Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

He couldn't deal with Liu Guangqi the same way he dealt with Liu Guangtian and the other two, by directly speaking ill of Liu Guangqi.

Liu Guangqi held a very important place in Liu Haizhong's heart.

Liu Haizhong wouldn't care if people spoke ill of Liu Guangtian.

But Liu Guangqi is different.

If he had spoken more subtly, Liu Haizhong might not have understood.

If he makes it too obvious, Liu Haizhong will get angry with him again.

This road is simply not feasible.

Fortunately, Yi Zhonghai had another way, which was to shift the blame eastward.

This is one of his best moves.

Liu Haizhong did not have a good relationship with Liu Guangqi's father-in-law's family.

The two families had only met once before, when Liu Guangqi got married, and had never seen each other since.

Liu Guangqi's father-in-law looked down on Liu Haizhong.

Liu Haizhong also looked down on Liu Guangqi's father-in-law because of Liu Guangqi's departure.

Therefore, shifting the blame to Liu Guangqi's father-in-law is the safest course of action.

Sure enough, Liu Haizhong said angrily upon hearing this, "His father-in-law is a complete scoundrel."

Yi Zhonghai then gave Yan Bugui a wink, signaling him to step forward.

Yan Bugui didn't stand on ceremony and stepped forward: "Who says otherwise? Guangqi used to be so filial."

Since I found a partner, I've become increasingly distant from you two.

Look at what happened just now. He was disrespectful to me and Lao Yi right in front of you.

Isn't this a slap in your face?

Upon hearing this, Liu Haizhong felt that it made some sense: "Hey, Lao Yi, Lao Yan, why didn't you remind me sooner?"

If you've reminded me, I'll have a proper talk with Guangqi.

"We just didn't have a chance to say it."

The two exchanged a glance and smiled victoriously.

Liu Haizhong suddenly stood up: "No, I have to go and call Guangqi back, and have a good talk with him."

How could Yi Zhonghai and Yan Bugui possibly let him see Liu Guangqi?

The two of them together blocked Liu Haizhong's way.

"Guangqi was so angry just now, do you think he'll listen to you if you go to him now?"

"Yes. We're just trying to be helpful by reminding you, but if you go to him now, wouldn't that be betraying both of us?"

If you continue like this, we won't dare help you anymore.

The two of them used a combination of offense and defense to block Liu Haizhong's path.

Liu Guangqi was clearly dissatisfied with the two of them, so he sent Liu Haizhong to find Liu Guangqi.

What if Liu Guangqi patiently explains to Liu Haizhong?

At this moment, it is absolutely crucial to prevent Liu Haizhong and his son from coming into contact with each other.

If we don't make contact today, we won't have the chance later.

Liu Haizhong didn't want to be a disloyal person, so he didn't insist on going to find Liu Guangqi.

Seeing him like this, Yi Zhonghai and Yan Bugui smiled happily.

There's a saying: "I don't want my brothers to live a life of hardship, and I certainly don't want them to drive a Land Rover."

I'm talking about Yi Zhonghai and a few others.

They fear that their brother will not have a son to support them in their old age, yet they also fear that their brother will have a son to support them in their old age.

The perfect solution to this problem is to have someone else's son raise them together.

That way, everyone is the same, and there will be no jealousy.

In an attempt to divert Liu Haizhong's attention, Yi Zhonghai brought up the topic of retirement money.

"Old Liu, although Guangqi said that Guangtian and Guangfu will not take away your retirement money, I think you still have to be careful."

It would be best to have them come back as soon as possible and stay in Beijing. That way, you'd feel more at ease, right?

Having received a hint from Yi Zhonghai, Yan Bugui chimed in, "That's right. Now that they're back, you'll have someone to run errands for you, won't you?"

Let me tell you, Shanghai used to be the territory of the Green Gang. You don't know what the Green Gang is.

Let me tell you, they were just a bunch of thugs and hooligans, and many of them later became traitors.

That place is chaotic. I'm worried that if they stay in Shanghai for too long, they'll be targeted.

"If the money gets stolen, I'm doomed."

