Siheyuan: Sizhu starts blindly and takes a new path

The deaf old ladies and a few others chatted with Lou Xiao'e for a long time, thinking that she would go home. Unexpectedly, she did not get up to say goodbye when dinner time came. They had no choice but to entertain Lou Xiao'e for dinner. Fortunately, the food at home was good recently, otherwise it would be embarrassing to entertain this rich girl.

Lou Xiao'e was not polite either. She evaluated the pros and cons of the dishes while eating: "The braised pork is a little sweet, the pig's trotter soup is a little bland, but the green vegetables and Kung Pao chicken are just okay. Why is your level of cooking so fluctuating? Is it because the seasoning is not good enough again?"

Everyone just smiled and said nothing. Lou Xiaoe was a little indignant: "Do you think what I said is wrong? My tongue is very sensitive to taste."

The old lady smiled and replied: "You are right, but do you know why?" Lou Xiao'e shook her head and wondered: "Is there any reason for this?"

"Of course, the braised pork is specially made for me. I like desserts. The pig's trotters are for Yu Li. She needs to breastfeed, so it's better for her to eat lighter milk."

"I know this. My nanny told me that when she was breastfeeding me, the soup and vegetables she drank were all without salt. Even though they were all good food, they were tasteless and unfishy and hard to swallow. I asked her why, and she said that salt and seasoning would affect the milk."

After hearing her words, Sha Zhu, Yu Li and Yu's mother wanted to say that the Lou family was abominable and unkind. However, Lou Xiao'e, who was visiting Yu Li and her child, could not criticize them in front of her, so they could only hold it in their hearts. The old lady said with a frown: "Most people who can be wet nurses have no way to make a living. Otherwise, who would be willing to feed other people's children without caring about their own children, drinking tasteless soup and swallowing hard-to-swallow food, all for the sake of their own children to survive and live a better life."

"You're right. My nanny became a nanny because her husband had just passed away and she couldn't survive. She left her son to be taken care of by her parents-in-law." Lou Xiao'e looked at Sha Zhu and asked, "By the way, my nanny said that salt and seasonings would affect breast milk. Why did you add these things to Yu Li's food?"

"That's what people did in the past because they didn't understand. I specifically asked the lady's family and they said that we should eat some salt in moderation. Too much salt can easily cause high blood pressure, but breastfeeding mothers can't resist not eating any salt at all." Sha Zhu took out the doctor's explanation.

When Lou Xiao'e heard that it was the doctor's suggestion, she could only nod and agree: "Oh, then listen to the doctor, after all, he is a professional."

After the meal, Lou Xiao'e sent the old lady back to her room and told her that she wanted to come to the courtyard from time to time to chat with her and eat the food that Sha Zhu cooked. The old lady looked at Lou Xiao'e for a long time and said, "Xiao'e, Sha Zhu is already married, you have no chance."

"Madam, what are you talking about?" Lou Xiao'e shyly shook the old lady's arm and said, "I missed you and wanted to come and accompany you. Eating is just a side job."

After hearing her answer, the old lady couldn't help but shake her head and said, "Okay, anyway, I've already said it. If there is no result, you will suffer and you can't blame others. You should think about it more."

Lou Xiao'e thought: I just came here to eat, how come I like Shazhu, that's him! He looks old, dresses shabbily, has low education, and only the food he cooks is OK. Hmm? No, he still looks the same, but now he seems to be dressed quite cleanly, has education..., and seems to tell attractive stories. These are not worthy of me, Miss Lou, to be attracted to him!

Regardless of what the old lady and Lou Xiao'e thought, Lou Xiao'e would come to the courtyard from time to time from that day on. Later, after Yu Li finished her maternity leave and went back to work, Lou Xiao'e not only chatted with the old lady every time she came to the courtyard, but also took the responsibility of holding the baby. She was very proactive in holding the baby in her arms and would not let go. After Yu's mother had some free time, she had to negotiate with her for a long time before she could hold her grandson. And she said that she was afraid that Yu's mother would be tired. The old lady thought: June 1st has such a great charm, why didn't I see it?

All the neighbors in the courtyard saw this, but most people didn't care, mainly because Lou Xiao'e had a good reputation in the courtyard before and was friendly to everyone; now she mainly interacted with Old Lady Yu's mother and rarely communicated with Sha Zhu. But in the eyes of those with bad intentions, there was a lot of room for imagination.

Xu Damao invited his second uncle Liu Haizhong to his house for a drink. When he was half drunk, Qin Jingru came into the room and said, "All you do is drink. Lou Xiao'e comes to the yard every day to make trouble for us, but you dare not say anything. What kind of man are you?"

How could Xu Damao tolerate this? He slapped Qin Jingru in the face: "You spendthrift woman, you know nothing. I wish Lou Xiao'e would come every day. I would be even happier if she lived in the courtyard."

"What? Are you still thinking about reconciling with her and continuing our old relationship?" Qin Jingru, who originally wanted to cry, immediately became alert.

"It's said that you women have long hair and short knowledge, and you only focus on the crotch." Xu Damao raised his eyebrows at the second uncle in a pretentious manner. The second uncle nodded and said, "Jingru, Damao and I are waiting for an opportunity to defeat Shazhu once and for all."

"Yes, even though his wife is from the street and he is the monitor of the cafeteria, if his work style gets out of hand and he gets involved in matters between men and women, he will be doomed."

Qin Jingru asked: "What about men and women? Who is he with?"

"Lou Xiao'e, this Lou Xiao'e comes to the yard every day and holds Sha Zhu's little beast tightly and won't let go. Do you think that little beast is so lovable? If so, why don't you hold him?"

The second uncle complained in his heart: "She really wants people to let her hold her." However, the second uncle still took over Xu Damao's words and said: "Lou Xiao'e and Sha Zhu were unclear before, didn't Damao block them?"

"Yes, it is because of what happened before that we believe Lou Xiao'e came to the yard for a purpose. She was nice to that little beast because she wanted to replace Yu Li when she was with Sha Zhu in the future. But they don't know that there are two pairs of eyes staring at them, waiting for them to break the law. Then..." Xu Damao raised his glass and clinked it with the second uncle, then drank it in one gulp and sang: "Look at the dark thieves in front, it must be the thieves' lair. When I catch up, I will kill him cleanly~~~"

The second uncle also laughed after drinking: "Haha, let's kill him together."

Qin Jingru was not as optimistic as them. She was in the courtyard every day and saw everything Lou Xiao'e did. She had never seen Sha Zhu get mad at Lou Xiao'e. However, she had just been slapped in the face and knew that Xu Damao was feeling proud at the moment. If she ruined his good mood, she would inevitably get beaten again. So, she didn't present facts and reason with the two drunkards. Anyway, there was nothing happy to do recently, so she just let them enjoy themselves. Being a happy fool might not be a bad thing.
