Scholars in the courtyard

Back in the courtyard, Yang Xiaotao went straight home and started cooking.

After a while, the aroma rose, and the smell of braised pork spread throughout the courtyard.

Only this time, no one was envious, only cold eyes and mocking faces.

In the Jia family, Jia Dongxu told what happened when he came back.

Jia Zhang jumped up immediately, her face full of excitement.

As for Yang Xiaotao's defeat, she was willing to do it even if it meant hooking up with herself.

What's more, she didn't feel any psychological burden at all when she did something that could ruin his marriage just by talking.

"Mom, if you talk in this alley tomorrow, you can't let this kid do it."

Jia Dongxu drank the porridge, and his voice crackled a little. Jia Zhang nodded, "Don't worry, there will definitely be no problem with Mom's work."

Jia Zhang was happy and looked at Qin Huairu.

"Daughter-in-law, you and Mom will tell you all about the hardships you suffered in the Yang family, and finally see through the bad guy Yang Xiaotao."

"Also, you must say that our Jia family rescued you and gave you a happy life."

Qin Huairu nodded and raised the corners of her mouth. Let's not talk about her life, Yang Xiaotao must not have a good life.

Otherwise, wouldn’t it mean that I have no vision?

This has already happened, even if you regret it, you have to live with it.

"This boy is so discerning. I asked around and found out that he is the daughter of Lou Bancheng of the steel rolling mill. If I marry him, I will have enough food and clothing even if I don't work for the rest of my life."

Jia Dongxu felt a little envious, especially compared to his wife, she was like a princess and a country girl.

He glanced at Qin Huairu. The charming figure made him feel hot all over. If the body wasn't so charming, he would definitely regret it.

At the uncle's house, Yi Zhonghai told his aunt, "If anyone comes to ask about Yang Xiaotao's situation, just say..."

The aunt nodded solemnly.

Silly Zhu was sitting on a stool leaning against the wall, with his left leg resting on the stool. His left hand kept patting his knee, and his greasy trousers were polished.

He picked up the wine cup with his right hand, drank it all in one gulp, and then closed his eyes and hummed in his mouth.

"I only hate Lu Zhiqiu in my heart. He should not use his power to oppress the villagers."

"I only hate Lu Zhiqiu in my heart, so I told Gui Ying'er to open the firewood door quickly."

Look at ease.

Now he has started to cook small dishes for the boss, and can also bring back the leftover dishes.

It's just not as good as the above-board lunch boxes.

I just took some peanuts out, went home and drank behind closed doors.

However, he was really happy today.

Picking up the wine bottle and filling it up with the loose wine brought from the street, Silly Zhu looked out the door and curled his lips in disdain.

"You, Yang Xiaotao, are the only ones who still want to marry a wife?"

"Don't dream. Hmph!"

…

In the backyard, Xu Damao came to Liu Haizhong's house carrying two bottles of wine.

Thinking of Father Xu's explanation, I wondered if I could get the two bottles of wine.

Liu Haizhong is not Yan Fugui. His family's living conditions are not bad, so he may not notice this.

However, if we talk about who hates Yang Xiaotao, there are really a lot of people in this courtyard.

But to say that the person who wants the most misfortune for Yang Xiaotao is definitely his second uncle.

"Second uncle, you are eating!"

When he opened the door, he saw Liu Haizhong and Liu Guangqi sitting at the table, guarding a plate of fried eggs and leeks. Next to them, Liu Guangtian and his two brothers were holding steamed buns and staring at the leeks and eggs.

"Da Mao is here, sit down!"

Liu Haizhong watched Xu Damao come in and immediately greeted him.

"Second uncle, it's time to drink."

He and Liu Guangqi nodded.

"Why don't you get two bottles of good wine and have a sip with the second uncle!"

With that said, Xu Damao opened the wine bottle, and the three of them drank on the table.

It wasn't until midnight that I walked home drunk and lay on the bed, talking nonsense and smiling all over my face.

