Qin Jingru was indeed tempted after learning about Silly Zhu's salary.
In this era, a salary of 37.50 yuan was not a small amount.
The key was that Silly Zhu's mother died early and his father had disappeared long ago.
He had a car, a house, and both his parents were dead. He had been the perfect partner since ancient times.
"Sis, since Silly Zhu's salary is so high, why doesn't he have a bicycle?”
In this era, bicycles were comparable to sedans!
"He has a bicycle, but his younger sister is currently riding it. If you get together with Silly Zhu, you can have a pillow talk and get a bicycle, right? In addition, with Silly Zhu's monthly salary of 37.5 yuan, his life was comfortable enough. Why would he need a bicycle?”
Qin Huairu said, afraid that Qin Jingru would look down on Silly Zhu because she did not have a car.
While Qin Huairu was thinking about how to get money from Silly Zhu, Xu Damao followed Lou Xiao'e to his father-in-law's house.
"You're back. Come in quickly."
His mother-in-law was very enthusiastic towards Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e.
Seeing that the two of them had returned, he was very happy and warmly welcomed them.
However, his father-in-law, Director Lou, who was sitting on the sofa, was reading the newspaper without saying a word. He did not want to pay attention to Xu Damao at all.
Previously, Xu Damao's father-in-law, Director Lou, did not like Xu Damao's background. Therefore, he had his own opinions about this marriage.
Basically, when he saw Xu Damao, he did not have a good expression. Xu Damao was already used to this.
It was precisely because Director Lou did not treat Xu Damao well that Xu Damao's predecessor basically did not like to come to Lou Xiao'e's house.
"Mom, these are all for you two. They are all local specialties I brought back from the countryside.”
Xu Damao handed the things in his hands to his mother-in-law, who happily received them.
After Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e sat down, Director Lou asked,""Why are you here today?"
"It's the first day of the new year. Of course, I have to follow my wife back to her mother's house. Although I know that you don't welcome me very much, I still have to be thick-skinned.”
Xu Damao said with a smile.
As the saying goes, one should not hit a smiling person. This time, Director Lou did not rebuke him.
However, Director Lou only asked Xu Damao this question. Then, he lowered his head and read the newspaper, ignoring Xu Damao.
Sitting here was indeed a little uncomfortable.
Xu Damao said,"Xiao'e, come over and chat with our dad. I'll help our mom."”
Director Lou's expression changed slightly when he heard this.
Xu Damao's attitude today had surprised Director Lou.
In the past, when Xu Damao came to their house, he would just sit down and not care about anything.
Director Lou and Xu Damao sat together for a day, but they would not speak or look at each other.
Xu Damao's attitude today was really surprising.
Lou Xiao'e also knew what Xu Damao meant. It was because the relationship between the two was not very good, so it was awkward to sit together.
Lou Xiao'e could come over and chat with his father. Xu Damao went to the kitchen to help out, and it was a good time to show off.
Therefore, Lou Xiao'e immediately put down her work and switched places with Xu Damao.
"There's something wrong with this kid today. There must be something wrong with him.”
Director Lou thought that Xu Damao was acting so abnormally today. There must be something wrong, so he said it directly in front of his daughter.
"Aiya, Dad, you're right. In the past, Damao just sat there and didn't talk. You said he was rude. Now he wants to talk to you, but what about you? You ignored him."
"We're just here to celebrate the new year. What's wrong with that?”
Lou Xiao'e immediately defended herself.
Director Lou's expression changed slightly when she heard Lou Xiao'e's words. She did not continue.
After that, the father and daughter started chatting. The one they talked about the most was Xu Damao.
At the same time, Lou Xiao'e also told Director Lou about Xu Damao's translation job. This matter surprised Director Lou.
None of them had ever heard that Xu Damao could speak a foreign language.
Soon, Mother Lou finished cooking and served the dishes on the table.
The family gathered around the dining table and started eating.
Xu Damao's appetite seemed to be very good. He started to stuff himself with food.
"Eat slowly, eat slowly. No one will snatch it from you.”
Lou Xiao'e saw Xu Damao's table manners and asked with concern.
"I know that no one is fighting with me, but our mom's cooking is really too delicious. I've never eaten such authentic Tan family dishes. Our mom's Tan family dishes are even better than Shazhu's!”
Xu Damao praised.
When Mother Lou heard this, she immediately smiled from ear to ear."This child is really sweet. This is just an ordinary home-cooked dish. Isn't it too exaggerated?”
"What I said is true. It's definitely not a compliment. The idiot in our courtyard…No, He Yuzhu. Their family inherited the Tan family's dishes. I've eaten his dishes before, but they're far inferior to our mother's!”
Obviously, Xu Damao's words were a compliment.
After all, Mother Lou was just a housewife, but she was still an amateur. How could an amateur compare to a professional? Of course, they couldn't compare.
However, these words were very pleasing to the ear.
"Child, you're praising me so much that I don't know what to say. Since you like to eat, then eat more.”
Mother Lou listened to Xu Damao's words and felt very comfortable. She kept putting food into Xu Damao's bowl.
When Lou Xiao'e saw this scene, she was completely dumbfounded.
She wondered when Xu Damao had become so good at talking. In the past, it was already good enough that she didn't scold him, yet she still wanted to say good things about him? How was that possible?
Director Lou, who was sitting on the main seat, had been watching from the side. When he saw this, his opinion of Xu Damao changed.
Then, he asked the servant at home to open a bottle of wine and give Xu Damao a glass.
After he finished drinking, Director Lou went upstairs and left,""Come to my study room after eating."
When Lou Xiao'e heard this, she was even more surprised.
Why did Director Lou ask Xu Damao to go to the study room? Without even thinking, she knew that Director Lou had changed his opinion of Xu Damao.
After eating, Xu Damao went to Director Lou's study.
"Sit."
Director Lou said lightly.
His face was full of worry. He was drinking and smoking in his left hand. It was obvious that he was worried about something.
"Dad, are you worried about the recent wind?" Xu Damao asked.”
Hearing Xu Damao's question, Director Lou was slightly stunned. He looked up at Xu Damao and said,""You know about it too?"
Originally, Director Lou only wanted to chat with Xu Damao. He thought that he still had some power now. If Xu Damao had any ideas, he could push Xu Damao up.
However, Xu Damao's question attracted Director Lou's attention.
