Siheyuan: With a system in place, you don’t need to worry in times of famine

Xu Damao's departure was like a stone that caused a thousand waves, causing everyone to talk about it. The previous rumors were confirmed, and there was a hint of gloating in their gloating:

"No one expected that Xu Damao would end up like this."

"His wife and children are separated, and his entire family is ruined. If Xu Damao hadn't been so extravagant in the beginning, maybe he would still be living a good life now."

"This is what they call "you reap what you sow."

"Now that Qin Jingru has also run away, won't Xu Damao really become extinct in the future?"

"If I hadn't divorced, at least I would have a daughter. Now I don't have a wife or children. My future life will definitely not be easy."

When everyone took a break from their busy schedule, the thing they talked about the most was Xu Damao.

As soon as Mr. Xu stepped into the courtyard, he heard these rumors. His expression changed unpredictably, he lowered his head, and did not greet anyone.

Fortunately, he took Xu Damao back to the countryside, otherwise Xu Damao would have felt even more uncomfortable after hearing these words.

"Hey, isn't that Father Xu?"

"What is he doing here again? Did he forget to take something?"

Some people noticed Mr. Xu and started to speculate in a low voice, while others went to say hello. However, Mr. Xu didn't even glance at them. He just curled his lips and continued discussing with others. If you don't want to pay attention to him, then don't pay attention to him. It seems like no one cares.

Hurrying to the backyard, Father Xu knocked directly on Ye Fei's door.

"Ye Fei, I want to discuss something with you."

"come in."

Ye Fei glanced at Xu's father and spoke lightly.

As soon as he entered the house, Mr. Xu was shocked by the things in the house. There was not only a TV, but also a tape recorder, and all thirty-two legs were complete.

He had only seen this kind of scene at his in-laws' house before. Although Ye Fei's house was not a small western-style building, it had everything. It seemed that just as Xu Damao said, Ye Fei had already reached a height that they dared not even imagine.

"Uncle Xu, have some tea."

"Thank you."

Because he had something to ask of Ye Fei, Father Xu was very polite. He took the cup, took a sip, and then slowly said:

"Ye Fei, this is what's going on. Damao will stay with us in our hometown from now on, and no one will live in this house. I want to sell it. Do you think you can help me?"

"If you want to sell your house, you can go to the street office."

"No, I mean we can do a private deal. I want to sell the house to you because I know you are the only one in this courtyard who can afford to buy a house. What do you think?"

Father Xu explained that he wanted to sell the house directly to Ye Fei, firstly because he was familiar with him, and secondly because Ye Fei could take out the money directly, and he needed the money now.

"Uncle Xu, I'm afraid that won't work. I don't have any plans to buy a house for the time being. I'm afraid I really can't help you with this matter."

Ye Fei shook his head and refused directly. His current house was enough, and now was a special period. According to Xu Damao's character, he didn't want to cause himself trouble.

"Ye Fei, just consider it as a favor. We are in urgent need of the money now. If we ask someone else, we will definitely have to wait for a while, but we can't wait any longer..."

Before Xu's father came, he had already thought that Ye Fei might refuse, but he didn't expect that the refusal would be so straightforward, without even a second thought.

"I'm sorry, Uncle Xu, I really can't help you with this. If you really want to sell the house, go to the street office and follow the formal procedures."

Ye Fei did not waver at all, and no matter how much Xu's father persuaded him, he did not change his mind.

To put it bluntly, Xu Damao is now like a lost dog. Such a big thing has happened, who knows if there have been any changes in his psychology.

Father Xu left dejectedly. Sha Zhu came over to look for someone and happened to run into him. He greeted him, but got no response:

"Ye Fei, what does he want to see you about?"

"Nothing, it's just that the whole family returned to the countryside, and no one lives in the house here. They wanted to sell the house to me, but I didn't agree."

"Selling a house? Whatever price he offers, if it's suitable, I can buy it."

Sha Zhu said with a big heart that when the child grows up, this room will not be enough for them, and they will have to prepare another room for the child sooner or later.

"Aren't you afraid that he will set a trap for you?"

"That's right. I thought the kids would need two rooms when they grow up. They're both in the courtyard, so it's quite convenient."

After hearing this, Sha Zhu hurriedly explained, but as Ye Fei said, he didn't trust Xu Damao's character. What if he really set a trap for him, wouldn't he lose a lot?

“Wasn’t the house still there before the rain?

When the child grows up, we can just move in there."

Ye Fei said casually. If it were someone else, he would definitely not give in so readily.

But Zhao Ying has been helping them take care of the children, and Sha Zhu is responsible for their three meals a day. Such a down-to-earth person, he must do something. The most important thing is that he has no shortage of money or house.

"How can I live there? When the time comes, we'll just pay the price." Upon hearing this, Sha Zhu felt that the house before the rain was more suitable. Although they had feelings for each other, they still had to settle accounts with each other. He would definitely not take advantage of Ye Fei and the others for nothing.

Because of Ye Fei, his work has been taken to a higher level, and he also earns a lot more money than before.

If Ye Fei hadn't existed, he would probably still be the cook with a fixed salary. So, it is said that it is impossible to calculate so clearly between people.

"What do you want to eat for lunch today? I'll go cook for you."

Sha Zhu thought about the purpose of his visit and asked.

"We will eat whatever you cook. Do you have any vegetables left at home? I will go shopping tomorrow. If you see anything you need to buy, make a list for me and I will buy it directly when the time comes."

"There's nothing to buy. The food at home can last for a few days. Let's wait a little longer."

Sha Zhu thought about it and decided that the cellar could be used again. All the vegetables bought at home were stored there and could indeed be eaten for a few days.

"Okay then, just tell me if you need anything."

……

After leaving the courtyard, Xu's father looked much older. He originally wanted to take a shortcut and sell the house to Ye Fei, then take the money and go back to the countryside and never come back. However, Ye Fei's refusal was too firm and there was no room for turning back.

With a long sigh, Xu's father went to the street office. The house had to be sold. Since speculation was not allowed, he would just have to proceed step by step. The less money, the less money. The longer he had to wait, the longer he had to wait.

After completing the formalities at the street office, Xu's father left. When he reached the city gate, he looked back. Perhaps he would never come here again.
