Siheyuan: Start as a truck driver

Lou Bancheng was breathing heavily, and his hand pointing at Lou Xiao'e was shaking.

When facing Wang Weidong, he could scold him no matter how harsh the words were.

But when it came to Lou Xiao'e, after holding it in for a long time, he just scolded her for being a traitor, then nothing more happened, and he sat down angrily.

After all, Lou Xiao'e was born to him, so scolding her is tantamount to scolding himself.

But Lou Xiao'e had a winner's smile on her face.

Since Lou Bancheng has stopped making any noise, Wang Weidong and Lou Xiao'e will naturally not leave.

Seeing the strong smell of gunpowder in the living room, Mr. Lou Tan felt distressed in his heart.

She knew that both father and daughter were born in the year of donkey, and no one would give in.

Moreover, looking at the way her daughter's eyebrows are now blooming, Lou Tan knows that the Chinese cabbage has been eaten by the pig.

Can you still sell raw rice to cooked rice (Note 1)?

And there is only such a precious girl, how can I really drive her away?

We still have to find a way to get Lou Bancheng to accept this truck driver.

"You two, just go home. Why don't you bring any gifts?"

Thinking like this, Lou Tan's eyes fell on the gift box that Lou Xiao'e was carrying, as if he had just seen it, and he deliberately shouted loudly.

Before Wang Weidong could say anything, Lou Bancheng turned cold and said disdainfully: "The only good thing a truck driver can afford is probably the Juqingzhai snack box."

"The snacks are not bad either. This is the wish of the two children, no matter how valuable or frivolous it is." As Lou Tan spoke, he took the gift box from Lou Xiao'e's hand.

"Ouch, why is it so heavy? It doesn't look like a snack!"

When Lou Tan saw Lou Xiao'e's eyes full of smiles, he immediately understood that the girl was bringing expensive gifts.

She deliberately placed the gift box on the round table in front of Lou Bancheng and untied the cowhide rope.

Two bottles of Maotai and two Baihuayan appeared in front of me.

Although these things cannot enter Lou Tan's eyes.

But considering that Wang Weidong is just a driver in a steel rolling mill, he only earns around 40 yuan a month.

These gifts alone have already used up a quarter of my salary.

He is really willing to give up. It seems that this guy really values ​​the moth.

Lou Tan turned around and glanced at Lou Bancheng, who seemed to be unconcerned but was eavesdropping with his ears open.

"Weidong, this Moutai costs a lot of money. You two just got married. You should save more money. When you have children in the future, money will be needed everywhere. The old man doesn't drink. Why don't you take it?

Retreat!"

"There's no way to return this. I bought everything. It's good to keep it to greet guests."

"Okay, I'll take it then! Mother Wu, take this in!"

After handing the things to Wu Ma, Lou Tan ignored Lou Bancheng, who was still cold-faced, and looked at Wang Weidong and Lou Xiao'e, asking: "Have you two eaten?"

Seeing that his wife left the two of them to eat, Lou Bancheng snorted coldly, but pursed his lips and did not say anything to stop her.

Lou Xiao'e deliberately glared at Lou Bancheng and said with a smile: "Not yet."

"Then I'll ask Mother Wu to get you something to eat. It's so late and I don't know how to go eat something first," Lou Tan said.

"Something's delayed."

Lou Xiao'e then told Lou Tan about what happened tonight.

Wang Weidong, on the other hand, leaned into Lou Xiao'e's ear and said a few words before walking towards Lou Bancheng.

Seeing Wang Weidong sitting down opposite, Lou Bancheng snorted again.

His dislike for Wang Weidong from the bottom of his heart was not because of his work, but because of his background.

Several generations ago, Wang Weidong came from a poor family, and he himself was a veteran. This background was considered a good thing in this era.

It was precisely this red seedling that made Lou Bancheng feel unsure.

But Xu Damao was different. Although he was also a farmhand, he was cunning and lustful.

As long as people have desires, they will also have weaknesses. This is what Lou Bancheng has learned from his many years of business experience.

Lou Bancheng was confident that he could handle Xu Damao, but from the first moment he saw Wang Weidong, he knew that this person was not easy to deal with.

Although there is always a smile on his face, he never reveals what is on his mind to others.

Moreover, Wang Weidong is too upright, and the recent situation gave Lou Bancheng a bad feeling.

