Walking with the Villain, Lou Xiao'e's Alternative Love

After returning home, Lou Xiao'e put down her canvas bag and went to look at the dressing table in the west room.

Xu Damao thought his wife liked the dressing table, so he followed her over.

Lou Xiao'e touched the slightly rustic dressing table. There were two cabinets underneath, made of fine mahogany. The cabinets were carved with exquisite patterns, and the carvings were very delicate. It was obvious that they were all handmade. It seemed that the carpenter put a lot of effort into making them.

Not only that, the periphery of the oval mirror is also made of mahogany, and there are hollow patterns around it, with some yellow peach wood inlaid in the middle. It is especially suitable for girls to use for dressing, but the surface of this mirror has turned yellow.

Overall, the dressing table is not an antique. It is an object from the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China.

Lou Xiao'e signaled Xu Damao and the other man to lift it up and test the weight.

"Wife, this dressing table is so heavy that it's hard for several of us to lift it."

"Don't talk nonsense, I didn't say lift it up."

The two tried to lift it, but it was impossible.

Lou Xiao'e opened the cabinet, tapped on the wooden board inside with her fingers, and understood.

"Da Mao, go buy me a chisel, an axe, and a carving knife. If you can't buy them, find a way to borrow them. But don't tell anyone about the dressing table."

Xu Damao agreed and went out.

Lou Xiao'e changed her clothes, washed her face, and prepared the ingredients for dinner.

She was so anxious that she couldn't do anything else.

Xu Damao, Xu Damao...why haven't you come back yet?

The answer was right in front of us, but why was it so difficult for Xu Damao, such a useless guy, to buy a tool?

Lou Xiao'e was anxiously waiting for Xu Damao in the room, pacing back and forth. Finally, Xu Damao's voice came from outside the door.

"I'm back!" Xu Damao walked into the house carrying tools.

"This thing is not easy to buy. I went to many places to borrow it."

Lou Xiao'e hurriedly took the tools and asked Xu Damao to lock the door before opening the cabinet under the dressing table.

He began to carefully chisel the edge of the cabinet with a chisel in one hand and an axe in the other. As the sawdust fell, the wooden board inside the cabinet became loose.

She picked up the carving knife and drew two circles vigorously.

He put away the tools and pried the board off easily.

Sure enough, I found a secret compartment inside.

There was nothing in the secret compartment except gold bars.

Lou Xiao'e glanced at the stunned Xu Damao and said, "You haven't seen him before, have you?"

"What does this mean, old lady?" Xu Damao asked instead of answering.

"If she had someone she could trust, she wouldn't have hidden the gold bars so deep," Lou Xiao'e speculated.

Xu Damao was still a little confused, "Then why did she give it to us?"

“This means that she trusts you, and in her heart, you are the only one who truly treats her well.

"What should we do with these gold bars? We can't just leave them there, right?" Xu Damao felt uneasy.

"Why are you in such a hurry? It doesn't eat grass or feed, so just leave it there. The most important thing now is not to let others know that we have these gold bars." Lou Xiao'e warned.

Xu Damao nodded. He knew that this matter was of great importance. If someone with ulterior motives knew about it, it would probably cause a lot of trouble.

In the secret compartment, there were 100 large yellow croakers and 200 small yellow croakers.

(A small yellow croaker is a one-liang gold bar, which is 31 grams, while a large yellow croaker is a 10-liang gold bar, which is naturally 310 grams.)

Lou Xiao'e bought a bracelet weighing more than 498 grams just a few days before the time travel. The current price of gold is yuan per gram.

So, whoever wants to calculate how much wealth this is can do so...

The best place to hide the gold bars would be in her space, but Xu Damao didn't know this yet.

Lou Xiao'e was struggling over whether to tell Xu Damao about her two-bedroom, one-living-room apartment.

The two people, each with their own thoughts, just sat there quietly. If you didn't know, you would think they were scared.

"daughter in law."

"Da Mao."

"You speak first."

The two men looked at each other and smiled.

"Da Mao, I'm very happy."

"Wife, you must be happy to see so many gold bars!"

"The gold bars are just the icing on the cake for me. I am here more because of you, because the moment you saw the gold bars, there was no greed in your eyes. This shows that your heart is not what you see on the surface. I believe that you are a person who can stick to the bottom line in the face of major issues." Lou Xiao'e looked at Xu Damao seriously and said.

Xu Damao felt warm in his heart after hearing what Lou Xiao'e said. He gently took Lou Xiao'e's hand and said, "Wife, I am also very happy that you think of me this way. No matter what happens in the future, I will always be with you."

Lou Xiao'e nodded and leaned on Xu Damao's shoulder. The two of them enjoyed the tranquility and happiness.

Outside the window, night is gradually falling, and the darkness seems to hide countless unknowns and challenges...

"Wife, let's both take a day off tomorrow. I want to send the gold bars to your parents' home. As you said, there will be turmoil in the next few years, and your father-in-law and mother-in-law will move far away. Let your father-in-law find a way to sell the gold bars and exchange them for banknotes to take with him. Just in case of emergency. This way we can feel more at ease."

Lou Xiao'e was moved when she heard Xu Damao's words.

"Da Mao, there is something I have been hiding from you.

There are many reasons for concealing the truth. For example, there are too many uncertainties about you and the future. "

"Wife, I know. I know everything. If you don't want to say it, don't say it."

Lou Xiao'e was silent for a moment and decided to tell Xu Damao the secret of the space.

Maybe I've said it once, and it becomes smoother to say it again.

When Lou Xiao'e repeated what she had said to her father, Xu Damao was still stunned even though he was mentally prepared.

Lou Xiao'e looked at him without saying anything, thinking that she should let him digest it for a while.

"Wife, do you want to hide the gold bars in the space you mentioned?"

"Well! I don't think there's any safer place than there.

Of course, I don't want to keep it all to myself. There is no better way to deal with it now, so I can only put it aside for now.

You should pay more attention to the old lady's descendants in the future. If they encounter difficulties, we will help them."

"Okay! I'll listen to you." Xu Damao agreed readily.

The two put the gold bars into the space, and Lou Xiaoe took some fruit from the refrigerator. After doing all this, they felt relieved.

"Now we can rest assured." Xu Damao said while hugging Lou Xiaoe.

Lou Xiao'e also gently responded to his hug, "I hope these gold bars can help us and more people in the future."

"Wife, I'm hungry."

"What's wrong with a grown man going hungry for one or two meals?"

"Don't you feel sorry for me or our silly boy? He will be back soon."

"Okay, cook."

The couple worked together and a sumptuous dinner was soon served.

Otherwise, why do people say that little Zhuang Junwei is blessed with good words? He is so accurate in this.

The three of them finished their dinner chatting and laughing.

"Da Mao, today I applied to the factory leader to accompany your purchasing department to the Northeast, and the leader approved it."

Lou Xiao'e looked at Xu Damao guiltily.

"What can I say about you? The leaders were unsure about this trip to Northeast China, but you still insisted on going with them." Xu Damao said helplessly.

"I went there on a mission. Besides, I'm worried about you being alone outside. I just don't want to be separated from you." Lou Xiao'e's voice became softer and softer.

Xu Damao gave up his objection after a few words from his wife.

Let's go! Otherwise, what should we do...
