Xu Damao's Thirty-Six Stratagems in Siheyuan

Lou Xiao'e was indeed pregnant. Xu Damao informed his parents and his father-in-law and mother-in-law within one day, which made Xu's mother and Tan Yali very happy.

Xu Damao had two more places to go to before the New Year to present movies to the countryside. While he was in Changping, he took time out to visit Qinjia Village.

"Xu Fangying, why are you here? I didn't hear that the village was going to show a movie?"

"Uncle, I'm not here to show movies in the village. I'm going to Shijia Village, Liujia Village, and Mayufang to show movies today. I came here specifically to find Huairu. Is she at home?" Xu Damao answered Qin Huairu's father's question.

"Huairu and her sister-in-law have gone to the fields. I'll call them for you."

"Okay, I'll wait at home."

Qin Huairu was working in the fields. When she heard that Xu Damao came to see her, she really didn't know why. Although she and Xu Damao had had physical contact, after all, both of them had their own families. She didn't expect Xu Damao to treat her well. She really felt that the Jia family was a sea of ​​suffering and that she had a bad fate.

"Da Mao, why are you here?"

"Huai Ru, I heard from my Xiao E a few days ago that you have been back to your parents' home for half a month. What's up? The two Dong Xu haven't come to call you home yet? What are you going to do during the New Year?"

"What else can I do? Just wait. Although it's not appropriate to spend the New Year at my parents' home, I don't have any better solutions now. If nothing works, then we can just get a divorce."

"Qin Huairu, are you willing to give up your son? Are you willing to give up the child in your belly? Why are you getting a divorce now that your belly is so big?"

Qin Huairu burst into tears and went straight forward to hug Xu Damao, "Damo, I can't do anything. I can only blame myself for having a miserable life."

"Huairu, don't do this, let go first. I have something to tell you."

Qin Huairu then let go of Xu Damao's neck and wiped away her tears.

"Huairu, if Jia Dongxu comes to call you home in a few days, then you should go back to the compound first. As for what will happen in the future, it depends on your own determination. Don't be too anxious. After the New Year, I will see if there is a temporary job for you. If by any chance, you really get divorced, I will find a way to find you a job so that you can support yourself. It is true that Jia Dongxu is not a good guy, and in fact, maybe all men are not good guys. However, you really need to stand up for yourself. Otherwise, your life will be difficult. Although I, Xu Damao, have been good to you twice, I can't help you too much, especially in Compound No. 95. You have to control your own destiny. As for the rest, you can decide for yourself."

"Da Mao, I am satisfied with what you said. I don't regret having a good relationship with you, and I won't force you to do anything for me, so don't worry."

"Huairu, here is ten yuan. I don't have any more. Keep it for self-defense." Xu Damao handed the money he had prepared to Qin Huairu. After some twists and turns, Qin Huairu finally took the money and put it in her own pocket.

Qin Huairu pulled Xu Damao into her room, put Xu Damao's hand in her arms to warm it, looked at Xu Damao with great love, and whispered "Da Mao, Damao..."

The heated kang in the room was very warm. Xu Damao now knew that he was a scumbag. When he touched the tall and round breasts and the smooth belly, his body reacted unconsciously.

It's our will, Xu Damao has once again made a breakthrough with Qin Huairu...

They had lunch at Qin's house. Qin's parents were very polite and said to Xu Damao, "Xu Fangying, please help me take care of my daughter in the city. Alas... my family is poor and we can't afford to go to the city. Otherwise, I really want Huairu to come back and take care of her myself."

"Uncle, aunt, I will. I will try my best to help Huairu. If I have the chance in the future, I will find a job for Huairu and try to help her get out of this predicament."

After dinner, Qin Huairu sent Xu Damao for several miles before she stopped and watched from afar as Xu Damao rode his bicycle to Shijia Village, which was far away from Qinjia Village, before returning home.

Qin Huairu got home and took out the money Xu Damao had given her from her pocket. She took out two two-dollar bills and one-dollar bill and gave them to Qin's mother. "Mom, Xu Damao gave me ten dollars for self-defense. I kept five dollars for myself. I'll spend the five dollars at home during the New Year. The son-in-law from the city should come to visit in a few days. I'll go back to the city with him. Don't worry, your daughter knows what's going on. If he hits me again, I'll definitely hit him back. Xu Damao said he would find a job for me, and he will definitely find one. Don't worry."

