Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

After waiting for a while, Liu Guangtian became a little anxious when he saw that the two of them still didn't speak.

"Are you going to talk or not? If you don't want to, then forget it."

"Once Uncle San's entire fortune has been given away, it will be too late for you to say anything."

The Yan brothers were taken aback upon hearing this, and a complex expression appeared in their eyes.

"You mean... this matter is related to our family's assets?"

Seeing the Liu brothers nod, the Yan brothers' expressions became even more complicated.

Yan Bugui began feigning poverty as soon as he entered the courtyard house. Over time, everyone was gradually fooled by his performance.

As Yan Bugui's children, they did not believe what Yan Bugui said.

When they were children, they had personally overheard Yan Bugui and his wife discussing money late at night.

They had also seen Yan Bugui and his wife secretly hiding money.

Of course, they didn't know the exact amount of money.

Yan Bugui and his wife were hidden too well; they couldn't find them.

"You tell me first, what exactly is going on?"

Liu Guangfu said with disdain, "Why are you all so slow?"

We heard from others that an old man told your dad and my dad that we are all unfilial sons.

An old man wants to team up with your dad and my dad to provide for the Jia family in their old age.

Use your brains.

Can the Jia family provide them with free elderly care?

If our two families don't give money to the Jia family, how can the Jia family support them in their old age?

"If this isn't about stealing your family's money, then what is it?"

Upon hearing this, the Yan brothers, Jiefang and Yan Jie, became extremely angry.

"Are you sure these words were spoken by an old man?"

"We came to you because we weren't sure."

If Uncle San also talks to you about retirement, then it's settled.

Now, the Yan brothers no longer hid anything and directly admitted to the discussion that day.

Liu Guangtian said, "It seems this is true. I think we can't let this happen."

We must find a way to stop it.

“How can we stop it? Will your dad listen to you, or will my dad listen to us?” Yan Jiekuang said.

“They definitely won’t listen to us,” Liu Guangtian said. “They’ve always thought of themselves as local tyrants in the courtyard. When have they ever listened to anyone else?”

"Let's all keep quiet. Everyone knows what they're like. Let's talk about what to do now," Yan Jiefang said.

Liu Guangtian thought for a moment: "It won't work if just the few of us discuss it."

We should call everyone over and discuss this together.

This proposal was approved by others.

After discussing it, the group decided that going to Yan Jiecheng's restaurant would be a better option.

Yan Jiecheng was doing accounts at the cashier's counter when he saw several people coming over, and he looked on with curiosity.

"Why did you all come together? Do you want to eat? What would you like to eat? I'll have the kitchen prepare something for you."

We grew up together, I definitely won't ask you for more money.

Free is impossible; even if you're his own brother, don't expect to eat and drink for free here.

These are the family rules of the Yan family.

The Yan brothers, Jiefang and Jiecheng, were well aware of this family rule, so this was their first time visiting Yan Jiecheng's restaurant.

They had never wanted to come here before, to watch Yan Jiecheng make money.

"Brother, your restaurant is pretty good."

Yan Jiecheng said, "It's just so-so. Your sister-in-law and I earn a little money to support our family."

If you're talking about a restaurant, you should be referring to He Yuzhu's restaurant.

His restaurant is really good.

What are you all doing together?

Since they grew up, they have gone their separate ways and lived their own lives, rarely keeping in touch.

When a group of people suddenly gather together, it's probably not for anything good.

Liu Guangtian said, "Stop with the idle chatter. Brother Jiecheng, find us somewhere, we have something important to tell you."

Seeing their serious demeanor, Yan Jiecheng led them to a private room.

Upon learning of this, Yan Jiecheng asked in surprise, "Is this true?"

"Brother, think back to the old days, when an old man would always say that the courtyard house meant one family."

Living together in old age, aren't we family?
I think this is pretty much a done deal.” Yan Jiecheng asked, “What do you mean?”

“We feel that we need to bring everyone together for this.”

Yan Jiecheng said, "Indeed, they should all be called over and asked. By the way, did you call your elder brother?"

This question was directed at the Liu brothers.

Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangqi exchanged a glance and realized they had forgotten about Liu Guangqi.

It's not their fault either.

Although Liu Guangqi is their older brother, he is not really close to them.

After Liu Guangqi started working, he moved out of the courtyard house and rarely came back throughout the year.

Even now, Liu Guangqi returns very rarely.

If it weren't for Liu Haizhong and his wife remembering him, they would have almost forgotten they had such an older brother.

“We haven’t told him yet. But knowing his temper, he might not come even if we did,” Liu Guangfu explained.

Yan Jiecheng said directly, "Whether he comes or not, we must talk to him."

This isn't just his problem; it's a problem for all three of you brothers.

"Then we'll call him now."

The telephone used was from Yan Jiecheng Restaurant.

This phone was installed for business convenience.

Normally, the couple wouldn't use it.

This matter was too important, and Yan Jiecheng couldn't care less about asking for money.

The call connected, and Liu Guangqi's voice came through the receiver.

"Who?"

"Brother, I am Guangtian."

There was a pause on the other end of the phone before the caller asked, "Why are you calling me? Has something happened at home?"

"Everything is fine at home."

"Is it because my parents are calling me home again? I'm too busy with work here to leave, but I'll definitely go back when I have time."

If you have nothing else, I'll hang up.

"Don't hang up, I have something important to do," Liu Guangtian hurriedly called out.

Every time I call Liu Guangqi, it's basically the same routine.

Liu Guangqi wanted to understand everything before giving a specific answer.

Even if it's something important, you have to consider the circumstances.

He won't come back unless absolutely necessary.

He always uses being busy as an excuse. He says he'll go home as soon as he's not busy anymore.

But once he hangs up the phone, it basically means there's no more news.

When he's not busy, it'll either be the Mid-Autumn Festival or the Lunar New Year.

Liu Guangqi hesitated for a moment, but ultimately decided to listen.

"If you have something to say, just say it."

Liu Guangtian didn't dare to delay and quickly said, "Guangfu and I are at Yan Jiecheng's restaurant."

We have something very important to discuss with you.

It's not convenient to talk about this over the phone. Could you come over here?

There was no further news from the other end of the phone.

Liu Guangtian knew that Liu Guangqi was hesitating.

This hesitation will not lead to a good outcome.

Before Liu Guangqi could speak, Liu Guangtian gestured for Yan Jiecheng to speak.

Yan Jiecheng had no choice but to go out: "Brother Guangqi, they're all at my restaurant. They're waiting for you, so please come over quickly."

The person on the other end of the phone hesitated for a moment before replying, "Okay. I'll come over."

After hanging up the phone, Yan Jie was heartbroken.

These days, phone bills are quite expensive.

Liu Guangqi hesitated several times, wasting too much time, which cost money.

"What's wrong with your brother? Doesn't he know phone bills are expensive?"
What are you dawdling about for?

Liu Guangfu said with a wry smile, "You should be content. Last time, my mother missed him and wanted him to come back and visit."

He asked a lot of questions, and finally said, "I'm working overtime at the factory."

The Yan brothers simply couldn't understand this. They couldn't accept such a waste of money. (End of Chapter)
