Siheyuan: Traveling through three years to gain the power of a palm

Chapter 219: Sha Zhu's instigation

Qin Huairu walked up to Aunt Wu and asked, "Aunt Wu, are you moving?"

After the divorce, Aunt Wu was no longer willing to let Jia Dongxu call her "master's wife", and the same was true for Qin Huairu.

"Ah."

Aunt Wu responded indifferently.

Qin Huairu was delighted. Their house was small, and Banggeng would grow up quickly. It would be inconvenient for her and Jia Dongxu to do anything in the future. If only they could convince Aunt Wu to let them borrow her house, that would be great.

Qin Huairu felt that the success rate of this matter was 70%, after all, they had been with Aunt Wu for such a long time. As the old saying goes, broken bones are connected by tendons. Although they are not related by blood, Banggeng still calls Aunt Wu "grandma".

Aunt Wu glanced at Qin Huairu. She could guess what Qin Huairu was thinking, but it would not come true.

Other families in the yard also had this idea, but they didn't have the spare money to rent a house.

Qin Huairu suppressed her excitement and pretended to be reluctant to ask, "Aunt Wu, where are you planning to move to? Do you need our help?"

"No, I'm not moving far. I live in the yard next door. My husband has two houses there."

Aunt Wu's words were so shocking that Qin Huairu was stunned.

What did she just hear? Aunt Wu got married!

Not only her, but the neighbors were also shocked.

"Did you hear that? Aunt Wu just mentioned her husband? Did she get married again? Why didn't she tell us?"

"You are her son, why do they need to inform you of the marriage?"

"They're getting married so soon, maybe they were hooking up before?"

"This possibility cannot be ruled out. Master Yi really has a miserable life."

People are like this. Without knowing the truth, they always make random assumptions and fabricate so-called truths to satisfy their own selfish desires.

When Xu Damao came out with his things, he heard people saying bad things about Aunt Wu. As a caring citizen, he couldn't stand it.

He immediately pulled Aunt Wu and Old Wang to the middle of the yard and put their hands together.

"Neighbors, let me introduce you. This is Aunt Wu's new husband, the GM partner she'll spend the rest of her life with, Comrade Wang Tiezhu. Everyone applaud!"

Xu Damao clapped his hands loudly, while the neighbors looked at each other but remained silent. Aunt Wu and Wang Tiezhu, however, felt a little embarrassed.

Xu Damao added, "Aunt Wu and Comrade Wang Tiezhu met through the introduction of our Women's Director, Director Yu. Director Yu said she is very optimistic about Aunt Wu and her family and hopes they will live a happy and fulfilling life in the future."

Xu Damao’s meaning was very simple. Aunt Wu and the others were protected by Director Yu. If you have any opinions about her, you have opinions about the director.

Aunt Wu was also encouraged by Xu Damao and bravely stood up to introduce her husband to everyone. This time everyone applauded and congratulated them.

Taking this opportunity, Aunt Wu also said that she had rented the house to Xu Damao for a long term and would basically not come back in the future.

If I come back, I will come here to visit with my children.

Qin Huairu was completely disheartened after hearing this. Aunt Wu said it was renting, and anyone with a discerning eye knew that renting was actually selling. It was just that the higher-ups didn't allow it now, so they needed to find a new method.

For example, writing a promissory note is a common practice.

Aunt Wu didn't have many things, so she moved everything out in less than half an hour. In front of everyone, she handed the key to Xu Damao and reminded him that it would be better to change the lock because she didn't have the key.

……

Inside the rolling mill.

Jiang Fan looked at the property certificate in his hand, then at Xu Damao's horse face, and suddenly felt that this horse face was also quite decent.

"Well, brother won't treat you unfairly, will he? Now this house is yours."

Jiang Fan asked, "How much does it cost?"

"That's boring. What do you mean by how much money it costs? It's too distant for us to talk about that between brothers."

Xu Damao said nonchalantly.

Jiang Fan looked into Xu Damao's eyes earnestly, sincerely, and sincerely. Xu Damao was no longer the Xu Damao in the plot.

"Okay, I'll accept this house. Let's talk later if we have anything to say." Jiang Fan accepted Xu Damao's kindness. There was no need to be so calculative between friends.

"I'm leaving. I have to go take care of your sister-in-law." Xu Damao took a box of matches and cigarettes with him before leaving.

"Sun thief! Leave the cigarette to me!"

Jiang Fan cursed and threw a stone at Xu Damao's back.

As soon as Jia Dongxu got home, Qin Huairu pulled him into the house and told him what happened today.

Jia Dongxu's mouth dropped open in surprise after hearing this. He hadn't expected that his master's wife, who usually kept a low profile, would actually do something so grand! Getting married just a month or two after getting divorced.

