Courtyard House: Is Xu Damao a childless man? Let me help.

I've thought it through. It'll be more convenient for me to buy the house myself.

"Okay, don't worry, Sister Xiao'e. I'll ask Old Chen tonight."

After saying that, Ye Jianchuan paused for a moment, then spoke again, "By the way, Sister Xiao'e, did you go to complete the divorce procedures with Xu Damao today?"

Lou Xiao'e paused for a moment, then shook her head. "No... After I dropped the two girls off at school, I couldn't find Xu Damao when I came back."

I'll go see him again tonight and pick up his clothes and other things while I'm at it.

Ye Jianchuan nodded, then said, "Sister Xiao'e, if you're looking for Xu Damao, it's best to bring me and Sister Qin along. Don't go looking for him alone."

Otherwise, if he cries one day, and you soften your heart, you'll fall for that Xu Damao guy again.

Moreover, with so many of us present, Xu Damao wouldn't dare to make any unnecessary moves.

After chatting with Lou Xiao'e for a few more minutes, Ye Jianchuan checked the time and realized it was time to get off work, so he turned to look at Lou Xiao'e.

"Sister Xiao'e, it's almost time to cook. Let's eat together tonight!"

Lou Xiao'e had no objections and immediately agreed. Then, led by Ye Jianchuan, she went to Ye Jianchuan's house and began to help knead the dough and make steamed buns.

Ye Jianchuan, on the other hand, took out the cured meat that the system had rewarded him with, cut some into a stir-fry with cabbage, and then casually made a stir-fried potato shred and a stir-fried egg.

Ye Jianchuan had finished preparing three dishes when Qin Huairu picked up the two girls from school. So Ye Jianchuan invited everyone to sit down and have dinner together.

　130 After dinner, the three chatted for a few minutes when they heard the door of the next room open. That was Lou Xiao'e's old place, which meant that Xu Damao had finally returned.

Lou Xiao'e, Ye Jianchuan, and Qin Huairu exchanged glances, then got up and knocked on Xu Damao's door.

When Xu Damao opened the door, he saw Lou Xiao'e. He was about to beg for forgiveness when he said, "Xiao'e... come back and stay here. I was wrong. I'll never make that mistake again!"

However, Lou Xiao'e had already lost all sense of purpose at this point. With a stern face, she said, "Xu Damao, I just want to discuss with you when you have time to get the divorce certificate."

Upon hearing Lou Xiao'e's words, Xu Damao's expression changed instantly, and the slightly pleading look he had just given her vanished.

"Fine!! Lou Xiao'e!! You're really ruthless! You must have already figured out the divorce, right? You only want to divorce me because you see I can't have children!"

"Divorce, huh? Fine, let's get divorced! We'll get divorced tomorrow! Tomorrow morning!!!"

After saying that, Xu Damao was about to turn around and go inside when Lou Xiao'e immediately blocked the door and said, "Fine!! We'll get a divorce tomorrow, but I'm moving all my things out today!"

Chapter 87 Four Hundred and Fifty-One Courtyard Side Room

When Xu Damao heard Lou Xiao'e say she needed to move her things, he immediately thought of the small box containing her dowry, which held dozens of goldfish! He could get a divorce, but he couldn't let Lou Xiao'e take her dowry.

Xu Damao immediately turned around and glared fiercely at Lou Xiao'e. "No way! We can get a divorce! But everything in my house is mine! You can't take a single thing with you!"

Lou Xiao'e was startled by Xu Damao's kick and immediately turned to look at Qin Huairu and Ye Jianchuan beside her. Qin Huairu immediately stepped forward.

"Xu Damao! What do you mean? Lou Xiao'e brought her own clothes and blankets to live in my house, does that mean all those women's clothes are yours?"

Xu Damao was taken aback for a moment, then asked suspiciously, "Just to take clothes?"

Just as Qin Huairu was about to say yes, Ye Jianchuan walked over and said, "Of course it's not just clothes. We're taking away Xiao'e's share of things like blankets, bowls, chopsticks, and benches!"

Xu Damao frowned. "Qin Huairu's little shabby house? Can it even fit all this stuff? You didn't encourage her to ask for these things, did you?"

Ye Jianchuan didn't intend to hide anything and said directly, "Don't worry about that. Anyway, we have plenty of places to put these things. Just tell us if you'll let us move them or not!"

