Living in a Siheyuan

The next morning, Li Ping'an took Lou Xiao'e to the hospital again on his bike.

Today Xu Damao is feeling much better and can basically lead a normal life.

Seeing Lou Xiao'e and Li Ping'an, Xu Damao said gratefully: "Ping'an, thank you for your help this time. When I get better, I'll make something good for us to drink together."

"Brother Damao, you should take care of your body first. There's no rush to drink."

Lou Xiao'e also said angrily: "Why do you and Sha Zhu fight all the time? You always get the short end of the stick. Look at how you ended up in the hospital this time."

When Xu Damao heard Sha Zhu's name, he cursed angrily, "I will definitely not let him go this time. I will sue him and have the police arrest him."

Li Pingan didn't want them to have such a bad relationship. So he said, "Brother Damao, your doctor checked and said it was a minor injury. The police will at most ask Sha Zhu to compensate you for your medical expenses and lost wages. If it's more serious, they will just detain you for a few days. I think you should just ask for more compensation this time."

Xu Damao said unwillingly, "Can't you just send him to jail for a few years?"

"Brother Damao, what are you thinking? If everyone is sent to jail for a fight, there won't be enough cells. What's the time now? Some people can't survive and just want to stay in jail. At least they won't starve to death there." Li Ping'an explained again.

Xu Damao thought about it and finally said bitterly: "Then I will stay in the hospital and not go out. Let him pay more."

Just then, a nurse came in and said, "Your test results are out, and the doctor asked you to go to the office to get them yourself."

After hearing the results, Li Pingan said to Xu Damao, "Brother Damao, lie down and rest first. Xiao'e and I will go get the results for you."

Although Xu Damao was able to move, it still hurt to walk. So he lay on the bed and nodded. He himself felt that it was nothing, and he was much better now. So he didn't care.

Li Pingan and Lou Xiao'e went to the doctor's office. It was the same doctor from yesterday.

Seeing that Li Ping'an and Lou Xiao'e were both here, he looked at Lou Xiao'e with some sympathy and said, "You are the wife of the patient Xu Damao, right? You should be mentally prepared for what I say."

When Lou Xiao'e heard this, she felt sick. What did that mean? Did Xu Damao have a serious illness and won't live long?

She said anxiously, "Doctor, what's wrong with my Da Mao? Is it incurable?"

The doctor saw that she had misunderstood, so he explained, "He's fine, don't worry. It's just that his sperm count is very low, and the survival rate is also very low. This makes it unlikely that the two of you will be able to have a baby."

Lou Xiao'e had just breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that the couple was fine. But now she was furious when she heard that they would not have children. She loved children very much. She was so envious of Li Ping'an's two children every day.

Now that I heard that Xu Damao was infertile, I became anxious.

She held the doctor's hand and said, "Doctor, is it really impossible to cure it?"

The doctor shook his head and said, "With our current medical conditions, it is basically impossible. You can ask those famous old Chinese medicine masters later. Maybe one of them has some folk remedies."

After coming out of the office, Lou Xiao'e was still a little lost. Li Ping'an pulled her aside to the corridor and said, "Xiao'e, go back now and don't tell Xu Damao about this."

Lou Xiao'e looked at Li Ping'an puzzledly and asked, "Why?"

Li Pingan continued, "What's the point of telling him now? He's already like this. If he knew he couldn't have children, who knows what he would do? Will you continue to live with him or divorce him?"

Lou Xiao'e was also at a loss and said, "Ping An, what do you think I should do? If my family made me marry him just for safety, and now I want a divorce, I don't know how to tell my family."

Li Pingan continued to deceive him, saying, "Then let's not talk about it. Just pretend you don't know about this matter. Just live your life the same way you did before."

Lou Xiao'e said sadly, "What if I don't have a child?"

Li Ping'an quietly pinched her face and said, "Don't you already have me? I'll let you have more children when the time comes."

Startled by Li Ping'an's action, Lou Xiao'e looked around guiltily. Seeing that there was no one around, she said, "Is this okay?"

"Don't worry, no one will know. Don't you want our child?"

Lou Xiao'e thought Li Ping'an was much more handsome than Xu Damao, and maybe their children would be even better looking in the future, so she nodded and agreed.

Just like that, after Li Ping'an and Lou Xiao'e had discussed it, they calmly returned to the ward.

When Xu Damao saw the two of them coming back, he asked, "Why did you take so long? What did the doctor say?"

