Siheyuan: After traveling through time, who can still be an honest person?

Xu Damao lit the stove, then took out two steamed buns, stuck them with chopsticks, and put them on the fire to roast.

After a while, the steamed buns were almost baked. He found a bottle of white wine, put the cut pork head and cooked peanuts on the broken table, and started drinking.

Sha Zhu smelled the aroma of meat. He hadn't eaten meat for a long time, so he picked up a large piece of pork head with chopsticks and stuffed it into his mouth like a starving ghost.

"Slow down, no one is competing with you!" Xu Damao said disdainfully.

Sha Zhu didn't care and ate five or six pieces of pork head and half of the steamed bun.

While eating, he suddenly started crying and began to vomit and throw up everything he had eaten.

Xu Damao was extremely distressed when he saw this.

I wish I could eat back what Shazhu vomited out.

"Silly Zhu, silly Zhu, I really owe you this life. It's been a while since I've eaten pig's head, and you ruined half of it for nothing. It's really a sin!"

After Sha Zhu finished vomiting, he wiped his tears, poured himself a glass of wine, drank it in one gulp, took a deep breath, and his mood slowly improved.

"Da Mao, how did you end up like this?" Sha Zhu sighed.

Xu Damao picked up the wine glass and took a sip of wine, then picked up a piece of pork head to suppress the alcohol, and then slowly said:

"Back then, I opened a hot pot restaurant with you guys and saved up some money. Later, I became more ambitious and wanted to try my luck in the south."

"Originally everything was going smoothly. With my skills, I slowly accumulated tens of millions of dollars."

"Later, I planned to return home with my fortune. I planned to return to Beijing after disposing of my assets. After all, this is where I grew up. When people get older, they all want to return to their roots."

"I didn't expect that I would meet my destiny's calamity again, that bastard Li Huaide!"

When Xu Damao said this, deep hatred appeared in his eyes.

"Li Huaide? Wasn't he imprisoned in a kiln for smuggling? I heard that he was sentenced to a heavy punishment back then." Sha Zhu asked puzzledly.

"That old guy got out a long time ago. It's also my fault for not learning from my mistakes. I keep falling into the same trap again and again."

Xu Damao regretted it deeply: "Actually, it's not my fault. You know my problem. I can't walk when I see a beautiful woman."

"It just so happened that the North was undergoing a dramatic change, and those who were brave enough were all becoming traders. I had this idea a long time ago, but I just had no way to do it."

"It just so happens that Li Huaide said he has connections and can work with me."

"I was wary of him at first, but he later found me two foreign beauties, saying that I would have to deal with foreigners in the future, so he could ask them to teach me foreign languages."

"You don't know, I studied for two whole days. I wasn't that enthusiastic when I was in school."

"You can guess what happened next. That bastard Li Huaide tricked me again!"

“It costs me too much to learn a foreign language!”

"Actually, apart from the money that Li Huaide cheated me of, I still had one or two million left. What's hateful is that my lover took advantage of my misfortune and saw that I was in a desperate situation, so he ran away with his lover with the money."

"What's even worse is that he borrowed a large sum of money in my name before he left. It was like a house that leaked and it rained all night. He almost died in the south and barely escaped death."

After Xu Damao finished telling his story, he took a big sip of wine.

"Hi~"

Sha Zhu sighed and said, "You are at least better than me. I treated Bang Geng and Xiao Dang with all my heart, but now they have kicked me out of the house. I am living worse than a stray dog!"

Xu Damao sneered, "Shazhu, don't blame me for mocking you. You deserve it. I expected this day to come."

"Although I'm down and out now, I've enjoyed everything and never treated myself badly in my life."

"What about you?"

"You spent your whole life guarding this woman called Widow Qin, who has done countless tricks, and now you're kicked out of the house. What on earth do you want in this life?"

"Don't say bad things about Huairu!"

Sha Zhu was furious: "Ever since Bang Geng came back, she has been deaf and in poor health, otherwise she would never let Xiao Dang and Bang Geng treat me like this!"

"Haha!" Xu Damao sneered twice and gave Sha Zhu a look that showed he had experienced the meaning.

Sha Zhu lowered his head and murmured, "Sister Qin would never treat me like this..."

Xu Damao sneered, "Silly Zhu, silly Zhu, you have ended up like this, and you are still stubborn!"

"Let me ask you, haven't you saved some money for retirement over the years to secretly leave yourself a way out?"

Sha Zhu raised his head, his cloudy old eyes showing endless confusion:

"Sister Qin said that men become bad when they have money. In order to give her a sense of security, I never carry money with me, let alone hide it secretly."

