Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

This method perfectly solves the problem of travel expenses incurred from buying and selling treasury bonds.

These expenses were all borne by the Liu brothers.

The reason Qin Huairu didn't mention the Yan brothers was because she knew very well that the Yan family wouldn't cover their expenses for nothing.

Yi Zhonghai looked at the two helplessly, unable to think of a reason to stop them.

His only reason for stopping him was that he was unwilling to pay.

But bringing up this reason means turning against Qin Huairu.

That's not what Yi Zhonghai wanted.

Qin Huai didn't give Yi Zhonghai a chance to refuse at all, and immediately said, "If others won't do it, I will. I scraped together 10,000 yuan from Banggeng, Xiaodang, and Huaihua."

Yan Bugui realized that Qin Huai had made up his mind; otherwise, he wouldn't have offered to pay.

Since Qin Huairu is already willing to go all out, what is he still hesitating for?
“My family can also contribute 20,000 yuan. Huairu, let’s work together.”

Liu Haizhong asked in confusion, "Didn't Yan Jiecheng want his money back?"

"Where did you get so much money?"

Yan Bugui said with a hint of arrogance, "You think you're the only one with money?"

Of the three old men in the courtyard, only Liu Haizhong had no family fortune.

Both Yi Zhonghai and Yan Bugui were secretly harboring something.

Yan Bugui's status as a small business owner signifies that he is wealthy.

Only in the bangs did I not understand what "small business owner composition" meant.

As for Yi Zhonghai, there's even less doubt about it.

Nobody knows exactly how much this old guy has in his possession.

At least Sha Zhu didn't know.

Sha Zhu got the deaf old lady's house, but he didn't get what the deaf old lady had.

All those things were secretly given to Yi Zhonghai.

Actually, giving the house to Sha Zhu was a choice made out of necessity.

Yi Zhonghai is a childless man; if he owns a house he can't live in, he'll be a sitting duck.

Given his position at the time, he was indeed able to keep the house.

But if you forcefully try to protect the houses, you'll offend people.

Leaving aside ordinary people, even Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui would hold a grudge against him.

You have to understand, at that time their children were all getting married, and they were short of houses.

If Yi Zhonghai dared not give them to them, he would offend both of them directly.

For Yi Zhonghai, not owning a house was the wisest choice.

When the deaf old lady was dying, she put on a show for Sha Zhu in front of everyone in the hospital.

By getting the house, Sha Zhu owed Yi Zhonghai a huge favor, and at the same time offended everyone in the courtyard.

During the eight years that Qin Huairu was dragging along Sha Zhu, not a single person in the entire courtyard helped Sha Zhu, and that was the reason.

Later, Yi Zhonghai secretly gave those things to Qin Huairu.

Sha Zhu didn't know how much was going on from beginning to end, but he ended up owing Yi Zhonghai a huge favor because of it.

When it came to the final battle for the family fortune, Yi Zhonghai used this reason to force Sha Zhu to comply.

He told Sha Zhu that he had given all the things to Qin Huairu, who was Sha Zhu's wife, so it was as if they had all been given to Sha Zhu.

He's penniless now, so he's leaving it to Sha Zhu to figure out.

What can Sha Zhu do?
They could only honestly admit their mistakes and obediently continue to support Yi Zhonghai in his old age.

Liu Haizhong said with dissatisfaction, "So what if I have money? I earned it through my own abilities."

And you? "

Yan Bugui chuckled.

He certainly wouldn't tell that fool Liu Haizhong where he got his money.

Liu Haizhong was about to speak, looking angry.

Qin Huairu stepped forward and interrupted him: "Old Liu, could you talk to Guangtian and Guangfu and ask them to help me sell the treasury bonds I collected from Lao Yan?"

With this interruption, Liu Haizhong was unable to continue pursuing Yan Bugui's case.

"I'll tell them when they get back."

"Thank you so much. I'll treat you to drinks when I make some money."

Qin Huai flattered Liu Haizhong while subtly signaling to Yan Bugui not to offend him. Yan Bugui, naturally, didn't care about saving face in his pursuit of more money.

