Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

In the end, Director Qian and Director Han decided to persuade Yan Bugui to return the treasury bonds to those people.

Otherwise, if someone were to act foolishly and strike Yan Bugui, everyone would suffer the consequences.

"Yan Bugui, come with us for a moment."

"Director Han, you can't protect him."

"Yes, we can't protect him."

The debt collectors were unhappy when they saw that Director Han was going to take Yan Bugui away alone, and they started making a scene.

Director Han shouted, "Shut up, all of you! I brought Yan Bugui to discuss with him the matter of returning the treasury bonds to you."

If anyone causes trouble again, we'll stop interfering.

Those who came to collect the debt immediately shut their mouths, fearing that Director Han and Director Qian wouldn't take action.

Yan Bugui was displeased: "Director Han, you can't do this."

“Yan Bugui, if you don’t want to resolve this, we’ll just leave it at that. Let them sit in your house, eat and drink your food.”

Knowing who Yan Bugui was, Director Qian began to threaten him.

Yan Bugui was at a loss.

"Come with us." Director Han gave Yan Bugui a cold look.

At this moment, Yan Bugui thought of Yi Zhonghai again and took Yi Zhonghai's hand.

"Old Yi, you must help me."

Yi Zhonghai had just recovered, but he still harbored resentment towards the debt collectors.

Unable to retaliate against those demanding repayment, he decided to manipulate treasury bonds.

Therefore, even though he knew that Yan Bugui was going to use him, he still went with Yan Bugui.

Upon arriving at Director Han's office, Director Han said directly, "Yan Bugui, I hope you can return everyone's treasury bonds to him."

Yan Bugui refused outright: "No way, Director Han. I'm counting on those treasury bonds to break even."

You have no idea how much I sacrificed for those treasury bonds.

“I’ve investigated everything. You bought their treasury bonds for ninety-five dollars each. Just have them refund you.”

"That won't do. You're only calculating the money I've spent, not the effort, time, and brain cells I've invested, or the risks I've taken. Oh, and the bank interest too."

Yan Bugui gave all the reasons he could think of.

Director Han and Director Qian were both amused and exasperated by his reasoning.

"Then tell me, how much money should they give you?"

Yan Bugui hesitated for a moment, then said, "I don't need much, just one treasury bond, one hundred yuan will do."

Li Huaide said he was willing to pay 102 yuan to buy treasury bonds.

That proves one thing: treasury bonds are very valuable, otherwise Li Huaide wouldn't have been willing to spend so much money to buy them.

Yi Zhonghai didn't want those unfilial people to take advantage of him, so he stood up to oppose it.

"I don't think it'll work. I'm willing to accept the consequences of my bet."

It's clearly written in the newspaper; they don't read the newspaper themselves, so it's none of our business.

I don't think Lao Yan should have returned it to them.

Having witnessed their difficulty in dealing with him, Director Qian slammed his fist on the table and said, "Shut up!"

Don't think that just because you're older you can do whatever you want.

Based on what you just said, I could convict you of extortion.

The verdict has been handed down.

The two of them stiffened their necks and remained silent.

They're almost eighty years old; I don't believe the police would dare arrest them.

Unfortunately, their thinking was too simplistic.

Director Han has plenty of experience dealing with people like them.

He could tell that Yan Bugui was the kind of person who would rather die than part with his wealth.

"Director Qian, I'll take some men to bring the stolen money back."

"What stolen money?" Yan Bugui asked worriedly.

"Of course it's the embezzled funds and treasury bonds you obtained by deceiving the public," Director Han retorted loudly.

This was what Yan Bugui feared most, and he immediately burst into tears: "Director Han, you can't do this."

That's all money I earned through hard work.

“It’s stolen money now.” Director Han showed no sympathy whatsoever.

Director Qian impatiently urged, "Director Han, hurry up and go. Don't let him waste time." Under their combined pressure, Yan Bugui quickly gave in and agreed.

Yi Zhonghai was an observer, and he could see clearly that Director Han and Director Qian were putting on a show.

But he wasn't sure.

He was afraid that if what the two people said was true, then it would be troublesome.

Yan Bugui will definitely ask him for compensation when the time comes.

The police then took everyone back to courtyard number 95 and made Yan Bugui return the treasury bonds.

Those who brought money simply took their own treasury bonds.

Those who didn't bring any money also went out to find ways to get it.

During this period, some people even tried to extort money from Yan Bugui by overreporting the amount of treasury bonds.

That's dreaming.

Who is Yan Bugui?
He keeps records of everything that involves money.

He simply threw out the ledger, thus extinguishing the hopes of those who wanted to take advantage of the situation.

With leaders from the public security bureau and the local street office present, there weren't many people who dared to cause trouble.

Soon all the people who wanted to collect their debts left.

Yan Bugui suddenly collapsed to the ground and burst into tears.

He had worked hard for several days, but hadn't gained any advantage. How could he accept this?

Director Qian ignored him and even criticized him before leaving with his men.

Only then did the three women dare to help Yan Bugui up: "Old man, are you alright?"

"What do you think?" Having lost so much money, how could Yan Bugui be alright? "Help me home."

It's not over yet.

Given the magnitude of Yan Bugui's arrest, the third aunt had already called her children long ago.

Especially on Yan Jiedi's side, when the third aunt called, she didn't hesitate to spend money and kept begging her to talk to her son-in-law and release Yan Bugui.

At this point, all the children returned and understood the whole story.

There wasn't a single one of her four children who wasn't angry.

Yan Jiedi was the first to retort: ​​"You guys are really something. Even rabbits don't eat the grass near their burrows, but you're catching the grass right next to your burrow and eating it, aren't you?"

Yan Jiefang also started to make trouble: "I knew it. They don't think of me when it's a good time to make money, but they think of me when they're in trouble."

"Why didn't you think to let me know when you were making money?"

Yan Jiekuang shared the same thought as Yan Jiefang: "You guys are always thinking about hoarding everything, but when trouble comes, you should take responsibility yourselves. Why did you call us over?"

When making money, I take my older brother along; but when trouble comes, I don't want him to get involved.

Yan Jiecheng was displeased: "Jiekuang, how can you talk like that?"
You should be thankful that Dad didn't tell you about the treasury bonds.

Do you know what? Dad told me that the price of treasury bonds is ninety-eight yuan.

Now you know, he bought it for ninety-five yuan.

I even got ripped off by him for three yuan.

"I don't care, Dad, Mom, you have to give my money back."

Yan Bugui was so heartbroken that he couldn't speak.

The three women said angrily, "Don't you have any compassion? Our family has suffered such a huge loss, how can you still make sarcastic remarks?"

"Mom, what do you mean? You want us to compensate you for your losses?"

And you know what? The three aunties really did have that idea.

This has been a long-standing tradition in their family.

Yan Bugui would try to recoup his losses by taking money from his children when he returned home after losing money outside.

To pay off their debts, the children had to carry trash with them on their way to and from school.

They need to sell the garbage to pay back Yan Bugui's money; otherwise, with the interest compounding, they'll never be able to pay it back.

When the children saw this, they realized that their aunt really meant it, and they were furious.

Yan Jiecheng was the eldest, but also the one who suffered the most losses.

He was the first to lose his temper and angrily stepped forward, saying, "I gave Dad a total of 10,000 yuan, and now I'm taking my money back."

I'm not getting involved in Dad's business anymore.

He immediately started counting the money.

Yan Bugui and the third aunt tried to stop them, but none of the other three helped. (End of Chapter)