Li Pingan said, "The doctor said you are fine and can be discharged. I thought you would stay for two more days, but the doctor said that beds are tight and you can't stay any longer. Let's process your discharge."

The doctor did say that he could be discharged, but he didn't say that he had to be discharged now. Li Ping'an, the sixth child, was afraid that the doctor would meet Xu Damao and let the cat out of the bag, so he planned to discharge him now.

Xu Damao did not doubt it and said, "Just be discharged. I don't want to stay here anymore. It would be great to go home and lie down."

In this way, Lou Xiao'e went to handle the discharge procedures. Li Ping'an helped Xu Damao downstairs and sat him in the truck bed.

We quickly returned to the courtyard.

It was not yet noon, and everyone had gone to work. Li Ping'an helped Xu Damao home.

When passing by the Intermediate Court, Wu Tingting saw it and came over to say, "Da Mao, why are you back? I said I would take Zhuzi to see you after he got off work. I wanted him to apologize to you in person."

Xu Damao looked at the pretty Wu Tingting and said, "It's okay. I'm fine now. Come home and rest."

"Then go home and have a good rest. I'll bring Zhuzi to see you when he gets off work."

After returning to Xu Damao's home and making arrangements for him, Li Ping'an left.

Lou Xiao'e reluctantly sent him to the door, her eyes full of attachment to Li Ping'an.

Since she found out that Xu Damao was infertile, Lou Xiao'e's heart has turned cold. If Li Ping'an and Xu Damao each occupied half of her heart before, now Xu Damao probably doesn't even have one-third of her heart.

When they got home, Yu Li was washing clothes for the two children, so Li Pingan went over to help.

Now the two little ones are no longer satisfied with the small crib. They have to walk or crawl on the floor for a while every day. The clothes get dirty before they can even be worn for a day.

The two talked while washing clothes. Yu Li said to Li Pingan, "Pingan, you don't know how powerful Wu Tingting is. I heard that after you sent Xu Damao to the hospital, Wu Tingting knew that it was Qin Huairu who caused the incident, so she went home and beat Sha Zhu until he lay on the ground begging for mercy. I heard from the second aunt that Wu Tingting's small body could knock Sha Zhu to the ground from his back in one fell swoop. Sha Zhu couldn't even get up from the fall. Do you think she is powerful?"

Li Pingan said after hearing this: "What's so strange about this? You know how she got here? A woman, not bad looking. With a younger sister. She was able to walk from such a far place as Henan Province to Sijiu City. Do you think ordinary people can do it? She had a nickname called "Tigress" at the resettlement site. Do you think she is amazing?"

Yu Li asked in surprise: "Why didn't I hear you tell me that before? Did Sha Zhu know?"

"I didn't tell you because I was afraid that Sha Zhu would find out. When Sha Zhu saw her, he was fascinated by her. I guess he didn't think about these things."

Yu Li complained, "Aren't you just cheating Sha Zhu? Sha Zhu must hate you to death now."

Li Pingan said with a smile: "No, Sha Zhu needs someone more powerful than him to take care of him. Look, isn't it good now? Sha Zhu should take care of the family more every day and not let his sister starve for Qin Huairu."

Yu Li nodded after hearing this. Sha Zhu has indeed gotten much better since getting married. Now that he has his own wife, he no longer misses Qin Huairu.

At noon, Lou Xiao'e came. They basically shared meals with Li Ping'an's family. Xu Damao was often not at home anyway. Lou Xiao'e would put the goodies she brought from her mother's home at Li Ping'an's house to eat.

After finishing her meal, when Lou Xiao'e was leaving with the lunch box for Xu Damao, she gave Li Ping'an a very subtle look.

Li Pingan knew that this meant that he was asked to go to the house over there, so he nodded quietly.

After waiting for a while, seeing Yu Li trying to coax the child to sleep, Li Pingan found an excuse to slip out.

Arriving at this place where a beautiful girl is hidden, he skillfully took out the key and entered the house.

Before he had to wait any longer, Lou Xiao'e arrived.

When she saw Li Ping'an, Lou Xiao'e threw herself into his arms and said, "Ping'an, I want a child. I want our child."

Knowing that Lou Xiao'e was still worried about what happened in the morning, Li Ping'an didn't say much and directly carried Lou Xiao'e into the bedroom.

After the storm, Lou Xiaoe said, "Ping An, when do you think I can get pregnant?"

Li Pingan said comfortingly: "Don't worry, it will come when it's time."

Seeing Lou Xiao'e's anxious look, the two fought again.