If the Green Gang knew that Yan Bugui had spoken so highly of them, they would definitely settle accounts with him.

Upon hearing this, Liu Haizhong was indeed somewhat worried: "I also want to call them back, but I have no way to contact them."

Yi Zhonghai and Yan Bugui got stuck.

Neither of them had ever been to Shanghai, and they couldn't think of any solutions.

In order to secure the bangs to the center of the earth, the two of them gritted their teeth and came up with a solution.

"If only someone could go to Shanghai, we could ask them to help us look for them there."

Liu Haizhong said, "Who would go to Shanghai? MCA is in Shanghai, but do you even know where MCA is located?"

This gave Yi Zhonghai an idea: "We don't know, but Sha Zhu and Xu Damao do."

"Will they tell us?" Liu Haizhong asked.

Yi Zhonghai sighed helplessly.

He wanted to see He Yuzhu and have a good heart-to-heart talk with him, but He Yuzhu didn't want to see him.

He hadn't seen He Yuzhu for so many years.

If he didn't hate He Yuzhu so much, he would have almost forgotten what He Yuzhu looked like.

As for Xu Damao, he often saw him, but he was unwilling to talk to Xu Damao.

Yan Bugui said, "Guangtian and Guangfu should call home. Tomorrow, have your wife ask your daughter-in-law."

Maybe they know.

Liu Haizhong nodded: "Okay, I'll have my wife ask her tomorrow."

"What do you want?" Auntie Er walked in just then.

Liu Haizhong said, "Go ask Guangtian and Guangfudi's wives if they know anything about those two bastards."

The second aunt said, "Then I'll go ask them tomorrow."

Liu Haizhong said, "Okay. You prepare some food and drinks, and I'll have a good chat with Lao Yi and Lao Yan."

The second aunt wanted to say that Liu Guangqi ran away because of Yi Zhonghai and the other two, and wanted Liu Haizhong to stop associating with them.

But she didn't dare to break off relations, fearing that if anything happened to her family in the future, these two wouldn't help.

Yi Zhonghai kept emphasizing in the courtyard that neighbors should help each other, as it's not entirely useless.

At the very least, the three old men believed in this theory and thought that the people in the courtyard would help them.

Auntie Er thought she would go out to prepare vegetables when she had some free time and spoke to Liu Haizhong privately.

My second aunt is almost eighty years old, so she definitely can't cook for three people.

She turned and went out to a nearby small restaurant, where she ordered a few dishes.

Old Huang instructed the kitchen staff to prepare the dishes, and then chatted with his second aunt: "Your Guangqi is back, so don't order anything too fancy."

Aunt Er said with a bitter face, "Guangqi had something to do and left just now."

Old Huang asked curiously, "Didn't he just arrive? Why did he leave already?"

He's gone. You two old folks have so many vegetables, are you sure you can finish them all?
It's hot now, so if we can't finish it, we can't eat it.

Second Aunt said, "After we finish eating, our Old Liu is going to drink with Old Yi and Old Yan later."

Upon hearing this, Old Huang understood what was going on and stopped asking questions.

He delivered vegetable plots to the Liu family quite often, and knew that Yi Zhonghai and Yan Bugui often drank at the Liu family's house.

One diner asked curiously, "It seems to me that your family is always hosting guests."

Why didn't Lao Yi and Lao Yan invite Lao Liu for a drink?

Auntie Er couldn't answer that question. But she just felt a little uncomfortable.

Yi Zhonghai at least treated Liu Haizhong to drinks, but Yan Bugui never did.

They were always the ones paying for the meals, making them look like the ones being taken advantage of.

However, Liu Haizhong was the one in charge of the household and also the one who earned the money, so his second aunt didn't dare to stop him.

"Does it matter who's paying? Old Huang, I won't wait here."

"Have you prepared the food and have it delivered to my house."

Not wanting to offend Liu's family, such a big customer, Lao Huang said, "Don't worry, I'll personally deliver it to you in a bit."

Then, I'll bring you a side dish to go with your drinks. (End of Chapter)
