Siheyuan: Since 1962

Chapter 173: Acting
"We are all neighbors. We can't just watch Lou Xiao'e get into trouble. This is unnecessary."

He Daqing put his hands in his sleeves and refused without thinking.

Accepting the money would make it seem like he was following Lou Xiao'e just for the money, which made him feel very uncomfortable.

The most important thing is, with this favor, if anything happens to Yu Shui and Sha Zhu, the Lou family will definitely help them if it is convenient. This is worth much more than some money.

"Yes, we are all neighbors. Director Lou, you are being too polite."

Weibing Zhou felt disdainful in his heart. It was indeed the behavior of big capitalists.

Guard Zhou also didn't answer. After responding, he smiled and said, "We can't help much here, so we'll go back first. We have to go to work tomorrow."

It is not appropriate for them to stay at this time. After all, this is the Lou family's family affair. Getting involved will only bring trouble to themselves.

He Yushui hesitated for a moment and asked softly, "Uncle Lou, should we tell Xu Damao about Sister Xiao'e's matter?"

Lou Ruizhong escorted the three people to the stairs and said apologetically, "No need. I have already sent someone to notify Xu Damao. It's not safe at night. I'll ask the driver to take you back. I'm really worried about Xiao'e here, so I won't take you there. Sorry."

"We are all parents, so please don't be polite and go back quickly."

He Daqing smiled and said something polite, then turned around and left with the two of them.

Watching the three people go downstairs, Lou Ruizhong's face suddenly turned cold.

Over the years, no one has dared to touch Lou Bancheng's people in Sijiu City. Even though his Lou family is not as powerful as before, not everyone can step on them.

Regardless of whether this was a coincidence or a test, that little thief will have a hard time.

If there is someone behind him, then we will deal with that person as well. Even if we can't beat him, we will tear off a piece of his flesh!
the other side.

When He Daqing and the other two returned to the yard by car, they saw Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui standing in the middle of the front yard chatting in low voices.

"Lou Xiao'e was robbed and is now in the hospital. She is fine now."

Without waiting for the two to ask, He Daqing directly told them about the situation on Lou Xiao'e's side.

"I'm glad you're okay. Xu Damao is still sleeping in the room. No matter how much we shout, he won't wake up. Lao He, you have a lot of ideas. Is there any way to wake him up? If we keep dragging it out, Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e will get divorced."

Liu Haizhong's eyes were full of anxiety. He hadn't even gotten comfortable in his position as a rich man yet, and he didn't want another scandal like divorce to happen in the yard.

The factory has guaranteed Yi Zhonghai's case, so the subdistrict office will not pursue the matter. But if they end up getting a divorce, they won't be able to even think about winning the advanced award this year.

If everyone doesn't get the advanced rewards at the end of the year, he will be knocked down from his position as the boss.

"I'll go make some hangover soup. Lao Liu, you make some salt water and force it down Xu Damao's throat until he vomits. Clear all the alcohol out of his stomach."

He Daqing was very skilled at this. He had seen at least five hundred drunkards, if not a thousand. He knew exactly how to sober up.

Although this method is somewhat harmful to the body, it is the fastest way to achieve results.

"Okay, okay, I'll go soak it in salt water right away. Old Yan, you go to Xu Damao and keep an eye on him first, and give me a hand later."

Liu Haizhong quickly agreed, said something to Yan Bugui, and hurried home.

Yan Bugui couldn't help but sigh, and then quickly walked towards the backyard.

"Yushui, Guard, both of you go back and rest. You have to be alert and refreshed for work tomorrow."

He Daqing was not in a hurry. He smiled and drove the two back to the house, then slowly started to make a fire and boil the soup.

That night, the three of them were very busy with the matters of Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e.

After sending Xu Damao back to the hospital, it was already late at night.

...the next day.

Lou Ruizhong called the steel rolling mill and asked Xu Damao for a day off.

"Xu Damao, what did you promise me when you married Xiao'e? If Master He and the others hadn't followed me yesterday, Xiao'e wouldn't be lying in the hospital now, don't you know?"

Lou Ruizhong came out of the study and scolded Xu Damao, who was sitting at the coffee table with his head down.

He let Xiao'e marry Xu Damao because he knew him well and Xiao'e would not be afraid of being bullied if she married him.

But now, Xiao'e was so angry that she ran home alone in the middle of the night.

He's a projectionist, doesn't he know how chaotic it is outside at night? How dare he do that!

"Dad, I was wrong. I shouldn't have lost my temper with Xiao'e."

Xu Damao lowered his head, clenched and unclenched his fists, and apologized humbly.

Even though he had many dissatisfactions with Lou Xiao'e, he did not dare to say it in front of Lou Ruizhong.

The difference in status made him fear his father-in-law from the bottom of his heart.

"I was wrong, I was wrong. I always say the same thing. What's the point of apologizing when something goes wrong?"

Seeing him like this, Lou Ruizhong became even angrier.

But after all, he has been through a lot all his life and knows that getting angry at this time will not solve any problems.

Xiao'e will continue to live with Xu Damao after all. If he scolds her too much, it will only cause more conflicts between them in the future.

He lit a cigarette, took two deep puffs, and then said in a deep voice: "Da Mao, I know you are not the kind of person who loses your temper easily. What happened this time that caused such a big conflict between you and Xiao'e?"

When Xu Damao arrived at the hospital yesterday, he reeked of alcohol and his speech was slurred. If someone hadn't supported him, he would have probably fallen to the ground.

Knowing that he wouldn't get anything out of him this way, he asked the driver to take him home and have a nap.

Xu Damao would naturally go there when Xiao'e got into trouble, but there was no need to rush to deal with the matter and clarify it.

"Dad, we quarreled because of the old lady in the backyard. Xiao'e should have told you that the old lady was taken care of by Yi Zhonghai's wife before. Now that Yi Zhonghai has been driven out of the yard, Xiao'e has been taking care of the old lady. I can't see Xiao'e every day when I go home. I have to wait until the old lady goes to bed at night before Xiao'e comes back. I was so angry that I quarreled with Xiao'e, but I didn't expect..."

Xu Damao still didn't look up, and there was a hint of anger in his voice when he spoke.

In their yard, he was the one who was scolded the most by the deaf old woman, and she always took sides with him.

The wife he married treated this deaf old woman as her own ancestor. Why?

Why should he support an old woman who always dislikes him? Is he a masochist?

After listening to Xu Damao's words, Lou Ruizhong fell silent.

After a long while, he said in a deep voice: "Da Mao, we will have a good talk with Xiao'e about the matter you mentioned. When we live together, there will always be quarrels and red faces. Things will be over when they are over."

"Um……"

Xu Damao responded without any change in his facial expression.

This was his father-in-law. Knowing that it was Lou Xiao'e's fault, he stopped talking.

If he was the one who made the mistake this time, he would probably be scolded right now.

He was never the son-in-law of the Lou family, but just a dog raised by the Lou family for Lou Xiao'e.
