Restarting life in Siheyuan

"I thought you had forgotten about us. Tell me, what brings you here?"

A strong young man crossed his arms, put one foot on a small stool, and spoke sinisterly. The middle-aged man sat there drinking tea as if nothing had happened, watching the other strong young man slowly counting the silver dollars in his hand.

"Brother Li, look at what you are saying. How could I forget you? Besides, the boss is here. It's just that something happened at home recently, so I came late. Please forgive me."

Xu Damao had a flattering look on his face. He couldn't afford to offend this Li Ge'er. He was good at kung fu and spoke in a sinister way. He had known him for the shortest time, but this guy had no scruples about tormenting him. If it weren't for Boss Wang's protection, he would have suffered a lot.

"I heard that you found a widow. I thought you had your old habit again and forgot about us. It turns out that you still know that the boss is here. Tell me, what's the matter with you coming here this time?"

Xu Damao blushed. He didn't expect that he hadn't come to show his filial piety for just ten days, but this person had already found out all about his family affairs.

"I'm looking for a young widow. I'm not young anymore, and my family is in a hurry. People like us who have worked in the kiln for several years are not favored by others. I'm just looking for a widow to carry on the family line."

"Carry on the family line?" The middle-aged man called Boss put down his teacup and looked at Xu Damao with an amused expression. He looked him up and down for a long time and waved his hand. Xu Damao stepped forward tactfully and stretched out his hand. The middle-aged man took his pulse and spoke in surprise after a while.

"I see that your body has not recovered. I see that your kidney essence is deficient, your sperm channels are blocked, and your spleen and stomach are weak. You are no different from before. It is just a dream for you to pass on your family line."

Xu Damao was shocked after hearing this. This Old Wang was quite capable. He felt deeply about it back then and did not dare to tell anyone about his wife's pregnancy. Back then, Old Wang relied on his superb medical skills and magical kung fu to develop countless followers in the local area and caused quite a stir.

"But Boss, I've been following the method you gave me for several months since I got out. I've been taking acupuncture and taking care of my diet. How come there's no change?"

Back then, Xu Damao consulted Lao Wang about fertility issues in prison. Lao Wang told him in all seriousness that he had insufficient kidney essence, which might be due to postnatal malnutrition, sexual strain, etc. At the same time, improper diet led to internal production of phlegm, blocking the meridians, insufficient source of energy, and the loss of nourishment for the innate kidney essence, resulting in reduced sperm production. In short, it was difficult for him to have children.

Xu Damao felt uneasy at the time, as all of what Lao Wang said really applied to him. He went to the countryside many times to seek happiness. Even if he did not go to the countryside, he had been to many half-closed houses in the city. As for food, it goes without saying. If one person is well fed, the whole family will not be hungry. His salary is not low, his family has support, and he has extra income. He is healthy, but of course he also has to eat well.

Considering that he was dumped by Lou Xiao'e, Xu Damao believed it at the time. In the past few months since he was released from prison, and because of the changes in the overall environment, he did change his lifestyle habits and never stopped acupuncture and conditioning. Now he has Qin Huairu, proving that the conditioning during this period was very effective. But why does Boss Wang still say that there is no change in his body?
"Illness comes like a mountain falling, and goes away like a thread being pulled out. You must have heard that it takes more than a few months to take care of your body. Your illness won't show any improvement in a few years. Don't worry, you are still young. Continue to take care of yourself according to my method. I think you will see some effect in a few years."

Boss Wang glanced at Xu Damao, closed his eyes and stopped talking. He brought people to Beijing this time because he understood the general trend and wanted to get some benefits, accumulate some capital, and find a chance to go out and try his luck. Now he sees no hope of making a comeback in the country.

Xu Damao is a local, so he can naturally use it. He has been in contact with them since he was released from prison. It was with the help of Xu Damao that they rented this small courtyard here. Although it is a bit remote and a bit shabby, it is quiet and inconspicuous, which is just right for them.

He left home a few years earlier than Xu Damao and sneaked back to the base, only to find that things had changed and people's hearts had dispersed. He dared not trust anyone except a few die-hard fans. In recent years, he has been wandering around Beijing and Tianjin with a few die-hard fans. This place is relatively wealthy, but the income is average. Now Beijing has given them hope of making a fortune. Facts have proved that this is indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. In just a few months, they have earned wealth that they could not have saved in decades.

