Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

The two exchanged a glance and immediately reached an understanding.

They couldn't interfere with Yi Zhonghai's plans to deal with He Yuzhu. They also couldn't be bothered to persuade Liu Haizhong to do the same.

They can no longer accept that Yi Zhonghai is actually trying to trick Liu Haizhong into dealing with them.

Of the three sons in the Liu family, the eldest, Liu Guangqi, was the most favored.

Both brothers knew that no matter how much they fawned over him, Liu Guangqi could easily win over Liu Haizhong and his wife with just a word.

The two of them tried so hard to please Liu Haizhong, but they weren't going to get much of the family fortune anyway.

Yi Zhonghai's actions directly dashed their hopes of dividing the family property.

How could the two of them accept this?

The two were about to retaliate.

Liu Guangtian fired the first shot in the counterattack: "Dad, did Uncle say something to you again?"

I'm speechless.

He has lied to you so many times over the years, why don't you ever learn your lesson?

Even the simplest person in the alley knows that everything he does is for the Jia family.

Most people won't turn back until they hit a brick wall, but you've hit one and still won't turn back.

Liu Haizhong suspected Yi Zhonghai, but he wouldn't allow his son to criticize him like that.

How could he face his father after being criticized like that by his son?

"Shut up. Why is Old Yi suddenly acting in the Jia family's name this time?"

He was reminding me to be on guard.

"You little brats are so unfilial, at least your mother and I will have a way out."

Liu Guangtian couldn't help but laugh: "Please stop joking."

Even your own son isn't filial to you. How can you expect others to be?
Given the Jia family's situation, could they afford to support you old men?
In the end, you'll still have to give your family's money to Qin Huairu.

I think I understand now.

You've taken that old man's words and would rather give your family fortune to Qin Huairu than to your own son.

The money is yours; you can give it to whomever you want. Please don't label us as unfilial.
If you don't think about the three of us brothers, you should at least think about your grandchildren.

Okay, let me make this clear: please don't label me as unfilial, and I don't want your inheritance.

I'll move out with my wife and kids in a bit.

Liu Guangfu also chimed in, "Second brother, I'll move out with you too."

I don't want to live in the courtyard and have people think I'm after my father's property.

By the way, judging from what my parents said, it seems they also suspect my older brother.

We'll go find our older brother in a bit and tell him.

If we don't tell him, he'll end up being labeled as unfilial and will definitely blame us.

"Yes. We need to clear ourselves of responsibility beforehand. Otherwise, we won't get any meat in the end, and we'll just get ourselves into trouble, which wouldn't be worth it."

The two not only talked, but also stood up and were about to leave.

Liu Haizhong couldn't bring himself to back down, so he sat there without moving.

Auntie Er panicked, immediately stood up, ran to the door, and blocked it, preventing her two sons from leaving.

The couple is not young anymore, almost eighty. Their greatest wish is for their children to be by their side.

My two sons have finally come back. If I drive them away, who will take care of them?

Can we really expect Qin Huai to be like that?
Auntie Er never even considered it.

Qin Huairu is no longer the person she was when Sha Zhu was helping her.

When Sha Zhu was around, he was a sycophant who spent money and effort on Qin Huairu and even took the blame for her.

It was Qin Huairu who caused the trouble, but in the end everyone hated Sha Zhu.

Sha Zhu wiped away all the stains on Qin Huairu's face.

Qin Huairu will always be that pure and flawless white lotus.

In the courtyard house, she was filial to her elders, took care of her children, and was also warm and generous to her neighbors.

The sycophant has been replaced by Yi Zhonghai. At most, Yi Zhonghai will provide Qin Huairu with money and effort, but don't expect him to take the blame for Qin Huairu.

Over the years, Qin Huairu has lost much of her good reputation.

If we're talking about a good reputation, it's barely related to filial piety. Since she could tolerate a wicked mother-in-law like Jia Zhangshi, no one could say she was unfilial.

