Chapter 498: Planning a Retreat
His father-in-law is really generous, Wang Hongtao thought on his way back.
The nine rooms in this courtyard alone are worth four to five thousand yuan, plus the bonus of the entire yard, as well as various decorations, furniture, bedding, etc., the price is directly into the tens of thousands.
The key point is that Wang Hongtao has four more house deeds like this!
Lou Bancheng really treats himself as a son-in-law!
Comparing him with Xu Damao, who had been the son-in-law of the Lou family for two and a half years but had gained nothing, Wang Hongtao suddenly understood why Xu Damao would rush to kill his father-in-law when the storm started.
First, the Lou family’s problem
In the early years when the Lou family was still prosperous, Xu Damao was never blessed. Let’s not talk about the official affairs for now. The Lou family is so rich, it’s not excessive to give Xu Damao a little bit of benefit as a son-in-law, right?
Unfortunately, no. Even Xu Damao’s bicycle was public property of the factory. The meat, old hens, and palm-sized bacon in his home, weren’t they all obtained by him begging in the countryside?
Okay, let’s not talk about this. Xu Damao was often beaten by Sha Zhu. The Lou family must know about this, right?
But has the Lou family ever helped him vent his anger over the years? With Lou Bancheng's power, it shouldn't be difficult for him to just say something or find someone to beat up Sha Zhu, right?
The Lou family still did nothing and pretended nothing happened.
The above three points are enough to prove that the Lou family did not regard Xu Damao as their own family member, and did not even look at him in the right eye. They only said that he had a small peasant mentality and was not capable of doing anything important.
Second, Lou Xiao'e's problem
There’s no problem with Lou Xiao’e divorcing him!
Anyway, Xu Damao was planning to marry Qin Jingru, but the question is, after you divorced Xu Damao, why did you want to get involved with Sha Zhu? There are no other men in the world?
After getting divorced, his wife got involved with his archenemy. No man can tolerate this, right?
Of course, judging from this point of view alone, not to mention the second son, Wang Hongtao is not much better. After sleeping with someone else's wife, he even laid an egg in her nest.
The third point, and also the most crucial one, is the general trend.
There are so many cases of fathers and sons fighting, husbands and wives turning against each other, and masters and apprentices fighting each other, but what about Xu Damao, who is full of negative emotions?
Wang Hongtao felt that the Lou family's fate was already certain if they hadn't left at that time, and it would have been the same whether Xu Damao reported it or not.
As for the big boss coming out to let him go, that's probably nonsense, what about the top figure in Beijing...
Thinking of this, Wang Hongtao narrowed his eyes slightly: It’s getting late, it’s time to make plans for the future.
Lou Xiao'e had no choice but to leave.
Chen Xueru is also in danger. Her family background is better than Lou Xiao'e's, but she is also at considerable risk.
Xu Huizhen is actually much better off than Chen Xueru. She was born a hired farmer and the tavern she owns is also the property of the He family. All Wang Hongtao needs to do is sell the tavern and then find a reason to blame the He family. This is not difficult for him to do.
The sooner the better. She must donate the tavern after the Chinese New Year or at the latest in the first month of the lunar year. Now is not the time to worry about a few small interests.
Another person who is a little more risky is Ding Qiunan, but the problem is not serious and is within the controllable range.
The remaining few are fine, as they are of good origin.
In summary, Lou Xiao'e's problem was the most serious. She had to be sent away in 63. We couldn't wait until the problem came to a head before reacting.
Chen Xueru is next, she can leave or stay, but she also needs to be carefully considered;
That's roughly the arrangement for those women. As for myself, it goes without saying that I have to maintain good relationships with my superiors, peers, and subordinates. Otherwise, what's the point of getting these little pills and supplies?
You have no shortage of money or material things, so aren't you thinking about uniting all the forces that can be united in order to stand firm in the coming storm?
