Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

During this period, Qin Huairu and Yi Zhonghai had a conflict over the treasury bonds.

Without Yi Zhonghai's protection, Qin Huairu's methods became less effective.

Even the little locust flower doesn't listen to her anymore.

Xiao Dang doesn't even show his face.

Actually, Xiaohua didn't want to come back either, but she had no choice. Chen Kai went to Shanghai with Banggeng, and she had to wait for news from Qin Huairu.

Xiao Huaihua didn't want to stay at home and was sulking with Qin Huairu, so she ran out of the house.

Xu Damao hummed a little tune as he entered the central courtyard, where he ran into Xiao Huaihua.

"Hey, Huaihua, why are you sitting in the yard?"

When Xiao Huaihua saw Xu Damao, she greeted him warmly: "Uncle Xu is back. I'll sit outside for a while."

Xu Damao looked around and found that the lights in Yi Zhonghai's room were off.

"Where is he? Is he off fooling Liu Haizhong again?"

Little Locust Flower didn't speak, she just nodded gently.

Xu Damao laughed: "I was wondering why Uncle San wasn't guarding the door."

Those two are really something.

They're always treating Liu Haizhong like a fool, playing with him all the time.

Before Xiao Huaihua could speak, Tang Yanling came out of the house: "Uncle Xu, you know a lot of people, could you ask someone how Banggeng is doing?"

Tang Yanling was very worried because there had been no news about Bang Geng.

Compared to Qin Huairu wandering around aimlessly like a headless fly, Tang Yanling was much clearer.

She knew very well that rushing wouldn't help; if she wanted to find a good match, she had to ask the MCA for help.

She didn't have MCA's contact information, so she could only ask Xu Damao for help.

Xu Damao shook his head without thinking: "Shanghai is so big, how can we find him? Don't worry, Banggeng has run out of money, he'll be back soon."

Qin Huairu knew that she was old and faded, and therefore had little face in Xu Damao's eyes.

She didn't come out herself, but instead sent her daughter-in-law and daughter to negotiate with Xu Damao.

But when she heard the words "Bang Geng has spent all the money," she really couldn't sit still.

"Xu Damao, what nonsense are you talking about? Our Banggeng would never waste money."

Xu Damao chuckled: "That's right, Bang Geng is such a good kid, how could he possibly waste money?"

Sister Qin, it's all my fault for having a foul mouth and saying the wrong thing.

Bang Geng didn't squander the money; someone else spent it for him.

Hearing Xu Damao's apology, the others felt something was off.

But when asked what was wrong, they couldn't quite put their finger on it.

Qin Huairu knew Xu Damao too well and guessed that something must have happened to him, so she followed Xu Damao to the backyard.

"Xu Damao, explain yourself clearly, what exactly do you mean?"

Xu Damao stopped at the door: "What could I possibly mean? Didn't I just apologize to you?"

At Liu Haizhong's home, three old men were drinking.

Upon hearing Qin Huairu and Xu Damao arguing, Yi Zhonghai put down his wine glass and ran out of the house.

After Yi Zhonghai came out, he didn't ask any questions and immediately started criticizing Xu Damao.

"Xu Damao, you wicked brat, have you been bullying Huairu again?"

He had a conflict with Qin Huairu, but it wasn't a big deal.

Compared to this conflict, the damage caused by Xu Damao was far greater.

Xu Damao said with dissatisfaction, "Yi Zhonghai, why are you everywhere? Do you know what's going on?"

You can just say that I bullied Qin Huairu.

"Did you let Qin Huairu say for herself, 'Did I bully her?'"

Turning to look at Qin Huairu, she was now crying her eyes out.

Seeing someone step forward, Qin Huairu habitually feigned pitifulness.

When Yi Zhonghai saw that Qin Huairu was so heartbroken, he became even angrier.

"You still say you didn't bully Huairu."

While criticizing Xu Damao, Yi Zhonghai also gave Yan Bugui a meaningful look.

Yan Bugui and Xu Damao also had a significant conflict, and Yan wanted to take this opportunity to teach Xu Damao a lesson.