"Boss, actually, I came here to ask for help. Please help me, brothers, to deal with the guy who sent me to the kiln. It was him who made me stay there for six years. To be honest, this is actually an opportunity to make a fortune..."

Seeing that Boss Wang closed his eyes, Xu Damao had to put aside the matter of continuing the family line and started talking about things that interested this group of people. Sure enough, when he mentioned the opportunity to make a fortune, Boss Wang opened his eyes again. Even Li Lao San on the side became excited and listened to Xu Damao's story.

"What? Are you serious? This kid donated 50,000 at a time!"

Li Lao San was stunned, his eyes lit up, fifty thousand! What a fortune! If it were replaced with more than twenty big goldfish, the eldest brother had been working hard with everyone for several years, but he still hadn't saved up that much.

"Of course it's true. This kid studied abroad for many years. He must have made a lot of money by speculating and profiteering. I heard that he always brought a lot of foreign stuff back home. He should have a lot of foreign stuff at home."

Zhu Xuefeng didn't know that Xu Damao had really guessed a lot of things. He helped to trade dollars several times and also stockpiled a lot of canned meat, bacon, ham and the like. There was no other way. Everyone was hungry in the past few years, so stockpiling became a habit. He would buy a lot every time he came back.

Xu Damao, who was afraid that he could not arouse the interest of Boss Wang, exaggerated what he heard. "You said that if the family didn't have a foundation, how could they build it? And, I saw the donation receipt with my own eyes, and I saw it clearly, it is absolutely correct."

Seeing that Boss Wang seemed somewhat interested, he continued, "Think about it, he can donate 50,000, so how can this family be less? He now lives in a large courtyard with four entrances. You haven't seen it. It is said that in the past, only second-rank officials were qualified to live there. It's very grand. Boss, tell me, is this an opportunity to make a fortune?"

Xu Damao spoke with great conviction. He just wanted to use Boss Wang and his men to deal with Zhu Xuefeng. Aren't you a martial artist? Boss Wang has several powerful martial artists under his command. Even the Second Prison couldn't hold them back then. It would be just right for him to be used to deal with this guy.

After Xu Damao finished speaking, the two young men looked at Boss Wang eagerly, but Boss Wang, who didn't know what he was thinking about, slowly closed his eyes. Xu Damao felt nervous. Did he exaggerate too much and make Boss Wang not believe it? It didn't make sense. He saw the donation of 50,000 yuan clearly. Although the other things were exaggerated, compared with the donation of 50,000 yuan, they were not outrageous. He was hesitating when he heard Boss Wang speak slowly.

"Da Mao, what evil intentions do you have? Why are you willing to give this piece of fat meat to us without even taking a bite yourself?"

Xu Damao had provided information to Boss Wang several times, and he had gained some information, but he had never gotten any fat meat of this kind. Boss Wang also knew that Xu Damao had been taking people out to raid houses many times these days, and he didn't believe that Xu Damao would take the initiative to give him any benefit.

Xu Damao smiled and said, "Look at what you said. I didn't mean to hide it from you. Indeed, our street office arranged for us to go there, but it didn't work out. This guy is not easy to mess with. He is a martial artist. The key is that he has connections in the city."

Xu Damao concealed the last relevant details of the last house search, but he told everything else in detail. He only said that he found out at the end that there was someone above this family and they could not offend him, so he asked Boss Wang to help him get revenge.

After saying that, Xu Damao looked at Boss Wang, but saw that Boss Wang was keeping his head down and not saying anything. Boss Wang was thinking about something. He was not worried that Xu Damao would deceive him with this matter, but this family seemed to be a difficult one, and it seemed that they were people in the government. Xu Damao had been watching Boss Wang's expression with concern, but he did not notice that Li Lao San's eyes had changed, and Li Lao San spoke anxiously.

"Tell me in detail what this boy looks like. Also, is there a woman in the yard who is also good at fighting? Tell me everything clearly."

Xu Damao was stunned. How could this Li Lao San even know about Lin Yilan, the deputy section chief? It was strange, but he still described it in detail.

"There is a woman who knows Kung Fu. I only found out about it when I went there last time. She is the deputy chief of the security department of our unit. I heard that she knows some Kung Fu. She is a little tall, pretty, taciturn, and has a look on her face that says "keep away from strangers". And..."

