Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

Watching Liu Guangfu run out, Lao Qi felt a little numb.

He had promised Yan Bugui that he would not tell anyone.

"Guangtian, why did you call your dad over? We were just chatting, there was no need to call him."

Liu Guangtian said, "Old Qi, don't worry, it's alright. As long as you tell the truth, I guarantee you won't suffer any losses."

He calmed down Lao Qi, while Liu Guangfu pulled Liu Haizhong out the door.

Yi Zhonghai and Yan Bugui both saw it and asked curiously, "Old Liu, where are you going?"

Liu Haizhong was about to speak when Liu Guangfu stopped him: "I'm taking my dad to find my older brother."

You can't say you're going to a restaurant outside.

Once you say it, Yan Bugui will follow you one hundred percent.

Yan Bugui went along, and those people wouldn't tell the truth.

It's not fair to say they've had a conflict with outsiders; if we did, Yi Zhonghai would be the one who went with them.

Only if they say they are going to find Liu Guangqi will Yi Zhonghai and Yan Bugui not follow.

Yi Zhonghai instinctively sensed something was wrong and subconsciously said, "Your father is so old, there's no need for him to go in person."

"You and Guangtian can go and call your older brother over."

“We need to have that ability too. Uncle, don’t you want my older brother to come back?” Liu Guangfu retorted slightly.

Yi Zhonghai's face immediately darkened: "How dare you talk like that? What does it have to do with me whether your older brother comes back or not?"

I'm just worried about your dad; he's so old, and he has to travel such a long way with you all.

Liu Guangfu hated Yi Zhonghai, so he was less afraid: "It's okay, I'll flag down a car and let my dad go."

Yi Zhonghai was speechless and hoped that Liu Haizhong would step in.

Liu Haizhong harbored resentment towards Yi Zhonghai, so he didn't stand up for him.

When Yi Zhonghai saw Liu Haizhong doing this, he was instantly enraged and lost his temper.

He simply snorted and turned to go home.

Liu Guangfu ignored him and, pulling Liu Haizhong along, went to the restaurant.

Upon arriving at the restaurant, they quickly learned the truth.

Liu Haizhong seemed unable to accept it: "Are you serious?"

"Of course it's true. It's not like I'm the only one selling treasury bonds to Teacher Yan."

Liu Guangtian said, "Dad, did you hear that? Uncle Yi and Uncle San are stopping you from making money."

They're secretly buying treasury bonds behind your back.

Do you still believe them?

Liu Haizhong was furious. He slammed his hand on the table, knocking over the wine bottles.

"I'm going to settle accounts with them."

Liu Haizhong stormed off, and Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu wanted to follow him.

Old Qi pulled Liu Guangtian aside: "You still haven't told me what happened?"

Liu Guangtian said, "Go find the newspapers from a few days ago. They said that on April 21st, the legal circulation of treasury bonds was permitted."

You sold it to that old man for ninety-five yuan; you lost money.

After saying that, he shook off Lao Qi's hand and went to chase after Liu Haizhong and Liu Guangfu.

Old Qi looked at Old Huang with a puzzled expression: "What does he mean?"

Old Huang had a guess in his mind, but he wasn't sure: "Why ask? Just find the newspaper and you'll understand."

Those who heard the news went out to find newspapers.

Some clever ones, judging from Liu Haizhong's appearance, guessed that he was going to argue with Yan Bugui.

They then went to courtyard number 95.

Before even entering the courtyard, one could hear Liu Haizhong's angry roar.

"Yi Zhonghai, Yan Bugui, you two come out here."

Yi Zhonghai stormed home, and Yan Bugui followed him in, naturally not doing anything good.

With Yan Bugui fanning the flames, Yi Zhonghai became even angrier.

Hearing Liu Haizhong call him by his name directly, he couldn't hold back any longer.

"Liu Haizhong, what are you trying to do?"

Three old men arguing is quite a rare occurrence, and the people in the courtyard quickly gathered and hid to watch the spectacle.

