Siheyuan: Happy life of veteran drivers

After walking out of Xu's house, Wang Hongtao still felt a little dizzy.

With just a cursory glance, Wang Hongtao estimated that there were at least two to three thousand dollars in the suitcase, which was a huge sum of money at that time. Even the richest man in the hospital would have to save it for three to five years.

Just give it as you say?

But there is one thing that Lou Xiao'e said was not wrong. You have given away the person, so why do you still care about these material things?

Keeping Lou Xiao'e's kindness deep in his heart, Wang Hongtao went home, took a walk and went to Xu's house again.

Many people in the courtyard saw Xu Damao coming back today, so Wang Hongtao's visit to Xu's house was also legitimate. Everyone in the courtyard knew that the two families had a good relationship.

"Please keep the things you give you safe. It's not a big deal if someone finds out that the things are missing, but I'm afraid it will cause trouble." Lou Xiao'e warned.

It's acceptable to have some money at home these days, but if you are found to have hidden valuables, you will be in big trouble.

But Wang Hongtao didn't have this worry. What place could be safer than space?

"Don't worry, Ezi. I hid it very well. Even Ah Huang can't find it."

"By the way, Ezi, your family has such conditions, why did you marry Xu Damao?"

Lou Xiao'e pursed her lips and said sullenly, "It's all because of my mom."

"Xu Damao's mother used to be our family's servant. She was always good at flattering my mother."

"After Xu Damao's mother found out that I was unmarried, she ran to my mother and said a lot of good things about Xu Damao."

"My mother was a weak-willed person and believed what Xu Damao's mother said. It just so happened that things were not going well at that time, and my father was busy donating his family property, so he didn't ask about it in detail."

"So I married Xu Damao without knowing what was going on. It was only after I got married that I realized that what Xu Damao said was completely different from what his mother said."

Lou Xiao'e said depressedly.

Wang Hongtao nodded in agreement.

Most marriages at that time were like this. The quality of the blind date depended entirely on the matchmaker, and it was considered good if the man and woman could meet once or twice before marriage.

It is not uncommon for couples to register for marriage upon their first meeting.

As Xu Damao's biological mother, she praised Xu Damao to the sky!

"Xu Damao is really lucky."

"But then again, if you hadn't married Xu Damao, I wouldn't have met you, so it was a wrong move."

Wang Hongtao hugged Lou Xiaoe and started talking:

"You don't know, but when I first saw you in the yard, I thought: It's over, how can this woman be so beautiful? I'm afraid I can't escape this pit in my life!"

Lou Xiao'e narrowed her eyes happily and said cheerfully, "Really? I said that the way you looked at me was a little strange. Fortunately, Xu Damao treated you as a good person and invited you to drink. But on the first night, you took me..."

“Hehe!” Wang Hongtao said with a wicked smile: “It’s all for you, my sister-in-law. From the first moment I saw you, I knew that I had made friends with Brother Damao!”

"Bah, Xu Damao still thinks you are an honest man. He will be so angry if he knows!" Lou Xiao'e spat and scolded.

"I still can't believe it. I actually fell in love with a man who bullied me when we just met. It's incredible."

Wang Hongtao smiled and said, "I never said I was a good person. Being a good person is too tiring. How can it be easier to be a bad person?"

As he spoke, Wang Hongtao repeated the theory of good guys and bad guys.

"Hmph, I find you are really shameless. You can make anything you say make sense." Lou Xiao'e said with a pout.

"You just calculated that I wouldn't dare to speak out, and you kept bullying me because you were afraid that it would get out. You are such a bad guy..."

Wang Hongtao quickly hugged Lou Xiaoe and defended himself, "No, when have I ever bullied you? I'm sorry I didn't love you enough."

Lou Xiao'e snorted twice: "You are bullying me. If you are not bullying me, then what are you doing now?"

Wang Hongtao said seriously: "I do this because I like you. Besides, don't you like me treating you this way too?"

"When I say bullying, I mean lying to you, making you sad, and making you upset. I don't do any of these, do I?"

"It's not like I don't know how to pretend and play tricks. If I really want to bully you, I can make you cry eight meals a day, and then you still think I'm a good person. Do you believe it?"

Lou Xiao'e looked at Xu Damao lying on the table and nodded in agreement: "You are right. You treated me like this, but Xu Damao still thinks you are a good person and that you are his good brother."

"I'm not as good as Xu Damao at judging people. If you lie to me, I won't be able to find out!"

"Really? Let me tell you another secret. I actually have money in my pocket. I asked the old man to borrow money so that the neighbors would think that I was poor and that I lived a good life by borrowing money. This way, the neighbors would not be jealous of me or doubt me."

Lou Xiao'e gave all her private money to him, so Wang Hongtao naturally couldn't hide it from her anymore.

"Ah, where did you get the money when you just started working?" Lou Xiao'e asked puzzledly.

"I'll tell you another secret, don't tell anyone."

"Yeah." Lou Xiao'e nodded her head like a chick pecking at rice, her eyes sparkling with interest.

"Last time my house was robbed I said fifty dollars was missing but actually nothing was lost. So I earned fifty dollars for nothing!"

"Also, the IOU from Jia Zhang is actually the money I borrowed from her, not the money she borrowed from me. There is another hundred dollars in total."

.....

Lou Xiao'e opened her eyes wide and looked extremely shocked.

"you you……"

"When I saw Jia Zhang was so aggrieved, I thought she was just pretending, but I didn't expect..."

"Haha, you didn't expect that, did you? Who asked her to scheme against my house? I, Wang Hongtao, eat everything but never suffer a loss!"

"If you dare to plot against me, you must be prepared to be plotted against by me."

Lou Xiao'e looked at Lao Wang with admiration: "I was wondering why Jia Zhang ran away when she saw you. It turns out she was scared of you."

Wang Hongtao laughed and said, "Jia Zhang? This old woman is very smart. Most people are no match for her."

"Do you think she has been dominating the hospital for so many years just because she is throwing tantrums and being unreasonable?"

"If she were such an idiot, she would have been driven back to the countryside long ago."

"She knows how to choose the right person for the job. She uses the easy ones to bully to gain power, but when she meets a tough guy she can't beat, she runs back home and hides."

"And every time she throws a tantrum, she has a purpose. She only does it when she can get some real benefits."

"Let Qin Huairu act pitiful at the whole hospital meeting, and then let her go to Sha Zhu and cry about her poverty, then she will get help, right? It's much easier than doing odd jobs."

Lou Xiao'e's eyes sparkled as she looked at Wang Hongtao with admiration: "I didn't expect that you have seen the problems of the hospital so thoroughly after such a short time here. I don't think Xu Damao sees them as clearly as you do!"

Wang Hongtao waved his hand: "Don't compare Xu Damao to me. He only looks smart, but he's actually worse than Sha Zhu."

"He has argued with Shazhu so many times, which time did he get the upper hand?"

"Why? Isn't it because he is incompetent? He was distracted by the old man after just a few words, and even his reason became unreasonable."

"On the contrary, Shazhu, who usually makes jokes and seems to be carefree, always manages to minimize his punishment."

Lou Xiao'e thought about it carefully and realized that this was indeed the case.

Every time Sha Zhu and Xu Damao had a conflict, they would start by bickering, then Xu Damao would be beaten, and then Yi Zhonghai would come out to mediate.

The smooth-talk approach seems fair, but in fact it always favors Shazhu.

The next time a conflict breaks out, Xu Damao will still be beaten.

After Lou Xiao'e figured it out, she curled her lips and said, "Then I will listen to you more in the future, so as not to be led astray by Xu Damao."
