Siheyuan: The eldest brother of the He family, abuses Shazhu at the beginning

noon.

In the alley of the courtyard.

He Yuliang was walking towards the courtyard, carrying the new clothes he bought for He Yushui.

"Rainwater, how's it going? Peking duck tastes good."

"Yes, it's worthy of being a prestigious restaurant. The taste is really good. Ah, it would be great if I could eat like this every day."

"That's nothing. As long as you want to eat, I can take you there every day."

"Forget it. A meal anywhere costs several dollars. I'd rather you cook. It's delicious and cheap."

He Yuliang felt distressed by He Yushui's sensible look. He reached out and touched He Yushui's head, saying:

"Don't think about saving money for me. I have plenty of money now. Just look if you don't believe me."

Fearing that He Yushui would not believe him, He Yuliang put the bag in his hand on the ground, reached into his arms, exchanged one hundred yuan from the system, and put it in He Yushui's hand.

"Yes, this is my pocket money. How can a little girl wandering around alone without any money?"

That’s right, He Yushui is not the same high school student as in the original work. In this world, the college entrance examination was cancelled due to some special reasons.

He Yushui has now been sent to another place to be a teacher.

Looking at the huge sum of money in his hand, He Yushui, who had not felt the care of his family for a long time, couldn't help but have tears in his eyes and his voice became a little tearful.

"Brother, why are you so nice to me?"

He Yuliang looked at He Yushui strangely, as if she had said something unreasonable.

"Look at what you said. I'm your elder brother. If I don't treat you well, who will?"

This sentence hit He Yushui's heart directly. She rubbed her eyes vigorously and gave He Yuliang a bright smile.

"That's right, it's my fault. I shouldn't have asked such a stupid question. Okay, big brother, let's go back quickly."

Just returned to the courtyard

He Yuliang saw Lou Xiao'e washing clothes with a sad face, as if she had suffered some injustice.

This is not an illusion, Lou Xiao'e has indeed been wronged.

The one who wronged her was none other than her husband Xu Damao.

Yesterday, Xu Damao finally deducted twenty yuan from the stingy Qin Huairu, but before he could be happy, it was snatched away by He Yuliang.

He was already full of anger, and when he got home and saw Lou Xiao'e sitting on the bed waiting for Xu Damao to cook, he vented all the grievances he had suffered that day on Lou Xiao'e.

"Look at you. As a woman, you can't even cook. I really don't know why I married you in the first place."

As the eldest daughter of the Lou family, Lou Xiao'e was already proud. When she found out that Xu Damao dared to scold her, she did not swallow her anger like an ordinary woman. Instead, she scolded back without showing any weakness.

"Xu Damao, don't forget that you were the one who insisted on my father letting me marry you. At the wedding, you also swore to take care of me for the rest of my life. Do you want to go back on your word?"

Lou Xiao'e's words choked Xu Damao.

That’s right, it was indeed him who was so shameless as to insist on marrying Lou Xiao’e, even though he knew that Lou Xiao’e had never done any sexual activity before, he still wanted to marry her.

After all, her father was known as the richest man in Loubancheng, and the steel mill was his property back then.

If it weren't for the fact that the times have changed and it is advocated that the poorer the more glorious, in the past, people like Xu Damao would not even be able to see Lou Xiao'e.

However, even though what she said was true, it did not mean that Xu Damao would give in. On the contrary, he was even more furious because Lou Xiao'e dared to talk back.

"How dare you say that? When I married you, I didn't know you were a hen that couldn't lay eggs. I'm the one who's suffering."

These words instantly hit the pain point in Lou Xiao'e's heart.

The inability to have children after marriage has always been a problem that has troubled Lou Xiao'e.

That woman didn't want to be a mother, especially in this era, and this incident became a scar for Lou Xiao'e.

But today, Xu Damao openly revealed this scar, causing Lou Xiaoe's eyes to turn red and she became careless when she spoke.

"You still have the nerve to criticize me. Do you think I don't know your little troubles? I know that it was because you messed around outside that the thing broke, but now you are blaming the problem on me. Do you have any shame?"

"Snapped!"

Lou Xiao'e's words instantly angered Xu Damao. He got hot-headed and slapped Lou Xiao'e hard in the face.

But after the shake, both of them were stunned.

Lou Xiao'e touched her beaten right cheek in disbelief, her eyes full of disbelief.

Xu Damao actually hit himself?

I actually hit Lou Xiaoe?

Not to mention Lou Xiao'e, even Xu Damao himself couldn't believe that he actually did it.

While I was stunned, I could feel a sense of pleasure welling up in my heart.

But now Xu Damao didn't care why he felt the pleasure, and said to Lou Xiao'e somewhat helplessly:

"I...I'm going to stay out today and won't be back tonight. You can arrange dinner on your own."

After saying this, he fled.

Only Lou Xiao'e was left, still covering her cheek, unable to sleep the whole night.

Knowing that Xu Damao still hadn't returned, Lou Xiao'e, who had nothing to do, had to go to the faucet to wash clothes. While washing, she thought about the slap Xu Damao had given her yesterday.

Coincidentally, He Yuliang and He Yushui walked in from outside at this time.

At first glance, He Yuliang noticed Lou Xiao'e's haggard expression and the slap mark on her right cheek that had not completely disappeared.

After just a little thought, He Yuliang knew what had happened.

It was probably Xu Damao's grandson who beat Lou Xiaoe.

He Yuliang was not surprised by this. For a despicable villain like Xu Damao, beating women was a routine operation for him.

But this does not mean that he agrees with Xu Damao's approach.

Lou Xiao'e is one of the few people in this courtyard who can be called a good person. He Yuliang had a good impression of this woman when he was watching TV dramas in his previous life.

If Qin Huairu was beaten, He Yuliang would only applaud, but if Lou Xiaoe was beaten, He Yuliang would have to take care of this matter.

After making up his mind, He Yuliang walked behind Lou Xiaoe and said in a surprised tone:

"Sister Xiao'e, what's wrong with your face?"

Lou Xiao'e was startled by the sudden voice, but quickly realized that it was He Yuliang's voice.

He quickly wiped his face with cold water, and smiled at He Yuliang with all his strength:

"Nothing, just a little bug crawled onto my face at night, and I accidentally used too much force when I was patting it. It's okay, it will be fine in a while."

Family disgrace should not be made public. Lou Xiao'e concealed the fact that Xu Damao beat her and took everything on herself.

"Oh I got it."

Seeing that Lou Xiao'e didn't want to talk about this matter, He Yuliang didn't want to make himself embarrassed, so he turned around and left.

But before leaving, He Yuliang said something to Lou Xiao'e.

"Sister Xiao'e, don't blame me for being nosy. There are only zero times and countless times when it comes to domestic violence. Once those people get a taste of the pleasure of bullying the weak, they can never stop.

Also, if you have any health concerns, you might as well go to the hospital for a check-up. There is no need to take the blame for other people's mistakes, don't you think?

Well, that’s all I have to say, Sister Xiao’e, see you later.”

After He Yuliang left, only Lou Xiao'e was left standing there, stroking her chin, thinking about something.
