Free Days in Siheyuan

Chapter 860 The struggle caused by a bucket of water

"I didn't carry it into the house, but put it directly in the sink. We will wash the vegetables there later, so as not to fill the house with water and have to pour water out."

After Xu Damao finished speaking, he glanced at the watch on his wrist and saw that it was indeed getting late. He lifted up the straw curtain used to keep the vegetables warm, took out a Chinese cabbage from underneath, turned to discuss with Lou Xiao'e: "Daughter-in-law, let's How about eating cabbage stewed vermicelli today?"

"Okay, it's up to you." Lou Xiao'e nodded, put down the wool in her hand, and planned to put away the pot first.

As soon as Lou Xiao'e got out of bed, she heard Xu Damao shouting outside: "Where's my water? Who stole my water?"

At this time, it was time to get off work. When people in the courtyard heard Xu Damao's shouts, they all poked their heads out. Some curious people took the initiative to ask: "Da Mao, what happened? I came all the way." I heard you shouting in the courtyard."

Xu Damao wiped his face and complained unhappily: "Didn't our hospital have a water outage recently? I just ran all the way to the well to get a bucket of water. I thought it would be used for cooking at night, so I went in. The water was gone in the blink of an eye, and I don’t know who stole it.

You can use it as you say, it belongs to the neighbors, and no one needs a bucket of water, but you can at least tell me that this pot is already on the shelf and there is no water. "

Everyone looked at each other and said that they had not touched Xu Damao's water.

At this moment, He Yuzhu walked out of the house carrying a lunch box.

Seeing He Yuzhu, Xu Damao's eyes lit up, as if he had grasped something, he walked a few steps quickly and asked: "Silly Zhu, is it you? Did you drink my water?"

He Yuzhu was confused when asked: "What water?"

Xu Damao: "Silly Zhu, don't pretend to be stupid for me here. Except for you and me, no one else in our courtyard will do this if you know how to drink my water."

Although He Yuzhu didn't understand what happened, he couldn't let Xu Damao put the shit basin on his head. He waved his hand and opened Xu Damao's finger pointing at him: "Xu Damao, when did I drink your water?" If I want to use water, why don’t I fetch it myself? I need water like you, a weak* egg.”

Xu Damao rubbed the sore fingers that were beaten by He Yuzhu, and continued to look for trouble: "Who else could it be if it weren't you? You are the only one in our courtyard who can do such a shameless thing."

Seeing Xu Damao's reluctance, He Yuzhu's good mood disappeared instantly. He directly threw the lunch box in his hand into Xu Damao's arms, pointed at the oil stains on it and said: "Open your dog eyes and see clearly, my rice I got it in the cafeteria, I just finished eating, and I haven’t had time to wash it off yet, so how can I use your water?”

After He Yuzhu finished speaking, he seemed to have thought of something. In a rare moment of wit, he looked at Xu Damao and asked, "Isn't it because you didn't carry water at all to save yourself from being lazy?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes fell on Xu Damao, with suspicion in their eyes. Everyone in the courtyard knew that Xu Damao and Silly Zhu were not dealing with each other, and the two of them had been fighting against each other for more than a day or two. It's not too rare for this kind of thing to happen.

Xu Damao, who was "knocked down" by He Yuzhu for the first time, blushed angrily at the obvious meaning in everyone's eyes: "Conscience of heaven and earth, I really brought water just now."

At this moment, Xu Damao saw the unfrozen water stains in the corner of the pool with sharp eyes. He suddenly became excited, pointed at the water stains above and shouted: "Look, someone must have stolen my water just now." Water, you see this is the proof.”

This discovery made Xu Damao feel emboldened in an instant, and he shouted loudly: "Which bastard used the water that I worked so hard to fetch. Don't act like a turtle if you dare to do it." Outside Xu Damao's voice became louder and louder. The Jia family originally wanted to be a coward and not show up.

But Xu Damao's words were merciless, and the more he spoke, the more outrageous he became.

Seeing that the other person was getting more and more vicious as he talked, Jia Zhang couldn't help but rushed out of the room. Before Xu Damao could react, he muttered: "Isn't it just because I used your bucket of water? Is it worth causing such a fuss? Why are you, a grown man, so petty? I'll just give it back to you another day.

Besides, who asked you to put the water next to the pool? Isn't it just for everyone to use? I don't think your water is dirty yet, so why are you copying it here? "

After Jia Zhang finished speaking, she slammed the door shut, giving Xu Damao a shut-in.

How could Xu Damao be able to endure his temper after being tricked and beaten by Jia and Zhang.

Just when he was about to scold, Qin Huairu walked out of the room, with a trace of embarrassment on her face, and said embarrassedly: "Brother Damao, my mother-in-law did something wrong. I will tell you on her behalf." Sorry, she is old and a little confused. Don't argue with her.

This is also my fault. I felt sick in my stomach today, so I was lazy and didn't go out to get water.

Just like this, brother Damao, do you think this is okay? Wait until tomorrow. When I get better tomorrow, I will make up for it for you. "

What Qin Huairu said was reasonable and sincere. In addition, she stroked her belly from time to time to remind everyone that she was a pregnant woman, which completely stopped Xu Damao's mouth.

Qin Huairu's performance made even people who knew the cause and effect of the matter and didn't like the Jia family feel that it was not easy for Qin Huairu. Xu Damao was indeed a little petty to cause trouble because of such a trivial matter.

Xu Damao was so suffocated by Qin Huairu's performance that he didn't know what to say.

But at this point, Qin Huairu still had no intention of letting Xu Damao go. She showed a strong look and forced a smile to apologize to Xu Damao again: "Brother Damao, my mother-in-law did something unethical today. , you see what kind of compensation you want, we will definitely..."

When she said this, Qin Huairu paused deliberately, and then suddenly covered her stomach with her hands, with a look of pain on her face, as if she was telling everyone that she had fetal gas due to this incident.

Seeing this, everyone stepped forward to comfort him, telling Qin Huairu not to think too much, it was not his fault.

Then there were those who were quick-talking, such as He Yuzhu, who directly pointed at Xu Damao and scolded him: "Xu Damao, that's enough! If you have something to do, just follow me. Bullying a pregnant woman is nothing."

Seeing Qin Huairu's increasingly painful appearance, for the first time someone agreed with He Yuzhu, pointing at Xu Damao and complaining: "Xu Damao, what are you going to do? Do you really want to force someone to death just because of a bucket of water?"

After he finished speaking, another person continued angrily: "Xu Damao, you'd better ask God for a second to make sure the child in her belly is okay, otherwise I tell you, you are doomed!"
