Courtyard House: Report enemy agents at the start, and you'll take off immediately.

As a result, not only did the matchmaking attempt fail, but half a day's wages were also lost.

They even missed the chance to take advantage of Xu Damao.

Meanwhile, in the backyard, Xu Damao was watching with wide eyes as Zhao De directed several craftsmen to move furniture.

"Hey Zhao De, you've struck it rich, haven't you?"

"Of course, isn't he getting married soon?"

"what?"

.......................

Chapter Sixteen: Yan Bugui saw Yu Li go to the backyard!

"Did you buy that bicycle outside?"

"Is this sewing machine also newly purchased?"

"Any new watches?"

Xu Damao's attention finally shifted from the new furniture to those three big pieces of furniture.

Goodness, all that's missing is a radio to complete the "three turns and one sound"!

His long, horse-like face was now filled with doubt about life.

Surprisingly, no one has told him what major event happened yesterday!

Zhao De glanced at the Shanghai brand watch on his left wrist and naturally flicked his wrist.

...................

"That's right, these are all new items I bought in the last two days!"

"If you're not willing to lend a hand, then please step aside. Can't you see I'm incredibly busy?"

Zhao De and several other workers loaded the old wardrobes, cabinets, bedside tables, and other items onto a flatbed truck.

This isn't about abandoning them; rather, it's about selling these old items to a family in a nearby yard.

Xu Damao was quite well-behaved, standing quietly to the side waiting for Zhao De to finish his work.

After all, he was also curious about what was going on!

A dozen minutes later, Zhao De picked up a towel and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Xu Damao immediately stepped forward.

Zhao De spoke before he could:

"Da Mao, don't ask me any more questions. I need to hurry up and make lunch."

"If you want to know the details, just ask around in our yard."

"Speaking of which, I really did you a big favor this time, so remember to thank me properly later!"

That's right, that's exactly it!

Zhao De reported his nemesis, Sha Zhu, to the authorities.

......................

As for Xu Damao, Zhao De's relationship with him was neither good nor bad; it was just so-so.

Although he gives the impression of being the worst character in the show.

However, he is clearly evil; you can tell from his facial expressions.

Compared to the other people in the courtyard, Zhao De didn't dislike this straightforward and petty person.

The only thing he disliked was...

This guy is incredibly jealous; he'll betray anyone.

He doesn't even spare his own father, let alone his brothers, benefactors, or wife; he's truly selfish to the extreme.

In short, regarding Xu Damao...

As long as he doesn't provoke him, Zhao De won't deliberately provoke this villain.

"Okay, then you go ahead and do your thing!"

Eager to learn, Xu Damao turned and walked away.

However, they had only taken a few steps outside the door.

Then he saw Yan Bugui fawningly approaching him.

"Da Mao, you're back! Did things go smoothly on your trip to the countryside?"

"It's nothing, I'm perfectly fine, besides, what could possibly happen to me!"

Xu Damao wasn't stupid; he immediately saw through the fact that this old man was looking for a bargain.

He never expected that he had already passed the gate.

This old man actually chased after me all the way to my house.

......................

"Uncle, I want to ask you something. What's the deal with Zhao De?"

I wasn't planning to pay any attention to it at first, but then I remembered what Zhao De had done earlier.

Xu Damao then casually took out a string of wild mushrooms and handed it to him.

“Hey, you’ve come to the right person. I know Zhao De’s situation better than anyone else in the neighborhood.”

Xu Damao's initiative to ask Yan Bugui was somewhat unexpected.

However, upon hearing his question, I immediately understood his intention.

After Yan Bugui recounted what had happened to Zhao De the previous day.

Xu Damao's already small eyes widened instantly.

The horse's face was filled with shock.

"You mean he reported that Sha Zhu was carrying a lunchbox?"

"Why didn't I think of that!"

"I was wondering why I didn't see Qin Huairu and the others when I came back. Turns out they've all been sent in!"

After learning the whole story, Xu Damao greatly admired Zhao De's skill.

He considered himself very good at playing underhanded tricks.

Unexpectedly, Zhao De was even more adept at this than he was.

......................

"But in the end, he was just lucky to catch an enemy agent. When will I be able to catch one too?"

Xu Damao thought of Zhao De's three precious gadgets and the pile of newly purchased furniture.

Their eyes were red with envy.

Although he earns a little over thirty yuan a month, he also receives a subsidy when he goes to the countryside to screen movies.

Farmers and communes would also give him various agricultural products.

In addition, his wife, Lou Xiao'e, also came from a well-off family.

But when it comes to buying a bicycle...

I have the money, but I don't have any tickets to buy bicycles!

In this day and age, who doesn't want a cool bicycle?

There were three people of the same generation in the courtyard.

He, Sha Zhu, and Zhao De.

I thought he would be the first to own a bicycle, but Zhao Dejie beat me to it.

What frustrated him even more was that Zhao De was about to get married again.

Looking back, he could still boast to them that he had a wife to warm his bed, while they weren't even married yet.

But from now on, I'm afraid I can only show off in front of Sha Zhu.

"Da Mao, you need to be more careful. Zhao De is on the rise right now, and we can't afford to mess with him. None of us can afford to mess with him."

Yan Bugui knew Xu Damao's temperament well.

......................

If you were to ask who in the courtyard loves to show off and is vain the most, and who is most prone to jealousy and envy...

Who is best at playing the villain?

If Xu Damao says he's second, then probably no one would dare claim to be first.

Considering the large bunch of wild mushrooms he brought, Yan Bugui kindly offered a reminder.
