Comfortable life in Siheyuan

By the time Xu Damao heard these gossips, it was already the next day. Xu Damao suddenly felt the veins on his forehead throbbing. His anger also rose.

In the morning, Xu Damao got up a little late, had breakfast and walked around in the yard. Looking at the expressions of the people, Xu Damao felt that these people were gossiping about him behind his back.

Standing in the middle courtyard, Xu Damao accidentally caught a glimpse of Jia Zhangshi and happened to meet her evasive gaze. Now Xu Damao had identified a target.

"Hey! Aunt Jia is coming out to bask in the sun. It's quite hot today. Why are you joining in the fun?" Xu Damao said this in a sarcastic tone, obviously a teasing.

"It's none of your business. Do I have to report to you just because I go out for a walk?" Jia Zhang retorted angrily.

"You're being unreasonable. I meant well. You said I was at home that day and let you watch TV for most of the day. I've only been away from home for a few days. Do you think it's interesting to say bad things about me?" Xu Damao said directly without hiding anything.

"Don't slander me here. I didn't say anything nonsense. I just said a few words. When will I have a chance to watch your big TV again? I didn't expect that the story would be so distorted." Jia Zhang's eyes kept rolling around and she kept talking nonsense.

"Well, you want to watch TV at my place? Dream on!"

After confronting Jia Zhang, Xu Damao felt much better and went home humming a little tune. Back in the house, Xu Damao deliberately turned on the TV very loudly just to satisfy his own evil taste.

Liu Qingshan also talked to Feng Yu about the house these two days. Today, he went to a restaurant and started wandering around.

However, no one who wants to buy a house now posts a house for sale, and I looked for a long time but couldn’t find any useful information.

Just when he was worried about what to do, Liu Qingshan went directly to the scrap yard. As soon as he arrived there, he saw Liu Guangtian riding a tricycle. Liu Qingshan walked over with a smile and patted Guangtian on the shoulder.

"Who? Brother, why are you here? Shouldn't you be going to work now?" Liu Guangtian asked with a smile.

"It's summer vacation now in school, so I'm not busy. My brother-in-law wants to look for a house, so I'll look for one for him." Liu Qingshan explained with a smile.

"Your brother-in-law also wants to buy a house. Does he also want a courtyard house? A big one or a small one?"

"Let's go with a smaller one, just one step in. He's not doing well with his hands." Liu Qingshan said with a smile.

"Then wait for me for two days and I'll help you find someone to ask."

"How have you been lately? I haven't seen you back to the courtyard for a long time?"

"I'm fine, but my eldest brother somehow found out about my family, and he's been trying to get close to me for a while now!"

Liu Guangtian's courtyard has been tidied up now. Although it is not as grand as before, it is much more spacious than the one where the Liu family lived.

"Why don't you just not say that you bought it yourself? You said that you rented that yard as a warehouse to store waste!" Liu Qingshan suggested.

"My son said he was a liar. He is a simple-minded kid and was scolded by my eldest brother. My parents have been coming to me for a while now, and I am so annoyed." Liu Guangtian frowned, looking worried.

"I can't say much about your family affairs, but you now have a house, a job, and a family. You are much better off than them. It's no wonder that your eldest brother is jealous." Liu Qingshan said.

"I don't owe them anything. You helped me get the job, and you helped me get the money for the house with my stuff. You've been filial to my parents for more than ten years, that's enough!"

When Liu Guangtian said this, he was obviously a little angry. And he looked down on his elder brother!

"I can't say much about your family, but I never mentioned your purchase of a house in the courtyard. Now that your parents know about it, everyone in our courtyard will know about it soon!"

There are no secrets in the courtyard. Whatever Second Uncle's family already knows, Second Aunt will definitely not be able to keep it to herself and will tell it out!

"I didn't mean to hide it from everyone in the courtyard. I mainly wanted to hide it from my parents! I don't covet their property, but I live my own life, and they can't think of taking advantage of it!" Liu Guangtian said it coldly, and he truly had no good feelings towards this family.

"Okay, I won't tell you anything else. Just pay attention to the house and help me keep an eye out for a few things!"

"Where can I find you in a few days? Or you can come and find me. I walk here every day after get off work. I really don't want to go to the courtyard!"

"Okay, I'll come to see you in two days, Saturday."

Liu Qingshan also had his own ideas. He asked Guangtian to look at a few more houses to see if there was one he liked! If there was a good one, maybe he would buy it. Who would complain about having too much of this stuff?

In the afternoon, Liu Qingshan stayed in the store all afternoon, but the staff looked at him with some restraint. Liu Qingshan waited for more customers and then went back. He just packed some dishes and went back to eat.

When we returned to the courtyard, it was very lively and many people were still chatting in the front yard.

"What are they talking about? Why is it so lively?" Liu Qingshan asked with a smile.

"Qingshan is back. Let me tell you, there is a matchmaker in the yard today. She came for your family! She wants to propose marriage to your family!" The third uncle joked with a wink.

"Nonsense, my children are still young..." Just when he said this, Liu Qingshan's heart skipped a beat. He suddenly remembered that Xixi was almost twenty years old, and girls got married early these days, so it was really possible.

"I'm just kidding! We're going to the Jia family. They're here to introduce a date to Xiaodang." The third uncle said with a smile.

Liu Qingshan's expression suddenly relaxed, and he thought to himself, "What kind of joke am I making with you? Is this something you can joke about? You are such a frivolous person!"

"I've seen Xiaodang. He's already old enough to get married. Where is his partner from? How is the relationship going?"

Liu Qingshan was also a little curious. In fact, Xiaodang was not very old, just in her early twenties. But at this age, girls should prepare to get married.

"He is a salesman in the supply and marketing cooperative, about the same age as Xiaodang. He is quite satisfied with Xiaodang, but I don't know if he is satisfied with the Jia family!"

In fact, Xiaodang is quite good-looking, but the Jia family's reputation is a little poor in the neighborhood. If it weren't for this reason, the girl would have been married off long ago.

"I really like Xiaodang. These are not big deals. After all, we live together as a couple, not with the mother-in-law. Don't you think so?" Liu Qingshan said with a smile.

"What Qingshan said makes sense. Besides, we don't know whether Xiaodang is satisfied or not. If Xiaodang doesn't like her, it will be useless for the man to choose." The third aunt followed.

"That's enough! You should stop talking. Xiaodang has a good appearance, but his family can't be ignored. The man's family will also visit relatives!"

"Let's talk less when we meet! Just say more nice things. The rest depends on fate."

Walking into the middle courtyard, there were still some people at Qin Huairu's house. A few middle-aged women were chatting loudly around Xiaodang.

Qin Huairu also had a smile on her face at this time. She was undoubtedly very satisfied with the man's conditions.
