Siheyuan: Xu Damao corrects his evil ways

Chapter 48 48, Tan Family’s Old House
  This kind of thing is like this, either don't talk to me, or help me in one step.

Xu Damao didn't talk to him, so Director Lu would naturally stop mumbling about this. In fact, Director Lu will basically behave like this when he comes from a city.

At first, there were two people who didn't know that Lu Juan was mute, but they also introduced one or two widowed people.

You may be able to hide it for a while, but you won't be able to hide it forever.

She collapsed as soon as she met the man, but asked Director Lu to find any niece of his who had physical problems or was older than him. Director Lu was reluctant to give up, so he could only treat a dead horse as a live doctor every time, just in case it succeeded.

After eating and drinking, Xu Damao went to the place to check again the things prepared by the commune.

Then naturally find a place to sleep and wait for the night.

At this time, there is no such thing as a widow getting under the covers. Without him, there would be no old sweetheart.

When Xu Damao was at ease, Lou Tan also took Lou Xiao'e to a secluded small courtyard.

Both mother and daughter were dressed simply, just like ordinary people. That is to say, the skin color on the face is always a little different for others to see.

Not all the courtyard houses in Sijiu City are like those in Nanluoguxiang, with three entrances and four entrances. Those houses are either the residences of bureaucrats or wealthy businessmen.

Although people in the alley said that the courtyard belonged to some high-ranking official's house, Lao Xu said, who the heck, some high-ranking official lived here.

Looking at the location of the steel rolling mill, it is clear that it cannot be in the inner city. Even according to future calculations, it is at least around the third ring road of Forty-Nine City.

So the most likely alleys in Nanluoguxiang are the houses of some businessmen.

Xu Damao didn't know whether there were new or old buildings, but the whole alley looked the same.

Lou Tan took Lou Xiao'e and looked at the courtyard, which was also in a similar position. If a circle was drawn with the steel rolling mill as the center, this small courtyard upon entering would be closer than Xu Damao's house.

Lou Tan looked at the yard in front of her with a sense of loss. Lou Xiao'e beside her looked at her mother and asked strangely: "Mom, when did you buy this yard? It's so shabby and old."

Lou Tan fell into memories. After being awakened by Lou Xiao'e, he said with a somewhat emotional expression: "This is the house where my mother lived when she was a child. Your grandparents and I went to Sijiu City to visit relatives and lived here.

From now on, this will be your house. "

Lou Xiao'e was a little surprised when she heard that this was her mother's house, but she still looked at the yard in front of her with disgust.

After all, it has been uninhabited for a long time, and there is dust everywhere. The dilapidated houses definitely show desolation.

That is to say, the Lou family still has some face at this time, otherwise they would not be able to save the house.

Lou Xiao'e naturally knew that this was the dowry prepared by the Lou Tan family for her. Her marriage to Xu Damao was under the auspices of Lou Bancheng. On the surface, nothing would be given to Lou Xiao'e.

Instead, all unimportant properties will be donated.

Xu Damao naturally knew that Lou Bancheng was doing useless work, even if Lou Bancheng donated all his wealth now. When the wind blows, there will still be bad luck.

But this kind of thing is not his property. Lou Bancheng wants to donate it, so what can he do? In fact, the best way out for the Lou family now is to imitate the Shanghai Rong family, selling the assets in the Mainland that can be sold, handing over all the ones that cannot be sold, and then go to Hong Kong Island to play the role of an agent.

But don't say that Xu Damao was Lou Bancheng's cheap son-in-law at this time. Even if Xu Damao was Lou Bancheng's biological son at this time, Lou Bancheng would slap him in the face if he made this suggestion.

Good money is hard to part with, and this is true for most people. For example, what Lou Bancheng did most was to sacrifice his car to protect his coach. Until the last moment of despair, I will never abandon everything and start all over again.

Xu Damao would tell Lou Tan some things, so now Lou Tan has begun to slowly sell off some unused real estate in her name.

Of course, there is nothing under Lou Tan's name now. Apart from some yellow and white things that her parents left her, it was just some small property that Lou Bancheng gave her to make her feel at ease.

Now, taking the opportunity to prepare a dowry for my daughter, it is also a good opportunity to sell those things.

It is nonsense to say that Lou Tan completely believes in Xu Damao now.

But since she married her only daughter, Lou Xiaoe, to Xu Damao, she and Xu Damao naturally became a family. This relationship was even closer than the relationship between Lou Tan and Lou Bancheng.

Lou Bancheng has more than just her daughter-in-law, and Lou Xiao'e has more than just a daughter.

However, Xu Damao is Lou Tan's only son-in-law. Without experiencing what happened later, Lou Tan will naturally not think about letting his daughter remarry in the future.

These days, for a woman, being with someone, no matter if he is a chicken or a dog, is a lifelong matter.

Lou Tan was dissatisfied when he saw his daughter, which was normal. Compared with the Lou family's small foreign-style building, this place was almost like a slum.

The people living here were indeed the original slums, and later became a place where small craftsmen gathered to live. Comparatively speaking, this area is more chaotic than the one in Nanluoguxiang.

But since Lou Tan has arranged for his daughter to come here, she naturally has her own plans.

Lou Tan led Lou Xiao'e and pushed open the ajar door. Lou Xiao'e was pleasantly surprised inside. Although the decoration was simple, it was better than the shabby ones outside.

After all, it has been decorated, and the quaint furniture is not inconsistent with the old house. But in the opinion of Lou Xiao'e, who comes from a wealthy family, the artistic content of these things is very high.

The house was clean and had obviously been tidied up in advance. Seeing Lou Xiao'e's strange expression, Lou Tan couldn't help but laugh and said: "I told you, this is my old residence. Since it is my old residence, what's the problem with meeting a few old people?

Several families living nearby came from the south with Grandpa You and the others. Although our family was in decline at that time, it was still possible to arrange for a few old friends to chew grain. They are all conscientious people. One day I will introduce you to them. "

After that, he took Lou Xiao'e to the inner room again. It is normal for a wealthy family to have a small cellar for hiding things.

But Lou Xiao'e didn't expect that her grandfather, whom she had never met before, would be so shrewd. The entrance is right next to the door into the inner room, but the cellar is under the table in the main room. The passage is built very deep, so that even if you walk on it, you won't feel the movement underground.

At the entrance, there was a dressing table. If it weren't for Lou Tan's guidance, Lou Xiao'e would never have thought of such an operation.

Lou Tan smiled bitterly and said: "Although my father said he escaped from difficulties, he brought a lot of household belongings with him. In other words, my family here in Sijiu City was not easy to get along with, otherwise I would not have married into the Lou family."

"Mom." Lou Xiao'e hugged Lou Tan.
