Siheyuan: Pretend to be a Pig and Eat the Tiger

These people have long lost all sense of personal feelings; having lived to a ripe old age, all they care about is the interests and continuation of their family line.

Maintaining a good relationship with Dong Yong is very important, and everyone present understands this, but the premise is that the family's interests cannot be harmed.

In this day and age, tens of thousands of yuan is an astronomical figure. It's impossible to suffer such a huge loss for the sake of being the heir of the Dong family!

"Mr. Qian, what do you mean?"

"Hehe, you can go fishing or go hiking. Take this opportunity to rest for a day and relax. Isn't that a good idea?"

As for me, I'm going to visit my old comrades. I got all packed this morning. See you in a few days, old brothers! Haha!

The scene shifts to the Tian family's side, where Dong Yong finally arrives, but none of the so-called guests show up—they all stood him up!

"Mr. Tian, ​​is this the scene you described where all the prominent families in Jinshi wanted to see me?"

Dong Yong was already in a bad mood, and sure enough, the assassins from the capital had tracked him down here. Now, seeing the so-called hospitality in Tianjin, he was furious but laughed. At their level, face was extremely important. This scene in Tianjin would soon reach the capital, and then, the Dong family…

All of this was caused by this old man with failing eyesight. Dong Yong was furious. If he had known this would happen, why did he invite him here to embarrass himself?

"Young Master Dong, you..."

"Get out of here! You have no right to speak here. Wait until you become the head of the family!"

Dong Yong didn't give Tian Yonghong's uncle a kind look at all. If it weren't for this man, the Tian family wouldn't have fallen to this state. Why has the Dong family been supporting the Tian family all along? Isn't it because Jinshi needs people from the Dong family?
And now? Heh, this muddle-headed old man has caused the Tian family to fall into such a state because of his good-for-nothing son, that even other families in Jinshi dare to openly disrespect the Tian family.
What use is the Tian family? The Dong family has used its resources to support a bunch of good-for-nothings. Haven't all these years of investment been wasted?
"Dong Yong, this is Jinshi, not the capital. Don't you see yourself clearly? Let me tell you, this is the Tian family home, understand?"

Tian Yonghong's uncle was immediately enraged. His smile vanished, replaced by icy indifference. One doesn't hit a smiling face; Dong Yonghong had gone too far!

"Understood. This is Jinshi, the Jinshi of your Tian family. Prepare the money within seven days, or face the Dong family's punishment!"

After Dong Yong finished speaking, he disappeared from everyone's sight before Old Man Tian could say anything. This scene was witnessed by Tian Yonghong's family!

"Wife, we made the right choice. Hurry up with your father, make sure things are done quickly over there!"

"understood!"

Old Man Tian felt a growing sense of regret. Because of his good-for-nothing son, his most outstanding grandson was throwing a tantrum, Dong Yong had left in anger, and the other six families in Jinshi were absent without reason...

"Hong'er, has something happened?"

Looking at Tian Yonghong returning leisurely, Old Man Tian asked!

"Grandpa, how could you know nothing about something so important? Hehe... Pigeon City has already been handed over to Uncle, you should ask him;
Surely, my dear elder, your youngest son will give you a satisfactory explanation!

Tian Yonghong gave his uncle a cold look, sneered, and remained silent. Old Man Tian was helpless; his eldest grandson was still blaming him. This time, he had indeed gone too far. Otherwise, his eldest grandson would have reported the situation immediately, instead of leaving him feeling like he was deaf.
"Tell me, what happened!"

"Dad, it's nothing really. Last night, someone was advertising in the pigeon market that a brand new electronic watch was selling for 40 and a radio for 140. I sent someone to check, but they didn't see anyone selling them, so I didn't report it!"

"The Li family? Old Man Li?"

"I don't know. It's just a rumor spread by Li Hu's people. Actually, we don't need to care. Even I couldn't get my hands on that good stuff, so it's even less likely that the Li family could. It's just a smokescreen!"

"Hong'er, what do you think?"

"The other six companies in Jinshi aren't stupid. They wouldn't be unable to come because of a smokescreen. Something must have happened that we don't know about."

"My uncle, didn't your people report what happened this morning?"

Tian Yonghong was utterly disappointed. His grandfather treasured this thing, and he had even received the news, but no one in Pigeon City had it.

Pigeon Market is the most well-informed about supplies. Even during the day, there are people specifically tasked with inquiring about and monitoring the market, especially after the increase in street vendors has impacted Pigeon Market.
However, it now seems that it wasn't that the people in Tianjia Pigeon Market weren't paying attention, but rather that this bastard wasn't even staying in Pigeon Market last night.
When he was in charge of the pigeon market, he would stay there at night, listen to the reports the next day, go home to inform his grandfather, and discuss possible situations. Now, well...

"Morning? What could possibly happen during the day? I went home to rest last night!"

"You... Hong'er, tell me, what happened this morning!"

"Hehe, there's a group of people selling electronic products in various compounds. The prices are the same as what they advertised last night. Doesn't Grandpa look familiar?"

"what?"

Old Man Tian, ​​who was originally quite healthy, felt like stars were twinkling before his eyes. No wonder the other six families didn't even give the Dong family any face!

"Useless! You're such a useless piece of trash! You can't even manage Pigeon City properly, and you've ruined the family's reputation! I'll beat you to death..."

Old Man Tian analyzed the pros and cons and realized that only the eldest son's family could break the deadlock at this point. If he continued to protect his youngest son, the Tian family might be wiped out!
"Old man, solve problems when they arise. What's the point of beating your son?"

"You...you get out of my way! If it weren't for this brat, our family wouldn't be in this mess. If it weren't for that petty gain, we wouldn't be in this predicament. It's all because of that brat!"

"You promised Hong'er before she went to negotiate, and now you're blaming your son? It's just a price reduction, right? We'll sell it without making a single penny. Even a powerful dragon can't suppress a local snake. Do you think you can turn the world upside down?"

"Grandma, the Li family isn't a local power, and the people from the capital aren't ordinary either. The Dong family should just focus on selling in Tianjin."
It's clear that the enemy in Beijing is much stronger, and now they've even come to Tianjin to launch an attack. Do you think lowering prices will be effective?
Option one was the optimal solution, but unfortunately, you were too greedy. Now you realize the seriousness of the problem? Greed is the original sin!

"Eldest sister, Dong Yong is your nephew, can you mediate?"

Old Man Tian stopped Old Woman Tian, ​​saying that now was not the time to argue, but to solve the problem. If Dong Yong returned to the capital, things would get much more complicated.
The eldest and second eldest sons may face adjustments, not to mention those who have joined the Tian family. If these people run into trouble, the Tian family will cease to exist!
“Dad, you may not know, but the Dong family has a rule that the heir can refuse to be ordered around by other elders. That means that right now, only my eldest brother and I can speak for Yong’er. No one else is allowed to interfere, or they will be expelled!” (End of Chapter)
