Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

Chapter 2499 Interesting Anecdotes

Liu Guangtian and the others blamed each other for a while, but couldn't come up with a solution.

Yan Jiefang asked, "What should we do? Sha Zhu and Xu Damao must have been out for the past few days looking for people to help them take back the restaurant."

Han Yue was the one he found.

This task should have been ours.

Liu Guangtian scratched his head and said fiercely, "We can't let this go. We need an explanation."

Liu Guangfu whispered, "What do you want an explanation for? Sha Zhu already had four people with him, including Yang Feng, and now there's Han Yue too."

Look at Han Yue's physique; you can tell at a glance that he's trained.

"We'll get nothing from going to find Sha Zhu."

The two Yan brothers felt somewhat intimidated when they thought about the skills of Yang Feng and his group.

They perfectly inherited Yan Bugui's cowardly and greedy nature. They lacked the courage to stand up for themselves when faced with someone stronger than themselves.

The Liu brothers were actually quite timid, they just seemed bolder than the Yan brothers.

Liu Guangtian hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Shall we go find Qin Huairu?"

She made up those stories, and Sha Zhu will definitely tell Xu Damao.

If that scoundrel Xu Damao finds out, do you think we'll have a good outcome?

Qin Huairu must compensate us for our losses.

Yan Jiefang's eyes lit up, and greed surfaced: "Yes, Qin Huairu must compensate us for our losses."

Yan Jiekuang asked with some concern, "If we go to find Qin Huairu, wouldn't that confirm what Qin Huairu said?"

"So, what about Sha Zhu's side..."

Liu Guangtian said, "Why bring up Sha Zhu again? Do you think Sha Zhu would trust us even if we didn't look for Qin Huairu?"

He doesn't believe anyone else now, only Xu Damao.

Do you think Xu Damao would say anything good about us?

Knowing that Liu Guangtian was telling the truth, the group went to Qin Huairu's house to settle accounts with her.

Qin Huairu was much smarter than them. After returning to the house, she called the children and told them to come back.

When she saw Liu Guangtian and the others, she feigned concern and gave them perfunctory responses.

She absolutely will not tell the truth until Banggeng and the others return.

"Sister Qin, stop trying to fool us. You've got us killed..."

Qin Huairu used the same old trick: feigning grievance and remaining silent.

Xu Damao had no time to pay attention to the others. He took his account book and went to find Sha Zhu.

“Look here. Yan Bugui wrote that he saw a beautiful woman meeting with Yi Zhonghai at the entrance of the alley.”

And here, he wrote again that the woman was entangled with Uncle Xu again.

This woman must be the White Widow.

Yan Bugui already knew all this, but he didn't tell you.

Sha Zhu took the ledger, glanced at it once, and then continued flipping through it.

"Yan Bugui received such big news but didn't tell me. Yi Zhonghai must have given him some benefits."

Xu Damao agreed, and he and Shazhu went to search together. Sure enough, three days later, Yan Bugui wrote a message about Yi Zhonghai inviting people to dinner.

"He definitely used this information to blackmail Yi Zhonghai."

Sha Zhu looked at the ledger, thinking hard, and then slapped himself.

"That son of a bitch, Yi Zhonghai. My dad paid for this dinner."

"Are you serious?" Xu Damao was taken aback.

The ledger didn't record who paid for it, so how did Sha Zhu figure it out?

Sha Zhu pointed to the last sentence: "Look here, that silly boy Sha Zhu is busy helping out with everything..."

That silly boy, he's not very bright, but his skills are pretty good.

Xu Damao looked at it once, but couldn't figure it out either.

"What's wrong with these?"

Sha Zhu gritted his teeth and said, "This is the first time I've ever organized a feast in the courtyard."

The day before, Yi Zhonghai came to my father and said it was time to test my skills.

My father listened to him and agreed. He gave me money to buy groceries and even asked Yan Bugui and Liu Haizhong to be witnesses.