"Old Liu, I was just joking with you, don't take it to heart. Let's have a drink together sometime."

Here, Yan Bugui left a hidden message, only mentioning drinking, without specifying who was treating.

Seeing that Yan Bugui had apologized, Liu Haizhong felt embarrassed to pursue the matter further, and the matter was left unresolved.

Yi Zhonghai was numb.

Qin Huairu's move directly hit his weak spot.

Now he has no other choice but to pay money.

Yi Zhonghai reacted quickly, speaking first before Qin Huairu could.

“Count me in too. Let Guangtian and Guangfu help the three of us sell treasury bonds.”

Just as Liu Haizhong was about to agree, Qin Huairu became anxious: "Zhonghai, if you're willing to contribute money, then our family will pool our resources."

Yi Zhonghai was naturally unwilling, but he did not refuse. "Okay, then give me the money. When the time comes, I will go with Lao Yan to find Guangtian and Guangfu."

Qin Huairu was dumbfounded; she hadn't expected Yi Zhonghai to do something like this.

This made it difficult for her to deal with.

Yan Bugui saw through the undercurrents between Yi Zhonghai and his wife and chose to remain silent.

Liu Haizhong didn't understand and said directly, "You two are separating your households?"

Fortunately, he didn't name anyone specifically who he was going to give the money to.

Otherwise, the couple would definitely hate him.

Qin Huairu was reluctant to give the money to Yi Zhonghai, and awkwardly explained, "That money belongs to the children, and it's not appropriate to mix it with our money."

Even at this point, she hasn't given up on fighting for ownership of the money in Yi Zhonghai's hands.

The phrase "we" gave them a reason to possess Yi Zhonghai's money.

Yi Zhonghai understood, but there was nothing he could do to argue with Qin Huairu. The two were husband and wife, and their property was jointly owned; Qin Huairu was naturally the owner of that money.

He managed to keep Qin Huairu out of his reach by hiding it very well.

With Yi Zhonghai's tacit approval, the matter was basically settled.

Qin Huairu was somewhat unwilling, but there was nothing she could do.

After Qin Huairu left, Yi Zhonghai glared fiercely at Yan Bugui.

"Money talks."

Yan Bugui was somewhat afraid, but the thought of Qin Huairu gave him confidence.

“I’m not greedy for money. There’s nothing shameful about making money. Isn’t that right, Lao Liu?”

Yan Bugui casually pulled Liu Haizhong into the water.

Liu Haizhong, unaware of these things, fell for the trap: "Of course it's not shameful. These days, anyone who doesn't want to make money is a fool."

Yi Zhonghai's face darkened, and he glanced at Liu Haizhong again. He knew that Liu Haizhong's mistake was unintentional, and he couldn't bring himself to argue with him.

When the Liu brothers returned with the treasury bonds, Liu Haizhong told them the results of their discussion.

Liu Guangtian was the first to object: "Dad, why are you causing us trouble again?"

Liu Haizhong said, puzzled, "How have I caused you any trouble? When you went to sell treasury bonds, you helped them sell them as well. How much trouble could that be?"

Liu Guangfu said helplessly, "Didn't you ever think that we would have to keep the treasury bonds for them?"

They didn't spend a single penny, so why should we keep those things for them?

If something is lost, who's responsible?

Liu Haizhong opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word.

Yi Zhonghai's three schemes were incredibly sophisticated.

He was confused at the time and didn't understand anything.

In order not to lose face, I agreed to their request without ever thinking about these issues.

He had already promised Yi Zhonghai and Yan Bugui, so he couldn't go back on his word.

"If I ask you for help, then just help honestly. Why say so much?"

The Liu brothers were forced by Liu Haizhong to work for Yi Zhonghai and his two companions for free.

The two were full of resentment and complained everywhere, and soon everyone in the courtyard knew about it.

Several other businesses also came forward, but Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu turned them away.

Thinking you can take advantage of them is a pipe dream. (End of Chapter)
