People in the Siheyuan: I am a Buddhist who is in a mess

Xu Damao returned to the courtyard happily at noon, thinking about marrying Lou Xiaoe in a few days. In the future, all the huge wealth of the Lou family would belong to the Xu family. In the afternoon, Xu's mother came to the courtyard in a hurry to find Xu Damao.

"What, the Lou family doesn't agree to this marriage?" Xu Damao was stunned.

He couldn't understand why he was fine in the morning but not in the afternoon. Could it be because of the check-up at the hospital in the morning?

Xu Damao took out the prescriptions from the hospital and examined them one by one. The doctor's handwriting was rather sloppy, so he recognized part of it. For the rest, Xu Damao hurriedly took it to a nearby health center.

After finding a doctor he knew, Xu Damao handed the examination list to the doctor, who explained each item to him.

All the orders are normal and there are no problems.

"Hey, why don't you have the result sheet of your reproductive examination?" After checking, the doctor found that one sheet was missing.

"What reproductive examination form?" Xu Damao felt that this was the crux of the problem.

"Yes, this is the content of your examination, but the result sheet for this content is no longer available." After saying this, the doctor looked at Xu Damao suspiciously. Nowadays, ordinary people would not do reproductive examinations. Only those who are sick would do this. Thinking of this, the doctor moved a little distance away from Xu Damao.

"Doctor, do you know what the result is?" Xu Damao asked.

The doctor shook his head and said, "You should go for it again, or ask the doctor who examined you at that time. This is just the content of the examination. There are no details, so I can't tell you what the result is."

After that, the doctor returned the checklist to Xu Damao without leaving a trace, then poured some alcohol and began to rub his hands, and continued: "I have another patient waiting in this room, so I'll leave first."

Xu Damao was confused and kept guessing.

"Is it that my place is broken? That's not right. When I went to the countryside to look for the White Widow some time ago, it was fine. Or is it that it is sick? That's not right. Isn't it very clean?"

Xu Damao couldn't figure it out, and was afraid that he really had a dirty disease. After all, in this era, it was normal for men and women to have undisciplined relationships and get dirty diseases.

Xu Damao didn't believe it, so he went back to the hospital where he had been that morning, found the doctor who had examined him, and asked for another examination receipt.

“Difficulty in fertility”

These four words made Xu Damao's eyes go dark. He hadn't even gotten married yet, and he had difficulty conceiving, which meant that it would be difficult for him to have children in the future. Without children, he would become a "family extinct" just like Yi Zhonghai in the courtyard. Xu Damao was unwilling to accept this result.

"How could this happen? Doctor, did you make a mistake?" Xu Damao asked unwillingly.

"I checked it twice this morning, and it's correct. If you don't believe me, go to another hospital and have another look."

The doctor said with certainty, but seeing Xu Damao's expression, he knew that this news must have been a big blow to Xu Damao, so he continued: "In your case, if you take good care of yourself, you still have a chance. In your case, either you were not well in the womb, or you were injured during development, which damaged your foundation."

Xu Damao had to believe what the doctor said, but he didn't believe that this was because his mother had a bad condition in the womb. As the saying goes, you reap what you sow. He, Xu Damao, looked very much like his father. It was impossible that his father could have children, but yet Xu Damao was unable to have children. He must have been beaten.

As for who beat him up, Xu Damao also had a suspect, and that was He Yuzhu. He and He Yuzhu had been at odds since childhood. He Yuzhu relied on his strong build to beat Xu Damao up, and his attacks were ruthless, as he liked to use all of Xu Damao's dirty tricks.

After leaving the hospital, seeing that there was still some time left, Xu Damao rushed to another hospital, spent some money, got an IV, changed doctors, and had himself checked again. With a glimmer of hope, he saw - the examination list.

Same test results.

"It is difficult to have children, and the reproductive function unit is suspected to be injured."

This time, there is one more recognition.

