Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

Chapter 2494 Qin Huairu's Delusions

Everything else can be bought with money. If you run out of money, just go to Qin Huairu for it.

This time, when they went to report it, the relevant departments also made a promise to them.

Once it is confirmed that the Bang-Geng family were spies, Sha-Ju's family fortune will be returned to him.

Sha Zhu and Xu Damao are not short of money.

But some things can't be bought. For example, the medicinal wine that He Yuzhu gave them.

You can't buy this even if you have the money.

The two inquired around the area several times, but couldn't find anywhere that sold the alcohol.

As long as the wine isn't lost, Sha Zhu and Xu Damao don't care.

Originally, Bang Geng was planning to throw away all of Sha Zhu and Xu Damao's belongings.

However, Qin Huairu was afraid that if Sha Zhu came back and found out, she would not be able to restore her relationship with Sha Zhu.

So she only let Bang Geng change the key to the house, but didn't let Bang Geng touch anything inside.

Seeing that she couldn't stop Sha Zhu, Qin Huairu had no choice but to change her tactics.

"Silly Zhu, what do you think of what I just told you?"

Sha Zhu was relieved to see that the wine cabinet was intact, and his attitude towards Qin Huairu improved slightly as a result.

"What is it?"

Qin Huairu was very perceptive and noticed the subtle change in Sha Zhu's attitude.

This is also what she relies on to control Sha Zhu for a lifetime.

Any slight abnormality in Sha Zhu could not escape her notice.

Problems must be identified and resolved promptly to ensure that Sha Zhu lives according to their established plan.

Sha Zhu will never escape her grasp and will be her slave for life.

Unfortunately, Bang Geng wasn't careful enough in the end, and Sha Zhu didn't freeze to death under the bridge pier.

If Shazhu had frozen to death, none of this would have happened.

"Silly Zhu, look at your memory. Didn't I just tell you?"

My mother-in-law has passed away, so I don't need to take care of her anymore. You can move to the west wing and live with your sister.

We are husband and wife, so we should live together.

You used to be so filial, but in order to take care of the elderly in the nursing home, we had to live separately.

There are no elderly people in the facility who need your care anymore. Now my husband and I can live together legitimately.

Silly Zhu, I've thought it over. All the misunderstandings between us are because we don't live together.

From now on, we'll live together, and we can talk things out face-to-face if anything comes up.

That way, there won't be any misunderstandings.

Sha Zhu was angered by Qin Huairu's shameless words.

He endured so many years of hardship, from a sixteen-year-old lad to a middle-aged man in his forties, before he finally managed to get married.

How could he possibly not want to sleep with his wife?

It was Qin Huairu who kept finding excuses not to sleep with him.

Except when he needed to ask Qin Huairu for help, Qin Huairu basically didn't let him move around.

Even if they sleep in the same bed, each person sleeps in their own blanket.

Later, using Xiao Dang and Xiao Huaihua as excuses, he was forced to go to Jia Zhangshi's room and sleep with her.

He's a fool too.

He was fooled by Yi Zhonghai and became so arrogant that he even considered living with the elderly as a sign of filial piety.

Little did he know that the people in the neighborhood were making fun of him.

Those who know him say he married the beautiful Qin Huairu, while those who don't might think he married the shrewish Jia Zhangshi.

Xu Damao laughed without restraint: "Silly Zhu, did you hear that? Qin Huairu wants you to serve her in bed. She chose you."

Qin Huai glared at Xu Damao, annoyed: "Can you shut up? This is between me and Sha Zhu and his wife, what's it to you?"

All the conflicts in our compound were stirred up by you.

Don't you just want Sha Zhu to take care of you in your old age?

I agreed on his behalf.

I'll have Bang Geng take care of you in your old age, so you can live the life of three old men for the rest of your days.

Please, stop causing trouble.

If you agree, I'll have Banggeng clean up your old house.

You move in with Jingru.

I promise I'll make Banggeng learn from Shazhu. He'll treat the elderly people in the yard the same way Shazhu does. If he does anything wrong, I'll discipline him."

