Inside the courtyard, everyone was filled with anxiety.

Everyone saw the actions of Li Dagen, Zhang Yuping, and Chu Yurong's families and guessed why they did it.

Others wanted to learn as well, but they had nowhere to go.

Unlike the other three families, they do not have houses to live in outside.

Several people immediately made phone calls to their children who were away, hoping they could come and stay with them.

Everyone knew that staying in the courtyard house would definitely lead to being plotted against.

Under these circumstances, Liu Guangtian returned to the courtyard house.

"Guangtian, how is it?"

Liu Guangtian looked frustrated and didn't hide anything, so he told him the truth.

Upon hearing this, everyone panicked even more, and no one told him about Liu Haizhong's hospitalization.

"Guangfu, you little brat, you ran away, and I..." He pushed open Liu Guangfu's door, wanting to settle accounts with Liu Guangfu.

Upon opening the door, they found Liu Guangfu's room in a mess, with all his belongings taken away.

Liu Guangtian immediately sensed something was wrong and rushed to Liu Haizhong's house to check, but he couldn't find anyone there.

Just as he was about to ask someone, Xiao Dang and Xiao Huaihua ran back.

"Uncle Guangtian, where is Uncle Guangfu?"

Liu Guangtian said, "I'm looking for him too. Look, they've even moved. Who knows where he's gone."

Where are my parents?

Xiao Dang said, "Didn't this business deal lose money? Uncle Er and Aunt Er couldn't take it and both ended up in the hospital."

Uncle Guangfu left his family's savings book at the hospital, saying he would go to get the money when it got light, before the hospital performed the surgery.

The surgery is done, and the hospital is looking for him to collect the money.

Liu Guangtian gritted his teeth and said, "You little brat, you're always the fastest runner."

Xiao Huaihua said, "Please stop cursing here. The hospital said that the money in your family's savings account isn't enough."

You'd better find a way to make money quickly.

"If they don't have money, the hospital won't dare prescribe the medication."

Liu Guangtian said, "I just got out of the police station, and all my money was there."

I have no money.

"What can we do? We can't just ignore it. You have three sons, we can't just abandon them all."

Without a second thought, Liu Guangtian said, "Don't talk to me. If you want to find someone, go find my older brother. I don't have a single penny."

“The hospital called, and he immediately said it was a wrong number,” Xiao Dang said.

Liu Guangtian was furious: "At home, my parents dote on him the most."

If he doesn't care, why should I? Let him find whoever he wants.

Xiao Dang was about to speak when Xiao Huaihua stopped him.

Little Locust Flower winked at Little Dang and pulled her away.

Xiao Dang broke free from Xiao Huaihua: "Why are you stopping me? Those are his own parents. If he doesn't take care of them, who will?"

Little Locust Flower said, "Don't you know how Uncle Er treated them before?"

Liu Guangfu has run away, and Liu Guangqi isn't answering the phone. Do you think he can control the situation?

"What should we do then?" Xiao Dang asked helplessly.

"Whatever. We're just errand runners, not the ones in charge. When we get back, we'll tell Dad about it and let him handle it." Xiao Huaihua said nonchalantly.

Xiao Dang sensed something was wrong with Xiao Huaihua, so she asked, "What are you thinking about?"

Little Locust Flower sighed: "Sister, you should be more careful."

When disaster strikes, we all fly away.

Such a huge thing happened, and Yi's father, second uncle, and third uncle lost all their decades of hard work.

Do you think they still have any hope of turning their lives around?

"No, what do you mean by saying all this?" Xiao Dang asked, puzzled.

Xiao Huaihua said, "I didn't mean anything by it. Uncle Li's family in the front yard, Brother Zhang's family in the back yard, and the Hu family in the adjacent yard have all moved away."

Other families also avoid us when they see us.

"Don't you understand what this means yet?" Xiao Dang wasn't stupid, just a little slower than Xiao Huaihua, but she understood what Xiao Huaihua meant.

"You're not thinking of running away too, are you?"

Little Locust Flower didn't admit it: "Why would I run away? What I mean is, everyone else is avoiding trouble, so you shouldn't rush in."

You surely understand what Yi Zhonghai is thinking.

You understand what Mom and Grandma are thinking.

Mom wants to eat Yi Zhonghai's illegitimate children. But after she eats them, will we get any of the benefits?
Now, the three old men are a pit of fire; whoever falls in is doomed.

If you rush forward now, aren't you just becoming cannon fodder?

Xiao Dang said, "Do you think that if we don't rush forward, we won't become cannon fodder?"

You're lucky, you married Chen Kai early on.

I'm the one who's unlucky.

If I had known this would happen, I would have gotten married sooner.

I even paid for my grandma's medical expenses.

Little Locust Flower said, "Stop complaining. At times like this, we all need to be smart and not fall into a trap."

Just as the two finished their discussion, they saw Liu Guangtian and his wife carrying their bundles and leaving the courtyard.

The two exchanged a glance and slowly walked towards the hospital.

On the Yan family's side, Yan Jiecheng and his wife called all three of Yan Jiefang's family members to the hospital.

"That's the situation. Let's discuss how to pay for Mom and Dad's hospital fees."

Mom was just diagnosed with a tumor in her breast. We don't know yet whether it's benign or malignant.

We'll only know for sure after the surgery.

Dad's problem isn't serious; he only needs to stay in the hospital for a couple of days.

What we are now bringing to you is the sharing of hospitalization fees, treatment fees, and surgery fees.

This accident has wiped out all of my parents' savings. They're basically penniless now.

Therefore, we will have to share these costs.

But don't count on me. I've lost everything this time, I'm broke.

"We're counting on you guys this time."

Yan Jiefang immediately stepped forward: "Let's not talk about the money for now. Was it you who persuaded our parents to do this business, or did our parents approach you?"

Yan Jiecheng immediately said, "This time, it was my parents who contacted us. I am the victim."

Yan Jiefang said, "What kind of victims are you? When you're making money, your parents think of you, but when you lose money, they only think of us."

Yan Jiekuang stepped forward and stated, "Second Brother is right. When he's making money, the only person he thinks of is you."

What does this mean?
This shows that in his heart, you are his son, and we are all outsiders.

Since we are outsiders, why should we bear this responsibility?

Yan Jiedi chimed in, "That's right. The things you do bring bad luck to us, my husband and I."

Before I arrived, my husband Luo Hong called and scolded me.

"A police officer's family member knowingly breaks the law; the police station is laughing at Luo Hong."

Yan Jiecheng turned to look at Yan Jiedi: "Go back and beg your brother-in-law to return the confiscated goods to us."

Yan Jiedi spat and said, "What are you dreaming about? The ones who seized your goods are from the Industry and Commerce Bureau. My Luo Hong is just a lowly policeman. He doesn't have that kind of power."

Yan Jiefang said, "Stop arguing. This whole thing was caused by Mom, Dad, and my older brother."

Therefore, you will have to bear the costs this time.

Hao Min was unhappy: "If we don't get the goods, we won't get a single penny. How are we supposed to bear the consequences?"

Yan Jiekuang then said, "Don't you still have a restaurant?"

"Do you think I can keep the restaurant running in my current situation?" Hao Min asked helplessly.

They ran out of money and couldn't even pay their workers' wages.

"Brother, sister-in-law, we don't need to explain our family rules, do we? No matter what, the family rules must never be broken."

Faced with pressure from his three younger siblings, Yan Jiecheng was no match for them.

The situation reached a stalemate. (End of Chapter)
