After returning to the courtyard and saying hello to the third uncle who was guarding the door, Lou Xiao'e went home to change clothes and cook.

On the way, Lou Xiao'e told Sha Zhu that they, brother and sister, should come here to eat together in the evening.

After changing her clothes, Lou Xiao'e lit all the stoves inside and outside the house.

First, steam a pot of rice, and then simmer the big steamed buns you bought on the way.

I took out bacon, ham, prawns, chicken and some seasonal vegetables from the refrigerator.

Wash the vegetables first and wait for Shazhu to come and cook.

"Da Mao, you came back just in time for dinner. Look at all the bags you have. Are you going to the countryside again? Aren't you a deputy section chief? Why are you going to the countryside again?"

"Uncle, you have never been a leader, so you don't know that a leader should be more active and hard-working than a worker. I am not as leisurely as you, a Chinese teacher. I am back early today. How can you say that comparing yourself with others is frustrating?"

Before the bicycle came to a complete stop, Xu Damao shouted at the top of his voice: "Wife, come and help us. The villagers are so welcoming. They are giving us so much. We can't refuse it."

Lou Xiao'e knew that Xu Damao was showing off, so she just cooperated with him. What else could she do?

"Da Mao, why did you bring so much back again? We haven't finished the last one. You two should go into the house and wash your faces. I will take it myself."

Yes, this is my real daughter-in-law.

They had just brought the things into the house and hadn't even washed their faces when they heard Jia Zhang start scolding.

"Qin Huairu, did you break your leg? Everyone else is back, but you took so long to get home. Do you want to starve us to death? You should remarry. Did you go and flirt with some other guy on the way? You came back empty-handed and didn't even bother to buy delicious food for my good grandson."

"Don't you know why I'm empty-handed? Yes, I just went to hook up with a strange man, and I will remarry tomorrow." Qin Huairu said with a slightly tearful voice.

"Qin Huairu, you are a man-raising woman, and you actually spoke to me like this. I will tear you apart."

"If you dare to touch me, I will leave now."

"Don't expect to see the child again after you leave."

"Stop threatening me with the child every day. The child's surname is Jia, not Qin. You took my father-in-law and Dongxu's pension and refused to give up a cent. You just want to force me. I've had enough."

"What has upset you? You even scolded your own mother-in-law. I won't live any longer. Old Jia! Please take me away. This family can't accommodate me. My daughter-in-law has cheated on me. We can't live any more."

"If we can't survive, let's die together. The sooner we die, the sooner we can be reborn. I've lived enough anyway. Let's die together. It will be less of a worry if we all die."

Jia Zhang was frightened by Qin Huairu's appearance. Since Qin Huairu got married, she had never spoken loudly, let alone confronted her like she did today.

"Dongxu, what's wrong with you? Did someone bully you? Tell mom and I'll go find her and help you vent your anger."

Chuckling, Qin Huairu sneered and said, "Who else but you bullies me? When your son was still alive, you despised me for being from the countryside. Now that your son is gone, you still despise me for being incompetent. I'm just a woman, what kind of ability do I have? When have you ever given me a good face? You either scolded me or beat me. I don't owe you the Jia family anything."

"Mom, I'm afraid you won't care about us. I'll change from now on. Let's go inside and talk. Don't let them laugh at us."

"Just watch it, we have our fair share of jokes anyway."

"Come into the house and let mom cook for you."

Xu Damao looked at Lou Xiao'e and asked, "What's going on? Is the earth going to explode? Qin Huairu is standing up, but Jia Zhangshi has given in."

Lou Xiao'e told Xu Damao what happened on the road.

"No wonder, Qin Huairu is a little worried because Sha Zhu has ignored her these days. If you say this woman is just asking for sex, Sha Zhu almost gave her his heart before, and she was playing with her for fun. Now that Sha Zhu doesn't want to lick her anymore, she's doing this again. What kind of person is she?"

"Xu Damao, you are too picky."

"Wife, I was wrong. I'll call the Shazhu brothers over right now. By the way, wife, can you call the deaf old lady?"

"call."

"Zhu Zi, silly Zhu Zi, do you want to eat what's ready or what's not, you idiot."

Sha Zhu pushed open the door of his house, stuck his head out to take a look at the Jia family, then turned back and walked out, pushing the rain away.

"No, Silly Zhu, what are you doing like a thief?"

"Keep your voice down." After saying this, Sha Zhu walked past Xu Damao and came to Xu's house.

"Sister Xiao'e, I came late because I didn't want to get involved in the affairs of the Jia family. I'm good at cooking and won't delay our dinner."

"Brother Zhuzi, I have arranged all the vegetables and am waiting for you to cook them."

"Okay, you take a rest. Come here, kid, and help me, your master."

When Zhuang Junwei heard Sha Zhu calling him, he said, "Uncle, my name is Zhuang Junwei. My master's wife gave me this name. Just order me around whatever you want."

"This boy is quite attractive, but he is a bit ugly. Come and help me to make the fire burn brighter."

The deaf old lady was also fast and followed Xu Damao as soon as he left.

"Daughter-in-law Damao, you said I feel embarrassed to always come here to eat for free."

"You are the ancestor of this courtyard. It is a blessing for any of us to come. Come sit on the kang and look at the walnut kernels that Yu Shui has peeled for you."

"Sister Xiao'e, you have bacon, ham, and some prawns. Where did you buy them? Oh my god! How much did it cost? I've only seen these good things at the leader's house."

"Yes, wife, our department store doesn't sell it."

"I can't afford these, they were all given to me by my parents."

"Look, Damao, we two brothers are too narrow-minded, right? We can't afford it, but who is your father-in-law? He is Loubancheng. His family business is as big as half of Sijiucheng. Xu Damao, I say you are a big idiot. You are not satisfied with guarding this capitalist father-in-law's pole. If it were me, I would be willing to kneel down every day."

"Hiccup...I really would like to."

Sha Zhu's drunken talk made Xu Damao so angry that he didn't go to see him off. It was Zhuang Junwei and He Yushui who each supported the stunned Sha Zhu and the deaf old lady and sent them back.

"Wife, what do you think Sha Zhu means? Does he have feelings for you? I remember you said you would give Sha Zhu a son in the future. Wife, you can't pay attention to him! What's so good about Sha Zhu? Not only does he look ugly, but he's also dirty."

"Xu Damao, I don't want to hear such words again. As long as I spend one day with you, I will not be involved with other men. But if you treat me badly, I will divorce you first and then find someone else. So, you have to treat me as well as you can. Do you understand?"

"I know, wife. But Shazhu..."

"What do you mean by him? He was just drunk. Don't you know what kind of person he is?"

"Yeah! I understand. He's just a little bit stupid, but he's quite righteous, otherwise I would have done it long ago. Damn it, I've been beaten by him a lot over the years, and I almost hired someone to put him in a sack several times, but I just couldn't do it. Wife, do you think I'm too cowardly?"
