Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

Chapter 2466 Sisters Chat

The Jia family's plan continues. They may not have any other skills, but they are incredibly shameless.

No matter how much Sha Zhu and Xu Damao made things difficult for them, they always greeted them with smiles.

The Jia family's enthusiasm made things much easier for Qin Jingru.

She no longer had to do the laundry for Xu Damao and Shazhu, which gave her a lot more time.

“Jingru, if you ask me, you shouldn’t go back to your rented house. Just live in the courtyard.”

"We have so many empty rooms in our compound." Qin Huairu greeted Qin Jingru warmly as she entered.

Qin Jingru didn't really want to stay here because she felt Qin Huairu was particularly terrifying.

Before Qin Huairu and Lou Xiao'e fought over the family property, she always thought that Qin Huairu had no choice.

She naively thought that Qin Huairu would be grateful to Sha Zhu and treat him well.

But after Lou Xiao'e left, she discovered that Qin Huairu had changed.

Qin Huairu is only kind to those who can bring her benefits.

Sha Zhu has been completely drained by Qin Huairu and is no longer of any use.

If it weren't for the fact that Qin Huairu was hoping Sha Zhu would serve Yi Zhonghai, she would have kicked Sha Zhu out of the house long ago.

The facts have proven that what Xu Damao said to her back then was true.

Only a month after Yi Zhonghai died, Sha Zhu was beaten up by Bang Geng and kicked out of his home.

There's also the matter of He Yushui.

Back when He Yushui came to see Sha Zhu, Qin Huairu always unintentionally stopped her from speaking.

Qin Jingru witnessed it with her own eyes at the time.

Besides fear, there was also a reluctance to let Qin Huairu go.

Qin Jingru was also present when He Yuzhu took out the photos.

Qin Jingru could not accept that the Qin Huai family had become spies for money.

She didn't want to watch Qin Huairu get arrested, so she had no choice but to run away.

"No need. I'm doing quite well there."

Qin Huairu's eyes flashed with displeasure upon hearing Qin Jingru's refusal.

Ever since Qin Jingru chose to move out with Xu Damao, Qin Huairu has decided to disown her cousin.

If it weren't for wanting Qin Jingru to speak up for her, she wouldn't have bothered to pay any attention to Qin Jingru.

"Jingru, I don't know what I did to offend you that you treat me like this. Tell me, and I'll change my ways."

Qin Jingru sighed: "You didn't offend me, I just feel that you shouldn't have treated Shazhu like that."

It's that silly Zhu again.

Qin Huai couldn't understand why anyone would stand up for Sha Zhu, a fool.

Yi Zhonghai is dead, He Yushui is dead, everyone in the compound has moved away, even the big leader's family has severed ties with Sha Zhu.

Qin Huairu then tacitly allowed Bang Geng to seek revenge on Sha Zhu.

But she never expected that when Sha Zhu was perfectly fine, no one paid any attention to him.

When Sha Zhu got into trouble, so many people stood up to help him.

What broke Qin Huairu's defenses even more was that Xu Damao, who should have been the least likely to help Sha Zhu, was the first to stand up for Sha Zhu.

If Xu Damao hadn't braved the snow to find Shazhu, Shazhu definitely wouldn't have survived that night.

"I'll change, okay? Can you talk to Sha Zhu for me and tell him I know I was wrong?"

Banggeng's biological father was killed by Uncle Yi. But Uncle Yi had also been kind to my family.

I'm in a dilemma too.

I finally managed to persuade Banggeng to let go of his hatred. Banggeng agreed, saying that he hadn't done anything while the old man was alive.

When the old man died, the grudge between Banggeng and the old man also disappeared.

But Sha Zhu insisted on making Bang Geng worship an old man, and Bang Geng couldn't stand it.

Unable to avenge his own father and forced to support his enemy, this is already incredibly difficult.

If Shazhu forces Banggeng to worship the old man again, isn't that like stabbing Banggeng in the heart with a knife?

Tell me, if you were in that situation, would you have agreed to Sha Zhu's request?

Qin Jingru was unable to answer this question.

As an outsider, I cannot condone the things Yi Zhonghai did.

