Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

The conflict has been resolved.

At least that's what Yi Zhonghai thinks.

With the conflict resolved, the next step is to figure out how to make money.

Yi Zhonghai was well aware of his shortcomings; he couldn't do without Liu Haizhong when it came to buying and selling treasury bonds.

He is not good at communicating with others, and he is too embarrassed to bargain with others.

This kind of work can only be assigned to Liu Guangtian and his partner.

"Old Liu, don't be angry. Let's discuss how to do it."

He thought Liu Haizhong would be very proactive in discussing things with him, but in reality, Liu Haizhong remained indifferent.

"Old Liu, you're the one who wanted to buy and sell treasury bonds, and I've already agreed. Why are you suddenly silent?"

If you're not going to say anything, then what are you making a scene for?

Yan Bugui resented Liu Haizhong for causing trouble and making him lose face, and he was even more resentful that Liu Haizhong had made things too big, preventing him from lowering the price.

When he saw Yi Zhonghai trying to trick Liu Haizhong, he didn't hold back.

"Old Liu, you wouldn't be so petty, would you?"

"Nonsense!" Liu Haizhong retorted angrily. "Go ask around and see when I've ever been petty."

"Then tell me, what are you planning to do? Lao Yi and I will listen to you." Yan Bugui said with a smug look on his face, seeing that Liu Hai had fallen for his trap.

Hearing that both of them were listening to him, Liu Haizhong became carried away and said, "Hey, Guangtian, tell them your thoughts."

He wanted to show off, but unfortunately, he lacked the ability and couldn't say anything meaningful.

Liu Guangtian said directly, "What's the point of doing anything? I'm not doing it anymore."

They are not stupid.

Yi Zhonghai and Yan Bugui clearly wanted to get something for nothing.

He didn't want his efforts to benefit someone else.

Liu Guangfu saw his expression and chimed in, "Everyone knows, so what's the point? I'm quitting."

We're going on a business trip with Xu Damao tomorrow.

Seeing that both of his sons said so, Liu Haizhong didn't care. Anyway, his family wasn't short of money, so there was no need for him to do this.

Yi Zhonghai and Yan Bugui were getting anxious.

Everyone knows that treasury bonds are bought and sold in places like Shanghai and Guangzhou. But since no one runs errands, even if they buy treasury bonds, they can't sell them.

"Guangtian, Guangfu, what's wrong with you two? Why do you have to go against your father?"

Yi Zhonghai knew he had little face in front of the Liu brothers, so he could only drag Liu Haizhong into it.

Liu Haizhong fell for the trap as expected, staring wide-eyed as he was about to speak.

Liu Guangtian spoke first: "Uncle, how did we go against my dad? He's the one who doesn't want to buy or sell treasury bonds, what does that have to do with us?"

Don't try to sow discord.

With the brothers united, Liu Guangfu did not back down when he saw Liu Guangtian confront Yi Zhonghai.

"That's right. We had already discussed it with my dad. If you hadn't lied to him, our family would have started doing it already."

Now you've gone back on your word and want us to take the lead again? Dream on.

After the two brothers said that, Liu Haizhong came to his senses and inwardly resented Yi Zhonghai for trying to deceive him.

"That's enough. Old Yi, I'll let it go since you don't have a son. You can all leave."

Liu Haizhong can swear that mentioning Yi Zhonghai's lack of a son was an unintentional slip of the tongue.

Yi Zhonghai didn't believe it. He glared angrily at Liu Haizhong and got up to leave.

Qin Huairu said helplessly, "Old Liu, how could you say that? Old Yi was just trying to be helpful."

You...

Liu Haizhong might give Yi Zhonghai face, but that doesn't mean he'll give Qin Huairu face.

"What's wrong with me? Qin Huairu, don't think I don't know what you're thinking? If you want to buy and sell treasury bonds, you should go ask Lao Yi for the money first."

