Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

The most painful thing for a person is to see through everything but be powerless to change it.

Liu Guangqi had this feeling in the Liu family.

He knew perfectly well that it was wrong for Liu Haizhong to hit his younger brothers, and he had tried to persuade Liu Haizhong to stop, but as a result, his two younger brothers were beaten even more severely.

He could also see that Yi Zhonghai and Yan Bugui were deliberately trying to harm Liu Haizhong. He had tried to persuade Liu Haizhong, but that advice was only effective at the time.

As soon as he leaves, Liu Haizhong will continue to listen to Yi Zhonghai and the other man.

Liu Guangqi didn't know how to change things, so he gradually learned to pretend to be deaf and dumb.

The situation is the same now.

Liu Guangqi knew perfectly well that Yi Zhonghai and Yan Bugui had ill intentions, but he dared not advise Liu Haizhong.

Seeing Liu Haizhong looking silly and enjoying the flattery from Yi Zhonghai and Yan Bugui, Liu Guangqi just wanted to escape from this home.

"Dad, Mom, I'll go ask Uncle Li at the front yard. Isn't he drinking with Xu Damao?"
Perhaps Xu Damao told him.

Liu Haizhong thought it was great to have his son running errands, and this was also Liu Guangqi fulfilling his filial duty to him, so he asked Liu Guangqi to go find Li Dagen.

After Liu Guangqi left, Yi Zhonghai and Yan Bugui had even fewer scruples.

Yi Zhonghai was the first to speak up: "Old Liu, why didn't you tell me and Old Yan when you left this morning?"

Do you know how worried we were about you?

Liu Haizhong said, "Why should I tell you when I go out?"

Yi Zhonghai said angrily, "Why should I? I'm an old man in this compound, I..."

Before he could finish speaking, Liu Haizhong interrupted him: "I'm still the second oldest man in the courtyard."

Yi Zhonghai got even angrier: "Old Yan, look at him. I'm just trying to be nice to him, and he doesn't appreciate it at all."

Yan Bugui then said, "Old Liu, it's really not Old Yi's fault for saying what happened today."

We're both getting on in years, and to put it bluntly, something could happen to us at any time.

Let each other know when you go out. If anything happens, we can arrange for someone to come looking for you.

You say it is not. "

Liu Haizhong had no way to refute his words.

Yan Bugui continued, "Look at what you did. You were clearly going to Lao Qi's house, but you deliberately told me you were going to have breakfast."

Do you know how worried I was when Lao Yi told me you hadn't come back?

I am worried, yes, but not about people; I'm worried about not being able to take advantage of the situation.

If they were really worried, the two of them would have gone out to look for Liu Haizhong long ago.

Unexpectedly, what Yan Bugui said made Liu Hai feel somewhat guilty.

"That's because I didn't think of that."

Yan Bugui told him, "I'll let it go this time. But in the future, if you need to go out, you must let me and Lao Yi know first."

Especially when they're going on a long trip, so we don't have to worry.

Yi Zhonghai said earnestly, "The three of us uncles are a whole."

When we were young, we managed the courtyard house together.

Now that I'm older, my child has grown up and can run wild.

If we want to spend our later years in peace, we must support each other.

If anything happens to you, don't hide it from us.

The two of them worked together and quickly managed to fool Liu Haizhong.

Liu Haizhong also assured the two that he would definitely tell them if anything happened in the future.

Liu Guangqi hadn't heard about these things, but he had a pretty good idea of ​​what was going on.

He had long since given up trying to persuade Liu Haizhong, and didn't care how much he had been fooled.

Liu Guangqi came to the front yard and looked at Li Dagen's house, feeling very emotional.

His requirements weren't high; he just hoped that Liu Haizhong could look like Li Dagen.

Even with such a simple requirement, Liu Haizhong can't meet it.

"Uncle Li, are you home?"

Li Dagen smiled and welcomed Liu Guangqi into his home: "Why aren't you at home chatting with your parents?"

Liu Guangqi said, "Uncle Yi and Uncle San are here."

