Courtyard House: Drunk and barging into the Xu family's house, I woke up numb.

"You didn't even consult me ​​about such a big thing. You really know how to make decisions."

Cao Xu thought to himself, "He's almost twenty, how could he not be big? Besides, it's not just his wings that are hard."

He only thought these words to himself; if he said them aloud, he would probably get beaten up.

"Alright, how much longer are you going to hold on?"

Cao Xu held Lou Xiao'e's hand, his fingers playfully tracing patterns on her palm.

"Then naturally they'll be arrested for life."

The words "forever" made Lou Xiao'e's heart tremble. With a snap, Lou Xiao'e slapped Cao Xu's hand away.

"Aren't you afraid that Xu Damao will come in and see this, and then he'll fight you to the death?"

Cao Xu strode towards the inner room.

"So what if he sees it? I'm holding my own sister's hand, do I need to ask him for permission?"

Upon entering the inner room, Cao Xu looked towards the bed and noticed that the blue sheets and duvet cover were gone, replaced by a warm yellow one.

In addition, he noticed a detail: there was only one pillow on the bed.

"Now that you're doing a job, I'll cook you whatever you want to eat tonight."

Cao Xu answered without hesitation.

"I like to eat anything you make."

"I'm not a picky eater, I'm very easy to feed."

Lou Xiao'e rolled her eyes at Cao Xu.

"Smooth-talking, I wonder where he learned that from."

Despite saying that, Lou Xiao'e still went to the cupboard to prepare some dishes that Cao Xu liked to eat.

..........................................................................................

Middle courtyard, Jia's house.

Xu Damao looked at Qin Huairu's voluptuous body with a wicked grin.

"Qin Huairu, you'd better think this through. Bang Geng is stealing."

“If I don’t give in, your precious son will probably have to spend a few months in juvenile detention.”

"Once he's been to juvenile detention and comes out, I doubt the school will want him either."

"I heard you still owe tuition fees, right? If this gets back to the school, they'll probably expel you on the spot."

“With a criminal record, he won’t be able to go to school anymore. When he grows up, I doubt any good companies will be willing to hire him.”

"If things go wrong, he might have to go out and collect scraps from street vendors."

Qin Huairu's expression immediately changed. At this moment, she no longer cared about the difference between men and women and grabbed Xu Damao's hand.

"Da Mao, I'm begging you, please don't go to the police station to report this."

"Bang Geng is still a child, he doesn't know any better, he just ate too much for a moment."

"Isn't it just an old hen?"

"I'll pay you back, I'll pay you back two, no, three, okay?"

Xu Damao grabbed Qin Huairu's hand and whispered.

"Sister Qin, actually, I don't necessarily want you to pay for the chicken. You can keep me company, that would be fine too."

Chapter 13 A Brief Moment of Tenderness, Betrayed by Qin Huairu

When Xu Damao's words reached Qin Huairu's ears, she immediately withdrew her hand.

Qin Huairu's reaction was exactly what Xu Damao had expected. He put his hand to his nose and sniffed it.

"Qin Huairu, you usually flirt with Sha Zhu quite a bit, so why are you so upset now that I've just touched your hand?"

"Don't forget, your son's future, or rather your whole family's future, is in my hands."

To Qin Huairu, Xu Damao's words sounded like the voice of a demon.

She has endured so much these past years, and her son is her lifeblood. She absolutely will not allow Xu Damao to ruin him.

Let alone going to a juvenile detention center, even the news that he was a thief would be unacceptable to her.

Reputation is too important in this day and age. If Banggeng is confirmed to be a thief and sent to a juvenile detention center, his whole family will be finished.

Not only will Bang Geng have to live with this stain for the rest of her life, but even Xiao Dang Huaihua will probably be gossiped about behind her back, with people saying they are the thief's sisters.

But she was truly unwilling to give herself to Xu Damao.

Over the years, although she has gained a lot by flirting, she has only allowed these people to take advantage of her in small ways.

She didn't make any mistakes in matters of principle, and even the kindest person to her, Sha Zhu, didn't gain any significant advantage.

The thought of Xu Damao threatening her with a stick made Qin Huairu grit her teeth in hatred.

"Xu Damao, you're a bastard!"

Xu Damao didn't take it to heart; he still had a cheerful expression on his face.

"You're right, I am an asshole."

"However, you forced me to do that!"

"If I'm not mistaken, Sha Zhu hasn't climbed into your bed yet."

Qin Huairu said, feeling both embarrassed and annoyed.

"You are shameless!"

Xu Damao, with his hands behind his back, bent down slightly and whispered in Qin Huairu's ear.

"Qin Huairu, if you come with me just this once, I promise I won't pursue this matter any further."

"Not only will I not make you pay for the chicken, I'll also give you 20 pounds of flour as a gift."

"It's almost the end of the month, I suppose you're already a hunchback by now."

Qin Huairu's face turned red with anger.

"You're obscene!"

Xu Damao knew that Qin Huairu's defenses were about to be breached by him.

He knew in his heart that no matter how fierce and tough Qin Huairu was on the surface, her son Banggeng was definitely his fatal weakness.

Since she was still hesitant, he decided to give her a stronger dose of the drug.

"I heard you applied for a permanent position, right?"

Qin Huairu opened her eyes wide and looked at Xu Damao.

"Xu Damao, what do you want to do!"

Xu Damao placed his hand on the table, staring intently into Qin Huairu's captivating eyes.

"Qin Huairu, I'm not as kind as Cao Xu."

"You helped an outsider steal his man, and he still speaks well of you."

"I have the same problem as Sha Zhu, which is that I always seek revenge."

"If the factory finds out that your son was arrested for stealing, do you think your chances of getting a permanent position will be any better, even if Yi Zhonghai speaks up for you?"

Xu Damao's words were like a heavy hammer blow, completely shattering Qin Huairu's psychological defenses.

Her eyes quickly reddened, and tears began to well up.

She stared at Xu Damao with a heart full of grievance and said resentfully.

“Xu Damao, killing someone is nothing more than bowing your head. We’ve lived as neighbors for so many years, why do you have to go to such extremes?”

"You asked me to come with you just to get revenge on Sha Zhu, right?"

Xu Damao's lips curled up.

"You're right, I did it to get revenge on Sha Zhu."

"However, Qin Huairu, don't underestimate yourself."

"I'm quite interested in you. It can both give that idiot Zhu a cuckold's hat and satisfy myself. Why wouldn't I do it?"

Qin Huairu raised her hand to wipe away her tears and pursed her lips.

"Xu Damao, how about I tell you a condition and you consider it?"

Xu Damao said with great interest.

"What conditions?"

Qin Huairu first glanced outside the door, then leaned close to Xu Damao and whispered her conditions.

After listening, Xu Damao narrowed his eyes and looked at the woman in front of him again.
