Old Mo, eating fish in a courtyard house, reigning supreme in Hong Kong.

Chapter 419: The Cycle of Heaven Reaps What Flows, and No One Can Escape Its Judgment

Everyone sat down and began to eat.

"Oh, Brother Xu, your wife's cooking is really good, it tastes just like home. Delicious."

Minister Zhang took a bite and began to praise it. This made Xu's mother a little embarrassed.

Xu Damao said, "Old Zhang, the main reason I called you over today is because of my parents. Now that I'm here, my parents can't stay here anymore."

I offered to build them a villa to live in, but they're both scared and unwilling. What should I do?

"Oh dear, look at me. Yes, yes, this matter must be resolved, it must be resolved."

Old Zhang slapped his forehead and quickly said, "Why spend money building a villa? Here, I'll arrange one for you. By the way, what about the one the Lou family used to own in Loubancheng? It's still vacant now, it'd be perfect for your family."

Mr. and Mrs. Xu, along with Xu Xiaoling, were stunned. The government was arranging villas for them? Was that really true?

Xu Damao waved his hand dismissively and said, "Nonsense, I don't want a house that someone else has lived in. I'll pay for it myself, $100,000 USD. You arrange for someone to build one for me. The property deed will be in my parents' and my sister's names, okay?"

Old Zhang's eyes widened immediately.

"Ten thousand US dollars to build a house? Comrade Xu Damao, are you sure you're building a house?"

These days, you can buy a house for a few hundred dollars. You want to spend a hundred thousand US dollars to build a house? Is that even remotely impressive?

Xu Damao waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about that. I just want to build a villa worth 100,000 yuan. I won't take advantage of you. You arrange the land for me, and I'll pay you the full amount."

Just build it for me for $100,000, whatever it looks like. If you don't have enough money, you can ask me for more. I can't help it, my parents wouldn't dare live in something I built myself, so you'll have to do it, OK?

Old Zhang was speechless.

"Alright, I'll take it. I'll make sure the money is spent wisely and I build you a one-of-a-kind villa. Hahahaha..."

In fact, it's not difficult at all. Old Zhang just felt it was a bit extravagant.

Xu Damao said, "Old Zhang! I might come back more often in the future, but generally speaking, I'm still not home very often. Next time I bring back a batch of cars, can you get one for my parents and one for my sister?"

"That's definitely possible! No, don't bother with that, I'll arrange it for you. The government will cover your food, lodging, and transportation."

And your parents and sister—if they want to work, I'll arrange it for them; if they don't, they can just stay home. They won't have to worry about food or clothing. Is that okay with you?

The things Xu Damao sent back could feed the entire nation, let alone the Xu family.

Especially those resources like oil, copper, iron, and aluminum. They are simply incomparable to food.

Old Zhang finally realized that Xu Damao had come back this time to make arrangements for his family.

Without a doubt, Old Zhang waved his hand and arranged everything.

Apart from the house that Xu Damao insisted on building himself, Old Zhang generously took care of everything else.

Xu Damao laughed as soon as he heard that.

"Mom and Dad, see this? This is Minister Zhang's guarantee. From now on, you can use and spend it as you please at home. Your son has money."

Old Zhang quickly added, "That's right. Old Xu, let me tell you this: from now on, your Xu family will be a key protected group by our country, and no one will dare to touch you."

"As long as you don't kill or commit arson, you can do whatever you want, and absolutely no one will dare to say a word against you. I've got your back; nobody will dare. Now you can rest assured, right?"

The three members of the Xu family were all stunned.

Although I had a feeling that Xu Damao was probably very capable, I didn't expect him to be this capable.

Old Zhang continued, "From now on, your entire family will be included in the government staff and enjoy vice-ministerial level benefits. You'll receive a monthly salary, a car, a driver, and bodyguards."

Old Xu, don't worry about the money, it's all good. Your son's with Prince Ying now, what are you afraid of?"

"Yes, Mom and Dad, did you hear me? From now on, eat and drink whatever you want. Spend all the money I give you. Eat well and get chubby. When your grandson is born, I'll bring him back to play with you."

I can also take you to Hong Kong for fun. Anyway, you can just wait and enjoy yourself. Don't go to work anymore. Haha…”

At this moment, Xu's parents finally realized that Xu Damao had truly made it big, reaching a level that ordinary people wouldn't even dare to dream of.

As for Sha Zhu, things didn't go so well for him.

After returning from the airport, he went to his sister's house. A car took them back, and then the car left.

After having a meal at his sister's house, he left two thousand US dollars for her and then left.

Two thousand US dollars is quite a lot. We can't really call him stingy or anything like that.

But compared to Xu Damao, he's far inferior. After all, he's the older brother!

There was no other way; those two thousand US dollars were all he had saved up by scrimping and saving.

Lou Xiao'e didn't actually give him much money.

However, Sha Zhu is a hardworking person, and he found a chef job in Hong Kong, earning several thousand a month.

There's no way around it, his skills are truly exceptional. In Hong Kong, as long as you're willing to work hard, earning several thousand dollars a month is entirely possible.

Of course, this can't be compared. As the older brother, it's already quite good that he went away for more than half a year and brought back two thousand US dollars for his younger sister.

After leaving his sister's house, Sha Zhu found a car and took it back to the courtyard house at No. 95.

When we got back to the courtyard house, it was already evening, and the gate was closed.

Sha Zhu, his hands trembling, gently pushed the door open.

The old man was no longer there watering the flowers. Nor did he come up to greet him or ask for any favors.

Stunned and overwhelmed with emotion, he lifted his leg, ready to go inside.

At that moment, an elderly woman in the courtyard saw him.

"Hey young man, who are you looking for at our courtyard house?"

Sha Zhu smiled and said, "I am He Yuzhu, a member of the He family from the main house of the Central Court."

"Huh? He Yuzhu?"

Everyone looked at him with suspicion.

Then, many people's expressions turned strange.

Because a family surnamed Jia came to the Intermediate Court. The Jia family had an old woman who was incredibly fierce, capable of throwing tantrums and making a scene.

Seeing that no one lived in the He family's house next door, she inquired around and learned that the eldest son of the He family had been arrested and was going to jail for fifteen years, and it was impossible for him to come back anytime soon.

This old woman Jia came up with a plan, so she simply pried open the lock on the He family's house and moved in.

It's true, what goes around comes around; no one escapes the wrath of Heaven.

Sha Zhu, unaware of all the intricacies, walked into the central courtyard with a look of deep emotion.

Behind them, the old women suddenly remembered something.

"Wait a minute, isn't that the eldest son of the He family? Wasn't he imprisoned for fifteen years? How come he's back so quickly?"

"Escaped from prison, yes, he must have escaped and returned."

"Quickly, quickly, go report to the police..."
