Yi Zhonghai knew what Xu Fugui meant when he heard what he said. Since they had already fallen out, Yi Zhonghai did not bother to be polite anymore. He continued the previous topic:

"No matter what, Xu Damao has profited from this, and it is only right that everyone should get the money back now. As for the three-fold fine, I wonder what you think, Old Xu.

Now that Xu Damao is not here, you as his father should be responsible for this matter, and everyone in the compound is still waiting."

Xu Fugui had of course already thought about this matter, and he answered easily:

“My Xu Damao did not get any of the benefits that everyone talked about. They were all confiscated by the inspection team. After all, they were illegal gains.

Since my son Damao didn't get it, there will be no return. If you want the money, you can go to the inspection team to ask for it.

As for the issue of fines that everyone is talking about, our compound does not have such power. If you want to impose fines, it must be a government agency, such as the inspection team, street office, etc.

If you want to be fined, you can apply to these institutions, and if they agree, we will pay for it.”

What Xu Fugui said was all true. All the illegal income obtained by Xu Damao had been confiscated by the inspection team. If these people wanted money, they really had to go to the inspection team, but everyone knew that this was impossible. How could the inspection team return the money to everyone?

There is also the issue of fines. The compound does not really have that right. As for applying to official agencies, that is even more ridiculous.

Xu Fugui solved the problem easily. It turned out that Jiang was still old. He was much smarter than Xu Damao.

By now, people in the compound know that it is impossible to get some of the money back. Xu Fugui is not Lou Xiao'e. If Lou Xiao'e were here today, their plan might still be possible.

Neither of the two purposes of holding the meeting was achieved. Now this general meeting could not be held. People in the compound did not want to discuss this matter anymore. It was a futile effort, and they soon dispersed.

As for Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong and Yan Fugui, there was nothing they could do with Xu Fugui. They had originally had a good idea, which was to control Lou Xiaoe.

If it was Lou Xiao'e, facing the pressure from everyone in the compound, she might be able to get some of the money back.

It would be impossible for Xu Fugui to do so now. All his plans were in vain. They had no choice but to hastily disband the meeting.

As for the few people caught by the inspection team, the people in the compound don't want to care, and each family can only find a way to solve the problem. They can't rely on anyone else.

For other people in the compound, this food purchase operation was definitely a huge loss.

But for the Yan family, not only did they not lose money, but they made a lot of money because they had hidden more than 200 kilograms of grain.

After the whole hospital meeting ended, at around 1 a.m., there was suddenly movement in the Yan family.

Yan Fugui, Yan Jiecheng, Yan Jiefang and the three aunts woke up one after another, and they quickly cleaned up the place.

When the third aunt saw that her old man and two sons were already prepared, she still felt a little uneasy.

"Boss, is it appropriate to go tonight?

Isn't it a bit early today?

We just had a meeting, so no one will notice us, right?"

Yan Fugui waved his hand, he was very confident.

“It’s just right now. The people in the hospital have just experienced a terrifying night. Everyone has suffered a lot of losses and has been punished by the streets. They are all uneasy.

Now is the perfect time for us to go get the food back. No one will notice us at this time. If we go too late and someone discovers our hidden food, that would be bad."

Yan Jiecheng also agreed with his father's point of view.

"Mom, my dad is right. We should hurry up and get the food back now. If we wait too long, we will have more troubles and it will be bad if something unexpected happens."

When the third aunt saw her old man and eldest son saying this, she quickly accepted it. After thinking about it, it made sense. These grains were so precious, and it would be bad if something unexpected happened.

Get the food back home quickly. Only when you get the food back home will you feel at ease.

"Okay, then you guys be careful, go quickly and come back quickly, I'll keep an eye on it in the compound."

Yan Fugui nodded, waved to his two sons and walked out of the house.

"Okay, we got it.

Jiecheng, Jiefang, let's go!"

Yan Jiecheng and Yan Jiefang followed Yan Fugui out of the house carefully. After checking that there was no one around, the father and his two sons gently opened the door and walked out of the courtyard, then hurried to the place where the food was hidden.

Along the way, the Yan family's father and son walked very lightly and looked around carefully, for fear of any accidents.

Only when they safely reached the alley where the food was hidden did the father and his two sons breathe a sigh of relief.

After arriving at the location where the grain was hidden, Yan Fugui immediately ordered his two sons to start working.

"Jiecheng, Jiefang, the two of you start digging quickly. I'll keep an eye on the surroundings!"

Yan Jiecheng and Yan Jiefang nodded and quickly started digging the soil with the tools they brought.

The more Yan Jiecheng dug, the more he felt something was wrong. Normally, they had not buried the grain too deep, and there should not be much soil on top. But now they had dug very deep, and all they saw was soil, with no trace of grain at all.

Yan Jiecheng felt something was wrong and couldn't help but ask Yan Jiefang:

"Second brother, something is wrong. I don't feel right. I have dug so deep, but why can't I see any food?

I remember there wasn't a lot of soil buried there, but there were a lot of dry leaves. Why can't I see any dry leaves?"

Yan Jiefang felt the same way.

"Brother, you are right. I think so too. Is there no food left?"

Yan Jiecheng became anxious after hearing this.

"Pooh!

Stop talking nonsense, you crow's mouth!

How come there is no food?"

Yan Fugui, who was standing guard at the back, heard his sons talking about running out of food, and he broke out in a cold sweat.

This is more than 200 kilograms of food. If it is gone, they will suffer a great loss.

Yan Fugui suddenly became a little anxious. He quickly pushed his two sons apart and went closer to observe for himself.

After seeing how deep his sons had dug, Yan Fugui's face turned pale. At this depth, he should be able to see food, but now there is nothing. Could it be that the food is really gone?

"God!

This is not true, is it!

You two should hurry up and dig deeper. We must not lose all the food, or we will lose everything!"

Yan Jiecheng and Yan Jiefang were of course very worried. If the food was gone, all their efforts would be in vain.

The two men began to dig hard. After a while, Yan Jiecheng had a sad face and was unwilling to believe the result he saw.

“It’s gone, it’s really gone!

We’ve dug so deep, but there’s still no food. Where did the food go?

It's over, it's all over, we've worked in vain!"