After thinking about it, Wang Hongtao couldn't help but sigh: Oh, I, Wang, have really been worried about following the prime minister's will.
……
On the way back, Wang Hongtao talked about this matter with Xu Huizhen and Chen Xueru.
At first Xu Huizhen was reluctant, saying, "Why not work for another year?" After all, the situation was getting better.
At this time, Wang Hongtao remembered the huge stone that pressed the sauerkraut that Old Man He had repeatedly mentioned in the play, so he asked Xu Hui if it was true and asked her to take him to see it.
The stone that was finally taken out was found to weigh at least thirty or forty kilograms. After Chen Xueru identified it, she said it was a top-grade Tianhuang jade!
Huo, such a large piece of Tianhuang jade is priceless, enough to be worth several small taverns. Only then did Xu Huizhen agree and said that she would donate the tavern and the He family courtyard together after the first month of the lunar year.
After the discussion, the three of them went to the Chen family residence to have dinner together, and only returned to the courtyard after their relationship deepened.
When I returned to the courtyard, the yard had become quiet.
When he got home, He Yushui was still at home. After washing the dishes, he was chatting with Qin Jingru. Wang Hongtao invited Yushui to stay there tonight.
He Yushui refused to do so, saying that she would spend more time with him after she went to the courtyard in a few days. Wang Hongtao had no choice but to agree.
"Brother Tao, I heard from the uncles in the hospital that you are this year's advanced worker? What reward did you get?" Qin Jingru asked with a smile.
Knowing Qin Jingru's money-grubbing nature, Wang Hongtao took back all the New Year's goods and advanced rewards distributed today, even the enamel jars and cups with red print.
He went to the back of the bicycle, picked up the bag and put it on the ground: "Here, it's all here, take a look for yourself!"
"Well!"
"Ten pounds of flour, one pound of pork, and twenty pounds of cornmeal..."
"There are so many! I can't remember them all..." Qin Jingru became happier and happier as she counted, her eyes shining with excitement.
No matter whether Qin Jingru would be happy or not, this girl has always wanted to serve her man well, manage the household well, and live a harmonious and happy life.
What is happiness? There is rice in the jar, firewood under the stove, and the man has you in his heart. Happiness is a peaceful life for the wife.
I don’t know how many people are envious of this alone.
……
late at night.
Qin Huairu stood up suddenly.
"Mom, where did you put those oversized shoes?"
Jia Zhang took out a flashlight from under the bed and said, "Are you going tonight? You keep going all day without taking a break. No matter how greedy you are, you have to know your limits. If you don't keep going, you won't stop."
Qin Huairu was a little embarrassed, but still insisted, "Of course I know what you said, Mom. Did you know that my brother-in-law was in the limelight again in the factory today? He was an advanced worker and even gave a speech on stage. There are only three of him in the factory with 10,000 people!"
"I was watching the girls around me from the audience and their eyes were all glowing green!"
"We'll be on holiday starting tomorrow. If I'm really tired, I can just make up for it during the day!"
The corners of Jia Zhang's mouth twitched. Although she knew that Qin Huairu's past was beneficial to the Jia family, she still felt a little jealous.
You said that we are all widows, so why can you, Qin Huairu, live a happy life with revelry every night, while I, Zhang Xiaohua, have to endure the misery?
Jia Zhang couldn't help but think of the No. 6 bus she took to Qinjiatun that afternoon...
After all, time is unforgiving...
Jia Zhang sighed and said helplessly, "Okay, go if you want, but remember to be careful on the road, don't be so busy having fun that you forget about the important things!"
Qin Huairu replied while washing herself: "Don't worry, Mom, I will remember to say good things to our Jia family!"
Afterwards, Qin Huairu picked up the flashlight, put on her special shoes and left the Jia family. As usual, she walked to the door of Sha Zhu's house first, leaving footprints before walking to the backyard.
The road is clearly visible because of the white snow in the yard. I save the flashlight for use after entering the door.
