Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

Chapter 2493 Robbing a Restaurant

"Silly Zhu, where have you been? Do you know how worried I was about you?"

The performance was very realistic, and the emotions conveyed were also quite good.

Those who don't know the truth might think that Qin Huairu genuinely cares about Sha Zhu's safety.

Everyone present knew the truth, and they all immediately turned to Sha Zhu, wanting to see how he would react.

As everyone knows, Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu have fallen out. But with a touch of mischievousness, people want to see if Sha Zhu will relapse into his old ways and reconcile with Qin Huairu again.

Sha Zhu looked coldly at Qin Huairu: "You're worried that if I don't die, it will affect your ability to seize our family's property, aren't you?"

I'm sorry to disappoint you.

I, Sha Zhu, am still alive and well.

A flash of anger crossed Qin Huairu's eyes, but she pretended not to understand what Sha Zhu was saying.

"Look at you, how old are you, why are you acting like a child?"

What's past is past. We need to look forward.

We're not young anymore, why let a small misunderstanding make us a laughingstock?

I apologize to you, isn't that enough?

Let's go.

"When I get back, I'll have Banggeng prepare some good wine and food to welcome you back."

Qin Huairu took the initiative to walk over and support Sha Zhu, wanting to show others the loving scene between the couple.

Sha Zhu shook off Qin Huairu's hand and went straight into the courtyard.

Xu Damao chuckled: "You still think Sha Zhu is that idiot you used to toy with?

Given Sha Zhu's condition, the Jia family had long suspected Xu Damao as the culprit.

The Jia family now hates Xu Damao more than they hate Sha Zhu.

Just as Qin Huairu was feeling embarrassed after being thrown off by Sha Zhu, Xu Damao bumped into her again.

Qin Huairu immediately vented her anger on Xu Damao.

"Xu Damao, what exactly are you trying to do? What good will it do you to sow discord between me and Shazhu?"

If you want someone to take care of you in your old age, I can arrange for a hamster to take care of you.

However, I hope you will stop trying to sow discord all the time.

Of all your former neighbors in the courtyard, does any of them still keep in touch with you?

You should seriously reflect on why this happened.

After scolding Xu Damao, Qin Huairu swayed her big buttocks and went back to the courtyard house.

Before coming here, Han Yue had heard about Qin Huairu's situation and had also seen the investigation his colleagues had secretly conducted.

He was very curious about the people in the courtyard house. He especially wanted to see what kind of people Yi Zhonghai and his companions were.

Unfortunately, Yi Zhonghai and his several managers are already dead, so we can only look to Qin Huairu, the ultimate beneficiary.

This encounter was quite an eye-opener for him.

Even though the two had become mortal enemies, Qin Huairu could not only pretend that nothing had happened, but also act like a loving couple in front of so many neighbors.

This was truly beyond his comprehension.

Xu Damao ignored Qin Huairu's scolding and invited Han Yue in.

At this point, everyone noticed Han Yue, but not many people cared.

Liu Guangtian asked curiously, "Who is he?"

Xu Damao said with a smile, "We invited them to help."

"Help? Help with what?" Liu Guangtian asked, puzzled.

Xu Damao formally introduced: "Naturally, I'll help manage the restaurant."

Since the restaurant is half owned by Sha Zhu, we definitely need to find a trustworthy person to keep an eye on it.

Otherwise, what if someone sells me out?

Upon hearing this, the neighbors all looked over curiously.

After the restaurant was transferred to Qin Huairu's name, it became part of the Jia family.

Of the Jia family's children, only Banggeng works in a ministry; the rest all work in restaurants.

The Jia family has taken complete control of the restaurant, and even Sha Zhu can't get involved.

It's been so many years, and Sha Zhu is bringing people to fight Qin Huairu for control of the restaurant.

"Is he the guy you hired to rob the restaurant?"

Xu Damao was somewhat dissatisfied with this statement: "What do you mean by 'robbing a restaurant'?"

The restaurant originally belonged to Sha Zhu; it was the Jia family who took it away.

