Siheyuan: I can always stay out of it

Another person who was equally lonely was Xu Damao. He was only two years younger than Sha Zhu and was already 24 years old this year, which was considered an older young man at this age. If the previous incident had not happened, he would probably have been married this year.

Although it was normal for Liu Guangqi to bring his wife back, it was a shock to many people in the courtyard. Of course, Chen Xu was not among them, because he had already been taken.

But soon, within a few days, Xu Damao came to Chen Xu with a bright face.

"Dude, I sent it..."

Chen Xu looked confused.

"Did you find the money?"

"No, picking up money is nothing. My life is secure. I tell you, I will be able to marry a gold ingot soon. Lou Bancheng, do you know..."

Chen Xu understood. It seemed that this guy's father came to the Lou family again to make connections. But it was also normal. Xu Damao, who was not in trouble, was indeed a good choice for the Lou family.

"Have you set a time?"

"No, my father just said that Lou Bancheng agreed, and we can talk about other things after I meet the daughter of the Lou family."

Chen Xu had nothing to be jealous of. Marrying the daughter of the Lou family was not necessarily a good thing, but he did not say anything. It would be inappropriate to say anything at this moment.

Although he and Xu Damao have a good relationship, and logically he shouldn't watch Xu Damao jump into the fire pit, but he still knows Xu Damao. If he says now that he is not suitable, maybe their relationship will end here.

Chen Xu said in his heart, I will close my eyes, Brother Xu, you just wish you good luck.

If Lou Xiao'e really gave birth to a child for Xu Damao, based on his understanding of Xu Damao, he would most likely not choose to report the Lou family, but if he did so, he might be implicated.

Xu Damao is actually not a bad person. Apart from the fact that he likes to target Sha Zhu, he is very generous to his own people. He is much better than those guys who like to bully others at home.

Chen Xu had been in Siheyuan for quite some time, and he had gradually come to understand many things better. He had also become accustomed to the gaps between these people and his memory.

"Congratulations then."

"Hey, let's go. I'm happy today. I'll take you to a restaurant..."

Xu Damao was obviously getting carried away. Even though he was extremely poor now, he still insisted on paying the bill himself.

Chen Xu, who wanted to treat Xu Damao to a meal, didn't say anything more. If he cured Xu Damao's infertility, he should treat him a few more meals.

What's more, if he really married Lou Xiao'e, Xu Damao would at least not be short of money.

the other side.

The deaf old lady is also taking action, and her purpose is naturally to find a wife for Sha Zhu.

However, the process was not smooth. Although the matchmakers greeted them with smiles, they shook their heads like rattles when they heard He Yuzhu's name.

Explaining a wife to a prisoner? Come on, there's no way a matchmaker would agree to this.

However, because of the old deaf lady's age, a familiar matchmaker gave her some advice.

"Old lady, I'm not trying to shirk my responsibility. I just have no other choice. You know your grandson's situation well, and I can't ruin my own job. But I still want to give you an idea. If you think it's feasible, try it."

What the matchmaker meant was that there were actually quite a few women who had fled here, and since they had come to this point, they probably wouldn't have any objection to Sha Zhu's identity. As long as they had enough food to eat, there was actually not much difference between marrying him and marrying a country girl.

The deaf old lady silently took note of this incident and thought about its possibility.

To be honest, she was not very willing to do so. After all, it was hard to tell what kind of character those outsiders had. If she married someone with ulterior motives, not only would she not have great-grandchildren, but he might even dislike her as an old woman.

But what the matchmaker said made sense. Given Shazhu's current situation, this was really the only way out.

Lou family.

Does Lou Bancheng have the mood to persuade his silly daughter? After all, it would not look good if things became too awkward, and he, Lou Bancheng, also has to save his face.

"Ezi, I know Xu Damao might not be that good, but our Lou family is not in a good situation right now. If you marry him, at least you can protect yourself. It's a helpless move."

Lou Xiao'e was a little confused, but she could barely listen to what Lou Bancheng said. After all, her father always kept his word and would never talk nonsense with her. She had no choice but to obey whatever decision he made.

This time, her father was willing to explain the reason to her, which was unusual for him. Lou Xiao'e listened carefully, wanting to know why her father wanted to marry her to a scumbag.

"You also know the background of our family. Now is a time of trouble. Our Lou family can only keep a low profile. If someone really uses this to make trouble in the future, I'm afraid the consequences will be unpredictable."

Lou Bancheng felt a little emotional. He said this to Lou Xiaoe, and he was also lamenting the fickleness of fate. Who would have thought that Lou Bancheng, who was also very famous in the old city, had reached the point where he had to be so cautious.

"Dad, our family has donated so many things, isn't this enough?"

Lou Xiao'e was obviously very surprised. She was not very smart to begin with, and she had been too well protected since she was a child, so she could not understand many things.

Looking at his naive daughter, Lou Bancheng was speechless. How could he have such a silly daughter? The Lou family's money was such a big piece of cake, who wouldn't be jealous.

If the situation changes, everyone will come up and take a bite when they see an opportunity.

He was just making a mistake before it happened.

It's normal for someone like Lou Bancheng to have a sense of urgency. After all, he was born in that era and could see some things to some extent. However, he probably didn't expect the situation to be so bad later, causing some of his previous actions to be in vain.

"If it was enough, I wouldn't have to marry you off. My daughter Lou Bancheng can find any man."

Lou Xiao'e now more or less understood what her father meant. Her father had never told her these things before, but today's unusual explanation made her understand a little about the current situation of the Lou family.

She didn't think her father would harm her. After all, they had been together for so many years, and although her father was always serious, he was indeed good to her.

Just like this time, if Lou Bancheng was determined to marry her off, she would have no choice but to obey, and it would be a great honor if he could explain the reason to her.

"I see..."

Lou Xiao'e forced a smile, held back her tears, and stood up and went back upstairs.

All little girls have the dream of meeting their prince charming, and Lou Xiao'e is no exception. If possible, she would naturally want to find a man she likes, but it is obvious that this is just a dream to her.

As the daughter of Lou Bancheng, I have no control over many things.

Lou's mother, who had been silent the whole time, felt sorry for her daughter. She said hello to Lou Bancheng and went upstairs to comfort her daughter.

Lou Bancheng sat in the living room for a long time without moving.

In fact, he also looked down on Xu Damao, but he had no choice. Xu Damao was already the best candidate after careful consideration. He was very suitable both in terms of background and the relationship between the two families.

As for other things, he couldn't take care of them now. What he needed to consider now was to protect the Lou family, and he could give up everything else.
