Courtyard Houses: Starting as a Purchasing Agent

Xu Damao laughed heartily: "Auntie Yi, don't worry, I just bought a new motorcycle. I don't have the money right now, but wait a little longer. I'll definitely pay you next year!"

Xu Damao was certain that Yi Zhonghai wouldn't easily ask for money.

After all, he's an old man, a moral exemplar.

How could he possibly ask me for my wages!

So they relentlessly exploited Yi Zhonghai's leeks.

Let's drag it out as long as we can. Once they've come back in a year or two, I can just give them a few coins, right?

A 30/70 split?

Hehe... people.

Chapter 229 Jia Zhangshi angrily berates He Yuzhu

To put it bluntly, Xu Damao was just taking advantage of Uncle Yi.

They exploited his hypocrisy to make money for themselves.

Uncle Yi was too embarrassed to fight for his own interests, so he could only be exploited by Xu Damao.

Anyway, he's not working for Xu Damao now, and he has no other work to do elsewhere.

"That won't do!" Aunt Yi said, pulling Xu Damao's hand. "The New Year is just around the corner, and we don't even have money for it. How can you wait until after the New Year?"

"If you give it to us next year, how will our family survive this year?"

"Okay, okay, okay!" Xu Damao said with a somewhat displeased expression, "I understand, Aunt Yi, please wait a moment, I'll find a way to give you your money in a couple of days!"

The woman believed it to be true.

……

Over the next few days, Liu Aiguo first held a meeting in his office, bringing together Assistant Chen and several key personnel from the automobile manufacturing plant to discuss the feasibility of manufacturing motorcycles. "410"

The result was naturally a direct pass.

He then went to Director Yang's office to see Yao Di.

Director Yang is now the head of Beijing. When he heard that Liu Aiguo was going to start a business again, he was so happy that he gave him a large abandoned factory.

This place used to be a machinery factory, but it was vacant after the factory merged and went bankrupt, so it was perfect for Liu Aiguo to use.

Liu Aiguo then ordered people to begin transforming the factory and building production lines.

At the same time, a new round of recruitment began in Beijing.

It created tens of thousands of jobs in Beijing.

After the motorcycle factory matter was settled and some initial progress was made, it was almost Chinese New Year.

Television factories have started to close for the holidays, but KFC stores are doing booming business.

Liu Aiguo personally returned to Hong Kong to bring Xiaolong, Xiaohu, Qingqing, and Lingling over, and the family happily prepared for the New Year together.

As for the supplies for the Lunar New Year, they have naturally been prepared.

Not much meat was prepared, as Liu Aiguo's system always had it, whether it was pork, beef, mutton, or seafood.

Plenty of fruits and nuts were also prepared.

At this time, Director Lou had already moved out of the courtyard house and moved to Lou's Restaurant, no longer living with Liu Aiguo.

So the old deaf woman's room was left empty. Liu Aiguo renovated it, and the children moved into it after they arrived, no longer needing to look for a place to stay.

Of course, the Lou family did not completely move out of the courtyard house.

The old lady's house was vacated, but He Yuzhu and Lou Xiao'e still occasionally returned to live in the courtyard. The place they lived in was He Yuzhu's house next to Qin Huairu's house in the middle courtyard.

On this day, He Yuzhu and Lou Xiao'e returned.

buzzing...

A black Mercedes-Benz with a tiger-head logo was parked in the central courtyard.

He Yuzhu, dressed in a suit and tie, got out of the car.

Lou Xiao'e, dressed in a fur coat, returned to the compound with He Yuzhu's arm around her, the two looking very intimate.

Everyone in the compound greeted him naturally.

After all, Lou Xiao'e had a good reputation, and she was also wealthy and generous to the people in the courtyard, so the elderly men and women in the courtyard all liked Lou Xiao'e.

As for He Yuzhu...

He Yuzhu has changed so much recently. Both his personality and appearance give people a sense of unfathomable depth.

No one dared to underestimate him.

"Xiao'e!" Aunt San said with a smile, "I heard you and Zhuzi are getting married soon. When are you going to invite us to dinner?"

“Yes!” Uncle Yi chimed in.

Lou Xiao'e said with a smile, "We're not having a wedding ceremony. Zhu Zi and I have already registered our marriage, so let's skip it!"

"At such an old age, people will laugh at you!"

"However!" Lou Xiao'e added, "I'll hand out wedding candy to everyone later!"

"Great!" Everyone was naturally happy, as they wouldn't have to give out money as a gift.

At this moment, Jia Zhangshi ran out of the house. Seeing Lou Xiao'e and He Yuzhu being so intimate, especially after seeing He Yuzhu, her face turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

This was the first time she had seen He Yuzhu since she was released from prison.

It was also the first time that He Yuzhu and Lou Xiao'e had seen Granny Jia.

The two were surprised to see that Granny Jia had a full head of white hair: Granny Jia had only been in prison for two years, and she had aged so much.

sizzle...

I don't dare to recognize you.

"Hmph..." Madam Jia snorted coldly, splashing the wash water in her hand directly at He Yuzhu, cursing as she said, "Shameless thing, heartless bastard, why didn't you die sooner!"

"How good have we, the Jia family, been to you?"

"Wash your clothes?"

"Will you eat and drink?"

"I've been your wife, I've worked like a slave for you, how can you be so heartless?"

"Ah...you abandoned our Huairu, why don't you just die?"

Although no name was mentioned, He Yuzhu's expression immediately changed: "Grandma Jia...who are you talking about?"

Madam Jia said, "Anyone who says that will know. You heartless wretch, you deserve to die!"

"Alright!" Lou Xiao'e took He Yuzhu's hand and said, "Brother Zhu, let's not argue with her!"

"Let's go back inside!"

Lou Xiao'e chose to avoid trouble and not get involved with Jia Zhangshi...

He Yuzhu nodded as well.

But Madam Jia Zhang spoke up again: "Lou Xiao'e, you should be careful too... This thing is no good, you don't know that, do you? More than ten years ago, it was he who reported it to the Revolutionary Committee. The evidence provided by the deaf old lady forced your whole family to leave for Hong Kong for more than ten years!"

"Are you still seeing him?"

"Are you blind?"

shuh...

All eyes turned to Lou Xiao'e.

This matter has been kept from Lou Xiao'e all along!

Now that Jia Zhangshi has actually exposed it, I wonder what Lou Xiao'e will think?

however!

Lou Xiao'e smiled faintly and said, "I know, Brother Zhu told me about it... Speaking of which, I should thank Brother Zhu. If it weren't for him reporting us, how could we have gone to Hong Kong, how could we have such a good life?"

Of course!

This is only part of the reason.

What truly made Lou Xiao'e forgive He Yuzhu was that He Yuzhu had initially targeted Xu Damao.

The reason for reporting them was to retaliate against Xu Damao.

It wasn't directed at the Lou family.

To be honest, the Lou family didn't suffer any losses.

Later, He Yuzhu brought up the matter again, and Lou's father chuckled and said, "Even if you hadn't reported it, our family would have been dealt with sooner or later. It was your early report that allowed us to go to Hong Kong ahead of time. If you hadn't reported it in advance, we probably wouldn't have even had the chance to go to Hong Kong!"

"Let's go, Brother Zhu!"

Lou Xiao'e stepped into the house, holding He Yuzhu's hand.

Madam Jia was dumbfounded: What's going on?

They simply don't care?
