Siheyuan: Cao Liang's rise

The next day.

Cao Liang went to the steel mill, punched in, and turned around and left.

After a while, he came to Old Man Fu's house.

Old Man Fu’s house is right on the roadside, and there is only his small yard around it.

There are two houses inside.

The area is surrounded by a fence.

As soon as Cao Liang arrived, he saw Old Man Fu pushing a tricycle and about to go out. It seemed that he was going to collect junk.

He looked up and saw Cao Liang, frowned and asked, "Who are you looking for?"

"Hello, Mr. Fu. I heard that you are an expert in that field. I have a few old items here and I would like you to take a look at them."

Cao Liang explained his purpose.

Old Man Fu raised his eyebrows, "Who told you that?"

Cao Liang replied: "The Tiger Lord from the black market."

"Oh."

Old man Fu just said "oh" and didn't say anything else.

When Chi Hu invited him to appraise treasures, he almost got angry to death.

That guy collected a lot of things, but not a single one was authentic.

What's even more outrageous is that the guy actually planned to recruit him to join and help him identify treasures.

That would have been fine, but they also told him to leave the city.

He has lived in Beijing for most of his life. Not to mention his treatment, his house and family are here. How could he possibly leave?

Old Man Fu didn't even look at Cao Liang. After pushing the tricycle out, he closed the door and left without looking back.

Cao Liang was completely confused.

Is this old man so difficult to talk to?

He didn't say right away that he wanted to be his disciple and learn how to appraise treasures from him?

Could it be that my senior brother has offended someone?

Otherwise, why would there be such an attitude?

You know, you have to pay to appraise treasures. It shouldn't be the case that Old Man Fu doesn't even make any money, right?

It seems that Xiaowu was right, Old Man Fu is very difficult to deal with.

There was no other choice, so Cao Liang had to go to the home of Old Man Fu’s daughter.

When I first arrived, I saw a few people standing at the door looking in.

There were noisy sounds in the house.

Cao Liang walked towards an old lady and asked with a smile, "Auntie, what happened?"

The old lady turned around and glanced at Cao Liang. "You are not from here, right? You look a little unfamiliar."

"I came to look for my cousin and was just passing by out of curiosity."

Cao Liang took out a few candies and handed them to the auntie, "Auntie, take these back and give them to your grandchildren to sweeten their mouths."

"Oh, what a generous young man."

The aunt happily accepted the candy and became enthusiastic, explaining: "There is a widow living here. I heard that her husband just passed away not long ago. She lives alone with her two children in this old house. She is so pitiful."

Cao Liang asked in confusion: "Doesn't she have a job?"

"Yes, she took her husband's place, so she shouldn't have to move into this old house. The problem is that it's her husband's family's."

The aunt whispered, "Did you hear the man's voice inside?"

Cao Liang nodded.

The aunt continued, "That's her husband's brother, and he came to her to ask for a job."

Cao Liang said: "Logically speaking, it is only right for her to take over her husband's position, right?"

Just like Jia Dongxu, even though Jia Zhang always threatened Qin Huairu to give her job back and send her back to the countryside.

She just bullied Qin Huairu because she didn't understand.

Normally speaking, although Jia Zhang is Jia Dongxu's mother, Qin Huairu is Jia Dongxu's first heir.

If Qin Huairu doesn't want it, it will be Jia Zhang's turn.

Therefore, it is perfectly legitimate for Old Man Fu's daughter to inherit her husband's position.

It’s not her man’s brother’s turn to snatch it.

"Who says it isn't?"

The aunt said indignantly: "I heard that family is really nasty. Not only did they kick her out of her original house, but now they are even trying to take her job away. If she loses her job, how can she support her two children?"

Bang~

Suddenly there was a sound of something being smashed inside, and Cao Liang looked over immediately.

A woman came out holding a child.

A menacing young man followed behind.

A little boy of seven or eight years old saw this and hurriedly stood in front of the woman to protect her, "Second Uncle, you are not allowed to bully my mother."

"Get lost."

The young man glared at the little boy and said to the woman, "Fu Xiaoli, if you know what's best for you, give my job back to me, or I'll come and make trouble every day."

"His second uncle, I can't give you the job. I still have to support Xiaohu and Erya."

The woman shook her head and refused without hesitation.

The house is given to you, but the job cannot be given away no matter what.

Hearing this, the young man angrily said, "That's my brother's job, it belongs to our family. Why do you, an outsider, want it?"

Fu Xiaoli's eyes welled up when she heard that.

She has been married to the Liu family for eight years. She works hard and does all the dirty and tiring work at home, serving the family with great effort.

Now that her man has just left, she has become an outsider?

But for the sake of her two children, she absolutely could not give up her job.

The man in front of her was called Liu Dajiang, the younger brother of her husband Liu Dahai.

This is not the first time I've come here because of a job quota.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Liu Dajiang was already a little impatient. He yelled, "Are you going to give my job back to me?"

Fu Xiaoli shook her head stubbornly.

"What the hell..."

Liu Dajiang was so angry that he raised his hand to hit someone.

Seeing this, Fu Xiaoli closed her eyes in fear.

But after waiting for a while, she felt no pain. When she opened her eyes, she saw a tall figure blocking her way.

A big hand grabbed Liu Dajiang's hand.

It was Cao Liang who couldn't stand it anymore and took action.

Seeing this, Liu Dajiang angrily said, "Who are you? Stop meddling in other people's business."

Cao Liang smiled and said, "It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is that I have asked people to call the police and the Women's Federation. If you make trouble again, you will probably be put in jail."

"You...don't scare me. I'm not afraid of threats."

Liu Dajiang's face turned pale with panic, as he was not in the right in this matter.

He came here to make trouble because he was sure that Fu Xiaoli would not dare to resist.

If the matter gets out of hand, he won't get any good results.

Cao Liang waved his hand and pushed Liu Dajiang aside.

Liu Dajiang was shocked and thought to himself: This boy is so strong.

"This is not over yet."

After leaving a harsh word, Liu Dajiang ran away.

Cao Liang turned around and asked, "Are you okay?"

"It's alright, thank you comrade."

"Thank you uncle."

Fu Xiaoli and the little boy thanked them.

Cao Liang asked, "I've heard about what happened. It's legitimate for you to inherit your husband's job. If that person makes trouble again, you can report it directly to the police or the Women's Federation. They will make the decision for you."

Fu Xiaoli nodded slightly, but from her expression, you could tell that she didn't want to do that.

Originally, Cao Liang wanted to talk about the issue of becoming a disciple, but looking at the current situation, it is not a good idea to talk about this.

So he said goodbye and left.

He asked around and found out that Fu Xiaoli's husband worked in a machine repair factory.

And Cao Liang happened to know the director of the machine repair factory.

I met him through Li Huaide, and the other party owed him a favor.

Thinking of this, Cao Liang went to the machine repair shop.