"Dongxu, let me tell you, that Wu actually rented the house to that bastard Xu Damao. Shouldn't she give it to us?"

Jia Zhang jumped out again, cursing Aunt Wu. Qin Huairu also had some dissatisfaction in her eyes. She felt that even if Aunt Wu didn't live in the courtyard, she should have asked them about the house first. Didn't she know that there wouldn't be enough space for their family?

Compared to them, Jia Dongxu was much calmer. He stood up and told Qin Huairu to cook more in the evening. Then he walked out of the house and knocked on Yi Zhonghai's door.

Seeing Yi Zhonghai still busy cooking, Jia Dongxu knew that he didn't know the news yet, "Master, I have something to tell you..."

After the explanation, Jia Dongxu couldn't tell what Yi Zhonghai was feeling. He was stunned and motionless at first, then suddenly smiled, and then burst into tears.

"She's married? She's married again. How could she get married? Dongxu, it's only been a short time since I divorced her, and she's actually married again. Do you think she's been hooking up with that adulterer for a long time?"

Jia Dongxu didn't know how to comfort Yi Zhonghai. He and his wife lived in harmony, and he couldn't empathize with Yi Zhonghai or feel the same way.

Yi Zhonghai was also cursing Aunt Wu for being unfaithful to her husband, which made Jia Dongxu beside him very embarrassed. At this time, Sha Zhu pushed the door open and walked in. He also came here after going home to digest the news.

Hearing Yi Zhonghai scolding Aunt Wu, Sha Zhu did not join in the scolding. Instead, he directed his criticism at Xu Damao.

"Uncle Yi, I think it's all that bastard Xu Damao's fault. He must have instigated this. That guy is capable of doing anything bad. Otherwise, Aunt Wu wouldn't have rented the house to him." Sha Zhu said firmly, as if he had already determined that it was because of Xu Damao that Aunt Wu divorced and remarried.

At this time, Yi Zhonghai also thought of what happened when Xu Damao came to see Aunt Wu two days ago, and immediately had the same idea as Sha Zhu.

"Yes, it must be that guy Xu Damao. Zhuzi, Dongxu, let's go find him."

"Enough of that, silly!"

Jia Dongxu said sternly.

"What's wrong, Brother Dongxu? Don't you want to help Uncle Yi vent his anger?" Sha Zhu asked. Although Yang Shufen had advised Sha Zhu to build a good relationship with Aunt Wu instead of Yi Zhonghai, before Yang Shufen could take action, Sha Zhu followed Yi Zhonghai to find trouble with Xu Damao.

Under such circumstances, Aunt Wu would naturally not be in a good mood towards Sha Zhu.

Yi Zhonghai also looked at Jia Dongxu with some dissatisfaction.

Jia Dongxu said anxiously, "Listen to me. Xu Damao said today that Director Yu arranged their marriage. If you go to trouble Xu Damao, he will definitely go to Director Yu."

In fact, what he wanted to say was, what does Aunt Wu’s marriage have to do with Yi Zhonghai? They are divorced, and Yi Zhonghai has no control over Aunt Wu’s marriage, let alone having children.

But this cannot be said.

Sure enough, after listening to Jia Dongxu's words, Sha Zhu and Yi Zhonghai also calmed down.

The three of them were silent for a while, and then Yi Zhonghai said, "Dongxu is right, and we are already divorced, so it is only right for us to get married separately."

Seeing that Yi Zhonghai had figured out the key points, Jia Dongxu breathed a sigh of relief, but Sha Zhu was still a little angry.

"Let's not talk about that. It just so happens that the three of us are here. I have a bottle of wine. You can drink with this old man like me tonight."

"it is good."

That night, Yi Zhonghai got drunk and lay on the bed, talking drunkenly, "Isn't it just getting married? I can get married too and find someone who can have children."

……

Outside the hospital delivery room.

Xu Damao paced back and forth, muttering prayers non-stop. He prayed to God, Buddha, Bodhisattvas, and all the other deities he knew of. Xu Wude and his mother were similarly pacing, anxiously watching the delivery room door.

An hour ago, Lou Xiaoe suddenly went into labor and is now trying hard in the delivery room.

Jiang Fan sat there, looking at Xu Damao. Having never been a father before, he didn't know how to comfort him at this moment. He could only wait, hoping that they would be safe and sound.

Soon, a baby's cry was heard in the delivery room.

After the nurse came out, she told Xu Damao that Lou Xiao'e had given birth to a son weighing seven kilograms.

Xu Damao laughed foolishly on the spot, with the corners of his mouth stretched all the way to his ears.

