Chapter 2887 A Pie Falling from the Sky? Or Maybe a Trap!
"Chairman Lou, please feel free to speak your mind!"

Although I knew the old man was definitely up to no good, I figured I might as well beat the kid on a rainy day since I was bored anyway. Besides, there weren't many short videos on my phone at this time, so I figured I'd just lie in bed scratching the walls when I got home.

"Da Mao, you guessed right!" Lou Zhenhua pulled out two cigars from somewhere and used cigar cutters to cut open the seals.

"Snap!" The special lighter slowly heated it, all the movements were smooth and fluid.
He simply said that his guess was correct, without mentioning whether he actually intended to do so. This kind of old fox never speaks his mind directly; it's become a habit over the years.

"Come on, try this cigar from abroad!"

"No, I can't stand this stuff!" Xu Damao refused, pushing his hand away.

"Chairman Lou, please speak frankly!"

"Hoo~" Lou Zhenhua took a puff of his cigar and suddenly asked, "Da Mao, do you know how much this cigar costs?"

"I don't know!"

"$300!"

"Oh~"

Xu Damao's indifferent reaction made Lou Zhenhua, who was trying to show off, unable to hold back. "How am I supposed to continue?"

What's wrong with this kid? He's changed so much all of a sudden!

He's changed so much he almost doesn't recognize himself anymore!
They used to seem incredibly shrewd, with their calculating nature written all over their faces, but in reality, they were extremely easy to manipulate. Giving them a few small favors would make them happy for days.

Now what's going on?

Lou Zhenhua lost interest in continuing and simply extinguished the cigar. "Da Mao, since you're so determined, I have no reason to stop you!"

"Now we're talking about freedom of marriage!"

"But I have an idea that we can discuss together. For example, could we postpone your divorce from Xiao'e?"

"Why?" Although Xu Damao did not take the cigar, he still took some fruit from the coffee table and ate it.

It seems that only at the Lou family's house can one eat these bananas, a rare treat in winter. These past two days in the courtyard have indeed been very difficult; the coarse cornbread almost made me choke.

Lou Zhenhua chuckled, a hint of disdain in his eyes. "If you can't be served properly, you can't be served properly. If you're used to eating coarse grains, you'll never be able to eat fine chaff."

"Da Mao, six months!"

"You two should maintain your marriage for another six months!"

"This little villa will be yours then. Also, before I leave, I'll contact my old connections. Didn't you always want to be a cadre?"

"We're father-in-law and son-in-law, so we have a bond. This is just one last favor for you!"

Xu Damao, who was eating a banana, looked up with a smile when he heard this.

"Chairman Lou, are you serious?"

"Of course, I can't take the house away. Don't worry, all the procedures are fine, and I guarantee it can be transferred to your name!" Lou Zhenhua was certain that Xu Damao wouldn't refuse.

This is like a windfall!

The original owner's biggest dream was to become the owner of this small villa. He had been the son-in-law of the Lou family for so many years, but he had never stayed here for even one night.

The original owner of this body probably knew very well that the Lou family had never looked up to him!
Seeing Lou Zhenhua's confident demeanor, the reborn Xu Damao knew very well that, given the original owner's personality, he would have been consumed by greed at the sight of such a windfall, and would probably have jumped for joy in agreeing.

But is this really a pie?

It's probably a trap!
Lou Zhenhua is clearly looking for a substitute. Once he accepts the house and the job, he'll be in deep trouble. As the son-in-law of a capitalist, how can you say you know nothing?
Would anyone believe that?
"Chairman Lou, you're truly a shrewd old man!" "Da Mao, if you're worried, I can put this house in your name now. After all, once you leave, you probably won't be coming back!"

"Also... how about this, although things are a bit tough at home right now, we can still come up with some cash. I won't let you work for nothing these past six months, just name your price!"

Goodness, let alone a father-in-law, even a biological son probably wouldn't get this kind of treatment, right?

"Chairman Lou, you're really generous!"

"They're giving us houses and money!"

"Honestly, I'm actually a little tempted."

"Da Mao, are you not satisfied with these conditions?" Lou Zhenhua wasn't stupid; how could he not understand the hidden meaning in his words?

"Of course not, it's just that I believe there's no such thing as a free lunch!"

"I've said what I needed to say and explained everything to you. There's no need to be too blunt about some things. I'll pretend I didn't see some of your actions, but I'm afraid this divorce is inevitable. After all, I can't have a father-in-law who's left me!"

Xu Damao didn't care at all where Lou Zhenhua went.

Or perhaps she's not that saintly. As the saying goes, "It's going to rain, and a mother will remarry." After all, even a starved camel is bigger than a horse. If Lou Bancheng is pushed to a certain point, he might do something else.

He just wants to part ways amicably, get rid of the silly goose as soon as possible, eliminate the impact, and live his own peaceful life. He'll endure it for another ten years or so, and then the storm will pass.

Ignoring Lou Zhenhua's distressed expression, Xu Damao turned back to look at the small villa at the gate after leaving the Lou family home, and finally rode away on his bicycle without any hesitation.

A villa may be nice, but it's not really yours to own!
Just kidding, if someone actually dared to move in, they probably wouldn't even know how they died.

……

Vertical sun.

As soon as I arrived at work, the steel rolling mill's loudspeaker started broadcasting, and the announcer, Yu Haitang, had a clear and crisp voice.

"We now have an announcement: He Yuzhu, a cook in the No. 1 canteen of our factory's logistics department, has been found guilty of abusing his power for personal gain by arbitrarily reducing workers' meals. After deliberation by the factory leadership, it has been decided that he will be..."

Ordinary workers don't care how they are punished or not. In other words, even if everyone knows that there is only a small amount of meat in the daily meals, thousands of people can't actually get a single shred of meat.

But this punishment of Sha Zhu means the whole factory will have to improve their lunch, with a total of 5 pigs and over a thousand pounds of meat. This makes all the difference, and everyone is looking forward to lunch!
have lunch.

Xu Damao even brought his lunchbox to the first canteen, but even though he arrived a little early, there was still a long queue. Everyone knew that the first canteen was serving stewed meat today, and they were afraid that if they arrived a little late, they wouldn't get any.

"Why are there so many people?" Even projectionist Lao Zhao was a bit dumbfounded.

"Let's line up!" Xu Damao stood at the back of the line, where there were probably more than 100 people.

After about seventeen or eighteen minutes, it was finally my turn.

He placed the lunchbox at the window and handed over the food coupons and money with his other hand: "Give me a serving of stewed meat and a dish of stir-fried cabbage with vinegar!"

"No stir-fried cabbage with vinegar... Xu Damao?" The silly Zhu who was serving the food was instantly furious and gritted his teeth. It was all this culprit's fault that he lost his position as the cafeteria supervisor. Otherwise, he wouldn't be working so hard serving food here.

They were fined a full 1000 yuan!

I didn't have that much money on hand, so in the end I had to borrow it from an old man.

"What?" Xu Damao chuckled when he saw Sha Zhu. "You still dare to shake the ladle?"
