Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

What Liu Guangqi wanted was not the truth, but a plausible reason.

He just wanted to leave the courtyard house as soon as possible and didn't want to be entangled in its troubles.

Back home, Liu Guangqi said, "Dad, I asked Uncle Li."

Uncle Li said that Da Mao was just joking.

Guangtian and Guangfu will not run away with your retirement money.

Don't listen to the nonsense those people outside are talking about.

Because Yi Zhonghai and Yan Bugui were causing him trouble.

Liu Guangqi also deliberately made sarcastic remarks about the two of them.

Yi Zhonghai understood, and he became angry.

There are no elders who are always right, but Liu Guangqi, an unfilial son, actually dared to speak ill of him.

“Guangqi, you can’t show favoritism to Guangtian and Guangfu just because they are your brothers.”

When they moved, you weren't in the courtyard house, and all of us neighbors knew that.

"They even took the gas stove your mother uses for cooking."

Although Liu Guangqi was somewhat afraid of Yi Zhonghai, he also had a temper.

He couldn't be bothered to use Yi Zhonghai's underhanded tactics on others.

If applied to him, that would be dreaming.

After all, he was a department head at a factory.

They can't even be bullied by someone who has no descendants.

“They are my own brothers. I will not show favoritism to them. Whom would I show favoritism to? The Jia family?”

"You..." Yi Zhonghai's face darkened immediately: "Liu Guangqi, you're supposed to be a leader, how can you talk to your elders like that?"

There are no bad elders in the world, only inconsiderate juniors.

I took care of the Jia family back then because they were in financial difficulty.

As one of the older residents of the compound, I feel it's my responsibility to help those who are struggling to make ends meet.

Your dad agreed to do that back then.

Are you going to say your dad did something wrong?

Liu Haizhong was a little confused, not understanding why his most beloved eldest son had started arguing with his best friend.

"What are you arguing about?"

Liu Guangqi spat and said, "My dad was deceived by you and Uncle San."

If you guys hadn't tricked him, would he have gone after Brother Zhu?
Back in the day, I had such a good relationship with Uncle Xu. It was all because of you guys that he broke off ties with Uncle Xu and offended Brother Zhu.

Originally, Liu Guangqi didn't want to argue with Yi Zhonghai, but Yi Zhonghai actually dared to use the "elders are always right" tactic on him, so he couldn't hold back anymore.

This trick is just for fooling idiots.

Using this trick on him is like treating him like a fool.

Yan Bugui was watching the play when he saw Liu Guangqi talking to him, and he became unhappy.

"Guangqi, what did I do to offend you that you pinned such a huge blame on me?"

The reason we dealt with Sha Zhu was because he disrespected your father and didn't follow the rules of the compound.

We are doing this to uphold the rules of the courtyard house.

"Tell your dad that he's targeting Sha Zhu because Sha Zhu doesn't respect him."

Yan Bugui deliberately played a dirty trick, ignoring his own affair with Yi Zhonghai and only talking about Liu Haizhong's matter.

Liu Haizhong didn't think too much about it, but he remembered He Yuzhu's attitude towards him and the slap he received.

He said directly, "Guangqi, you've misunderstood. Shazhu has never respected me, his second uncle."

He even hit me.

If it weren't for Li Huaide protecting him, I would have taught him a lesson long ago.

Dealing with Sha Zhu was a decision made jointly by the three of us old men. You should apologize to Lao Yi and Lao Yan right now.

Liu Guangqi looked at Liu Haizhong with disappointment: "Dad, can you please wake up?"

I, Guangtian and Guangfu, am your own son. You don't trust us, but instead trust two outsiders.

Liu Haizhong, ever the biased type, said directly, "Don't mention those two good-for-nothings to me."

What do they know?

"Do I need to believe them?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Haizhong regretted it.

He was just too embarrassed to apologize in front of so many people, and he also felt there was no need to apologize for his two younger sons. Liu Guangqi snorted: "Anyway, I told you, Guangtian and Guangfu won't run off with your money."

