Siheyuan: Xu Damao corrects his evil ways

Yan Bugui's matter is the bottom line of all things in the courtyard.

It's not that Yan Bugui is really afraid of someone from the Jia family dying, but that Yan Bugui is afraid of having the reputation of forcing people to death.

Yes, reputation is something that both good and bad people care about these days.

Yan Bugui knew that it was a lie that Jia Zhang went to someone's door with a rope to seek death, and the neighbors in the courtyard also knew it, but so what?

It's one thing to know whether it's true or not, but another thing to know whether you dare to try it yourself.

Anyone can make sarcastic remarks when things don't concern themselves. Only when things happen to you will you understand the pressure you face.

Jia Zhang has no other abilities. It can be said that Jia Zhang's current appearance was forced out of her.

There are many kinds of widows in the world, those with children and those without children; those with family fortunes and those without; those who are beautiful and those who are ugly...

Every situation they face has its own troubles, forcing them to look for ways to survive.

Like Hua Ni, I can't tell whether it was good luck or bad luck. She met Xu Damao and that's how she lived her life now.

Although I don’t expect wealth or anything like that, at least I can still have enough food and clothing.

But it also means that Hua Ni’s life has been limited.

As for Jia Zhang, when Lao Jia died, Jia Dongxu was still a half-grown child, and his family had a small business.

It was nothing in Sijiu City, but in the countryside, in front of the group of family members who were poorer than her, it was impossible to bring Jia Dongxu up, let alone return to the city without a little skill.

The neighbors in the courtyard all thought she was just lazy and messy. But in this world, if they only knew this little thing, the Jia family would have been devoured by others, and no one would be left alive.

Even Xu Damao had a headache when he saw this old widow.

In the entire courtyard, there was probably only one deaf old lady who was not afraid of Mrs. Jia Zhang. The deaf old lady Jia and Zhang knew it, and the deaf old lady Jia and Zhang didn't know it. And because the deaf old lady is alone and widowed, she has more capital than Jia Zhang.

When the commotion was at its worst in the past few days, Xu Damao gave Lou Xiaoe two choices, either Lou Xiaoe went to his parents' house, or Lou Xiaoe went to her parents' house.

How could Lou Xiao'e be willing to give up this kind of excitement? She acted coquettishly and refused to leave.

Xu Damao, who was helpless, could only tell what he was worried about.

Xu Damao said: "I reported the incident in the cellar. I was afraid that if the two families knew about it, they would do something bad to you."

"Ah?" Lou Xiao'e was really surprised. She didn't expect that after eating melon for so many days, she would still get her share.

Faced with his wife's full curiosity for knowledge, Xu Damao was really helpless and couldn't help but reflect on whether he had protected her too well.

But when she looked down and saw Lou Xiao'e's big belly, the dissatisfaction in her heart completely disappeared.

Xu Damao told Lou Xiao'e what happened that day when he went to the toilet and found Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu in the cellar.

Xu Damao said helplessly: "I didn't want to get to this point originally. I just wanted to add trouble to the two families. Who expected so many things to happen? Now these two families have gone crazy. I really want them to know that I did it. I don’t know what’s going on yet. You go stay with your parents for a few days, and I’ll tell you about the changes in the hospital when I have time, okay?”

There is really nothing I can do about this thing. All the happiness that Lou Xiao'e has now is this little thing. I couldn't do anything with my big belly, so I just watched the excitement of various houses in the yard.

The key is that in a few months, Lou Xiao'e will give birth. Xu Damao was really afraid that during this period, someone in the courtyard would take the opportunity to cause trouble.

During this period, Xu Damao and his mother worked two shifts. That is to say, Xu's mother came over early, and then Xu Damao went to work. Xu's mother would not go back until Xu Damao got off work.

Although she was overly cautious, Xu's mother, who was going to be a grandmother, couldn't attach too much importance to Xu Damao's first child.

Lou Xiao'e finally compromised and said aggrievedly that she wanted to go back to Lou's house.

When Xu Damao heard this, he couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. He was really frightened by Jia Zhang's act of hanging himself. Although the middle-aged militiaman kept his promise and did not tell him.

But there were only four people present that day, and in the subsequent description of the situation, I don’t know if his name was included.

If he was leaked in some program, Jia Zhang would also go to his own house to cause such a scene. To scare Lou Xiao'e, even if the entire Jia family is killed, it is not cost-effective.

Xu Damao carefully sent Lou Xiao'e to the Lou family. Lou Tan looked at her daughter's big belly, full of joy and distress.

Naturally, I feel distressed because Ms. Lou Tan has been there and knows the pain and sin of pregnancy and childbirth.

Joy is contradictory. The continuation of future generations is what every parent wants.

Lou Tan helped her daughter into her house, and Lou Xiao'e asked, "Where is my dad?"

Lou Tan glanced at the study, pursed his lips, smiled, and whispered, "I'm sulking in there."

