Siheyuan: Starting from a fitter

Chapter 17 Xu Damao’s obstacles

On the 4th day of the freshness test, the buns were gone and the test was lonely.It seems that I need to buy some different kinds of food in the future, both raw and cooked, with more varieties, and leave them alone, otherwise I will feel lonely again.

In the third workshop, machines roared and everyone was working with their heads down.

"Li Guocheng, someone is looking for you at the door," a young guard shouted.

Li Guocheng followed the guard to the gate of the factory and saw a young man in his late teens, wearing shabby and short clothes, holding his arms and stamping his feet.

"Look for me." Looking at the unknown child, Li Guocheng was full of doubts.

"This is for you." The child handed Li Guocheng a note.Confused, he opened the note and said, "I am Lao Xu, please help me."

"Men, where did this come from?" Lifting the note, Li Guocheng looked into the child's eyes and locked on to the child with all his strength.

"A man named Xu Tiancheng asked me to find you. He owes Uncle Shi money." According to the telepathic feedback, the child did not lie.

Li Guocheng asked some details with doubts. According to the physical characteristics, isn't this fucking Xu Damao? He didn't want to get involved in this matter, but considering that he didn't look up to see you, plus his confidence in his own ability, he could handle it if anything happened. , the worst you can do is save your life.

"You must have done nothing good, otherwise why use a fake name", Li Guocheng thought to himself.

"Man, wait for me for a while." Li Guocheng hurried back to the workshop and asked Zhang Tou for a half-day leave, then followed the child.On the way, I learned that the child's name was Da Mao. In the morning, his neighbor, Uncle Shi, came to see him with a horse-faced face. The horse-faced boy gave him 1 cent and sent a note to Li Guocheng.

I took a bus with my child to Zhujia Hutong in Bada Hutong of Qianmen, and found a three-way courtyard house. In the east wing of the front yard, I saw Xu Damao, with a blue nose and a swollen face, surrounded by a young and strong boy, a skinny old man and a young woman. I cried for a long time watching it.When Xu Damao saw Li Guoxiang and saw the savior, he wanted to step forward, but was pushed back by the young man.

"Da Mao, go and play." The old man dismissed the curious Da Mao.

"Looking at the friendship between brothers over the years, you have to help me," Xu Damao said with a look. "When have you ever taken care of me? Sister-in-law Xiao'e has occasionally helped me," Li Guocheng thought to himself.

With the chatter of several people, they finally figured out the ins and outs of the matter.

It turns out that Xu Damao pretended to be a bachelor and deceived the girl named Shi Xiu. During the tryst, the girl's father discovered that Xu Damao promised to marry Shi Xiu, but he kept delaying.I was drinking with the old man last night, and got drunk by the old man who had planned it for a long time. When he asked about the fact of marriage, the family was furious and beat him up. Unfortunately, Xu Damao was drunk like a dead pig and slept all night.

The next day, after Xu Damao sobered up, he was asked to divorce and marry Shi Xiu as soon as possible, otherwise he would file a lawsuit.I was forced to have no choice but to promise to give him 200 yuan as a gift and then make a long-term plan, so I approached Li Guocheng.

Li Guocheng secretly wondered why Xu Damao didn't find someone else. Xu Damao probably thought: firstly, he was a neighbor, and secondly, Li Guocheng had been taciturn since he was a child and didn't like to gossip, so he should be able to keep secrets. Considering Xu Damao's popularity, I was the only one suitable to help in the compound.

The old man is also a sensible person. After getting along with each other at this stage, he also discovered that Xu Damao was two-faced and not a good match. Even the workplace he mentioned before was fake.Things have happened. Fortunately, everyone only knows that Shi Xiu and Xu Damao are in a relationship, otherwise the old man would have died.

The old man thought about it, if he reported it to the official, Shi Xiu's reputation would be ruined, and no girl would be willing to marry his younger son in the future. Just in case, he wanted to ask for money to give his son a wife, and then see if he could force Xu Damao Marry Shi Xiu, but Xu Damao cannot leave without getting the money.

"If you don't marry my sister, I will fucking kill you," the young man said in a low voice, fearing that the neighbors would hear him.

"It's not that I don't want to get married. Divorce is not easy. It takes time," Xu Damao said.

"Okay, show your sincerity first, and stop talking about other nonsense," the old man shouted coldly, holding back his breath, and turned to face Li Guocheng.

"Since you are his friend and he said you can lend him money, what do you say?" The old man looked at Li Guocheng with blood-red eyes.

"No problem, but you have to write an IOU. After all, we are just fair-weather friends," he said helplessly, looking at Xu Damao's pleading eyes.I didn't say anything else, just to show that our relationship is normal and we don't want to get involved in this matter.The relationship between the two neighbors was not revealed on the spot. It was not completely a cover-up for Xu Damao, and it was not a lack of sympathy. It was an adult world. You need to be responsible for your own choices. If you are not related to the Shi family, it is impossible to have pitiful sympathy. And to offend the villain will bring endless trouble to yourself and your family in the future.

After leaving the courtyard, I asked around and found a flea market. I picked and picked and bought a lot of high-density wood.It seems that we really need to learn some knowledge about identifying wood. Otherwise, as a carving master in the future, if we can't even tell the type and variety of wood, it will be a bit embarrassing.

An hour later, he returned to Old Man Shi's house, put away Xu Damao's IOU, handed Xu Damao 20 solidarity notes, turned around and left, and the subsequent events were inconsistent, showing the face of a fair-weather friend.Don't give Old Man Shi a chance to pester him in the future.

Back to the workshop, because I had taken leave in the morning, I could only do daily tasks in the afternoon and did not bother with installation.

When I got home from get off work, around 7 o'clock, I just had a quick bite and heard a knock on the door.

"Brother, I am your brother Damao." When he opened the door and saw Xu Damao, he let him in.

"Brother, thank you for what happened today. This is 300. Today is not appropriate. In a few days, I will treat you to a drink to express my gratitude." No matter what Xu Damao's character is, Xu Damao does have a way of dealing with people.

"Brother Damao, I will accept the money of 200, and you take back the 100." Li Guocheng knew that the 100 was the hush money, but he could not take it. If he took it, it would leave trouble. Although he was not afraid of Xu Damao, as the saying goes, if you are not afraid of thieves, you are afraid of thieves. The thief misses.

"You are looking down on Brother Xu," Xu Damao pretended to be angry, but it was actually a test, because Xu Damao has been a little bit confused about Li Guocheng recently.

"Brother Damao, we have been neighbors for many years. It is said that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. Who should we turn to? If you pay me, it will be a slap in my face. Although I don't agree with your matter, everyone does. If you have your own way of living, no one else can criticize you." Li Guocheng also started practicing Tai Chi.

"The situation, your friend, my brother has taken note of it, and we will deal with it slowly in the future," Xu Damao said with rare sincerity.

"We are here today, and there is no peace at home. Let's have a drink together tomorrow, and have a good drink." Xu Damao smiled and shook Li Guocheng's hand hard.Turn around and go out.

"He is a nimble master, able to pick up and put down," Li Guocheng thought to himself.

With his mind extended, he saw Xu Damao entering the room and wanted to explain to Yu Xiao'e, but Yu Xiao'e obviously didn't want to pay attention.Xu Damao probably knew that he was screwed, so he picked up a plate of peanuts and drank some wine.Li Guocheng immediately retreated his mind power.
