The days of being a buyer in Siheyuan

However, as he thought about it, Yan Bugui began to look frustrated.

"Alas, what a pity. The old lady didn't agree last time. What else can I do?"

Last time, Director Shen from the Street Office came to a meeting to discuss who would be responsible for taking care of the deaf old lady. Although the Yan family had some ideas, they were all rejected.

It is obvious that even the deaf old lady is afraid of the Yan family's stinginess.

Yan Bugui felt very distressed when he thought that he couldn't get such a big advantage.

Liu Dazhuang was listening to the conversation between the two. He was so stubborn that he couldn't understand it at all. Seeing Yan Bugui's expression, he said tentatively, "If you don't go and tell him, how do you know that he doesn't agree now? Maybe he has changed his mind."

Liu Dazhuang's words seemed to give Yan Bugui hope again. He cheered up and said, "Yes, I want to have a good chat with the old lady. At worst, I will ask her to become my godparents after liberation and burn paper money for her in the future."

Yan Bugui made up his mind that he had to wade into this muddy water.

The other people at the table looked at each other in surprise. They didn't expect that Yan Bugui would actually invest so much money and was planning to bring back an ancestor for his own family.

Seeing this, Liu Minghui thought that Yan Bugui had no one to take care of him in his old age, so he showed no mercy at all when it came to plotting against his own sons. No wonder Yan Bugui's sons didn't want to take care of him.

After a while, Yan Bugui left Liu Minghui's house. On the way, he was still muttering about how to explain it to his wife at home.

"Second uncle, are you sleepwalking?"

Yan Bugui met Xu Damao who had just returned.

Yan Bugui looked up when he heard this, and seeing that it was Xu Damao, he smiled and said, "It's Damao, why are you so late today?"

Xu Damao called Yan Bugui, but he just happened to see him coming out of Liu Minghui's house. Xu Damao was curious as to why Yan Bugui went to see Liu Minghui so late at night.

Xu Damao did not ask directly, but said while showing off the net bag hanging on the front of the car: "Well, it's because the villagers are too enthusiastic that they insisted on keeping me for dinner, and they also gave me a lot of things when I left."

After hearing this, Yan Bugui took a closer look and saw a lot of mountain products such as mushrooms in the net bag. Seeing this, he said enviously: "Da Mao, this is great. These are enough to eat for several days. You are really amazing."

Seeing that Yan Bugui couldn't take his eyes away, Xu Damao said with a chuckle, "Hey, let me grab a handful for you, so you can go back and cook some vegetables."

Xu Damao was not stingy either. He just grabbed a handful and put it in Yan Bugui's hand.

Then he pretended to ask casually: "Hey, I saw you coming out of Minghui's house, what's the matter?"

Yan Bugui was happily taking the mushroom, and without thinking too much, he replied, "Hi, I just had something to ask Minghui, and I happened to meet them for dinner, so I was treated to a meal."

Xu Damao nodded when he heard this, and then asked, "What happened in our hospital again?"

Although he asked this, Xu Damao felt that Yan Bugui must have gone there at the right time to eat at other people's meal time.

"Nothing, just something about the old lady in the backyard."

Yan Bugui mentioned this matter, thinking that he still needed to go back and discuss it with his wife, so he hurriedly said goodbye to Xu Damao and said, "You will know when you go home. I have to go back."

After Yan Bugui finished speaking, he hurried home. Xu Damao could still vaguely hear Yan Bugui shouting at home: "Old woman, I have something important to tell you."

"Mysterious."

Xu Damao muttered to himself, but he was really a little curious. After checking that there was no one in the yard, he quietly came to the corner of the front yard, which was just outside the Yan family's house, and he could just hear Yan Bugui's voice.

Xu Damao listened with bated breath, and heard the screams of Yan Bugui's wife, Aunt Yang, coming from the room.

"What did you say? You want me to take care of the old lady. What are you thinking? Do you want to find an ancestor for our family?"

.....

"What did you say? The old lady has a lot of wealth. How did you know that?"

"Keep your voice down, don't let anyone hear you."

Yan Bugui hurriedly asked Aunt Yang to keep her voice down, then walked out of the door. After looking around and seeing that no one was there, he breathed a sigh of relief and went back into the house and closed the door.

After that, Xu Damao never heard any sound coming from the room again.

"Tsk tsk, I see, no wonder."

Xu Damao left the front yard with a big smile on his face. He was in a good mood at the moment. He had just overheard news about the old lady from Yan Bugui and was thinking about how to make use of it.

When passing by the central courtyard, Xu Damao also looked at Yi Zhonghai's house.

I thought to myself, no wonder Yi Zhonghai had to take care of the deaf old lady in the past. Maybe he had known about this for a long time and was planning to take advantage of the deaf old lady's family assets.

When Xu Damao returned home, Li Guihua immediately helped him carry his things, handed him a towel and other things, and asked with concern: "Have you eaten? Do you want me to make you something to eat?"

After all this greeting, Xu Damao waved his hand and said, "No need, I just came back from eating in the countryside."

Thinking of what Yan Bugui had just said, Xu Damao asked Li Guihua, "Did anything happen in the hospital today?"

Li Guihua is at home all day, so if there is any movement, nothing can be hidden from her.

Hearing this, Li Guihua smiled and said, "It's true. The old lady across the street ran to an old man's house and asked him to hold a meeting to find someone to take care of her."

"I heard that he wants the uncle from the middle courtyard to take care of him."

Li Guihua was so happy when she said this, she had never seen such a person, who was eager to be someone else's ancestor and acted as if it was his due.

Thinking about this, Li Guihua said to Xu Damao, "I don't know if the uncle agrees or not. The crowd just dispersed."

After hearing this, Xu Damao took a deep breath and said, "Our family will just watch over it. Don't be so desperate as to pity this old woman, okay?"

Xu Damao told Li Guihua that he had always had a bad impression of the deaf old lady because of Xu's father.

The deaf old lady looked down on the Liu and Xu families in the backyard from the very beginning, and often said things like "Liu Haizhong is an unkind father and an unfilial son" in front of others, which almost made Liu Haizhong angry to death.

The Xu family is even simpler. Xu's father and He Daqing don't get along, and the children of the two families don't get along either. Xu Damao and He Yuzhu had a big fight before.

The deaf old lady treated He Yuzhu like her own grandson and often took sides with him in the yard.

She also spoke ill of Xu Damao in front of outsiders to ruin his reputation. Over time, the Xu family kept their distance from the deaf old lady.

That's why even though Xu Damao knew that the deaf old lady had quite a bit of wealth, he still didn't want to take over this mess.

"I understand. I don't want to have more ancestors."

Li Guihua nodded and said after hearing this.

Xu Damao was looking outside and muttered, "I guess there are a lot of people who want to do that."