In the Lou family, Lou Xiao'e has fallen asleep, with a sweet look on her face.

In the study room, Lou Jingtang and Lou's mother looked solemn.

In front of them was a piece of information, a piece of Yang Xiaotao's investigation information.

At this moment, Lou Jingtang looked at the evaluation on the last page, and anger immediately climbed onto his cheeks.

"Asshole!"

"Do you really think my Lou family is easy to bully? All cats and dogs want to take advantage of you?"

Lou's mother also lowered her head and couldn't believe it, but she had to believe it.

Who would have thought that the people in the street office could be so unreliable.

If it is true as written above, if your daughter marries someone else, wouldn't that mean you are falling into a pit of fire and harming your daughter?

When the time comes, their Lou family will be there.

But thinking about the situation in my own family, it seems that it makes sense to do so. After all, they have always had this attitude towards their enemies.

At this moment, Lou's mother had many images of the Lou family suppressing and bullying them in her mind, with a look of horror on her face.

"Master, do you think it was arranged by someone above?"

As soon as the words came out, his knuckles were clenched so hard that they turned white.

After Lou Jingtang heard this, he immediately fell silent, and the whole study became weird.

The Lou family was considered a well-established family in the Forty-Nine City, but after the peaceful liberation, in order to gain a foothold in New China, Lou Jingtang handed over his property and gained the favor of his superiors.

For this reason, he deliberately kept a low profile.

But in the past few years, this low-key has not worked, and it still cannot change the fact that they are big capitalists.

Now he is still the manager of the steel rolling mill. Although he does not do anything, people who care about him still remember him in their hearts.

"Will not!"

After thinking about it for a moment, coupled with the fact that the recent movements among old friends without any news from me, he made a decision in his mind.

"It must be a misunderstanding. The street office is too low-level to take action. If the higher-ups don't nod, they won't dare to touch us."

"There is another possibility that Yang Xiaotao has hidden himself too deeply and deceived the street office!"

Lou Jingtang expressed his judgment, and Lou's mother looked good, "I think it should be the latter."

"Um!"

"Then I'll go tell Xiao'e. This girl is a little obsessed now. She hasn't even eaten dinner."

Lou's mother was about to leave to talk to her daughter.

"Don't be impatient yet!"

Lou Jingtang called out, and after a moment of silence, he said, "I'll let Xiao Wu go take a look tomorrow!"

Lou's mother nodded, then walked to Lou Jingtang, pinched his shoulders, "Master, do you want Xiao'e's marriage to wait any longer?"

Lou Jingtang sighed, "You think I'm not willing to wait."

"You're so anxious to get married. It's also to keep her away from this whirlpool!"

"I, Lou Jingtang, only have one daughter. I am willing to give up all the others. Only Xiao'e cannot suffer the consequences!"

"For her, we can only find a good family as soon as possible!"

After hearing this, Lou's mother wept secretly.

In the past, she hoped that her daughter would marry a wealthy family and have enough food and clothing for the rest of her life.

But now, she just wants her daughter to marry an ordinary person and live in peace for the rest of her life.

In the following days, Yang Xiaotao cleaned up his house, smiled when he went to work, and bought things after get off work.

The candies and melon seeds for the wedding were all prepared, and Yang Xiaotao didn't hide them when he had the tickets. He bought several bottles of Xifeng wine, Maotai wine, whatever the tickets could buy, and he also chose mid-range and above cigarettes, until he ran out of money. Stop consuming, and then exchange items, whatever is useful.

Then wait for Saturday to come.

Yang Xiaotao came to the factory that day and worked attentively at the workstation.

Although several workers around him looked at him a little strangely, and the hesitant look on his face made him think it was something embarrassing, so he didn't ask.

It wasn't until after get off work that Wang Fa and Che Wenwei came over and started talking about the recent rumors in the workshop.

"Xiao Tao, haven't you heard anything lately?"

