Siheyuan: Xu Damao's New Life

The people from the steel rolling mill took Qin Huairu and Guo Dapiezi and began to parade them through the streets of Nanluoguxiang. More and more people gathered to watch the fun, and before they knew it, they arrived at the vicinity of Yard No. 95 and stopped.

The sound of gongs was heard everywhere, attracting many residents at home nearby. A comrade from the Women's Federation began to talk about the scandal between Qin Huairu and Guo Dapiezi.

Qin Huairu knew that she was near her home, so she lowered her head almost to her chest, for fear of being seen by acquaintances. If that happened, she would be too ashamed to face anyone, and the old woman in her family would probably beat her to death.

Second Aunt Li Cuilian and Third Aunt Yang Ruihua were just coming back from shopping for groceries. Generally, it is cheaper to buy groceries in the afternoon than in the morning. Since Xu Damao's rise, the relationship between the two families has been good. The sons of the two families served in the army and returned from the army together, which made the relationship even better. At this time, the two saw that there were people gathered here and started to watch the fun.

"Hey, sister, what's going on?" Wang Ruihua asked the elder sister beside him.

"You just came back, right? This adulterer was caught and is being paraded through the streets!" said the eldest sister.

"Bah, so shameless." Li Cuilian spat and said.

"I say, Cui Lian, do you think that woman looks a bit like Qin Huairu?" Yang Ruihua asked.

Li Cuilian stood on tiptoe and stretched her neck to look inside. "You know what, if I look closely, this person really looks like Qin Huairu, but she kept her head down so I couldn't see her clearly."

"Hey, the person who just gave the explanation said that the man's name is Guo Dapiezi and the woman's name is Qin Huairu. They are both workers at the steel rolling mill. They were caught having an affair after lunch today. Do you know her?" said the older sister who was questioned just now.

"She is our..." Li Cuilian had just said half of her words when she was pulled by Yang Ruihua.

"I don't know her, I don't know her. We recognized the wrong person just now. Cui Lian, let's go home quickly." Yang Ruihua took Li Cui Lian and walked into the yard.

Li Cuilian was not released until the two walked a little further away. She asked with a little dissatisfaction: "Ruihua, why did you pull me just now? I haven't finished talking yet."

"Are you trying to say that the person is Qin Huairu from our hospital?"

"Yes what's the matter?"

"What's wrong? It's not good to have a reputation of being an adulteress. Do you still want to marry into our compound? Your second son and my third son are not married yet. If your reputation of being an adulteress gets out, will there be any good girl willing to marry into our compound?" Yang Ruihua said.

"Oh, you see, I was so anxious that I forgot about this. Luckily you helped me." Li Cuilian patted her chest and said with some fear.

"Let's go back and tell Jia Zhang the news. She always says that her family is a wealthy family and looks down on everyone. I want to see how she can stay in the courtyard after this incident!"

"Yes, yes, yes, let's go back first. I'm also annoyed with that old hag Jia Zhang."

Soon the two returned to the courtyard. Qin Jingru was chatting with Yu Li at Yan's house with her child. When she saw her mother-in-law running back in a hurry, she asked, "Mom, what happened?"

"Oh, your sister was caught for having an affair at the factory, and now she's being paraded through the streets at the entrance of the alley!"

"What? How could my sister do such a thing!" Qin Jingru said in disbelief.

Yu Li also asked her mother-in-law: "Mom, is this true?"

"Really, we just came back from there. I'll tell Jia Zhang right away." Yang Ruihua put down the basket and hurried towards the central courtyard.

"Hey, wait for me." Li Cuilian also chased after him with a basket of vegetables.

The Jia family in the middle courtyard.

"Ms. Jia Zhang, your daughter-in-law was caught having an affair at the factory and is being paraded through the streets. Do you still care?"

"Yes, Qin Huairu has brought shame to your Jia family this time. A group of people are watching!"

Jia Zhang was enjoying having her two granddaughters squeeze out the pus from her sores. Her problem was initially just some red bumps, but later not only did they grow in size but also turned black in color. Now they were rotten and pus was oozing out from them from time to time.

Jia Zhang was terrified and went to the hospital for another checkup, but the hospital couldn't find out what was wrong with Jia Zhang. If they couldn't find out what was wrong with her, then there was no way to cure it. Jia Zhang didn't believe in evil. After all, this was related to her life, and she was very afraid of death!

So Jia Zhang was no longer afraid of spending money. She went to almost all the hospitals in the city, but the result was that they could not find the cause and there was no cure. They just told her to use some alcohol to disinfect frequently, change clothes frequently, and squeeze out the pus inside appropriately.

At this time, Jia Zhang heard what the second and third aunts said outside, and she jumped up in anger. She ran out of the house like the wind and came to the yard, jumping up and down and cursing: "What are you two gossiping women talking about? Your daughter-in-law was caught for adultery!"

"Hehe, Jia Zhang, believe it or not, we have told you anyway. I am too lazy to argue with you so I will go home first." After saying this, Li Cuilian went back to the backyard first. She was in a hurry to share the news with her neighbors in the backyard.

"Hmph, just listen to the gong sound outside and you'll know. I'm going back too." Yang Ruihua said this and went home.

Jia Zhang stood in the yard and listened carefully to the noise outside. There was indeed a faint sound of gongs coming from outside. She couldn't help but wonder in her heart, could it be that Qin Huairu was caught accidentally because of her misconduct outside? Thinking of this, she decided to go out and see what was going on.

As soon as Jia Zhang walked onto the street, she saw a crowd of people gathered in three layers not far away. It seemed that something had really happened. Jia Zhang relied on her weight to squeeze through the crowd and got inside.

When she looked inside, she recognized that the woman kneeling inside was her daughter-in-law Qin Huairu. Jia Zhang felt that her anger was rushing to her head. This really brought shame to the Jia family.

Jia Zhang rushed forward, grabbed Qin Huairu's hair with one hand, and swung the other hand to give Qin Huairu a slap in the face, which was her favorite.

Jia Zhang's slap was so powerful that it made Qin Huairu bleed from the corner of her mouth and a tooth flew out. Qin Huairu stood up quickly and dodged when she saw Jia Zhang coming.

"Hey, what are you doing, old comrade?" asked a man who was escorting Qin Huairu through the streets at the steel rolling mill.

"My own daughter-in-law did such a shameless thing, shouldn't she be beaten? I will beat this little bitch to death!" Jia Zhang continued to chase and beat Qin Huairu relentlessly.

The people around them realized that it was Qin Huairu's mother-in-law who came. This was someone else's family affair, so it was better for them not to interfere, not to mention that Qin Huairu had brought this upon herself.
