Chapter 10 Where is the Deaf Old Woman?
nking a bowl of soy milk Drinking soy milk is far less nutritious than drinking milk."Xu Damao gave him a sideways glance: "Look at you, blowing yourself up! You're still drinking milk! Why don't you...He Yuzhu took a large gulp of the wine in his cup, and said, "Good! Then I'll speak plainly! Your Xu Damai is simply not a good person! If it weren't for the fact that beating people is illegal now, I would have beaten this kid to pulp to vent my anger!"
Jian Lou Xia'e pouted her lips unhappily. He Yu Zhu reached out to stop her: "Hold on, Lou Xia'e if you want to refute, you have to wait for me to finish speaking, otherwise I won't say anything!"
Lou Xiaogua pursed her lips, but ultimately remained silent. She wanted to see what tricks this silly Zhu was up to!
The old deaf woman on the side also chimed in, "Silly daughter-in-law, don't get impatient first. Let your husband finish speaking, and grandma will come to help you seek justice!"
The old lady now wished these two would spark some romance while they were tipsy. There was no way she'd just let it go like this!
Wipe it up, you have to wipe it up! No one can talk me out of it today!
Finally, the deaf old woman spoke. He Yuzhu couldn't help but belch contentedly.
“When Jia Dongxu from the Zhongyuan died, there were just a bunch of widows and orphans left. I felt sorry for them so I would give them some help every few days. It's not that I'm being overly sentimental, but seeing Qin Jie work hard to support her family alone made me want to help. Honestly, if it weren't for her, I wouldn't even bother with their whole family because of how that Jia's mother acts."
Of course, there's definitely more than just me, He Yuzhu, with a soft heart in this courtyard. Your family Xu Damai has compassion too. The day before yesterday, when Qin Huaiyu was cooking in the canteen, he stood behind her and whispered jealously, saying that he would help her get food tickets, on the condition that she go to the warehouse and wait for him after she finished eating.
“Lou Xiaoe, don't glare at me. I dare to say this, and I'm not afraid of you confronting me. When we were cooking that day, not only did I hear it, my apprentice Ma Hua isn't deaf either! If you really don't believe me, find a chance to ask Qin Huaiyu privately. But if there is even half a lie, He Yuzhu will be struck by lightning!”
Seeing what He Yuzhu said so confidently, Lou Xiaomei's pretty little face turned pale in an instant. What good could come of a man and a woman running to the storage room alone This damned Xu Damao, he actually dared to say such vulgar things behind my back!
Little did the young woman expect that Xu Damao would actually follow through with his words and take action.
He Yuzhu didn't expect that a single sentence could make Lou Xiaogang do something, he just continued talking to himself: "Can I stand my temper At that time, I scolded him severely. Who cares about his few meal tickets Could it be that without Xu Damao, Qin Huairu wouldn't be able to afford food"
"Well done, I didn't expect your Xu Damai to be so capable. His mind isn't much bigger than a pinprick, and the next day he teamed up with our cafeteria director to give me trouble."
"This grandson purposely came to the kitchen of the dining hall to try and start a fire for me. After I shoved him twice, the head chef of the dining hall immediately came out and caught me in the act. The two of them acted so convincingly, playing along perfectly, and they pinned the blame on me, making me pay him ten yuan. They said if I didn't, they'd go to the factory manager and make a fuss, forcing me to clean the toilets for a month."
“If he came openly, I, He Yuzhu, wouldn't be scared at all! It’s just that Xu Damai is good at these underhanded tricks! Otherwise, I would have to draw a clear line with Qin Huaiyu. Things are already tense enough, and if he knew that after returning to the courtyard, I secretly sent meat to Qin Huaiyu, I wouldn't be able to finish cleaning the latrine until the end of the year!”
"You really think I'm afraid of him A real man doesn't back down from a fight! Let me make this clear, He Yuzhu will get his revenge sooner or later!"
