Chapter 224 Lou Xiao'e is leaving
Courtyard 101.
When grandma and little sister stepped into the yard, their faces were full of surprise.
In my grandmother's opinion, only rich and powerful people would live in such a courtyard, but now, the entire second courtyard and such a big house are hers.
Wang Tiedan never expected that there would be a huge disagreement in room allocation.
Wang Tiedan wanted his grandmother to live in the main house, which faced south and had plenty of light, which was good for the elderly's health. But his grandmother didn't care and insisted on living in the ear room next door, leaving the main house for Wang Tiedan to marry.
Wang Tiedan arranged for the younger sister to live in the west wing. According to the rules, this was where the second son and the daughter of the family lived. However, the younger sister had the same idea as her grandmother and also wanted to live in the ear room.
Having been used to being frugal all my life, when my life suddenly gets better, I can’t adapt.
How can this be done?
After much discussion, grandma finally moved into the east wing and my sister lived in the west wing.
The main house is temporarily reserved for my parents, one ear room will be used as a medicine room and warehouse, and the other ear room will be used as a guest room.
Wang Tiedan was not going to move in for the time being, and finally it was Qin Jingru who said she wanted to rent a room at the back, and my younger sister agreed immediately.
After tidying up the room, it’s time to prepare for the housewarming party in the evening.
Not many people were invited, including Shouhou's family, Dahan's family, then Nian Ye and Xu Damao. With Mr. Li and Qin Jingru, there were just enough people to fill two tables.
Without a chef but wanting to entertain the guests well, Wang Tiedan ordered two roast ducks and two main dishes from a nearby restaurant and had them pick up on time.
My younger sister and Qin Jingru can both make the remaining dishes such as stewed fish, stir-fried vegetables and meat, and they taste pretty good.
It's much easier to invite guests.
Wang Tiedan would simply take a look around Shouhou's house and Dahan's house and leave them alone. When the time came, Shouhou and Dahan would bring their families there in advance.
Next came Grandpa Nian. Wang Tiedan said something, and Grandpa Nian asked for the place, then took his two grandsons and strolled over.
Finally, it was Xu Damao's house. As soon as Wang Tiedan knocked on the door, Xu Damao opened it with a sneaky look on his face.
"Tiedan, you're here, come in, I have something to tell you."
"What's the matter? If it's not urgent, let's talk about it later when we have dinner."
"Listen to me."
Xu Damao pulled Wang Tiedan to sit at the table, on which were many packaged local specialties.
"Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui are planning to use drugs. At noon, they invited me to drink and try to get me to talk. What do you think, should we trick them?"
"Don't worry about us. If you want to cheat me, go ahead. I won't get involved. It's meaningless."
Xu Damao immediately recalled the rumors he spread about Yi Zhonghai and Sha Zhu. Comparing it with the incident of Liu Haizhong being beaten innocently and Yan Bugui's bait, the levels were different and it was indeed boring.
"Tiedan, you know me, think about it for me, I really want to trick them."
"Why, did they offend you?" Wang Tiedan asked.
Xu Damao really wanted to ask if it counted as trying to sow discord between us, but he couldn't say it out loud.
"You don't know, the two old guys are plotting against me. If they fail this time, they will definitely try again. I'm really afraid of being watched by them all the time. If I get drunk one day, it will be easy to get into trouble."
"So you want to give them a hard time so they won't dare plot against you in the future?"
"Yes, that's what it means!"
Seeing Xu Damao being so serious, Wang Tiedan felt that he should really help.
"What are you going to do?"
When mentioning this, Xu Damao chuckled.
"I pretended to be drunk in the afternoon and said that the old Chinese doctor was near Yanqing and Changping. I wanted to find someone to pretend to be the old Chinese doctor and sell them fake medicine. What do you think?"
"This is a good idea. Is there any problem?"
"I'm just afraid that there are omissions and I don't want to cause trouble, so you can give me some advice." Xu Damao said with a smile. He was afraid that if the follow-up was not handled properly, he would be sued again and would not be able to explain, so he wanted Wang Tiedan to think of a way to get out of it.
Wang Tiedan thought about it carefully and realized that there were indeed many loopholes. Yan Bugui would definitely call the police and find Xu Damao, which would implicate Wang Tiedan himself.
"When I think about it carefully, your method is really not good. It will easily implicate me."
"That's right, so please give me some advice." Xu Damao looked at Wang Tiedan with eyes full of expectation.
Wang Tiedan frowned and thought for a while, and suddenly he had an idea.
After hearing this, Xu Damao's eyes lit up.
“The effect is a bit slow.”
"Slow work makes fine work! Let's go to Yard 101. You go by yourself. I still need to get some vegetables."
"Okay, go ahead and do your thing. I'll go there myself."
As Xu Damao spoke, he picked up the local specialties on the table and went out together.
When it comes to social skills, Xu Damao is always online.
Time was a bit tight, so Wang Tiedan rode his bike very fast, picked up the roast duck and the ordered dishes, and rushed to Courtyard 101.
As soon as I turned into the alley, I saw a familiar car parked at the entrance.
Wang Tiedan felt pain in his legs as soon as he saw the bike. Just as he was about to pedal hard on the stirrups, he was stopped by a beautiful figure.
"Wang Tiedan, stop right there!"
With the food in his car, Wang Tiedan didn't dare to brake suddenly. He slowly stopped the car a long way away. When he turned around, he saw that it was Lou Xiaoe again.
It was not dark yet, and there were many passers-by, many of whom stopped and looked over here.
"Sister Xiao'e, why are you here?"
Wang Tiedan turned around and asked while pushing the car.
Lou Xiao'e walked over angrily, and before she said a word, she started sniffing Wang Tiedan. She first sniffed his coat, and when she didn't smell anything, she even wanted to take off his clothes.
Wang Tiedan was confused and tried to stop him.
"Sister Xiao'e, what are you doing? I'm sweating all over, what's there to smell?"
Lou Xiao'e didn't want to give up, but there were too many passers-by and she couldn't do too much.
"Wang Tiedan, I'm leaving tonight."
"Oh, then have a safe trip!" What else could Wang Tiedan say since they were not close friends to begin with.
Lou Xiao'e stared at Wang Tiedan, her heart struggling, but if she didn't ask, she would have no chance.
"Wang Tiedan, tell me the truth, was it you that night?"
Wang Tiedan's heart skipped a beat. What did that mean? She was discovered. That was impossible. When he left, Lou Xiao'e was sleeping soundly.
"Sister Xiao'e, I don't understand what you mean."
Lou Xiao'e grabbed Wang Tiedan's arm and unconsciously exerted force with her hand, as if she had made a great determination.
"Wang Tiedan, don't think I don't know anything. I was asleep, but I wasn't fully asleep. Under an apple tree, I remember that special smell. It was your smell. You can't fool me."
Wang Tiedan’s eyes suddenly widened. Was he really discovered?
That’s not right. If you had discovered it, you would have told me earlier and not waited until now.
"Sister Xiao'e, did you remember it wrongly?"
"You still don't admit it. I definitely didn't remember it wrongly!" Tears as big as beans began to well up in Lou Xiao'e's eyes. She felt that she had been greatly wronged and had no place to vent.
Wang Tiedan couldn't bear to see a woman cry, and he suddenly felt a little panicked. It seemed a bit unkind to refuse to admit it.
Just as he was about to speak, Lou Xiao'e gave him another critical hit.
"I'm not looking for you to take responsibility, I just want to tell you that I might be pregnant!"
After saying that, she turned and left.
Wang Tiedan was left alone, standing disheveled in the wind at the entrance of the alley.
