Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

Chapter 2464 Shocked

"Widow Qin, are you doing laundry?"

As soon as Liu Guangtian and his group entered the courtyard, they saw Qin Huairu, with her buttocks sticking out, washing clothes in the yard.

Aside from his age, his movements are exactly the same as they were decades ago.

Seeing this scene, the group thought they had returned to the past and subconsciously looked towards Yi Zhonghai's house.

They knew that Qin Huairu was doing this often to impress Sha Zhu and Yi Zhonghai.

The same actions, Yi Zhonghai saw Qin Huairu's diligence, while Sha Zhu saw Qin Huairu's pitifulness.

Therefore, Yi Zhonghai firmly chose Qin Huairu as his caretaker, and Sha Zhu became Qin Huairu's sycophant at this time.

The two also had something in common: they both loved to admire Qin Huairu's graceful figure.

The group snapped out of their daze, exchanged glances, and looked at each other somewhat awkwardly.

Even though the tiger is dead, its might remains.

Don't be fooled by how loudly they criticize Yi Zhonghai; if he were to actually appear, they would all be as scared as mice at the sight of a cat.

It's not their fault; anyone who has been oppressed by someone for decades will develop a fear of that person.

Even when they were just little kids, Yi Zhonghai had already established his prestige in the courtyard house.

The entire courtyard house was essentially Yi Zhonghai's personal fiefdom.

What Yi Zhonghai wants to do, he will definitely accomplish; what Yi Zhonghai doesn't want to do, he absolutely cannot accomplish.

Offending Yi Zhonghai will definitely not end well without suffering some consequences.

Although Yi Zhonghai was quiet for a period of time due to the social environment.

But that was just Yi Zhonghai being afraid of being involved in external affairs, not a lack of ability.

When the social environment changed again, Yi Zhonghai regained his spirits.

Sha Zhu is pretty awesome, isn't he?

Yi Zhonghai wouldn't let Sha Zhu have his biological son, so Sha Zhu couldn't have him.

They once thought that they would rise to power after Yi Zhonghai got old.

But they were being too simplistic.

Once the nursing home was established, everyone had to live under Yi Zhonghai's thumb.

Yi Zhonghai's prestige has not diminished; on the contrary, it has increased considerably.

In name, Sha Zhu is the head of the nursing home. In reality, Yi Zhonghai is the one who holds the absolute power.

Sha Zhu was merely a puppet put forward by Yi Zhonghai.

After Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui died, they quickly moved out of the courtyard house, not daring to stay there any longer.

It was only after Yi Zhonghai died that they dared to come back and take a look.

Qin Huai hadn't washed clothes in the courtyard for years, and when they suddenly saw it, they thought Yi Zhonghai had returned.

Hearing the noise, Qin Huai turned around, holding up her underwear: "Why are you here?"

"Sister Qin, we've come to see Brother Zhu." The group quickly explained, their tone much more respectful than before.

Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu had a falling out, and Sha Zhu no longer recognized Qin Huairu as his wife. In order to please Sha Zhu, they started calling her "Widow Qin".

Upon seeing the underwear in Qin Huairu's hand, the group panicked.

They had shared a room with Sha Zhu for a few days and recognized the underwear. It was Sha Zhu's underwear.

Qin Huairu hasn't washed Sha Zhu's clothes by hand for many years.

Especially after they fell out, Sha Zhu didn't dare to eat anything Qin Huairu gave him.

Now Qin Huairu is actually washing Sha Zhu's underwear.

They all suspected that Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu had reconciled.

If Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu really reconciled, they wouldn't dare offend Qin Huairu even if they had a few more lives.

Qin Huairu wanted this effect, and said imperiously, "Shazhu is inside, you can go now."

"Sister Qin, you're busy." Several people bowed and scraped, "We bought some braised meat, would you like some...?"

"Liu Guangtian, what are you guys doing?" Sha Zhu interrupted them.

"Brother Zhu, we bought some braised meat and came to drink with you." Hearing Sha Zhu's voice, the group quickly ran over.