"Damn it, the most unlucky one is still me. I originally wanted to buy some meat for my grandma to make a delicious meal and vent my grievances to her. Unexpectedly, this son-in-law got the cheap deal!"
After hearing He Yuzhu's words, Lou Xiaomei felt like a jar of mixed condiments had been overturned in her heart—a most unpleasant mixture of emotions.
She finally understood why He Yuzhu acted the way he did when facing Qin Huaiyu before. It was because he was afraid that rumors would reach Xu Damao's ears!
The young mistress paled and defended her master, "Our big Mao just wanted to have some fun with his words, he didn't really mean any harm..."
He Yuzhu sneered: "Don't mention that. I ask you, did Xu Damai go to the commune cinema downstairs today Before he left, he boasted to me that he had a sweetheart there, a white-skinned widow who was obedient and good at serving people. What kind of person is Xu Damai, do I need to say more You Lou Xia'e wouldn't really think that he was just talking trash with Qin Huairu before, would you"
Lou Xiao'e was struck by lightning.
Seeing Lou Xiaoxiao's dumbfounded expression, He Yuzhu continued to give her a hard-hitting dose: "Xu Damao is quite the schemer, isn't he He goes around flirting with widows, just taking advantage of the fact that they don't have husbands! But Lou Xiaoxiao, you don't need to be like this. Honestly, I don't believe that you, Lou Xiaoxiao, are a fool. You two live together, Xu Damao's clothes and pants are all washed by you now. All this time, haven't you noticed anything suspicious Who would believe it if you said it"
Lou Xiaoga almost immediately remembered that last month, Xu Damai had washed his own clothes after returning from the Red Flag Commune movie screening. That diligent spirit was something else!
Waaaahhhhh..........
As soon as she thought about marrying such a scoundrel, Lou Xia'e couldn't hold back any longer. Her eyes welled up with tears, and they began to flow down her cheeks uncontrollably.
He Yuzhu saw this and curled his lips, saying: "Don't say it, you don't want to. Say it, and you get wronged again. Who have I offended By the way, Lou Xia'e, do you keep your word or not You still owe me three cups of wine!"
Lou Xia'e wiped away a tear with her hand and said through gritted teeth, "Who owes you wine"
As he spoke, he kept gulping down three cups of
wine in a row.
He Yuzhu stood up his thumb and said, "Okay, one thing at a time, let's just say we are even."
As the alcohol took effect, Lou Xiaoe felt increasingly ashamed of herself.
She shouldn't have been so easily persuaded. Unable to resist her mother's relentless soft and hard tactics, she agreed to marry Xu Damai, such a troublemaker!
Back then, when Xu Damai's mother worked as a maid in her own home, she desperately fawned over her own mother, saying that her son was skilled, had one trick that could conquer everything, and most importantly, had good character and was honest. The way she lowered her head and behaved meekly was truly something to behold - she seemed so sincere and guileless.
Nowadays, she actually dares to put on airs and give herself a hard time during every festival just because she hasn't gotten pregnant!
These two are a pair of scoundrels. They talk as if they were honest, but deep down, they're not trustworthy at all!
And there's also Xu Damao's own father, who is just as cunning and devious as the third master from the front courtyard!
He was talking to himself in a roundabout way, saying that Xu Damai, as a projectionist, couldn't run back and forth conveniently. Wasn't he just trying to get him to go home and plead with his father Wasn't he relying on the face of the steel mill shareholder to get him a bicycle arranged for him
Look at the conduct of this whole family!
I really had my eyes closed to marry into his family!
Thinking and thinking, Lou Xia'e's helpless tears flowed again. She murmured, "Grandma, what should I do"
Seeing that the old deaf woman didn't respond, Lou Xia'e tilted her head and searched around again. Then she couldn't help but be puzzled, "Hmm Where is this deaf old woman Also, why is this house so dark, even the door is closed"bout From today onwards, I'm really not eating my meals properly anymore""Who cares Haven't you seen what's written on the board Report a ladle and get a free meal!""That's right! Compared to other ca...
