Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

Chapter 2459 Little Dang's Capital

The Jia family also began to take action.

After several days of spreading the word, the Jia family felt that the time was right and began the second phase of their operation.

After much deliberation, they chose Xiao Dang to step forward first.

Firstly, Xiao Dang is Sha Zhu's most beloved stepdaughter.

During those three years of famine, Qin Huairu's pretext for borrowing money from Sha Zhu was actually the newborn Xiao Dang.

It can be said that Xiao Dang was raised by Sha Zhu using the food he and He Yushui provided.

Secondly, Xiao Dang and He Xiao had a relationship, although it didn't work out, but wasn't it ruined by Lou Xiao'e?

Xiao Dang has the identities of both a stepdaughter and a daughter-in-law, and is the closest to Sha Zhu.

When Sha Zhu returned from the toilet, he was blocked at the door by Xiao Dang.

"Silly Dad."

Sha Zhu sized up Xiao Dang, becoming more wary.

Whenever the Jia family wanted to see him, they would call him by this title affectionately.

"What's the matter?"

Just like when they were kids, Xiao Dang walked up to Sha Zhu and hugged his arm.

Sha Zhu immediately sensed Xiao Dang's granary and even compared it in his mind with Qin Huairu's.

It's a bit small.

In terms of capital, Qin Huairu's is still the biggest.

But being big is useless.

Sha Zhu is over seventy years old. Although he doesn't use that thing much anymore, it's no longer effective.

If Xu Damao was ruined by messing around, then Sha Zhu was ruined by holding back.

Qin Huairu was only responsible for starting fires, not for putting them out; he would run away after each one.

Sha Zhu can only keep that thing to himself.

Little Dang was unaware of Sha Zhu's thoughts and began to act coquettishly, just like when she was a child.

"Silly Dad, I know I was wrong, please forgive us."

Sha Zhu knew that the Jia family was plotting against him and wanted to know what their plot was, so he pretended to be friendly with Xiao Dang.

"Then tell me, where did you go wrong?"

This left Xiao Dang speechless for a moment. She couldn't very well say that the mistake was kicking Sha Zhu out of the house.

That wasn't an admission of wrongdoing; it was a reminder to Shazhu to continue hating them.

"Oh dear, silly dad, why are you being so petty and calculating, just like Uncle San?"

I've already apologized to you, what more do you want?

Seeing Xiao Dang acting cute, Sha Zhu was reminded of how Qin Huairu looked when she came looking for him back then, and he felt nauseous.

Sha Zhu, barely suppressing his nausea, replied dismissively to Xiao Dang, "Is this how you admit your mistake?"

Xiao Dang, supporting Sha Zhu, walked towards the yard: "Silly Dad, I really know I was wrong."

Actually, we can't really blame ourselves.

We know that my father was killed by that old bastard Yi Zhonghai, and we resent him.

That's why..."

Having heard so many speculations, Sha Zhu wanted to hear what the Jia family had to say, so he continued to give Xiao Dang the runaround.

"Your father was killed by Yi Zhonghai? Who told you that? That old bastard Yi Zhonghai was so good to your father back then."

Even a biological father can't compare to his love for his son.

At the time, many people said, "Yi Zhonghai is your father's real son."

A hint of anger and disdain flashed in Xiao Dang's eyes.

Just as she was about to speak, Xu Damao came out of the house.

"Silly Zhu, where did you go?"

Then Xu Damao saw Xiao Dang next to Sha Zhu and his face turned cold: "Sha Zhu, are you being a jerk?"

Sha Zhu said, "Xu Damao, shut up! Xiao Dang just said that Dongxu was killed by Yi Zhonghai."

I'd like to hear what happened.

"Xiao Dang, ignore him and come inside with me. Let's talk this out."

Xu Damao was about to speak when he saw Sha Zhu giving him meaningful glances, so he chose to keep quiet.

"I think you're just incorrigible."

Sha Zhu deliberately rubbed against Xiao Dang's granary before pulling Xiao Dang into the house.

This action was only remembered when he saw Xu Damao. To him, the Jia family was no longer relatives, but mortal enemies. Xiao Dang was not his stepdaughter, but the murderer who wanted to kill him.

Xu Damao was able to marry Qin Jingru while sleeping with Qin Huairu at the same time.