Anyone else would have been perfectly justified in seeking revenge against Yi Zhonghai. But the Jia family is different.

Yi Zhonghai's kindness to the Jia family is undeniable. Although Yi Zhonghai was being generous with other people's money, the Jia family received tangible benefits.

Without Yi Zhonghai, Sha Zhu might not have been so dedicated to helping the Jia family.

"Sister, don't ask me, you should ask yourself. You hate Yi Zhonghai while enjoying the benefits he brought to your family."

Do you even have the right to talk to Yi Zhonghai about revenge?

Qin Huairu was speechless, completely stumped. No matter how she tried to explain, she couldn't ignore the benefits Yi Zhonghai brought to the Jia family.

In some respects, the benefits Yi Zhonghai brought to the Jia family far outweighed the harm he caused them.

Compared to Sha Zhu, there's even less to mention.

Of all the people in the courtyard, Sha Zhu was the one who suffered the most at the hands of Yi Zhonghai.

Yi Zhonghai's idea is excellent. He will take the lead in caring for the deaf old lady, Sha Zhu will take the lead in caring for him, and when Sha Zhu gets old, Bang Geng will take the lead in caring for him.

This is called passing on the torch.

However, in reality, it simply doesn't work.

His vision is based on the premise that the environment of the courtyard houses, Beijing, and even the whole of China and the world remains unchanged for over a century.

This is impossible.

Therefore, his plan can only be a pipe dream.

In fact, the social environment changed before the deaf old lady's retirement was even completed.

It was Sha Zhu who, with his foolishness, forced the deaf old lady to enjoy her later years in peace.

When the conversation stalled, Qin Huairu changed tactics.

"Let's not talk about the old man. Let's talk about Sha Zhu. I've already taught Bang Geng a lesson. Bang Geng knows he was wrong."

I beg you to plead with Sha Zhu and get him to forgive Bang Geng.

"If Bang Geng really knows he's wrong, he should take the initiative to go find Sha Zhu," Qin Jingru said dismissively to Qin Huairu.

Everyone knows what kind of temper Bang Geng has; he has never admitted his mistakes since he was a child.

When Shazhu took the blame for Banggeng, Banggeng never said a word of thanks to Shazhu.

It was only after Sha Zhu found Bang Geng a decent job that Bang Geng verbally thanked Sha Zhu a few times.

Qin Jingru knew very well that Bang Geng would never admit his mistake. His so-called apology was merely lip service.

Sure enough, Qin Huairu's next words confirmed these points.

"Jingru, both Banggeng and Shazhu were at fault in that matter. Banggeng is shy and embarrassed to apologize."

Please help me persuade Shazhu to apologize to Banggeng.

Don't worry, I can guarantee that Bang-ge will apologize to Sha-zhu.

I made Bang Geng promise Sha Zhu in front of everyone that he would take care of Sha Zhu in his old age.

I also made Banggeng promise that he would take care of you and Xu Damao in your old age.

Elderly care is an eternal topic in traditional courtyard houses. Under Yi Zhonghai's promotion and guidance, the entire courtyard house is to revolve around elderly care.

Yi Zhonghai has no son and needs the Jia family to help him take care of him in his old age. Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui's sons are unfilial and also need the Jia family to help them take care of them in their old age.

Now it's Sha Zhu's turn. Having a son is the same as not having one; he'll definitely need the Jia family to support him in his old age.

Xu Damao and his wife never had a son in their lives, and they also lacked someone to take care of them in their old age.

As long as these people need retirement, the Jia family will have the financial security.

Qin Huairu was convinced that this would convince Qin Jingru.

But she didn't even consider that, given the things the Jia family had done, who would dare to believe it?

If we truly trusted the Jia family, then those neighbors in the courtyard who took advantage of the situation wouldn't have moved away.

Qin Jingru was very self-aware and knew that the Jia family would never support her in her old age.

Even if the Jia family really agreed, she wouldn't dare believe it.

"Sister, an apology isn't just about saying it; it's about taking real action."

Yi Zhonghai is dead, and no one will unconditionally indulge your family anymore.

"If you really want to apologize to Sha Zhu, I can help you, but beyond that, I can't do it." (End of Chapter)
