I am doing well in the Siheyuan

"Hey, you got 90,000 yuan in compensation, and you're still thinking of getting the house deed back from me?"

Xu Damao watched the farce with a gloating smile on his face.

He didn't expect to learn such inside information. This was undoubtedly good news for him.

Next to them, the neighbors in the courtyard also started talking about it.

"Uncle San is trying to get something for nothing, a full 90,000 yuan!"

"He got all the benefits!"

"You are so stingy even to your own flesh and blood. You won't give a penny."

"The current house price is about 50,000 yuan, so it seems that this deal is still a good deal!"

"I've only heard about Third Master's shrewdness before, but today I've finally seen it with my own eyes!"

The whispers around him pierced Yan Bugui's face like needles.

"We need to distinguish right from wrong in this matter. You sold us a fake product, and that's your fault!"

Despite the tremendous pressure, Yan Bugui still persevered.

He coveted both the house deed and the 90,000 yuan.

"So, you're planning to use 90,000 yuan to exchange for the house deed?"

Xu Damao didn't want to get entangled with Yan Bugui, and the other party could only choose one between the house and cash.

"My son gave you this property deed secretly. Believe it or not, I will sue you for theft!"

Yan Bugui blurted out this idea in a hurry without thinking it through.

Yan Jiecheng's face turned pale instantly.

If he is really charged with theft, he will probably not be able to escape jail.

The father and son became completely estranged from each other because of this incident.

Xu Damao also quickly realized this.

I didn't expect that Yan Bugui would not even care about his own son for just a few tens of thousands of dollars.

The looks of the onlookers as they looked at the third uncle also changed accordingly.

As the saying goes: Even a tiger will not eat its own cubs, but this uncle was so cruel that he pushed his own son into prison.

"Do you think you can scare me like this? Even if you call the police, the final result is that I will return the house deed and the 10,000 yuan to you, and you still have to pay me 90,000 yuan!"

How could Xu Damao be easily intimidated by Yan Bugui's threats?

After hearing this, Yan Jiecheng's expression eased slightly.

Yan Bugui was extremely conflicted at this moment.

If he handed over the 90,000 yuan to Xu Damao, he would still suffer a loss.

"I'll pay you 10,000 yuan, and you can return the property deed, right?"

Yan Bugui was not willing to give up.

"You are kidding, right? It is a foregone conclusion that the house deed belongs to me now, but I will not force you to move out. You can continue to live there, pay ten dollars a month in rent, and write a letter of guarantee to make everything clear. What do you think?"

Xu Damao wanted to resolve the issue quickly and proposed a solution.

Yan Bugui pondered for a moment, his heart filled with pain.

If I hadn't come to find Xu Damao, perhaps I could still live in peace.

Looking at the scrutinizing eyes around him, his face was almost gone.

We can no longer argue about this matter!

"Let's put the rent issue aside for now!"

Yan Bugui tried to delay time.

Xu Damao saw through his thoughts. After all, the other party was old and it was impossible for him to play any tricks on him.

He turned his attention to Yan Jiecheng and decided to find a breakthrough point from him.

"That's it, but Yan Jiecheng must stay and sort things out!"

Xu Damao made a request, but Yan Bugui did not explicitly agree. Instead, he chose to leave sadly, which could be regarded as tacit consent.

Yan Jiecheng didn't want to go back home immediately because his father would definitely blame him.

"Brother Xu!"

He followed Xu Damao closely and called out respectfully after entering the house.

"You feel wronged, right? Look at your father, he is such a scoundrel, what good can you get from following him?"

Xu Damao scolded Yan Bugui while paying attention to the changes in Yan Jiecheng's expression.

"In fact, I know that you are a filial child. Even though Third Uncle is so harsh on you, you have been able to endure it until now. If it were me, I would have quit long ago."

Xu Damao spoke up for Yan Jiecheng from his perspective.

"Brother Xu, just say what you want to say, no need to beat around the bush!"

Yan Jiecheng heard the hidden meaning in Xu Damao's words.

"Then I'll be frank. I just said the rent is ten dollars a month and I allow you to continue living here because of your kindness.

Go back and tell your dad that you have already rented this house, so that at least you can overpower him in terms of momentum."

Xu Damao first praised Yan Jiecheng and then gave him advice.

The latter seemed somewhat confused but also quite interested.

"If I'm guessing correctly, you're still working at the factory and getting that fixed salary, right? In my opinion, you should stop doing that job and work on the construction site with me. The money you earn there is definitely much better than the fixed salary at the steel mill!"

After laying the groundwork, Xu Damao finally revealed his purpose.

"Going to work on the construction site?"

Yan Jiecheng is not a man who dares to take risks, otherwise he would not still live with Yan Bugui.

“Yes, the salary is at least twice what you have now, and if you can bring more people to join, I can even make you a foreman.

You know, now that the Third Uncle has taken all the money, and you are still heavily in debt, how can you make money if you don't make changes, how can you get rid of his control?"

Taking advantage of Yan Jiecheng's hesitation, Xu Damao further lobbied him based on his situation.

"Is it okay if I know nothing about construction work?"

Yan Jiecheng was hesitant and undecided.

"You will learn it sooner or later. There are masters on the construction site to guide you!" Xu Damao thought to himself that he should keep the people at ease first. As long as the construction team is fully staffed, other problems will be solved naturally.

"Okay, Brother Xu, I will follow you from now on!"

"Okay, you go home first. I'll take you to meet the boss tomorrow." Xu Damao nodded with satisfaction.

Looking at Yan Jiecheng's back as he walked back to the front yard, Xu Damao was thinking about how to use him.

"Uncle Xu, aren't you losing money by doing this?" Bang Geng was puzzled.

“You don’t understand this. The land prices in Sijiu City are rising continuously. The title deed is in my hands, which means I am holding wealth.

Even though a house is only 50,000 or 60,000 yuan now, you may not be able to buy one with 90,000 yuan in the future." Xu Damao explained, "As for Yan Jiefang, since he is with us now, do you think he will still be loyal to Yan Bugui? Definitely not. In a few years, he will be alone, what can he do to me!"

Xu Damao’s words reminded Banggeng of another person—Ye Ming.

It turns out that Xu Damao's current actions are exactly what the other party did in the past.

At first I just thought it was revenge, but I didn't expect there were deeper considerations behind it.

Bang Geng glanced at the house behind him and made up his mind to find a new place to live. He felt uneasy living under someone else's roof.

Xu Damao, who knew nothing about this, was thinking in his mind that with Yan Jiecheng's joining, the construction team's affairs could finally be completed.

On the other side, Yan Jiecheng returned home with a lot on his mind, but was met with a cold face from Yan Bugui.
