Siheyuan: How the Little People Live

“Wenwu, your brother Damao has nothing to say. Just wait and see how I, Xu Damao, perform in the future.”

Xu Damao patted his chest and said in a decisive tone.

Then he started asking Ye Wenwu about what had happened in the past few days, and Xu Damao's words of flattery made Ye Wenwu and his cousin Zhang Xingbang laugh out loud.

Especially when his cousin talked about the incident where Ye Wenwu beat Sha Zhu for the third time and pinned Sha Zhu to the ground, Xu Damao listened so seriously that his eyes sparkled and he wished he was the one beating Sha Zhu at that time.

Seeing that it was getting dark, Ye Wenwu also felt a little sleepy. Xu Damao also noticed it and tactfully said goodbye directly.

However, when he left, he left behind something that even Ye Wenwu felt was problematic.

Sha Zhu went to tell Xu Damao that he would also go to the party tomorrow night to have dinner, which was also organized by the Third Uncle.

But I didn't hear anyone coming to invite me.

Moreover, there is a first uncle, a second uncle, a third uncle, as well as the Jia family, the Sha Zhu family, and the Xu Damao family. More than half of them probably don’t want to see me.

Ye Wenwu guessed that they might have some new little ideas, so he put the matter out of his mind. After all, it would be better to act accordingly when the time comes.

Xu Damao returned to his house with a smile on his face.

Lou Xiao'e was still a little worried. Although Ye Wenwu had done a lot of things recently, he also offended everyone in the entire compound. She wondered if her husband Xu Damao would also be offended by the same thing since he had such contact with Ye Wenwu.

"Da Mao, Ye Wenwu has offended our entire compound. You are obviously trying to get closer to him, isn't that a bit too much?"

"What do you know as a woman? You are really short-sighted."

Xu Damao didn't indulge Lou Xiao'e, and he would scold her first, no matter whether she said something good or bad.

"Ye Wenwu is a very difficult person. If he hadn't confused our Red Star Courtyard with this matter, he, Ye Wenwu, would have become a fool and obeyed the master."

"Although Ye Wenwu has offended our entire hospital, do you think his family has suffered any losses? Every time he does something, it only makes the uncles angry and they are unable to target Ye Wenwu at all."

Xu Damao was also afraid that Lou Xiao'e would ruin his plans, so he quickly improved Ye Wenwu's image.

When Lou Xiao'e heard this, it seemed so. Although Ye Wenwu had been making quite a fuss recently, Da Yiman really had no way to deal with him. They could only isolate everyone in the hospital to deal with Ye Wenwu. Unfortunately, Ye Wenwu didn't care.

"Da Mao, you are still smart."

"I was just kidding. You think I worked for nothing last night and just drank with them for fun? Let me tell you, I was drinking with Director Yang and Deputy Director Li of the Red Star Steel Plant last night. I spent a lot of money to smooth over this relationship. And it was Ye Wenwu who taught me how to invite the two directors to dinner."

"How about I give them some gifts and local specialties tonight, and they will immediately repay me by promising me a position as a section chief."

Xu Damao immediately started to boast to his wife about his conversation with Ye Wenwu tonight.

Lou Xiao'e frowned. She was quite clear about her husband's abilities. And he still remembered that I was just a propaganda officer in the factory. How could I be qualified to order others to become section chief?

She felt that her husband Xu Damao seemed to have been deceived by Ye Wenwu, and asked weakly:

"Da Mao, I remember that Ye Wenwu seemed to be just a propaganda officer."

Although the rest of the words were not said, Xu Damao was such a smart man, how could he not know what he wanted to say?

"You don't understand. Ye Wenwu is very shrewd. He quietly set up a department in our factory. If his department is established, he will become the director of a department in a month, second only to the deputy director."

"Since Ye Wenwu dares to say it, he is not afraid of investigation."

Seeing that her husband Xu Damao had thought it through, Lou Xiao'e was too lazy to worry about it and didn't say much.

Xu family,

As soon as Xu Ying returned home, she covered her grandfather's eyes with her hands and asked happily:

"Grandpa, look what I brought today? Guess what I brought. If you guess it, I'll give you something good. If you don't guess it, you have to give me something good."

"Hahaha, my dear granddaughter is so smart. I, as a grandfather, can't guess it. Tell me, what do you want?"

Old Xu was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling. Every time his granddaughter looked like this, it meant that she wanted something.

Hearing that her grandfather agreed to her request so readily, Xu Ying almost jumped for joy.

"Grandpa, you are so nice. Look what I brought you."

After saying that, Xu Ying took out Ye Wenwu's plan from her bag and handed it over.

Old Xu took the plan in surprise, looked at it in front of him, and asked in disbelief:

"It's only been a few days? And you've already finished writing it. Are you kidding me by saying the following?"

Xu Ying held her mouth tightly and said aggrievedly:

"Grandpa, your granddaughter is a graduate of a prestigious university, okay? Is she so stupid? I'll show you the second half of the sentence that I used to fool you. I've read the rest of it, and it's not written randomly. There's real data at the end."

Xu Ying turned to the back of the plan where there were numerical calculations and showed them to her grandfather.

Only then did Mr. Xu confirm that this plan was not just a lie and he quickly started to read it.

Xu Ying was also not idle, and ran to the kitchen to ask her mother for help.

"Don't help me, kid. The more you help me, the more trouble I'm causing. Why don't you get out of here quickly?"

Less than two minutes after entering the kitchen, Xu Ying was driven out by her mother. However, when Xu Ying came out, she was mumbling something.

"Mom, the food you cooked is so delicious that I can't help it. Besides, it's all for people to eat, so it doesn't matter if we eat it early or late, and Grandpa doesn't care."

Hearing her daughter's mumbling, Xu's mother came out and slapped her on the head.

"You are a little girl, how can you behave like this? Don't you know how to behave? Your husband's family still spoils you. With your personality, I am a little worried."

Xu Ying felt a pain on her head, then her neck shrank. She glared at her mother fiercely and started complaining immediately.

"I just want to stay at home. I don't want to get married, is that okay? You insisted on introducing that blind date to me. You annoy me every day, and I don't like him."
