Siheyuan: Struggle Begins in the 1950s

"Yes, Lou Jie also told me about the situation in Hong Kong when he came back last time. I have also considered going there, but our roots are here. If I go to Hong Kong, I am afraid I will never be able to come back in this lifetime."

After hearing this, Tan Yali couldn't help but hold his hand, her face looking a little sad.

Together they were almost a hundred years old.

Unless they have no other choice, who would be willing to leave a place they are familiar with?

The next day, the Xu family received a notice from Lou Bancheng rejecting the marriage proposal.

Upon hearing the news, Xu Fugui and his mother were dumbfounded.

Xu Fugui had tested Lou Bancheng's attitude before.

Based on his understanding of Lou Bancheng, this marriage is likely to be successful.

Just when things were going in the right direction, the Lou family suddenly rejected it.

The reason given was that Lou Xiao'e simply disagreed.

Xu Fugui reluctantly asked his mother to go to the Lou family again, but the Lou family refused to let her in, saying that they were out for something.

"what is happening!"

Xu Fugui couldn't sit still anymore.

After planning for so many years to seize the Lou family's property, in the end, it was all in vain.

There must be something going on that he doesn't know about.

Xu Fugui, who was confused, decided to wait until his son came back in the evening to ask him.

As a result, when Xu Damao came back in the evening, his whole face was bruised and swollen.

"Da Mao! What's wrong with you?"

Seeing her son injured, Xu's mother didn't care about anything else and hurried forward to check.

"Hiss~ Mom! It hurts! It hurts, it hurts!!!"

"Da Mao! Who hurt you?!"

Xu Fugui's face turned pale, wondering if someone was targeting the Xu family recently.

"Dad, I went to dinner with my boss tonight, and when I came back, someone put a sack in my hand. This injury was caused by him.

I tell you, this was most likely done by Sha Zhu! That grandson's movements were exactly the same as Sha Zhu's!"

Xu Damao has been beaten by Sha Zhu so many times that he has become familiar with it.

When Xu Fugui heard this, his face immediately turned gloomy.

He looked at his son and lowered his voice:

"Da Mao, there was news from the Lou family today that your marriage is off."

"what!"

When Xu Damao heard the news, he jumped up excitedly and shouted:

"Dad! Isn't this already agreed upon?"

Xu Fugui also said helplessly:

"I don't know either. The Lou family said that it was Lou Xiao'e who refused."

"But Dad, I didn't even see Lou Xiao'e that day. Why did Lou Xiao'e reject me?"

Xu Damao was unwilling to just blow away the wealth and glory he had obtained, and he was now a little incoherent.

Xu Fugui shouted:

"What nonsense are you talking about, Damao! If this gets out, you'll see how Lou Bancheng will deal with you."

Xu Damao was so scared by Xu Fugui's words that he broke out in a cold sweat.

This will calm you down too.

Lou Bancheng is not a good man.

None of the big capitalists who have survived that era are simple.

Seeing his son calm down, Xu Fugui asked:

"Da Mao, think back. What happened when Mr. Lou came that day? I always feel that there is something strange about this matter."

Xu Damao lowered his head and rolled his eyes, thinking of what Sha Zhu had said when he came to the Propaganda Department that day to mock him, "You want to marry Lou Bancheng's daughter? Dream on!"

And that day, in order to take revenge on Sha Zhu, I asked the security department to arrest Sha Zhu.

Xu Damao suddenly understood.

"It's Shazhu! Dad! It's Shazhu! It's Shazhu who did it! It must be him!"

"Da Mao! Tell Dad what's going on!"

Xu Damao then recounted the grudge between himself and Sha Zhu that day.

After Xu Fugui thought about it, he felt that it was most likely Sha Zhu who did it.

After all, the Xu family has never had any grudges with anyone to the point of requiring revenge like this.

This also explains why the Lou family's attitude changed so much in the past few days.

Thinking of this, Xu Fugui felt very disappointed with Xu Damao.

"You idiot! I told you to keep a low profile during this period. Why did you have to provoke that idiot Sha Zhu? Now you've lost the wife you were going to get."

Xu Damao was in tears. He didn't expect that Sha Zhu, who usually only beat people, would play dirty this time.

"Dad! I won't accept this! We can't just let this go!"

"We really can't just let this go. If Sha Zhu dares to ruin our family's good fortune, then we'll find a way to ruin his marriage. If you can't marry Lou Xiao'e, then Sha Zhu can forget about getting married either."

Xu Fugui said in a sinister and low voice that Sha Zhu had ruined his Xu family's financial future. His Xu family could now be said to be irreconcilable with the He family.

Sha Zhu didn't know that he had inadvertently taken the blame for Wang Jianjun.

His life these days can be as miserable as it can be.

The work in the workshop is much more tiring than that in the kitchen.

You can also take a nap when you are free in the kitchen.

As for the workshop, there is no need to think about it.

He was not assigned to Yi Zhonghai's workshop, so naturally no one would take care of him.

They do the most tiring and dirty work.

Every day, when Sha Zhu gets home, he is so tired that the first thing he does is fall asleep.

Xu Damao now feels ashamed because he had boasted about his marriage to Lou Xiao'e everywhere before.

I have become very low-key in my daily life.

The Siheyuan has a rare period of peace.

Xu Damao and Sha Zhu's marriage is nowhere in sight, and Wang Jianjun's progress is not going smoothly either.

He went to the Central Academy of Drama several times but failed to see the girl.

I wanted to find Old Man Chen but he was nowhere to be seen for three days.

Wang Jianjun thought to himself that this guy must have gotten in through the back door.

This old man must be a relative of the principal as he was not fired despite being so derelict in his duty.

On the other side, Old Man Chen, who was sitting cross-legged in the principal's office smoking and drinking, couldn't help but sneeze.

I secretly thought that the temperature dropped a little early this year.

As September approaches, the temperature in the city gradually drops.

It is finally not that hard for buyers to go to the countryside to purchase.

With the help of several colleagues in the purchasing group, Wang Jianjun basically doesn’t need to run around.

He also collected almost everything around the city.

It can be said that he has now achieved freedom in eating and drinking. He basically has meat at every meal and changes the way he eats and drinks every day.

Of course, he still ate steamed bread with boiled cabbage every meal in the yard.

The three uncles who ate vegetarian food all shook their heads when they saw it.

I just don’t know why Wang Jianjun eats so much every day but his face doesn’t show any signs of paleness.

At the end of September, He Yuzhu was finally released from the workshop after serving his sentence.

He worked very hard in the workshop during this period and lost a lot of weight.

The old deaf man was so heartbroken when he saw this.

Because the whole factory was informed of his stealing, Sha Zhu had a bad reputation recently.

Many people looked at him strangely.

Sha Zhu is a face-conscious person, but he has no other choice.

He could only hide his anger in his heart and prepare to find an opportunity to deal with Xu Damao again.

Although he had put Xu Damao in a sack once before, this was not the end of the matter for Sha Zhu.

It was the first time that Sha Zhu suffered such a big loss at the hands of Xu Damao.

Both of them hid their hatred in their hearts, waiting for the opportunity to give the other a ruthless blow.