Xu Damao no longer had any hope of having children in the future. His heart was filled with resentment. He swore that he would make He Yuzhu become a "family extinct" like him.

"Da Mao, what did the doctor say?" Xu's mother had been waiting in Xu Damao's house in the courtyard for almost an entire afternoon. She was very anxious, and when she saw Xu Damao coming in absent-mindedly, she asked quickly.

"Mom, this is not the place to talk. I'll go to your place tonight and tell you the details." Xu Damao didn't want to talk about this in the courtyard. He didn't want to spread the fact that he was infertile. Otherwise, it would be difficult for him, Xu Damao, to find a wife in the future. Who would be willing to marry a man who couldn't have children?

Xu's mother didn't have much of an opinion, so when she heard her son say that, she stopped asking.

The Lou family's marriage was arranged by Xu's mother, with Xu's father giving the idea behind the scenes. Now that the marriage has fallen through, Xu's mother is very sad. She knows how wealthy the Lou family is. Lou Zhenhua was once known as Lou Bancheng, which is enough to show how wealthy the Lou family is.

That is to say, the workers and peasants are in charge now. If it were in the past, if Xu's mother dared to propose marriage to the Lou family, she would be beaten to death.

Xu Damao was not interested in his marriage with the Lou family at the moment. The Lou family must have known that he was infertile, so the marriage was doomed to fail. So Xu Damao's target was He Yuzhu. He believed that everything in his life was caused by He Yuzhu.

It's not that Xu Damao didn't think about reporting the case, but this was a childhood incident and there was no evidence. He couldn't just say that he was infertile. The doctor said that he might have been beaten and asked He Yuzhu to pay compensation. By then, he wouldn't be able to blame him, but the fact that he was infertile would be known to everyone. By then, he, Xu Damao, would have no way to live as a human being.

After simply packing up his things, Xu Damao followed Xu's mother out of the courtyard and went to the house where Xu's father and mother currently lived.

More than a week ago, Yan Fugui finally couldn't wait any longer, so he took the initiative to find Xu Damao, gave him one hundred yuan, and asked Xu Damao to help him find connections.

Over the past week, Yan Fugui asked Xu Damao about his work every one or two days, but Xu Damao always pushed the question to him. Today, when he saw Xu's mother rushing to the courtyard, he also got some news that the Xu family might have climbed up the social ladder, but he didn't know where specifically.

When Yan Fugui saw Xu's mother coming to the courtyard, he guessed that he might have climbed up the high branch, so he hurriedly waited for Xu Damao to come back and asked about his work.

However, Xu Damao had no time to care about Yan Fugui's affairs at the moment, and he, Xu Damao, had almost spent all the money Yan Fugui gave him. A date with the rich lady Lou Xiaoe naturally cost money, so the hundred yuan was spent here.

Pretending not to hear Yan Fugui's shout, Xu Damao left the courtyard without looking back.

Now that the marriage is called off, Xu Damao can't help with Yan Fugui's affairs anymore, so he might as well just give up.

"This Xu Damao is a dog who looks down on others. He won't respond even if you call him."

Yan Fugui cursed in a low voice, feeling a little embarrassed. He did not suspect Xu Damao of taking money but not doing anything. After all, they lived in the same courtyard, and there had never been such a person who took money but did not do anything.

When Xu's father came home from get off work and saw the gifts and other items returned by the Lou family, he guessed that something had changed in the marriage. However, since Xu's mother was not at home, he kept his composure and waited in his room.

After the Xu family reunited, this matter was discussed.

"What, you can't have children anymore."

Father Xu was shocked. He only had one son, Xu Damao. If Xu Damao couldn't have children, how could he have grandchildren? Wouldn't his Xu family end with him?

.....

Xu Damao told his father the doctor's guess, and his father also believed that it must be He Yuzhu's doing.

The current situation is that He Yuzhu is married and may be able to have a child next year, but Xu Damao has even called off his marriage, so having a child is even more impossible.