Liu Haizhong was so angry that he blurted out, "What do I want to do?"
I'd also like to ask you two what you're up to?

I've always been accommodating to you because none of you are filial.

I never expected to give up two ungrateful wretches. This passage contains not a single swear word, yet it is more scathing than direct insults.

Yi Zhonghai and Yan Bugui were furious, their eyes red as they glared at Liu Haizhong.

If it weren't for Liu Haizhong's two sons standing beside him, who knew they couldn't win, they might have joined forces to deal with Liu Haizhong.

Qin Huairu was also somewhat unhappy.

Everyone in the compound knows that she is responsible for taking care of Yi Zhonghai's old age.

To say that Yi Zhonghai has no filial sons is to say that she is unfilial.

"Old Liu, if you have a problem with me, just say so."

Liu Haizhong was not one to show mercy to women, and when he saw Qin Huairu step forward, he didn't hold back.

"Qin Huairu, stop pretending."

If it weren't for Guangtian and Guangfu taking Banggeng with them, would your Banggeng be able to make money with Xu Damao?

"I didn't stop you from making money, so why are you making things difficult for our family and preventing us from earning money?"

Qin Huairu was dumbfounded. She hadn't expected Liu Haizhong's firepower to be so intense, actually launching a direct attack at her.

Tang Yanling stepped forward with a frown: "Uncle Guangtian, Uncle Guangfu, what exactly happened?"
"Bang Geng has been working diligently these past few days, doing absolutely nothing."

Liu Guangfu said angrily, "Tang Yanling, don't pretend."

It refers to treasury bonds.

You're blocking our family's way, preventing us from doing business.

So, you guys did it yourselves in secret.

Tell me, shouldn't you all be scolding them?

Tang Yanling was dumbfounded, so she went back to her parents' home and asked them to help purchase treasury bonds.

The news couldn't have spread that fast.

If everyone knew this, how would she make money?

Tang Yanling quickly came to her senses; the news definitely hadn't come from her family.

Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu had just returned from Tianjin and couldn't possibly know about her family's affairs.

"Uncle Guangtian, my family really didn't do it. We don't have any money, so even if we wanted to, we couldn't."

Yan Bugui's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately realized something was wrong.

If people find out he's doing this secretly, it'll be troublesome.

"Old Liu, there must be some misunderstanding here. Let's go to Old Yi's house and talk it out properly."

Qin Huairu also came to her senses and said, "Old Liu, our family really didn't secretly buy treasury bonds."

You can't wrongly accuse me.

She was indeed wronged, and the tears she shed were much more sincere.

Liu Haizhong's head was throbbing from the words of several people.

"Don't try to deny it. I just asked our neighbors. Old Yan and his wife were even buying treasury bonds from them today."

Qin Huairu stopped crying as soon as she heard Yan Bugui's name.

"Old Yan, you..."

Not only Qin Huairu, but also Tang Yanling and Yi Zhonghai began to have doubts about Yan Bugui.

Yan Bugui felt bitter inside and couldn't find a reason to explain himself.

"I just wanted to try it out, to see if it was true. I..."

Yi Zhonghai is too angry right now.

He initially thought Liu Haizhong was being unreasonable, and he was even thinking about how to teach Liu Haizhong a lesson in morality.

As it turned out, Yan Bugui actually became a traitor.

"Old Yan, you've gone too far."

Tang Yanling sized up Yi Zhonghai and Yan Bugui, and began to have doubts about the two men.

She was also angry at Yi Zhonghai's opposition at the time, so she directly blamed Yi Zhonghai.

"Dad, didn't you tell us you wouldn't buy or sell treasury bonds?"

"How could you betray us and team up with Uncle San?"

Qin Huairu also looked at Yi Zhonghai with a suspicious gaze. She knew Yi Zhonghai well and knew he was capable of such a thing.

"Zhonghai, you really..."

The unfinished words were more damaging than the finished words.

Yi Zhonghai shouted, frustrated, "I didn't!" (End of Chapter)