Qin Huairu once again shocked Qin's parents. You know, ten yuan is a lot of money in Qinjia Village.

In fact, ten dollars is really a lot of money, and it is a considerable sum no matter where you go.

Mother Qin had no choice but to accept the five yuan. With these five yuan, she could have a more peaceful New Year.

Just as Qin Huairu expected, Jia Dongxu arrived at Qinjia Village early in the morning on this week's holiday, carrying a snack. Qin Huairu didn't say much, neither did she let Jia Dongxu have lunch at her parents' house, nor did she make any move to let her parents take charge of teaching Jia Dongxu a lesson. She rolled up her bag and followed Jia Dongxu back to Courtyard 95. It was the thirteenth day of the twelfth lunar month.

The house is a mess, as messy as it can be.

Qin Huairu pretended not to see it and just tidied up the bed beside where she slept. The Jia family's house was small, and they finally built a room for weddings. In fact, it couldn't be called a room properly, it was more appropriate to call it a pigeon cage.

Her son Banggeng's face was dirty and greasy. Qin Huairu felt that her son had not washed his face since she left.

I washed my face with a hot water bottle and the water turned black.

At around four or five in the afternoon, Qin Huairu wanted to cook, but when she looked, the flour bag was empty. She searched everywhere but found nothing.

Qin Huairu hurriedly took advantage of the hot water in the thermos and drank some to relieve her hunger. After all, she had eaten a bowl of sweet potato porridge in the morning and had not eaten anything else. She was hungry. One person's body, two people's consumption.

"Qin Huairu, you are going to die. It's already dark, and you haven't cooked yet. If you keep doing this, get out of here and go back to your hometown."

Jia Zhang cursed loudly. She was missing two front teeth and was indeed a little loose.

Qin Huairu ignored the scolding of the mother-in-law. She had no strength and was hungry. She thought it was better to save some energy.

Jia Dongxu walked into the house, "Huairu, now that you're back, hurry up and cook. Mom is scolding me. Besides, I'm hungry too."

"Jia Dongxu, what do you want me to cook with? Let me go to the yard and dig dirt to cook for you. You are the ones who are in charge of this family. Don't you know if there is food at home?"

Jia Dongxu then remembered that there was indeed no food at home. He made some porridge with the last bit of corn flour yesterday. He went out early this morning, intending to bring back some food from Qinjia Village. Unexpectedly, he didn't get any food, and he couldn't even have lunch.

He was also starving. "Huairu, go borrow some food from the residents. We have to have dinner anyway."

"If you want to borrow it, go and borrow it. I don't have the face to borrow it. If I borrow it, I have to pay it back, and I can't afford it."

Jia Dongxu had no choice but to go to Yi Zhonghai's house across the street. He was actually afraid, because he had just cheated Yi Zhonghai out of 20 yuan last week and lost it.

"Master's wife, where is my master?"

"Your master has gone to the toilet. Dongxu, is there anything you need from your master?"

"It's the same even if Master's wife is here. I forgot to buy food yesterday. Master's wife, do you have any extra rice or flour at home? Lend me some to get through tonight."

"Wait, I'll give you a bowl of corn noodles for emergency. Dongxu, the New Year is coming soon, buy what you need as soon as possible. Supplies are in short supply now. If you're late, you may not be able to buy them even if you have the money."

"I understand, Master's wife." Jia Dongxu took the ceramic bowl of corn noodles handed to him by an old lady, turned around and walked out the door, heading home.

Yi Zhonghai just happened to come back and saw Jia Dongxu coming out of his house. He went back to the house and asked,

"Guifang, why did Dongxu come home in such a hurry?"

"He said that his family didn't buy food, so he borrowed a bowl of cornmeal and went back, waiting to cook it."

"How could that be? A few days ago he said he was using the money to buy food. How come he ran out of food after just a week? It shouldn't be that serious."

Yi Zhonghai was a little confused.