If Qin Huai had no other choice, and indeed needed to strike while the iron was hot, he had to go to Yi Zhonghai for money, so he had no choice but to go to Yi Zhonghai first.

The main reason is that people with bangs are easier to fool; they're not in a hurry.

Yan Bugui left last: "Old Liu, don't you know what Old Yi is most worried about?"

How could you say that about them?

Liu Haizhong snorted, "You still have the nerve to say that. If you hadn't resorted to underhanded tactics behind my back, would I be angry?" "You...you're simply unreasonable."

Yan Bugui said angrily and then turned and left.

Beasts never think they've done anything wrong.

With a single, incomprehensible remark, the blame was shifted onto Liu Haizhong.

Those who don't know the situation might think that Liu Haizhong has done something wrong.

After everyone else had left, Liu Guangtian smiled, poured himself a cup of tea, and slowly drank it.

Liu Haizhong couldn't stand his attitude: "Are you satisfied now?"

"Satisfied." Liu Guangtian didn't hide anything and even laughed.

"You little brat, you're just stirring up trouble!" Liu Haizhong was so angry he wanted to hit someone.

Auntie Er quickly came over: "Guangtian, apologize to your father right away."

"Did you two think about your father's feelings when you did what you just did?"

Liu Guangtian said, "Mom, I did it on purpose."

"Why?" Auntie Er was very confused.

Yi Zhonghai had already agreed to let them do business buying and selling treasury bonds. Why refuse?

Liu Guangtian explained, "Of course, it's because I don't want to work with them."

We are clearly capable of doing this ourselves, so why should we partner with him?

Liu Guangfu quickly added, "That's right. It's our own business, why should he agree?"

He's just a regular neighbor; what right does he have to interfere in our family affairs?

Auntie Er was taken aback for a moment, then realized that what her two sons said made sense.

They are neighbors with Yi Zhonghai, and they run their own business. Why should Yi Zhonghai agree to their demands?

"Even if what you're saying makes sense, you shouldn't deliberately upset your dad."

“If I don’t deliberately provoke him, he’ll agree to Uncle Yi’s request. Uncle Yi and Uncle San never think of our family when good things happen.”

When trouble comes, our family is the first one they push out.

"Dad has been fooled so many times."

Liu Guangtian didn't give Liu Haizhong any face at all.

Liu Haizhong knew he was in the wrong and had no way to refute it, so he could only sit there and sulk.

Auntie Er was afraid of upsetting Liu Haizhong, so she had to change the subject.

"Didn't you say that everyone in the neighborhood knows? Can we still do it?"

“People around here know, but people elsewhere don’t. You take out the money, we’ll go elsewhere to buy it, and then we’ll sell it, isn’t that fine?” Liu Guangfu said.

Acquiring the goods nearby would have been convenient, but Yan Bugui beat them to it, so they had no choice but to give up.

Fortunately, China is a large country, and not many people know this news. They can acquire it elsewhere just as easily.

Auntie Er thought the plan was feasible, so she turned to Liu Haizhong and said, "How about I go and withdraw the money tomorrow?"

Money is the most crucial thing.

Without money, you can't do anything.

The Liu family's money was held by the second aunt, but the right to use it was in Liu Haizhong's hands.

Liu Haizhong thought for a moment and then agreed: "Go get the money."

He knew that Yan Bugui had bought other people's treasury bonds for ninety-five yuan.

Even if sold at face value of 100 yuan, you can still make 5 yuan profit per ticket.

Liu Guangtian said, "Why wait until tomorrow? Let's go now before the bank closes."

“Yes, my brother and I will go with you. We'll also buy some food and drinks to celebrate our success,” Liu Guangfu added.

The second aunt glanced at Liu Haizhong, and seeing that he didn't object, she got up to get the bankbook.

“Old man, you rest at home for a while. I’ll go with Guangtian and Guangfu to get the money.”

The mother and her two children went out together.

Feeling extremely frustrated, Liu Hai went back to bed to rest. (End of Chapter)
