again: "What's the point of your explanation? What you call maintaining the unity of the Siheyuan is to favor the Jia family without any bottom line and suppress others?"

Yi Zhonghai continued to explain: "Director, this is all a misunderstanding. I just saw that the orphans and widows of the Jia family are really pitiful, so I wanted everyone to take care of the Jia family. I didn't mean to suppress others!"

Fang Changgui shouted: "Yi Zhonghai, others say you are a hypocrite, I didn't believe it, now it seems that you really are a hypocrite!"

"At this point, you are still trying to evade the main point and play the moral blackmail."

"No wonder Chief Ma from the police station and Director Li from the steel mill both told me that you, Yi Zhonghai, are hypocritical and do not mean what you say. You are not suitable to be the head of the courtyard."

"Yi Zhonghai, I am officially informing you that your position as an uncle is no longer valid..."

Upon hearing this, Yi Zhonghai's face turned pale instantly, and he said anxiously: "Director Fang, you can't deny my dedication to Siheyuan over the years just because of a few gossips from outsiders!"

"Yi Zhonghai, since you are not convinced, let's listen to the voice of the masses!" Fang Changgui said, looking at the crowd and said loudly:

"Dear neighbors, do any of you support Yi Zhonghai to continue to serve as the uncle?"

As soon as Fang Changgui finished speaking, everyone started to criticize Yi Zhonghai.

"Director Fang, Yi Zhonghai is unfair and partial to some people. You should have fired him long ago."

"Director Fang, Yi Zhonghai has corrupt morals and low conduct. He is not qualified to be a master at all."

"Director Fang, Yi Zhonghai is like a mountain pressing down on us, making us miserable."

"Yi Zhonghai is shameless and two-faced. I oppose him continuing to serve as the boss."

"Yi Zhonghai is pretentious and has a vicious heart. I also oppose him continuing to be the boss."

"Yi Zhonghai is selfish and hypocritical. I also oppose him continuing to serve as the eldest uncle."

Fang Changgui said in a deep voice: "Yi Zhonghai, the eyes of the masses are sharp. I have to say that you are a real failure as a great man. The whole nation is against you. What else do you have to say now?"

Yi Zhonghai clenched his fists and said with a look of defeat, "Director Fang, I am willing to resign from my position as an uncle."

When Yi Zhonghai said this, he seemed to have aged ten years.

Yi Zhonghai couldn't understand why. Some time ago, he was a respected uncle, and everyone's evaluation of him was positive, saying that he was fair, selfless and helpful.

It hasn't been long since he turned into a despicable person who is despised by everyone, and people's evaluation of him has become selfish and hypocritical.

Yi Zhonghai thought for a moment and found the answer. The reason why his reputation was ruined and he was despised was mainly due to two people, one was Liu Haizhong and the other was Jia Zhang.

If Liu Haizhong hadn't interfered, Sha Zhu wouldn't have known about the evil things he had done before.

If Jia Zhang hadn't been causing trouble everywhere, he wouldn't have been hated by everyone in the courtyard and abandoned by his friends and relatives.

Thinking of these two people, Yi Zhonghai felt so angry that his teeth were itching, and he secretly swore in his heart that he would never let them have an easy time.

Yi Zhonghai was dismissed from his post, and Qin Huairu felt like she had lost her parents. Yi Zhonghai was her greatest support in the hospital. Now that Yi Zhonghai couldn't even protect himself, how could he take care of her?

Except Qin Huairu, everyone else laughed, and the happiest one among them was Liu Haizhong.

Because Yi Zhonghai was removed from his post, his chance came. He had been coveting the position of a big boss for a long time, and now he finally saw the light.

Liu Haizhong guessed correctly, Fang Changgui told him the good news the next second.

"Since Yi Zhonghai is no longer the first uncle, the first uncle in your courtyard will be replaced by the former second uncle, and the former third uncle will take the position of second uncle, and then you can choose a third uncle to take over."

Liu Haizhong was overjoyed when he heard this:

"Director, thank you for your trust in me. I promise you that I will never make the same mistake as Yi Zhonghai. I will devote my whole heart to making the compound a model compound of unity, friendship, and mutual assistance."

Yi Zhonghai saw the smug look on Liu Haizhong's face, clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and said angrily:

"Director, I have no objection to your dismissal of me, but I do not accept your promotion of Liu Haizhong to the position of a great master."

"The current state of the compound cannot be the fault of me, Yi Zhonghai, alone. As the second uncle, Liu Haizhong also has an unshirkable responsibility."

"Liu Haizhong and I are both responsible. You can't just punish me and promote him. That's unfair."

"Besides, Liu Haizhong is insidious and cunning. He will do anything to become an official. Many rumors in the compound were spread by him."

"You promoted him to be a great master, and you fell into his trap."
