Siheyuan: I can always stay out of it

Yi Zhonghai was a little confused, not because of the money, but because of the more than 40 folk prescriptions Xu Damao mentioned. He asked uncertainly.

"More than forty kinds of medicinal herbs?"

"No, there are more than 40 prescriptions, with hundreds of medicinal ingredients."

Xu Damao looked like he had eaten shit. Although he felt that these folk remedies had worked, he didn't know which one specifically.

Moreover, he didn't want to remember that tragic past at all. Many of the prescriptions did contain feces, or bat feces or something like that. Xu Damao now couldn't believe that he had the courage to try it.

Yi Zhonghai was silent for a moment.

"Did your father eat?"

Xu Damao looked confused.

"My father is not sick, why should he take medicine?"

Yi Zhonghai stared at Xu Damao for a long time and felt that this guy did not seem to be lying.

This made Yi Zhonghai even more sad. It turned out that Old Xu really gave birth to the child on his own, and it was not through any folk remedies as he thought. But why?

Although he was sad, he still had to buy the remedy. No matter what, Yi Zhonghai wanted to give it a try. After all, Xu Damao, a guy who was originally a family wreck, could recover now, so there was no reason why he, Yi Zhonghai, could not cure him.

The two reached a verbal agreement.

When Chen Xu returned to the factory for lunch at noon, Xu Damao said mysteriously.

"Brother, I might get rich again..."

Chen Xu looked puzzled. He couldn't have been kicked in the balls again, could he? He didn't look like that now. If he had been kicked, Xu Damao would probably be lying on the ground twitching. How could he look so happy?

"what's the situation?"

"Didn't you say last time that Yi Zhonghai was looking for me? Today he came to the steel mill to look for me."

After Xu Damao told Chen Xu the whole story, he finally understood why the old man Yi Zhonghai was looking for Xu Damao. It turned out that he saw Xu Damao recover and wanted to cure his own family extinction problem.

But Yi Zhonghai is indeed capable of doing this. For this old guy, he can do anything as long as he can have a child.

"Okay, your recipe won't kill anyone, right?"

But Chen Xu knew how strange the folk remedies Xu Damao took were. There was nothing that was not in the folk remedies, except what you couldn't think of.

Xu Damao was sent to the hospital because of one of the folk remedies. Now the legend of Xu Damao and the sow is still circulating in the city.

"It's not like anyone would die, but the remedy is a bit... ugh!"

Xu Damao turned to the side and began to retch, apparently recalling some unpleasant past events.

Chen Xu was speechless. You did this during dinner. The food in the cafeteria’s big pot didn’t taste very good to begin with, and now I have no appetite at all.

Only he himself knew that throwing Yi Zhonghai's money was no different from throwing it into the water, and it would also make the old guy sick. Seeing that Xu Damao wanted to vomit whenever he thought about it, it was estimated that there was nothing good in those folk remedies.

As long as it doesn't kill anyone, that's fine.

Chen Xu didn't intend to take care of this matter. Yi Zhonghai asked for it because he was cheated.

As for why Xu Damao was able to cure the disease but Yi Zhonghai couldn't, we won't elaborate on that. After all, the effects of folk remedies will definitely vary from person to person.

Besides, you are so old, how can you compare with young people like Xu Damao...

Chen Xu instantly thought of countless ways that Xu Damao could deal with Yi Zhonghai, and believed that Xu Damao himself also knew what to do.

What's more, this guy always thought that his own folk remedy cured him.

When I got home in the evening, I found Chang Wei beating Lai Fu... No, it was the second uncle who was beating his two younger sons. According to the audience nearby, Liu Guangfu felt that since his eldest brother was gone, his father should pamper him, the younger son.

After all, every family treats the youngest child as a treasure, but the Liu family is an exception.

Liu Guangfu is not young anymore. Born in 1945, he is sixteen years old this year. After graduation, he worked as a temporary worker with Liu Guangtian. He didn't make much money, but he had a lot of belts.

