Era: Life's Big Winner

Chapter 111 Sophora japonica: Not going back!
"Di Di..."

The car stopped at the gate of the courtyard. Wang Cuilan, He Wenhui and others had received the news in advance and were there to greet them.

"Amitabha... I'm back, finally back!" Wang Cuilan walked forward with a smile.

Liu Hongchang opened the door and got out of the car, smiling and shouting, "Mom!"

"Hey!" Wang Cuilan smiled and responded. She stepped forward to take a look and sighed, "I've been away for another half a year. It's not easy!"

Huaihua also followed behind and called out "Auntie".

Behind Wang Cuilan followed He Wenhui, He Wenyuan and Zhou Hao, with He Wenyuan and Zhou Hao each holding a child.

Liu Fujin was over three years old and was as pretty as a piece of jade. She was struggling and shouting in He Wenyuan's arms, and stretched out her arms to go into Liu Hongchang's arms.

The child in Zhou Hao's arms had just turned one year old. He was He Wenhui's second son, and was named Liu Fuduo.

Liu Hongchang first went forward and hugged He Wenhui, then took Liu Fujin from He Wenyuan. Just as he was about to return to the courtyard, he heard Xu Damao shout from behind: "Boss Liu, did you just get back?"

A few years later, Xu Damao finally came out of the shadow of unemployment and divorce and started some small business, but he is still single.

I just heard Huaihua say in the car that Xu Damao and the former director Li of the steel rolling mill have recently got in touch and are preparing to form a partnership.

He was wearing a shirt and leather shoes, with a briefcase under his arm, his hair was combed shiny, and he looked very high-spirited, probably planning to make a lot of money.

"Uh, Xu Damao?" Liu Hongchang looked back and nodded with a smile, "Didn't you go to the countryside to buy vegetables and fruits?"

Xu Damao glanced at Liu Fujin and Liu Fuduo, a trace of envy flashed in his eyes, and he shook his head and replied: "No, I can't keep doing small things, so I'm doing foreign trade recently to make a lot of money for my retirement."

He turned his head to look at the car parked at the door and said, "Boss Liu's business is still thriving..."

Before I could finish my words, I heard Sha Zhu from across the street loudly ask, "Huaihua, do you want to go home for lunch?"

In recent years, Sha Zhu has aged faster. He is in his early fifties but looks like he is in his sixties or seventies. His hair is half white and his face looks very weathered.

Firstly, his work was not going well, and secondly, Qin Huairu did not give birth to a child for him. Although he did not talk about it often, he always had a knot in his heart.

He always wanted to save face and liked to compete with Xu Damao the most.

Xu Damao seems to have no wife or children, but Qin Huiyang and Qin Huijing, who were nominally born to Qin Jingru, are believed by outsiders to be Xu Damao's.

In this way, Xu Damao can be said to have both a son and a daughter. No matter whether the children will recognize him in the future or not, he always has hope.

So Xu Damao often showed off with Sha Zhu. He no longer competed with Sha Zhu to see who was richer or braver, but only compared his children with him.

Every time this is mentioned, Shazhu can still make a fuss the first or second time, but after too many times, he becomes speechless and feels depressed.

Unfortunately, Qin Huairu is old now, and it is impossible for her to have another child.

Sha Zhu was getting old, and it was futile for him to remarry, so the dissatisfaction in his heart slowly accumulated, and the more it accumulated, the more he became silent, whether at home or outside.

He only has things to say to Huaihua, not because he has any bad intentions, but because Huaihua is the closest to him in the family.

"Eat together." Wang Cuilan reminded.

Huaihua responded with a smile, then turned around and said with a smile, "Silly dad, I'm having dinner at my boss's house, so I won't be going back."

After saying that, he trotted over to tell the driver to drive away and come back early tomorrow morning. "Go back! It's a bit hot and humid today, and it's going to rain." Liu Hongchang smiled at everyone.

So the family returned to the yard in a lively manner. Xu Damao breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing that Liu Hongchang's family was harmonious and prosperous, he secretly envied them.

"Don't look at him. He is a big boss now and is not on the same level as us." Sha Zhu said sourly.

Xu Damao snorted, and shook his head as he walked, "It's not the same anymore. He distanced himself from us a few years ago. But when I make some money before the New Year, I will have some confidence and can barely strike up a conversation with Mr. Liu and ask him to take me under his wing."

"Hehe, Mr. Liu, weren't you just a cook like me a few years ago?" Sha Zhu said with a sneer.

Xu Damao looked back at him and said with a smile: "You are a cook yourself, and you still look down on cooks?"

"Besides, it's pointless to talk about those random things from the past. Do you know what Mr. Liu is now? He's a billionaire! He doesn't spend too much money. Tsk tsk, if some of it slips through his fingers, it will be enough for us to have a good life."

Seeing that Sha Zhu was still unconvinced, he continued, "Let's not talk about others, just talk about Nan Yi. He is also a cook, and now his salary has increased to 3,000 yuan a month, and he also has various benefits. Is it because his cooking skills are better than yours? No, it's because Mr. Liu promoted him!"

Sha Zhu choked and said, "Didn't Yu Li ask me to be the chef before and gave me two thousand a month? It's not worse than Nan Yi."

"But you've only been in school for a few months, and you've already been stabbed in the back by your apprentice." Xu Damao said with a smile, "It's not easy to do private work now, right?"

Sha Zhu fell silent. He was stabbed in the back by his fat disciple. Although he had expected it, it really hurt him when it happened.

Now it seems that he is indeed no match for Liu Hongchang. Liu Hongchang has such a large group of people under him, but he has never heard of anyone stabbing him in the back. He only has a few registered disciples, but he has made a mess of things.

What made Sha Zhu even more depressed was that he had less work recently, and Ma Hua, who was loyal to him, got in touch with someone and went to work in Liu Hongchang's private restaurant after telling him about it.

But he has no power to restrict MCA.

Firstly, Ma Hua was only a nominal disciple. Although I had taught him for so many years, I actually didn’t teach him any skills.

Secondly, he himself had a hard time making ends meet, and Ma Hua also had a family to support. There was no way of stopping him from earning money to support his family.

The two bickered all the way back to the Red Star Courtyard, where they saw two children running around in the yard.

The two children were Qin Huiyang and Qin Huijing, both over three years old. Although they were twins, the boy and girl were dressed differently, so they were easy to recognize.

"Qin Jingru is here?" Xu Damao's eyes lit up, and he stepped forward with a smile to stop Qin Huiyang, "Xiaoyang, when did you come?"

"I just got here a while ago." Qin Huiyang responded and ran away again.

Sha Zhu whispered: "I don't know if these two children are yours, but Qin Huishu, who was born when Qin Jingru was just 18, is definitely not yours!"

"Then I also have a son and a daughter, which is better than you having a lot of children, but none of them are your biological children!" Xu Damao chuckled.

Sha Zhu choked and raised his eyebrows and said, "What I mean is, Qin Jingru has another man, can you feel good about it?"

"What else can I do? She and I have been divorced for several years. What can I do to stop her from finding another man?" Xu Damao said calmly, but his heart was bleeding. He felt so sad when he thought that Qin Jingru, who was becoming more and more beautiful, was being messed with by another man!

Sha Zhu laughed and said, "You are quite self-aware. I'm afraid you want to remarry but can't, right?"

"It's none of your business!" Xu Damao was furious. He cursed and turned away.

Sha Zhu looked at his back, sighed secretly, and murmured: "Everyone has their own troubles!"
