Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

After reading the newspaper, Yan Bugui felt he had thoroughly understood the policy and then put it down.

He saw Yan Jiecheng staring at the newspaper, so he quickly turned the newspaper over to prevent him from seeing the treasury bond information.

I know my own son best.

Yan Jiecheng would never spend money to buy newspapers, so naturally he wouldn't know about the news on the treasury bonds.

Yan Jiecheng really didn't take the newspaper seriously, and he never imagined that today's events would be related to the newspaper.

Neither the father nor the son spoke; they simply stared at each other.

Finally, Yan Jiecheng couldn't hold back any longer and spoke first: "Dad, what do you want to see me about?"

"Can't I come to you if there's nothing wrong?" Yan Bugui retorted.

Yan Jiecheng said directly, "It's okay, you definitely won't look for me."

"you……"

Yan Bugui glared angrily at his son, but was powerless to refute him.

It's alright, he really won't look for his son. There's no benefit to be gained, and he'll only suffer losses.

For example, right now, the third aunt poured two cups of hot water for Yan Jiecheng and his wife.

There was no way to get the money for those two cups of hot water from Yan Jiecheng.

The three women on the side advised, "Old man, let's get down to business."

Yan Bugui then came to his senses: "Right, let's get down to business. Jie Cheng, it's a good thing that I asked you to come here this time."

"Yes, it's a good thing," the third auntie said with a smile, playing the straight man.

The more they said that, the less Yan Jiecheng believed it.

"Just say what you have to say, don't beat around the bush."

Yan Bugui snorted: "Who's going to beat around the bush with you? This is a really profitable business."

Just tell me if you're willing or not.

"Really?" Yan Jiecheng asked again.

The three women said, "Of course it's true. We're your parents, would we lie to you?"

"That's hard to say," Yan Jiecheng muttered softly.

It's not his fault; he was just taken advantage of too much as a child.

Yan Bugui and his wife also had their own calculations, but when facing outsiders, their stances were consistent.

The couple often teamed up to swindle their brothers.

The brothers were unable to work together and were constantly outmaneuvered by Yan Bugui and his wife.

Yan Bugui said, "Give me a straight answer, whether you're willing to participate or not."

If you don't want to, I'll go find Jiefang and Jie Kuang tomorrow.

Greed is ingrained in the Yan family.

Given the opportunity to make money, how could Yan Jiecheng possibly pass it up?

"Then tell me first, what kind of business is it?"

Yan Bugui said mysteriously, "If you say it, it won't work. Just tell me if you're willing or not."

Yan Jiecheng knew that Yan Bugui was afraid that if he found out, he would go it alone.

"Then tell me how we're going to split the profits."

Yan Bugui smiled smugly: "That's right. I'm the one who discovered the business. Your mother and I will definitely take the lion's share."

"I know. These are our family rules, you don't need to tell me." Yan Jiecheng didn't want to pay attention to Yan Bugui's petty behavior.

Yan Bugui continued, "Since you understand the rules, that's good. The lucrative business was discovered by your mother and me."

We want 80% of the profits.

"No, no. You take 80%, and we only get 20%, which isn't even enough to cover our hard-earned money."

"If you're going to do it this way, then forget about it." Yan Jiecheng refused without even thinking.

Yan Bugui's price-cutting was too ruthless.

With a profit margin of 20%, he didn't make much money at all.

Yan Bugui gave the Third Aunt a wink, signaling her to step forward.

"Jiecheng, what are you doing? You think I can ask for an exorbitant price and expect you to settle for less?"

If you think it's unreasonable, then how much do you want?

The couple always cooperated in this way to deal with their son.

Yan Jiecheng didn't know anything about the business yet, and fearing he would miss the opportunity to make money, he naturally wouldn't give up completely.

"I won't take more than my share; let's split it 50/50."

"No way." Now it was Yan Bugui's turn to think that Yan Jiecheng was asking for too much.

