Chapter 2867 Rightfully Making a Mistake

That old woman is so wicked. Although she appears friendly to Lou Xiao'e on the surface, she is actually plotting in secret so that she can live a comfortable retirement in the future.

She had always wanted to bring Lou Xiao'e and Sha Zhu together, and for this she did not hesitate to speak ill of Xu Damao. She even gave the shoes that Lou Xiao'e had bought to Sha Zhu, in order to make Xu Damao mistakenly believe that Lou Xiao'e and Sha Zhu were having an affair, so as to hasten their divorce.

Although the deaf old lady was not directly involved in Lou Xiao'e's divorce from Xu Damao, she played a key role in Lou Xiao'e's relationship with Sha Zhu. Lou Xiao'e eventually went bankrupt and left for another place, and the deaf old lady should bear some responsibility for this.

After her divorce, Lou Xiao'e did not rush back to her parents' home. Instead, she was invited to her room by the deaf old woman and stayed there for several months.

During this time, the deaf old woman began to scheme. First, she introduced Lou Xiao'e to Sha Zhu. The reason she felt that no one else was suitable for Sha Zhu was because only Lou Xiao'e could be easily manipulated.

This girl is a complete airhead, her brain seems to be missing a screw. If Sha Zhuzi had married another wife, she certainly wouldn't have treated the old deaf woman like she was an empress dowager. Besides, the other women might have a lot of brothers and sisters, and they wouldn't just stand by and watch their sisters be bullied.

That's why she carefully chose Lou Xiao'e; she just wanted to enjoy the rest of her life in peace and tranquility.

In the end, the old man actually succeeded halfway!
Although Lou Bancheng took his daughter away, Lou Xiao'e was pregnant and eventually became a blood bank for the elderly care group.

Just as Xu Damao was thinking about how to strike first and deal with the deaf old lady, there was a knock on the door.

"Boom boom boom!"

"Who is it?"

"Da Mao, are you home?" Yan Bugui's voice rang out from outside the door.

Well, this old miser still hasn't given up.

"Is there something you need?" Xu Damao opened the door but made no attempt to invite anyone in.

Before being reborn, I was timid and afraid of these old geezers. If I'm afraid after being reborn, then what's the point of being reborn?

All those self-proclaimed moral saints are just ordinary people at heart. They don't actually have that much power; they're just good at moral blackmail.

"Hehe~" Yan Bugui chuckled, glancing around the room until he saw that the smoked chicken wrapped in oilcloth on the table hadn't been touched, and only then did he feel relieved.

He said in a high-sounding manner, "Da Mao, I just remembered that Xiao'e isn't home. Your third aunt was thinking that your house is chilly, so she decided to invite you over for dinner!"

Have a meal?

This is probably not about eating; it's about him thinking about his smoked chicken.

"Goodbye, Uncle San, I've already lit the stove. You'd better hurry home for dinner, it's getting dark, so I won't keep you any longer!"

"I..." He didn't finish speaking.

With a "smack," Xu Damao slammed the door shut.

"Hmph!" Yan Bugui was a little unhappy that he hadn't gotten the better of him after being turned away.

"Hey Lao Yan, what are you doing wandering around our backyard with nothing better to do?" Uncle Er pushed open the door from the opposite side. He looked very burly with his bangs, and as a worker in the forging workshop, he was over 40 years old and had a straight back.

"What are you saying? Can't I even stroll around the backyard?"

"You go to the front yard all the time too!"

These two can be described as having a love-hate relationship. Whenever they meet, they always have to banter with each other. The third uncle is eyeing the second uncle's position, while the second uncle dislikes the third uncle for being too stingy. Last time, when his eldest son came home at night, the third uncle tricked him out of a few peanuts.

Xu Damao lit the stove inside. You know what? You didn't feel it before, but it was definitely chilly after you took off your cotton-padded coat.

A wry smile appeared on his face as he lit the stove.

It's not so easy to be a great-aunt. Other people come home to their wives, children, and a warm bed after get off work, but this original owner of the body has to serve them after work, cooking and cleaning.

While lighting the stove, I also warmed up the cold smoked chicken with my hands. Just as I was about to eat it, I heard the door open.