Looking at the little monkey in his arms, Xu Damao still couldn't believe that this was his son.

Xu Wude carefully took his grandson from Xu Damao's arms. The more he looked at him, the more he liked him. "Grandson, I am your grandfather."

Jiang Fan pushed the silly Xu Damao and said, "Wake up, your saliva is dripping."

Xu Damao wiped his mouth hastily and said to Jiang Fan happily, "Brother, did you see that? I have a son now, and you will be his godfather from now on."

"Okay, okay, I'm his godfather." Jiang Fan said with a smile, "Have you given him a name?"

Speaking of business, Xu Damao's expression became more serious. "If he gets married, his name will be Xu Xiao."

Jiang Fan was stunned. Is this the world's repairing power?

"But I'd like to trouble you to give it a nickname. Don't try to fool me with names like Gousheng, Tiezhu, or Erlangzi. Otherwise, I'll turn against you!" Xu Damao said seriously.

Jiang Fan naturally agreed. As a godfather, he had to act like one.

Lou Xiao'e stayed in the hospital for a week. Xu Damao had originally wanted her to stay longer, since the money was all from Lou Zhenhua. But Lou Xiao'e insisted on going home.

The Xu family had no objection. Lou Xiao'e was now a major contributor to their family. Even if she said she was in a bad mood and wanted to see Xu Wude beat Xu Damao, that was fine.

When the Xu family returned to the courtyard, they specifically chose the steel rolling mill when they were off work. Xu Damao, holding Sen Sen (nickname), happened to bump into Sha Zhu.

"Hey, Shazhu, come and see my son. Isn't he handsome? He weighs seven pounds." Xu Damao said with a smile, "I heard your wife is about to give birth. You are a cook, so the child you give birth to won't be lighter than my son, right?"

Unable to bear Xu Damao showing off around him, Sha Zhu simply hid in the house.

When Xu Damao came back with his son, some people in the courtyard were happy, while others were disappointed.

The most obvious ones were the families in the Central Court, Yi Zhonghai and Jia Zhangshi. They both had strong opinions about Lou Xiaoe giving birth to a son, wondering why she didn't have a daughter or maliciously wondering why Lou Xiaoe didn't have a difficult labor.

They were also the ones who did not come out to congratulate Xu Damao.

But Xu Damao didn't care.

On the contrary, Aunt Wu came over immediately after hearing that Lou Xiaoe had returned, and looked at Sen Sen with great fondness.

"What a lovely child! Old Wang, look at this chubby little face. How delightful!"

The love in Aunt Wu's eyes could not be hidden, she really liked children.

Xu Damao said, "Aunt Wu, if you like the child so much, why don't you and Uncle Wang try hard to have a child?"

The two men blushed, and they have indeed been working towards this direction recently.

Seeing Sha Zhu's depressed expression, Yang Shufen also felt a little worried. She was worried that this baby would be a girl, which would disappoint Sha Zhu. After all, Xu Damao had already given birth to a son. If she gave birth to a girl, wouldn't Sha Zhu lose to Xu Damao?

Yang Shufen touched her belly and said, "Child, you must have a boy."

On the other side, Jia Zhang was also scolding Xu Damao at home, asking him why he gave birth to a boy. How could this bad guy give birth to a boy?

Jia Zhang targeted everyone in the courtyard equally, but a few families stood out, the Xu family being one of them. Especially after Xu Damao took over Aunt Wu's house, Jia Zhang couldn't feel comfortable if she didn't curse him a few times every day.

"Mom, how did Xu Damao's childbirth offend you?" Jia Dongxu shared wedding candy with Banggeng and Xiaodang. He was popular, and although he had some conflicts with Xu Damao, they were not worth mentioning on such a happy occasion.

Jia Zhang didn't answer, but snorted and went back to her room to continue cursing.

A few days after Lou Xiao'e was discharged from the hospital, Luo Hu came over to tell them to go to the Lou family home. Logically, Lou Zhenhua, the grandfather, should have been the one to visit his grandson, but somehow, the situation had reversed.

The night before going to the Lou family, Xu Damao found Jiang Fan. The first thing he said was, "My father-in-law wants to see you."

Jiang Fan frowned at this, but still agreed. He asked Xu Damao to tell Lou Zhenhua that he would go to Lou's house at midnight tomorrow.

After Xu Damao found out, he left without asking any questions.

After closing the door, Jiang Fan began to think about what had happened to the Lou family. According to the original plot, the Lou family would not be in trouble until a few years later. Even if he had his own influence now, it would be impossible for him to be targeted in advance. After all, his influence was not that great.

Jiang Fan recalled the history of this period, but found nothing except natural disasters. However, he still had some guesses, that is, the Lou family's backing.
