Comfortable life in Siheyuan

Qin Huairu returned home and hurriedly found a pen and paper. Without hesitation, she tore off a page from Banggeng's clean and tidy homework book, then picked up the pen and carefully wrote an IOU to Xu Damao.

Holding this thin piece of paper in her hand, Qin Huairu's eyes could not help but stay on Banggeng's homework book. She trembled in her heart, this bastard, has he never done his homework before? Why is this book so new?

After Xu Damao arrived at the Intermediate Court and received the IOU, he did not leave immediately. Instead, he said to Qin Huairu with a playful smile: "Sister Qin, in fact, if this matter is replaced by using steamed buns to pay off the debt, I can totally accept it."

Qin Huairu quickly put on a smile and responded softly: "You should go home and check on your old rooster to see if it can still lay eggs." As soon as she finished speaking, she turned around and walked quickly back home.

Xu Damao was unable to come back to his senses for a moment, and subconsciously retorted: "What old rooster? I have two old hens at home!"

At this moment, Sha Zhu happened to be standing by the door. After hearing this, he couldn't help laughing wildly: "Hahahahahahaha... Xu Damao, Xu Damao, you'd better go home quickly to see if the old rooster in your family can lay eggs!" His laughter echoed throughout the courtyard, attracting the attention of everyone around him.

"Silly Zhu, get out of here!" Xu Damao roared angrily!

"Hey! You little bastard! How dare you act wildly against your grandpa? Believe it or not, I will beat you to a pulp." Before he finished speaking, Sha Zhu made a gesture to rush forward to teach Xu Damao a lesson.

"What are you doing? Stay out of this and come home with me." Tian Xiuyun grabbed Sha Zhu's arm tightly, pulled it hard, and took him straight home.

"Oh! So you are so afraid of your wife! What's the matter? You don't dare to come over, right? I'm waiting for you here, grandpa. I want to see what you can do." Xu Damao had planned to run away, but when he saw Sha Zhu being dragged away by his wife, he suddenly became arrogant again and continued to provoke Sha Zhu.

When Tian Xiuyun heard this, she turned around and said with a half-smile, "You have never been beaten before. If you really want to fight with Zhuzi, I can help you. Just in our middle courtyard, and no one will stop you."

Xu Damao scratched his head with a wry smile, and went back to the backyard without saying a single harsh word.

In the middle courtyard, Qin Huairu had a stern face, suppressing her anger, and said in a cold tone: "Stand there, against the wall, or I'll break your legs. Tell me the truth now, when did you start to learn how to steal? Speak!!"

Jia Zhang stood up again and walked to Qin Huairu, whispering: "Don't scare the child. He is hungry too. He is still a child. What can he do wrong?"

Qin Huairu rolled her eyes, turned around and said to Jia Zhang, "Mom, can you please stop talking when I'm educating my child? If we don't take care of this child anymore, we really won't be able to control him. We must teach him a lesson today!" Qin Huairu looked at Bang Geng with a serious face.

Banggeng lowered his head, tears welling up in his eyes.

"I'm asking you a question!" Qin Huairu raised her voice.

"I...I just want to eat meat..." Banggeng said in a crying voice.

Qin Huairu's heart softened when she heard this, but she finally hardened her heart and raised her hand, ready to teach him a lesson.

But after holding it up for a long time, it finally didn't fall down.

"Banggeng, you are the only male in our family. You must never do anything sneaky again. If you do it again, I will break your legs." Qin Huairu scolded with a stern face.

"Mom, I know. I won't do it again." Bang Geng replied with a sob.

Seeing that Qin Huairu had finished her lecture, Jia Zhang, who was standing by, hurried over to grab Banggeng and hugged him in her arms, muttering softly, "Don't be afraid, Banggeng, grandma is here. Don't be so reckless in the future. How could you be so careless!"

Qin Huairu's throat was smoking, and she spit out the water she just drank. She coughed and said, "Mom, if you say these things to Banggeng again, I will go to the street and apply to send you back to the countryside. If Banggeng continues to educate us like this, there will be no hope for the Jia family."

Jia Zhang didn't say anything, but curled her lips in disdain, turned around and went back to the house. When she entered the room, she began to mutter again: "You educated the child well, but the slap didn't fall on the child? If I wasn't here, the child wouldn't have enough to eat."

In the backyard, Xu Damao sat on the table with a happy look on his face, squinting his eyes and imagining the scene of Qin Huairu returning the steamed buns to him.

"What sweet dreams are you having? Come and have dinner." Sun Xiaoyan's voice broke his sweet dream, and Xu Damao stared at her unhappily.

Sun Xiaoyan didn't indulge him and said to herself: "Whether you want to eat or not, I've cooked the meal. If you don't want to eat, I can still eat more with the children."

Xu Damao was so angry that he laughed when he heard this. He narrowed his eyes and said, "You are really powerful. You used to pretend to be weak in front of me, but now your true colors are revealed. Even that old hag Jia Zhang can't argue with you."

Sun Xiaoyan didn't even raise her eyelids, and said disdainfully: "That old hag is just an old resident of the compound, and she knows people better than I do, otherwise I wouldn't be able to scold her to death. In the countryside, I will kill every one like her. Do you think that since my husband is gone, no one has ever set their sights on me? There are men who want to take advantage of me! There are also men who want to bully me. If I hadn't become like this, would I be able to take care of my two children?"

Xu Damao understood the danger of this after a little thought. He had been traveling to rural areas for many years and knew too well the sufferings of the people there, as well as the difficulties faced by young widows.

"Okay, that's good. At least you won't suffer any loss." Xu Damao walked over, sat at the table, picked up the chopsticks and started chatting while eating.

Sun Xiaoyan rolled her eyes at him, "I didn't become like this just to avoid being taken advantage of. I just wanted to protect my two children." Xu Damao buried his head in his food, thinking that this woman was indeed not easy. He raised his head, looked at Sun Xiaoyan, and said seriously, "If you have anything to do in the future, you still have to listen to me. I am the head of the family. No matter how powerful you are, this family is supported by my money."

Sun Xiaoyan put on a smile and said slowly, "Okay, I'll listen to you. I'll discuss things with you first in the future."

Sun Xiaoyan looked at Xu Damao and thought, this guy looks noisy, but he is actually quite easy to control. All you need to do is go along with him and everything will be fine.

After watching the excitement, Liu Qingshan went back to his room and packed his things for tomorrow's visit to his father-in-law's house. In the past few days, people have come to him every day to do things, and he is a little annoyed. He plans to come back tomorrow evening.
