Chapter 2354
Making Excuses
Liu Haizhong looked longingly at his only son who had come over: "Guangqi."
Liu Guangqi couldn't pretend he hadn't heard, so he could only say, "I've said it before, family matters have nothing to do with me."
"If you don't move, you have to pay me back," Da Dao said calmly.
Asking for money is even more impossible.
If the children in the family are unwilling to support their parents, how could they possibly be willing to spend money?
Du Dongliang knew this perfectly well, but he still had to ask. He couldn't just not ask.
Those people with big knives are not law-abiding citizens.
They'll do anything to collect debts.
Once the big sword is used, there's no guarantee what the consequences will be.
If someone dies, that would be a real problem.
"If you want to keep your house, then find a way to raise the money."
No one spoke.
Firstly, they genuinely didn't have the money; more importantly, even if they did, no one was willing to contribute.
Just then, the stick dwarf was brought back.
Qin Huairu saw the stick and quickly ran over: "They didn't do anything to you, did they?"
Banggeng said somewhat distantly, "No."
If Qin Huairu asked any more questions, the police became unhappy. They were just picking someone up, but it was being made to seem like they were behind something.
"Qin Huairu, come back and sit down. Now that everyone is here, tell me, what exactly do you want?"
Qin Huairu immediately became a silent gourd.
They wanted to use silence to continue stalling for time.
Big Knife was not happy: "Director Du, police officer, we've spent a lot of money to collect this debt."
They refuse to pay back the money and refuse to move; I absolutely cannot agree to this.
Fearing he might use the knife recklessly, the police warned him, "Shut up. Can't you see we're trying to mediate between you?"
Da Dao looked completely unconcerned: "They won't speak, how can we mediate?"
The police had no choice but to turn to Yi Zhonghai and the others and ask, "Don't think that you can avoid paying back the money just because you don't say anything."
I hope you will cooperate actively.
Yi Zhonghai had no choice; he knew there was no way to hide. Now, with the police and the local street office protecting them, Da Dao wouldn't dare do anything to them.
It's hard to say what would happen without these people.
“We want to pay back the money, but we really don’t have any.”
"Then return the house."
When the topic of returning the house came up, Yi Zhonghai fell silent.
Du Dongliang knew that Yi Zhonghai and his group couldn't come up with the money. Continuing to pressure them was pointless.
He looked at the group of young men and asked, "What do you mean?"
Liu Guangqi was the first to stand up and say: "I have said before that my family matters have nothing to do with me."
"If my family becomes rich, I won't be envious; if my family runs out of money, don't come looking for me."
Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu's wife said directly, "Then it has even less to do with us."
"If they don't even care about their own son, then it's none of our business."
"What are you saying?" Du Dongliang said, very dissatisfied.
Liu Guangqi knew he was in the wrong, but it was impossible for him to accept Liu Haizhong and his wife, so he had no choice but to keep quiet.
Du Dongliang was furious when he saw this: "Those are your own parents. How can you be so heartless as to abandon them?"
Liu Guangqi remained silent.
"Why is this happening?" Du Dongliang was so angry he wanted to slam his fist on the table.
The police officer also asked, "As children, it is our duty to be filial to our parents."
Why are you ignoring them? Do you know that by doing this, we can arrest you?
Unable to remain silent, Liu Guangqi said directly, "I don't want my grandson to be influenced by him."
"What happened to your father?" the policeman asked, puzzled.
Liu Guangqi did not hide anything and directly told Liu Haizhong what he had done.
“What I said is true. If you don’t believe me, you can ask other people.”
Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu's wife both stood up to accuse Liu Haizhong. When the police heard about what Liu Haizhong had done, their eyes showed disgust.
Anyone who has a father like that is doomed.
Du Dongliang was also taken aback, and a helpless expression appeared on his face.
Having no other choice, he had to temporarily abandon the Liu family and go ask the Yan family.
Like the Liu family, the Yan family's son is their biological child, making the situation easier to resolve.
And you?
Yan Jiedi said directly, "This matter has nothing to do with me. I already published an announcement in the newspaper that I was severing ties with them."
They didn't contribute a single penny to my wedding or job search, so why should I be responsible for them?
The police knew that Yan Jiedi was Luo Hong's wife, so they didn't dare to speak up and pretended not to hear.
Du Dongliang had no choice but to grit his teeth and continue: "Don't forget, they raised you and sent you to school."
Yan Jiedi said confidently, "Director Du, I admit that they raised me."
But I have repaid all their kindness.
After I severed ties with them, I returned the money to them long ago.
"You returned it?" Du Dongliang was a little confused.
Seeing that Du Dongliang was unaware of the Yan family's rules, Yan Jiedi kindly told him.
"This is a rule set by my father himself. I have to work to pay off debts since I was five years old."
I paid off all my debts a long time ago.
"If you don't believe me, you can ask my father and have him bring out the account books."
The three Yan brothers also joined in the shouting, indicating that they had also repaid Yan Bugui's kindness in raising them.
Du Dongliang said he had never seen anything like it. He had seen parents treat their children badly, but he had never seen anything like this.
He simply couldn't bring himself to tell the Yan family's children to be filial to Yan Bugui.
"Yan Bugui, is what they're saying true?"
Yan Bugui had no way to refute it and could only silently lower his head.
Yi Zhonghai objected, saying, "That's not how you say it. There are no elders who are always wrong, only juniors who are always inconsiderate."
Even if Old Yan was wrong in the past, you younger generation shouldn't hold it against him.
Putting aside the facts, are you without fault?
Yan Jiedi pointed at Yi Zhonghai: "Let's put the facts aside, shall we?"
The fact is he is my father. If you want to ignore the facts, then he is not my father.
Since they're not my father, why should I care about them?
The more she talked, the more outrageous it became, so the police had to tap on the table to remind Yan Jiedi.
Reminded, Yan Jiedi restrained herself: "Director Du, my father never expected us children to support him in his old age."
He had already discussed it with Yi Zhonghai, and they would work together to support the Jia family in their old age.
I think we should respect his opinion.
Inspired by Yan Jiedi's words, Liu Guangqi said, "That's right, I can testify. The three of them had already planned it."
They even hired a manager to oversee their retirement.
Yi Zhonghai was the eldest uncle, my father was the second eldest uncle, and Yan Bugui was the third eldest uncle.
Listen, they look like a family.
They even joined forces to help the Jia family, pressuring the neighbors in the courtyard to donate money to the Jia family.
They just want the Jia family to take care of them in their old age.
We should respect their ideas.
Yan Jiecheng realized what was happening and immediately chimed in, "That's right. My dad always had to reduce our rations so he could donate money to the Jia family."
They'd rather we go hungry than not donate money to the Jia family.
"You're talking nonsense." Yan Bugui couldn't stand Yan Jiecheng's twisted facts any longer.
Did he reduce the household's rations so that the Jia family could get money from him?
He reduced his household allowance because he had donated money to the Jia family and wanted to make up for the losses.
Yan Jiecheng was not intimidated by him and continued, "My family knows about this."
"Jiefang, Jiekuang, both of you step forward and speak to Director Du."
The Yan brothers, Jiefang and Jiecheng, were definitely on Yan Jiecheng's side and went along with everything he said. (End of Chapter)