Yang Xiaotao was stunned. He had been busy preparing for his own big event recently. Although he had not reached the stage of getting married, he had already made a good start. And he felt that with his status, the current situation should not be a problem.

The Lou family can become a big businessman, I don’t believe they have no vision.

Therefore, he really didn't care about things in the factory.

"Brother Wang, what do you think is going on? I recently went on a blind date with a girl and didn't lean into her."

Wang Fa and Che Wenwei looked at each other, and then recounted the news that had circulated in the factory in the past two days.

Yang Xiaotao didn't feel anything at first. After all, this wasn't the first time this happened.

After Jia Dongxu made a scene at his wedding last time, the beasts in the courtyard tried to ruin his reputation in the factory.

Fortunately, he was quite popular in the workshop, so those rumors spread for a while and no one bothered him again.

But now, especially in his critical period, this kind of thing seems to be coming to him.

Yang Xiaotao began to look at him seriously, his expression becoming more serious.

"Brother Wang, please help me find out who is talking behind the scenes."

Wang Fa nodded, and the two of them just came to remind Yang Xiaotao, because they knew that Yang Xiaotao was not what he was rumored to be.

After the two left, Yang Xiaotao still felt uneasy, so he went to look for Zhou Peng.

"There are some things that you can't just sit back and wait for."

Yang Xiaotao found Zhou Peng and told him what happened in the factory. Zhou Peng had been anxious these past two days. He had also heard rumors, but Yang Xiaotao had no one after get off work these days, and he didn't find time to say anything.

I was thinking about going to the courtyard after get off work today to talk about the matter.

It happened that Yang Xiaotao came to find him.

Yang Xiaotao had already figured out what to do when he came. Now that the rumors have spread, he can't suppress them.

Since it can't be contained, then add more fire and make the matter bigger. As long as the trouble becomes big enough to be known to everyone and the higher authorities have to step in, then move it into the sunshine and let all kinds of monsters and monsters come out to see you. When you see the light, you will naturally have an explanation.

"Xiaopeng, you have been in the factory these two days..."

Yang Xiaotao gave Zhou Peng a few words, and Zhou Peng narrowed his eyes and nodded in agreement.

Things were arranged properly here, but Yang Xiaotao still felt uneasy, thinking about what happened with Lou Xiao'e, and felt in a daze for no reason.

"I need to talk about this."

Yang Xiaotao quickened his pace and walked towards Lou's house.

At the same time, outside the alley, Xu's father walked out with a middle-aged man holding a bicycle, laughing constantly.

"Old Ma, if you have to make a trip to do this, it's really killing a chicken with a knife."

Xu's father said, putting a box of freshly opened large front doors into the man's hands.

"Brother Xu, what are you doing?"

"There's no need for my relationship with Sister Xu. It's useless."

The man held the big front door and smiled after looking at it. This cigarette has a filter tip and you need a cigarette ticket to buy it, and a pack of cigarettes is not cheap.

Although the words were unnecessary, the movements of Lao Ma's hands were not slow.

"One code equals another. If you, Sister Xu, are here, it won't delay our friendship."

Father Xu said loudly, and the two of them smiled again.

"Okay, then I'm welcome."

The man put away his cigarette. Father Xu looked around, and then whispered, "This fifth brother is too careful. You have to come over for such a trivial matter. If you had known, I would have said something."

"Who says it's not the case? For such a bastard, I would have just thrown a sack into the West Sea before."

The man also said impatiently. He came today to inquire about the news. He was reluctant to do so. Fortunately, he had an acquaintance, which saved him a lot of trouble.

"Brother, this is a new society, so be careful."

After hearing this, the man looked around and found no one else, then he smiled sadly.

"Brother Xu, I'm going back."

"Okay, come here more often and let us drink more."

"Hey, that's good."

Watching the man ride away, the smile on Xu's father's face gradually dissipated.

"No one can take it away from my Xu family."