Why can't he freeload off Xiao Dang's granary?

Xiao Dang didn't care and even deliberately stuck to Sha Zhu.

She came here to fool Sha Zhu. If she could get him to obey her after a little slapping, she wouldn't mind.

She wouldn't even mind if Sha Zhu were willing to give her half of the family fortune; she'd even take off her clothes and let Sha Zhu rub against her a couple of times.

Xiao Dang knew very well what kind of guts Sha Zhu had. Back then, when Qin Huairu took her clothes off, Sha Zhu didn't even dare to look.

Xiao Dang didn't suspect Sha Zhu at all and followed him into the house.

Sha Zhu was also wicked; after entering the house, he led Xiao Dang closer to Xu Damao.

He deliberately brought Xiao Dang to Xu Damao's side: "Aren't you curious about how Brother Dongxu died?"

As he spoke, Sha Zhu pushed Xiao Dang into Xu Damao's arms.

Xu Damao lost his balance and reached out to grab onto the granary.

Whether Xu Damao did it intentionally or unintentionally, he held onto Xiao Dang's granary tightly and started cursing Sha Zhu.

"Are you crazy? Do you even know how old I am?"

Sha Zhu didn't care what Xu Damao was cursing; he just stared at Xu Damao's actions.

He didn't know what others thought, but he guessed that Xu Damao must have done it on purpose.

"Alright, how would I know you can't even stand up straight?"

When Xiao Dang was captured at the grain depot, he tried to break free, but when he heard Xu Damao cursing Sha Zhu, he stopped moving.

Everyone knew that Sha Zhu and Xu Damao didn't get along. She instinctively thought that Sha Zhu would stand up for her.

If Sha Zhu stands out, she can seize the opportunity to make trouble.

If we could get Sha Zhu and Xu Damao to fall out, that would be the best outcome.

Xiao Dang not only didn't dodge, but also leaned closer to Xu Damao's arms.

She was still waiting for Sha Zhu to step forward, but instead she saw Sha Zhu casually say something and then turn around and sit down.

Xiao Dang was dumbfounded.

Xu Damao realized what was happening and even instinctively pinched it.

It has less capital than Qin Huairu.

Xu Damao gave the same answer as Sha Zhu, and then let go with some disappointment.

He glanced at Sha Zhu somewhat awkwardly, but seeing that Sha Zhu didn't care at all, he stopped caring too.

"Jia Dongxu didn't die in a workplace accident, so what else is there to say?"

Sha Zhu said, "Xiao Dang just told me that Jia Dongxu was killed by Yi Zhonghai."

Xiao Dang, tell me what exactly happened?

Seeing that the two didn't care about the granary, Xiao Dang didn't press the matter and could only curse them in his heart.

“Silly Dad, Uncle-in-law, here’s what happened. Back then, our family was poor, and Yi Zhonghai was my dad’s mentor. He was also counting on my dad to support us in our old age.”

He should have helped our family more.

But what about him?

He was reluctant to spend the money and even asked my dad for the debt, saying that the family couldn't make ends meet.

My dad argued with him for a bit, and then he tampered with the machine, killing my dad.

This reason was, of course, fabricated by the Jia family. If they wanted to portray Yi Zhonghai as a villain, they needed to concoct multiple charges against him.

Sha Zhu was taken aback: "Your dad had a fight with Yi Zhonghai? When did that happen?"

Xiao Dang sighed: "It was a few days before my dad had the accident."

"Impossible. If they had argued back then, everyone would have known." Sha Zhu and Xu Damao didn't quite believe this explanation.

Xiao Dang said, "They didn't argue in the courtyard. They argued outside."

"That's impossible. Even if you beat Jia Dongxu to death, he wouldn't dare to argue with Yi Zhonghai." Xu Damao didn't believe this at all.

Jia Dongxu was a well-behaved boy, the most obedient person in the courtyard.

If he hadn't been obedient, Yi Zhonghai wouldn't have valued him so much.

Xu Damao could believe anyone who argued with Yi Zhonghai, but he didn't believe Jia Dongxu who argued with Yi Zhonghai at all.

Not to mention Xu Damao, even Sha Zhu wouldn't believe this.

Sha Zhu knew all too well that even a snort from Yi Zhonghai could make Jia Dongxu tremble. (End of Chapter)
