Siheyuan: I stand for Xu Damao because he is my brother

Outside the house, at the foot of the wall, Xu Dacan, Yu Li, and Xu Yao were squatting side by side.

Then they exchanged glances with each other: "Borrow money? He Yushui asked Xu Damao to borrow money?"

He Yushui was a little embarrassed to speak: "Brother Damao, I know I shouldn't ask you this, but our factory hasn't been able to pay wages for almost 4 months. My mother-in-law..."

Inside the house, before Xu Damao could say anything, the three people outside started to talk again: "Why did He Yushui end up with such an evil mother-in-law?"

"Not really. Who made He Yushui helpless? Her father ran away when she was a child and would rather join other people than her. Her brother Sha Zhu is unreliable. With her like this, won't people bully her? Just like me before, forget it, let's not talk about his family. It makes me sick when I talk about them!"

"Her relationship with that police officer has been full of twists and turns, and their wedding date has been postponed again and again. I don't know what she likes about that police officer? He has been a police officer for so many years, earning only a small salary every month, and he has a lot of trouble. Now she has been laid off again..."

Xu Dacan realized what he had said here and stopped immediately.

But Xu Yao, whose curiosity had been aroused by him, refused to let him go: "Brother, what does being laid off mean?"

Xu Dacan had no choice but to explain: "It means literally, their factory stopped production and couldn't pay wages, it's like being laid off from the job..."

Xu Yao thought about it carefully, and it was true! These two words were really appropriate.

At this time, He Yushui was heard saying in the room: "I was originally going to look for my brother, but I changed my mind when I got to the door. He's been in jail, can't find a decent job, and it's hard for him to live alone. Brother Damao, after thinking about it, I can only look for you..."

Xu Damao originally wanted to tell her that your brother is not in a difficult situation. He earns extra money outside and makes a lot of money. His life is only slightly worse than that of the two families in this compound.

But after hearing He Yushui's last sentence, he changed his mind: "Hahaha, look at what you said, Yushui, why are you being so polite to me? As long as you want it, as long as I have it, right, you name the amount!"

Outside, at the foot of the wall, Yu Li clenched her fists tightly, as if she was squeezing Xu Damao's life force...

Xu Yao was giggling beside them.

Xu Dacan rolled his eyes to the back of his head. This brother of his is really a master at flirting with girls.

As long as you want, as long as I have...

Listen, if a single girl came here, wouldn’t she be hooked up by him and become a black bass?

"..."

Xu Dacan also wanted to know how much money He Yushui planned to borrow from Xu Damao.

I thought I would have to borrow at least 100 or 200 yuan, but He Yushui hesitated for a long time before finally squeezing out a sentence: "3, 30 yuan."

Xu Damao almost sprained his waist in the room: "It's not rainwater, what can thirty yuan do? Don't worry, I'm not a stingy person."

After a while, Xu Damao said, "I only have this much money on me. Take it first. Have a drink of water. When I go to the other room, I will get you another 100 yuan. Take it first for emergency."

Seeing Xu Damao was about to go out, Xu Dacan made a two-finger walking gesture to Yu Li and Xu Yao.

Yu Li gritted her teeth and was very unwilling, but Xu Yao still dragged her away by force.

After the three of them returned to the house, Xu Yao asked her in confusion, "Sister-in-law, you are not a stingy person, are you?"

Yu Li looked aggrieved: "Is it because of money? It's because of Xu Damao!"

As soon as Yu Li finished speaking, Xu Damao pushed the door open and said, "Dacan, Dacan, give me a hundred yuan first."

After he saw who was in the room clearly, he jumped up to Yu Li like a Husky and said, "My dear wife, you are so nice to be here. Go back to the room and give me a hundred yuan!"

Yu Li suppressed her anger and asked, "What do you want so much money for?"

"Borrow someone!" Xu Damao said confidently, "Shazhu's sister is here. Their textile factory has stopped production and they haven't been able to pay wages for four months! Let me tell you, I watched He Yushui grow up. Although I don't get along with that thief Shazhu, I treat his sister like my own."

After Xu Damao finished speaking, he added weakly: "It's this sister who is not very close to both of us..."

Yu Li then chuckled, poked Xu Damao on the head with a finger, and then pulled the confused Xu Damao back to the house to get the money.

Inside the room, as soon as the door was closed, Xu Yao couldn't hold back any longer and burst into laughter.

Xu Dacan was also very happy. Is this what his brother calls a fool having good fortune? That's not right. When his brother gets involved with fur, he is smarter than a monkey!

After a while, Liu Yueru heard a voice coming out: "What are you brothers and sisters laughing at? What's so funny?"

"..."

Xu Dacan had just told Liu Yueru the whole story when Xu Damao came over.

As soon as he arrived, he was beaming with joy: "You are all here, let me tell you, you absolutely cannot imagine what just happened!"

Xu Damao panted and said, "Shazhu's sister actually came to me to borrow money!"

Xu Dacan was the first to be shocked: "What? Why would she ask you to borrow money?"

Xu Damao really enjoyed it, and then he looked at Liu Yueru and Xu Yao eagerly.

Liu Yueru and Xu Yao were having a hard time enduring it, but they had to cooperate with Xu Damao, and for a moment they didn't know what expression to use.

Xu Yao tried to hold on and said, "I heard from Qin Bao that Sha Zhu is working as a cook for someone outside, and he makes quite a bit of money every month."

Xu Damao slapped his thigh and said, "What can I say! He was showing off to me last time, saying that the restaurant he works for now not only pays him 40 yuan a month, but also provides two meals. On the day of salary payment, he will also be given 4 packs of cigarettes and 2 bottles of wine!"

Liu Yueru was no longer calm: "Wow, his salary is higher than mine."

Xu Damao smiled and said, "It's mainly because their leaders are worried that he will run away. This guy is doing well outside now, and many leaders of units like to invite him to cook."

After saying this, even Xu Damao himself couldn't understand it: "Brother, why are we still getting fixed salaries, while people like Sha Zhu who have been through labor reform are living a better life?"

Why else? It’s the fault of the times!

During the critical period when the planned economy was moving towards a market economy, employees of state-owned enterprises were bound by the system.

On the other hand, those idle people in society took bold steps and became the first to try new things.

Just like Sha Zhu, not to mention that he was working as a cook for others, even if he was dealing in scarce goods like Yang Weimin and Zhou Heihu, the police station would often turn a blind eye even if they knew about it.

He has to make a living, doesn't he? If he is not allowed to do anything, he might end up committing crimes again.

Anyway, he has been in jail and has nothing to lose.
