Chapter 2223
Yan Bugui's Terrible Idea
Seeing that Liu Haizhong's suspicions had disappeared, Yi Zhonghai continued to pressure him to resign.
"Old Liu, tell me your decision now."
Do you prefer Huai Ru to help you in your old age, or do you expect your eldest son to take care of you in your old age?
One cannot have it both ways.
Deep down, Liu Haizhong still hopes that Liu Guangqi can take care of him in his old age.
But he also knew that it would be very difficult to get Liu Guangqi to support him in his old age.
Without Yi Zhonghai's help, there's basically no hope.
His final retirement will still fall on Qin Huairu's shoulders.
Liu Haizhong felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by Yi Zhonghai.
"My three unfilial sons are hopeless."
I choose Qin Huairu.
Yi Zhonghai was finally satisfied.
Liu Haizhong may be a little slow-witted, but he always keeps his promises.
"That's right. I'm not saying this to be mean, but your Guangqi will definitely not take care of you in your old age."
"It's better to rely on Guangtian and Guangfu than on him."
After talking about Liu Haizhong, Yi Zhonghai turned his attention to Yan Bugui.
"Old Yan, what about you?"
The Yan family's situation is similar to that of the Liu family.
Yan Bugui knew very well that when he had money, he could also make his children filial.
If you don't have money, don't expect your children to be truly filial to you.
If you want to retire comfortably, the best way is to partner with Yi Zhonghai.
"Of course I'm with you. My kids are always asking for money."
If I were truly wealthy, would I need them to support me in my old age?
"Old Yi, Old Liu and I have already told you, we absolutely won't go back on our word."
Liu Haizhong quickly added, "Yes, we made a promise, and we won't go back on it."
Yi Zhonghai stared intently at Yan Bugui: "It's good that you don't go back on your word."
Let me preface this by saying the unpleasant things first.
You did help Huairu before.
In the past two years, Huai Ru has taken good care of you.
She has already repaid all the help you gave her.
Now, she takes pity on us three old men, who have no one to rely on, and that's why she's gritting her teeth and taking care of us.
If you're half-hearted, don't blame me for turning against you and not letting Huairu talk to you anymore.
The main purpose of these words is to intimidate.
Especially regarding Yan Bugui, we must guard against him at all costs.
Yan Bugui understood Yi Zhonghai's meaning and was somewhat dissatisfied, but dared not resist.
What Yi Zhonghai said is true.
Without Qin Huairu's care, they would have had a hard time living such a comfortable life.
"Old Yi, don't worry, we all know that Huai Ru is taking care of us out of kindness."
Lao Liu and I aren't ungrateful people.
Liu Haizhong said, "Yes. My wife and I often chat at night and say, 'Time will tell.'"
Qin Huai may have his faults, but when it comes to filial piety towards the elderly, no one can compare.
Don't worry, Lao Yi.
I'm putting my words here.
"If you can bring my unfilial sons here, I will definitely not let them off this time."
Yi Zhonghai was speechless, thinking to himself, "Why didn't you do this earlier?"
A trick can only be used once; if you use it too often, it will lose its effectiveness.
He couldn't possibly drag Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui to beg for food.
This move is equivalent to an atomic bomb; it should never be used unless absolutely necessary.
"I can't help you. If you have a solution, just say it."
Liu Haizhong was definitely out of ideas, so he looked to Yan Bugui for help: "Do you have a solution?"
Yan Bugui also had no good solutions.
The Yan family's children will not be fooled a second time if they are fooled once; that's the rule he set.
"There's nothing I can do."
Seeing that the two were having no other choice, Liu Haizhong became anxious: "Since there's no other way, I won't collect scraps tomorrow. I'll just take this broken bowl and go beg for food at their workplace."
"Let's see if they come back." "No way." Yi Zhonghai and Yan Bugui objected at the same time.
The two had different thoughts, but the same goal: neither wanted to use this tactic.
"Why not?" Liu Haizhong hadn't expected that both of them would oppose him.
Yi Zhonghai said, "No means no. Aren't you afraid of really offending your child?"
Liu Haizhong was puzzled: "Just now you told me to stand firm in my position."
Now that you're saying this again, what exactly do you want me to do?
Yan Bugui quickly thought of a way to stop Liu Haizhong.
What will he do once his bangs are gone?
If he doesn't go, it means he has ulterior motives; if he does go, he can't bear the shame.
"Old Liu, even if we call them back, do you think the few of us can be a match for them?"
Liu Haizhong really wanted to say yes, but he didn't dare to.
The last time was the biggest lesson learned.
He was completely bewildered by Liu Guangqi at the time.
"What should we do then? We can't just give up."
Yi Zhonghai sighed: "It's definitely not enough for just the few of us. It would be great if everyone in the hospital were here."
The more people involved in moral blackmail, the more powerful it becomes.
After the people in the courtyard moved away, Yi Zhonghai felt like he was useless.
Yan Bugui's eyes lit up: "It doesn't matter if they move out, we can make them move back?"
"You have a way to get them to move back?" Liu Haizhong asked, looking unconvinced.
When everyone moved away, the three of them tried to stop them.
Those people would rather break off relations than stay.
Liu Haizhong didn't think those people would be willing to move back.
Yan Bugui explained, "There is a way, but it's a bit underhanded."
When Yi Zhonghai heard Yan Bugui say this, he was convinced that Yan Bugui had a solution.
"At this point, you shouldn't be hiding anything."
If you have any suggestions, just say so, and we'll discuss them together.
“Yes, you should say it first,” Liu Haizhong followed up.
Yan Bugui said, "My solution is that we should bring the scrap we collect directly to the yard from now on."
From now on, all the scrap metal will be stored in the yard.
Liu Haizhong said with disdain, "What kind of method is this?"
Yan Bugui smiled and said, "Don't be in such a hurry. Let me finish."
The people in the courtyard have moved away, but the houses are still there.
Their house is worth a lot of money.
If they hear that we've turned the yard into a junkyard, wouldn't they be worried?
They'll move back if they're in a hurry.
Upon hearing this, Liu Haizhong felt that this method had some feasibility.
Yi Zhonghai was not satisfied: "If we do this, how will we face people in the future?"
Yan Bugui said, "If we don't do it this way, no one will know."
If Qin Huai hadn't told you, all our neighbors now would think we're still collecting scraps and secretly hoarding antiques.
Everyone already knows, so why should we be afraid of losing face?
Our temporary shelter is a dilapidated courtyard, and it might become unusable at any time.
We put the recyclables in the yard. Firstly, it's convenient, and secondly, it can force the people in the yard to come back.
"It kills two birds with one stone, why not?"
Liu Haizhong felt this was a good idea and immediately agreed: "I think this is a good idea."
"We don't have to take such a long detour anymore, it's quite convenient."
Yi Zhonghai remained silent for a while, and finally agreed.
As Yan Bugui said, everyone in the neighborhood knows they collect recyclables.
Their attempts to cover it up are pointless.
Since that's the case, why not use this method to force all the neighbors in the courtyard to come back?
With those people around, he essentially had more helpers.
At the same time, Yi Zhonghai still harbored a sliver of hope that He Yuzhu would also return.
Although he didn't think He Yuzhu would care about the house here, he believed that He Yuzhu definitely didn't want them to take advantage of him.
If He Yuzhu doesn't want them to take advantage of him, he has to come back.
As long as He Yuzhu returns, he will make He Yuzhu taste the bitterness of moral blackmail. (End of Chapter)
