Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

"Qin Huairu's retirement money has been stolen by a thief."

"What?" Li Dagen and his wife exclaimed in surprise.

Who is Qin Huairu?

The root cause of the chaos in the courtyard house.

Most of the things happening in the courtyard house revolve around her.

If Qin Huairu loses her money, that's a big deal.

Li Dagen, not daring to let Yi Zhonghai outside hear, asked in a low voice, "How did you know?"

Xu Damao then told Ma Hua about the Liu brothers' encounter with Bang Geng, and Ma Hua then told He Yuzhu about it.

"This is what Guangtian and the other person saw with their own eyes."

Li Dagen glanced outside again: "So, Qin Huairu and Yi Zhonghai don't know yet?"

Xu Damao glanced outside as well: "He probably doesn't know. If he did, would he still be in the mood to argue with Liu Haizhong?"

Li Dagen chuckled softly, then stopped, realizing it wasn't a good idea.

"How could Bang Geng be so careless?"

Xu Damao explained, "It's definitely not safe for them to be out and about with so much money."

Shanghai, what kind of place is that? A melting pot of all sorts of people, it's not surprising to lose money there.

Zhou Sujuan asked worriedly, "Are Guangtian and Guangfu alright?"

"They're fine. They're both shrewd; they went to find MCA as soon as they got off the train, and all the transactions took place in the hotel."

"Those thieves don't dare go to restaurants; they don't know they have money," Xu Damao said.

Li Dagen thought for a moment and then instructed Xu Damao, "You'd better not talk about this."

I heard that the money Banggeng took was all of Qin Huairu's savings.

If they find out, they definitely won't let this go.

Xu Damao smiled and said, "I won't say it on my own initiative. I'll wait for them to ask me."

He didn't know that in Yi Zhonghai's mind, only other people's children would run away with the money.

As Qin Huairu's child, Banggeng would never abscond with the money.

Yi Zhonghai set his sights on the Liu brothers.

Because of a joke made by Liu Haizhong, the three old men are now arguing about something completely different.

Seeing that things were getting out of hand, Yan Bugui quickly tried to mediate: "You should both keep quiet."

Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong both snorted, got up and left, not even bothering with the chessboard.

Yan Bugui had no choice but to pack up the chessboard himself and go home.

The three women said to him, "How old are you three? Why are you still arguing all the time?"

Yan Bugui sat down and scolded, "It was all because of that bastard Xu Damao who brought it up."

When I got back to the hospital, I kept saying that my retirement money had been embezzled.

Lao Yi and I suspected Guangtian and Guangfu.

Lao Yi wanted to remind Lao Liu, but Lao Liu actually started teasing Qin Huairu.

Isn't this a direct hit to Lao Yi's heart?

Yang Ruihua said, "Old Liu is brainless, why are you arguing with him?"

By the way, did the Guang brothers really run off with the money?
They haven't been back for almost two weeks.

"Who knows? They're both in Shanghai, and we can't get in touch with them," Yan Bugui replied uncertainly.

The three women then remembered the two brothers secretly moving house and were convinced that the two might have taken the money from Liu Hai and not come back.

Even if the two of them don't have this idea now, they will eventually have it.

Do you remember when the two of them secretly moved out?

"You mean they really will take Lao Liu's money and not come back?" After all, they were husband and wife, and Yan Bugui immediately thought of it when the third aunt mentioned it.

The three women nodded: "The Liu family's children are just like Old Liu; they're too ruthless in their actions."

Yan Bugui stood up: "No, I need to remind Lao Liu that so much money shouldn't be allowed to fall into the hands of outsiders."

Whether it was to gain an advantage or for retirement, Yan Bugui was reluctant to let the money go. "Is Old Yi still angry?"

Upon entering Yi Zhonghai's home, one would find him sitting there, fuming.

When Yi Zhonghai saw Yan Bugui, he found someone to listen to.

"Old Yan, tell me, isn't Old Liu a bastard? He's unreasonable."

I kindly tried to remind him, and he actually spoke ill of Huairu like that. What good will it do him to ruin Huairu's reputation?

Yan Bugui comforted him, "Old Yi, don't you know what kind of person Old Liu is?"
He just talks without thinking, why bother arguing with him?

Yi Zhonghai snorted: "Who's going to argue with him? He's biting the hand that feeds him, not recognizing a kind heart."

He doesn't want to listen, and I'm not willing to say it either.

Yan Bugui quickly advised, "Don't be stubborn. If Brother Guangtian really runs off with Lao Liu's money, how will Lao Liu live in the future?"

It's about how Liu Haizhong lives his life, but it's also about how they themselves live.

The two had already reached a tacit understanding to keep an eye on the money in Liu Haizhong's hand.

Yi Zhonghai sighed: "You're right. We can't let Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu continue their unfilial behavior just because we're angry. Let's talk to Old Liu about it."

While the two were talking, Liu Haizhong was throwing a tantrum at home.

He held the feather duster in his hand, looked around, and then put it down, remembering that his son was grown up and not at home.

The second aunt asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Liu Haizhong said angrily, "I was just joking with Lao Yi."
Why is he making such a big deal out of it?

After understanding the situation, Aunt Er said, "You too, everyone knows that Qin Huairu is Lao Yi's darling."

"Why did you have to make a joke about this?"

"Whose side are you on?" Liu Haizhong asked, dissatisfied.

“I’m not on either side. It’s not worth getting angry over something like this,” Auntie said.

Liu Haizhong immediately lost interest in talking to him and sat down to continue sulking.

Yan Bugui pushed the door open and came in, smiling as he said, "Old Liu, are you still angry?"

Upon seeing the two, Liu Haizhong snorted and turned his head away.

Yi Zhonghai and Yan Bugui found seats themselves.

Yan Bugui first tried to mediate: "We've known each other for decades, why are you still angry about this little thing?"

Lao Yi and I have something very important to tell you.

Are you going to listen to me or not?

"Say it or don't, it's up to you." Nowadays, no one pays attention to them in the courtyard. The three old men can only do their own thing.

If he ignores Yi Zhonghai and Yan Bugui, no one will talk to him.

Yi Zhonghai was dissatisfied with Liu Haizhong's attitude, so he didn't say anything.

Yan Bugui said, "We are looking for you because it is a very important matter."

Didn't you hear what Xu Damao just said? Someone's retirement savings have been stolen.

Liu Haizhong didn't think about it himself: "So what if I heard it?"

What does it have to do with me if other people's money gets stolen?

Yi Zhonghai said anxiously, "What if your money gets stolen?"

Liu Haizhong was stunned, and then said, "What nonsense are you talking about? My money is in the hands of Guangtian and Guangfu. How could it be run away by someone else?"

With a hint of smugness and pity, Yi Zhonghai said, "The ones who ran off with the money are Guangtian and Guangfu, aren't they?"

"That's impossible. If those two little brats dare to do that, I'll break their legs." Liu Haizhong's first reaction was disbelief.

After he became rich, the two Liu brothers behaved especially filial to him.

He didn't believe those two people had the guts.

Yi Zhonghai said, "Why is it impossible? Of the three of us, only your retirement money isn't in your own hands."

"Guangtian and Guangfu went to Shanghai, and there's been no news of them for so long."

Yan Bugui chimed in, "Yes, don't forget, when they moved, they even took your gas stove with them." (End of Chapter)
