Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

Yi Zhonghai was particularly angry.

They're all neighbors in the same courtyard, so why should He Yuzhu help others instead of helping them?

They are the elders in the community, and the people most deserving of help.

He wanted to confront He Yuzhu, but found that he couldn't find He Yuzhu at all.

A sense of powerlessness suddenly filled his heart.

We absolutely cannot let He Yuzhu be too comfortable.

This was Yi Zhonghai's last act of stubbornness.

Yi Zhonghai's face was gloomy as he kept thinking about how to deal with He Yuzhu.

The biggest problem in dealing with He Yuzhu is that you can't even see He Yuzhu.

Powerless, still powerless.

Yi Zhonghai was unwilling to give up, and he frantically thought of all sorts of tricks.

In the end, Yi Zhonghai came up with a wicked plan: since he couldn't deal with He Yuzhu, he would deal with the people around He Yuzhu.

He was determined to make He Yuzhu suffer the consequences.

Yi Zhonghai quickly patted the people around He Yuzhu and found that even this method wouldn't work.

Yi Zhonghai was almost going crazy.

Yan Bugui sighed, "If we're talking about who makes the most money following Sha Zhu, it's Xu Damao."

Look at Xu Damao, he doesn't have to worry about anything. The project was given to him by Sha Zhu, and Wu Tiezhu helps him manage the construction site.

He makes money simply by drinking with other people every day.

Even the wealthy landlords of yesteryear didn't live as comfortably as him.

Yi Zhonghai was suddenly stunned, then his face lit up with excitement.

If they can't deal with He Yuzhu, can't they at least deal with Xu Damao?
Anyway, neither He Yuzhu nor Xu Damao are good people.

He did this to rid the people of a scourge.

Yi Zhonghai gave Yan Bugui a wink, and then started pouring drinks for Liu Haizhong.

Yan Bugui didn't quite understand Yi Zhonghai's meaning, but he obediently cooperated with Yi Zhonghai.

Before long, Liu Haizhong was drunk and slumped on the table.

Yan Bugui then asked, "Why did you get Lao Liu so drunk? What are you trying to do?"

Yi Zhonghai patted Liu Haizhong, confirming he was still unconscious: "Old Yan, are you planning to get involved in smuggling?"

Yan Bugui did not deny it: "Aren't you involved?"

Meanwhile, Yan Bugui wondered to himself, "Will Yi Zhonghai stop me from making money?"

If anyone dares to stop him from making money, then don't blame him for turning his back on them.

Yi Zhonghai had no idea that Yan Bugui was already planning to betray him for money.

He asked in a low voice, "Do you think, given our relationship with Xu Damao, he would allow us to participate?"

Even if he lets us participate, can you guarantee he won't rip us off?

Yan Bugui's heart skipped a beat as he quickly considered Yi Zhonghai's words.

First, he admitted that Yi Zhonghai's statement had some merit.

Don't be fooled by Xu Damao's cheerful and friendly demeanor every time he comes back.

But Xu Damao never let him get the better of him.

Xu Damao would rather give the benefits to outsiders than to him.

Xu Damao might actually refuse to accept this lucrative business opportunity.

Secondly, as Yi Zhonghai said.

Xu Damao is just a villain.

It's understandable that Xu Damao doesn't want to make money with them. But if he actually agrees, he'll have to be careful.

Who knows when Xu Damao might do something drastic to them.

Yan Bugui assessed that the probability of Xu Damao attacking them was as high as 99.99%.

"So what do you mean? Are you just going to give up like this?"

Yi Zhonghai shook his head.

At this point, Yi Zhonghai cannot give up.

He needs to retire, and retirement requires money.

Although there are many ways to make money, he doesn't have time to make money slowly.

He needs to earn the most money in the shortest amount of time so that he can retire in peace.

Smuggling was his best option.

