Like a cunning rabbit with three burrows, no one knows exactly how many properties the Lou family owns in Beijing.
If this wealth were stored up for posterity, it would be an enormous sum of money.
But now, if they can't be sold, they're just sitting there doing nothing.
The world is in chaos now, and no one will come to investigate.
“Sister E used to go over the accounts with us right here,” Kui Datou added.
The subtext is clear: bringing you here means that the three brothers have acknowledged Wang Shouren.
Wang Shouren smiled, patted Kui Datou and Fatty on the shoulder, said nothing, and walked inside first.
Hearing the commotion, Yuan Li came out. He was stunned when he saw Wang Shouren, then looked at his two brothers and understood what was going on. He came out and stood to the side, letting Wang Shouren go into the house first.
Before Wang Shouren could speak, Kui Datou spoke first with a serious expression: "Brother, if you want us to follow you, you have to tell us what you want us to do. Let me make it clear first, if it's something underhanded, we brothers won't do it."
"Don't worry, if I were to do anything underhanded, I wouldn't involve the three of you. You three are the weakest in the Lou family's power, but also the most conscientious. That's why I chose you."
The three people: ...
I'm not really keen on accepting this exaggeration, thank you.
Although I really wanted to refute it, there was absolutely no room for rebuttal.
After muttering to himself in his room for a while, Wang Shouren finally cast his first hook. What would become of this hook next remained to be seen.
(I wanted to write about this part but was also a little hesitant, so I'll just skip it. The main plot will unfold later, so please look forward to it.)

This year is somewhat different from previous years.
Sha Zhu is still the same as always, spending the New Year with the deaf old lady. And once he started spending the New Year with the deaf old lady, an old man and an old woman followed along.
There was no other way; they were the ones who usually took care of the deaf old lady's daily life.
The old man had originally planned to have Wang Shouren go with him.
However, he still declined with a smile.
For him, enjoying a few drinks at home during the Lunar New Year and savoring this hard-won solitude is better than anything else.
The outside world is filled with laughter and joy, while the world inside is quiet and peaceful.
"Bang bang bang!"
A knock on the door broke the silence.
Wang Shouren stood up in confusion, opened the door, and wondered who it was. It turned out that two brothers, Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu, were standing outside the door.
That's not surprising.
Liu Guangtian wore a fawning smile: "Brother Shouren, we've come to wish you a Happy New Year. May your happiness be as boundless as the Eastern Sea..."
"Alright, alright." Wang Shouren covered his face helplessly: "Go back now. I appreciate your kindness. Don't worry, I won't go back on my promise. Pick a good time, don't make things difficult for yourselves during the New Year. If you really get beaten to death, your lives are your own. Also, don't just stand around like an idiot, run if you can."
"No way, Brother Shouren," Liu Guangfu said with a pained expression, "If I don't get that beating, I won't get any food..."
Wang Shouren was silent for a while, then sighed: "Alright, if you really have no food, come find me. I'll put it on your tab and you can pay me back later."
Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu exchanged a glance.
He knelt down with a "thud".
Without waiting for Wang Shouren's reaction, the two kowtowed three times.
Liu Guangtian's eyes were slightly red: "Brother Shouren, thank you. If it weren't for you, Guangfu and I really wouldn't know what to do. My dad only has that brother in his heart. He's been gone for so many years, but he's still the same. We really have no other choice."
To be honest, you can't really blame those two young men.
Who would be a kind person who beats their child for fun every day for no reason?
These two young men in front of me have spent an unknown amount of money on doctors over the years.
He endured many injuries on his own. Even now, Liu Guangtian's leg still has some problems.
"Go on, it's the New Year, think of something good." Wang Shouren didn't know what to say, this bangs of his was just awful.
"Brother Shouren, don't worry, just let us know if you need anything in the future." Liu Guangtian patted his chest: "I won't say much. Just watch how we perform."
Liu Guangfu sniffled and patted his chest, saying, "Look at how we did."
"Alright, I'll be waiting for you two." Wang Shouren smiled, then, as if remembering something, he pulled out a handful of hard candies from his pocket and gave one to each of them: "I'm fine as long as I'm full, my whole family isn't hungry. Take these candies. If you really run out of food and can't hold on any longer, take one to tide you over. At least it'll keep you going until you find me."
Liu Guangtian's eyes instantly turned red.
In all these years, this is truly the first time he has ever seen someone willing to give them something.
In his heart, he was always the dispensable one, but sometimes, that was when he got beaten up. It was as if being beaten up was the only reason he lived. If it weren't for his brothers supporting each other, he probably wouldn't have been able to hold on long ago.
He gripped the candy in his hand, lowered his head, and without saying much, pulled his younger brother away.
"Brother, brother, hard candy! Wow, there's even White Rabbit milk candy inside!" Liu Guangfu exclaimed excitedly before even leaving the hospital.
"Let's find a place to hide these. If we get too hungry, we can take some out to eat. We can't let our families know, understand?" Liu Guangtian instructed.
"Don't worry, brother. If Dad finds out, he'll skin me alive."
To be honest, Liu Guangfu is a tough guy; he's got a lot of grit. Even when his father beats him like that, he still talks.
"Okay." Liu Guangtian took a deep breath, suppressing his surging emotions: "From now on, we'll follow Brother Shouren closely, and you're not allowed to do anything to betray him, otherwise, I won't acknowledge you as my brother!"
"Don't worry, brother! I don't plan to acknowledge you as my father anymore," Liu Guangfu assured him, patting his chest.
That's what I meant; it sounded a bit strange.
Liu Guangtian didn't say anything.
He counted down every day, counting down the days until he could leave this hellhole.
Perhaps his nagging had some effect.
The days seemed to fly by in the blink of an eye, as if they were on accelerator.
This year, Wang Shouren will be even busier. On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, the first day back to work, almost everyone still has the joy of family reunion on their faces and doesn't have much energy for work.
However, one piece of news immediately caused an uproar throughout the entire steel rolling mill.
The last trace of languor vanished as well.
Not only was the steel rolling mill in an uproar, but the nearby machinery factory was also caught up in the excitement.
The news is...
