Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

Liu Guangtian and his companion sold the goods, received the money, and then returned to the courtyard house.

The two brothers deliberately withdrew the money from the bank, put it in a suitcase, and took it home.

"Dad, do you see this? This is the money my brother and I earned."

The second aunt came over, opened her luggage bag, and her face was filled with excitement when she saw the stacks of money.

"So many."

Liu Guangfu said, "That's right. If it weren't for you and my dad holding us back, we could have earned much more money."

Liu Hai was dissatisfied with his words, but he was powerless to refute them.

It was because he listened to Yi Zhonghai and Yan Bugui and repeatedly tripped them up.

He could only respond with silence.

The second aunt pretended not to hear and asked the two what they were going to do next.

Are you still going to Shanghai to buy goods?

"I'm not going, lest you call the police and arrest us both." Liu Guangfu didn't give them any face at all.

The second aunt was a little embarrassed: "Your dad and I were tricked by Lao Yi and Lao Yan, weren't we?"

Liu Guangtian complained, dissatisfied: "You call that being cheated? That's called not learning from your mistakes."

You don't even believe your own son, but you believe theirs, is that it?

Liu Haizhong's face darkened: "Shut up, all of you. If you had just called home, would your mother and I have worried?"

Having been beaten by Liu Haizhong since childhood, Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu were traumatized. When Liu Haizhong got angry like this, Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu immediately became obedient.

Liu Haizhong was finally satisfied: "Tell me, when are you going to Shanghai again?"

If it's profitable, Liu Haizhong certainly wouldn't refuse.

Moreover, given this incident, Liu Haizhong doesn't believe his two sons would betray him.

He just wanted to keep doing this to earn money for his family.

Liu Haizhong also had a little scheme: once he made money, he wanted to find a way to get two houses together.

He lives in one apartment, and Liu Guangqi lives in the other. That way, he can see his eldest son more often.

"I'm not going," Liu Guangtian said directly.

"Not going? Why not?" Liu Haizhong and his wife looked at their son with puzzled expressions.

The second aunt pressed, "This business is so profitable, why don't you go for it?"

This is much more profitable than reselling treasury bonds.

"You've only been back a few days, and you've already sold so much stock."

Liu Guangtian explained, "We've found a more profitable business."

"What business can be more profitable than this?" Liu Haizhong asked curiously.

Liu Guangtian said mysteriously, "We're going to smuggle television sets."

Before Liu Haizhong could ask, he shared his thoughts.

Unbeknownst to the Liu family, there was a figure outside the door eavesdropping on their conversation.

This figure was none other than Yan Bugui.

When Liu Guangtian and his brother returned, he had just gone to the toilet.

When I got back, my aunt told me that the two brothers had returned with their luggage.

Yan Bugui was curious, so he ran to the backyard to take a look.

Seeing that the Liu family had kept their door tightly closed despite the hot weather, he became even more curious.

Yan Bugui chose to eavesdrop and happened to overhear Liu Guangtian's words.

Yan Bugui was now completely immobilized.

"Dad, what do you think? Is this business more profitable than buying goods in Shanghai?"

"A single container of televisions can generate a net profit of 210,000."

Liu Haizhong wasn't as agitated as Liu Guangtian: "This is smuggling. What if we get caught?"

Liu Guangtian said, "Didn't you listen carefully to what I just said? Guangfu, explain it to your father."

Liu Guangfu said, "You Fengxia's uncle is a section chief at the customs."

What could possibly go wrong?

Don't forget, there's also Director Li.
A dead skinny camel is bigger than a horse.

Director Li used to be a leader in a steel rolling mill, and no one knows how many connections he has.

He had already made the necessary connections.

Don't worry, nothing will happen.

Besides, Xu Damao is participating, and he's not afraid, so what are you afraid of?

“Yes,” Liu Guangtian said. Aunt Er was somewhat tempted and looked at Liu Haizhong expectantly.

Liu Haizhong asked, "Li Huaide and Sha Zhu are such good friends, why don't you go find Sha Zhu?"

Liu Guangtian said, "Look at what you're saying. If he wants to cooperate with Brother Zhu, what does that have to do with us?"

Besides, don't you think about He Yuzhu's current status?

"If they wanted to engage in smuggling, would they need Li Huaide?"

Liu Guangfu then said, "Dad, don't forget something."

Brother Zhu used to be Li Huaide's subordinate. Now, Li Huaide has to beg Brother Zhu for help.

If you were Li Huaide, would you be happy about it?

Liu Haizhong was gradually persuaded by the two: "Alright then. But have you two figured out exactly how to cooperate?"

Liu Guangfu explained, "Not yet. The money in the house is yours. If you're not happy about it, we can't talk to him about it."

"If we reach an agreement, but you cause trouble and spread the word, we'll all be in trouble."

Liu Haizhong sensed something was implied in his words and glared at him fiercely.

"I'm not stupid. Do you think I can just tell anyone about a deal that could land me in jail?"
Don't worry, this is something only our family of four knows about; I won't tell anyone else.

Upon hearing this, Yan Bugui, who was outside the door, became somewhat anxious.

Such a lucrative business, and they didn't even invite him? It's utterly heartless.

He wanted to push the door open and confront Liu Haizhong, but he didn't dare.

If he pushes the door open and goes in, wouldn't that tell Liu Haizhong that he was eavesdropping?

After thinking it over, Yan Bugui decided to go find Yi Zhonghai.

Yi Zhonghai was having a headache at that moment.

The stick was indeed found, but the lost money was nowhere to be found. That money was all accumulated by Qin Huairu through various means.

Losing so much money is like taking her life.

After much deliberation, Qin Huairu realized that Yi Zhonghai was the only scapegoat she could turn to.

“Zhonghai, all the money in the house has been taken by that kid Banggeng. How are we going to live from now on?”

"Waaah..."

Seeing Qin Huairu crying her eyes out, Yi Zhonghai became somewhat angry.

"I told you not to do it, but you wouldn't listen to me. Now look what's happened."

"I just wanted to earn more money for my family. Everything is getting more expensive these days."

Our little bit of money isn't even enough for our daily expenses.

I still need to support you and my mother-in-law.

"What should we do if something really goes wrong?" Qin Huai cried.

If Qin Huai had used a different reason, Yi Zhonghai could have corrected it.

However, the reason Qin Huairu gave was indeed realistic.

Having money is a very important prerequisite for retirement.

Although Yi Zhonghai had some money in his pocket, it wasn't much.

He never became an eighth-grade worker in his life, and he lost a lot of money trying to deal with He Yuzhu.

He didn't have much savings left.

More importantly, there was no fool like Zhu who would rush to pay money in his entire life.

He had to personally pay for everything to solve it.

If he doesn't find a way to make money, he'll have to use up his savings.

His savings can't withstand further losses.

Besides, he's not willing to spend his savings.

He would never part with the money until he died.

However, given the current situation, if he continues to hold onto the money and refuses to hand it over, he will truly offend Qin Huairu.

"Huai Ru, what's done is done, there's no point in pursuing it any further."

Qin Huairu thought to herself that she had never considered pursuing the matter. It wasn't that she didn't want to, but rather that she couldn't.

The money was lost in Shanghai and can never be recovered.

She just wanted to make up for the losses.

"I know, but how will the family survive?"

Yi Zhonghai sighed and took out three hundred yuan from his pocket.

"Take this money and use it for now. Ask me for it again when you've used it up." (End of Chapter)
