Siheyuan: Buyers get rich from hunting

On the way to the home of He Yuzhu's blind date, the curiosity of the uncle Yi Zhonghai was completely aroused. He frowned slightly, with a puzzled and inquiring look in his eyes, and couldn't help asking: "Yuzhu, why did you say that Xu Damao's father-in-law was a fake father-in-law? Is there something we don't know?"

He Yuzhu felt more relaxed after hearing this. He trusted the uncle and knew that he was a man who could keep secrets. So, he raised a mysterious smile and said to the uncle in a low voice: "Uncle, you don't know yet? The child that Xu Damao's wife Zheng Niang is pregnant with is not his!"

When the uncle heard this, he was stunned, his eyes widened, as if he had heard the most incredible thing in the world. He didn't say anything for a long time, just pointed at He Yuzhu with a look of disbelief. After a long while, the uncle came back to his senses and stammered, "How...how is this possible? Didn't Xu Damao tell me that he was going to be a father? And his wife doesn't look like the kind of woman who would cheat on her husband!"

He Yuzhu chuckled, patted the uncle on the shoulder and said, "Uncle, don't disbelieve me. I can tell you that this is absolutely true. The child that Xu Damao's wife Zheng Niang is pregnant with is not his child at all. I saw it with my own eyes, and I am absolutely not wrong."

The uncle still found it hard to believe, but he felt that He Yuzhu had no reason to lie to him. He frowned, thought for a moment, and then asked, "Then how did you know about this? And who is this child?"

He Yuzhu saw this and knew that the uncle was shocked by his words. He chuckled, showing a mysterious expression, stretched out his hand and gently patted the uncle's shoulder, and comforted him: "Uncle, don't worry, this is absolutely true. I also heard about it accidentally. Think about it, what kind of person is Xu Damao? He is not good-looking and has a bad personality. He and his wife got married after knowing each other for two days, and they didn't meet through a blind date. No matter how you think about it, there must be something wrong, right?"

After listening to He Yuzhu's explanation, the old man frowned and his expression became more serious. He was silent for a while, then suddenly seemed to remember something and asked hurriedly: "Yuzhu, how did you know this? Is it reliable? Did you hear it from someone else?"

He Yuzhu was a little unhappy when he saw that the uncle didn't believe him, but he still patiently explained: "Uncle, can I lie to you? Liu Ping'an and I saw this. One of Ping'an's friends is a doctor. At that time, Zheng Niang hadn't married Xu Damao yet. The doctor saw that Zheng Niang was pregnant at a glance!"

When the old man heard this, he suddenly understood. He thought: It turned out that it was Liu Ping'an's friend who said it, so it's no wonder that He Yuzhu was so sure. After all, Liu Ping'an is the section chief, and his friend can be an ordinary person, so it seems that this is the case. Thinking of this, the old man couldn't help but sighed and said with emotion: "Oh, I didn't expect Xu Damao to have such an unknown past..."

He Yuzhu nodded vigorously and promised with a serious expression: "Uncle, you can rest assured! I will never tell anyone about this. I promise I will keep it to myself."

The uncle frowned and sighed deeply, his face full of worry. He slowly said, "Alas... I didn't expect that Xu Damao's family would have such a thing hidden. It's really unexpected. If this matter were known to everyone, I'm afraid the courtyard would explode. We all hope that the courtyard can always maintain harmony and peace, and we can't let this matter cause unnecessary conflicts and disputes."

He Yuzhu looked at the worried look of the uncle, and couldn't help but feel a little guilty. He quickly comforted him, "Uncle, don't worry too much. I know my limits and won't tell anyone about this. Our Siheyuan has always been a big family living in harmony. I believe everyone will understand and tolerate it."

The old man nodded, but there was still a trace of worry in his eyes. "Yuzhu, I know you are a sensible child, but once some things spread, it is difficult to control the situation. We must be careful to avoid causing unnecessary trouble."

He Yuzhu patted his chest heavily and assured the uncle: "Uncle, don't worry! I will always remember your teachings and will never let this matter affect the harmonious atmosphere of the courtyard. We still have to work together to maintain this warm family!"

The old man smiled with relief and said to He Yuzhu earnestly: "Well, Yuzhu, it's good that you can understand these principles. Remember, no matter what happens, we must adhere to the principles of unity, friendship and mutual assistance to jointly create a warm and harmonious living environment."

He Yuzhu looked at the old man gratefully, his heart full of respect. He knew that the old man was a kind and upright elder who had always cared about everyone in the courtyard. He secretly made up his mind to listen to the old man's teachings and live up to his expectations.

He Yuzhu nodded to show that he understood. He also knew that this matter was not something that could be discussed casually and he had to keep it a secret. So the two continued to walk towards the home of He Yuzhu's blind date, but along the way, the uncle was thinking about Xu Damao's matter and couldn't calm down for a long time.

Xu Damao was carrying a heavy bag of New Year's goods on his way back to his father-in-law's house. He felt like a huge rock was pressing down on his heart. The more he thought about it, the worse it felt. His face was gloomy, his brows were furrowed, and there was a hint of anger at the corners of his mouth. He cursed He Yuzhu in a low voice from time to time.

"This He Yuzhu is really getting more and more outrageous! He said it in public and deliberately made up stories. Isn't this obviously trying to disgust me? Humph, I, Xu Damao, am not that easy to bully. Next time, I will find a chance to take revenge and let him know how powerful I am!" Xu Damao swore secretly in his heart, with a hint of ruthlessness flashing in his eyes.

Finally, Xu Damao arrived at the door of his father-in-law's house and saw his wife Zheng Niang standing there. Her figure looked a little thin in the cold wind. Xu Damao's heart tightened and he ran over and said with concern: "Oh, it's so cold, why are you standing outside? Be careful not to catch a cold!" Then he quickly pulled Zheng Niang into the house.

Zheng Niang looked at Xu Damao with a smile, a hint of tenderness flashed in her eyes, and said, "I'm waiting for you. I knew you would come back today, so I thought of standing at the door to greet you." As she spoke, she reached out to help Xu Damao pat the dust off his body.

Xu Damao was touched by Zheng Niang's words, and he felt that he had married a good wife. However, he didn't know that Zheng Niang had just met her lover in a nearby corner, and he almost saw them. Zheng Niang's back was still sweating, and she was also panicked, but fortunately Xu Damao didn't notice anything unusual.

Zheng Niang quickly found an excuse, saying that she was going to the kitchen to help prepare the New Year's Eve dinner, and hurriedly left Xu Damao's sight. Xu Damao was sitting in the living room, still thinking about how to take revenge on He Yuzhu, and didn't notice Zheng Niang's abnormality at all.
