Chapter 79: Talking Too Much When Drunk

~8 min read 1,418 words

Li Xuewu drank alcohol, and his brain reacted a bit slowly.

Swaying back to the security team dormitory, he poured a large jar of hot water, and the alcohol gas flowed out from the back of his head with sweat before he was considered sober.

Looking at his daughter being held and turned around by the team members, listening to the child's "giggle" laughter, Li Xuewu revealed the tenderness of an iron man.

"Alright, don't make my daughter stupid by teasing her."

Saying that, he packed his luggage and took the child wrapped in a quilt.

Ignoring the team members' obstruction, Li Xuewu held the child, carried the bundle, and went out the door.

"You all rest, I'm going back."

Out of the gate, seeing no one around, he threw the bundle into the space, only holding the child and swaying toward home.

The weather was good tonight, the moon was big, there was light on the road, and he went straight home without a word.

First, he went to the Bai Bai Xiyuan, opened the door with a key, and placed the wood from the space neatly against the wall of the only remaining inverted room.

Seven kinds of wood totaling 300 cubic meters, enough for his own renovation and making furniture. He would let Wen San'er and the others sell the rest when the time came.

There was no problem with storing wood in the Bai Bai Xiyuan. Although some people knew that the Bai Bai Xiyuan was in his hands, the gate was locked all day, and there was an electric net on the high wall, so who would come into the courtyard to see his wood for no reason?

He didn't take out the rest of the goods because there were no storage conditions here.

After the first transaction, Li Xuewu realized that he couldn't succeed without the cover of an official identity, so Li Xuewu planned to use this small courtyard to make a fuss.

The small courtyard could be built as an office for some kind of formal official identity, and along with the construction, there would be a warehouse for the storage of local specialties in the future.

The first thing was to build warehouses on the west, north, and east sides of the small courtyard, and the warehouse on the north side had to be a deep underground basement type.

This way, it looked like a row of ordinary tile-roofed houses from above, but in fact, it was a two-story space combined up and down.

The basement could store goods that couldn't see the sun, and the top could store normal items.

Secondly, it was to build a few tile-roofed houses at the location of the original inverted room in the West Cross Courtyard to be used as a store.

Now Li Xuewu already had the idea of hanging an official identity, but he had to find a way to realize it. The plan for the small courtyard was temporarily like this, and there would be changes later.

It seemed that the renovation of the house could be delayed, but the construction of the small courtyard must be put on the agenda. The wood couldn't be sold, it had to be used for building the warehouse.

Thinking about things, he locked the gate, prepared to put away the bicycle, send the child home, and then drive the horse cart to Wen San'er's house to ship the goods.

Holding the child, he took out the bicycle and pushed it into the gate of the Sihe Academy, just bumping into Qin Huairu who was going out.

"Qin Jie, going out?"

Qin Huairu was startled by a person in the dark, and only knew who it was after hearing Li Xuewu speak.

"Ah, I'm going to the toilet. You just came back? What are you holding?"

Li Xuewu knew that Qin Huairu saw him go to eat and drink with Vice Factory Director Li, so he didn't say anything, just nodded and said: "Yes, just came back."

Qin Huairu saw that what Li Xuewu was holding looked like a child, but Li Xuewu didn't explain, so she didn't dare to ask.

Not knowing what kind of mind it was, Qin Huairu leaned in front of Li Xuewu and whispered: "A few days ago, the Third Master went to the neighborhood office to report you, said a lot of bad things about you, and also talked about your house."

Li Xuewu was shocked and asked in a low voice: "Qin Jie, how do you know?"

Qin Huairu said mysteriously: "My mother-in-law went to the neighborhood office to ask about the minimum living security in the city, you know, for Banggeng's tuition. I heard that those below the minimum security can be exempted from tuition and miscellaneous fees. My mother-in-law saw the Third Master pulling Director Wang and talking in the courtyard of the neighborhood office."

Li Xuewu felt relieved after hearing it was with his godmother. The godmother didn't come over, so it must have been handled. This Third Master was really lacking in discipline.

Li Xuewu said calmly: "It's okay, Qin Jie, a straight body is not afraid of a crooked shadow, let him say whatever he wants."

Qin Huairu saw that Li Xuewu didn't have a strong reaction, her expression moved, and then said: "It's just that you are honest, you met a noble person. That Director Wang showed the Third Master the coordination letter from your factory, said that false accusation is to bear legal responsibility, scolded the Third Master, and drove him back. When I came back, the Third Master was not even in the mood to watch the movie."

Qin Huairu was retaliating against the Third Master for saying that sentence about Banggeng. This woman really held a grudge. She didn't dare to find the Third Master to take revenge, so she played tricks with him here.

Li Xuewu smiled and said: "People who like to talk behind your back and fabricate stories have no more than three reasons: they haven't reached your level; you have things they don't have; they want to live the same life as you but don't have the conditions."

Qin Huairu looked at Li Xuewu with wide, flashing eyes, only feeling that these words were truly good.

Qin Huairu hurriedly made way, and Li Xuewu rubbed past Qin Huairu and entered the courtyard.

Not to mention, this little widow is really damn well-endowed.

Qin Huairu went to the toilet with red eyes and a red face.

Li Xuewu parked the bicycle and lifted the door curtain and entered the room.

The family was lying on the kang preparing to sleep. Seeing Li Xuewu return with a vertical bundle, the old lady and the others in the north room were very surprised.

Liu Yin sat up and put on her clothes and asked: "Why come back so late? You didn't let anyone bring a letter when you left. Your father was panicked when he saw you hadn't returned for a long time and ran to the factory to ask, only to know you went on a business trip. He ran too fast and fell to the ground, bruising his knees. You can't do this next time."

Liu Yin nagged, and felt sorry for her son, asking: "Have you eaten dinner? What are you holding?"

Seeing Li Xuewu return, Li Shun originally wanted to scold him, but was broken by his mother, so he felt uncomfortable on his face, hummed, turned his side to pretend to sleep, and didn't look at Li Xuewu.

Li Xuewu panted with alcohol and replied softly: "Mom, I ate. I drank with the factory leaders after eating, so I came back late. Let you worry."

While speaking, he threw the bundle he took out at the door onto his sleeping place, held the child, and gently placed it in the middle of Liu Yin and Li Shun on the east kang.

Liu Yin was still nagging: "You child, ran for so long, and didn't come back early to rest, went to drink what wine... ah! This is...!"

Before Liu Yin's nagging was finished, she was frightened by the pink and jade-carved child revealed by Li Xuewu opening the bundle.

This little child saw someone looking at him and waved his little hands, kicking his little legs.

Seeing that the child was brought back by her son, Liu Yin was afraid of any situation, so she couldn't help but cover her mouth.
