Xu Damao's Thirty-Six Stratagems in Siheyuan

People say that women are like wolves at thirty, tigers at forty, and still sitting on the ground sucking dirt at fifty. It’s true.

Fang Xiaoru suddenly became a little bird under the urging of the shameless Xu Damao. However, her skills were not as deep as Xu Damao's. In the duel between the two masters, the victory or defeat depended on the most crucial move.

"Da Mao, do you think I am a bitch too? I can't even hate you when I meet a shameless villain like you."

"Xiao Ru, this is called sin. Just think of it as something you owed me in your previous life. By the way, is your school open now? Are you going to work?"

"What the hell, our principal has been sent down to the Loess Plateau, what kind of class is that?"

"So do you pay salaries? How do teachers make a living?"

"Taxes pay your salary? The school is closed, where are you going to get your salary?"

"So how do you live?"

"The street office has taken care of the food and oil problem, but we are short of money. I used to have some savings, but they are running out of food. I will wait for you to support me from now on."

"Okay, I just happen to have something for you to do right now, and you're the best person to do it."

"What? I don't do murder or arson."

"A way to make money, investing in J and betting on Ba, do you dare to do it? I will pave the way for you, you will be responsible for shipping, collecting money, and sometimes contacting the supplier, how about that?"

"Why should I be afraid? There are so many people doing this in the market now. People are almost starving to death, and they still don't want to make changes. Go ahead, how should I do it? You tell me."

"Oh, there really is a martial arts school. Xiaoru, you are really an expert in martial arts. If you were here a hundred years earlier, you would probably have a name for yourself."

"But, Xu Damao, can you trust him? If he gets caught, it will be a big deal."

"So, it requires both skill and courage. But we don't do black market business, that's too risky. We do it with companies we are familiar with, business to business, with less risk and less profit. But a little bit counts, a little bit adds up to a lot, a little bit adds up to a lot, and if there is something to it, it will definitely be better than working for a salary. It's no problem to earn a few hundred dollars a month."

"Okay, I know that once I get on your pirate ship, I'll probably be led astray by you sooner or later. Look, you've already shamelessly gotten together with a married man, and you're still thinking about having a baby with you, a bastard. By the way, Xu Damao, how about I have a baby with you? Do you dare?"

"There's nothing to be afraid of, but can you take it easy and wait for a while? I just discussed this money-making thing with you, and you're pregnant. How can we have fun?"

"Oh, you really dare to do that? What about Widow Gu?"

"Divorce, it's just a matter of getting a marriage certificate. It's not a big deal. Divorce is nothing big. Getting married is not difficult. I'm not a good person in the first place. Xiaoru, don't call me a widow. Since you followed me and want to have a baby with me, Meifang seems to be one year older than you, so what if you call her big sister? After all, the house is returned to your parents, and your brother lives there for free."

Fang Xiaoru was suddenly speechless. Indeed, her son had brought gifts to visit her parents during the Spring Festival. Although she knew that the gifts might have been provided by Xu Damao, it was also a fact that the house was occupied.

"Xiao Ru, Meifang is a nice person, really. Although she is not well educated, she is learning now. I am a bastard, if you really want to have a child, I promise you that I will fulfill your wish. But I will not leave Meifang. The courtyard I live in now is for Meifang and her mother. Even if I really divorce her in the future, she is still my woman, Xu Damao, and I will take care of her to the end. The same applies to you. I won't hide it from you, my ex-wife is now in Hong Kong or maybe in the United States, and she will return to Kyoto in ten or fifteen years, and she will still be my woman."

"Humph, you have a big appetite, thinking about restoring the monarchy, with three wives and four concubines."

"Wife, no concubine. All beings are equal. There is no big or small, only sisters. Think about it carefully. I am so shameless."

Xu Damao took out a cigarette and lit it, then got off the kang and poured himself a cup of hot water. He drank it and said with a cheeky smile, "Now the show is over and I'm sober. Do you want me to stay and sleep with you? If you stay, we'll go to sleep. If not, I'll get up and leave."

"Xu Damao, threatening me?"

"Look at what you said. I told you my most secret things. If you report me, I will be dead. What can I threaten you with? I just want to make you my real wife, my sweetheart, and my family. What a silly girl."

Fang Xiaoru finally understood what was going on: So this bastard meant it. Pretty straightforward.

"Alright, alright, let's just stay here. It's so cold outside, do you want to freeze yourself to death? At worst, I can go to your house tomorrow and apologize to Sister Gu. Is that okay? You still say there's no age difference, but I'm still the younger one!"

"You are young, young in age. But you have big breasts and good manners. Xiaoru, do you want to add a scene? I am awake now and have rested enough. How about we drink together? When life is happy, we should enjoy it to the fullest, and don't let the golden cup face the moon in vain. The Immortal Poet taught us this way."

"You are so beautiful. If you want to add more scenes, I am not afraid of you."

……

A few days later, Xu Damao contacted Guo Jiawei and arranged to rent a safe house. He also contacted his second brother Zhang Lingyun and bought a cart. In less than a week, the team led by Fang Xiaoru, Guo Jiawei, Zhang Lingyun, and Xu Damao was formed. The first batch of one and a half tons of frozen seafood, ten pieces of cloth, and seven hundred kilograms of pork were consumed in just two days. Before the Lantern Festival, they made a profit of 2,400 yuan, which was divided into six parts. Xu Damao took three parts, and the others each took one part.

The next day, Fang Xiaoru actually went to Dongshishi Street, poured tea for Gu Meifang, and called her sister.

The two of them suddenly became a team and worked together to deal with Xu Damao, which even frightened Xu Damao.

"Da Mao, Xiao Yong has met with Li Weihong. Sister Chen said that they should have another private meeting. If it works out, they can get married this year."

"So fast? Xiaoyong is quite capable."

"It's impossible not to learn from you. You can even force me and Xiaoru together, you are so capable. But I think Wei Hong is really good. I am quite satisfied with her."

"Wei Hong, you've had a hard life since you were little. Of course, I watched them grow up, and their family is good, and they come from good families. You should encourage Xiao Yong to do his best. Another thing has been basically decided, Xiao Yu will go to the Finance Department as an auditor next month. It was decided when I had lunch with Director Li this afternoon. Go there when you have time and let Xiao Yu get ready."

Gu Meifang didn't expect that what they had just talked about before the New Year would be settled so quickly. Her heart was pounding. This happiness came too suddenly.

In fact, it happened so quickly because Xu Damao gave Li Huaide another watch, an imported watch worth more than three hundred yuan that Guo Xiaosan had bought.

Xu Damao thought it was better to cut the Gordian knot and make a decision quickly. He did it in front of the chief financial officer when he and Li Huaide had lunch at the canteen at noon. The chief financial officer also got a Shanghai watch. It was worth 127 yuan. In other words, he spent 500 yuan to turn the logistics warehouse manager into a financial staff member, who is expected to be promoted to an officer in the future.

Xu Damao felt it was worth it.

Chen Zhiyu is not an outsider. First, she is a cheap adopted daughter, and second, she is also the wife of my nephew, and she is pregnant. This money should be spent.