After all, it was still a famine period, and it was really not easy for a half-grown child like him to find something to do. In fact, based on the Liu family's original financial situation, it was not difficult to find a formal job for his son.

After all, Liu Haizhong is a seventh-level blacksmith no matter what, so it shouldn't be difficult to spend some money to get a job for his son. But because the two younger ones were not favored at the beginning, the second uncle naturally had no intention of spending money on them. It was good enough to ensure that he had food and clothing.

Not to mention now, the Liu family is penniless, and the boss has backstabbed them.

Not only did Liu Haizhong fail to reflect on himself, but he became even more harsh in his treatment of his two younger sons.

Chen Xu guessed that after Liu Guangqi left, the second uncle vented his anger at his eldest son on his two younger sons.

Looking at Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu jumping up and down in the yard, he had no intention of trying to persuade them.

Today’s cause will lead to tomorrow’s consequence. In the end, Liu Haizhong couldn’t keep any son. It was his own fault.

The Siheyuan is actually very strange. No matter whether you have a son or not, your family will eventually be wiped out.

Is it because the feng shui here is bad?

Chen Xu looked around in confusion, but didn't find anything unusual.

He didn't understand Feng Shui, but he still remembered that it was said that if the Feng Shui of some places was bad, people would feel uncomfortable if they stayed there for a long time.

Chen Xu felt for a long time but didn't find any discomfort. Instead, he felt that his body was full of strength and his spirit was terrifyingly strong.

This feeling was something he had never experienced in his previous life.

As the saying goes, practice makes perfect. Ever since Chen Xu got used to practicing martial arts and exercising, he has clearly felt that his body is gradually getting stronger, and the speed of growth is almost visible to the naked eye.

Sha Zhu once again floated past him like a sleepwalker, with no intention of paying any attention to anyone.

Chen Xu remembered that this guy used to like to join in the fun, but now...

The walking dead is probably the best way to describe this person.

Xu Damao came back with him, but was pulled away by Yi Zhonghai as soon as he entered the courtyard.

Chen Xu, who knew what was going on, had no intention of following them. It was certain that Yi Zhonghai would be tricked anyway.

Before the fight here was over, Xu Damao had already rushed over.

This guy is in high spirits now, and it is obvious that he is feeling proud now that he has money in his pocket.

"Come on, there's nothing to see. I'll treat you to a meal."

Chen Xu nodded. It was indeed nothing to see. After all, Liu Haizhong beating children happened from time to time and Chen Xu was used to it.

Still eating roast duck.

Chen Xu looked at Lou Xiao'e who had been waiting there for a long time with a dark face.

"Don't call me if you two are here. Isn't it good to just be alone with yourselves?"

Chen Xu was obviously not interested in being a light bulb. Although it was nice to be treated to a meal, it was better not to mention the feeling of being fed dog food while eating.

Lou Xiao'e obviously didn't take Chen Xu's words seriously. Moreover, if it was just her and Xu Damao, she would have to think about it.

After all, Xu Damao's grandson always wanted her to have a peaceful life for ten months, and Lou Xiao'e knew it very well.

"Have you ever thought of bringing Lin Chan to Sijiu City in advance?"

"It's inconvenient not to be married. It's easy to be reported."

Chen Xu clinked glasses with Xu Damao without changing his expression, drank the wine in the glass, and answered Lou Xiaoe's questions casually.

"So, what Xu Damao told me is true that there are almost no good people in your courtyard?"

Lou Xiao'e is obviously still somewhat interested in the courtyard house. If nothing unexpected happens, she will have to live there for the rest of her life.

Xu Damao was speechless. He didn't know why, but he always felt that his wife obviously trusted Chen Xu more.

"That's about right. The so-called good guys and bad guys only depend on who you are talking to."

"And what about you?"

“Those who are kind to me are kind, and those who are evil to me are evil.”

Lou Xiao'e found it more interesting to talk to Chen Xu.

This guy's thoughts and behaviors have always been rather unconventional, and Lou Xiao'e had witnessed this during the first few times they met.
