Siheyuan: Xu Damao's New Life

Chapter 221 Liu Guangfu Comes to Seek Help

Xu Damao has been living in Lou's house for several days. Tomorrow is a day off. Tonight Xu Damao specially returned to the courtyard and planned to deal with Qin Huairu's affairs tomorrow.

He already knew about Qin Huairu and Xiao Huaihua. If Qin Huairu was really sent to prison, what would happen to Xiao Huaihua, who was born prematurely? He was not so cold-blooded as to ignore the life of an innocent child.

Xu Damao passed by the middle courtyard and asked Yu Shui to have dinner together. Now Ding Qiunan is also addicted to reading novels, and she and Yu Shui have become good friends. Every time Yu Shui writes, she will discuss the plot with Ding Qiunan.

Qin Huairu was shocked when she saw Xu Damao coming back from the window. He must have come back to punish her. Qin Huairu felt a little regretful, but it was useless to regret what she had done.

At this time, Qin Jingru prepared dinner and brought it up, "Sister, let's eat first while Huaihua is sleeping."

"Jingru, I just saw Xu Damao come back. There will definitely be a meeting of the entire school soon. What should I do?" Qin Huairu had suffered a series of blows during this period. She was exhausted and at a loss for a moment. Just like a drowning person who would tightly grasp the last straw, she could not help but ask her cousin for help.

Qin Jingru thought that in her hometown in the countryside, children would just accept the beatings if they made mistakes, so what else could she do?

"Apologize sincerely and try to get leniency. What else can we do when they have the evidence in their hands? Someone from my hometown came to me a few days ago and brought me a message saying that something happened at home and asked me to go back first." After Qin Jingru finished speaking, she looked up and secretly observed her cousin's expression.

Sure enough, Qin Huairu's expression changed suddenly, but she quickly concealed it.

"Since someone from my hometown has been sent here, it must be an emergency. When do you plan to go back?"

"Let's do it tomorrow. Take the early bus at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning, otherwise we will have to wait until the afternoon." Qin Jingru really didn't want to stay even a minute longer. Now she just wanted to leave her cousin's house as soon as possible.

Qin Huairu didn't mention the ticket, because she really didn't have much money now. Qin Jingru didn't mention it either, because she still had the money she brought from her hometown and the five yuan Liu Guangfu left for her.

Afterwards, no one spoke anymore and just ate dinner in silence. Xiao Dang seemed to sense that something was wrong with the atmosphere and was unusually obedient today.

Liu Guangfu in the backyard would occasionally glance in the direction of Xu Damao's house when he got off work these days, so he was seen by him as soon as Xu Damao came back today.

"Mom, I'm going to go to Damao's house first and then come back to eat."

"Da Mao is back. I was wondering why you were always looking outside these days. Kid, if you want to go, you have to wait for your brother Damao to finish his meal." Li Cui Lian said.

Liu Guangfu slapped his forehead, thinking that he was only thinking about his own business. Brother Damao had just come back from get off work and had not eaten yet, and he was also with He Yushui. It was really not appropriate for him to go at this time. He suppressed his thoughts and prepared to go after he finished his meal.

Xu Damao returned home and started busying himself with cooking, while Yu Shui helped to clean up the house. After all, no one had lived there for several days, and the furniture was covered with a layer of dust.

"Yushui, how is your novel going?"

"I'm about to finish the last part of the trilogy. I'm planning to write the next one after I finish this one."

"Our top student is really not simple. Do you want to come up with a pen name? I want to submit the manuscript to the newspaper anonymously to avoid trouble in the future, but I am also worried that there will be problems with the copyright ownership in the future. Do you have any good ideas?"

He Yushui thought for a moment and said, "Why don't we take one or a pair of things as proof, just like the tiger talisman used by generals in ancient times. Two-way verification can prove our identity."

Xu Damao was very happy when he heard this and praised: "Yu Shui is indeed a future college student, he is really smart. This is a very good idea, let's do it."

Soon, Xu Damao prepared the meal, "Girl, go see if your brother Nan is back. If not, ask your sister-in-law Qiunan to come over for dinner."

Yu Shui responded and went to Nan Yi's house, but came back soon with Ding Qiunan who was pregnant.

"Sister-in-law, please sit down. Brother Nan is really something. He doesn't even think of coming back early to take care of his wife." Xu Damao said.

"He told me at noon today that he would go to a leader's house to cook in the evening. I have a serious reaction and can't stand the smell of cooking fumes. In the past, when he didn't come back, Yu Shui helped me cook." Ding Qiunan said.

"Okay, let's eat quickly. Today's food is really rich." Yu Shui licked his lips after saying this.

The three of them started chatting while eating. Xu Damao didn't have any rule of not talking while eating or sleeping, so laughter could be heard from time to time at the table.

After dinner, Xu Damao moved a few chairs to the yard to enjoy the cool air and digest the food. He always had to wait until everyone had finished their meal before holding a meeting.

Liu Guangfu, who lived next door, had finished his meal long ago. When he saw Xu Damao and others enjoying the cool air in the yard through the window, he hurried over.

"Brother Damao, Brother Damao, I have something to talk to you about."

"Go home and get a stool to sit down first. Are you in such a hurry to get married?" Xu Damao joked.

Liu Guangfu moved a chair from Xu Damao's house and sat down. "Brother Damao, how did you know this when I haven't told you yet?"

"Oh, that's true. Tell me, which girl do you like?"

"It's Qin Huairu's cousin, Qin Jingru." Liu Guangfu said shyly.

"You're really good, boy! You're attracted to such a pretty girl? Are you unrequited love for her?" Xu Damao said.

Yu Shui also said, "I saw him and Qin Jingru talking in the yard several times from inside the house, and he even helped her take care of the children a few days ago. So you two are dating?"

"Hehe." Liu Guangfu touched his head a little embarrassedly, "I'm not in love with you alone, we are in love... love... love... what is it."

"You two are in love, right?" Ding Qiunan covered her mouth and giggled. She thought this young boy who was just beginning to fall in love was so interesting.

"That's what I mean. I want to marry her, and she won't marry me unless I do. But she's very unhappy with her sister, and she's going back to her hometown soon. So I want to ask Brother Damao to find me something to do, a long-term temporary job, so I can earn more money to marry her."

"Oh, then why did you think of looking for me?" Xu Damao asked.

"Since you spoke up for us and stopped us from getting beaten, my brother and I decided to listen to Brother Damao in the future. My brother also told me in his letter to come to Brother Damao if I have any problems."

Xu Damao nodded. Before, he always looked at things from the perspective of the future and thought that Liu Guangfu was too young and therefore didn't think about it. But now he thought that the boy was already sixteen or seventeen years old. If he didn't go to school, it was time for him to date and find a job.

"What if what your father and I say is different?" Xu Damao said deliberately.

"Then I will listen to Brother Damao too." Liu Guangfu said affirmatively.

"Okay, come see me tomorrow morning at nine. I really need help with something. But you have to help me with something now?"

"What's the matter? Brother Damao, just tell me what to do." Liu Guangfu said solemnly.

"It's not a big deal. I just want to inform everyone to hold a meeting to discuss how to deal with Qin Huairu's false accusation against me and Yu Shui. I wasn't in the hospital a few days ago, and Qin Huairu had just been discharged, so I wasn't in a hurry."

"Okay, Brother Damao, I'll go inform everyone right away." Liu Guangfu got up and ran back home to inform his mother first.