They knew very well that Qin Huai had children, and that he was someone who only took money in and never gave it out.

They had no way of getting anything out of Qin Huairu.

If they want any benefits, they need to please Sha Zhu. Only by keeping Sha Zhu happy can they get what they want.

Sha Zhu examined the items in their hands, somewhat surprised. He wouldn't have been surprised if it were just the two Liu brothers. The Liu family were ruthless, but not stingy.

But Yan Jiefang and his brother also went along.

Everyone in the courtyard knows what kind of temper the Yan family has.

Those are people who would rather give up their lives than their wealth.

When it came to arranging Yan Bugui's funeral, none of the brothers were willing to spend any money.

If it weren't for Yi Zhonghai forcing him to pay for Yan Bugui's funeral, no one would have wanted Yan Bugui's ashes among the three Yan brothers.

Who bought this?

“We pooled our money to buy it,” Yan Jiefang said quickly.

"Are you willing to spend the money?" Sha Zhu asked directly, showing no mercy.

Yan Jiefang was a little embarrassed: "Weren't we poor before? Now we have some money, and things aren't expensive."

Sha Zhu wanted to say a few more sarcastic remarks, but Xu Damao stopped him: "People change. You can't judge people with old eyes."

"Since you're here, please bring your things inside."

Yan Jiefang and Yan Jiekuang felt as if they had been granted a pardon and took their things into the house.

That was just an instinctive rude remark; Sha Zhu didn't really mean anything by it.

With Xu Damao's reminder, he stopped saying anything.

The biggest enemy now is not them, but Qin Huairu.

Xu Damao stayed behind last, glancing at Qin Huairu: "Make sure you wash yourself clean. I'll come over to check after I finish eating with Shazhu."

After saying that, Xu Damao smiled and went into the house.

Qin Huairu was so angry that she threw her underwear on the ground and stomped on it a few times.

She stood there, muttering to herself, her eyes filled with resentment.

After a while, Qin Huairu reluctantly picked up the underwear again and put it back in the basin of water.

Now is her chance to win back Sha Zhu's favor; she can't be willful.

She had to endure humiliation to protect her half of the property rights held by Sha Zhu.

She did anything for a lunchbox back then. What can't she do now?

Inside the house, the Yan brothers took out the dishes they had brought.

There are quite a few varieties, including braised meat, cold dishes, and even a few hot dishes.

Liu Guangtian then asked from the side, "Brother Zhu, have you and Sister Qin made up?"

Sha Zhu glared at him: "Bullshit, I wish I could kill her. I would never make up with her in this lifetime."

"Then how does she wash your underwear?" Liu Guangfu asked, puzzled.

The Yan brothers heard this and turned to look.

After the courtyard house was built, a washing machine was purchased. Qin Huairu no longer needed to do the laundry herself.

It was only because of Yi Zhonghai's clothes that Qin Huairu would personally wash them.

They call it filial piety.

Shazhu's clothes were all washed in the washing machine along with everyone else's.

They were truly baffled to see Qin Huairu personally washing Sha Zhu's clothes.

Sha Zhu snorted, "She took so many of my things, shouldn't she wash my underwear?"

"It should be, it should be. But..."

"No buts," Xu Damao said. "Isn't it obvious?"

If Qin Huai wanted to use a good laundry detergent, he would continue to fool Sha Zhu.

She used the trick of washing clothes to completely fool Sha Zhu.

Upon hearing this, Liu Guangtian and the other three couldn't help but laugh.

In the first two years after Qin Huairu married into the family, Sha Zhu didn't work, and everyone thought that Qin Huairu was genuinely hardworking.

After Yi Zhonghai disciplined Sha Zhu and made him obedient, he found Sha Zhu a job.

Everyone soon noticed that every time Sha Zhu came back, he would see Qin Huairu diligently washing clothes.

Gradually, all of Sha Zhu's lunchboxes ended up in Qin Huairu's hands.

He Yushui had only enjoyed a few good days when she was suddenly back to where Sha Zhu was before he lost his job. (End of Chapter)
