Chapter 409

Xu Damao hurriedly put on a smile, picked up the demolition form that had just been placed on the table, and handed it to the director, saying:

"Stamp it, I'm from the District Demolition Office."

The director took it.

Xu Damao then said, "Actually, I think you don't need to investigate."

"This, I, you just need to set a time."

"I'll take you to their scrap-collecting den."

"One look and everything will be clear."

Hearing this, the director furrowed his brow involuntarily.

Xu Damao then said, "We can't let them prepare in advance, right?"

"We need to carry out a surprise raid."

"Otherwise they'll definitely falsify things behind our backs."

The director thought for a moment and asked, "What's your name?"

Xu Damao: "Xu Damao."

Director: "Xu Damao, what you say makes sense; can you now take us there for a bit?"

Xu Damao nodded and happily said, "Sure, that's no problem."

"But I think we should also call those two, that is, Shazhu, no, I mean He Yuzhu and Qin Huairu, and have them come along."

"Otherwise, if they all get together later, I'll really end up lying."

The director nodded, took the demolition form Xu Damao brought, glanced at it, then looked at Xu Damao and said:

"Well, uh, comrade, please go out and wait a moment."

"We have something to discuss."

Xu Damao nodded and walked out.

The director watched Xu Damao's back until he disappeared from her sight, then she withdrew her gaze, looked at the subordinate sitting opposite her, and said:

"I think this stamp shouldn't be applied yet."

"We need to wait until we verify things clearly before proceeding."

The subordinate nodded and said, "Yeah, I feel this person's words are a bit biased."

Director: "Yeah, let's go; let's follow him now to see what's really going on."

The director, with people, followed Xu Damao to the Siheyuan and explained the situation to Qin Huairu.

Qin Huairu gave Xu Damao a sideways glance, then looked at the director and said:

"Director, no matter how you verify it, the result of the verification isn't really important."

"Yesterday, I was with Shazhu, no, I mean my spouse."

"We would definitely not act like that."

Xu Damao snorted coldly and said:

"I think you're feeling guilty."

Qin Huairu glared at Xu Damao and said angrily:

"What do I have to feel guilty about? Huh?"

"What we've done is obvious to everyone in this courtyard."

"There's no need for you to add fuel to the fire and spout nonsense here."

Having said that, she looked at the director and continued:

"Do you think we could do something like that?"

"How old are these elderly people?"

"Could we still have them go scrap-picking?"

San Da Ma chimed in: "Exactly, Director."

As she spoke, she pointed to a subordinate beside the director and continued:

"Yesterday, this comrade came by."

"What I said is all true."

"Many people in our courtyard are here right now."

"If you don't believe me, you can ask them."

The subordinate nodded and said, "That's right, Eldest Uncle is a lonely elderly person."

Xu Damao: "Wait, how can Eldest Uncle be a lonely elderly person?"

"He has a nephew who is quite capable, and Eldest Aunt is still around too."

Director: "Xu Damao, don't speak yet; let her finish."

Xu Damao nodded.

Subordinate: "Second Elder and Third Elder, along with their wives, all have children."

"But the children aren't willing to take care of them."

"Now it's He Yuzhu and Qin Huairu who are looking after them."

Xu Damao: "You only know one part."

"You don't know the other part."

"I can't be bothered to waste words with you."

Just then, Shazhu walked in.

Seeing so many people present, he grinned and said:

Yo, there are so many people, it's lively, I'm saying.

He came up to Qin Huairu and asked:

Wife, I'm saying, why did you call me back?

Qin Huairu pointed at the director and introduced:

This is the director of the street office.

Shazhu glanced at the director and said:

I certainly know the director of the street office.

Director, nice to meet you.

The director smiled politely and said:

You too.

Qin Huairu: "The director this time brought people over to verify what San Da Ye said yesterday."

Shazhu: "Oh, director, is that so."

I really can't be the advanced one.

What advanced are you talking about?

If we become advanced, the couple will have to divorce tomorrow, hahaha.

The director laughed: "Really?"

Becoming advanced leads to divorce?

Shazhu followed with a foolish laugh.

The director then said: "Comrade He Yuzhu, we're looking for you, not just for this matter."

That Xu Damao said, you two tricked the elderly into going to that street to pick up trash.

Saying you let them pick trash to support you.

Shazhu's face darkened, he looked around, then fixed his gaze on Xu Damao.

He pointed at Xu Damao while walking toward him, "Xu Damao, I knew you'd be this troublemaker here."

All you did was hold in that foul fart, right?

After saying that, he grabbed Xu Damao's collar, ready to strike.

Xu Damao hurriedly said: "Hey hey hey, director, did you see that?"

I didn't lay a hand on him.

This Shazhu wants to fight at the drop of a hat.

Who in our courtyard hasn't been hit by him?

Look, his true colors are showing.

Hearing this, Shazhu frowned slightly, turned to glance at the director, then let go of Xu Damao.

He let out a cold snort, pointed at Xu Damao, and threatened:

You just wait for me.

Xu Damao not to be outdone, pointed at Shazhu and sneered:

You want me to wait?

You're threatening me, aren't you?

I tell you, I'm not afraid of you.

You wait, Shazhu.

You'll regret it.

Alright, let's stop the nonsense.

I'll take everyone to their trash-picking den to see, then everything will be clear.

Let's go.

After saying that, Xu Damao led the way toward the front courtyard.

The director and his aides exchanged a glance and followed.

Shazhu looked at their backs, then turned to Qin Huairu and asked worriedly:

Where are the three elders?

Qin Huairu let out a long sigh, shook her head, and said:

How would I know?

If we follow and see, we'll know.

Shazhu looked around, saw everyone had left, then lowered his voice and said:

What Xu Damao said might actually be true.

The eldest uncle and second elder probably betrayed us, conspiring with the third elder to deceive us.

Sigh, this really gives me a headache.

Qin Huairu, a bit impatient, said: "Alright, let's go see first."
