Siheyuan: Revenge of the Stupid Pillar

"Vonima, this guy is too arrogant. He actually dared to go to someone else's house and overturn the dining table."

"What did I hear? Yi Juehu sent food to Bang Geng with good intentions, but he thought it was bad and overturned the table."

"Don't be kind to an ungrateful person like Bang Geng, because not only will he not be grateful to you, but he will even hate you."

"This Yi Zhonghai may seem smart, but he is actually as dumb as a pig. Zhuzi helped the Jia family so much before, but what did he get in return? He didn't get gratitude, but a cruel and wicked plot."

"Who says it's not true? The living example is right in front of us. Yi Juehu didn't learn his lesson. He deserves to be overturned."

"You underestimate Yi Juehu. He helped Banggeng not because he wanted to be grateful to him, but because he wanted to be his stepfather."

"They searched the inside of the house to death. I was wondering why a smart man like Yi Juehu would go to help the Jia family. It turns out he has other motives!"

"I've long said that Yi Jue Hu and Widow Qin were having an affair, but you just didn't believe it. Is that right now?"

"What does it matter whether we believe it or not? It mainly depends on whether Li Guifang believes it or not."

"I think Li Guifang also has some doubts, otherwise she wouldn't have forced Widow Qin so hard today."

Qin Huairu was isolated and helpless, and had no choice but to keep hitting the stick.

"I told you not to be obedient, I told you not to be obedient, are you trying to piss me off to death?"

Bang Geng clenched his teeth and said nothing, just staring at Qin Huairu, his eyes filled with terrifying hatred.

Li Guifang said impatiently: "Alright, stop acting in front of me. Banggeng must compensate for the damage he caused to my family."

Qin Huairu's face was full of resentment, and she burst into tears and said, "Master's Wife, you knew I didn't have the money to pay, why did you force me to do it?"

Li Guifang said coldly: "Qin Huairu, don't act like a victim here. If you do something wrong, you must bear the consequences. I don't care if you have money or not, you must compensate my family for the losses, otherwise I will call the police immediately."

Yi Zhonghai said in a deep voice: "Qin Huairu, for the sake of our relationship as master and disciple, I allow you to write an IOU and pay it back slowly in the future."

Seeing that she had no way to get away with it, Qin Huairu had no choice but to agree to Yi Zhonghai's request.

Seeing that the show was over, everyone started to leave slowly.

The deaf old lady said with a dark face: "Yushui, let's go too!"

Yi Zhonghai hurriedly apologized: "Old lady, I'm sorry for what happened today. I will treat you to a meal and apologize to you next time."

The deaf old lady said coldly, "Forget it. I'm afraid if I come to your house again, I'll die here. Let's not contact each other in the future."

"Old lady, this will never happen again."

"Old lady, listen to me..."

No matter how careful Yi Zhonghai was, the deaf old lady ignored him.

After the deaf old lady left, Yi Zhonghai stared at Qin Huairu and her son like a hungry wolf, and his voice was as cold as ice.

"Look at what you have done."

Qin Huairu said tremblingly: "Master, it's all my fault. I haven't seen Banggen."

"Get out of here now, I don't want to see you now!"

"Master, don't be angry. I'll leave right away."

After Qin Huairu left, Yi Zhonghai looked at the mess on the ground with a mysterious look in his eyes, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Li Guifang said angrily: "Yi Zhonghai, why are you still standing there like a wooden stake? Why don't you clean up quickly?"

"Yi Zhonghai, I warn you, you must pay back the money Qin Huairu wrote down today."

"Still, you are not allowed to help the Jia family anymore, and you are not allowed to have any involvement with the Jia family anymore."

Yi Zhonghai said irritably: "Alright, the Jia family's affairs are all trivial matters. What bothers me most now is that I want the deaf old lady to plead for me."

Li Guifang poured cold water on him, saying, "Yi Zhonghai, don't dream. Even if there was no Bang Geng incident today, that old man would not help you."

"impossible!"

"Nothing is impossible. You saw the attitude of the old deaf man at the dinner table just now. He had no intention of helping you. He just wanted to cheat you out of a meal."

"You mean the deaf old lady took us for granted?"

"It's not that bad, you are still a sucker who offered himself to me!"

Yi Zhonghai's face turned pale and he said, "Isn't she afraid of my revenge?"

Li Guifang sneered: "The barefoot are not afraid of wearing shoes. He is in his seventies and eighties, and the dirt is almost buried up to his neck. Would he be afraid of your revenge?"

Yi Zhonghai said, "This is just your guess. I will not let go of the deaf old lady. No matter how much it costs, I will let the deaf old lady help me."

Li Guifang frowned and asked, "Why are you so stubborn?"

Yi Zhonghai said helplessly: "It's not that I am stubborn, but the only one who can help me now is the old lady."

Li Guifang advised, "Why are you doing this? The salary of a fourth-level fitter is about 50 yuan, which is enough for our family to live on. As long as we can raise Yongxiao safely, we will have accomplished our mission."

"Don't ask for too much in this life. You should learn to be content with what you have. My biggest wish now is to raise Yongxiao. I don't care about anything else."

Yi Zhonghai said firmly: "You can be content with the status quo and muddle through, but I can't. I have been glorious for half my life. I can't let Liu Haizhong and others suppress me when I am old."

"You are just too competitive. Isn't it better to live a simple life?"

"I would like to live a simple life, but will others agree?"

"You just need to put aside your pride, apologize if you should apologize, and make amends if you should apologize..."

"Stop talking. Even if I die, I will never apologize to Liu Haizhong, Xu Damao and the like."

"You're just trying to save face, but you're suffering. Do whatever you want. I don't care."

Banggeng returned home with a gloomy face and found that the fish on the table had been eaten up by Xiaodang and Huaihua, without even a bite of soup left for him. He was so angry that he started punching and kicking his two sisters.

"I'll beat you two ungrateful, selfish bastards to death. I used to save everything I ate for you two sisters, and this is how you two treat me, your brother?"

"Wuwu...Brother, please stop hitting me. My sister and I were just too hungry and we accidentally ate all the fish."

"Wow...Brother, we wanted to save it for you, but we forgot about it while eating."

"That's because you don't have me as your brother in your heart. If you have me in your heart, you would never forget to leave it for me."

"Brother, we were wrong. We will definitely leave it for you next time."

"There won't be a next time. From now on, I, Bang Geng, will no longer recognize you two as my sisters."

"Brother, please don't deny us. We really know we are wrong."

Qin Huairu returned home exhausted and saw Banggeng beating up her two younger sisters. She felt a deep sense of powerlessness in her heart.
