Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

Xu Damao was well aware of Tang Yanling's purpose in trying to please him.

He had experienced this kind of thing far too often with Qin Huairu.

After letting the stalks dry for a while, Xu Damao decided to give them a treat.

"Bang Geng, have you remembered everything I told you?"

Before Bang Geng left, Tang Yanling repeatedly told him that he must listen to Xu Damao.

He had to do whatever Xu Damao told him to do.

If you behave well, you'll get a reward when you get home.

Bang Geng was very obedient because of Tang Yanling's reward.

This performance made Xu Damao particularly happy, and he carried the stick with him all day.

Banggeng followed Xu Damao to the construction site and met Wu Tiezhu and Qin Jingru.

Qin Jingru looked at Bang Geng in surprise: "Why are you here?"

Banggeng said shyly, "Uncle Xu asked me to come and help him."

Qin Jingru nodded: "Great idea, listen to your aunt and work hard with Xu Damao."

Don't be like your mother.
When your mother was a child, she liked to slack off when doing chores.

Look at your aunt, she earns quite a bit with her own hard work.

Bang Geng wanted to argue, but found that he couldn't find any reason to do so.

He had never seen Qin Huairu in the countryside, but he had heard about her working at the steel rolling mill.

People in the neighborhood are saying that Qin Huairu works at the steel rolling mill and is lazy every day.

It is said that when Qin Huairu took early retirement, someone in the steel rolling mill set off firecrackers to celebrate her departure.

"Got it, auntie."

Qin Jingru, seeing that Banggeng was sensible, nodded in satisfaction: "It's good that you can remember it."

Look how well your uncle and I have been living these past two years.

Go for it. "

Banggeng hesitated for a moment, then asked in a low voice, "Auntie, is Shazhu coming back to the construction site today?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Jingru's face darkened: "You ignored what I just told you."

You all complain every day that He Yuzhu doesn't take care of you.

Why don't you think about how you treat others?

You keep calling people by their nicknames, who's going to pay you any attention?

Banggeng opened his mouth, but didn't dare to speak.

He was taught from a young age that the people in the courtyard were born indebted to the Jia family.

The people in the courtyard should unconditionally help the Jia family.

He knew the idea was wrong, but he also enjoyed the benefits it brought.

Qin Jingru saw Xu Damao calling out to Banggeng, so she nudged him and said, "They're calling you over there, hurry up and go."

Upon seeing this, Banggeng immediately ran over to Xu Damao's side.

Miao Jianye also saw Bang Geng, and after he left, he came over.

"Jingru, that was a joke just now, wasn't it?"

Upon seeing Miao Jianye, Qin Jingru immediately greeted him with a smile: "President Miao, this is Banggeng. He came with President Xu."

Miao Jianye frowned and muttered, "What is Xu Damao up to?"

He had heard some rumors about Xu Damao, but Xu Damao bringing in sticks puzzled him.

Qin Jingru was close enough to hear what he said clearly. However, Qin Jingru didn't dare to explain for Bang Geng.

She was also afraid that the Jia family's affairs would affect her work.

Miao Jianye didn't say anything, and turned to leave.

At noon, Xu Damao stayed at the construction site for lunch.

"Go find your aunt and ask her to get me something to eat."

Banggeng then came over to Qin Jingru: "Auntie, Uncle Xu asked you to get him something to eat."

Qin Jingru smiled and said, "I know, I've already prepared it for you."

This was saved for you; please take it to him.

I specially prepared something delicious for you.

Banggeng carried the dishes to Xu Damao's office.

Xu Damao called Banggeng to eat: "How's it going?"

Bang Geng said, "It feels alright."

Xu Damao said, "You're quite arrogant. Don't complain about the environment here."

The environment is bad, but the money is high.

Look at those cement carriers, they earn more than you.

Our construction site is much better than other construction sites.

He Yuzhu also set up a makeshift bathhouse on the construction site.

Bang Geng still looks down on those who do manual labor. He had never experienced hardship growing up, and all he saw were people who lived well.

To others, Xu Damao is a successful big boss.

In his view, Xu Damao only made his fortune by flattering He Yuzhu.

If it were him, he could do a better job than Xu Damao.

Xu Damao didn't really intend to teach Bang Geng, so he just invited him to eat.

"Eat quickly, and after you finish, come with me."

This run lasted all afternoon.

Xu Damao borrowed a car from He Yuzhu and went out in it.

Banggeng got on the bus, looking left and right, his eyes filled with undisguised envy.

Xu Damao saw this and said, "Want to drive?"

Banggeng nodded heavily.

For some reason, he always felt he should drive.

This feeling is quite accurate.

Back then, Sha Zhu took the route of a high-ranking leader and got into a ministry.

The leaders in the ministries were subordinates of the higher-ups, and they knew that Banggeng had been introduced by the higher-ups, so they took great care of Banggeng.

Bang Geng had a particularly comfortable time working in the ministry.

Xu Damao deliberately changed the subject: "If you want to drive, then work hard. When you have money, you can buy one yourself."

Bang Geng asked, "Uncle Xu, don't you want to buy yourself a car?"

Xu Damao said, "Even if I bought it, I wouldn't know how to drive it."

“I can drive you,” Banggeng blurted out.

Xu Damao laughed: "Does your mother really want you to drive? You're supposed to be a literary genius reincarnated."

Bang Geng felt awkward.

Xu Fugui and his wife had heard a lot of stories outside, so they carried their things into the courtyard house.

"Old Li."

When Li Dagen saw Xu Fugui, he quickly stood up and said, "Old Xu, what brings you here? Come in and sit down."

Xu Fugui followed Li Dagen into the house and immediately asked, "What's the story behind the rumors outside?"

"Has Da Mao done something again?"

Li Dagen also heard the rumors circulating outside and knew that they were highly suspicious.

"Don't worry. Those rumors outside just popped up out of nowhere."

I don't know who spread it.

Xu Fugui said, "Who else could it be? It must be someone from our compound."

I don't care about the rumors; I just want to know if Da Mao is really as the rumors say.

Speaking of this, Li Dagen wasn't sure either.

The main problem is that Xu Damao's character is really not reassuring.

"It's true that Xu Damao ate with them."

I heard that he had dinner with Lao Liu's son.

I figured there were so many people, nothing would go wrong, so I didn't really ask about it.

As for Da Mao having women on both sides, I really didn't know.

"Then, when Guangtian and Guangfu return, we'll ask them both."

Xu Fugui waved his hand: "No need to ask. I know my son. Even if it's not as strange as the rumors say, there must be something wrong with him."

That little brat, he's driving me crazy!

Li Dagen advised, "Don't be angry. Things are more open now, and it's normal for men and women to hug and kiss."

As long as it's not excessive, it's fine.

Although Da Mao is unreliable, I believe he still has a sense of propriety.

The question now is, who exactly spread the rumors?

Xu Fugui's first suspect was Yi Zhonghai.

Li Dagen disagreed: "Old Yi is just an old man now, and the old women on the street, who would talk to him about this?"

“That’s from Old Liu’s family. His wife likes to talk about this with outsiders,” said Xu’s mother.

The Liu family is indeed a suspect.

The Liu brothers, Guangtian and Guangtian, must have seen it all while they were eating at the Xu family's house.

"The Liu family still needs Da Mao to make money, don't they?"

"Who is that?"

Xu Fugui and his wife thought of Jia Zhangshi, but Jia Zhangshi didn't go out either.

In the end, suspicion fell on Yan Bugui. (End of Chapter)
