Siheyuan: A warm home with wife and children

It smells disgusting.

Ran Qiuye understood, but the other three still didn't.

Why has Xu Damao suddenly quieted down?!

At this moment, Xu Damao was carrying large and small bags on his way home.

He just came back from the lower commune, after showing a movie.

Naturally, he reaped a bountiful harvest; these items were worth almost half a month's salary.

Feeling smug, Xu Damao also had a smile on his face.

As I walked, I thought to myself, "She'll be so happy when I bring these over."

Why has Xu Damao been quiet lately?

Because he's busy dating someone right now!

Yang Jianguo is married, and his wife is pregnant. He's about to have a wife and children, and his life is going well.

Sha Zhu is pregnant too!

Those were the days that others envied, and even Xu Damao was envious.

Given all that, how could he not be anxious and concerned?

While Aunt Liu was introducing things to him, he started looking for things on his own.

There's also Yu Haitang hanging around, and he's determined to win her over.

Xu Damao is busy!

I recently met a young girl.

I just graduated from high school this year and am waiting for my family to arrange a job for me.

The person is beautiful, and the ingredients are good too.

Her family doted on her, and Xu Damao took a liking to her at first sight.

From then on, he would try to get close to people whenever he had the chance.

Now, the two have essentially established a relationship.

However, he dared not let anyone in the courtyard know about this.

None of them wanted to see him doing well.

Yang Jianguo might be an exception, but that would mean he was simply ignored.

He couldn't just wish for his own good fortune.

So, that move that Sha Zhu made back then...

They don't bring their girlfriends into the compound; they date outside and settle things there.

The process was only made public in the courtyard when it was time to get the marriage certificate and hold the banquet.

Xu Damao has thoroughly researched it; let's create an enhanced version.

I kept quiet about my relationship, just kept talking to girls outside, waiting to seduce them...

I won her over and we got married.

I simply led the person into the yard; who could possibly cause trouble?

You're just talking about his past, this and that.

He already has everyone, so what can you do about it?

If it really comes to divorce, Xu Damao isn't afraid.

I finally got it, and I'm so relieved!

I'll find a new one after this, oh dear~

It smells even better, it'll make you guys furious.

Xu Damao was quite confident in this regard.

Those young girls, with just a few words, would reveal their conditions, jobs, and salaries.

How many women could be as naive and unmoved as Yu Haitang?

As for Yu Haitang, if it weren't for Yang Jianguo...

Xu Damao felt that he had already won her over long ago.

No matter how beautiful a factory girl is, she'll cry when she gets to him.

Thinking of Yang Jianguo and Yu Haitang, he began to feel uneasy.

How did Yang Jianguo manage to turn his life around and achieve what he has today?

But Xu Damao could only say these words to himself.

Yang Jianguo is now a rising star in the factory.

Even the head of the publicity department, whose direct superior had to smile obsequiously and act like a brother to him.

He's just a projectionist, can you afford to offend him?

If it weren't for this, would Xu Damao have been so polite to him on ordinary days?

Even if they were criticized, they would just go back without saying a word.

If it were a fool like Zhu, he would have already confronted him...

Even if you get beaten, you have to stand up for yourself.

Even if we lose the argument, we won't lose our spirit; we've never lost a verbal battle...

Chapter 185 Qin Huai Ru Takes Charge and Instructs Granny Jia

Carrying things, they walked from the front yard to the middle yard, and were about to head to the back yard.

Xu Damao was stopped by someone; it was Granny Jia.

"Xu Damao, where did you get all these things you mentioned?" Granny Jia immediately questioned.

Xu Damao chuckled and retorted, "What's it to you? Who are you? Is the toilet brush... clean?"

Granny Jia blushed with embarrassment, her eyes filled with anger: "I'm a resident of this compound, why can't I interfere?"

"Xu Damao, I suspect you're taking kickbacks, and these are the evidence."

"If you can't give me a straight answer today, I'll call Director Wang to ask you."

