Comfortable life in Siheyuan

Seeing Xu Damao's furious look, Liu Qingshan and Sha Zhu laughed particularly happily.

"This guy is really daring. Doesn't he see that the matchmaker is teasing him?" Sha Zhu grinned and laughed very happily.

"Well, this is just a toad wanting to eat swan flesh, it's wishful thinking." Liu Qingshan patted Sha Zhu's shoulder and said happily.

When there was nothing else to watch, Liu Qingshan went back to his room. He had been working overtime on the book every day, and he had finally finished it today. Liu Qingshan proofread it again in the morning, and then packed it all up.

This afternoon, Lou Xiao'e came to see Feng Yu.

"Sister Xiao'e, you haven't been here for a long time. Why are you here today?" Looking at Lou Xiao'e approaching, Feng Yu greeted her with a smile.

"I'm taking a rest today. I haven't seen my daughter for a long time. I miss her." Lou Xiao'e said, and picked up Xixi.

"You have been very busy recently. Is the work at the welfare home very busy?" Feng Yu raised his head slightly and looked at Lou Xiao'e in confusion.

"It's okay. Maybe it's because I've never done any real work before, so I wasn't very used to it at first, but it's much better now. Although I'm a little tired, my life is really fulfilling." Lou Xiao'e explained to the two with a smile.

Just then, the families of Sha Zhu and Nan Yi also came over.

Liu Qingshan greeted them and asked them to sit down.

"Hey, Lou Xiao'e, why are you here? I haven't seen you for a long time." Sha Zhu said carelessly.

"Why can't I come? I have a day off today, so I came to see you. Niu Niu, come here, let me hug you." Lou Xiao'e reached out and hugged Niu Niu again.

Liu Qingshan clearly noticed the low mood in Lou Xiao'e.

"You can come, you can come, aren't you welcome?" Sha Zhu bent his body slightly and said in a servile way.

"That's more like it. Niu Niu, don't learn from your father. Be polite to your godmother in the future." Lou Xiao'e said and glared at Sha Zhu.

"Xiao'e, Xu Damao is in the yard today. He went to see matchmaker Wang at noon..." Sha Zhu was telling Lou Xiao'e the story of Xu Damao today in vivid detail.

Everyone else watched him perform quietly.

"He's so bold, a man with no family yet he wants to harm a virgin girl. And he wants her to be pretty. Pah!" Lou Xiao'e raised her eyebrows and said with disgust.

Lou Xiao'e's words resonated with everyone, and everyone echoed her, expressing indignation at Xu Damao's behavior.

Sha Zhu continued, "Xu Damao doesn't even look at his own character. He's still so picky. It's strange that the girl would like him!"

Ding Qiunan also interrupted and said, "When I first arrived at the factory, he went to the infirmary to harass me every day. It annoyed me to death."

Feng Yu was surprised and said, "There is such a thing, why haven't we heard about it?"

Nan Yi smiled and said, "That's true. I wanted to look for him, but for some reason he didn't go, so we just let it go."

Liu Qingshan explained: "On the day you moved, he saw that I knew you and asked me all sorts of questions. I told him that Dr. Ding had been married for a long time. I guess that's why he gave up."

Sha Zhu said with disdain: "A man like him is not worthy of thinking about Doctor Ding. He is really crazy."

"Yeah, he is still thinking about finding a pretty girl?" Feng Yu thought of this with some contempt.

Lou Xiao'e sighed and said, "Alas, if there really is a girl who is deceived by him, it would be tragic."

Sha Zhu patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, I, Sha Zhu, am here to make it happen."

Everyone burst into laughter after hearing what Sha Zhu said.

Lou Xiao'e's mood also improved as she laughed. She looked at her friends around her and felt extremely warm in her heart.

Everyone drank tea and chatted, and the afternoon passed quickly.

Everyone left, and Liu Qingshan also saw Lou Xiao'e out.

"Sister Xiao'e, how many days do you have left?" Liu Qingshan asked in a low voice.

"Just these few days. Everything that needs to be prepared has been prepared. I came here today to say goodbye to everyone." Lou Xiao'e was a little depressed.

Liu Qingshan took out a few books he had wrapped and handed them to Lou Xiaoe.

"Sister Xiao'e, I'd like to ask you for a favor. These are the novels I wrote in my spare time. When you get over there, please help me publish them when you have time. Please keep the royalties for me and give them to me when you can come back one day." Liu Qingshan said softly.

Lou Xiao'e looked at Liu Qingshan in confusion: "You can also write novels, can't you publish them in China?"

"The subject matter is not suitable for us. Please help me take it out and deal with it." Liu Qingshan replied with a smile.

"You trust me so much, aren't you afraid that I won't come back?" Lou Xiao'e said with a smile.

"What am I afraid of? Your daughter is still here. How can I not trust you?" Liu Qingshan knew Lou Xiao'e's character and knew that she would definitely come back.

"Don't worry, I will help you deal with it after you settle down there. I also believe that I will come back one day." Lou Xiao'e said with tears in her eyes.

"Okay, then you go back. I won't see you off." Liu Qingshan waved and said goodbye to Lou Xiao'e.

Looking at Liu Qingshan who entered the room, Feng Yu asked, "Has Sister Xiao'e left?"

"Well, I'm leaving. I don't know when I can see you again." Liu Qingshan said hesitantly.

Feng Yu showed a puzzled expression on his face, but did not ask.

A few days later, shocking news came from the steel mill.

The Lou family donated all their shares and the villa they currently lived in at once.

And the whole family moved, reportedly back to their hometown in the south.

This incident caused quite a stir in Beijing.

Several investigators came to the courtyard.

Xu Damao was also taken away for investigation for several days.

That day, Liu Qingshan was about to get off work when he was called in for questioning by several police officers. He did not go to the police station, but found a place in the security room.

"Comrade Liu Qingshan, don't be nervous. We are here to understand the situation. According to the masses, your family has a very good relationship with Lou Xiao'e and has always been in contact with her."

"Yes, Lou Xiao'e used to live next door to my house. When I was on a business trip in the first half of the year, she got along well with my wife Feng Yu." Liu Qingshan said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"Did you know about their departure?"

"We only found out about this yesterday. We had never heard of this before."

"I heard that your daughter is Lou Xiao'e's goddaughter. Is that true?"

"Lou Xiao'e and Xu Damao have been married for several years but have no children. After our family gave birth to a child this year, she was happy to be the child's godmother, and we didn't directly refuse. But it was only verbal, and no recognition ceremony was held." Liu Qingshan said matter-of-factly.

"Did they mention this to you before they left?"

"I haven't mentioned it, but now that I think about it, her coming to visit us last weekend might have been a farewell in disguise."

"What is their relationship with Xu Damao's family?"

"Didn't they get divorced? They always quarreled before the divorce, so their relationship must not be that good. Lou Xiao'e talked to us a few times and said that Xu Damao had health problems and couldn't have children."

"What about the relationship between the Lou family and the Xu family?"

"Then I don't know. I only know that Mr. Xu used to be the driver of the Lou family, and Mrs. Xu used to be a servant of the Lou family. They are not usually in the yard, and I have never seen anyone from the Lou family. Public Security Comrade, aren't they in their hometown?" Liu Qingshan asked with pretended doubt.

"Don't ask questions that are not your responsibility. Okay, that's it, you can go back first." An older police officer stood up and asked Liu Qingshan to go back.
