After Wang Gang left, Xu Damao didn't stay at home. After cleaning up, he left the courtyard and returned to his parents' home.
Xu's father and Xu's mother have not lived in the city since they retired, but have been living in the countryside. They are now over 80 this year and are still in good health.
Xu Damao is their only son, but since Xu Damao and Yu Haitang divorced, Xu's father and Xu's mother had some opinions on Xu Damao.
It’s not that Xu Damao hasn’t thought about finding another woman in these years. Unfortunately, he is old and his job is not good. How could a good woman fall in love with him?
Later, he resigned and went into business. When he first had some money, a woman came to him. Later, after he was cheated by Deputy Factory Director Li, the money was gone, and naturally there were no women.
Xu Damao comes to see his parents now, either asking for money or food, so Xu's father doesn't look good when he sees him.
"Why are you coming back? The family has no money." Xu's father is in his eighties and still has to worry about his son. You can imagine how he feels.
"Dad, I'll come back to see you. How are you and mom doing?"
"Huh! I haven't been mad at you yet." Xu's father said coldly.
"Old man, it's so rare for my son to come back, why are you so embarrassed?" After all, Xu's mother felt sorry for her only son.
"What evil has our Xu family done? We have such unfilial children and grandchildren, who will live in ignorance for the rest of their lives and have to suck the blood of their eighty-year-old father." Xu's father lamented.
"Dad, I was just unlucky. Who knew that Deputy Director Li was a liar?" Xu Damao said with a grimace.
"Alas! I don't ask you to get rich in business now, I just ask you to find a job as a gatekeeper in peace, so that you can at least support yourself!" Xu's father said, patting his thigh.
"Dad, don't worry, I will have money soon." Xu Damao took out Wang Gang's business card and handed it to his father.
Xu's father looked at the name on the business card and said with some confusion: "Wang Gang, this name seems familiar?"
"That's Mr. Wang Gang from Yanyu Shopping Mall!" Xu Damao said proudly.
"Yanyu Mall?" Xu's father said, "I remember this Mr. Wang, he used to be your neighbor, right?"
Xu Damao sighed and said, "Yes, that's Wang Gang. He used to live in a large courtyard, but later he got rich and moved away.
Now someone wants to buy my room and offers 10,000 yuan."
Father Xu frowned and said, "Ten thousand? What is ten thousand dollars now?"
Xu Damao chuckled and said: "Yes! That's why I never agreed to sell it. I won't come back to discuss it with you."
"Tell me the details in detail," Xu's father said.
Xu Damao told his father that He Yuzhu wanted to buy his house and later approached Wang Gang to come forward.
After Xu's father heard this, he didn't speak for a long time and only asked one question.
"Have all the other houses in the courtyard been bought by He Yuzhu?"
After Xu Damao nodded in agreement, Xu's father fell silent again.
After a long while, Xu's father said: "This house cannot be sold."
Xu Damao's eyes lit up and he said: "Yes! Ten thousand yuan is too little. I don't think it can be sold without one hundred thousand yuan."
"One hundred thousand?" Xu's father snorted coldly: "One hundred thousand is too small. If my guess is correct, your area will probably be demolished."
"Demolition? Never heard of it!" Xu Damao said puzzled.
Xu's father said coldly: "If it wasn't for demolition, why would He Yuzhu take over the house in the courtyard and finally ask a big boss like Wang Gang to come forward?"
Xu Damao said eagerly: "I heard that many houses can be divided into buildings during demolition, but they are still buildings."
Xu's father nodded and said: "Now the demolition policy is good. Not only do you allocate houses, but you also get money. I have heard about Wang Gang from Yanyu Mall. He took a lot of land near Sijiu City in the past few years. The government re-planned it."
, which cost him a lot of money."
Xu Damao nodded and said: "Wang Gang has made a fortune in real estate in recent years. He used to be a small business owner who opened a clothing store and sold clothes."
Xu's father said: "I guess your courtyard is also planning to be demolished, so He Yuzhu and Wang Gang want to buy the whole house."
Xu Damao said excitedly: "Then I won't sell my house. I'll demolish it and divide it up."
Father Xu said disdainfully: "You are confused. How big is your room and how many square meters can it be divided into?"
"Dad, what do you mean?" Xu Damao asked puzzled.
"What I mean is that the house still has to be sold to Wang Gang, but 100,000 yuan is too low, at least 200,000 yuan!"
"Is two hundred thousand too much?"
"As long as there are people living in your house, it cannot be demolished, and the house they originally took over will be lost to them."
"Higher, Dad, you are taller!" Xu Damao was happy, as if he saw 200,000 waving to him.
"Your mother and I will go back with you later. There are old people in the house, so we have concerns about demolishing it," Xu's father said.
"Then what are you waiting for? I'll pack my things right away." As long as Xu Damao makes money, he is very capable of action.
When Wang Gang learned that Xu Damao had taken his parents back to live with him and had no intention of selling the house, he realized that he might have done something bad with good intentions.
"Xu Damao's family is crazy about money. He actually asked me for 200,000 yuan for a shabby house of less than ten square meters." He Yuzhu was sitting in Wang Gang's office, cursing.
Wang Gang poured a cup of tea for He Yuzhu and said, "You are almost sixty, so don't be so angry. It will harm your health."
He Yuzhu's hair has begun to turn gray, but his body is still strong and full of energy.
"Brother-in-law, what do you want to do? You have also been to the compound to see what Xu Damao has done to it." He Yuzhu took a sip of tea, still feeling uneasy.
Wang Gang said: "This time I went to Xu Damao, maybe he misunderstood that the area would be demolished, otherwise he wouldn't be so open-minded."
He Yuzhu slapped the table, stood up and said, "I'm going to settle the score with Xu Damao."
Wang Gang grabbed He Yuzhu who was about to leave and said, "Don't be anxious. The more anxious you are, the more Xu Damao will think that you are determined to get it, and the less he will want to sell it when the time comes."
"Then tell me, what should we do?" He Yuzhu scratched his head and asked.
"Don't worry about this, I have my own arrangements."
"You can't let Xu Damao's grandson take advantage of you."
Wang Gang sneered: "It's so easy to take advantage of me."
The two chatted for a while, and He Sisi suddenly walked in and said to Wang Gang: "Mr. Wang, there is a Ms. Qin who says she is an old friend of yours and wants to see you."
Wang Gang asked curiously: "The surname is Qin? Did she say her full name?"
He Sisi shook her head and said: "No, she didn't say anything when I asked her. She just said she was your old friend."
He Yuzhu joked: "Brother-in-law, I can't be your concubine and come to settle accounts with you!"
He Sisi complained: "Dad, you can't make such a joke. That Ms. Qin looks much older than Mr. Wang."
He Yuzhu asked curiously: "Who is that person?"
Wang Gang shook his head and said, "You'll know someone when you see him. Sisi, please invite them over."
He Sisi followed the order and soon led a lady-like woman into the office.
He Yuzhu and Wang Gang were stunned when they saw the face of the visitor.
