Siheyuan: Traveling through Cai Quanwu, pretending to be Uncle Shazhu

After Xu Damao married Lou Xiao'e, he was indeed nice to her at the beginning.

She did the laundry and cooked the food without any complaints.

In contrast, Lou Xiao'e, a woman, stays at home all day and does no housework.

This is unimaginable in this era.

If it were another family, if the daughter-in-law behaved like this, the parents-in-law would have beaten and scolded her long ago.

The Xu family never said much, so the Lou family must be involved.

In the TV series, Lou Xiao'e said that Xu's mother forced her to drink Chinese medicine, which is very normal in this era.

From the dialogue in the TV series, we can tell that both Auntie and Yi Zhonghai probably drank a lot.

In Cai Quanwu’s memory of his previous life, his former elementary school Chinese teacher and his wife also drank a lot of Chinese medicine for the sake of their children.

But it was of no use, so he ended up adopting a daughter from his younger brother's family.

That was all in the 1990s.

As for Xu Damao's later change in attitude towards Lou Xiao'e, it can be said that Sha Zhu should bear a great responsibility.

Others would at most say a few words behind Xu Damao's back about not getting pregnant after being married for a long time, but Sha Zhu would directly mock him when they met.

No normal person can stand being ridiculed in person.

Xu Damao was restrained enough in not killing Sha Zhu.

Given the concepts of this era and Sha Zhu's ridicule, it would be abnormal if Xu Damao's mentality did not change.

Now that Xu Fugui is interested and has introduced Xu Damao to a wife in advance, Cai Quanwu thinks it may not be a bad thing.

Given the background of the Lou family, even if Xu Damao is fertile and marries Lou Xiao'e, it is hard to say what the outcome will be.

The Lou family was destined to not escape that disaster.

Rather than suffering later, it is better not to be together in the first place.

This is a good thing for both parties.

If Xu Damao marries a wife of equal social status, regardless of whether he is fertile or not, he will definitely not have to do laundry and cook for her every day, and he will not be looked down upon by her family.

No matter who Lou Xiao'e marries, as long as she is not so unlucky, she can at least have her own children in the marriage and will not be looked down upon so much.

As for the fate of the Lou family, it is inevitable under the wheel of history. Lou Xiao'e's marriage is destined to have twists and turns. It all depends on the choice she makes.

In short, the road is tortuous, but the future is bright.

Cai Quanwu thought a lot in his mind, and seeing that no one was willing to speak, he decided to add fuel to the fire to see if he could change the fate of the two.

So, he deliberately smiled and joked with Xu Fugui:

"Lao Xu, get married and start a family. I think you really need to find a wife for Damao as soon as possible."

When Xu Damao heard what Cai Quanwu said, his eyes lit up. These words touched his heart. Without a wife, he always felt inferior to Sha Zhu.

"Uncle Cai, you smoke."

Xu Damao took out a cigarette and handed it to Cai Quanwu with a smile, appearing very attentive.

After Cai Quanwu took the cigarette, Xu Damao hesitated for a moment, but still handed one to his father.

Xu Fugui felt depressed when he saw his son's completely different expression.

He is more attentive to outsiders than to his own father. What is he trying to do?

Xu Fugui glared at Xu Damao, took the cigarette, and then slowly spoke:

"Old Cai, what you said makes sense."

"But we can't rush this matter. Damao hasn't finished his apprenticeship yet. It won't be too late to talk about this matter after he finishes his apprenticeship."

Xu Damao smiled when he heard his father's first words, but when he heard the latter part, the smile on his face disappeared immediately and he quickly retorted:

"Dad, what do you mean by it's never too late to talk about it after you start your apprenticeship? And, I'm about to start my apprenticeship."

Xu Fugui looked at the somewhat impatient Xu Damao and scolded him angrily:

"You haven't even started yet, why are you in such a hurry?"