Granny Jia has recently become obsessed with learning, and is determined to contribute to society and realize her own value.

We must root out the capitalists and corrupt ideologies hidden among them.

Completely dismantle and defeat it, eliminating any future troubles.

After listening to the lecture, Granny Jia was completely absorbed in thinking about it.

Who in this courtyard has the surname Zi?

Yang Jianguo first ruled out that people who don't need to be capitalists are still better off than most people.

There's nothing to complain about in the room's furnishings.

They were either bought as a reward from the factory or given as gifts by high-ranking officials.

Granny Jia was kind-hearted, but she didn't dare to provoke the big boss who could send a car.

She really doesn't have the guts.

Others are either just like us, or they're even worse off than us...haha.

After looking around, the only person Jia Pozi could think of was Xu Damao.

His family used to work as servants for wealthy families.

That mindset must have been corrupted.

Then, thinking back to Xu Damao, who brought things home as soon as he arrived at the commune, isn't this the typical example he found himself?

Therefore, Granny Jia has been keeping a close eye on the outside world for the past two days.

They've been wanting to catch Xu Damao red-handed, and today they've finally got their chance.

Upon hearing the words "Director Wang," Xu Damao's heart skipped a beat.

In fact, even my liver was trembling.

But right now, he absolutely couldn't show any weakness.

If he shows any weakness, Granny Jia will have a handle on him and will be able to cause him trouble again.

"I'm here properly, so stop gossiping."

Believe it or not, you don't need to ask me; I'll have someone come and sue you for defamation.

Despite being in the wrong, Xu Damao was defiant and didn't back down at all when lying to someone's face.

Look at his expression; it even carries a hint of anger.

Anyone who sees this should speak up for him and curse Granny Jia as a worthless person.

Why are they criticizing her? Is that even a question?

Xu Damao scratched her face, but in the end he didn't cause her any trouble; he just ended up being sent to labor reform.

Even now, you can still see a few shallow cuts on the surface...

People didn't argue with her about these things or settle scores.

You're really something. Just because someone mentioned a little too much, you want to frame them and retaliate.

I'm not saying you should wait for someone, but you can't do this, can you?

Granny Jia was taken aback by his words, and a chill ran down her spine as she thought, 'Could it be that I've really misunderstood?'

These things... he got them himself, not as kickbacks from the commune?!

Granny Jia sensed something was wrong. If it wasn't a kickback, where did Xu Damao get all this stuff from?

Granny Jia wanted to trick him again, but Qin Huairu came out of the house: "Mom, what...are you doing?"

After shouting something, Qin Huairu looked at him apologetically and said, "Da Mao, my mom is overdoing her studies."

“These past few days, everyone seems like a bad person to me. Don’t take it to heart. I’m just apologizing to you.”

Hearing this, Xu Damao's expression softened a bit: "Fine, I won't argue with you."

After saying that, he picked up his things and walked back, but his eyes kept glancing at Qin Huairu.

I haven't paid attention to this widow for a while, but I saw her today.

Xu Damao felt that she was more charming and more beautiful than before.

Actually, this is mainly a change in temperament.

Confidence, positivity, and an optimistic outlook bring hope and cheerfulness to life.

These internal changes are most easily reflected in one's outward appearance.

Qin Huairu looks exactly the same as before; she hasn't changed.

However, his own spirit and energy, the kind of temperament that radiates from within, are completely different from before.

In the past, it possessed a captivating allure that could bewitch anyone.

She was soft and weak, looking delicate and easily bullied, so tender that it seemed like she could squeeze water out of her.

Now, Qin Huairu exudes a heroic spirit between her brows.

No longer as watery and pitiful as before, but now radiant with confidence and determination.

The most beautiful person is a confident person.

Confidence is like a magnifying glass, able to infinitely magnify a person's most beautiful side.

Qin Huairu in front of him was just like that; at this moment, in Xu Damao's eyes, she seemed to be shining...
