Siheyuan: I stand for Xu Damao because he is my brother

The spirited Xiao Xu wanted to watch the show live.

But after waiting for a long time, there was no movement in the yard.

After Sha Zhu roared like that, there was no movement at all. It was so quiet that it seemed a little abnormal.

What Xu Dacan didn't know was that just because Qin Huairu mentioned Xu Damao, Sha Zhu actually listened to it.

Later, Qin Huairu expressed her feelings to him directly, and he became hesitant again.

He had licked Qin Huairu for so many years, spent so much money, and given so many lunch boxes, wasn't it just for this day?

But when Qin Huairu finally gave in, Sha Zhu himself wavered again. He found that he didn't seem to like Qin Huairu that much anymore. Instead, the shadow of Ran Qiuye could not be shaken off in his mind.

"..."

In this way, the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month arrived peacefully.

Today is the day for the family reunion party in Siheyuan.

Near noon, Yu Li was dressed in new clothes from head to toe. After Liu Yueru helped her dress up, she couldn't help but say, "Sister-in-law, should I go with you?"

But Yu Li refused and said, "Don't bother me anymore. You're pregnant. If you get mad at someone, and something goes wrong, your Dacan will burn the whole yard down!"

Liu Yueru's eyes were filled with worry: "But none of them are at home, and you went there alone, isolated and helpless. Have you thought about what kind of situation you will face?"

Yu Li put her hair behind her ears and said, "Our men are all reliable. If they haven't come back yet, they must be stuck with something. I am not alone. When my man comes back, I want to see what kind of faces they have."

As Yu Li spoke, the corners of her mouth raised in a beautiful arc, pretending to be extremely confident on the surface.

But Liu Yueru clearly saw that her hands hidden in her sleeves were shaking.

Yu Li went back into the house and got a stool, then took a deep breath and went to the front yard.

Those people really couldn't wait any longer.

Unexpectedly, at the only table, Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui were sitting there with about five or six people.

Of course, Yi Zhonghai is in the middle. The second uncle and the third uncle have all fallen, but he, the first uncle, remains as still as a mountain.

Yi Zhonghai didn't say anything, and Liu Haizhong also became listless. Seeing this, Yan Bugui felt that he was doing well again.

He placed his enamelware pot in the middle of the table, with the pattern facing everyone, then put his hands into his sleeves and asked, "Who else is missing?"

In the end, no one paid any attention to him, which made Yan Bugui very embarrassed; Yi Zhonghai raised his eyelids and glanced at him, then closed his eyes slightly and rested.

At the critical moment, only his wife Yang Ruihua supported him: "Only Xu Lao Da and Xu Lao Er have not arrived yet!"

Yan Bugui finally came down the stairs, and with a pair of resentful eyes he stared fiercely at Yu Li, who was sitting alone beside him: "Hey, who is that? What's going on?"

Unexpectedly, Yu Li really didn't give him any face at all. She sneered disdainfully and rolled her eyes.

Yan Bu slapped the table with an air of nobility: "I'm talking to you!"

Before Li responded, a sarcastic voice sounded from behind the crowd: "Qin Jingru, I have a question for you!"

Behind Yang Ruihua, Qin Jingru stood up and said, "Li Xianying, you are talking nonsense! He was clearly calling Yu Li!"

Listening to the laughter of the neighbors in the yard, Yan Bugui wished he could go down and shut his daughter-in-law's mouth.

No one will think you are dumb if you don’t speak!

Yu Li then said slowly: "Oh, so you are talking to me? Why didn't anyone call my name from beginning to end?"

Yan Bugui actually imitated Sha Zhu and started knocking on the jar: "Yu Li, let me ask you, where are Xu Damao and Xu Dacan?"

Yu Li didn't even bother to look at him, but explained to everyone: "My husband and my brother-in-law might have been stuck with something, and they didn't even come back for lunch. You don't have to wait for them, I'm here."

As soon as Yu Li finished speaking, Li Xianying agreed, "That makes sense. The two Directors Xu are both very busy people, and they are busy with important matters. I think there is no need to wait for them for trivial matters like the tea party."

At the back of the row, Liu Gen also echoed, "That's right. It's so cold, let's get started quickly. Let's disperse early and go back to the house to warm up."

Isn't this a slap in the face of Yan Bugui?

Yan Bugui's face was as dark as it could be. He stared at Yu Li and said, "Oh my, your eldest and second Xu are so high-ranking. How high-ranking are you to be able to represent them?"

The implication is that Yu Li is a second-time bride who has no self-control and took the initiative to get into Xu Damao's bed just to become an official's wife.

Yu Li stood up in anger and for the first time looked at Yan Bugui, whom she hated so much, and said bluntly: "Who am I? I am Xu Damao's legal wife, and I sleep in the same bed with him!"

As expected, Yan Bugui's defense was easily broken again: "You, you, you have no shame! You even have the nerve to talk about sleeping in front of so many people!"

He was stumbling and hadn't even finished shaking his head when another voice interrupted him rudely, "My sister-in-law and I were introduced by our work units, and we got our marriage certificates from the street office. We also got married in the presence of our parents, relatives and friends. But everyone knows that your Yan Jiecheng and Qin Jingru slept together before they even got their marriage certificates!"

Yan Bugui almost spat out a mouthful of blood: "You..."

Without waiting for anyone to speak, Yu Li rushed over and said to her nervously, "Sister-in-law, I didn't ask you to come!"

Liu Yueru said coldly: "If I hadn't come, I wouldn't have known that this old man bullied you so much! Don't worry, sister-in-law, I want to see who dares to bully us today!"

At this, Yan Bugui and Liu Haizhong exchanged glances with each other, and they both thought of the last time they were beaten up by Xu Dacan, and they all wilted immediately.

Besides, who among the neighbors in the yard doesn’t know that Liu Haizhong wanted to bring people to raid Xu Dacan’s house last time, and ended up being fired from the factory?

These days, dismissal is second only to execution!

Seeing that everyone else was convinced, Liu Yueru took Yu Li's hand and sat down.

But at this moment, Sha Zhu couldn't swallow this breath, and said sarcastically: "The language of this village is different from that of the courtyard."

He was talking about Yu Li, who was sent to live with her aunt when she was young and later returned to her grandfather's home.

To the locals who were born and raised here, outsiders look like villagers.

But Liu Yueru retorted, "That's not true. Those of us who grew up in the alleys are really different from those who grew up selling buns on the street."