In Qin Huairu's view, Xu Damao instigated Shazhu to make trouble with her in order to secure his retirement.

Yi Zhonghai, who had no descendants, started planning for retirement at only forty years old.

For his retirement, Yi Zhonghai was selecting a courtyard house.

Not only did they choose the legitimate caregiver, but they also found a backup plan and even made Xu Damao a target.

With Xu Damao as a target, Sha Zhu receives favors from Yi Zhonghai almost every day, and has long since incurred a huge debt of gratitude.

Compared to Yi Zhonghai, Xu Damao is far inferior.

It wasn't until I was over seventy that I started thinking about finding someone to take care of me in my old age.

An old man in his seventies, with no money and no assets, who will take care of him in his old age?

Xu Damao then set his sights on Sha Zhu.

He wanted to sow discord and get Sha Zhu to support him in his old age.

Qin Huairu utterly disdainful of Xu Damao's idea. Doesn't he even consider how old Sha Zhu is?

Over the years, he has worked like a slave for the Jia family and Yi Zhonghai, and his health has long since deteriorated.

Sha Zhu fainted once while taking care of Yi Zhonghai in the hospital.

During that medical check-up, the doctor said that Shazhu had many chronic diseases.

Sha Zhu originally wanted to recuperate, but she tricked him by using Yi Zhonghai's kindness to force him to take care of Yi Zhonghai while he was sick.

I was hoping to work Sha Zhu to death.

Surprisingly, Sha Zhu managed to pull through.

Having no other choice, she opted for another method: throwing Sha Zhu under the bridge and letting him freeze to death.

Sha Zhu is riddled with illnesses and has been beaten up; he definitely won't make it through.

Unexpectedly, another accident occurred.

What surprised Qin Huai even more was that Xu Damao, Sha Zhu's lifelong nemesis, actually braved the heavy snow to save Sha Zhu.

The hatred between the two was too deep to recount. Sha Zhu even had a son with Lou Xiao'e.

Given Xu Damao's petty nature, he would never save Sha Zhu for no reason.

If he went to save Sha Zhu, there could only be one purpose: to get Sha Zhu to take care of him in his old age.

Qin Huairu decided to cater to Xu Damao's preferences and use the promise of retirement to win him over.

She believed that Xu Damao would absolutely not be able to resist the temptation of retirement.

The way Sha Zhu took care of Yi Zhonghai and the others back then is something even one's own children wouldn't do.

Anyone in the world who needs retirement will find it absolutely impossible to resist this temptation.

If Xu Damao knew what Qin Huairu was thinking, he would definitely feel disgusted and want to vomit.

Do you think he doesn't know what kind of people the Jia family are?

Sha Zhu was so good to the Jia family; without Sha Zhu, the Jia family wouldn't be where they are today.

How did the Jia family handle this?

Before Yi Zhonghai's body was even cold, the Jia family turned their backs on him and kicked Sha Zhu out of their home.

If the Jia family can treat Sha Zhu like that, how could they possibly be expected to take care of him in his old age?

He's just as clueless as Sha Zhu.

"You really think your Banggeng is a treasure? That old bastard Yi Zhonghai doesn't even dare to let Banggeng take care of him in his old age, he insists on dragging Shazhu along."

And let me tell you, stop daydreaming.

My retirement is none of your business.

I have a younger sister, and my nephew will take care of me in my old age.

Qin Huairu chuckled: "You're just being stubborn."

When you sold the house, it almost drove your mother to her death. What did your sister do? She doesn't even care about her own parents, how could she possibly care about you?

Stop dreaming.

If I hadn't taken them in, you wouldn't have been able to see them one last time when you came back.

Xu Damao, I'm not trying to take credit.

At first, none of the three old men wanted your parents to move in, but I persuaded Shazhu to take them in.

I never imagined you would be such an ungrateful scoundrel.

I was so blind back then.

"Silly Zhu, don't forget what the old lady said: be wary of Xu Damao." (End of Chapter)
