He Yuzhu returns in Siheyuan

Qin Huairu knew very well that if she continued to talk, she might end up making mistakes. So she quickly stopped the topic and said, "Uncle, I'll go back first. After all, Banggeng has to go to work soon."

Hearing this, Yi Zhonghai slapped his forehead suddenly, as if he suddenly remembered something important. He turned to look at Qin Huairu and asked, "Oh, by the way, Qin Huairu, where is Xu Damao in the backyard doing? When I passed by his house just now, I found that no one was at home."

Qin Huairu was slightly startled, but soon recovered and replied casually: "Uncle, you are talking about Xu Damao. He and Qin Jingru went to Xu Damao's father's place. I heard that Xu Damao's parents missed their child, so they asked them to go back to see him."

Yi Zhonghai nodded thoughtfully and said nothing more. Seeing this, Qin Huairu quickly picked up the few cornmeal in her hand and left in a hurry.

After Qin Huairu walked away, Yi Zhonghai looked at her departing figure and murmured to himself, "Since you can't be relied on, I can only place my hopes on Qin Jingru."

At this time, a lady quietly came to the door of He Yuzhu's house. It turned out that she was full of curiosity about the person who just appeared in the yard. She always felt that the face seemed familiar, but she was not sure. Finally, she couldn't suppress her strong curiosity and decided to come and see for herself.

An old lady walked slowly to the door of He Yuzhu's house. She raised her slightly rough hands, knocked gently on the door, and called out in a gentle voice: "Zhuzi, Xiuxiu, are you home?"

At this time, Ma Xiuxiu was sitting with Lou Xiaoe and He Yuzhu in the house and talking happily. When she heard a familiar voice coming from outside the door, Ma Xiuxiu stood up and walked towards the door with a smile, because she knew it was her good neighbor, Auntie, who had lived next door for many years.

Ma Xiuxiu came to the door, stretched out her hand to hold the door handle and slowly opened the door. With a warm smile on her face, she said, "Auntie, you are here. Please come in!"

However, Auntie was not in a hurry to step into the house. She stared at Ma Xiuxiu with her kind eyes and asked curiously, "Xiuxiu, I just saw a girl in your house. She looked very familiar, but I couldn't remember who she was for a moment. Can you tell me about her?"

Ma Xiuxiu was slightly stunned when she heard this, and then she kept it a secret and said to the aunt with a deliberate smile: "Auntie, you must know this person, why don't you go inside and take a look and you will know for sure."

At this moment, before Auntie could respond, Lou Xiao'e happened to walk to the door from the inner room. She stood there gracefully, looking at Auntie with a smile on her face, and said kindly: "Auntie, have you really forgotten me? Take a closer look and see if you can remember who I am."

I saw an old lady walking unsteadily, staring at the beautiful and elegant woman in front of her with confused eyes. She blinked her eyes and tried to search for the impression of this person in the depths of her memory, but she was unable to recognize her for a moment.

After all, Lou Xiao'e had been out for such a long time, so naturally no one recognized her at once.

So the old lady simply walked up to the woman, circled around her slowly, and muttered, "You are...you are Lou Xiao'e from the backyard? No, you left a long time ago!"

Hearing this, Lou Xiao'e couldn't help but smile. Her beautiful eyes looked at Auntie tenderly and she said softly, "Auntie, you are right. I did go out before. But now I am back again."

Just when the old lady was about to respond, a little boy came running like the wind. He ran up to her breathlessly, grabbed the corner of her clothes, looked up at her expectantly, and said coquettishly, "Mom, let's not go back over there today, how about we just stay here?" It turned out that the little boy was He Xiao.

Seeing this, Lou Xiao'e said nothing, but silently cast her eyes to Ma Xiuxiu who was standing beside her. After all, in this family, Ma Xiuxiu was the real hostess, and she was just a passerby.

Ma Xiuxiu understood what he meant, and a kind and friendly smile blossomed on her face. She responded readily: "Okay, no problem! I'm going to clean up He Yushui's room, so you can stay there tonight." After that, she took He Xiao's hand, turned and walked towards He Yushui's room.

After Ma Xiuxiu left, Lou Xiaoe greeted the auntie enthusiastically: "Auntie, please come in and sit for a while."

The aunt looked at the child just now, who was exactly the same as the one He Yuzhu went to when he was a child. How could she call Lou Xiao'e "mom"?

So he looked at Lou Xiao'e and said, "Xiao'e, why did that child just call you mom?"

He Yuzhu was cleaning up there and didn't notice Auntie coming over. Xiao'e smiled and said, "Auntie, who does that child look like?"

The aunt thought about the child's appearance for a while, then looked at Lou Xiao'e and asked, "Who does the child look like?"

Lou Xiao'e looked at the old lady standing there without saying anything and smiled. She naturally knew what the old lady was thinking, but she was just too embarrassed to say it.

An old lady was hesitating: "Xiao'e, isn't it strange? I think the child looks like He Yuzhu. If I'm wrong, don't blame me."

Lou Xiao'e didn't expect that Auntie could see it right away, so she smiled and said, "Auntie, you are right. He Xiao is indeed He Yuzhu's child."

The aunt was shocked and looked at Lou Xiao'e: "Xiao'e, you said the child was He Yuzhu's, could it be that at that time."

The aunt thought about the child she had just seen, and found that he was indeed a little older than He Nian from Ma Xiuxiu's family.

The auntie didn't say anything else, but looked at Lou Xiao'e: "Xiao'e, aren't you infertile? How did you get this child?"

Lou Xiao'e looked at the aunt and knew that she had the same problem as herself, so she looked at the aunt and said, "Aunt, I have been to Xianghe and had a check-up. I found one thing, that is, in addition to women who cannot have children, some men are also unable to have children due to illness."

The aunt used to believe it, but now Lou Xiao'e has given birth to a child, which means that something happened in Xu Damao's family, and Qin Jingru's child is very likely not Xu Damao's.

Lou Xiao'e looked at the auntie and said, "Auntie, I know what you are thinking. It is indeed possible that the uncle is sick. Why don't you go get checked out?"