The three women felt sorry for the woman and said, "That's right, you're asking for too much."

So the two sides went back and forth, haggling over the price like they were in a war. In the end, they reached an agreement: Yan Jiecheng and his wife would take 30% of the profits.

When the smoke clears, peace will follow.

Yan Jiecheng was somewhat dissatisfied, but there was nothing he could do; Yan Bugui and his wife were simply too formidable.

"Now you can tell me, right? What kind of business do you do?"

Yan Bugui then opened the newspaper: "Take a look at this article yourself first."

Yan Jiecheng and his wife leaned their heads together and began to read intently.

After watching it, I didn't feel anything.

"What does this have to do with us?"

Yan Bugui slowly explained it to the two of them, and Yan Jiecheng finally understood what was going on.

Yan Jiecheng revealed a defiant expression. Given time, he would have found out about this too.

Yan Bugui said, "Don't be so unconvinced. If I didn't tell you, would you have known?"
In a few days, everyone will know, and even if you find out, it won't matter.

Yan Jiecheng had no choice.

The Yan family's rule is that you have to accept the consequences of your bet.

"I didn't say I was dissatisfied. What are your plans?"

Yan Bugui became smug again: "Your mother and I have made a plan. We'll go to the bank to withdraw money tomorrow, and then we'll buy treasury bonds nearby."

You can withdraw money tomorrow too, and we'll try to buy as much as possible.

Let me tell you, the two brothers, Bang Geng and Liu Guangtian, are both planning to do this.

I tricked them today and got them to give up for the time being.

But I can't guarantee when they'll realize it.

Yan Jiecheng said, "I'll go get the money tomorrow."

He then left with Hao Min.

The three aunties gave Yan Bugui a thumbs up: "You're really something."

"We take 70% of the profits, that's a lot of money."

Yan Bugui scoffed: "You're only thinking about 70% profit."

Let me tell you. We can even make a profit when we buy treasury bonds.

When we collect treasury bonds, no matter the purchase price, we'll tell Jiecheng that we bought them for 98 yuan.

The price difference is...

"It's ours," the third auntie blurted out.

Yan Bugui nodded in satisfaction.

The couple, dreaming of getting rich, started looking for their savings book.

Yan Jiecheng and his wife returned home.

Hao Min complained, "I always feel like we've been tricked by our parents."

Yan Jiecheng said, "They tricked me. You've already lost, so don't dwell on it."

Hao Min said with dissatisfaction, "Why shouldn't I think about it? That's a lot of money."

"Haven't you heard that Li Huaide is asking for 102 yuan?"

Yan Jiecheng chuckled: "Don't be in such a hurry. I've thought it all out. Let's pool some money and work with Dad."

Behind the scenes, we do it secretly.

Go to your parents' house. They won't know you're going there.

Hao Min's eyes lit up immediately: "You're quick-witted. I'll take the money and go back to my parents' home tomorrow."

Yan Jiecheng quickly reminded Hao Min not to let her father-in-law's family take too much advantage.

Hao Min rolled her eyes at him: "I know, do you think everyone's family is like your parents'?"

"Who would have thought that Liu Guangtian and his gang, who were Xu Damao's errand boys, would have this opportunity?"

Yan Jiecheng said, "This is just a small amount of money. If He Yuzhu is willing to take them along, that would be real money."

Hao Min said, "Forget about He Yuzhu. Don't you even know what kind of things Dad has been doing?"

If he hadn't offended He Yuzhu, we would have made a fortune long ago.

He's still completely unrepentant and hangs out with that old man.

He was Yan Jiecheng's father after all; even if he wasn't asked to contribute money, he still had filial piety.

"That's because Shazhu is disobedient. If he listened to his elders, would my dad target him?"

Yan Jiecheng had never gotten the better of He Yuzhu since he was a child.

For these people, preventing others from taking advantage of them is their enemy.

He harbored a deep resentment towards He Yuzhu. (End of Chapter)