If they won't let us, we'll go find Uncle Yi and his men, and ask them to uphold justice!

Xu Damao dared not reveal his divorce. Right now, only the few people in front of him knew about his 'hidden illness,' and it was even uncertain whether Qin Huairu knew about it.

However, if things get out of hand, if Lou Xiao'e really tells everyone in the compound that she can't have children, then with those loudspeakers in the compound, it won't be more than a week before most of the people in Beijing know about it!

So after thinking for a moment, Xu Damao finally nodded and said, "Okay!! Move it, move it! But you have to discuss with me what you're moving first!"

对于许大茂的这句话，娄晓娥三人倒是没有『内，部/群』:9.8"0'2？0"5。8'5,6绝许大茂的这个要求，毕竟打一开始三人就没准备去拿娄晓娥的那个嫁妆。

The reason she chose to bring more furniture and other items was to give Xu Damao the illusion that Lou Xiao'e didn't care at all, or that she had already forgotten about the box of goldfish.

After Lou Xiao'e takes these things, as long as Xu Damao confirms that all the goldfish are still there, then if any gold bars are lost in the future, Lou Xiao'e will no longer be suspected.

And so, the four of them went into Xu Damao's house together and began to pick out clothes one by one. Lou Xiao'e was not polite at all. With Qin Huairu's help, she first took all her clothes away.

Then he took three quilts and mattresses from the wardrobe and bed. Although they were not valuable, they were still personal items, so it was understandable that he took them.

Afterwards, Lou Xiao'e picked out two stools, a dressing table, and a large cabinet from her home. With the help of Ye Jianchuan and Qin Huairu, some of these items were moved to Qin Huairu's house, and the rest to Ye Jianchuan's house.

Unfortunately, Qin Huairu's house was simply too small to fit all these things.

However, after seeing Lou Xiao'e move some of these things to Ye Jianchuan's house, Xu Damao felt relieved.

In his view, this was nothing more than Ye Jianchuan and Qin Huairu taking advantage of a small thing. Although these things were somewhat useful to him, they were far inferior to those dozens of goldfish.

After helping Lou Xiao'e "move" was completed, Ye Jianchuan also came to the Intermediate People's Court and knocked on the door of Old Chen's house.

When Old Chen opened the door and saw Ye Jianchuan, he warmly welcomed him inside, because Old Chen's wife had seen Ye Jianchuan return with his bicycle that day.

Since you're so young and already own a bicycle, there's nothing shameful about trying to please others a little, right?

"Uncle Chen, I'm so sorry to bother you so late."

Old Chen quickly waved his hand, "No, no, we haven't rested yet either. Jianchuan, what brings you here?"

Ye Jianchuan didn't bother with any more pleasantries and went straight to the point: "Uncle Chen, Aunt Chen, I heard from others that you're planning to sell this house?"

Old Chen paused for a moment, then nodded. "That's right, I've reached retirement age. All the formalities have been completed, and I'm just handing over my responsibilities at work these next few days."

After I retire, I want to take your aunt back to our hometown in Northeast China. Our whole family lives there, so it will be more lively when we go back.

"What? Jianchuan, your house and our house are about the same size, right? Are you thinking of buying our house?"

Ye Jianchuan nodded, then shook his head. "It is indeed about buying a house, but it's not that I want to buy your family's house."

Uncle Chen, could you tell me how much you plan to sell this house for?

Old Chen pondered for a moment, exchanged a glance with his wife, and then said, "Jianchuan, for your sake, I'll give you a fair price. This room, you can give me five hundred and fifty yuan."

When Ye Jianchuan heard the amount of 550 yuan, he was actually a little excited.

If you spend a little over 500 yuan to buy a house in a courtyard house of several dozen square meters, then decades later, that 500 yuan might become more than 5 million yuan!

However... after regaining his senses, Ye Jianchuan compared the prices horizontally and realized that the price of 550 yuan was actually not cheap.

Because, in a horizontal comparison, the house that Sha Zhu and his family lived in, plus the room that He Yushui is currently living in, is much larger than Lao Chen's room.

However, the house that Sha Zhu and his family own can only be sold for a little over 600. In comparison, if Old Chen's house can be sold for around 450, that would be considered quite good.

So Ye Jianchuan shook his head and said, "Uncle Chen, if you really want to sell, I'll give you a price: four hundred and fifty yuan. That should be the market price, right?"