Xu Damao was stunned for a moment, then asked, "This must be Uncle He testing your skills before he left."

Only when your cooking skills are good will he feel comfortable leaving.

Sha Zhu's face was ashen. He had been so proud of himself, thinking he had a real talent. Little did he know that it was precisely because of his good cooking skills that He Daqing would leave without worry.

Perhaps his cooking skills weren't good enough to sustain the business, otherwise He Daqing wouldn't have left so readily.

Han Yue heard what the two were saying, glanced up at them, and then paid no more attention.

His mission was to find evidence that the Jia family had betrayed intelligence; Yi Zhonghai's scheme against Sha Zhu was unimportant.

Xu Damao patted Sha Zhu on the shoulder: "Don't be angry. Let's keep watching."

Sha Zhu held the ledger and read through it bit by bit.

Xu Damao had no choice but to take another breakfast ledger and read it.

After glancing at it twice, Xu Damao got so angry that he started cursing.

"Damn Yan Bugui, I'll tear you to pieces!"

"What's wrong?" Sha Zhu looked up and asked.

Xu Damao angrily pointed at the account book: "Look, Yan Bugui took three catties of millet from the deaf old lady and then spread rumors everywhere that my father is a bad seed."

They even said that if I went back ten years, I would be a traitor.

"Damn it, ten years ago I was only three years old, were there traitors this young?"

Sha Zhu couldn't help but burst into laughter: "What did you do to offend that deaf old lady? She hates you so much."

Xu Damao thought for a moment and could only think of one possibility: "It must be that my family didn't send her meat to eat."

Sha Zhu thought that was also possible, and then he inadvertently saw the date.

He suddenly remembered something and then flipped to the next few pages.

"really."

"what happened?"

Sha Zhu pointed at the ledger: "Look here. Let's fight."

Xu Damao was taken aback, then gritted his teeth and said, "If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten. You've been beating me since 1950."

You're a complete bastard.

Sha Zhu was in the wrong and had no way to explain: "That's not what I meant."

Do you know why I hit you?

The deaf old lady came to me privately and said that you bullied her, which is why I hit you.

Xu Damao wasn't surprised by Sha Zhu's reasons for taking action, but he was surprised that Sha Zhu remembered them so clearly.

"You still remember things from so long ago?"

Sha Zhu said, "Look behind us. Isn't there a dinner party going on?"

Your dad and my dad don't get along very well. When are you going to invite everyone over together?

Of course I remember that.

Xu Damao took a closer look and remembered it too, and angrily cursed the deaf old lady and Yi Zhonghai.

The people next to them were flipping through the ledger, trying to suppress their laughter; it must have been incredibly difficult for them.

Sha Zhu turned his head and continued looking at the next ledger.

He saw Yan Bugui scolding He Daqing for not bringing his lunchbox. This was because He Daqing had given his lunchbox to Widow Bai, so naturally he wouldn't bring it to the courtyard house.

After cursing for more than half a month, he wrote about Yi Zhonghai coming to him, asking for the key to the gate.

He was also given 50,000 yuan as hush money.

Sha Zhu was furious when he saw Yi Zhonghai casually give him 50,000 yuan as hush money.

He took care of Yi Zhonghai his whole life, but he never even saw Yi Zhonghai's money.

Yi Zhonghai eventually gave all his money to Qin Huairu, and he didn't even know the exact amount.

Every time he asked Qin Huairu, she would righteously accuse him: "You take care of this old man just for his money?"

Sha Zhu had no choice but to say that he was just asking casually.

"That bastard Yi Zhonghai really knows how to spend money; he casually handed over 50,000 yuan to shut Yan Bugui up."

Xu Damao turned his head and said, "Don't be fooled by the high price he offered; he's not losing out at all."

Fifty thousand back then is only worth five yuan now.

He got such a filial son for just five yuan; he's hit the jackpot. (End of Chapter)