If he wanted to protect himself, he would probably have to run away to Xiangjiang, and he couldn't let go of his family property in the capital.

That was a family fortune accumulated over several generations. Even though he had already donated most of it, he still had a considerable amount left on hand.

This has to be handed over to Wang Weidong, and he may contribute it at some point.

But Xu Damao is different. He is greedy and will never spit out the fat in his mouth.

....

Wang Weidong didn't seem to notice the disgusted look on Lou Bancheng's face, knocked on the table, and said to himself: "Father-in-law, when I was wandering around Liuli Bridge today, I met an old man.

The moth told me that it was Uncle Huang, the old housekeeper of the Lou family, who worked hard for the Lou family for decades, and did not retire home until the beginning of this year."

When Wang Weidong mentioned the old housekeeper of the Lou family, Lou Bancheng's face changed slightly, but he still maintained a calm look, as if he didn't care at all what Wang Weidong said.

Wang Weidong had been secretly observing Lou Bancheng. When he saw Lou Bancheng's eyes flashing, he suddenly felt happy.

It seems that my guess was really right. Lou Bancheng, a cunning businessman, secretly handed over most of his property to the loyal butler.

Wang Weidong continued to mind his own business and said: "Then guess what I saw?

The old housekeeper seemed to be carrying something heavy in his pocket.

Our truck driver's eyesight is always very good, and I immediately saw the golden light coming from the gap in his pocket.

I didn’t expect that the old butler was really good enough to save such a huge sum of money without saying anything.”

Hearing this, Lou Bancheng could no longer remain calm.

He didn't know if Wang Weidong had really met the old housekeeper.

But it is basically certain that Wang Weidong must have known some secrets.

He stood up with a gloomy face and said, "Follow me to the study!"

"good!"

Watching the two of them go up to the study room on the second floor one after another.

Lou Xiao'e, who was talking to Lou Tan, felt a flash of joy in her heart, thinking that this was a signal for Lou Bancheng to accept Wang Weidong.

Little did he know that it was his husband who took advantage of his father and wanted to force him to bow his head.

Lou Bancheng looked down on Wang Weidong, so why did Wang Weidong look down on Lou Bancheng?

With his small net worth, Wang Weidong didn't take him seriously at all.

It's all for stupid people.

....

After entering the study room and carefully closing the door, Lou Bancheng did not ask questions first, but took out a pack of tea leaves wrapped in newspapers from the grid of the bookcase, and then took out two celadon tea cups.

Pick up the boiling water bottle and pour the hot water. The green tea leaves spiral up in the celadon cup, and the tender green branches and leaves stretch out. It is really beautiful.

The air is filled with a faint fragrance, which is refreshing.

While making tea, he observed Wang Weidong with his peripheral vision.

I saw Wang Weidong sitting comfortably on the mahogany sofa, crossing his legs and humming a tune, not at all restrained.

How could such a vulgar worker discover the secrets of half of my city?

Lou Bancheng placed the tea cup on the rosewood tea table with an arrogant expression.

"This is Yuqian Longjing. Before liberation, only princes and nobles could afford to drink it. Now it is extremely rare in the capital. I still ask someone to drink it..."

"Isn't it just tea? Just quench your thirst!" Wang Weidong didn't wait for Lou Bancheng to finish speaking, he picked up the tea cup and drank it all in one gulp.

Then he smacked his tongue and said "tsk tsk" twice.

He put down the tea cup and said with a smile: "I say, Lao Lou, your tea tastes good and is considered to be the best, but it doesn't taste high and comfortable to drink!"

"Boy, this is because you don't understand tea. High broken tea is the powdered tea leaves sifted out when tea shops are sifting. It is also called labor protection tea. It is drunk by the workers who work hard. How can it be compared with Longjing before the rain?

I'm Lou Bancheng..." Lou Bancheng was mid-sentence, his heart skipped a beat, he realized there was something in Wang Weidong's words, and he immediately swallowed his words.

"Although Longjing is good before the rain, it can't withstand a strong wind. It's still safe to drink high." Wang Weidong held his hands in his arms, narrowed his eyes, and seemed to be smiling.

Lou Bancheng's face darkened when he heard this, and he cast a surprised look at Wang Weidong.

What is about to happen is that he and a few old brothers analyzed the current situation for more than two years before analyzing possible changes in the situation.

