Siheyuan: Lou Xiao'e, Yu Li and the Savage Woman

"Uncle, if you want to eat mushrooms, go buy them yourself. Don't try to take advantage of me."

In Xu Damao's opinion, Yan Laokou just wanted to take advantage of the string of dried mushrooms on his handlebars.

"If you don't want to listen, forget it. Anyway, this secret is about your wife."

"How could I, a teacher, plot against your mushrooms?"

Yan Bugui turned around and pretended to walk home.

Xu Damao pulled him back.

"Uncle, I was wrong. I said the wrong thing."

"Come on, tell me, what happened to my wife?"

I went to the countryside to show movies for three days and just came back this evening.

As a result, before he even reached home, he was stopped by the courtyard door god and told that he knew his wife's secret.

This made Xu Damao wonder if Lou Xiao'e was cheating on him?

Yan Bugui said nothing, he just pointed at the string of dried mushrooms.

"Uncle, just tell me now, I will definitely give you the mushrooms."

Xu Damao urged, he was very anxious now.

"Lou Xiao'e went out with the deaf old lady this morning and bought a piece of clothing. Do you know who is wearing this piece of clothing now?"

Yan Bugui kept the secret.

"Just tell me quickly!" Xu Damao said anxiously.

Yan Bugui pointed at the string of dried mushrooms again.

The implication is to get the mushroom before continuing.

In order to hear the secret as quickly as possible, Xu Damao threw the string of dried mushrooms on the handlebars to Yan Bugui.

"That new dress is now on Shazhu's body..."

Yan Bugui happily took the mushroom in his hand.

Coincidentally, he came back from school today and came to the backyard to see if the new resident still needed help.

As a result, I saw the deaf old lady giving a new piece of clothing to Sha Zhu.

He clearly remembered that it was Lou Xiao'e who accompanied the deaf old lady out to buy clothes in the morning.

Therefore, Yan Bugui speculated that the new clothes worn by Sha Zhu might have been bought with the money from Lou Xiao'e.

Seeing Xu Damao's expression was not right, he quickly reminded him softly: "Da Mao, don't tell outsiders that I told you."

Xu Damao was furious and pushed his bicycle across the front yard to the middle yard.

"Stop, come out here."

"What's up, man? What do you want to call me for?"

Sha Zhu walked out of the house.

He was wearing a brand new sky blue Zhongshan suit.

"Silly Zhu, who bought you this dress?"

At this moment, Xu Damao felt that what the third uncle said might be true.

"I bought it myself. I'm a chef, so I don't have to worry about food or drink. What's wrong with buying a piece of clothing?"

Sha Zhu's answer was so arrogant.

"fart!"

"I see that this dress of yours was clearly bought for you by your mother..."

Before he could finish, Sha Zhu rushed over and said, "Grandson, I see you're itching again."

His mother passed away many years ago, and Sha Zhu hates it most when others talk about this.

"Silly Zhu, I won't argue with you. I'll settle the score with you after I figure it out."

Xu Damao pushed his bicycle towards the backyard.

He knew very well that he was no match for Sha Zhu.

So we can't confront it head on...

I came to the backyard and prepared to go into the house to ask my wife what was going on.

At this time, Liu Haizhong from the east room waved at him.

"Da Mao, come here quickly, I have something urgent to tell you."

After parking the bicycle, Xu Damao walked over.

"Second uncle, what's the matter? You have to tell me now."

"I just came back from the countryside and haven't even had time to drink water."

All he could think about now was whether his wife had bought clothes for Sha Zhu?

Liu Haizhong asked calmly: "Da Mao, do you want to be an official?"

Xu Damao frowned.

what's going on?

What does this old guy want to do?

Being an official hasn’t always been what you wanted to do most!

Xu Damao suspected that the other party might be trying to trick him.

"Second uncle, if you have anything to say, just say it directly. Don't beat around the bush."

Liu Haizhong nodded: "Section Chief Zhou of your Propaganda Department had an accident today. As long as you do as I say, I guarantee that you can at least become a deputy section chief."

Xu Damao's eyes lit up.

If only I could become the deputy chief of the Propaganda Department.

Then won’t you have to walk around this yard with your head held high from now on?

"Second uncle, let's go out and talk. I'll treat you to a drink..."

Afterwards, Xu Damao took Liu Haizhong to a nearby public-private partnership tavern.

I ordered half a pound of Erguotou, a small dish of peanuts, and a small dish of pickles.

"Second Uncle, how can I become the deputy director of the Propaganda Department?"

Xu Damao poured a glass for Liu Haizhong personally.

He pinched two peanuts with his hands and put them into his mouth. Liu Haizhong said slowly, "Section Chief Zhou fell down the stairs today and broke his waist. He will probably have to retire early and go home to recuperate."

"I guess the deputy section chief will be promoted to full section chief, so won't the deputy section chief position be vacant?"

"If you, Xu Damao, want to get the position of deputy section chief, it would be best if you can make some achievements within a short period of time."

After saying this, Liu Haizhong drank a glass.

"Second uncle, how can I make meritorious deeds?"

It's not easy for a movie projector to gain credit.

"It's simple. You know better than me what your wife's family did before."

"You just need to pick two things your father-in-law did wrong in the past, write them down in written form, and then I'll hand them over to Deputy Director Li for you. Wouldn't that be equivalent to making a contribution?"

The reason why Liu Haizhong was willing to help Xu Damao was to be able to show off in front of Deputy Director Li.

In fact, he also wanted to be the deputy chief of the Propaganda Department, but he didn't have much knowledge.

So we can only settle for the next best thing.

First leave a good impression in front of the leader, and he will definitely get the benefits in the future.

"Second uncle, you are asking me to kill my own relatives for the sake of justice!"

"Then Lou Xiao'e must divorce me!"

Only then did Xu Damao react.

Go to the factory to report my father-in-law.

That's treason!

"Da Mao, you are Lou Bancheng's son-in-law, so your path to becoming an official is blocked."

"But if you can report him, your superiors will definitely think you are a good young man with integrity and aspirations."

"Besides, if the old doesn't go, the new won't come."

"At worst, I can introduce you to a wife in a couple of days!"

Liu Haizhong has made up his mind.

There are not many opportunities to perform in front of the leader, so he must seize it.

"Second uncle, can you really help me find a wife?"

If he could really marry a new wife, he could carefully consider the suggestion made by Liu Haizhong.

Because he and Lou Xiao'e have been married for almost two years, but she hasn't laid an egg yet.

He suspected that there was something wrong with Lou Xiao'e's health.

Faced with his parents' constant urging for a grandchild, Xu Damao had already planned to divorce.

And today, Uncle San also told him that Lou Xiao'e bought Sha Zhu a new piece of clothing...

She can't have children and she's cheating on him.

At this moment, Xu Damao has made up his mind that the marriage must be ended.

In addition, over the past year or so, he often asked Lou Xiao'e to go back to her parents' home to ask for money.

At this point, he had saved a lot of money, and it was time to consider his career...

"Da Mao, don't worry! I will definitely introduce you to a kind, beautiful and capable daughter-in-law."

"If you don't believe me, I'll arrange for you to meet that girl in two days."

"It just so happens that my distant second uncle's cousin has a granddaughter who is of marriageable age. I can arrange a meeting for you at any time."

Xu Damao excitedly picked up the wine glass in front of him: "Second Uncle, I won't say anything, I will listen to you..."

…………

At the same time, Cao Haotian, who had finished dinner at Zhao Guoqiang's house, returned to the courtyard.

Taking out a plate of fried peanuts from the space, he knocked on Lou Xiao'e's door.
