Courtyard House: Starting as an engineer, crushing a yard full of poultry

Lou Xiao'e didn't even look at it before signing her name and pressing her fingerprint on the divorce agreement.

Without saying another word, he turned and left the hospital.

Lou Xiao'e knew that her father must have arranged this yesterday.

After the divorce, I felt a sense of relief and was ready to start my new life.

Lou Xiao'e didn't linger and went straight home.

By this time, the house was almost completely tidied up.

The family, along with a nanny, went to the port and left Beijing by boat.

……

The hospital received the payment from Xu Damao yesterday and spent the entire afternoon working on a treatment plan for his condition.

A very conservative solution would be amputation, simply cutting off Xu Damao's two feet.

He will become disabled in the future, but there will be no aftereffects.

Another option is continuous medication, but how long it will take to recover is unknown.

In short, he must have spent a long time in a wheelchair.

It's practically impossible to manage one's own life.

Either of these two options would mean that Xu Damao's future is hopeless.

The doctor also told Xu Damao the final treatment plan, and Xu Damao's eyes went dull after hearing it.

He was like a dead man, and the doctor understood Xu Damao's feelings.

What if you heard that you would be unable to take care of yourself for the rest of your life?

No one would be in a good mood, especially someone like Xu Damao.

With current medical technology, Xu Damao may spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair.

"Let's amputate it; a short, sharp pain is worse than a long, drawn-out one."

Xu Damao pondered for a long time and finally made up his mind.

The main reason is that whether or not I can earn money in the future is another matter.

Treatment with medication alone would take forever.

Whether it can be cured is unknown. Rather than wasting money, it's better to just leave it as it is.

……

Inside the Liu family's house.

These past few days, Liu Haizhong and his son have been living in a state of constant fear.

The family members didn't dare to ask any more questions, and no one knew what Liu Haizhong and the others had done that day.

The family also remained silent about it.

After much inquiry, Liu Haizhong finally learned about this matter.

In the end, it was Xu Damao's own fault that put his mind at ease.

Liu Haizhong had also found out some things about Xu Damao.

If the investigation really leads to my father and son.

Going to jail might be the least of my worries; even selling the house might not be enough to pay off the debt.

Meanwhile, Li Xiangdong also saw that Lou Xiao'e packed her things and left the courtyard that day.

He didn't come back today either, which means the Lou family must have left Beijing.

However, all of this is no longer of much concern to me. I just don't want to be a pitiful woman like Lou Xiao'e.

They'll be completely fooled by these beasts in the courtyard.

They've been exploited, and now they're expected to support them in their old age.

in the hospital.

Xu Damao paid the surgery fee in one lump sum, and the hospital performed an amputation on him.

There's no need to go into the details, but in short, Xu Damao has survived.

He will have to spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair, and standing up will be absolutely impossible.

After undergoing surgery, Xu Damao only rested in the hospital for two days before being discharged in a hurry.

The daily hospital expenses are a huge burden, and since the patient is unable to take care of themselves, a caregiver is also needed.

The cost of hospitalization alone is as high as twenty yuan a day.

I've already spent 300 yuan in the hospital after just a few days.

There wasn't much money left to begin with, and if we keep spending like this, we won't even have a chance to eat in the future.

Xu Damao was pushed back to the courtyard house in a wheelchair by the hospital's caregivers.

As luck would have it, He Yuzhu happened to be in the yard at that moment.

"Hey, isn't this Xu Damao? Why are you back in a wheelchair? Your wife ran away too, how pitiful. You used to call me a bachelor without a wife every day, and now you've become a bachelor without a wife too. But I'm different from you, I can still find a wife."

He Yuzhu said sarcastically.

Seeing He Yuzhu's smug look, Xu Damao was furious.

But he dared not say anything more, for he was now in a wheelchair and a useless person.

He then silently pushed his wheelchair back into his room.

He Yuzhu watched as Xu Damao slunk away in his wheelchair, looking as if he were the winner.

He laughed heartily in the yard, thinking that there would be plenty of time to bully Xu Damao in the future, so there was no need to rush.

·· ·····Requesting flowers·· ·

Li Xiangdong silently observed all of this from inside the room.

It seems we shouldn't deal with Yi Zhonghai for now; Liu Haizhong and his son have just walked right into the line of fire.

This is a good opportunity to see if we can get rid of the Liu family from the courtyard house.

Liu Haizhong is no good person either; he only knows how to bully others by relying on his power.

The family relationship was one of perfect harmony, with a loving father and kind son.

The plan to expel them was only slightly brought forward and wouldn't affect the overall situation.

Most importantly, Li Xiangdong did not expect that Xu Damao had suffered such serious injuries.

Originally, I only intended to do some minor skirmishes; with just those methods, it would indeed be quite difficult to eliminate the Liu family.

.... .. 0

However, judging from Xu Damao's current condition, it is highly likely that he will be unable to take care of himself in the future and will have to rely on a wheelchair.

"Dong-ge, time to eat. Are you still drawing blueprints there?"

Yu Li's voice suddenly rang out.

"Okay, I'll wash my hands and come over right away."

Li Xiangdong silently placed a piece of paper in the drawer and locked it.

And the people listed on this paper are the residents of the courtyard house.

There was a big X drawn above the name of the deaf old lady.

The arrow points directly into the bangs.

……

After noon, representatives from the factory also came to Xu Damao's home, with the factory manager personally visiting to offer his condolences.

It was supposed to be a visit of condolences, but in reality, it was just bringing some fruit.

The most important goal was to get the money for the projector.

Regardless, the film studio couldn't stop operating, even if they were missing a machine.

This will have a significant impact on subsequent work arrangements.

"Xiao Xu, don't blame the factory for being heartless. This is already the most lenient punishment you've received. Otherwise, you wouldn't even have a job now. At least you can do some clerical work in the factory, which provides some financial security."

The factory manager said with a forced smile.

Even though Xu Damao is now paralyzed, rules are rules.

"I'll pay for the projector; here's six hundred yuan. I need to take some time off now. Can the factory manager approve it?"

Xu Damao, expressionless, took out six hundred yuan and handed it over.

"Okay, I'll approve a month's leave for you at the factory, paid leave." (Nai)

Chapter 151 The Arrival of Li Xiangdong

The film studio manager patted Xu Damao on the shoulder in a perfunctory manner, took the money, and left.