Even Director Yang of the steel rolling mill didn't hear anything about it. How could a small worker know this?

Is the strong wind going to blow soon?

Wang Weidong looked calm and could not see any clues. Lou Bancheng, who was feeling guilty, could only think on the bright side and attributed Wang Weidong's words to nonsense.

The greatest skill of these truck drivers is to brag and say some pretensely profound things to improve their own status.

Yes, that must be the case!

Lou Bancheng thought this and his mood calmed down again.

Wang Weidong pretended to be careless and turned around to observe the decorations in the study. In fact, he had been stealing glances at Lou Bancheng.

After Lou Bancheng heard that the wind was coming, he didn't react at all and his expression didn't change.

Was he prepared, or was he really blinded by the mists of the times?

In fact, Wang Weidong would not stop Lou Bancheng from committing suicide, but if he wanted to drag Lou Xiao'e along, that would definitely not work.

It is better to speak more clearly, lest Lou Bancheng really think that his little actions can be hidden from others.

Wang Weidong made up his mind.

At this time, Lou Bancheng also gathered his thoughts and looked at Wang Weidong with a smile, "Uncle Huang is my old housekeeper. I have long suspected that his hands and feet are dirty. I just miss the friendship for many years, and he is already very old."

, I didn’t report him to the official, I just fired him.”

This kind of rhetoric is reasonable and reasonable, and it also shows Lou Bancheng's generosity. If it were others, he would have been deceived, but Wang Weidong is a person with God's perspective.

He said with a naive smile: "That's because I'm troublesome, but I saw that the package was so full that Uncle Huang could hardly lift it. There must be a lot of small yellow croakers in it. With so much money, you don't even have it?"

From my perspective, it’s really grand.”

It was also a coincidence that when he was investigating Lou Bancheng, he accidentally learned of the existence of the old housekeeper.

I originally wanted to know something about Lou Bancheng through the old butler, but I didn't want to happen to see the old butler inspecting those little yellow croakers.

After all, the old housekeeper is old and has a habit of being suspicious. He is afraid of losing those little yellow croakers, so he will take them out to check them every once in a while.

Wang Weidong was indeed lucky to have caught up with this timing.

A person who has worked as a long-term worker for decades will never be able to save so many small yellow croakers.

Either he did something shameful.

Or, someone gave these things to him for safekeeping.

If it was the old housekeeper's own, he would have taken these little yellow croakers back to the countryside long ago, and how could they stay in the capital.

Then there is only one possibility left.

The last time he came here, Wang Weidong intentionally mentioned Lou Bancheng, but he didn't expect him to react at all.

Of course, Wang Weidong had already targeted Lou Bancheng in order to prevent him from noticing.

I changed the time and place where I met Uncle Huang.

...

Wang Weidong saw that Lou Bancheng had no reaction and continued: "We are a family. Of course I believe what you say, but if Uncle Huang is discovered by Director Han and others, what do you think Director Han will do?"

When Lou Bancheng heard Wang Weidong's words, his heart thumped and sweat broke out on his forehead.

He knew the power of the public security department very well. Several old brothers had fallen into trouble accidentally in the past.

Those little yellow croakers were his back-up.

If he really has to leave, these little yellow croakers will be his lifeblood after arriving in Xiangjiang.

And as a big capitalist, the origin of those little yellow croakers is very problematic.

The original delivery of food to the organization was just Lou Bancheng's investment as a businessman.

If you really want to dedicate yourself to the organization, you won't just give away that little food.

The famous Lou Bancheng only has that little net worth? Who believes it!

Fortunately, Lou Bancheng disguised himself well and was good at dancing, so he was able to hide it from the eyes of interested people.

Unexpectedly, something went wrong with Uncle Huang.

Of course, Director Han and the others may not discover Uncle Huang, but Wang Weidong is likely to report it!

No...he will definitely report it!

Lou Bancheng has now clearly recognized Wang Weidong's true face.

This boy, who is full of righteousness, actually has a bit of evil in his heart.

Lou Bancheng became nervous.

If the wind picks up, he might die, but if this thing is going to come out, he has to finish it now.

Seeing Lou Bancheng sweating like rain, Wang Weidong knew that his goal had been achieved.

But this is not enough. In order to prevent this cheap father-in-law from causing trouble again, Wang Weidong must make him willingly accept his son-in-law.

"By the way, father-in-law, there is something else that you may not know."
