Siheyuan: A blessed place to start

It has become an obsession for Xu Damao to find Dachengzi.

He came to the restaurant several times, all for Dachengzi. The relationship between the two began with a woman and will end with a woman.

After leaving Qianmen Street, Xu Damao tried to look for him in the nearby alleys. A man with a woman and a child should be a big target. And since it was nearly the end of the year and they were renting a house, he should be able to be found as long as he appeared in this area.

But no one in Zhima Hutong near the front gate noticed the three of them.

Xu Damao was a little panicked. Wang Fangfang had no friends or even relatives in the city, except Dachengzi.

Where can these three people hide?

The more Xu Damao thought about it, the angrier he became. This time he experienced the feeling of shooting himself in the foot.

I have ruined my wife, children and my warm bed. What's the point? Just to feel good for a while?

Well, that’s really refreshing and it meets Bai Sulan’s thoughts.

In the evening, when Xu Damao returned to the courtyard exhausted, he smelled the fragrance of rice before he even entered the door.

I was so excited that I thought Wang Fangfang came back, but when I opened the door, it turned out to be Bang Geng.

"Gengzi? Why are you here? How did you get in?!"

Banggeng's face suddenly changed while he was chewing peanuts.

"Uncle Mao, do you think I'm a thief? Why don't you check if there's anything missing from the house and catch the thief red-handed?"

Xu Damao glanced at the food on the table and thought, well, it’s pretty good!

At least there is a roast chicken, some peanuts, and a little wine, which is also very delicious.

"Hehe, misunderstanding, misunderstanding! I'm just wondering, how did you get in if you didn't have a key?"

Bang Geng felt uncomfortable after hearing this, "So you still think I'm a thief. I even brought food to help you look after the house. Well, it's unnecessary for me!"

As he said that, Banggeng was about to leave with the peanuts, but Xu Damao quickly stopped him.

"No, no, this is a slap in my face! I just remembered that I was in a hurry to go out this morning, so I didn't lock the door! This is just a misunderstanding! Don't be so stupid and have no sense of justice at all!"

Xu Damao patted Banggeng's shoulder with a smile and forced him to stay down.

Banggeng rolled his eyes at him and threw the cup down in anger.

"Man, we are partners after all. If we don't even have this little bit of trust, what cooperation can we talk about?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the wine glass was thrown on the table again. Xu Damao shrugged awkwardly and smiled.

"Gengzi, you still don't have enough sense of justice. In this respect, you are much worse than Shazhu. You haven't learned even a little bit of his good qualities!"

When it comes to Shazhu, Banggeng is even more unwilling to listen.

"Don't mention him to me. He and I are not the same kind of people! Sha Zhu is Sha Zhu, and I am me!"

Banggeng's words made Xu Damao completely see through the relationship between the two, just as he had guessed.

They appear to be close on the surface, but secretly look down on each other. In fact, it is only Qin Huairu who protects them, otherwise the two would have fallen out long ago.

"Speaking of cooperation, man! Is there any sign of business happening?"

Having said that, Xu Damao took the opportunity to pour a glass of wine for Banggeng and sat down.

The unpleasantness between the two was also forgotten.

"I've gone to see Li Limin, and the matter will be settled by next week at the latest. He asked us to raise the money as soon as possible! Then we can exchange the money and the goods."

Xu Damao widened his eyes in surprise. He never dreamed that Bang Geng had accomplished this even though he was not involved in the negotiations.

"Okay, Gengzi, I was right about you. It has to be you! I knew it would be right to entrust this matter to you! How many TV sets are there in total, and how much are they!"

Xu Damao asked the price excitedly, and Bang Geng took out a small piece of paper from his pocket with a string of numbers written on it.

One, ten, hundreds, thousands, ten thousand...

"Wow, so many!"

"Uncle Mao, there are ten in total. Li Limin said that this batch was taken from other senior leaders. The procedures have been completed, and all signatures and seals have been obtained!"

Xu Damao frowned slightly, and was a little impatient for the money that was about to come.

But where did this capital come from? The two of them stared at each other and smiled at the same time.

"Uncle Mao, you have worked in the factory for decades, so you must have saved a lot. You have to pay the lion's share of this."

Banggeng knew Xu Damao too well. This was a matter where the risks should be shared 50-50. If he were asked to pay alone, he would definitely not agree.

The money earned by then will not be divided smoothly.

In that case, he might as well have sorted out the accounts and settled them clearly long ago. After all, even brothers would settle their accounts clearly when doing business with each other, let alone with this old fox.

Xu Damao smiled awkwardly and stroked his stubble. "Gengzi, this is the first deal between us two. As your elder, I should set an example for you. But you also know that my salary is paid by three people..."

When mentioning his wife and children, Xu Damao frowned and was so angry!

"How about this, I'll take out all my savings, and you figure out how to make up the rest."

As he said that, Xu Damao stood up and went to get the money. Seeing Xu Damao enter the house, Bang Geng squinted his eyes and poked his head to peek into the house.

But Xu Damao was more cautious against him than he was against thieves. Although the door to the house was not closed, he used his body to block the attack.

Don't give him any chance to peek at all.

Seeing that his attempt to steal a prostitute was futile, he became cautious and stopped spying with his stick. He just crunched peanuts and drank wine in great comfort.

After a while, Xu Damao came out from the inner room and took out a stack of black banknotes.

Bang Geng felt the thickness and estimated it to be about five or six thousand yuan.

"What do you mean by that smile? Do you think it's too little?"

“This is all my savings!”

As he said that, Xu Damao threw the money on the table with a bang, while Bang Geng slapped the peanuts in his hands and smiled awkwardly!

"Uncle Mao, I'll find a way to get the rest. Isn't it just money?"

Xu Damao opened his eyes wide and couldn't believe his ears.

"Well! I believe in your ability. The remaining money is not a problem at all. I have exactly half of it. When you have the remaining money together, we will go to find Li Limin together. When the time comes, we will hand over the money and the goods, and the matter will be settled."

"Don't worry, I'll do it as soon as possible! Pay the deposit in three days, the balance in five days, and he'll deliver the goods!"

After hearing this, Xu Damao nodded silently. He never expected that Banggeng was so decisive in doing things.

Although he usually looks out of shape, he looks pretty good now.

"Okay, it's settled! Don't let anyone find out about this..."

"Don't worry, I haven't told anyone, and you must not tell anyone, especially the people in our hospital!"

Everyone in the courtyard has a big mouth and a thick waist. If there is anything happening, they want to spread it to the whole world.

Especially since what they did was on the edge of the law, it would be a disaster if it got out!

They both understood each other and were very careful.
