Comfortable life in Siheyuan

After Xu Damao and the others left, Yan Jiecheng hurriedly walked up to Yu Li and just stared at her without saying a word.

"What's wrong? Are you hysterical?" Yu Li raised her head and glanced, then asked.

"Xu Damao has made money!" After Yan Jiecheng said this, he stopped talking.

"Just make money! He has his own business, how can you stop him from making money?" Yu Li said indifferently.

"It's not the money earned from the business. Xu Damao and the others followed Li Huaide in doing business and made money this month. I just heard from them that the most they made was nearly 20,000!"

Yan Jiecheng was very envious and looked eager to try.

Yu Li stopped what she was doing and stared at Yan Jiecheng with burning eyes.

"How much money did they invest?" Yu Li was obviously interested at this time.

"The total investment was less than 100,000. The few people together earned more than 30,000." Yan Jiecheng said dimly.

"So much return in just one month? Is it true?" Yu Li was a little shocked. The speed of making money was too fast.

"I plan to invest some money next time." Yan Jiecheng said in a sonorous and powerful voice as if he had made up his mind.

"How much do you want to invest?" Yu Li looked over and asked seriously.

"Let's invest 10,000 yuan first!" Yan Jiecheng didn't dare to invest too much for fear of losing money.

"You are a timid person. You haven't paid back the 30,000 yuan you borrowed from your father yet. Just invest that money!" Yu Li was bold and prepared to place a heavy bet right away.

A few days later, Yu Li and Yan Jiecheng found Xu Damao, and after the introduction, they finally succeeded in buying shares.

Xu Damao saw that the other people invested more and earned more. This time, he was even more stimulated by the big investment of Yu Li and Yan Jiecheng.

I went back and tried to persuade Sun Xiaoyan several times, but I couldn't get a penny out of her.

After much thought, he finally thought of Xu Fugui.

Xu Damao went back to his parents' home with gifts that day.

Xu Fugui and the other two were still a little uncomfortable seeing him like this.

"Da Mao, what trouble have you gotten yourself into again? My parents are old and can't stand your torture!" Xu Fugui looked at Xu Damao with suspicion, trying to find some clues from his face.

"Dad, please don't curse me. I'm doing fine now. The building materials company is thriving, and I've also started some other small businesses recently, but I've made less than 10,000 yuan!"

Xu Damao didn't invest much both times, and he earned less than 8,000 yuan in total.

Xu Fugui ignored his small business and asked about Xu Damao's family situation: "You haven't had any conflicts with Yan'er recently, have you? Is there any progress in Erhu's marriage?"

"There's nothing wrong with it. It's just that Erhu is a stubborn kid. I introduced a few people to him, but none of them worked out. Yan'er is so worried."

Speaking of Xu Erhu's marriage, Xu Damao couldn't help feeling helpless.

"Why didn't you teach your son how to seduce women? Even though Erhu is not your biological son, he still has the surname Xu after all!" Xu Fugui sighed softly.

"It's definitely not my child. He doesn't look like me in any way. He can't even handle a woman. It's really fucking weird."

Xu Damao chatted with his parents about family matters for a while, and only got down to business when it was time to eat.

"Dad, are you well off now? I'm still short of some capital for this business. Sun Xiaoyan has a tight grip on the family's money, and I have no way to get it out!"

"No, not a penny. Your mother and I are struggling to support ourselves now, and we have no money at all."

Xu Damao, this son, has no integrity at all with his father.

"Dad, why don't you believe me? I really haven't done anything wrong during this period of time." Xu Damao was also anxious. He didn't expect that his parents were even more difficult to talk to than Sun Xiaoyan.

"Haha, don't try to fool your father here. Whether you want to make money or not, just cook as much as you have rice. Don't think about anything else." Xu Fugui was also a smart man, and he couldn't be persuaded by Xu Damao with just a few words.

"Dad, this time it's real. This time I'm doing business in partnership with Li Huaide, the former deputy director of the steel rolling mill. I invested a little in the first two times and have already made money. It took only two or three months in total, and I made nearly ten thousand yuan." Xu Damao began to talk about the business situation.

"Who? Li Huaide? Is he the deputy factory director who was transferred away due to an accident?" Xu Fugui remembered some rumors.

"It's him. He's doing quite a big business now." Xu Damao said enviously.

"This person has a bad character, so don't cooperate with him." Xu Fugui said quietly.

"What do you know? These days, making a lot of money is enough. Why do you care about his character?" Xu Damao retorted quickly.

"Haha, I don't know what kind of business you are doing. But some principles have been the same since ancient times. The most important thing in a business partnership is the character of the partners. I, your father, have seen too much when I followed Lou Bancheng."

When Xu Fugui saw Xu Damao's expression, he knew that he would not listen.

That’s right, this son himself is not a very good person, alas!

Xu Fugui refused to pay, even when Xu Damao wanted to write him an IOU.

Xu Damao had no choice but to find a solution on his own.

Before leaving, Xu Damao, full of resentment, took back the gifts he had brought. The two elders of the Xu family shook their heads.

"Old man, do you think you should go and warn Xiaoyan in the next two days? Tell her not to be fooled by Xu Damao?"

"I'm going to go there tomorrow and have a good talk with Xiaoyan. This silly son won't listen to anything we say now. I'm afraid he's going to suffer a great loss." Father Xu shook his head, looking helpless.

After leaving his parents' house, Xu Damao went to the courtyard again. He lingered at the door for a long time before going in.

"Hey! Why is Damao back? And he brought a gift with him. Aren't you here to see Uncle Sanda?"

Yan Bugui was guarding the door and saw the gift in Xu Damao's hand at a glance.

"You wish!" Xu Damao rolled his eyes and said disdainfully.

"Just kidding, what are you buying? Who are you looking for?" The third uncle knew that he was overthinking, but his eyes were still fixed on the things in Xu Damao's hand.

"Are you in charge?"

Xu Damao didn't continue teasing him and walked straight towards the backyard.

Along the way, the neighbors in the yard looked at him with curiosity.

When he arrived at Liu's house, Xu Damao immediately put on a smiling face.

"Qingshan is at home!"

"Brother Damao, why are you here? Is there something wrong?" Liu Qingshan was helping his daughter with homework and saw him when he looked up.

"Qingshan, I want to discuss something with you. Is it convenient for you?" Xu Damao put down what he was holding and said with a smile.

"Just tell me right here! Let me hear what's going on."

Xu Damao told him what had happened during this period and also told him that he wanted to borrow money.

Liu Qingshan was secretly shocked after hearing this. Li Huaide had a big appetite and he was unable to satisfy his appetite both times.

"I can't lend you this money. If you trust me, don't invest in this anymore. I think there's something fishy going on here."