After listening to this, Li Laosan felt a little confused again. The young man described by Xu Damao was very similar to the guy who caught him twice, except that his expression and behavior did not match. The woman was even less similar, neither her appearance nor her expression and behavior matched.

"Is he from the government office?" asked Boss Wang.

Xu Damao shook his head. "To be honest, I really don't know. It shouldn't be possible that he is from overseas study and stays at home during working hours. But this guy is very arrogant. If he is really from the government, it is not impossible."

"Boss, I want to go and take a look." Li Laosan volunteered. If it was really that guy, he would take revenge no matter what. This guy almost got him killed twice. If he hadn't been lucky enough to escape, he might have been killed twice.

"You can go and take a look, but be careful. I think this guy is from the government, so don't get caught by accident."

Boss Wang was originally somewhat averse to such risky things. If something really happened again, he might not be as lucky as last time to escape. But since Li Lao San was interested, it would be fine for him to go and check it out. If there was really a chance, it would certainly be a good thing to make a fortune.

"Got it, sir. Don't worry, I'll be careful." Li Laosan had been defeated by that kid twice. Although he was focused on revenge, he was not unaware of the difference in their skills, so he naturally did not dare to take it lightly.

"Tell me, you asked us to help you and avenge you, so you should show some appreciation. Don't treat us like fools. It's okay for the third brother to go and take a look first. If you can't do it well, we won't take the job."

Boss Wang glanced at Xu Damao who was accompanying Xiao Xin on the side. This guy was smart, but as slippery as a loach. He was no less capable than his own military strategist Diao Liuzi. That guy was also a native of Beijing, but he had no one at home and no roots in the city, so he had no choice but to follow him.

"Boss, I understand this. I have brought it all. I have to ask you to help me deal with this little grievance. How can I let you guys run for nothing?"

As Xu Damao spoke, he took out two small yellow croakers from his jacket pocket and handed them over. The young man next to Boss Wang took them and examined them. "Boss, these are from the Shencheng Mint. There's nothing wrong with them."

At this time, the two small yellow croakers were worth almost five hundred yuan on the black market, and were very valuable. Boss Wang couldn't help but look at Xu Damao again, feeling a little surprised.

"Oh, you are very generous. It seems you have made a lot of money these days. If you have any good things, think about us. We are all in the same boat."

Xu Damao nodded repeatedly, "That's right, Boss, you don't know me yet, but I didn't fish these two out. I took them from my father as a gift to you."

Xu Damao, who had finally managed to deal with Boss Wang, left behind information about Zhu Xuefeng's compound and then Boss Wang spoke.

"Xiao San, do you know this boy?"

Li Lao San spat out the fruit peel in his mouth and said, "Boss, you know, I was caught by a kid twice. If I'm not mistaken, it might be this kid."

"So, this guy is very difficult to deal with. If you are not his opponent, then none of us can deal with him. Why didn't you say anything just now? Damn it, how could this slippery loach Damao be so generous all of a sudden and catch two small yellow croakers without blinking an eye.

Li Laosan was still immersed in deep hatred, thinking about how to take revenge, and did not respond. Seeing this, Boss Wang frowned and analyzed in a low voice.

"Or, let's not do this job. He is most likely an official, has good skills, and has helpers. We are here to make money and run away. It's not worth it to take the initiative to cause trouble. So many brothers are waiting for us. I think it's best to stay away from this matter."

Li Laosan was a little unhappy. This man had become a thorn in his heart and he almost died in his hands twice. But the eldest brother's words made sense and calmed his strong desire for revenge a little, but he still couldn't swallow this anger.

"Brother, what you said makes sense, but I just can't hold it in. I couldn't find him before, but now I know he's right in front of me, and I can't let him hide from me."

"Third brother, don't be impulsive. This kind of people have weapons in their hands. You come to him unarmed. Don't say that your kung fu is not as good as his. If this guy shoots, you won't be able to run away. Listen to me and put aside the thought of revenge."

Li Laosan was very unhappy, but what the eldest brother said made sense. If the other party just didn't shoot, he would not be his opponent. The only hope was a sneak attack. If he acted secretly and several brothers attacked together, there should be hope. But if the other party didn't abide by the code of conduct and shot directly, that would be troublesome and he might even lose several lives.

After thinking about it again, Li Lao San still didn't have a good idea, but the eldest brother always had a lot of ideas, so who knows, he might have a solution. "Brother, do you have any good ideas? I really can't bear this."
