Siheyuan: Sizhu starts blindly and takes a new path

Qin Jingru was suddenly mentioned and was stunned for a moment. She wanted to go up and beat Xu Damao a few times to vent her anger, but she was worried that Xu Damao would not marry her in the future because of this, so she was in a dilemma.

The uncle shouted for a long time before the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Jia family stopped, allowing Xu Damao to catch his breath, but there was no good flesh on his face left.

Although Xu Damao was beaten, he still cried out for injustice. As smart as he was, he knew that he couldn't let the bad reputation of a bad marriage fall on him, so he had to muddy the waters. "Why should Yu Li say what she wants? Yu Li is Sha Zhu's wife. They just went out together and ran into me. I greeted him out of kindness, and Sha Zhu came over to beat me. Yu Li was afraid that Sha Zhu would be arrested by the police for injuring me and would have to pay for medical expenses, so she wronged me. Uncle, I really was wronged."

When the second uncle heard Xu Damao mention him specifically, he knew that he wanted his help, but there was no one to testify, so he could only say something ambiguous: "You said that they were a couple who wronged you, but now it's also your one-sided statement. No one can say for sure. You still need to come up with evidence that is more favorable to you."

After listening to the second uncle's words, Xu Damao was still thinking about the evidence in his favor.

Sha Zhu asked, "Xu Damao, did you see that I left the yard with Yu Li?"

"Yes, I saw you two leave the yard together." Xu Damao answered subconsciously.

"Uncle, you have to say something." Sha Zhu turned to the uncle.

The third uncle came out to testify: "Just now, Shazhu came to my house and brought me some peanuts and sunflower seeds. He asked me to keep the gate open for him at night. He might be back late. He could lock the gate when he comes back, so I wouldn't have to bother him. After that, I sent him out. Yu Li didn't come into my house, nor was she in the yard. She must have left the yard first."

"Then maybe Yu Li was waiting for Sha Zhu at the screen wall, and the third uncle wasn't watching, and then they left the yard together."

"Xu Damao, there are witnesses, but you are still quibbling. I think you are a habitual liar. Do you want us to vote and kick you out of the yard?" The old man felt that he had found a chance to reconcile with Sha Zhu.

"You say you want to chase me away from my Xu family's ancestral home? You're dreaming." Xu Damao began to make unreasonable demands.

"Then do you admit what you just said?"

"I don't admit it." Xu Damao knew that he could not admit it even if he was beaten to death. Otherwise, not only would his reputation be ruined, but if his father-in-law Lou Bancheng knew about it, he would definitely be in trouble.

Sha Zhu had long thought that Xu Damao would not admit it. Without direct witnesses, both sides had their own opinions and it was unclear. Everyone knew it in their hearts. The important thing was to let Yu Li see Xu Damao's true character and not be deceived in the future. He beat him up for nothing and stretched his muscles, which was enough for him.

Mrs. Jia originally wanted to take advantage of Xu Damao's slander of Qin Huairu's innocence to extort some money from him, but it seems that she has no chance now.

The old man also understood that he could only scare the person into giving up, and if that didn't work then he could just let it go. Anyway, he had already taken advantage of the situation to help Zhuzi.

So the third uncle announced the adjournment of the meeting.

Sha Zhu then sent Yu Li home, and each family had a rest.

Xu Damao's house was bustling with activity. Lou Xiao'e had never suffered such humiliation since she was a child. She picked up a feather duster and hit him, saying, "I'm sorry to bother you." After a few hits, she started to pack up her things crying and prepared to go back to her parents' home.

How could Xu Damao dare to let Lou Xiao'e go home crying? Did she not want to live? He immediately knelt down and swore that he had never said those words, and if he had, he would have no descendants.

Lou Xiao'e covered his mouth to prevent him from talking nonsense and implicating her: "You are my husband, and you have no children or grandchildren, so it's the same for me. Are you cursing yourself or me? It seems that you really didn't say anything."

"How dare I? If I tell you, you'll divorce me and I'll have no children or grandchildren."

"You still want to divorce me?" Lou Xiao'e picked up the feather duster and slapped it a few more times. When she was tired, she sat on the bed and cried. "Da Mao, can you stop provoking Sha Zhu? He always gets hurt. Why do you do that?" Lou Xiao'e knew that Xu Damao wanted to mess up Sha Zhu's marriage, but she was not sure whether he had said he would marry Yu Li. All the actions just now were to deceive Xu Damao.

