Siheyuan: Game of Red Dust

Chapter 102: Eight Years of Love and Changes in Everyone

After marrying Lou Xiao'e, Xu Damao was very happy for a while, but for some reason, since he married Lou Xiao'e, on the wedding night, Xu Damao couldn't get an erection when he wanted to consummate the marriage. Xu Damao thought it was because he hadn't touched a woman for a long time. After all, Xu's father was very strict, so Xu Damao didn't care. After a few days, when it still didn't work, Xu Damao became a little anxious.

While showing a movie in the countryside, he tried it on a young widow in the village and found it was fine. Then he returned home and tried it on Lou Xiao'e, but it still didn't work. Xu Damao couldn't get the best out of Lou Xiao'e, and since she didn't dress up, he gradually became more and more disgusted with her. However, her father was also Lou Bancheng, and a lean camel is bigger than a horse. He couldn't divorce her immediately, and he was also jealous of the Lou family's wealth, so he simply chose to ignore it.

Whether he had something to do or not, he would go to the countryside to get a task. In addition, since his father was not around, Xu Damao returned to his old ways. He often went to the countryside to show movies, look for young widows, and ask for some benefits from the villagers. Xu Damao gradually became addicted to this kind of life.

Several years passed without incident, and Xu Damao gradually forgot how embarrassed he was that night.

Lou Xiao'e regretted marrying Xu Damao after obeying her parents. She couldn't forget the older brother she'd met that day at Fengze Garden. Furthermore, her father often spoke of Li Weidong, describing his excellence and influence. Li Weidong's image grew ever taller and more captivating in Lou Xiao'e's mind, much like the fanaticism of a celebrity in her past life, willing to give everything for them.

Just when Lou Xiao'e was about to get married, the pet cat raised by one of her younger sisters was always in heat. She asked Lou Xiao'e to accompany her to see a doctor to get some medicine. Lou Xiao'e went with her. When they got there, the doctor was an old Chinese doctor. Her younger sister said that this old Chinese doctor was the descendant of the imperial physician. The doctor gave her a small magic bag and asked her to hang the small magic bag around the cat's neck so that the cat would not be in heat.

Lou Xiao'e asked casually.

“Will this work on people?”

The old Chinese doctor said, "This dosage is small, so the effect on people is minimal. When the dosage is increased, the impact on people will be greater. Even if a couple is in love, if they put this thing in bed, they will gradually dislike each other."

Lou Xiao'e took this to heart and then left with her sisters.

A few days later, the little sister came to play with Lou Xiao'e again, and Lou Xiao'e pretended to ask casually.

"By the way, did the magic bag you bought for the cat last time work?"

"Xiao'e, you don't know, that magic bag is very effective. My cat now only wants to fight when it sees other cats, and has no other thoughts. Now I don't dare to take it out." said the little sister.

After the sisters left, Lou Xiao'e took some extra money and secretly went to see an old Chinese doctor. He prescribed two prescriptions with increased dosages, tailored to the physique of a healthy young man. Initially, the doctor was hesitant to prescribe them for her, fearing she might harm someone. Finally, she found him. Later, Lou Xiao'e claimed it was his father who married her to someone she disliked, not to harm anyone, but to raise her on her own.

Then he used his money power again and asked for more money if the patient disagreed. In the end, the old Chinese doctor was defeated by his money power and prescribed two super-large doses of medicine for Lou Xiaoe.

After Lou Xiao'e secretly took the medicine home, she sewed one set of medicine into the pillow, and divided the other set of medicine into many parts, with a small part hanging outside her underwear. So even after getting married, Lou Xiao'e was still a virgin.

Then there's Qin Huairu. Since she only earned ten yuan a month, she flirted with men at the factory, all for a bite to eat. This earned her a bad reputation. After Xiaodang and Huaihua were born, her salary jumped to twenty yuan, doubling her income, but her life remained the same. If she didn't suck Shazhu's blood and lend him money, she'd still have a hard time, living on coarse food.

