Siheyuan: Starting from a Truck Driver

"Didn't I remind you that this medicine is hard to come by and you can't tell anyone about it? Once the neighbors find out, they will all come to me. What should I do?" Lou Xiao'e nodded in sudden realization, promised to keep it a secret, and then urged him to take the medicine first.

Xu Damao had a guilty conscience and didn't dare to blame her. He had to pinch his nose and drink the Chinese medicine in one breath. After drinking it, he licked the bowl, fearing that there would be a little bit of omission. After all, this was the medicine he had worked so hard to get. After drinking it, he said he wanted to cook it again.

"Okay, let's cook it after dinner." Xu Damao was about to agree when a familiar voice came from outside the door.

"Xu Damao, Damao!" Qin Huairu appeared and explained, "We are all neighbors. Isn't it normal for me to come and chat with you?"

Xu Damao responded casually: "It's okay to chat casually, but don't borrow money and grain." He directly rejected Qin Huairu's topic. Qin Huairu wanted to speak, but was interrupted by Xu Damao, so she had to give up for the time being. But she did not give up, and she must get some benefits from Xu Damao today.

"Da Mao, do you underestimate me, Qin Huairu? I just saw Xiao'e washing the Chinese medicine and I was concerned about you. Is there anything wrong with that?" As soon as the Chinese medicine was mentioned, Xu Damao's expression immediately became embarrassed. He hurriedly explained that he drank the Chinese medicine because of his stomach discomfort.

Qin Huairu took the opportunity to ridicule Xu Damao, suggesting that there might be something wrong with the Chinese medicine. Xu Damao heard her intention, but he knew Qin Huairu's character and said nonchalantly: "Sister Qin, just say what you want to say!"

Qin Huairu smiled and said that her family was in financial difficulty and needed to borrow money for emergency. Although it was a loan on the surface, they knew in their hearts that the money might not come back. Xu Damao raised his eyebrows and asked her how much she wanted to borrow.

Qin Huairu stretched out two white fingers, only wanting to borrow twenty yuan. This made Xu Damao laugh. Qin Huairu was really asking for too much. He decided to tease her and only gave her five yuan, and threatened to cause trouble for her.

Qin Huairu reluctantly took the money, and Xu Damao quickly took out five yuan from his pocket and gave it to her, not forgetting to gently scratch her hand and warn her not to talk nonsense. Although Qin Huairu was very dissatisfied, she understood that Xu Damao's threat was not empty talk.

At this time, Li Weidong came back with his bicycle and happened to see their transaction. He secretly judged that there seemed to be some unusual interaction between the two neighbors. As old neighbors, he knew both Xu Damao and Qin Huairu very well.

Especially Xu Damao. Although he often offered to send mountain products, getting money from him was as difficult as cutting his flesh.

The only successful example was when He Yuzhu used some shady tricks.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, he arranged for the three brothers and sisters Banggeng to kneel in front of Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e's kang and sing the sad Lianhualuo.

Who can tolerate cursing others to be childless during the New Year?

Now Xu Damao is actually willing to give money to Qin Huairu, there must be something fishy about it.

Li Weidong was thinking about how to deal with Xu Damao.

This guy actually dared to block his path to wealth. How could I not teach him a lesson?

Maybe this is a good opportunity to take action.

After the transaction was completed, Xu Damao and Qin Huairu also noticed Li Weidong's presence. They hurriedly put on a serious look and said a few words, then dispersed.

Xu Damao returned to his room, while Qin Huairu walked towards Li Weidong.

Before she even got close, she said to Li Weidong with a flattering smile: "Wei Zi, you're back!"

Li Weidong originally didn't intend to pay attention to Qin Huairu, but he still wanted to use her to contain Xu Damao, so he raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's the matter?"

Qin Huairu was prepared to be ignored, but she didn't expect Li Weidong to respond to her. She was immediately ecstatic.

She nodded vigorously, then bit her lip and said, "This is not a good place to talk, how about we talk somewhere else?"

When she said this, Qin Huairu was ready to be rejected, but the next second, Li Weidong replied: "Okay!"

"I'll wait for you in the cellar."

Qin Huairu's heart was filled with joy. Although she didn't understand why Li Weidong's attitude suddenly changed, the fact that he was willing to pay attention to her was enough to make her happy.

Before going to find Xu Damao, she went to find He Yuzhu first, but unfortunately He Yuzhu was also there, so she couldn't speak.

Fortunately, she got five yuan from Xu Damao, which barely allowed her to survive for a few days. She is now looking forward to borrowing another sum of money from Li Weidong to survive until next month's salary.

Li Weidong nodded and pushed his bike away. After returning home, he locked his bike and headed for the cellar. The cellar had long been abandoned. People were so poor that no one would store food there. In addition, the light was dim, so even children were reluctant to come here to play.

After entering the cellar, it was pitch black. Li Weidong was about to call Qin Huairu, but before he could open his mouth, a figure rushed in.

Li Weidong was startled and asked quickly, "Who is it?"

"It's me, Weidong!"