"Where are the houses and shops you bought over the years? I heard that you made a lot of money." Xu Damao sneered.

"Why would I keep it? I gave it all to Xiaodang and Banggeng."

"Don't you have a house left for yourself to live in when you retire?" Xu Damao was full of admiration for Sha Zhu's sincerity.

"I have a courtyard house and a building. Last month, Bang Geng said our house was going to be demolished. He asked me to fake a divorce with her mother and then divide the accounts into two. Then the compensation will be doubled."

"I listened to Bang Geng's words and chose to leave the house with nothing. But right after I signed the contract, he teamed up with Xiao Dang to throw me into the bridge tunnel outside."

As Sha Zhu spoke, he shed sad tears.

Xu Damao said disdainfully: "I don't even know what to say to you!"

"You haven't remembered the lessons of Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui at all."

"Even their own children are unreliable, not to mention that you have no blood relationship with Banggeng and Xiaodang at all. How can they really treat you well?"

"Besides, Qin Huairu is here!"

"In my opinion, it must be Qin Huairu who came up with the plan to kick you out!"

"From what I understand, Bang Geng and Xiao Dang don't have the brains for that!"

"She must be pretending to be deaf. That woman is very cunning!"

"No...Impossible!" Sha Zhu shook his head frantically, as if he couldn't believe it, and wasn't willing to believe it.

"Here, have another drink!"

Xu Damao filled Sha Zhu's glass with wine and the two clinked their glasses.

"Silly Zhu, to tell you the truth, when I returned to Sijiu City, I was planning to seek refuge with you, but Qin Huairu hired someone to beat me up, and I never dared to appear in front of you again."

Xu Damao said resentfully: "Qin Huairu is such a beast! She doesn't care about our friendship at all. She is such a jerk!"

"Forget it, let's not talk about the past. What are your plans for the future, Shazhu?"

"Plans?" Sha Zhu smiled bitterly: "What else do I have to strive for now? I can live one day at a time."

"But I am unwilling to accept this. I must ask Huairu to see if she is faking illness. This should be my only wish to stay alive."

At this time, Xu Damao stared at Sha Zhu and suddenly asked, "Sha Zhu, have you ever thought about asking your two nephews to seek justice for you?"

As soon as these words came out.

Silly Zhu was silent.

Xu Damao became more energetic, ran to the corner, and pulled out an old newspaper. Then he came back and sat down, pointing at the newspaper and said with a fiery look in his eyes:

"Look at this report. It reveals the map of Cao Yue's global business empire. It says that if invisible assets are taken into account, Cao Yue has defeated many wealthy people in the United States and become the new richest man in the world."

"There are also some gossips about him. This Sophie and this soccer girl are both having affairs with him. These two are much prettier than the woman with whom I'm learning foreign languages!"

"Also here, your niece Feifei has officially taken over Cao Yue's hotel business in the mainland."

“Do you know how many five-star hotels that is!”

Sha Zhu whispered, "I have no contact with them for a long time, and they don't care whether I live or die."

"Silly Zhu, are you really stupid? You are in such a state, why do you still care about your cheap self-esteem!"

Xu Damao said angrily: "They won't recognize you, but for the sake of the impact, they will definitely not let you beg for food again."

"If the world knew that the brother-in-law of the world's richest man was a beggar, how would they view Cao Yue? And how would they view your sister and her two children?"

"They are rich people who care most about their appearance!"

"Besides, don't you want revenge?"

"As long as you expose the bad things that Banggeng and Xiaodang have done, someone will take care of them."

At this point, Xu Damao suddenly said with a smug look: "Brother Zhu, when the time comes, don't forget that I have been with you through thick and thin. I don't ask for anything else, I just want to have a happy old age and that will be enough."

Only then did Sha Zhu react.

No wonder Xu Damao was so attentive and treated him with wine and meat. It turned out he was waiting for him here!

However, Sha Zhu shook his head and refused.

Xu Damao was anxious: "Master Zhu, face is not important now..."

Sha Zhu interrupted, "I'm not doing this for the sake of face. Huairu may not know about this. She is innocent. I can't hurt her."

"You still treat her as a relative?!" Xu Damao was completely speechless. "You feel sorry for her, but who feels sorry for you?"

Sha Zhu gritted his teeth and said, "I must have her tell me the truth in person."

"Okay, after dinner, I will personally accompany you to find her and see how I expose her true face." Xu Damao said fiercely.
