Siheyuan: Revenge of the Stupid Pillar

When Yi Zhonghai thought about the situation in the factory where he was surrounded by enemies, he felt sad.

Not long ago, he was an envied eighth-level fitter. His colleagues respected him and his leaders valued him. How come his reputation was ruined in the blink of an eye and no one dared to step on his head?

"No, I have to hold on to someone so that no one dares to look down on me, squeeze me, or bully me."

When he thought of currying favor with someone, the first person he thought of was Yang Xinmin.

Yang Xinmin is the factory director and the most powerful person in the factory, not to mention that he has always valued him.

"No, I must get Director Yang's forgiveness. I wonder if that damn deaf old lady is still willing to help me?"

The next day, Sunday.

Early in the morning, Yi Zhonghai just opened the door and saw He Yuzhu pushing his bicycle out.

Sun Jinfeng greeted him, "Zhu Zi, why are you going out so early?"

He Yuzhu smiled: "I agreed with my partner to go to the park today. It's hot now, so we have to leave early."

The speaker has no intention, the listener has the heart.

Upon hearing this, Yi Zhonghai turned around and went back to the house and said to Li Guifang, "Old woman, go buy some fish and some meat."

Li Guifang asked in confusion: "It's not a festival, why are they buying fish and selling meat?"

Yi Zhonghai explained: "The deaf old lady has been spoiled by He Yuzhu. Only by making a rich lunch can we invite her to our house for dinner."

Li Guifang said coldly: "Don't waste your energy. The old deaf woman has made up her mind to draw a clear line between us. I sent her food in the past few days, but she never accepted it."

"The deaf old lady is greedy. The reason she refuses to accept it is because the food is not good enough."

"No matter how good the food is, it's useless. As long as Shazhu is here, she will never get along with us."

"Shazhu is out on a date with his girlfriend and won't be home all day. This is our chance."

"Even if Sha Zhu wasn't at home, the deaf old lady probably wouldn't accept it. She's very smart. She wouldn't risk creating a rift with Sha Zhu by coming to our house for dinner."

“We have to try it anyway.”

"Why do you have to be so servile to please that old man?"

"Didn't I tell you before? I tried to please the deaf old lady in order to get on good terms with Director Yang. I'm having a hard time in the factory right now. Without the protection of my leader, I'll be excluded everywhere."

"OK then!"

When Li Guifang came back with fish and meat, everyone in the courtyard was shocked.

In everyone's impression, although Yi Zhonghai has a high salary, he lives a very simple life. Not to mention buying fish and meat, he rarely buys even a bone.

Sun Jinfeng teased, "Could it be that the sun is rising from the west today? The Yi Juehu family is buying fish and meat. What are they doing? Could it be that Li Guifang is pregnant?"

Wang Shufen sneered, "Li Guifang is just a hen that can't lay eggs, how could she possibly get pregnant? If she could get pregnant, she would have done it a long time ago. Why would she wait until now?"

"Then what's the matter with Yi Jue Hu? Why are they buying fish and meat during a festival that's not a festival?"

"Who knows? However, considering Yi Juehu's stingy character, he must have big plans if he offers both fish and meat today."

"Could it be that this extinct family wants to treat Zhuzi to a meal to apologize and want to reconcile with him?"

"Impossible. Zhuzi went out to meet someone early in the morning. He probably won't be back today."

"Could it be that Yi Juehu is going to invite some important leader to dinner today?"

"No need to guess blindly. We will know Yi Juehu's purpose by lunch time."

Bang Geng hurried home and said to Qin Huairu, "Mom, we are going to Yi Juehu's house for dinner today. Yi Juehu not only bought meat but also fish today."

"Snapped!"

Qin Huairu raised her hand and slapped him, angrily saying, "You bastard, who are you calling Yi Jue Hu?"

Bang Geng stiffened his neck and said indignantly, "Everyone calls him Yi Zhonghai and Yi Juehu, why can't I call him that?"

Qin Huairu scolded, "How can our family be the same as others? Yi Zhonghai is my master, and he is your master's master. If you don't respect him, you are betraying your master and ancestors."

"Why should I respect him? He beat my grandma so hard that she was hospitalized. He is my enemy."

"Since he is your enemy, how dare you go to his house for dinner?"

"He owes me this. Grandma said that Yi Juehu promised that he would take care of our lives while she was in the hospital."

"Snapped!"

Qin Huairu slapped Bang Geng again and said sternly, "I told you not to call Yi Juehu, don't you understand?"

Bang Geng looked at Qin Huairu's ferocious face and shrank his neck. Although he did not dare to refute, his eyes revealed his unwillingness to accept the defeat.

Qin Huairu ignored Bang Geng and turned to go to Yi Zhonghai's house.

When Li Guifang saw Qin Huairu, he said with a dark face:

"Widow Qin, what are you doing in my house? Didn't I tell you that you are not welcome in my house? Get out of here now."

Qin Huairu said with a shameless face: "Master's wife, don't be angry first. I heard that Master is going to treat us today, and I am here to help."

Li Guifang said coldly: "Widow Qin, don't speak so righteously. I know exactly what you are thinking. I don't need your help. Get out of here now."

Seeing that Li Guifang was unmoved, Qin Huairu had no choice but to look to Yi Zhonghai for help.

Seeing this, Yi Zhonghai said in a gentle voice: "Old woman, don't be so resistant, Qin Huairu also means well."

Li Guifang looked at Yi Zhonghai coldly and warned:

"Yi Zhonghai, don't forget your purpose today. Do you think you can have a happy lunch today if you invite a bunch of ungrateful people from the Jia family into your home?"

Upon hearing this, Yi Zhonghai's expression froze and he said in a deep voice:

"Huai Ru, I'll tell you the truth. The person I'm hosting today is a deaf old lady, and this meal is very important to me, so there can't be any mistakes."

"The deaf old lady has a lot of complaints about your family, so I can't keep you for lunch."

"But don't worry, the food is ready, I'll bring some to your house."

Although Qin Huairu was angry in her heart, she said with a pleasant expression:

"Master, I don't quite understand why you attach so much importance to the deaf old lady?"

Yi Zhonghai whispered, "Because the deaf old lady has a close relationship with Director Yang, it is said that she saved Director Yang's life."

"You know what kind of situation we are in the factory now, so I want to get on good terms with the deaf old lady, and then ask her to speak well of Director Yang to help us get out of our current predicament."

Qin Huairu was shocked when she heard this, but then her face turned into joy. She said seriously:

"Master, don't worry, I will control Bang Geng and the others and will never cause any trouble for you."

Yi Zhonghai nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "Huai Ru, I am very pleased that you have this awareness."

"Also, there is one more thing I need your help with."

Qin Huairu said without hesitation: "Master, if you have anything to say, just tell me."

"Huai Ru, because we have a banquet for the deaf old lady at noon, I can't go to deliver food to your mother-in-law..."

"Master, I understand. I will send food to my mother-in-law."