Qin Huairu was unwilling to do this. She didn't marry into the city to live a life of poverty. She married into the city, to Jia Dongxu, because she wanted a better life. So Qin Huairu became just like in the TV series, and maybe even more extreme in some ways.

Then there is Liang Ladi. Liang Ladi listened to Li Weidong and moved out of the courtyard house. She has been living in the courtyard house that Li Weidong bought for her. There are no other residents there, so her life is very stable.

Then there is Wang Jianjun's family. Wang Jianjun's family lives a pretty good life because both of them are working and their salaries are not low. In addition, Dazhuang and the others go to practice boxing with Li Weidong every weekend, and they don't have to spend any money, so they have been living a prosperous life during this period.

Some time ago, Da Zhuang and his family had grown up and their house was no longer big enough for them. The couple was worried about this. Then Da Zhuang brought them the key to Liang Ladi’s previous house, saying that it was given to them by Damao, and asked them to live there temporarily.

The next day, Wang Jianjun found Liang Ladi at the steel mill and asked about it. Liang Ladi said that Li Weidong had originally wanted to let Dazhuang and his friends live in his house, but Liang Ladi said that her house was not full, so she let Dazhuang and his friends live in hers first. In this way, Dazhuang and his friends moved into Liang Ladi's former home.

Everyone in the courtyard was envious of this operation, but there was nothing they could do. After all, everyone knew that the Wang Jianjun family, Liang Ladi family and Li Weidong family had a very good relationship. No one could say anything if they gave the place to Dazhuang and others to live in.

As for Li Weidong's empty house, everyone in the courtyard was very envious, but no one dared to occupy it. After all, the last incident was still fresh in their memory. He was sentenced to ten years in prison for just taking a notebook. If someone occupied the house, he would be shot directly.

So even though Li Weidong's house was empty, apart from Dazhuang and his friends who went in to play when they had nothing to do, no one dared to set foot in Li Weidong's house. Everyone was scared by the last time. If it happened again, who could withstand it?
In 64, Yan Jiecheng married Yu Li, and the relationship between Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e became increasingly distant. Until one day, Xu Damao finally couldn't help it and had a frank talk with Lou Xiao'e.

"Lou Xiao'e, let's get a divorce! I don't know why, but I just can't get interested in you. Maybe we are not destined to be together!" Xu Damao said.

"Okay, but I don't want my parents to know. Also, I want to rent a house in the yard. Can you help me find it?" Lou Xiao'e said.

"There are no other houses in our yard. Only Li Weidong's house is vacant, but no one dares to touch his house." Xu Damao said in embarrassment.

"You can go ask him. By the way, do you know where he is? Take me there when the time comes. I will give you 500 yuan regardless of whether it succeeds or not." Lou Xiao'e said. Maybe the 500 yuan also includes Lou Xiao'e's compensation to Xu Damao.

After hearing this, Xu Damao's eyes lit up and he said, "Really? Xiao'e, I haven't touched you in the past few years, and I've been serving you every day. Now that we're divorced, do you want to give me some compensation?"

Lou Xiaoe...

After some bargaining, Lou Xiao'e agreed to Xu Damao that after the divorce, Xu Damao would take her to see Li Weidong, and Lou Xiao'e would give Xu Damao three thousand yuan.

The next day, Lou Xiao'e and Xu Damao went to get a divorce. After the divorce, Xu Damao bought a lot of White Rabbit milk candies and gave them to Dazhuang and others, asking them to take him and Lou Xiao'e to find Li Weidong, saying that he had something to discuss with Li Weidong.

Without giving it much thought, Dazhong and the others took Lou Xiaoe and Xu Damao to Li Weidong's courtyard. When they reached the gate of the courtyard, Dazhuang and the others asked the two to wait there and ran in to report the news. A short while later, Li Weidong came out.

After Li Weidong came out, he looked at Xu Damao and his wife strangely, not understanding why they came to see him.

"Da Mao, do you have something to talk to me about?" Li Weidong asked.

"No, no, Lou Xiao'e wants to talk to you about something." Xu Damao said, glancing at the bag in Lou Xiao'e's hand.

