The life of a villain in a courtyard

"Why are you back so late?"

"I met a jeep on the road and helped him fix it, which delayed me for a while."

"Can you repair jeeps?"

"Of course! I know a lot of things, and you will learn more about them in the future."

The two of them returned to the house while talking. Chen Li had already prepared the meal.

On the table was a plate of cabbage, a plate of braised pork ribs and a dish of spicy and sour shredded potatoes.

“You made braised spareribs!”

Su Yun loved eating spare ribs the most, so he reached out and grabbed a piece.

"Is it dirty? Go wash your hands first."

"okay."

After washing their hands, they sat at the dining table and ate and chatted.

Su Yun wanted Chen Li to quit her job at the tavern.

Her family originally lived near Zhengyangmen, and it didn't take long to go back and forth. But now the distance to Nanluoguxiang is much farther, and she gets off work late, so Su Yun is a little worried.

"It's so hard to find a job nowadays. What do you want me to do first after I quit my job at the tavern?"

This is quite a problem.

"Well, since you don't want to quit, let's continue. At worst, I can still pick you up every day like before."

"That's pretty much it."

At this moment there was a knock on the door.

I pushed the door open and saw Xu Damao standing at the door. I wondered why he came to my house so late at night?

"My sister-in-law is here too."

Xu Damao looked at Chen Li with an obscene expression, making her feel very uncomfortable.

She had met Xu Damao several times in the hospital and always felt that he was not a good person.

"You two can chat first. I'll go get some food for the loach."

After saying that, he stood up and went into the inner room.

"Brother Damao, what can I do for you?"

Xu Damao looked into the house and felt that this was not a place to talk, so he took Su Yun to his home, where no one was.

"Just tell me what you want to say. Why be so secretive? There's no one else in my house."

Xu Damao sat opposite Su Yun with tea in his hand and asked seriously, "What do you think of my house?"

"nice."

"I'll sell it to you, do you want it?"

"puff!"

He was drinking water from the teacup, and was irritated by this question, so he spat out a mouthful of tea.

"What did you say! House? What do you mean?"

"Keep your voice down, don't let anyone outside hear you!"

"Did I hear you right? You want to sell the house? Will your parents agree?"

"I just don't have enough money. I've borrowed everything I could, and I've sold everything I could, but it's still not enough. After thinking about it, only this house is worth some money. Do you want it? If not, I'll find someone else."

"What's the matter? Why are you willing to sell your house? Tell me and I'll give you some advice."

"Don't worry about anything else. I just want to ask you one question: do you want this house?"

Su Yun looked at Xu Damao carefully, and seeing the serious expression on his face, he knew that he was not joking, but what had happened to him that required so much money? It might be because of this when he met him selling things in the black market some time ago.

"Yes, I didn't say no. Who doesn't want a house? But how much do you plan to sell it for?"

"Six hundred dollars, how about that?"

The last time he was hospitalized, Wang Jianjun found Xu Damao and introduced his tape business to him. Xu Damao was very interested.

So he wanted to get rich with Wang Jianjun, but if he wanted to cooperate with him, he had to have a certain amount of financial resources.

Wang Jianjun set a threshold of two thousand yuan, and Xu Damao had to raise the amount within three months, otherwise he would have to find someone else to cooperate with.

How could Xu Damao miss this good opportunity to make a fortune? When Wang Jianguo left, he was so poor that he could hardly afford to eat, but when he came back, he had transformed himself. If he missed this opportunity, he would regret it for the rest of his life!

So he took out his savings, sold everything he could at home, and borrowed everything he could, and only managed to get together fifteen hundred yuan in total.

After much thought, I realized that the only things I have left that are worth five hundred dollars are my job and my house.

Of course, he couldn't sell his job, as without it he would have no way out. But he could sell his house, as it was his family's ancestral property. Unlike the other people in the courtyard who were just tenants, he found the person who was most likely to buy his house and wanted to sell it to him.

"Six hundred dollars? That's a bit expensive."

"Not expensive. I have this furniture in my room. This table, this wardrobe, and this bed. I'll sell it to you as a package for 600 yuan. What do you think?"

If that's the case, six hundred yuan doesn't seem to be a bad price.

But then he thought about it and saw that in the TV series Xu Damao sold his house later because of business failure. After Xu Fugui found out, he brought his wife to the courtyard and made a big fuss. They were just like two old scoundrels. He didn't want to get involved with these two old scoundrels.

"Do your parents know about this?"

When he mentioned Xu Fugui and his wife, his face turned pale instantly. If they were willing to lend him money, how could he have fallen to the point of selling his house? He was their biological son, and the only child of the Xu family!

"Why mention them? They don't need to know about this."

"No, that won't work. What if I sell the house and your parents come looking for me? What should I do then?"

"Do you still want my house? If not, I'll find someone else."

Xu Damao was a little anxious. He knew that his parents would never let him sell the house, but if he didn't sell it, the opportunity in front of him would be gone.

"Yes, I didn't say no."

"Then what do you mean?"

"What I mean is that you write me an IOU, saying that you borrowed 600 yuan from me and use your house to pay off the debt. If your parents come to my place to make trouble, I can at least take the IOU and ask them to return the money, so that I won't lose both my money and my life."

Xu Damao thought about it and realized that this was indeed the case. If his parents knew that he had sold the house, they would definitely come here to make a fuss. Besides, buying and selling houses is illegal now. Doing this can allow him to take advantage of loopholes and avoid investigation. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

"Okay, go back and get the money, I'll write the IOU."
