Chapter 333: Old Xu is depressed, Lou Xiaoe takes credit
Nanluoguxiang
Lin Chen arrived on time and happened to meet Lao Xu who came back dejectedly.
Xu Wude doesn’t even dare to report to the police now...let alone find someone to complain to.
"Old Xu, what a coincidence that you're back from your stroll as well?"
When Xu Wude heard Lin Chen's voice coming from behind him, he stopped and smiled bitterly.
"Brother Lin, it's such a coincidence that I meet you here. I'll go out for a walk."
Lin Chen thought to himself, "Let me keep the little yellow croaker for you! You don't dare to spend it now, do you?"
Now that Lao Xu saw Lin Chen, his danger value increased a few points.
"If this guy hadn't stolen my account book, I wouldn't have to worry at all. Although these are gone, I can always get them back from the Lou family... Now everything is over."
Lin Chen looked at Old Xu, whose sinisterness value had increased a little. After all, he had cut off his way of extorting money from the Lou family...
Now Lao Xu is very angry and can't help but vent.
"Brother Lin is living a wonderful life now! He got married, had children, and got promoted. He is so lucky!"
Old Xu thought that a few years ago, the other party was still a young boy... playing and fighting in the yard every day, how come he became so successful after getting married in the past two years? Could it be that Qin Huairu really brought good luck to the Lin family?
Xu Wood felt a series of dissatisfaction in his heart.
Lin Chen noticed the sourness in the other person's tone, so he laughed.
"It's not bad! Better than a few years ago, thanks to my serious study of the craft from my grandfather."
When Xu Wude heard "It's OK", he immediately became more jealous. It's not just OK, it's very OK. You're making over a hundred dollars a month now, and you're still not satisfied?
Seeing that Lao Xu didn't say anything, Lin Chen wanted to tease him. The more miserable you are, the happier I am...
For many years, Lao Xu had been dissatisfied with the whole courtyard and had been planning to move out. But his son and his wife both wanted a new house and started a fight with the people in the courtyard.
In Xu Damao's words, if the Xu family moved away, it would mean they couldn't beat them. Old Xu thought about it and realized that this was the reason, so he stayed...
"Old Xu, the Liu family has already started to look for a daughter-in-law. Your family will be ready soon, right? Damao will be eighteen after the Chinese New Year... If you act early, you can pick a good one."
Lin Chen's mention of this matter was originally a happy thing for Xu Wude, after all, he had just tripped up the Liu family.
But the bad thing was that the ten small yellow croakers he had hidden were stolen... He no longer had the ability to marry a daughter-in-law of high status, and now he had become an ordinary resident of the courtyard house.
"Don't worry, Damao is still young..."
While the two were talking, they had already returned to the courtyard.
Lou Xiao'e brought Ran Qiuye to visit the children. When Lin Chen arrived at the backyard, the two were sitting on either side of Qin Huairu...
"Brother Lin Chen, you're back! We thought you wouldn't be back for lunch!"
The three of them saw Lin Chen coming back at the same time, and only Lou Xiao'e greeted him in a crisp voice.
It was because Lin Chen saw them coming to visit that he declined Commander Wu's invitation to stay for a drink.
"Well, I came back after finishing my work! What a coincidence that you came to visit me."
After saying hello, Lin Chen immediately turned around and glared fiercely in the direction of the new house where the long-faced man lived.
Because the three-dimensional map is now open...even if Lin Chen doesn't look, he knows the trajectory of all the people around him.
Xu's side
The long face that was peeking at Lou Xiao'e and Ran Qiuye through the window was startled.
Lin Chen's eyes just now were like those of a ferocious tiger. Xu Damao felt as if he fell into an ice cellar after being glared at.
After scaring off Xu Damao, Lin Chen walked towards the others...
"I accompanied Qiu Ye home after school yesterday, and we went shopping in Wangfujing this morning. I came to see my nephew when I passed by your house..."
Ran Qiuye was not as brave as Lou Xiaoe. She sat next to Qin Huairu like a good girl.
The last two times we held hands and kissed each other were in the dark at night, so there was not much shyness.
Now when she saw Brother Lin Chen again, she felt a little unnatural. After all, she was still young and could not hide her inner feelings...
After they returned to the house, the smell of food was already coming from the kitchen. Qin Huairu saw the two little sisters coming, so she naturally arranged for Wang to add more dishes.
As soon as Lou Xiao'e arrived, she asked Qin Huairu for credit... saying that she helped to take down Ran Qiuye, and Qin Huairu even praised her for her ability.
"Brother Lin Chen, I told my parents what you arranged. They are still a little worried about me staying in Sijiu City alone..."
Lin Chen had guessed this a long time ago. Under normal circumstances, the parents would not be willing to leave their children behind. However, the old man of the An family seemed to be an exception...
Last week, Lin Chen arranged what Lou Xiao'e and Ran Qiuye would say after returning home. Last night, Lou Xiao'e accompanied Ran Qiuye home... and told Ran's parents that the Lou family had a boat and connections to leave... and sent them back to Malaysia safely.
Ran's parents also believed in the Lou family's ability, and they wanted to take their daughter with them. Still hesitating...
Lin Chen went to ask Commander Wu for help today, just to find a way out for the Ran family. It is better to go out and enjoy happiness than to suffer in the Forty-Nine City...
"Don't worry. They will be relieved when you grow up after the Chinese New Year. You can visit them often after the shipping line is opened..."
Ran Qiuye nodded. She also knew that it was only a matter of time before her parents wanted to leave.
Qin Huairu just received ten small yellow croakers from her man and was in a very good mood... She strongly supported taking down Ran Qiuye. One small yellow croaker was enough for the little girl to eat and drink for two years. It's not like she couldn't afford it...
"Brother Lin Chen, take Qiu Ye to Xia's Hutong next week! There are too many people in the Siheyuan... You can't come here often."
Lin Chen thought that he had already got the reward for intercepting the enemy, so of course he could take him to Xia Family Hutong.
"No problem, just let Xiao'e take her there."
After hearing this, Lou Xiaoe winked at Ran Qiuye...it would be fine as long as Sister Huairu agreed.

West House
After returning home, Lao Xu got some peanuts and started drinking alone.
The loss this time is really huge, although it is not my own, but I have warmed it from my own hands!
And it was already warm... It was sneaked away like this, which really made me angry.
After being glared at by Lin Chen, Xu Damao didn't dare to look at him again. When he returned home, he saw that his father was in a bad mood.
"Dad, shouldn't you be happy that you messed with the Liu family? He was fine when I left this morning. What happened now? Who messed with you again? I'm going to settle the score with him..."
After finishing the glass of wine in one gulp, Lao Xu sighed. Only he and his wife knew about this. Now that it's lost, there's no point in telling his son...
"You won't understand even if I tell you. Take care of your lunch yourself! I want to drink and go to sleep."
Seeing that his father was unhappy, Xu Damao didn't dare to touch the nail, so he turned around and left...
Over the years, he had figured out his parents' personalities - a good son is born under the stick. They were particularly strict with him, but with his sister - they raised the son poorly and the daughter well.
This makes it impossible to reason...
"Okay, okay, drink less. I'll go get you a bowl of noodles with soybean paste..."