Yi Zhonghai was unwilling to admit that he wanted to make money, so he said, "I don't agree. Do you and Huairu think you can listen to me?" Yan Bugui also shook his head.

He was faced with an opportunity to get rich overnight, and he would never give it up, even if it killed him.

Anyone who tries to stop him from making money will face his wrath.

Yi Zhonghai sighed: "We all have a common problem now, which is elderly care."

In the future, I will need enough money for food, drink, and other necessities for my retirement.

To put it bluntly, this is our only chance.

Yan Bugui agreed, saying, "You're right to think that way. I've finally figured it out in my whole life."

Nothing in this world can be trusted, not even the policies written in the newspapers.

The only thing you can trust is money.

If you have money, you'll have plenty of people to support you in your old age.

"Old Yi, let me tell you, no matter the reason, I'm going to find a way to get involved."

Yi Zhonghai did not comment on this, and then shifted the topic to Xu Damao.

"Making money is risky, and cooperating with Xu Damao is even riskier. We must be prepared."

Yan Bugui frowned and thought for a moment, then shook his head helplessly: "How can we defend against it?"

The business was arranged by Xu Damao through Li Huaide, and all the money passed through his hands.

I really can't think of a way to guard against Xu Damao.

The only way is to keep it from him knowing that we paid for it.

We'll secretly give the money to Lao Liu, and have him cooperate with Xu Damao in his name.

Yi Zhonghai glanced at Liu Haizhong: "Can you guarantee that Lao Liu won't leak the information?"

Yan Bugui glanced at it as well: "No. You know what Lao Liu is like."

Yi Zhonghai said, "This is what I think. We don't actually need to bring Xu Damao along."

Yan Bugui looked at Yi Zhonghai in confusion: "What do you mean? Without Xu Damao, where are we going to find a way?"

Yi Zhonghai asked confidently, "Where did Xu Damao get his connections?"

He also sought out Li Huaide.

We know Li Huaide, so we can just go directly to him.

Don't forget, we're going through Xu Damao, and Xu Damao will charge us a handling fee.

If we go directly to Li Huaide, we won't need to pay Xu Damao any handling fees.

"We can make a lot more money this way, both inside and out."

Hearing about how much money he could make, Yan Bugui was tempted: "Are you sure you can make it?"

Yi Zhonghai said, "What's so difficult about that? Even when Xu Damao and Li Huaide cooperated, in the end, Guangtian and Guangfu were the ones running errands."

We convinced Lao Liu that Guangtian and Guangfu would still run errands.

Yan Bugui asked, "I'm asking if Li Huaide would be willing?"

Yi Zhonghai said confidently, "That's not difficult either. You forgot what Lao Liu just said."

Xu Damao wanted more profit, so he fell out with You Fengxia.

We can talk to Li Huaide privately and tell him we don't want these profits.

Li Huaide made more money, how could he not be happy?

Yan Bugui felt a pang of heartache: "But we've earned less."

Xu Damao's character isn't great, but his methods for making money are quite good.

Yi Zhonghai looked at Yan Bugui with exasperation: "When have we ever made less money?"

Don't forget, we don't need to pay Xu Damao any handling fees yet.

All things considered, we didn't lose any money.

Yan Bugui did the math and realized that, just as Yi Zhonghai had said, they hadn't made less money.

"Are you really going to do that? Aren't you afraid that Xu Damao will find out and retaliate against us?"

Yi Zhonghai chuckled twice: "At our age, would he dare to retaliate against us?"

If he dares to lay a hand on us, we'll be lying on the ground, and he'll have to support us for the rest of our lives.

This method is a bit underhanded, but it's very tempting.

Yan Bugui even started planning what conditions he should ask for when Xu Damao started supporting him.

At that time, he insisted on eating the food from Chaoyang Restaurant every day, and he also specifically requested that He Yuzhu cook the dishes himself.

"I think this is a good idea. Let's talk to Old Liu when he wakes up tomorrow." (End of Chapter)