Receiving a look from Yi Zhonghai, Yan Bugui stepped forward: "Da Mao, how old are you? How can you still be so irresponsible? Look at Qin Huairu, she's crying like that."

If you hadn't bullied her, would she have cried like this?

Xu Damao angrily asked Qin Huairu, "Tell me, did I bully you or not?"

Qin Huairu didn't say a word, she just stood there crying with her lips pursed, which broke Yi Zhonghai's heart.

"You still say you didn't bully Huairu."

Xu Damao was so angry that he pointed at Qin Huairu, speechless.

Yi Zhonghai, however, did not let Xu Damao off the hook. He knew that he and Yan Bugui could not do anything to Xu Damao.

To deal with Xu Damao, the three old men still need to join forces.

When the three old men unite, their fighting power is at its strongest.

"Old Liu, don't just stand there. You be the judge."

Liu Haizhong had just been fooled by Yi Zhonghai, and now he treats Yi Zhonghai like a brother.

He was still hoping that Yi Zhonghai could find a way to help him find the Liu Guangtian brothers.

He will definitely help Yi Zhonghai.

"Da Mao, apologize to Qin Huairu."

Xu Damao was so angry he laughed: "Liu Haizhong, I've been pretty good to you, haven't I? Do you know what happened? And you want me to apologize?"

Fearing that Liu Haizhong might waver, Yi Zhonghai quickly said, "No matter what happened, you shouldn't call Lao Liu by his name directly."

"That's disrespectful to your elders."

Liu Haizhong was initially hesitant, but Yi Zhonghai's words swayed him further.

"Yes, you cannot disrespect your elders."

Xu Damao spat, "What kind of elder are you? You, Liu Haizhong, are an ungrateful wretch."

I meant well and asked someone to help you find news about Guangtian and Guangfu.

I came all this way just to tell you so you won't worry.

You accuse me without even asking what happened; have you no shame?

Xu Damao used a clever trick, subtly changing the subject.

In any case, he is the only one who can tell Liu Haizhong about Liu Guangtian's whereabouts.

Upon hearing news of Liu Guangtian, Liu Haizhong's stance immediately changed.

"Da Mao, don't be angry. I was just trying to find out what happened."

Seeing that Xu Damao remained silent, Liu Haizhong further betrayed him.

"Qin Huairu, can't you explain what happened? How old are you? Is it appropriate for you to be crying like this?"

When Yi Zhonghai saw Liu Haizhong's betrayal, he was so angry his nose almost twisted: "Old Liu, you..."

When Yan Bugui realized things were going badly, his stance changed.

He wasn't exactly a traitor; he just became a peacemaker.

"Let's all keep quiet. Xu Damao, do you really know where Guangtian and Guangfu are?"

"I'm not willing to say it. You think you can do it? Go check it yourselves." Xu Damao turned to go inside.

Aunt Er rushed out of the house at great speed and stopped Xu Damao.

"Da Mao, please, Second Aunt, just tell me where Guang Tian and Guang Fu are."

My and your second uncle's pensions are all in their hands.

Unable to shake off his second aunt, Xu Damao could only say, "They're in Shanghai, they'll probably be back in about a week."

"Really? That's great!" Aunt Er happily let go of Xu Damao: "Old man, did you hear that? Guangtian will be back in a week."

Yi Zhonghai didn't believe Xu Damao and said directly, "You're in Beijing, how could you possibly know about Guangtian? I think you're just deliberately lying to Lao Liu."

Xu Damao said dismissively, "Why would I need to lie to him? The Guangtian brothers went to find Ma Hua. It was Ma Hua who called He Yuzhu to tell him."

I heard the news in He Yuzhu's office and rushed back to tell Liu Haizhong.

Who would have thought that a dog would bite Lü Dongbin and not recognize a kind heart?

My bangs are numb.

During this period, the sentence he heard most often was this one.

Yi Zhonghai and Yan Bugui talked about him, and Xu Damao also talked about him. How could he not be a good person? (End of this chapter)
