Get something in the courtyard

Xu Damao had doubts in his heart, so he began to investigate secretly. He found that Liu Guangtian and his brother often went to Sichuan restaurants.

This made him even more suspicious.

Why would they go to a Sichuan restaurant for dinner without any reason? They didn't have any money, could they afford it? He couldn't bear to come here often.

"Liu Lan, Liu Lan."

Liu Lan looked over following the voice and said, "Xu Damao? Why are you acting like a thief? Are you afraid that Sha Zhu will teach you a lesson?

Don't worry. He's not here recently. The kitchen is now managed by Ma Hua's apprentice Xiao Liu. Even if he is here, you don't have to be afraid. His father, Wang Kun, and his wife have given him strict orders not to lose his temper at will.

If he wants to attack you, just call the security guards. Don’t be fooled by their age. They were elites in the military when they were young. It’s like a piece of cake for them to teach Sha Zhu a lesson.”

Xu Damao said unconvincedly: "Who is afraid of him? I am not here to find him this time."

"Who are you looking for? Wang Kun? If you want to look for him, forget it. He is very busy now and doesn't come here often. Even if he wants to eat, he won't come here. The private restaurant is close to his home, and several chefs are there."

Xu Damao didn't care about these things and pulled Liu Lan aside: "I'm not looking for Wang Kun either. Let me ask you, do you still remember Liu Haizhong?"

Liu Lan looked at him in surprise: "Remember, what's wrong?"

"Then do you know his two sons?"

Liu Lan looked down on him and said, "I know them. I will never forget what I have seen. Aren't they Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu? Liu Guangtian entered the factory during the movement and brought workers' pickets to cause trouble for Wang Kun.

After Shazhu left, Ma Hua and the people in the cafeteria flipped the spoon for him for ten years.

That Liu Guangfu, originally he was delivering mountain products from Northeast China to restaurants, but later he started working with you. I have to say that you are a rip-off.

Zhao Mantun from the Northeast has made a fortune by delivering mountain products. Liu Guangfu hasn’t made much progress.”

Xu Damao needed help and didn't want to offend Liu Lan, so he could only listen to her scolding. After Liu Lan finished scolding him, he asked, "Let me ask you, do these two come to the hotel often? Who do they come to the hotel to look for?"

Liu Lan kept her mouth shut. The work in the restaurant was much stricter than that in the canteen of the steel mill. The most important requirement was not to talk nonsense. In order to keep this job, she had changed a lot of her bad habit of talking nonsense.

Xu Damao was stunned for a moment: "Don't you know them?"

Liu Lan asked cautiously, "Why are you asking these questions? Xu Damao, I'm telling you, don't hurt me. The hotel's management is very strict, and you can't tell anyone about the guests."

Xu Damao looked at Liu Lan in surprise, and even felt that he had found the wrong person. There was actually something he dared not to say about the little gossip about the steel mill.

"Sister Lan, I have no grudge against you, why would I harm you? I just don't like the two boys from Second Uncle's family and want to teach them a lesson. Don't worry, this matter is known to heaven and earth, you and I know it, but Wang Kun is 100% unaware of it."

Liu Lan couldn't help it in the end and told Xu Damao, mainly because she was dissatisfied with the person the Liu brothers met.

"You also know the person they met. She's the woman who came with that bastard Li Huaide. Her name is Fengxia."

"Yu Fengxia."

"Yes, Yu Fengxia. They often come to meet each other, and it is Yu Fengxia who pays for them. I don't know what Yu Fengxia sees in them."

At this point, Xu Damao was already certain that Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu had poached his employees and stolen his business.

Without Liu Guangtian and the other two, Li Huaide didn't dare to just give him some money and sent him away.

"Sister Lan, thank you so much. I'll treat you to dinner next time."

After getting the information he wanted, Xu Damao said goodbye to Liu Lan. However, he did not leave, but found a place to hide.

He wanted to take revenge on Li Huaide, but he didn't dare let anyone know, especially Liu Lan, who was such a big mouth. In the following days, every time Xu Damao saw the three old men in the courtyard having fun, he would sneer in his heart.

He soon got wind of the deal, found a phone booth, and reported them anonymously.

Liu Guangtian and his people didn't know this and were still waiting complacently to get rich.

On the night of the transaction, Xu Damao got a recliner and lay in the yard to look at the stars, blocking the Liu brothers in the house.

His purpose was not to stop them, but to get rid of suspicion.

Liu Haizhong stepped forward to stop Xu Damao: "Da Mao, what are you doing sitting in the yard?"

"Uncle, it's okay. I'm just sitting here because I'm bored. I've been busy with business recently, and I finally got some free time, so I'm going to take a break here. To be honest, when I get the money this time, I'm going to buy a house. I won't live in a courtyard anymore."

Liu Haizhong's eyes flashed with envy, and he said, "Even you are moving away. Since Wang Kun moved away, there have been fewer and fewer people in the courtyard.

But it's true, who doesn't want to live in an apartment? If you move out, we won't have many opportunities to drink together.

Damao, we don't have any grudges that we can't resolve. Let your second aunt prepare some food and we can drink together."

Xu Damao looked at his watch and knew it was almost time. He wanted to catch them all at once. If Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu didn't go, how could he continue his play?

"That's fine. It's no fun for just the two of us to drink. Jingru, go see if Uncle He is back, and ask him to come over and have a drink with you."

Liu Haizhong's purpose was to stop Xu Damao, so he naturally didn't care about these. If it weren't for the bad relationship between Yi Zhonghai, He Daqing and Xu Damao, he would have wanted to call Yi Zhonghai over to prevent Xu Damao from noticing the problem.

As for Yan Bugui, Liu Haizhong couldn't find him. The old man had already gone to the cargo yard with his wife and Yan Jiecheng.

Soon, He Daqing came over and asked, "Are you two reconciled again?"

Xu Damao said with a smile: "We didn't quarrel. Although the business with the second uncle has been divided, I am still doing business with Guangtian and Guangfu."

Liu Haixin said, after tonight, you won’t be so proud.

"Old He, look at what you said. We have been neighbors for decades, isn't it normal to have some bumps and bruises? Come over here quickly. I haven't seen you recently, where have you been?"

After He Daqing sat down, he said slowly: "It's nothing, just teaching Shazhu and Yuliang how to cook."

Liu Haizhong thought that he would have money soon, so he said, "I have heard of Tan's cuisine, but I have never eaten it properly. Can I have a taste of it?"

He Daqing snorted, "You're not going to cause trouble at the private restaurant, are you? I'm telling you, if you dare to cause trouble, not only Wang Kun, but I won't forgive you either."

Liu Haizhong blushed: "Didn't I get tricked by Lao Yi? Don't worry, I'll go alone this time without Lao Yi."

Xu Damao thought, eat shit, after tonight, you'll be lucky to be able to afford a meal. He didn't expose her, and coaxed Liu Haizhong with his clever mouth.

But he was not paying attention to his meal and kept looking up at the clock on the wall.

In the front yard, Yi Zhonghai and Jia Zhangshi sat in the same room. They disliked each other but had to sit together.

Qin Huairu and Banggeng went to the cargo yard to pick up the goods together.

At about ten o'clock, Liu Guangfu ran back in panic: "Dad, it's bad. People from the Industrial and Commercial Bureau suddenly showed up and seized all the goods."

The whole courtyard was alarmed, and two ambulances arrived. (End of this chapter)
