Siheyuan: Five mouths waiting for food at the beginning

Lou Xiao'e thought that Xu Damao was getting married for the second time. He was notorious for not being able to lay eggs, so he would at most marry a country girl or a disabled girl from the city.

I didn't expect that he would marry a girl who is as beautiful and gentle as her. Was this girl stupid at the time?

Lou Xiao'e actually underestimated Xu Damao. Xu Damao is a top blood master in the play. He was able to find Yu Haitang, who was ambitious but incompetent, for his third marriage. With his mouth, it would be easy for him to deceive a young girl.

But Zhao Shanhe really looked down on Silly Gezi. He had saved their marriage in the past. He had even saved Xu Damao's infertility. However, he was still fooled by the deaf old lady and they didn't end up together.

Also, this woman's heart is not on her husband's side. The irony in the play is very accurate. She was not on Xu Damao's side in the first half of her life, and she suffered retribution in the second half of her life. Even though he gave birth to a son for Sha Zhu, Sha Zhu's heart was still on Qin Huairu. Alas, it was fate.

"Hello, Mrs. Xu, I'm Lou Xiao'e, and I'm glad to meet you, too. This is my son Lou Xiao."

"Son, call someone" x2

"Hello, Aunt Lou."

"Hello, Aunt Xu"

The sons of both sides sent greetings to each other. Zhao Shanhe knew that the two women had only exchanged tentative greetings and the real confrontation had not yet begun. It was originally a matter between Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e, but husband and wife are one, and now that Zhou Yuanyuan has come on the field, the winner will always be decided.

Zhao Shanhe was prepared to be a spectator to avoid being injured by mistake.

Before Lou Xiao'e and Zhou Yuanyuan had even started their conversation, Xu Damao cut in. "Lou Xiao'e, I'm just asking you, how are you? How are my wife and son? I don't need to envy you. I'm telling you that you've made a mistake in showing off. I, Xu Damao, am no longer the same as I used to be."

"Xu Damao, you are too narrow-minded, son, let's go."

Zhao Shanhe was eating a melon. How come the war ended before it even started?

Hearing that Lou Xiao'e was about to leave, Zhao Shanhe politely asked her to stay, "Miss Lou, please eat before you leave. It's already noon."

Before Lou Xiao'e could answer, there was another knock on the door, and then someone pushed the door open and came in.

Qin Huairu pushed the door open and found a bunch of people in the room. It was so lively.

"Why are you here? What's the matter?" Zhao Shanhe asked.

"Shanhe, you're back. I thought you hadn't eaten yet, so I asked you to go to my house for dinner."

"Oh, I appreciate your kindness. I'll ask Aunt Chen to do it for me, so I won't go over there."

"You are Qin Huairu, right?" Lou Xiao'e asked

"you are?"

"Lou Xiao'e, do you have any impression?"

Qin Huairu thought, no wonder it was so lively, Xu Damao's whole family was here, it turned out that his ex-wife was back, there was something interesting to see.

"Yes, after all, you have lived in the hospital for several years, how could you not have any impression of it? Are you back from outside?"

"Yes, my father is coming back, so we are coming back with him. Sister Qin, I haven't seen you for many years. How come you have aged so much? You even have white hair. We women need to pay attention to our skin care. I will give you a few boxes of cosmetics later."

Qin Huairu didn't know whether Lou Xiao'e gave her the cosmetics out of kindness or was mocking her for being old, but the look in her eyes when she looked at Lou Xiao'e was quite sincere.

Qin Huairu, who was born in 1933, is already fifty years old. Her husband passed away early, and she has worked so hard over the years that how could she not age? Besides, a woman's shelf life is short.

"No need. I usually stay at home and don't go out. Who should I dress up for? Besides, I'm already a grandmother. How can I not look old?"

"Of course it's Shazhu. You two were so close back then. You should be together now, right?"

"Miss Lou, please don't talk nonsense. Sha Zhu has married and his son is grown up. If you say this and it gets out, won't it make me and Sha Zhu's family quarrel?"

"What? If Sha Zhu can get married, who would marry him? He doesn't like this or that, but he's pestering you, isn't he? What happened during these years that I was away? He feels so strange now."

Zhao Shanhe was sure that she was still that rich girl, the silly girl who spoke without thinking, and Qin Huairu was also sure that she was indeed silly.

Qin Huairu was embarrassed. She didn't know what to say. Should she say that He Yushui had plotted against her and her home had been robbed? In recent years, as her son and daughter have become successful with Zhao Shanhe, and she usually takes care of her grandchildren, she has been living a good life.

Before Qin Huairu could speak, Xu Damao took over the conversation, "Lou Xiao'e, I see you didn't come to see us, you came to see a joke."

Zhao Shanhe saw that the situation was tense, so he had to come out to smooth things over. If he didn't come out, it would become a Shura scene. "Miss Lou, you have indeed changed a lot in these years since you left. You will understand it slowly when you come back."

"Da Mao, please stop talking. It's thoughtful of Miss Lou to come back and visit us old neighbors. I believe that Miss Lou's words were unintentional, so please don't take it to heart."

Zhao Shanhe had no idea how Lou Xiao'e had been doing in Hong Kong Island over the years and why she hadn't made any progress. Anyway, he could no longer cooperate with Lou Xiao'e in business.

"Yes, I also feel that the changes are too great. Sister Qin, you are already a grandmother, and my son is only this old. My son sends his regards to your Aunt Qin."

"Hello Aunt Qin"

"Xiao E, is this your son? What's his name?" Qin Huairu asked

"Lou Xiao,"

"The child is really handsome. It's up to you. Where's the child's father? Didn't he come back with you?"

Everyone also pierced their ears. The surname is Lou, so what is the surname of the child’s father?

"The child's father is gone. He died of illness two years ago."

"I'm sorry, I don't know. I shouldn't have asked."

"It's okay. I've gotten used to it in the past two years. My son has been with me all the time. It's just hard for the child."

"Yes, it's not easy for you either. I know how it feels. Dongxu passed away early, and I raised three children by myself, and also had to take care of my mother-in-law. Children without a father are indeed miserable.

Fortunately, my son and daughter have been successful in the past two years and have given me a grandson. We are living a good life. You just need to wait for your son to grow up and enjoy your life in the future."

"Sister-in-law of the Jia family, how can you compare yourself with Lou Xiao'e? She is the daughter of a capitalist. How can her child suffer?" Xu Damao said sarcastically.

Qin Huairu also reacted, but she was busy comforting others and forgot that their family was wealthy and different from hers. It was indeed hard for her to take care of three children and mother-in-law, but how hard could it be for others who had a capitalist father?

"Come and have dinner," Aunt Chen called out

"Auntie Chen, you guys eat. I've prepared everything at home. I originally came here to invite Shanhe to dinner," Qin Huairu said and left.

"Aunt, we'll go back first." Xu Damao said hello and left with his wife and son.

"Miss Lou, don't complain about the poor cooking. Stay and have some." Aunt Chen said to Lou Xiao'e

"Okay, Shanhe, please tell me about what's happened in the hospital in the past few years. It has changed a lot from what I imagined."
