Siheyuan: The Final Winner

After taking a shower.

Jiang Pingan got dressed and was about to go out to Xu Damao's house.

He Yushui came over with a coat, put it on him, and thoughtfully said:

"It's getting cold now, so be careful and drink as little as you can at night."

Jiang Pingan looked at her clear eyes, smiled slightly, and said:

"It's just a few steps away, and I'm eating and drinking in the house, so there's no need."

He Yushui glared at him, and said softly while arranging his clothes:

"Come on, Xu Damao's house doesn't have a kang, and it's cold in the room at night!"

"It's easy to wear this coat. If the drink gets hot, you can take it off."

"Don't think I'm nagging, it's for your own good, how uncomfortable it is to catch a cold!"

Jiang Ping'an stretched out his arms around her waist and pressed her cheek to her cheek, and said with a smile:

"You're just nagging. I don't talk about you, but you talk about me first."

He Yushui blushed slightly, and whispered, "Get out of the way, I was cleaning just now, and I sweated a little."

"Also, since you went to Xu Damao's house for dinner, I'll go home and cook."

"Before I leave, I will warm the hot water for you. When I come back at night, I will warm my feet by myself before resting."

"Oh, don't use your hands and feet, it's not enough to bully me every day... um..."

...

Xu Damao's house.

After Xu Ningan went to buy wine and came back, before Jiang Ping'an came, he asked Xu Damao:

"Da Mao, I haven't asked you during the day."

"Tell me honestly, did you do something to offend Xiao'e?"

Xu Damao lay weakly on the table, randomly grabbed a few peanuts and threw them into his mouth, hesitatingly said:

"If I have to feel sorry for her for something, it's probably like a widow in the country..."

"But only Jiang Ping'an knows about this. Dad, do you think he said something bad about me?"

Xu Ningan glared at him, shook his head and said, "Do you think Ping An likes to tell tales just like you?"

The old couple of Xu Damao had known about Xu Damao's misbehavior in the countryside.

What kind of person their son is, can they not know?

I also tried my best to persuade him not to mess around outside, but it was useless.

After talking too much, Xu Damao became impatient with them and didn't go home to see them for a long time.

The couple only have one son and one daughter, and the daughter will always marry off in the future, so they can only rely on the son.

So even if they knew that Xu Damao had a bad style, they could only choose to forgive.

Even after Lou Xiaoe entered the house, Xu Damao still went his own way and they could only help cover it.

Otherwise, how could Xu Damao's private money be safely hidden in his hometown?

Tan Yali, who was cooking in the kitchen, also came out and said:

"Your father is right. Ping An is in the yard, and he is notoriously tight-lipped."

"You can't blame others for everything, you have to find the reason from yourself."

After speaking, he turned and went back to cook.

Xu Damao sighed and said, "After all, Lou Guangcheng still looks down on me."

"I've gone over and over about this matter, and I've calculated it carefully. It should be that old thing who messed it up."

"Before, Xiao'e and I got along well. We even had children, and life is getting better and better."

"Without Lou Guangcheng, even if Xiao'e wants to divorce me, it's impossible for her to have nothing."

Xu Ning'an frowned, and pondered: "Speaking of which, when Xiao'e gave birth, she was in the hospital for a few days."

"Your mother and I feel that there is something wrong with Lou Guangcheng and his wife, and they are obviously alienated from you."

"We saw it in our eyes and were anxious in our hearts. We couldn't figure out why Lou Guangcheng didn't like you."

"If you really don't like it, why did you agree to your marriage with Xiao'e?"

Xu Damao shook his head and said, "I don't really understand, I am very respectful in front of him."

"But he often told Xiao'e in private that the small peasant consciousness in me is too strong to make a climate."

"To put it bluntly, it's not that I dislike my family background being inferior to the Lou family, and I dislike my worthlessness..."

"But they don't even think about it. If I want a good family background, won't I marry a good family background? Do I have to marry Xiao'e?"

Xu Ning'an sighed and said, "You're right too!"

"Back when we tried every means to get you to marry Xiao'e, didn't we want to use the Lou family to make you develop better?"

"But things didn't work out as expected. The Lou family was able to calm down. They just didn't help you at all these years."

"So, it's better to ask yourself than to ask others. You should stop swaying around in the future, and you should take care of yourself."

At this time Tan Yali came out again and asked Xu Damao: "I heard someone in the courtyard say.

"You asked Ping An to help you with this salary upgrade, why didn't you get promoted?"

Xu Ning'an sneered and said, "It's not because he drank a few mouthfuls of cat urine that he couldn't tell the difference between east, west, and north."

Today he also asked many people in the yard about this matter.

It soon became clear that Xu Damao looked forward when employing people, and turned backward when not using people.

As soon as the application for promotion was submitted, Xu Damao didn't recognize Jiang Ping'an, saying that he got rich by luck.

Is this what people say?

Jiang Ping'an has been promoted many times in one or two years.

Once or twice is luck, but countless leapfrog promotions are real skills.

After hearing this, Xu Ningan wished he could beat his son to death and have another one.

I've seen a worthless person, but I've never seen such a worthless one.

What a good backer Jiang Pingan is, he is the director, so many people can't keep up with him!

Fortunately for Xu Damao, everyone helped him, so he backstabbed him with a backhand.

If he behaved like this, it would be unacceptable for him to be able to upgrade.

After listening to Xu Ningan's account of the whole story, Tan Yali also hated that iron can't be made into steel.

She gritted her teeth, walked up to Xu Damao, nodded Xu Damao's forehead with her fingers, and said:

"You are quite a shrewd person, why do you get confused every time it is critical?"

"Is Ping'an not good to you? Why do you usually curry favor with him?"

"Since you want to flatter, keep flattering to the end, why can't you calm down?"

Xu Damao was speechless by what his mother said, and now he regrets it too much.

Speaking of which, the two major incidents that happened to him recently were all because of his drinking mistakes.

One is a salary upgrade, and the other is divorce from Lou Xiaoe.

Of these two things, one is related to career development, and the other is related to family happiness.

Well, it's all because he drank and suffered a lot!

After Tan Yali finished training her son, seeing Xu Damao's dejected appearance, her heart softened again.

She said softly, "Da Mao, your father and I are getting old, and there is not much we can do to help you."

"If you don't live up to your expectations, it will only be you who will suffer in the future."

"Also, after you come back safely later, you have to make amends to him, and we will also help ease the relationship."

"You are also confused. If you have such a solid relationship and don't maintain it well, why are you jealous?"

Xu Ningan snorted twice and said, "Aren't you so ambitious that you can't see yourself clearly?"

"As long as he has the slightest self-knowledge, he will not compare with Ping An."

"It's also fortunate that you are safe and generous. I guess it's because of the face of our two elders that I didn't care about you this time."

"Otherwise, with his contacts in the rolling mill, it would be like playing with you..."
