Siheyuan: Revenge of the Stupid Pillar

The deaf old lady seemed to have a special preference for Lou Xiao'e, and always felt that Xu Damao was not worthy of Lou Xiao'e.

"Old lady, I don't know how to explain this to my parents. I want to stay at your place for a while. Is that okay with you?"

"Of course, no problem. I'm bored alone, and having you here is just right for me."

"Thank you, ma'am!"

Early the next morning, Lou Xiao'e and Xu Damao went to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get their divorce certificates, and they both became single again.

Secrets cannot be kept in the compound. Lou Xiao'e and Xu Damao divorced in the morning, and everyone in the compound knew the news by noon.

"Why do you think Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e want to get divorced?

"Why else? Xu Damao must have been provoked by Zhuzi. These two have been at odds since childhood, and they always compete with each other in everything."

"What can Xu Damao compare with Zhuzi? Zhuzi is now the deputy director of the logistics department of the steel mill, and he is just an ordinary employee of the steel mill. Compared with Zhuzi, he is like a firefly to the bright moon, or a mayfly to the vast ocean."

"I guess Xu Damao admits that he can't compare to Zhuzi in terms of job title, but he can't accept that he can't compare to Zhuzi in terms of having children."

"Zhu Zi is now the father of four sons, but he doesn't even have a daughter, so he decided to divorce Lou Xiao'e."

"Is it true that Lou Xiao'e has a health problem and cannot have children?"

"It's hard to say. Having a child is a matter between a couple. It could be Lou Xiao'e's problem, or it could be Xu Damao's problem."

"I think it's Xu Damao's problem. Xu Damao's face is sallow, his spirit is listless, and his steps are unsteady. It's obvious that he has indulged himself too much."

"Lou Xiao'e had a rosy complexion and a plump body. She didn't look like she had any health problems at all."

"I also think it's Xu Damao's problem. I heard that Xu Damao took advantage of the opportunity to show movies in the countryside to mess around. I'm afraid he has ruined his health a long time ago."

"Another dead eunuch!"

……

He Yuzhu returned to the courtyard and came to the deaf old lady's house in the backyard, where he saw Lou Xiao'e chatting with the deaf old lady.

He Yuzhu frowned and said, "Lou Xiao'e, it's already so late, why don't you go home and cook? Why are you still staying at the old lady's house?"

"Oh, by the way, you don't seem to know how to cook. Is it possible that Xu Damao is not going home tonight and you want to stay at the old lady's house for a free meal?"

Lou Xiao'e raised her eyebrows and said in a bad tone:

"He Yuzhu, this is the old lady's home, not yours. I can stay here as long as I want, and you have no right to interfere."

He Yuzhu was about to retort, but the deaf old lady spoke first:

"Zhu Zi, Lou Xiao'e and Xu Damao are divorced, and she plans to stay at my house for a while."

He Yuzhu was shocked when he heard this: "Lou Xiao'e, are you and Xu Damao divorced?"

Lou Xiao'e looked angry: "What? Are you surprised?"

He Yuzhu smiled calmly: "I'm not really surprised, but I didn't expect you to get divorced so soon?"

"So, you have already concluded that Xu Damao and I will divorce?"

"Correct!"

"What is your basis? Just because we don't have children?"

"This is only a small part of the reason. The main reason is that you are too strong and treat Xu Damao like a dog."

"Xu Damao and I have been friends since we were little. I know he is a competitive person. But since he married you, he has been controlled and suppressed by you in every way. Sooner or later, he will explode."

"Also, he chose to marry you because of your family background and wealth. He originally thought that he could rely on your father's power to advance rapidly in his career, but he did not expect that he would be hindered by your status and would not be promoted for a long time."

Lou Xiao'e was furious and said, "You are talking nonsense. Xu Damao can't get promoted because he is incompetent. What does it have to do with me and my family?"

He Yuzhu chuckled and said, "Why is it okay? You are the daughter of a capitalist, and our country is a proletarian dictatorship. People with capitalist elements will be restricted from holding leadership positions and can only work as workers. You must know this, right?"

Lou Xiao'e was struck by lightning when she heard this. After a moment, she said:

"I didn't think about it this way before. It seems that I have really implicated Xu Damao."

He Yuzhu comforted him, "You don't have to feel guilty. Xu Damao is not a good person. He has been messing around outside. In addition, he is a technical worker, so it is difficult for him to be promoted. Even without you, it would be difficult for him to be promoted."

Lou Xiao'e was furious and asked, "You said Xu Damao was having an affair outside?"

He Yuzhu looked suspicious and said, "You don't know? I thought you and Xu Damao divorced because of this?"

Lou Xiao'e said angrily: "He Yuzhu, tell me honestly, how did Xu Damao mess around outside?"

He Yuzhu was silent for a moment, then said calmly: "Lou Xiao'e, since you have already divorced Xu Damao, there is no need for you to know these things, right?"

Lou Xiao'e said firmly: "No, I want to know everything."

He Yuzhu said after careful consideration: "I just heard that Xu Damao took advantage of the opportunity to show movies in the countryside to have affairs with several widows in the countryside..."

Lou Xiao'e was furious: "You bastard, I'm going to settle the score with him now."

The deaf old lady hurriedly stopped him and said, "Xiao E, don't go. It's useless to go!"

"First of all, you and Xu Damao have already divorced, so there is no need to worry about these things anymore."

"Secondly, you don't have any evidence to prove that Xu Damao cheated during the marriage. As long as he doesn't admit it, there's nothing you can do to him."

"Xiao'e, since you have divorced Xu Damao, you must cut off all ties with him and stop having any involvement with him."

Lou Xiao'e tearfully said, "Old lady, I can't accept this. This bastard Xu Damao not only said everywhere that I was a hen that couldn't lay eggs, but he also kept a wild woman outside. I really can't swallow this."

He Yuzhu said with a wicked smile: "Lou Xiao'e, if you really want to take revenge on Xu Damao, go and collect evidence of Xu Damao's affair."

"Now that Xu Damao is divorced from you, he will definitely become more unscrupulous. It should be easy to find evidence against him."

Lou Xiao'e's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she said excitedly:

"That makes sense, let's do it!"

The deaf old lady glared at He Yuzhu and said:

"Xiao'e, don't listen to Zhuzi. How can you, a female comrade, collect evidence of Xu Damao's affair? Are you going to follow him?"

"Don't let yourself get hurt before the evidence is collected."

He Yuzhu smiled and said, "Lou Xiao'e, if you are afraid of danger, you don't have to show up and just ask his father for help!"

Lou Xiao'e smiled when she heard this, and it was obvious that she had made a decision in her heart.

"Don't worry, old lady. I won't risk my own safety..."

The deaf old lady sighed and said, "Xiao E, do whatever you want, but you must pay attention to safety!"

Lou Xiao'e nodded and said, "Don't worry, old lady, I'll save it!"