Li Dagen immediately understood what was going on.

With Yi Zhonghai and Yan Bugui around, the Liu family father and son had no way to have a heart-to-heart talk.

“The three of them are close. When you’re not home, they keep each other company.” Liu Guangqi said with a wry smile.

To put it nicely, they were keeping each other company; in reality, it was Yi Zhonghai and Yan Bugui who conned Liu Haizhong into spending money.

Anyway, Yi Zhonghai and Yan Bugui are no good people; all they can do is fool people into eating and drinking.

He can't control it, and he doesn't want to.

Liu Guangqi asked, "Uncle Li, I'm here to ask you what Xu Damao said last night?"

Li Dagen looked at Liu Guangqi with some confusion.

Why did Liu Guangqi step in when the money at the Qinhuai Home Inn was stolen?

This seems to have nothing to do with Liu Guangqi.

Could it be that Liu Guangqi and Qin Huairu...

The idea was nipped in the bud by Li Dagen.

When Liu Guangqi lived in the compound, he rarely interacted with the other residents. He didn't get along well with anyone in the compound.

Besides, he moved away a long time ago, so there's no way they could have any connection.

"I didn't say anything."

The Jia family is the source of chaos in the courtyard house; even the smallest thing, once it involves the Jia family, can escalate into a major incident.

If he were to reveal that he lost money...

Those two widows from the Jia family will definitely come to his house to cause trouble.

Yi Zhonghai won't be idle either; he'll definitely come looking for trouble.

Li Dagen had no interest in getting involved in the Jia family's affairs, so he made up his mind to say he didn't know anything to anyone who asked.

Last night, while drinking, he even advised Xu Damao to pretend he didn't know anything.

As for whether Xu Damao would listen, he didn't know.

Liu Guangqi looked at Li Dagen with suspicion, not expecting Li Dagen to lie.

Thinking he hadn't explained clearly, he asked again, "I heard from my dad that Xu Damao came back yesterday and said that his retirement money had been embezzled."

what is going on? "

Li Dagen said, "He's just talking nonsense. Who doesn't hide their retirement money carefully? How could it possibly be stolen?"

Undeterred, Liu Guangqi continued to ask, "Uncle Li, please tell me about it."

Yesterday, after hearing what Xu Damao said, my dad suspected that Guangtian and Guangfu had run off with his retirement money.

This morning, he and my mother went out specifically to check on Guangtian and Guangfu's homes.

Then they went to my house.

Li Dagen was taken aback: "Your dad is perfectly fine, why would he suspect Guangtian and Guangfu?"

Those two are his own sons.

Liu Guangqi said with a hint of resentment, "So what if he's my own son? His own son's words don't carry as much weight as other people's words."

Li Dagen listened to his complaints and showed a sympathetic expression.

In fact, it's not just Liu Haizhong; Yi Zhonghai and Yan Bugui also have the same problem.

The three of them trusted each other far more than their own sons.

Liu Guangqi continued, "My uncles said to my dad that Guangtian and Guangfu were not trustworthy, so my dad started to have doubts."

She couldn't sleep all night, and got up to come find me.

Li Dagen finally understood why Yi Zhonghai hadn't come to beg Xu Damao.

This led to suspicion being directed at Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu, with no one ever considering that something might have happened on Banggeng's side.

Even though he understood, Li Dagen still wouldn't say it.

"Guangqi, you should know who your two younger brothers are."

They wouldn't dare do such a thing. Besides, aren't your two younger siblings still in Beijing?
Da Mao didn't go to Shanghai, so he doesn't know their situation. Da Mao was referring to someone else.

Go back and tell your parents not to have unfounded suspicions, so as not to hurt Guangtian and Guangfu's feelings.

Liu Guangqi thought about it and realized it made sense. Although there were telephones these days, communication wasn't very convenient.

Xu Damao is far away in Beijing and shouldn't know what's happening in Shanghai.

"I'd like to tell them, but they have to listen to me too."

Since everything's alright, I'll head home. I still have a lot to take care of there. (End of Chapter)
