Walking with the Villain, Lou Xiao'e's Alternative Love

Mr. and Mrs. Xu haven't seen their little son for more than half a year, and they miss him very much!

Because their young daughter-in-law didn't like them, the old couple didn't dare to come over easily.

But it was already the New Year and there was still no news from the youngest son. He was still worried, so he came to check on him a few days before the New Year. He thought that even just a glance would make him feel at ease.

They carried large and small bags filled with homemade bacon, pickled sauerkraut, and a few bags of their daughter-in-law's favorite handmade malt sugar, and got on the village carriage and went into the city.

They were in the carriage, not paying attention to the scenery along the way. Their hearts were only filled with the figure of their youngest son. The thoughts of those days came back like a tide, which was both warm and slightly sad.

When they finally arrived at the courtyard and saw the locked wooden door, Mr. and Mrs. Xu felt even more disappointed.

As they thought about it, their youngest son appeared behind the door and shouted in surprise, "Mom and Dad, why are you here? Why didn't you tell me in advance so I could pick you up!"

The old couple had planned to ask their neighbors, but they happened to meet the third uncle Yan Bugui and the eldest son Yan Jiecheng coming out of the house. As they had been neighbors for many years, they were very familiar with each other, so the third uncle sent Yan Jiecheng to the steel mill to find Xu Damao.

The old couple had guessed that their young daughter-in-law would feel disgust and dissatisfaction after seeing them, but they never expected that Lou Xiao'e would do such a thing.

"Xiao'e, stop working so hard. Come and talk to mom." Mother Xu said, holding Lou Xiao'e's hand.

Lou Xiao'e took the opportunity to sit next to Xu's mother and said, "Mom and Dad, it's all Damao and I's fault. We're worried about you."

"Look at what you said, kid. Isn't it normal for parents to care about their son and daughter-in-law? Your parents can't take care of you two, Damao, usually, so this is the only time they have to think about you." Mother Xu said lovingly.

"Yes, Xiao'e, Damao, you two can't just focus on work, you also have to take care of yourselves." Father Xu continued.

"Mom and Dad, don't worry! Damao and I will never put ourselves in a difficult position. But are you guys doing well back home? I was ignorant in the past and caused you two to suffer." Lou Xiao'e said sincerely.

"Good boy, I was wrong in the past, too. I always looked down on you. Damao has told your father and me that the problem is with him, not you. It was I who wronged you, and I apologize to you."

"Mom, please don't say that. I'm about to find a rat hole to crawl into."

"Wife, do you want to drill a bigger one or a smaller one? Your husband will dig one for you right now." Xu Damao joked excitedly after hearing the conversation in the room from the outer room.

At dinner time, the family sat around the dining table, which was filled with dishes carefully prepared by Xu Damao. There were both hometown dishes that Xu's father and mother loved, as well as some delicious dishes that Lou Xiao'e liked.

At the dinner table, the family chatted and laughed, sharing each other's recent situations and interesting stories, as if all the misunderstandings and estrangements disappeared at this moment.

Xu Damao raised his glass frequently to express his gratitude to his parents, and also expressed his deep apologies and love to Lou Xiaoe.

"Dad, Mom, I have neglected you all these years. It is my fault for not fulfilling my filial duty as a son. Xiao'e and I will definitely go back to see you often in the future. And my wife, thank you for your tolerance and understanding. My world has become more complete and happier because of you. Let those little misunderstandings in the past go with the wind!"

After hearing this, Lou Xiao'e gently held Xu Damao's hand and responded tenderly: "From now on, if we think and work together, there will be no obstacles that we cannot overcome."

Xu's father and mother were filled with joy when they saw this scene. They knew that their children's happiness was their greatest wish. Xu's father patted Xu Damao on the shoulder and said earnestly, "Damo, seeing you two getting along well, your mother and I are relieved. Remember, a harmonious family is the foundation of everything. No matter what difficulties you encounter, your family will always be your strongest support."

Xu Damao nodded gratefully, his eyes gleaming with determination. "Dad, I remember it."

Seeing this, Xu's mother wiped the tears from her eyes gently, with a gentle smile on her lips. She turned to Xu's father and said, "Old man, seeing the children like this, we can rest assured. They have grown up and know how to live their own lives."

Father Xu smiled slightly, his eyes full of love and pride. "Yes, the children have their own paths to take. All we can do is to support them silently and give them the most solid backing. Honey, can you go back home to celebrate the New Year with peace of mind now?"

"Don't worry, don't worry. The dumplings on New Year's Eve this year will definitely be more delicious than every year." Mother Xu said happily.

After hearing this, Xu Damao and Lou Xiaoe hurriedly asked, "Mom and Dad, do you still want to go back?"

"Yes, Mom and Dad, aren't you here to celebrate the New Year with me and Damao?"

"No, no. Your father and I just wanted you to come and have a look. Your eldest brother and his family are at home. Besides, your second sister and her family will also come back to pay New Year's greetings on the second day of the Chinese New Year. As parents, how can we let our children go without a visit? This place! Everything is good, but it's just not as lively as home." Xu's mother refused.

"Mom, you're right. The purpose of Chinese New Year is for the whole family to be together. That's when it feels lively and the New Year feels more festive." Lou Xiao'e said enviously.

"Yes! Your father and I will go back tomorrow morning. Damao, you two should go to your employer's place to celebrate the New Year! Xiao'e is the only daughter in your employer's family. It would be so lonely if you two don't go back." Mother Xu said gratefully.

Lou Xiao'e was deeply moved when she heard her mother-in-law's words.

"Mom and Dad, let's go to my father-in-law's house to celebrate the New Year. He gave me such a good wife, so I, as your son, must behave well."

Lou Xiao'e rolled her eyes at Xu Damao and said, "Then let's go back on the second day of the Chinese New Year. My second sister and the others will be back soon."

"Okay, okay, that will be even more lively. Xiao'e, you don't know! The second child in your eldest brother's family and the little bully in your second sister's family always fight each other. The second child always cries loudly after being beaten, but he doesn't learn his lesson and goes to provoke others again. Hahaha..."

Listening to her mother-in-law's stories, Lou Xiao'e conjured up a beautiful picture in her mind: "My parents-in-law are surrounded by lively and lovely grandchildren, who are running, jumping, laughing and making noises. Their pure happiness seems to instantly dispel the haze of time.

The children held the bowls and chopsticks in their little hands, with innocent smiles on their faces. Occasionally, they would laugh as they fought for a piece of their favorite braised pork. Grandma carefully peeled the shells and removed the bones for the children. The whole family sat together and shared the joy of family life.

Seeing Lou Xiao'e in a daze, Xu Damao whispered, "Wife, I'm working harder these days to make sure our son is planted."

Lou Xiao'e's face instantly turned red as she punched Xu Damao and said coquettishly, "Get lost!" Then she looked at Xu's father and mother and said shyly, "Mom and Dad, we also hope to give you two a big fat grandson soon." Xu's mother smiled and said, "Okay, okay, Mom is waiting to hold her grandson."

The family was having a great time together, and their laughter echoed in the courtyard.