"Even if you become a master, without a job, how can you support your wife? Do you want me and your mother to support you?"

Xu Fugui didn't want to say these words in front of outsiders. He had his own considerations about the arrangements for Xu Damao.

But now that Xu Damao had bumped into him, Xu Fugui couldn't care less and just cursed out loud.

When Sha Zhu saw Xu Damao being scolded, he felt very relieved and immediately added fuel to the fire:

"That's right, Xu Damao, don't be anxious yet. Wait until you finish your apprenticeship and Uncle Xu will arrange a job for you. It won't be too late to find a wife then."

"You don't have a job, so it's not easy to find a city girl. You can't ask Uncle Xu to find one for you in the countryside."

"Country girls don't have rations."

Xu Damao was already very angry after being scolded, and seeing Sha Zhu adding fuel to the fire, he vowed, "Sha Zhu, don't worry, I will definitely marry a girl who has a job in the city."

Xu Damao boasted that he was no worse than others. Even Sha Zhu could marry a wife who had a job in the city, so Xu Damao could naturally not be worse than Sha Zhu.

"Xu Damao, you are ambitious." Sha Zhu gave Xu Damao a thumbs up and praised him with a strange smile.

Xu Damao did not appreciate Sha Zhu's praise. He snorted coldly and did not answer.

Cai Quanwu and Xu Fugui listened to the conversation between the two and looked at each other.

They both knew that Xu Damao's statement of wanting to marry a girl with a job in the city was not just an angry remark.

This should be what Xu Damao really thinks.

Sha Zhu and Xu Damao have been competing with each other since they were young. No matter what kind of wife Sha Zhu marries, Xu Damao will definitely not let Sha Zhu outdo him.

However, neither of them said anything. Who hasn't been frivolous when they were young? So they found a topic to talk about.

After chatting for a while, Xu Fugui called Xu Damao and went back home.

……

"Old Cai, Yi Zhonghai has been released by the street."

As Cai Quanwu had expected, the next day when Cai Quanwu and Xiao Wu returned to the courtyard after get off work, as soon as they arrived at the door, someone told Cai Quanwu that Yi Zhonghai had returned.

"Back? Did he come back on his own, or was he sent back by someone from the street?"

Cai Quanwu was very curious about how Yi Zhonghai came back, because a lot could be seen from it.

Yi Zhonghai was taken away by people sent by the street. If he was accompanied by street staff and returned to the courtyard to explain everything clearly, it would be fine. But if Yi Zhonghai came back alone, what would everyone think?

I guess everyone can come up with many different versions of the story.

It’s like in the future, if someone is suddenly taken away by the police station, and if he comes back alone in the end, everyone will wonder if this person has committed a crime that led to him being taken away by the police station.

As for why you were released in the end, it might be because the police station had no evidence. Otherwise, why didn’t they arrest you instead of someone else?

So many people were arrested by mistake. In order to avoid misunderstandings, the police station will send them back and let them explain everything to everyone.

"I came back alone." Someone answered Cai Quanwu's question.

"Oh, that's right."

Cai Quanwu thought that the street knew that Yi Zhonghai was maliciously reported, but they didn't even send anyone to clarify the matter. This shows how bad an impression Yi Zhonghai left on the street.

"By the way, some people say that Yi Zhonghai was reported by someone. Is this true?" While thinking about it, someone asked Cai Quanwu this question.

Cai Quanwu didn't expect that the news of someone reporting Yi Zhonghai would spread so quickly in the hospital. He nodded to the other party and confirmed that the news was true.

As for where the news came from, Cai Quanwu was too lazy to guess, it was probably from those few companies.

Afterwards, someone asked Cai Quanwu if he knew who reported Yi Zhonghai. Cai Quanwu answered perfunctorily and pushed his bicycle into the courtyard.

Not to mention that Tsai Quanwu only has guesses in his mind about this matter, even if he knew exactly who reported it, he would not say it out.
