Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

Before several people started messing with the bangs, there was one more important thing: the bangs were back.

Seeing Bang Geng standing at the door, Qin Huairu immediately asked, "How exactly did you lose the money?"

Banggeng opened his mouth, but was too embarrassed to speak.

He was known as the "Holy Thief of the Courtyard".

A master thief fell because of what he did best.

What can he say then?

This time, Jia Zhangshi didn't help him either, and coldly watched Bang Geng.

If it weren't for her grandson supporting her, she would have settled accounts with Bang Geng long ago.

Little Locust Flower didn't dare to try Bang Geng's method, so she grabbed Chen Kai's ear and said, "Tell me, what exactly happened?"

"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts..."

Because of anger and heartache, Xiao Huaihua showed no mercy whatsoever.

She and Chen Kai lost all their savings over the years to this.

Seeing that no one was pleading for him, Chen Kai could only say, "I'm the one who's keeping an eye on everything."

We don't know how it happened, but we were targeted. They broke into our house in the middle of the night and stole the money.

"Did you call the police? What did the police say?"

"We reported it. The police said they would help us find it. We've been in Shanghai all this time just to find that money."

"If you don't believe me, ask your brother."

Banggeng knew that silence wouldn't solve the problem, so he had no choice but to speak up: "Yes, we're waiting for news in Shanghai."

Chen Kai and I go to the police station every day.

This is the money we've earned over this period of time.

This is the statement the two had agreed upon.

Otherwise, there's no way to explain why they haven't come back for so long.

When the MCA went to find them, they knew they had been exposed.

The two couldn't very well say they were afraid to go home, so they came up with this excuse.

Seeing the money Banggeng handed over, Qin Huairu felt a little better.

Finally, we saw a return on our investment.

But looking at the amount of money, she began to feel sorry for herself.

Yi Zhonghai was afraid that Qin Huairu would get sick from being too emotional, so he comforted her, saying, "It's more important than anything else that he's back."

Qin Huairu burst into tears, which meant that the matter was temporarily over.

Yi Zhonghai asked, "You lost your money, why didn't you ask Ma Hua for help?"

He knows Shanghai much better than you do.

Chen Kai muttered, "We'd like to look for them, but they have to respond to us first."

Xiao Huaihua glared at Chen Kai fiercely.

Everyone knows that the MCA doesn't like the Jia family. You can't say that to Yi Zhonghai's face.

Isn't that just adding fuel to the fire?
Yi Zhonghai glared at Chen Kai with a dark face, but did not lash out.

To put it bluntly, Chen Kai is an insignificant son-in-law and not worth Yi Zhonghai's lecture.

Yi Zhonghai asked a few more questions, showing his concern for Bang Geng, and then didn't say much more.

It was as if Yan Bugui had installed surveillance cameras in the Jia family's home; he appeared just in time.

He even brought Liu Haizhong with him to the Jia family.

“Sister-in-law, Huai Ru, Lao Liu and I have come to check on the berries.”

Qin Huai sighed and wiped away her tears: "Old Liu, Old Yan, you've come."

Liu Haizhong was brought here by Yan Bugui, who said that as the stewards of the courtyard, they should comfort the Jia family.

He said, "Bang Geng, you're such a worry. Why don't you know how to be more careful when you're out and about?"

"Look at my sons, Guangtian and Guangfu. They had more money than you, and neither of them lost anything."

Bang Geng was unhappy and didn't bother to talk to him, which made Liu Haizhong feel quite awkward.

Yi Zhonghai had no choice but to step forward: "Old Liu, let's not talk about the past."

The question now is how the Jia family will survive.

The family's money is gone, but there are still so many people in the family who need to be fed.

Liu Haizhong subconsciously said, "But what about you?"

Yi Zhonghai's face darkened, and he glared at Liu Haizhong with displeasure. If he could be a sucker, he would have done it long ago. But he didn't seem to realize that he had already been the sucker for the Jia family long ago.

Seeing this, Yan Bugui, fearing a quarrel, said, "With so many of us here, let's not all crowd together. Let's go sit at Lao Yi's house."