Whether you believe it or not, it's none of my business.

I still have to work overtime, so you can continue to listen to your good buddy.

I am leaving. "

Ignoring his aunt's attempts to persuade him to stay, Liu Guangqi took his belongings and left the courtyard.

Auntie Er chased him all the way to the front gate, shouting, "Guangqi, don't bother with that old man, your father!"

Unfortunately, Liu Guangqi was determined to leave and wouldn't listen to her at all.

Those outside the courtyard, unaware of what had happened, assumed Liu Guangqi was unfilial.

Only the people living in the courtyard knew that Liu Haizhong had definitely been fooled by Yi Zhonghai and his two companions again.

Yi Zhonghai and Yan Bugui were very dissatisfied with Liu Guangqi, and at the same time, they were also somewhat worried.

They knew that Liu Guangqi was the only person in the world who could persuade Liu Haizhong.

If Liu Guangqi is determined to persuade Liu Haizhong, Liu Haizhong may not continue to associate with them.

They must stop Liu Haizhong.

Yi Zhonghai, quick-tempered, was the first to speak out: "Old Liu, look at what Guangqi has become."

Old Yan and I are his elders, how could he talk to us like that?

Where has his manners gone?

Liu Haizhong immediately expressed his dissatisfaction: "My family's upbringing is none of your business."

Yan Bugui knew that Yi Zhonghai was too anxious, so he tried to make amends for him.

"Old Liu, don't be angry. What Old Yi means is that Guangqi has been corrupted by Shazhu."

With a single sentence, he successfully shifted the blame onto He Yuzhu.

Liu Haizhong felt a little better: "Old Yan did speak the truth."

"Our courtyard's good atmosphere has been ruined by Sha Zhu."

Yi Zhonghai noticed Yan Bugui's expression and realized he was being too hasty, so his tone softened.

“The children in our compound have all been corrupted by Sha Zhu. Ever since he started disrespecting us elders, all the children in the compound have followed his example.”

Now it's even more incredible.

He became rich, and those children who wanted to get rich looked up to him even more.

They don't even consider that if it weren't for his father-in-law, how could Sha Zhu have gotten so rich?

Seeing that Yi Zhonghai had recovered, Yan Bugui felt at ease and began to cooperate.

"Who says otherwise? Anyone with a father-in-law like Sha Zhu could get rich too."

Old Liu, don't you think so?

Liu Haizhong was dragged into the same trap again: "You've hit the nail on the head."

Sha Zhu is a fool. Even with a father-in-law like that, his business hasn't turned out well.

If I were him, I would have been even more formidable than Lou Bancheng back then.

"That's right. Sha Zhu is just a fool who serves others; how can he compare to you?"

Seeing that Liu Haizhong had been fooled, Yi Zhonghai and Yan Bugui didn't mind flattering him.

Liu Haizhong enjoyed such compliments and finally lamented, "I was just born at the wrong time. If I were Sha Zhu, I wouldn't have gone into business; I should have stayed in government."

Yi Zhonghai and the other man exchanged a glance, knowing that the time was almost right.

Yi Zhonghai still harbored resentment towards Liu Guangqi, so he prepared to give Liu Guangqi some eye drops.

"Let's ignore that idiot for now; he'll get his comeuppance sooner or later."

My biggest worry right now is Guangqi.

"What's wrong with Guangqi?" Liu Haizhong asked anxiously.

Yi Zhonghai sighed: "Don't be angry if you don't like what I'm about to say. I'm doing this for your own good."

Liu Haizhong said, "Stop playing coy. Do you think I don't believe you?"

Yi Zhonghai then said, "I've noticed that Guangqi isn't close to any of us."

Old Yan and I watched him grow up. How could he say such things to us?

Old Liu, I suspect that Guangqi's father-in-law told him all of this.

His father-in-law is trying to drive a wedge between you and Guangqi.

He might even force Guangqi not to support you in your old age. (End of Chapter)