"We can't be rushed. Take your time. When we find a chance, we must kill him." Father Xu was more ruthless and more patient than Xu Damao. He asked Xu Damao to suppress the matter and slowly look for an opportunity.

"Dad, I can't wait even for a day. I feel so angry when I think about not being able to have a child." Xu Damao didn't want to endure it.

"You have to endure it even if you don't want to. Can you beat that idiot? I taught you before not to just talk big, but you didn't listen. What good is it for you to keep complaining like this? Can that idiot lose a piece of meat?"

"Da Mao, listen to your father. We have to avenge this. There is a saying that goes, 'A gentleman's revenge is never too late, even after ten years.'"

Xu's mother was also persuading her.

Xu Damao didn't say anything, just sat there quietly.

"Isn't Shazhu in the canteen of the steel mill? That's a rice jar. Would a mouse enter the rice jar and not steal rice? Now the couple are in the canteen. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future. You just keep an eye on Shazhu. In this canteen, if he reaches out, remember him. When the opportunity comes, hit him hard. If you do, you must kill him."

Father Xu gave Xu Damao some advice.

It can be said that Xu Damao's evil and treachery are inherited from his father Xu.

When Xu's father made a suggestion, Xu Damao nodded in agreement.

Xu's mother prepared the meal and brought it over. She also opened the wine and was about to pour it for the father and son.

"Just stop drinking and quit drinking in the future. Not only will it cause trouble, but you also have to start taking care of your child. You can't drink this wine." Father Xu stopped him.

Xu Damao put the wine glass aside awkwardly.

"From now on, don't touch those dirty things between men and women. Cultivate your character for a few years, and there will be some hope. You don't want to be childless in the future, do you?"

Father Xu talked about Xu Damao's relationship with women again. Father Xu knew about this matter because he was his own son after all.

"I haven't looked for it in a long time."

Xu Damao felt aggrieved. He was in his prime and not being able to handle this matter was almost like costing him his life. During this period, in order to please the Lou family and avoid making any mistakes, he did behave himself for a long time. Unfortunately, the marriage was still called off.

However, Xu Damao was also a ruthless man, even to himself. He agreed in order to be able to have children in the future. Of course, he was angry and unwilling in his heart, and this hatred was naturally transferred to He Yuzhu.

"In the future, be more careful and use your intelligence to learn how to be an official. You are in the Propaganda Department, which is a place where you can achieve results. If you work in an office and find the right path, it will be easy to get promoted."

"What does this man want? It's power and wealth. Now that the Lou family's affairs have been blown, and he can't get the wealth, he'll ask for power. When you become an official and have power, it won't be difficult to control that stupid Zhu."

"Don't be so shortsighted. How much are the things you bring to the commune to show movies in the countryside worth? If you can become an official, there will be many people who will give you money."

Father Xu took a sip of wine himself, and then gave Xu Damao some instructions. He had said these words to Xu Damao before, but Xu Damao didn't listen. This time, Xu Damao did listen.

"Dad, there's something. I'm in love with Lou Xiao'e and I'm short of money, so I took a hundred yuan from Mr. Yan in the hospital. He wants me to find a job for his eldest son, Yan Jiecheng. An apprenticeship that can be converted to a regular job will do."

After saying this, Xu Damao felt a little guilty. He had no money left. Since he wanted to deal with Sha Zhu in the future, just like the great man said, he had to unite all the people who could be united. It would not be easy for him to embezzle Yan Fugui's money.

Father Xu pondered for a while, but did not blame Xu Damao. He knew Yan Fugui. After all, they had been neighbors for so many years. It was not easy to get the money. If Xu Damao and Lou Xiaoe's marriage was successful, it would not be a problem to arrange an apprentice for him based on his status as the son-in-law of the Lou family. But now, it was a bit difficult.

"You don't have to pay back the money. You are now a formal projectionist. It is not convenient for you to go to the countryside to project films alone. Tell the factory to hire Yan Jiecheng as your apprentice. Be careful and let others do the heavy work, but keep some of the technical skills."