"No, Sha Zhu and I cannot coexist." Xu Damao became vicious when he heard Sha Zhu's name.

Lou Xiao'e looked at Xu Damao's distorted face and felt helpless.

"Do you understand what's going on?" The third uncle asked the third aunt while lying on the bed.

"What's going on? It's just Xu Damao who's causing trouble and messing up Sha Zhu's marriage. Only he can do such a bastard thing." The third aunt was indignant for Sha Zhu.

"Xu Damao did interfere, but why didn't Sha Zhu let Yu Li into our house or wait at our door? Wasn't he afraid that it would be unsafe at night?" Seeing that his wife was not understanding, the third uncle raised the key question.

"You mean? Hiss..." Auntie was incredulous, "Does Stupid Zhu have that kind of brain?"

"Shazhu has changed. He seems to understand a lot and he doesn't do stupid things anymore. Think about it, since his eyesight recovered, besides beating Xu Damao, who else has he done stupid things with?" The third uncle continued to guide.

The third aunt thought for a long time and said, "You are right. He has indeed not done anything wrong to anyone recently. It's just that he seldom talks to people in the yard. I didn't pay much attention to it. I guess others are the same. Old Yan, you are still very observant."

"Don't use idioms carelessly. But it doesn't matter. We haven't offended him anyway. Testifying for him today can be considered a favor." The third uncle calculated.

"Don't forget it. Shazhu has found a wife. You must find Mrs. You tomorrow and settle the matter with her."

"Yes, I won't go fishing tomorrow morning. I will go find her."

The next day, Yu Li came to the courtyard early and together with Yu Shui cleaned Sha Zhu's house inside and out, even the corner under the bed was not spared. Seeing that his wife was busy, Sha Zhu also helped to lift the cabinets, move the beds, and put away the heavy things. Then he prepared meals and took care of the logistics so that no one would go hungry.

After dinner, Yu Li wanted to listen to stories again. Yu Shui had also heard the two stories told by her sister-in-law yesterday, so she wanted to join in the fun and listen too.

Sha Zhu couldn't think of any interesting stories for a while, so he asked the two girls: "I said the story of the shipwreck is similar to Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai. You have also heard the story of Tianchi turning into a dragon. Do you think this story is similar to the stories you have heard before?"

One of them graduated from high school, and the other is currently attending a technical secondary school which is very difficult to get into. It can be said that both of them are good at studying. After thinking for a long time, I still couldn't understand what Shazhu meant, and was limited by inertial thinking.

“You’ve all read the story of the ugly duckling turning into a white swan.”

"Well, I've read it too much. It's a story from the Complete Collection of Andersen's Fairy Tales translated by Mr. Ye Junjian a few years ago."

(Readers, please remember every senior who brought us good stories)

"So are there any similarities between Tianchi Hualong and the ugly duckling?"

"Oh, they all went from being ugly or being rejected by others to becoming things that ordinary people cannot reach." After all, Yu Li was influenced by "Butterfly Lovers".

"So why are there several eggs of different colors in the same nest? What story is this the same as?"

"Could it be that the cuckoo has taken over the magpie's nest?" Yu Shui also reacted.

"Yes, it's the cuckoo occupying the magpie's nest." Sha Zhu glanced at Qin Huairu who was washing clothes outside the window while speaking, "Can you think of anything else?"

Both the aunt and the sister-in-law shook their heads.

"Why did the dragon want to occupy the magpie's nest? Why did Ugly have to go to Tianchi Lake to transform into a golden dragon? Is it because they were cursed?" Sha Zhu continued, "Then the story of the Frog Prince from Grimm's Fairy Tales is about a curse that was later resolved. Maybe there were stories about curses in my country a long time ago, but I don't know. I can only use the stories in Grimm's Fairy Tales as examples."

(In 1934, Shanghai Commercial Press published the "Complete Collection of Grimm's Fairy Tales", which was translated by Mr. Wei Yixin, who was working at the Tongji University Library at the time, with the help of a German professor Wilhelm Ot hmer. This was also the first complete collection of Grimm's Fairy Tales in China. There is also a version of "Complete Collection of Grimm's Fairy Tales" on the market, which was translated by Mr. Yang Wuneng in 1993 and published by Nanjing Yilin Publishing House. It is a brand new Chinese translation after the founding of the People's Republic of China.