Liu Haizhong didn't realize that he had just said the wrong thing, and followed Yan Bugui into Yi Zhonghai's room.

As Yan Bugui was leaving, he gave Qin Huairu a wink.

When they arrived at Yi Zhonghai's house, Yan Bugui saw that Yi Zhonghai didn't speak, so he had to speak up himself.

"You know how much money Lao Yi has. That little bit of money is simply not enough for the Jia family to live on."

Liu Haizhong thought about it and realized he was right. Yi Zhonghai only had a little money; he was far less wealthy than him.

"Then hurry up and send Bang Geng back to work."

Yan Bugui shook his head: "Don't you know what the situation is like in the factories right now?"
Many factories only pay a portion of the wages. The factory that makes rice husks isn't doing well; even if I went back to work there, it wouldn't be enough to support my family.

"That's true." Liu Haizhong had also heard about the current situation outside.

During that conversation with Liu Guangqi, he also mentioned the factory's poor performance.

He still remembers.

At that moment, Qin Huairu walked in with a thermos: "I brought you some hot water. What were you talking about?"

Yan Bugui then said, "What are we going to do after we start talking about Korean jokes?"

Qin Huairu then sat down and said, "This is exactly what I'm worried about."

In the stalk factory, there are more people than machines, and the machines haven't been running for many days.

When the workers arrived, they could only sit idly, playing cards and chatting.

How are we going to manage our lives from now on?

Old Liu, Old Yan, you absolutely have to help me.

Yan Bugui then said, "I'm just a retired old man now. Even if I wanted to help, I couldn't."

"Huai Ru, you should ask Lao Liu. Lao Liu is more capable than either me or Lao Yi."

Hearing Yan Bugui admit that he was inferior to him, Liu Hai was very proud.

Taking advantage of Liu Haizhong's smugness, Qin Huairu kicked Yi Zhonghai under the table.

Yi Zhonghai had no choice but to step forward and help: "Old Liu, when it comes to making money, Old Yan and I combined don't even earn as much as you."

If you ever have any good business opportunities, be sure to bring some good stuff along.

Liu Haizhong was about to speak subconsciously, but then he suddenly remembered something and shut his mouth.

“I’ve handed over all my business to Guangtian and Guangfu. I’m just like you guys, staying at home. Where am I supposed to find a way to make a living?”

Liu Haizhong's answer left Yi Zhonghai and the others in a very awkward and uncomfortable position.

Yi Zhonghai said, "Old Liu, don't follow Sha Zhu's example. You can't be too selfish."

Liu Haizhong was unhappy: "How am I selfish? You've retired, and so have I."

You want me to come up with a solution for Bang Geng? What solutions can I possibly come up with?

Moral deception has no effect on Liu Haizhong.

Yan Bugui glanced at Yi Zhonghai and thought he was getting senile.

Trying to fool Liu Haizhong with the idea that one shouldn't be too selfish won't work at all.

"Old Liu, Old Yi is just too impatient. How about this, have Guangtian and Guangfu take some sticks with them when they go out?"

Liu Haizhong said, "Guangtian and Guangfu also followed Xu Damao."

"Why don't you just talk to Xu Damao directly?"

Yan Bugui looked to Qin Huairu and urged her to speak.

Qin Huairu had no choice but to speak up: "Isn't it because Zhonghai and Xu Damao don't get along? He's afraid that Xu Damao will ruin Banggeng's career."

Banggeng is young and inexperienced.

I suffered a loss on this trip to Shanghai.

I want Guangtian and Guangfu to take him under their wing, so he can learn something too.

Liu Haizhong got a little carried away and even deliberately retaliated against Yi Zhonghai: "Old Yi is just too petty."

Yi Zhonghai was about to lose his temper, but Qin Huairu held him back.

"Old Liu, I'm begging you."

“Yes, Lao Liu, please help me out,” Yan Bugui chimed in.

Liu Haizhong quickly succumbed to temptation. (End of Chapter)
