Siheyuan: Sizhu starts blindly and takes a new path

Chapter 230 Seduction

Xu Damao held Xu Shouye and glared at Lou Xiaoe's departing back, "Bah, crazy woman, if it wasn't my son today, I would have beaten you to death." Seeing what the third uncle and the third aunt wanted to say, Xu Damao directly blocked them, "Third uncle, the child has peed, I have to go back and change the child's diaper. Then we will meet." After that, he quickly walked to the backyard.

The third aunt curled her lips and said, "This Xu Damao is such a piece of shit. I helped him but he didn't even say thank you. And Lou Xiao'e is the same. People from the same family are really alike."

"Mom, they're divorced. They're not a family anymore."

"Forget it, let's just think of it as a waste of our time. They will regret it sooner or later." The third uncle comforted his wife.

Xu Damao, who had just entered the house, felt his face burning and breathed out with a hissing sound.

"Xu Damao!" Qin Jingru rushed out from the inner room and saw the bloodstains on her husband's face at a glance. "Which woman did you play hooligan with and got scratched?" Her voice suddenly rose, and Shouye in Xu Damao's arms trembled with fear.

Xu Damao quickly waved his hands: "What nonsense are you talking about! I am..."

"I'm talking nonsense?" Qin Jingru was so angry that she was shaking all over. She snatched Xu Shouye from Xu Damao's hand and said, "You took my son out to do such a shameful thing? Xu Damao, are you still a human being?"

"Listen to my explanation!" Xu Damao stamped his feet anxiously, the wound on his face hurting, "I was scratched by Lou Xiao'e!"

"Lou Xiao'e?" Qin Jingru's voice suddenly rose an octave. She repeated the name through gritted teeth, "Lou Xiao'e, Xu Damao, are you still flirting with her?"

"No, she seduced me, and I ignored her, so she got angry and scratched me like this. I am still wronged."

"She seduced you?" Qin Jingru stuffed the child into Xu Damao's arms, picked up the feather duster on the table and rushed out, "I'm going to settle the score with that vixen now!"

Xu Damao chased after her with the child in his arms: "Jingru! Jingru, calm down!" The wound on his face hurt so much that he was extremely panicked. If this really got to the Lou family, he would not be able to make up for his lie.

In the yard, Sha Zhu was squatting by the sink washing vegetables. Seeing this scene, he asked, "Hey, what's going on?"

Qin Jingru's eyes were red: "Shazhu, get out of the way! I'm going to find that shameless Lou Xiao'e!"

Sha Zhu was stunned: "Lou Xiao'e? What happened to her?"

"She seduced my man!" Qin Jingru waved the feather duster, "Look how she scratched Damao!"

Sha Zhu then noticed the wound on Xu Damao's face, and immediately understood what was going on. He sneered, "Xu Damao, what nonsense are you making up? Lou Xiao'e just left my house not long ago, how could she have the time to seduce you?"

"She seduced me when she first went out." Xu Damao did not want to lose face in front of Sha Zhu and still insisted on his previous remarks.

Sha Zhu looked Xu Damao up and down, "How dare you say that? Are you good-looking or in good health?"

"Shazhu! You," Xu Damao was retorted by Shazhu. He was about to retort, but the words turned into "Why are you so protective of Lou Xiaoe? What is your relationship? When she was still in the yard, you two were already unclear about each other, and now you are together again."

"You still dare to talk about what happened before? That's a conclusion. If you say that now, I can sue you for defamation." Sha Zhu is no longer the chef who used to fight at the slightest provocation. Now he is the canteen owner He Yuzhu. "I think it must be because you pissed off Lou Xiao'e with your bad mouth that she punished you."

Xu Damao didn't expect that Sha Zhu would just blurt out the truth of the matter.

"Zhuzi, come back quickly, Qiyi is out." Just as Shazhu was about to continue speaking, Yu Li in the room lifted the door curtain and said, "Hey, why are there so many people in the yard?"

"There's no one here, there's a mad dog barking and biting." Sha Zhu ignored Xu Damao and went back to his room with the washed vegetables.

"Shazhu, you are talking nonsense, don't go..." Xu Damao was about to pull, but was stopped by Qin Jingru.

After listening to Sha Zhu's words, Qin Jingru figured out why Xu Damao was injured. Since he didn't hook up with other women, it didn't matter. "Do you want to be beaten? Why are you arguing with him? Go home quickly."

"Well, I'm afraid of him!" Although Xu Damao was jumping up and down, he still walked to Qin Jingru's side, "Jingru, I was just showing off our son to Lou Xiaoe, and she was unreasonable and scolded our son."

"Okay, got it. Go home."

On the day of Qiyi's first birthday, Yu Li got up quietly at dawn. She looked at the still sleeping Qiyi, then looked out the window at the gray sky, and sighed. She had held a grand ceremony for him when he was one year old, but this year, she didn't even dare to mention it.

"Are you up?" Sha Zhu pushed the door open, holding a bowl of hot egg custard in his hand. "Today is your Good Friday, so I steamed some egg custard for you. Eat it while it's hot."

Yu Li took the bowl and lowered her voice: "Today is July 1st, my birthday, I thought we should just have a meal together as a family, and don't make it public."

Sha Zhu nodded and looked out the door: "I bought a pound of meat from the canteen yesterday. I will cook a few dishes tonight. Call your parents, the old lady, Uncle Guan and Uncle Yi, and we will close the door and quietly celebrate Qiyi's birthday."

As he was talking, there was a light knock on the door. Sha Zhu opened the door and saw that it was Lou Xiao'e. She was wearing an ordinary blue cloth jacket, holding a cloth bag in her hand, and looked a little nervous.

"Lou Xiao'e?" Sha Zhu lowered his voice in surprise, "Why are you here?"

Lou Xiao'e looked behind her and whispered, "The old lady said today is her July 1st birthday, so she came to see me."

Yu Li quickly let her in and closed the door before she dared to speak: "Ezi, you are taking a risk! Outside now..."

Lou Xiaoe smiled and took out a small object wrapped in red cloth from her bag. She opened the red cloth and said, "I gave the child a longevity lock." Inside was a finely crafted gold lock with four small characters "Long Life" engraved on it. "I don't have anything good to give for July's first birthday."

Yu Li shook her head, wrapped the gold lock in red cloth, and pushed it back to Lou Xiaoe, "This is too valuable..."

"Keep it." Lou Xiao'e put the gold lock into Yu Li's hand. "It's not valuable at all. It's not worth much. This is my gift. You can't refuse it, otherwise you will look down on me, the daughter of a capitalist."

Sha Zhu and Yu Li looked at each other and smiled helplessly. Yu Li took the red cloth bag and said, "Okay, I'll accept it for Qi Yi and thank his aunt on his behalf."

Little Qiyi suddenly woke up and babbled, reaching out for a hug. Lou Xiaoe took the child and rocked him gently: "Qiyi has grown so big..."

Yu Li opened the red cloth bag and took out the golden lock. "Xiao'e, how about...you give this longevity lock to Qiyi?"

Lou Xiao'e was stunned for a moment, then understood and carefully hung the gold lock on the child's neck. The gold lock shone with a warm luster in the morning light, making the child's face look even whiter and tenderer.

"It's really beautiful." Lou Xiao'e said softly.

Lou Xiao'e held Qiyi for a long time before she stood up and said, "I have to go, so as not to cause trouble for you if someone sees me."