Father Xu immediately came up with a plan: "Go tell Yan Fugui that the money is not enough. Although the projectionist is an apprentice, he also works in an office. Ask him to add another two hundred. If he doesn't want to, forget it. You don't have to pay back the hundred. If Yan Laokou gives you money, don't spend it on yourself. Give it to the leaders of human resources and publicity, one hundred each, and you can get the job done. Others will still remember your kindness."

After all, experience makes the wiser, and in no time at all, Xu's father arranged everything.

Xu Damao was also full of admiration after hearing this. Compared with what Xu's father had done, what he had done was nothing.

Seeing the father and son talking about money, Xu's mother also felt distressed and said, "This wedding is off. Our family spent a lot of money on this wedding."

In order to arrange Xu Damao's marriage, Xu's father and mother indeed took out all their savings over the years.

"It's okay. Although the Lou family has cancelled the engagement, they can't withdraw so easily. Now is not the same as before when the Lou family was still Lou Bancheng. Tomorrow, you can send a letter. You don't need to say much. Just say that the two children are not destined to be together. It's just that they have spent too much money these days and their family is in financial difficulty and very poor."

Father Xu talked about his own plan and asked Mother Xu to do it.

Xu's mother was a little confused: "Will this work?"

"Don't worry, they will send the money. If this gets out, it won't be good for Damao, but it won't be good for the Lou family either. If they make a fuss and plot against our status as employees, it will be enough to make the Lou family suffer."

Father Xu's understanding of human nature is not comparable to Mother Xu and Xu Damao. He sees it very clearly. In his eyes, the Lou family is just a paper tiger. This is also the reason why he dared to let Mother Xu propose marriage for Xu Damao...

After being comforted by Xu's father at home, Xu Damao felt much more at ease. After dinner, Xu Damao returned to the courtyard alone.

Yan Fugui kept an eye on Xu Damao's house and even left the door to the courtyard open, wondering whether Xu Damao would come back at night.

Seeing that the lights in Xu Damao's house were on, Yan Fugui knocked on Xu Damao's door.

"Third uncle, you are really holding on to your promise. You are too eager." Xu Damao teased, but his tone was relaxed. In this courtyard, Yi Zhonghai and the deaf old lady supported He Yuzhu, while Liu Haizhong and Yan Fugui were the ones that he, Xu Damao, wanted to fight for.

Yan Fugui blushed when he heard Xu Damao's teasing, but he was used to calculating after all. Moreover, he felt that he had paid the money, so he had the confidence. He said, "Da Mao, isn't the third uncle also worried? Jie Cheng's child has nothing to do at home every day. As a parent, how can he not be worried? He is not as promising as you."

"Uncle, since you are here, let me tell you the situation. If you didn't come, I would have to come to find you tomorrow." Xu Damao walked up the stairs and said.

When Yan Fugui heard that there was a chance, he hurriedly smiled and said, "Da Mao, it's you who should tell me, how is the situation going?"

After saying that, Yan Fugui quickly took out a pack of Daqianmen cigarettes, carefully took out one and gave it to Xu Damao, and then put the whole pack back into his pocket.

Xu Damao looked down on Yan Fugui's stinginess, but he didn't mock him this time. He took the cigarette, struck a match, lit it for himself, and then said slowly: "Uncle, you know it's hard to find a job now, not to mention that it's a good job in a steel mill."

Yan Fugui nodded and said quickly: "I know that, Damao, we still have you."

Yan Fugui lifted Xu Damao up.

After hearing this, Xu Damao was also very happy and continued, "I have found someone. There are two options. One is a temporary worker in the steel rolling mill. The handling team in the steel rolling workshop is always short of people. Yan Jiecheng will be able to report in two or three days. There will be a chance to become a regular employee in the future, so he will definitely be given priority."

"Da Mao, tell me about the other one."
