Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

After eating for a while, Bang Geng and Chen Kai had satisfied their cravings and slowly started drinking with the Liu Guangtian brothers.

"Uncle Guangtian, why are you coming out of the train station? Did you just come back from Beijing?"

Liu Guangtian shook his head and said, "We haven't gone back to Beijing; we've been staying in Shanghai."

"Your treasury bonds haven't been sold yet? Didn't you say there would be many people buying them?" Bang Geng asked doubtfully.

They didn't have a good time selling treasury bonds, so they eventually just threw them away.

The two then stopped paying attention to the treasury bond business.

"They sell well." Liu Guangtian didn't hide it, nor could he.

If we keep it a secret now, Bang Geng will find out when we get back to Beijing.

Chen Kai asked curiously, "How did you sell it? We were stolen because we didn't have any connections and couldn't sell it in time."

If I had sold it sooner, it wouldn't have been stolen.

Liu Guangfu thought to himself, "That would make things even easier for thieves; they could just steal the money directly."

That's a rather provocative statement, and Liu Guangfu, who's almost forty, wouldn't say it out loud.

"We were just lucky."

The Liu brothers, in perfect unison, didn't tell the two men that they had contacted the MCA.

Everyone knows that because of Ho Yu Chu, the MCA (Malaysian Chinese Association) basically doesn't speak to the Jia family.

They told Bang Geng that if Bang Geng went to Ma Hua and Ma Hua found out that it was them who said it, they definitely wouldn't be willing to help them.

Without the help of the MCA, their treasury bond business will be much more difficult.

Bang Geng looked at the Liu brothers with deep envy in his eyes.

The Liu family was known as the biggest fools in the courtyard, and he couldn't understand how such fools could get rich.

Chen Kai asked pleadingly, "Uncle Guangtian, Uncle Guangfu, can you take us with you to do something?"

Liu Guangtian refused without hesitation: "Chen Kai, it's not that we're unwilling to lead you guys."

The profits from treasury bonds are really low; the two of us only earn a little bit in delivery fees.

"With you guys along, we'd be lucky to even break even, let alone make money."

Liu Guangfu said, "Yes, the more people there are, the more money we'll have to spend."

We won't be able to explain this to my dad when we get back.

"Chen Kai, listen to me, hurry back to Beijing with Bang Geng, so Sister Qin won't worry about you."

Seeing that Liu Guangtian and the other man were unwilling to help, Chen Kai had no choice but to give up.

After finishing their meal, the two parted ways.

Bang Geng said to Chen Kai, "What nonsense were you talking about just now? Don't you know what the Liu family is like?"

Can they help us?

Chen Kai said with a hint of dissatisfaction, "If we don't ask them for help, what should we do?"
"We've lost all our family savings this time. How are we going to explain this when we get back?"

Banggeng snorted: "Never mind that, I have a way."

"Brother, don't do anything reckless." Chen Kai was afraid that Bang Geng would act recklessly, so he kept trying to persuade Bang Geng.

Even after arriving at their temporary residence, he was still unable to persuade Banggeng.

The place where they lived was crowded, and there were some things they couldn't say.

After the Liu brothers had walked a distance away, they couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Bang Geng is really something, managing to lose so much money. If Sister Qin finds out, she'll definitely not let him off the hook."

"That's not necessarily true. From childhood to adulthood, no matter how much trouble Banggeng has caused, Sister Qin has never laid a finger on him."

"That's because he didn't touch Sister Qin's money. This time, he really emptied Sister Qin's savings."

The two argued for a while, but couldn't reach a final conclusion.

They couldn't be sure which was more important to Qin Huairu: money or a stick.

Since they couldn't reach a conclusion, they stopped arguing.

Anyway, the two of them were just having fun with it.
"Brother, let's go. Let's hurry and find Ma Hua. Bang Geng's things being thrown away startled me too."

We need to be more careful from now on.

Liu Guangtian nodded: "That's right. From now on, we can only take turns sleeping on the train, and we absolutely cannot fall asleep at the same time."

Liu Guangfu nodded in agreement. Not long after, the two encountered a thief on the train.

Fortunately, I remembered the lesson from the stick, and I realized in time that I hadn't lost the money.

The two went directly to the restaurant and found Ma Hua.

MCA asked curiously, "I remember you just left yesterday, how come you're back so soon?"

The two made no attempt to hide anything from the MCA.

"Didn't we run into a colleague surnamed Yang?"
He had connections; he knew a factory manager, so we joined forces and bought all the factory's treasury bonds.

Ma Hua said, "This is much more convenient than you having to find someone to buy them little by little."

So I called him and told him to come and collect the treasury bonds.

When Ma Hua called back, he chatted with the two of them.

The two then told each other about their encounter with the "sticky" joke.

MCA asked, "You didn't mention that I helped you, did you?"

"No," the two answered in unison, afraid that the MCA would misunderstand.

Liu Guangtian said with a smile, "I know you don't like the Jia family, so I wouldn't dare tell him about your affairs."

Ma Hua nodded: "It's fine as long as they didn't say anything. It's not that I'm targeting the Jia family, it's just that what they did to my master was disgusting."

I'm warning you, if I find out you brought sticks here, don't blame me for not letting you off the hook.

Liu Guangfu quickly assured them, "We definitely won't. In fact, we don't like the Jia family either."

It's all because of my dad.

You know, my dad is easily fooled by an old man's nonsense.

Ma Hua asked curiously, "I just don't understand, your father has always wanted to be superior to Yi Zhonghai, so why do you still listen to him?"

"I want to know too," Liu Guangtian complained. "He himself can't even count how many times he's been taken advantage of by that old man."

But after each loss, he would turn around and hang out with an old man.

I even considered taking him to a mental hospital for a checkup.

There's no answer to this question. Even Liu Haizhong himself probably wouldn't find the answer.

Once the people introduced by MCA arrived, the transaction was completed quickly.

The reason it happened so quickly was because the MCA (Malaysian Chinese Association) vouched for it.

Having spent so much time honing his skills in Shanghai, Ma Hua is no longer the same apprentice who only listened to He Yuzhu.

He was a prominent figure in Shanghai.

These Liu brothers didn't realize it; they thought the transaction was very simple.

Fortunately, the two of them didn't have many tricks up their sleeves and didn't try anything funny with the treasury bonds.

After the transaction was completed, Liu Guangtian and his companion wanted to deposit the money in the hotel's safe.

MCA said, "Didn't you always bring them back before?"

Liu Guangtian said with a bitter face, "With the Bang Geng incident before, how could we dare to carry so much money?"

We have to catch the train early tomorrow morning, and having money with us means we won't be able to get a good night's sleep.

“Yes, Brother Ma Hua, please help us,” Liu Guangfu pleaded.

Faced with the two women's pleas, Ma Hua had no choice but to agree, taking them to his office and opening his safe.

The two put the money in, then felt relieved, thanked the MCA, and left.

"Brother, it's all thanks to your intelligence that you came up with this idea," Liu Guangfu said admiringly.

Liu Guangtian said with lingering fear, "We were both so careless before, carrying so much money and staying in small hotels."

Liu Guangfu said with relief, "We're two luckier than Bang Geng. God is going to let us get rich."

The two attributed their success directly to good luck.

It wasn't that the two were lucky, but rather that they didn't flaunt their wealth.

When they arrived in Shanghai, they went directly to Ma Hua, and all the transactions were completed in the hotel.

The thieves had no idea the two had so much money. (End of Chapter)