After hearing Ye Jianchuan's offer, Old Chen hesitated for a moment before speaking again.

“Jianchuan, how about we add a little more? We’ve been neighbors for over ten years. I feel at ease handing this house over to you!”

"Just add a little more, and we'll handle all the paperwork and paperwork later!"

Chapter 88 Finally, they discovered their house had been robbed.

Since Old Chen had said so, Ye Jianchuan was very generous and gave a final price with a wave of his hand: "Alright, Uncle Chen, I'll give you four hundred and seventy yuan."

However, as for any transaction, I estimate it won't be possible to complete it by tomorrow. You'll have to wait a few days, is that alright with you?

With these conditions, what reason did Lao Chen have to hesitate? So in the end, he decisively agreed.

After asking about the price, Ye Jianchuan returned to Qin Huairu's home in the backyard.

"Sister Xiao'e, I've asked around for you. Old Chen's family wanted 550 yuan for their house, but I negotiated it down to 470 yuan."

If you've decided to buy it, then get the money ready and go see Old Chen in the next few days to get the paperwork done.

Upon hearing the price, Lou Xiao'e nodded. "Okay, after I finish the divorce proceedings with Xu Damao tomorrow, I'll go home and ask my dad for the money!"

As the group was chatting, Xiao Dang suddenly ran over and exclaimed, "Mom!!! My candy is gone from the cupboard, did you take it?"

Xiao Huaihua, who had run over with Xiao Dang, also spoke up, saying, "The candy that Huaihua put in the cupboard is also gone."

Qin Huairu was taken aback upon hearing this, then asked, "The candy is gone? Did you eat it and forget about it?"

As she spoke, Qin Huairu stood up and went to the cabinet to help her two daughters search through it.

But as she rummaged through the things, Qin Huairu noticed something was wrong. Although the house was indeed neat and tidy, the things in her cabinet had been turned upside down and were in a mess.

Moreover, all the eggs I had put in the cupboard were gone, which couldn't be explained by the two little girls secretly eating the candy because they were greedy.

Seeing Qin Huairu rummaging through the cabinet for a while, and then her expression turning strange, Lou Xiao'e stood up, walked over to Qin Huairu, and asked her what was wrong.

"Sister Qin, what are you looking for?"

Qin Huairu waved her hand and said, "It's no big deal if a few candies or eggs are missing from the house."

Upon hearing Qin Huairu's words, Ye Jianchuan immediately suspected something: "The candy and eggs are missing? Could it be that Bang Geng came to steal them?"

Qin Huairu's expression turned somewhat unpleasant upon hearing Ye Jianchuan's words.

Although Bang Geng is indeed his own son, the things this son said to him before were very hurtful.

Now, her own son has actually stolen from her again, and Qin Huairu really doesn't know what to do.

Call the police? Even if the stolen items weren't worth much, and even if something valuable was lost, it's still her son! Could Qin Huairu really bear to call the police?

But what if we just pretend not to see it? If the thieves get a taste of success, they won't just steal from us anymore, they'll start stealing from other people's houses. And if they get caught again, no one will let them off the hook!

So after thinking for a moment, Qin Huairu felt that she should take this opportunity to discipline Banggeng.

"No way! I'm going to find Bang Geng and ask him directly! If he really took it, I'm going to teach him a lesson!"

After saying that, Qin Huairu turned to walk out the door, but Ye Jianchuan spoke up at that moment.

"Sister Qin, before you go there, I have to remind you of something. Just now you were deliberately avoiding the fact that the act of sticking is theft, which is wrong."

Currently, only a few of us know about this, and we won't go around spreading it around. But if your attitude towards this matter is still defined as 'taking', then I think Bang Geng will ultimately still not take it seriously!

You need to clearly explain the consequences to him, making it clear that taking something without permission is stealing. Otherwise, he might really be unable to break his habit of petty theft.

Qin Huairu was also a little worried after hearing Ye Jianchuan's words. After hesitating for a moment, she finally nodded firmly.

"Jianchuan, I'll listen to you. Taking something without asking is stealing, and Banggeng stole this time! I'm going to teach him a lesson right now!"

After saying that, Qin Huairu turned and walked out, leaving Ye Jianchuan and Lou Xiao'e looking at each other in the room.