"Da Mao, I'm back! Come pick me up quickly!" Lou Xiao'e entered the door carrying large and small bags. In her early twenties, she had short hair, and even though her clothes were simple, she couldn't hide her natural elegance. This wasn't something that could be cultivated overnight; it was an inner and outer richness.

Moreover, she has a voluptuous figure. Although she can't compare to Qin Huairu, who has given birth to several children and become a widow, she will definitely not let her children go hungry in the future, after all, she has the assets to back it up.

"Slow down, slow down!" Xu Damao quickly went over and took the package.

"Pour me a glass of water, I'm exhausted!" Lou Xiao'e sat down in a chair, panting, and adorably stuck out her tongue as she complained.

"You know, my dad is really something. We clearly have a car at home, why won't he let me drive it in? He dropped me off at the alley entrance and made me carry my things and walk the rest of the way myself!"

"Here you go," Xu Damao handed over the teacup.

Regarding this matter, all I can say is that this cheap father-in-law is quite something; he still dares to drive around so ostentatiously, which is simply asking for trouble.

The stove was quite warm when they entered the house, and Lou Xiao'e took off her cotton-padded coat. "By the way, Damao, I asked Dad about your matter. He agreed to help but said it's not easy. We'll see what other solutions we can come up with later!"

what's up?

Only after checking his memories did he realize that Xu Damao, this official-obsessed man, still longed to become a leader and would constantly pester and plead, hoping to get a position through his father-in-law.

Little did she know that this was pure nonsense. The claim that Lou Zhenhua had agreed was clearly just a way to fool her. At this point, he was already in dire straits himself; otherwise, he wouldn't have married his daughter to the original owner of this body.

How could I possibly agree to do this favor?

Not to mention that even if we wanted to help, there's nothing we could do; we no longer have the authority to make decisions.

This steel rolling mill used to be the private property of the Lou family. Lou Zhenhua was quite famous back then, and even had the nickname "Lou Half-City", meaning that his family's money could buy half of Beiping City.

Later, with the implementation of the public-private partnership, they became more low-key and rarely went out except for necessary meetings at the factory.

This steel rolling mill has also flourished under the people's leadership. It used to have only about 1000 workers, but now it is a large state-owned factory directly under the ministry, with tens of thousands of workers in addition to the production workshops.

It also has its own school for employees' children, factory hospital, canteen, stadium, auditorium, barbershop, and bathhouse—almost everything is available. The entire area within a few kilometers belongs to the steel rolling mill.

The current head of the steel rolling mill is Director Yang, a level 9 official equivalent to the top leader of a region. He is responsible for all aspects of the steel rolling mill's operations, while the official himself is largely uninvolved.

Below them are three deputy factory directors, each in charge of one unit. These include Li Huaide, the current deputy factory director in charge of logistics, and two deputy factory directors in charge of production and administration. Together with the chief engineer who enjoys the same treatment as the deputy factory director, they form the entire leadership team.

Below that are various functional departments, including the Transportation Department, Publicity Department, Logistics Department, Materials Department, Technology Department, Security Department, Production Department 1, Production Department 2, Production Department 3, Personnel Department, Trade Union, Women's Federation, Discipline Inspection Department, and Factory Office.

Below this department are various subordinate units such as production workshops, purchasing departments, housing management departments, hospitals, employee clubs, etc.

Xu Damao, the projectionist, was under the jurisdiction of the propaganda department.

The original owner of this body was too naive. She wanted to become a leader without any connections. The normal process, unless you have some powerful background or are directly assigned after graduating from a vocational school or university, is that if an ordinary worker wants to become a cadre, you have to work as a substitute cadre first.

Then, clerks and staff members work their way up through 24 levels step by step. There's no way to go directly from a worker to a cadre in one step.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. Go wash your face and get some rest!" Xu Damao stared intently at Lou Xiao'e in front of him.

Lou Xiao'e, having taken off her coat, changed into a nightgown since it was almost dark outside and the stove inside was burning warmly. She was leaning against the bed, gently tapping her legs.

"Why is that all you can think about?" She gave him a reproachful glare.

"No wonder my dad..." Lou Xiao'e stopped herself in time, because her father had specifically instructed her before he left that this matter was an absolute family secret and no one could tell anyone.

Just as he was about to turn back, he was suddenly lifted into the air. "Hey... you just like that!"

"Hurry up!" We can't let go of this opportunity to make a mess of things in a legitimate way.

To be continued...
