Chapter 2892 The "Thief Saint" Takes Initial Shape

"Bang!" Director Wang slammed his fist on the table in anger, berating the office clerk. "Xiao Liu, what's going on?"

"What did you promise me?!"

"Is this the result of your guarantee?"

"I sent you to the courtyard house not to be a nice guy, but to help them improve, and this is how you do your job? Who told you to let Jia Zhangshi go?"

"Can you bear the consequences?"

"I..." Liu, the cadre in charge of the renovation of the courtyard house, also had his own difficulties.

He happened to see her when he was on duty at the street office yesterday and went to the police station. He couldn't bear to see her pitiful state, and since she seemed to have a clear attitude of remorse, he guaranteed her a safe place to go home. But in the blink of an eye, you've given me this huge mess.
Officer Liu was also seething with anger!

Old fat woman~
"Director Wang..."

"Alright, explain whatever you want, just go and bring him back to me right now!"

Thus, Jia Zhangshi entered the palace for the second time!

I've won another 15 days.

Seeing that there was nothing left to watch, Xu Damao walked out of the yard, because there wasn't enough cornbread at home to eat, and it was inconvenient to buy meat or cook something.

In this crowded courtyard, it's okay to eat here occasionally, but if it goes on for too long, people will start to have doubts. After all, Sha'e's family is not well-off, so how can she eat meat and fish every day?

If some bastard were to report this to higher authorities, it would be like having mud stuck in your pants—you'd be in deep trouble no matter what you did. So, I simply went to a state-run restaurant outside.

Although the service there wasn't great, the food the chef made was very authentic because it used all the best ingredients.

Braised lion's head meatballs are mostly meat, and the taste is completely different from what it is decades later. If you are lucky, you can still eat ingredients that are very different from what they are decades later.

For example, we have venison today!

"Master Liu, is the venison fresh today?"

"Da Mao~" The chubby chef, who was taking a break from his work to drink tea, looked up and his face brightened when he saw Xu Da Mao. "It has to be fresh!"

"It was the Panggezhuang militia that did the fighting. If it weren't for my sister-in-law's nephew being the militia captain, our restaurant wouldn't have gotten any of this meat. The state-owned factory would have already snatched it all up!"

"First come, first served, limited quantity!"

"One, please?"

"Just for your brother's sake, we have to get one too!" Xu Damao didn't hesitate at all, found an empty seat and sat down.

Although 5 yuan is quite expensive, enough to buy several servings of braised pork, this venison is indeed very nourishing for the original owner.

"And one more dish of stir-fried cabbage with vinegar, please!"

"And... Lao Liu, is the fish fresh today?"

"Fresh!"

"Okay, I'll have a braised fish!"

"That's all?" The waitress, an older woman, was cracking sunflower seeds, showing absolutely no service attitude. These days, when you eat at a state-run restaurant, don't expect any good service.

After all, whether they sell for 1 yuan or 100 yuan, their wages won't change by a single penny, so they'd rather be alone all day so they can relax and have some peace and quiet.

"That's all~" Xu Damao took out grain coupons, meat coupons, and money from his pocket and handed them over.

Two meat dishes and one vegetable dish, plus two large steamed buns, and a meal cost 8.5 yuan. Ordinary people really wouldn't dare to eat like that.

But the Xu family is actually not short of money. First of all, the father, Xu Laoxie, works at a state-run cinema. Because of his seniority and good skills, he earns more than 80 yuan a month. With only one son, they are already rolling in money.

Not to mention he married Lou Bancheng's daughter. Every month, the family has more meat and vegetable coupons than they can spend. Moreover, they occasionally go to the countryside to earn extra money. A couple of days ago, when they were taking stock of their assets, they were shocked to find more than 5000 yuan under the bed.

With such a substantial family fortune, they are probably either the first or second richest in the courtyard. It is estimated that only the old, childless Yi Zhonghai is richer than the Xu family. As an eighth-grade worker, he can earn nearly 100 yuan a month and can easily save over a thousand yuan a year!
"The food's ready!" "Okay~"

Like I said before, when you eat out, don't expect any service; don't expect the waiters to bring things to your table.

If they tell you the food is ready, it's only because Xu Damao is a regular customer. Otherwise, you have to keep an eye on it yourself. They just put the food out the window after they've finished cooking, whether you take it or not is up to you. They're very capricious!
"Hoo~" Xu Damao was very satisfied with the taste of the chewy venison.

Sometimes he just couldn't understand it. He thought, "Is Yi Zhonghai going crazy? You have this family wealth. If you think your son might turn out to be an ungrateful wretch, you could raise a daughter instead."

Finally, find an honest and reliable son-in-law to live with the family, or train a young disciple to become the last disciple. In the end, you will have the dual roles of master and father-in-law. Even if the other party is a scoundrel, you will have to consider your reputation.

I really don't understand why they've set their sights on Sha Zhu.

Even if they've got their eyes on them, that's fine. The key is that with that guy's silly personality, he's a real piece of meat. The deaf old lady behind them and the Jia family across the street are all waiting to get their hands on him.

"Da Mao, how's the food?" None of the chefs were thin, and Chef Liu even came over with a teacup.

"Drink of water!"

"Old Liu, you don't come here unless you need something. Just say it quickly, or I'll have to go to the toilet after I finish eating!" Xu Damao picked his teeth with a fish bone. This venison is good in every way, but it's easy for it to get stuck in your teeth.

"Hehehe~" Fatty Liu chuckled. "Nothing can be hidden from you!"

"There really is such a small matter!"

After a satisfying meal, Xu Damao left the restaurant. Chef Liu's request was simple: a relative of his was sick and someone had somehow gotten hold of a folk remedy that claimed bear oil could cure the illness. He wanted Xu Damao to keep an eye out for it when he went to the countryside.

In the north, it gets dark early in winter, and it's already pitch black outside at this time...

Xu Damao only learned when he brushed his teeth the next morning that Sha Zhu hadn't come back at all the night before. Guo Da Piezi had given him a hard time, and the two of them had fought like dogs. They were both taken away by the patrolling security department and handcuffed to the radiator for the entire night.

"Xu Damao, you..."

"Stupid column!"

If Qin Huairu hadn't stopped him, the furious Sha Zhu probably would have rushed forward right then and there.

Xu Damao felt it was a pity and was just about to teach this guy a lesson when Qin Huairu stopped him.

"Sister Qin, why are you stopping me?" Sha Zhu seemed to have gotten jealous again.

Qin Huairu rolled her eyes and said irritably, "What can I do if I don't stop you?"

"Xu Damao is utterly rotten to the core now. If he starts going after the neighborhood committee again, and you already have a disciplinary record, don't blame me if he cuts your salary or something."

Seeing that Qin Huairu was concerned about him, Sha Zhu grinned foolishly. "Sister Qin~"

"Hmph~" Qin Huairu turned around, picked up the washbasin, and ran to her own house.

Sha Zhu's eyes were practically glued to the screen!
"What are you looking at?" The chubby-faced boy Bang Geng has grown up now and can tell that Sha Zhu's eyes are filled with ill intent.

The reason why she harbored hatred towards Sha Zhu was because Jia Zhangshi often lectured her grandson.

"What? Your mother is getting married and she's sorry to your father?"

"Shazhu has always been thinking about your mother!"

"Our whole family needs to keep a close eye on you, because if your mother remarries, she won't want you anymore."

Banggeng's teeth were itching with hatred. He thought to himself, "Once you bastard leave, I'll steal everything from your house, or I'm not a Jia!"

The "Holy Thief" of the courtyard house was also beginning to take shape.

To be continued...