Lou Xiao'e couldn't help but pause after hearing the words, and Xu Damao couldn't help but stop for a moment while carrying large and small bags.

Seeing the state of her daughter and son-in-law, Lou Tan quickly explained: "It's not because of you, it seems that something happened on your eldest brother's side."

The Lou Tan family only has one daughter, and the eldest brother Lou Xiao'e she mentioned can only be the eldest son of the Lou family, the eldest son of the principal wife of Lou Bancheng.

Lou Xiao'e couldn't help but asked strangely: 'Brother, what's going on over there? ’

Hearing this, Lou Tan couldn't help but sigh: "You are still young. Your eldest brother fell in love with an actor over there and had some conflicts with the actor's backstage sponsor."

When he talked about being infatuated with the actor, Lou Tan couldn't help but cast his eyes on Xu Damao, making Xu Damao's heart flutter.

Doesn’t this mother-in-law know something?

At this moment, Lou Bancheng, who heard the noise outside, also walked out of the study. Lou Bancheng was talking as he walked, with anger still in his voice.

Lou Bancheng said: "Shit, a man who is almost 30 years old can still say that he is young? He is so lustful that he has forgotten how much he weighs."

But when ordinary people scold someone close to them, even if the people around them are gloating about their misfortune, they can only try to persuade them inward, but not outwardly.

Just like the relationship between Lou Tan's Lou Xiao'e and the boss of the Lou family, there must be conflicts.

But at this time, Lou Xiao'e could only say against her will: "Dad, it turns out that eldest brother was quite good when he was at home. Has he been deceived by someone else this time?"

This is also correct.

There is definitely no room for Xu Damao to talk about this kind of thing.

Xu Damao wanted to pretend to be deaf and dumb, but today Lou Bancheng didn't know whether he meant something or simply vented his anger. He always said it loudly and explained clearly what the boss was facing. .

Xu Damao looked confused when he heard this. This kind of thing has nothing to do with a common man like him from Forty-Nine Cities.

There was nothing else going on, it was just the boss of the Lou family fighting for wealth with another boss over a singer.

Naturally, he spends a lot of money when he opens his mouth, but when it comes to paying the bill, his claws are numb. He doesn't have so much cash on him, and people don't recognize checks.

So a colleague kindly lent a huge sum of money to the boss of the Lou family. Of course, he had to sign an IOU.

The eldest son of the Lou family, who was already intoxicated by the red lip wine, signed an IOU without paying attention.

I took a quick look at it, but there was nothing special about it.

When the boss of the Lou family took the beauty out for a week of fun and came back, the other party came to the door with an IOU.

The meaning of the IOU is still the same, but I don’t know when there was an extra line on it, which means that the repayment period is only three days. After more than three days, a company run by the Lou family in Hong Kong for 20 years was used to pay off the debt.

This company is not valuable, but it is a channel for Lou Bancheng to communicate with the outside world.

In other words, the current Lou family is of no use to some of the people above.

Of course, the Lou family can also open another company.

But these days, it takes many years of operation to slowly gain some credit.

Today the boss of the Lou family can sell the company for a singer, but what about tomorrow?

No one wants to do this kind of risky business with such a brainless person.

Everyone knows why the Lou family bought some machines but did not open a factory on Hong Kong Island.

The seller knows it, and the middlemen also know it. We treat it as a business, and no one will say anything more.

Now that the successor of the Lou family is not up to par, who is still willing to get involved with the Lou family?

Moreover, the Lou family is not the only one with the window on Hong Kong Island. When it is available, it is natural to use the Lou family.

Now that the Lou family has withdrawn, no one has the intention to wait for the Lou family to grow slowly.

Xu Damao was relatively confused. Although he had never done business, he had watched TV.

This routine cannot be said to be simple, I should say it is quite simple.

The boss of the Lou family didn't even notice such a simple trick. How could Lou Bancheng be so confident in letting his eldest son go to Hong Kong Island to be the master of the family?

This is the case with many things. What seems simple to outsiders can never be solved by the person involved.

Just like Qin Huairu versus Silly Zhu in the original drama.

Lou Xiao'e naturally comforted Lou Bancheng for a while.

But this matter should have a big impact on Lou Bancheng. The difference between businessmen, big and small, is nothing more than the difference in social resources they control.

It doesn’t mean that you have more money than others, but that you are better than others.

Deng Tong had so much money that exterminating his family was just a matter of words from the emperor.

To put it bluntly, business is nothing more than an exchange of social resources.

If you can use limited resources to get what everyone needs, everyone will recognize you and need you.

If not, like Lou Bancheng now, he is just a charterer waiting to collect rent.

The key point is that the people he collects rent from are still the public, and this will definitely not last long.

What can Xu Damao say now? Lou Xiao'e could at least give her some advice, because her surname was Lou.

Xu Damao is an outsider in this matter.

After Xu Damao muttered a few words and left, the three members of the Lou family sat in silence in the living room.

After a while, Lou Bancheng said: "Xiao'e, do you want to go out?"