Lou Xiao'e also saw Xu Damao's eyes, then took out the money she had prepared long ago from her bag and handed it to Xu Damao.

"We are even now. You can go now!" said Lou Xiaoe.

Xu Damao took the money with a smile on his face and said to Lou Xiaoe, "Okay, you guys chat." With that, Xu Damao smiled, nodded to Li Weidong and left.

Li Weidong was bewildered. What was going on? Why did Lou Xiao'e give money to Xu Damao? And weren't they husband and wife? How could they be even?
"Big brother, we meet again. Do you still remember me?" Lou Xiao'e said to Li Weidong happily and blinked at him.

"Sister Xiao'e, Lou Zhenhua is Mr. Lou's daughter, right?" Li Weidong also said with a smile.

"Hehe" Lou Xiao'e was overjoyed when she saw Li Weidong recognized her at a glance.

"Sister Xiao'e, what do you want to talk to me about?" Li Weidong asked.

Lou Xiao'e looked around, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.

Li Weidong understood instantly and took Lou Xiaoe into the courtyard.

There was no one in the yard today. Several women took their children to Xueru Silk Shop to make clothes. Only Li Weidong was at home.

Li Weidong brought Lou Xiaoe into the living room, poured her a glass of water, and sat down to listen to what Lou Xiaoe had to say.

"Sister Xiao'e, just tell me if you have any problems. I will definitely help if I can." Li Weidong said.

Lou Xiao'e started by talking about how her father was dismissed from his post, and then talked about how he made her marry Xu Damao in order to protect her, and then how she drugged Xu Damao, and how she was still a virgin for so many years.

Having said that, she looked around and found that there was no one around, then she expressed her love to Li Weidong.

Then she talked about her divorce from Xu Damao. She didn't want her parents to know and wanted to live in Li Weidong's house temporarily.

After finishing her words in one breath, Lou Xiao'e looked at Li Weidong lovingly.

Li Weidong was at a loss whether to laugh or cry after hearing what Lou Xiaoe said. It should be that when Li Weidong first met Lou Xiaoe, Lou Xiaoe must have had a good impression of her, but this good impression gradually weakened over time until it disappeared.

But Lou Xiao'e's father kept telling Lou Xiao'e how good Li Weidong was, just like brainwashing. The image of Li Weidong in Lou Xiao'e's mind became more and more perfect. In the end, Lou Xiao'e became Li Weidong's loyal little fan.

When Lou Xiao'e meets someone, she will subconsciously compare him with the image of Li Weidong in her mind. The result is that all people are worse than Li Weidong in her mind. This is a vicious circle. She does not realize that the Li Weidong in her mind is an illusion, that he is perfect.

Li Weidong had no other options for her situation and could only take things one step at a time.

"Sister Xiao'e, I will ask about your father's affairs for you later. You can stay in my house in my hometown temporarily.

But I'm already married, so it's impossible for us to be together. Besides, I'm not as good as your father says. There's a difference between the me in your mind and the real me.

You're still young, so you should think it over carefully. Once you figure it out, you'll realize there's no such thing as a perfect person. You'll eventually build your own family and find your own happiness. Li Weidong agreed to Lou Xiaoe's request and offered his words of comfort.

……

In the end, Lou Xiao'e left Li Weidong's courtyard with a confused mood and the key to Li Weidong's hometown.

Two days later, Li Weidong spoke with Lou Bancheng, though it's unclear what they discussed. The next day, Lou Bancheng went to the Ministry of Industry and donated all his visible assets, including his small Western-style house, vowing to be a glorious proletarian fighter. He also requested a job and housing to support his family.

After a meeting and research by the Ministry of Industry, the property donated by Lou Zhenhua was accepted, and the housing allocated to Lou Zhenhua and others was moved to the middle courtyard of the quadrangle where Lou Xiao'e lived. Lou Zhenhua was sent to Hong Kong to continue to preside over foreign trade, leaving his wife Tan and Lou Xiao'e to live in the quadrangle.
