Siheyuan: The Final Winner

  Chapter 446 Xu Damao is so ambitious, Xu Ningan teaches his son

   After taking a shower.

  Jiang Pingan put on his clothes and was about to go out to Xu Damao's house.

  He Yushui brought a coat over, put it on him, and thoughtfully said:

   "It's getting cold now, so be careful and drink as little as you can at night."

  Jiang Pingan looked at her clear eyes, smiled slightly, and said:

   "It's just a few steps away, and I'm eating and drinking in the house again, no need."

  He Yushui glared at him, and said softly while arranging his clothes:

   "Come on, Xu Damao's house doesn't have a kang, and it's cold in the room at night!"

   "It's easy to wear this coat. If the drink gets hot, you can take it off."

   "Don't think I'm nagging, it's for your own good, how uncomfortable it is to catch a cold!"

  Jiang Pingan put his arm around her waist and pressed her face to her cheek, and said with a smile:

   "You're just nagging, I don't talk about you, you talk about me first."

  He Yushui blushed slightly, and whispered, "Get out of the way, I was cleaning just now, and I sweated a little."

   "Also, since you went to Xu Damao's house for dinner, I'll go home and cook."

   "Before I leave, I will warm the hot water for you. When I come back at night, I will warm my feet by myself before resting."

   "Oh, don't move your hands, it's not enough to bully me every day... um..."

  …

  Xu Damao's house.

   After Xu Ningan went to buy wine and came back, before Jiang Pingan came, he asked Xu Damao:

   "Da Mao, I haven't asked you during the day."

   "Tell me honestly, did you do something to offend Xiao'e?"

   Xu Damao lay weakly on the table, randomly grabbed a few peanuts and threw them into his mouth, hesitatingly said:

   "If I have to apologize to her for something, I guess it's like a widow in the country..."

   "But only Jiang Ping'an knows about this, Dad, do you think he said bad things about me?"

  Xu Ningan glared at him, shook his head and said, "Do you think Ping An likes to tell tales like you?"

  Xu Damao is doing mischief in the countryside, and the old couple already knew about it.

  Can they not know what kind of person their son is?

   Also earnestly tried to persuade him not to mess around outside, but it was useless.

  Talking too much, Xu Damao became impatient with them and didn't go home to see them for a long time.

  The couple only have one son and one daughter, and the daughter will always marry off in the future, so they can only rely on the son.

  So even if they know that Xu Damao has a bad style, they can only choose to forgive.

  Even after Lou Xiaoe entered the house, Xu Damao still went his own way and they could only help cover it.

   Otherwise, how could Xu Damao's private money be safely hidden in his hometown?

   Tan Yali, who was cooking in the kitchen, also came out and said:

   "Your dad is right, Ping An is in the yard, and he is notoriously tight-lipped."

  "You can't blame others for everything, you have to find the reason from yourself."

   After finishing speaking, he turned around and went back to cook.

  Xu Damao sighed and said: "After all, Lou Guangcheng still looks down on me."

   "I've gone over this matter over and over again, and after careful consideration, it should be that old thing who messed up."

   "Before, Xiao'e and I got along well. We even had children, and life is getting better and better."

   "Without Lou Guangcheng, even if Xiao'e wants to divorce me, it's impossible for her to have nothing."

  Xu Ningan frowned, and pondered: "Speaking of which, when Xiao'e gave birth, she was in the hospital for a few days."

   "Your mother and I feel that there is something wrong with Lou Guangcheng and his wife, and they are obviously alienated from you."

   "We saw it in our eyes and were anxious in our hearts. We couldn't figure out why Lou Guangcheng didn't like you."

   "If you really don't like it, why did you agree to your marriage with Xiao'e?"

  Xu Damao shook his head and said, "I don't really understand, I am very respectful in front of him."

   "But he often told Xiao'e in private that the small peasant consciousness in me is too strong to make a climate."

   "To put it bluntly, it's not that I dislike my family background being inferior to the Lou family, and I dislike my worthlessness..."

   "But they don't even think about it. If I want a good family background, won't I marry a good family background? Do I have to marry Xiao'e?"

  Xu Ning'an sighed and said, "You're right too!"

   "Back when we tried every means to get you to marry Xiao'e, didn't we want to use the Lou family to make you develop better?"

   "But things backfired, the Lou family was able to be ruthless, and they just didn't help you at all these years."

   "So, it's better to ask yourself than to ask for others. You should stop swaying around in the future, and you should take care of yourself."

  At this time Tan Yali came out again and asked Xu Damao: "I heard someone in the courtyard say.

   "You asked Ping An to help you with this salary upgrade, why didn't you get promoted?"

  Xu Ningan sneered and said, "It's not because he drank a few mouthfuls of cat urine that he couldn't tell the difference between east, west, and north."

  Today, he also asked many people in the yard about this matter.

   Soon he knew that Xu Damao looked forward when employing people, and looked backward when not using people.

  As soon as the application for promotion was submitted, Xu Damao refused to recognize Jiang Ping'an, saying that he got rich by luck.

   Is this what people say?

  Jiang Ping'an has been promoted several times within a year or two.

   Once or twice is luck, but countless leapfrog promotions, that is true skill.

  After hearing this, Xu Ningan wished he could kill his son and have another one.

  I've seen someone worthless, but I've never seen someone so worthless.

  What a good backer Jiang Ping'an is, he is the director, so many people can't keep up with him!

  Xu Damao was lucky, everyone helped him, so he backstabbed backhandedly.

  It is unacceptable for him to be able to upgrade in this way.

  After listening to Xu Ningan's account of the whole story, Tan Yali also hated iron for being weak.

  She gritted her teeth, walked up to Xu Damao, nodded Xu Damao's forehead with her fingers, and said:

   "You are quite a shrewd person, why do you get confused every time it is critical?"

   "Is Ping'an not good to you? Why do you usually flatter him?"

   "Since you want to flatter, keep flattering to the end, why can't you calm down?"

   Xu Damao was left speechless by what his mother said, and now he regrets it too much.

  Speaking of which, the two major incidents that happened to him recently were all because of his drinking mistakes.

   One is a salary upgrade, and the other is divorce from Lou Xiaoe.

   Of these two things, one is related to career development, and the other is related to family happiness.

   Well, it's all because he drank alcohol and suffered a lot!

  After Tan Yali finished training her son, seeing Xu Damao's dejected appearance, her heart softened again.

  She said in a gentle voice: "Da Mao, your father and I are getting old, and there is not much we can do to help you."

   "If you don't live up to your expectations, you will only be the one who suffers in the future."

   "Also, after you come back safely later, you have to apologize to him, and we will also help ease the relationship."

   "You are also confused. If you have such a solid relationship and don't maintain it well, why are you jealous?"

  Xu Ningan snorted twice and said, "Aren't you so ambitious that you can't see yourself clearly?"

   "As long as he has the slightest self-knowledge, he will not compare with Ping An."

   "It's also fortunate that Ping An is magnanimous. It is probably because of the face of our two elders that I didn't care about you this time."

   "Otherwise, with his contacts in the rolling mill, it would be like playing with you..."