Qin Huairu's voice trembled. It was obvious that this was her first time doing such a thing. She was nervous and curious. Her husband had passed away a long time ago. At her age, she was as vigorous as a wolf. The whole family was crowded in one room. Even if she wanted to solve it privately, she had nowhere to start. It couldn't be done in the shower, right? It was a public bathroom. If she was discovered, how could she live with dignity?

Feeling the masculine scent of Li Weidong, Qin Huairu couldn't help but clamp her legs together. Her voice became soft and she stammered, "Wei, Weidong, I really have no choice. I have three children and a sick mother-in-law at home. My salary is meager. It's okay normally, but I get flustered when something happens. If you don't mind, I can..."

After saying this, Qin Huairu's heart almost jumped to her throat. Initially, she planned to kneel down and beg Li Weidong directly, and use this as an exchange. But when she saw his figure, she remembered the last time she borrowed eggs, and she couldn't help but develop into this situation.

Li Weidong didn't expect Qin Huairu to be so bold. Could this woman have some hidden secrets?

He was hesitating whether to accept it, this was a question. Time seemed to stand still, and Li Weidong finally made a decision. He was experienced, why bother pretending! His jujube stick technique was already perfect, and in the face of a fight, who was afraid of who!

Qin Huairu knew that she was no match for Li Weidong, so she took advantage of his unpreparedness and used a feint. Li Weidong's first reaction was: This guy is too unethical. He adopted the strategy of using static to dynamic, resisted Qin Huairu's first wave of attacks, and then began to counterattack.

Qin Huairu was not a novice, but a skilled fighter. She took advantage of the fight and grabbed Li Weidong's vital parts, making him unable to move. Li Weidong was not to be outdone and launched a direct counterattack, using a black tiger heart-piercing move to hit the vitals. Although Qin Huairu groaned, she was even more motivated. She twisted her body and used the long-lost Heavenly Demon Disintegration Leg Technique, instantly breaking down Li Weidong's defense.

In the ensuing battle, Li Weidong tried to attack Qin Huairu's vital points, but in the end he was slightly inferior to Qin Huairu, and her double clamps restrained his right arm. The situation was critical, and Li Weidong had to reveal his true strength and used the tiger hard climb with his left hand to hit her head. Qin Huairu couldn't hold on and fell down.

Although Qin Huairu lost, Li Weidong did not stop attacking and used another ruthless move to kill her. In the end, Qin Huairu's defeat brought the battle to an end.

Qin Huairu wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and said to Li Weidong in a hoarse voice: "I will keep this secret." Li Weidong responded with a holy breath, looked at her lightly, and asked: "What did you want to say just now?" Qin Huairu lowered her head and replied in a low voice: "I... I want to borrow some money from you."

Li Weidong fumbled in his pocket for a while, took out two ten-yuan bills, handed them to her, and said, "These are all I have, use them as you please." After that, he turned and left without saying anything else.

When Qin Huairu took the money, she showed a pleasant surprise on her face. But when she saw Li Weidong's graceful departure, she felt a little disappointed. She sighed, put the money in her pocket, and was about to leave when she suddenly felt unwell. Although she had not really used a knife or a gun just now, the demon deep in her heart had been touched.

When Li Weidong returned home, Yu Li had not come back yet, which made Li Weidong feel a little relieved. He took off his dirty clothes, threw them into the basin to wash, and then began to wash rice to prepare dinner. It was not until the sunset that Yu Li and Yu Haitang walked into the house arm in arm. Because Yu Haitang invited Yu Li to do a community livelihood interview, they came home late.

Seeing Li Weidong busy in the kitchen, Yu Haitang's eyes lit up and she came to him happily. "Brother-in-law, what's the good food tonight?" "Have you heard of sweet potato with candied potatoes?" "No, I haven't tried it. Is it delicious?" "You'll know in a while! Don't just stand there, go and help me heat up yesterday's leftovers." "Okay!"

While the two were talking, Yu Li also came in wearing an apron. She first wiped the sweat off Li Weidong's forehead with her sleeve, and then said in reproach: "Didn't you say you would cook after I came back? You've been busy all day and you don't even know how to take a break." Li Weidong smiled and said, "It's okay. Your wife has been busy all day and I feel sorry for her." The two smiled at each other. This warm scene made Yu Haitang shudder and complain, "Sister, brother-in-law, you should pay attention to your image! I'm still here!"

Yu Li looked at her sideways: "Who asked you to follow me!" Yu Haitang immediately asked Li Weidong for help: "Brother-in-law, please take care of my sister!" Li Weidong said seriously: "I think your sister is right, you should stay at home and don't disturb our world of two people." Yu Haitang was speechless.

I thought Yu Haitang would leave, but she stayed shamelessly and didn't give Li Weidong a chance to wash the dishes until she finished eating the sweet potato. In the end, Li Weidong had to wash the dishes with Yu Li. After dinner, the two moved stools to sit at the door, peeling peanuts and chatting. It was still early, and they didn't want to go to bed so early.