"Guangtian, Guangfu, what are you doing? Your father and I never intended for you to be labeled as unfilial."

Wasn't this something your dad mentioned casually while chatting with Lao Yi and Lao Yan?
Not only did Lao Yi mention this, but Lao Yan did too.

The two brothers had never planned to leave. They returned only for Liu Haizhong's family fortune.

Before they get their hands on the inheritance, even if you kill them both, they won't leave.

When the second aunt stopped them, they stopped in their tracks.

Liu Guangfu looked like he'd seen a ghost: "Oh dear, Mom, what are we supposed to say?"

I won't say anything about the old man who has no children and has to live at the mercy of the Jia family.

Can't you see what's going on with Uncle San?
Yan Jiecheng lived in the courtyard, but he rarely showed him any respect or even spoke to him.

It's obvious that the other children in the Yan family won't come.

My brother and I run errands for our dad every day, going out to make business deals.

Can't you see such an obvious difference?
"If the Yan family's children are unfilial, does that mean we should be unfilial too?"

Liu Guangtian immediately chimed in: "Guangfu is right."

Who is the Third Uncle?

In the words of Sha Zhu and Xu Damao, it's like whoever feeds you is your mother.

Give him a bone, and he'll say that Wang Jingwei was forced to become a traitor.

He's helping this old man; it's obvious he's trying to scam our family.

"I'm putting it this way: as long as you two give the money to Qin Huairu, Uncle San will immediately join the Jia family in starting a fire."

This is how the two of them dealt with bangs.

When facing Liu Haizhong, the two of them need to be in sync, repeating the same thing twice, which will inevitably confuse Liu Haizhong.

This is called emphasizing.

The inspiration came from Yi Zhonghai's method for dealing with bangs.

Yi Zhonghai's deception of Liu Haizhong was also a collaboration with Yan Bugui. The two of them, working together, could easily sway Liu Haizhong with just a few words.

After hearing what their two sons said, Liu Haizhong and his wife began to have doubts.

Consider Yi Zhonghai's purpose, and then consider Yan Bugui's personality.

The two believed that Liu Guangtian was right.

If you give the money to Qin Huairu, they'll definitely start a firefight together.

That would mean that Yi Zhonghai and Yan Bugui's families were living off his money.

Liu Haizhong slammed his fist on the table in anger: "Those two bastards, all they know is how to lie to me. I'm going to settle accounts with them."

The second aunt stopped Liu Haizhong again: "Don't go. Have you forgotten that they went to the neighborhood committee?"
"If you go to him, what if he goes to the neighborhood committee leaders and says something to us? Do you think we can keep our assets?"

Thinking of the policy of "letting some get rich first to help others get rich later," Liu Haizhong could only sit down helplessly.

In any case, he was unwilling to share his money with others.

"Is there no reasoning here? Why should I share the money I worked so hard to earn with strangers?"

"You two spent the whole day out there, did you manage to find anything useful?"

Despite the fact that the two of them are always out and about, they haven't actually accomplished much of a useful thing.

As for such news, the two had nowhere to inquire.

"I asked a few friends, and none of them knew."

"Me too. Nobody else knows what the specific policies are."

To find out the details, you need to go to the local neighborhood committee office.

Liu Haizhong glared at the two of them: "Use your brains. Going to the neighborhood office to ask for information is just walking into a trap, isn't it?"
Lao Yi's target right now is Sha Zhu. I'm trying to hide right now, why would I show myself?
Did you go look for Sha Zhu?

The two exchanged a glance: "Where are we supposed to find him? Even if we do, he might not see us."

After thinking about his relationship with He Yuzhu, Liu Haizhong had no choice but to give up.

They had tried to contact He Yuzhu, but each time they went, He Yuzhu refused to see them.

"Go wait for Xu Damao; he can find Shazhu." (End of Chapter)
