Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

Xu Damao walked in from outside in a cheerful mood. He hadn't come back with Li Dagen; instead, Xu Fugui had caught him and given him a good scolding before letting him return.

Seeing Liu Haizhong sitting in the courtyard, Xu Damao said, "Uncle Liu, I was just looking for you."

Before Liu Haizhong could speak, Qin Huairu spoke first.

"Da Mao, let me ask you, is what they're saying outside true? That Sha Zhu's father-in-law is a general?"

Xu Damao said, "I know, that's right, Brother Zhu's father-in-law is indeed him."

Yan Bugui then asked, "I heard the restaurant is beautifully decorated? How much did it cost?"

Xu Damao said, "Probably more than ten million."

"How much?" Yan Bugui was startled by the number and asked, leaning on the table for support.

Xu Damao repeated, "More than ten million, what's wrong?"
Don't you realize the Lou family is wealthy, with over a thousand dollars? How much money have they made in Hong Kong?

Taking out this little bit of money is just a drop in the ocean.

Yan Bugui said enviously, "You make it sound so easy. That's over ten million. I could never earn that much money in my entire life."

Xu Damao laughed and said, "Go back to sleep. Once you're asleep, you'll have everything."

Little did they know that a few decades later, they would all become millionaires.

Of course, most of them wouldn't live to see that day.

Xu Damao pulled Liu Haizhong back to the backyard to inquire about the day's business.

"Uncle Liu, you didn't tell them about the business, did you?"

Liu Haizhong said, "Of course I didn't say that. Da Mao, let me ask you, is Zhu Zi's restaurant really that good?"

Xu Damao said, "Didn't I tell you? The restaurant has nothing to do with Brother Zhu."

"If you want to know, just wait a while, and we'll go try it."

The second aunt asked, "They'll let us eat for free?"

Xu Damao said with disdain, "Second Aunt, have you forgotten what we're doing now?"

With our earning power, what restaurant can't we afford? Once we've made our money, we'll eat out without restraint.

Liu Haizhong said, "You're right. We'll try it after we make some money."

“That’s right,” Xu Damao said. “Our prospects are bright now, and our future will be no worse than theirs.”

"Uncle Liu, tell me, how much money did you make today?"

Liu Haizhong didn't hide anything and told Xu Damao everything.

Upon hearing this, Xu Damao knew that he hadn't hidden anything, and he was relieved.

Liu Haizhong said, "Da Mao, we still need to think of ways to find more sales channels."

"We need more sales channels to make money."

Xu Damao shared this thought. Seeing Zhang Yan today, he realized the gap between them had widened even further.

He has to fight tooth and nail to catch up with Zhang Yan.

So Xu Damao and Liu Haizhong desperately tried to find a way.

The two would leave before dawn and sometimes not return until evening.

Looking at the money in their pockets every day, neither of them felt tired.

After working continuously for more than half a month, Liu Haizhong's body could no longer hold up.

He's getting old, after all, and can't work as hard as a young man anymore.

Auntie said with concern, "Can't we rest for a couple of days?"

Liu Haizhong was also scared and said to Xu Damao, "It's too tiring for just the two of us. You think of a way."

Xu Damao thought for a moment and said, "Okay. Now that we've made money, it's time to enjoy ourselves."

What I mean is, let's spend money to install a telephone at home, and then we can make calls.

Also, they don't need to pay in cash anymore; they can transfer the money into their account. Once it's in the account, they can start hauling the goods.

Liu Haizhong and his wife exchanged a glance, thought the idea was good, and agreed.

Having money makes things easier.

The two quickly installed a telephone and bought a refrigerator.

Once the news spread, the two brothers, Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu, returned to their courtyard house.

The two bought a lot of delicious food to visit the elderly couple.

"Dad, Mom, we've come to see you."

When Liu Haizhong saw them, he snorted, "What are you doing here?"

The second aunt didn't give her two sons a friendly look either.

Neither of them cared. They had never received good treatment at home. They had experienced even worse treatment.

The two entered the house and began to look around at the changes.

At a glance, the two knew their family had struck it rich.

"Dad, Guangfu and I have come to visit you and Mom. I know that we were wrong to move back then."

But there was nothing we could do.

There were empty rooms in the factory at the time, and many people were vying for them.

In order to get a house, I had to move there overnight and grab it first.

Liu Guangfu then said, "My situation is similar to my second brother's."

Also, we want to make room for our eldest brother. We know the house is reserved for him.

Liu Haizhong asked angrily, "Since you know the house is for Guangqi, why did you come back?"

"We know our eldest brother doesn't want to go home, don't we?"

"Yes. We've all inquired. Our older brother has been back in Beijing for so long, and he's only come back once."

You and Mom are getting old; you can't be left alone. If your older brother doesn't come back, we definitely will.

The two of them went to great lengths to get back, constantly trying to please Liu Haizhong.

Xu Damao came in after learning that the two had returned.

"Uncle Liu, look, Guangtian and Guangfu both know they were wrong, so please forgive them."

The second aunt had long since forgiven the two of them. Their goal in working hard to earn money was to bring their son back.

She's finally back, and she can't bear to send her away.

"Old man."

Liu Haizhong no longer wanted to dwell on it. He was rich and a leader now, but the only regret was not having children.

He had discussed it with his second aunt. He was too old to travel around like Xu Damao.

He was worried about letting Xu Damao go alone.

The best solution is to have your son accompany you.

Now that there's a way out, I don't care so much about my bangs anymore.

"Do you know you're wrong?"

"I understand. Dad, I promise I won't do it again."

"Me too. I won't do it again."

Liu Haizhong said, "It's good that you know you were wrong. Your mother and I need someone to take care of us, so you two move back and take care of us."

"We'll move right away."

The two of them ran home to pack their things.

Xu Damao sat opposite Liu Haizhong and said with a smile, "Uncle Liu, that's right."

Guangtian and Guangfu are back. Guangqi will be back soon too. You can expect to enjoy a life of luxury from now on.”

Liu Haizhong and his second aunt thought the same thing, and they laughed very happily.

"Da Mao, we owe this to you for leading us in business."

Xu Damao said, "It's nothing. What I'm doing with Uncle Liu is called a win-win cooperation."

Only by joining forces can we make the company bigger and stronger.

However, I must also say that Uncle Liu should absolutely not listen to Yi Zhonghai and Yan Bugui.

Nothing good ever comes from being with them.

During this period, Yi Zhonghai and Yan Bugui had many heart-to-heart talks with Liu Haizhong.

One group didn't want him to associate with Xu Damao; the other group wanted to make money with him.

Since the two people had different goals, the effect was mediocre.

Liu Haizhong wasn't fooled.

Even if the two teamed up, Liu Haizhong might not necessarily fall for it.

He earns about a thousand yuan a day now, and he's very clear-headed.

He wanted to keep such a good business for himself and would never give it up or let others join.

Since Yi Zhonghai and his companion failed to achieve their goal, they harbored resentment towards Liu Haizhong and stopped paying him much attention.

They wanted to isolate Liu Haizhong, but little did they know that Liu Haizhong simply didn't have time to pay attention to the two of them. (End of Chapter)