"Since Sha Zhu has fallen out with the Jia family, he naturally wants to get the restaurant back."

Han Yue's purpose in coming here was to make contact with Mike. However, Mike rarely came to the courtyard house, and even when he did, Han Yue didn't have many opportunities to interact with him. To have more reasons to contact Mike, Han Yue's task became to seize control of the restaurant.

The restaurant manager is Xiao Dang. If Xiao Dang is no match for Han Yue, Mike will definitely have to step in.

As long as Mike makes a move, Han Yue will have a formal reason to contact Mike.

He used the pretext of helping Sha Zhu seize the family fortune, so he didn't have to worry about Mike suspecting him.

Liu Guangtian was a little unhappy: "Brother Da Mao, what you're doing is wrong."

If Sha Zhu wants to regain control of the restaurant, he can come to us.

If a few of us step in, we guarantee we'll help him get the restaurant back.

How could you hire outsiders?

“Yes, that’s right.” Liu Guangfu and the others were also unhappy.

The houses in the courtyard are lifeless; there's no profit to be made from them.

Restaurants are different. They generate a lot of revenue every day. They've long had their eyes on controlling the restaurants.

Xu Damao glanced at them and said, "You guys want the restaurant? Fine, then take it back if you can."

"If you take it back, you can manage the restaurant."

Based on the rumors he had just heard, Xu Damao concluded that Liu Guangtian and his group were dishonest.

He then turned the tables on them, sowing discord between these people and the Jia family.

In any case, the more chaotic the courtyard is, the more advantageous it is for them.

Han Yue glanced at Liu Guangtian and the others, then followed Xu Damao inside.

He memorized all the information about Liu Guangtian and the others.

After reading the information, he felt quite sympathetic towards the group.

There's nothing we can do; these guys just happened to have such eccentric fathers.

One father is obsessed with officialdom and only knows how to beat his children; the other father is obsessed with money and only cares about money.

Yan Jiefang said with dissatisfaction, "What kind of look is that? He looks down on us."

Liu Guangtian spat, "Grandma. He's an outsider, what right does he have to look down on us?"

I refuse to believe it. He can wrest control of the restaurant from the Jia family.

“I don’t believe it either. Let’s just wait and see them make a fool of themselves,” Liu Guangfu said.

Several people went into the courtyard house and closed the door, preventing the neighbors from going in to watch the commotion.

During the days that Sha Zhu was missing, the Jia family knocked on Sha Zhu's lock and threw out the things inside the house.

Sha Zhu is back; he's bound to cause a scene.

Sha Zhu was indeed causing trouble.

Once inside the courtyard, he discovered that the lock on the door had been changed.

Sha Zhu immediately knew that the Jia family was behind it. He had thought of this even before he returned.

Sha Zhu didn't care much about other things.

What he truly cared about was the medicinal wine He Yuzhu had given him. Nothing else mattered as much as the medicinal wine.

"Yang Feng, hurry up and break the lock for me."

"Don't smash it." Qin Huairu came over to stop them.

Sha Zhu stared intently at Qin Huairu: "Take out the key."

Qin Huairu is unwilling to give up the house.

Sha Zhu's house is the main house, which represents the status of the head of the family.

Even if it's just an empty title, she wants to take it back.

“Shazhu, let Banggeng have this room. My mother-in-law has passed away, so it’s perfect for you and my sister to live in the west wing.”

We're husband and wife, it's only natural for us to live together.

Sha Zhu wasn't buying it. Qin Huairu was already seventy-six; an old woman like her had long lost her appeal.

"Open the door for me."

“Silly Zhu…” Qin Huai looked at Silly Zhu with teary eyes.

"Open."

Xu Damao walked in and said directly, "Why waste your breath talking to her? Just break the lock and that's it."

Yang Feng broke the lock.

Qin Huairu couldn't stop him and could only watch helplessly as Yang Feng broke the lock.

Xu Damao entered the room and was relieved to see that the wine cabinet was intact. (End of Chapter)
