Chapter 83 Are you a woman?

In the slum, some people cursed Widow Leng for being unfaithful to her husband and bringing trouble to her son, and some people cursed Hu Yumei for being immoral and beating children.

Both sides held their own opinions and neither could convince the other.

Until an old man came over.

Ever since Xu Yao heard Ji Changyu's joke, whenever she saw a skinny old man, she couldn't help but look at his belly.

Ahem…

The cold widow cried with tears in her eyes.

Hu Yumei shouted with confidence.

"You want me to pay you back? No way! You haven't returned the money you got from Pan Deng to us yet! Why should I pay? I haven't even sued you for cheating me."

Generally, if there is any problem, the two families can solve it themselves. If they really can't solve it, they will ask the women's director of the street office to mediate, and they will not take the case to the police station or the public security bureau.

The word "tell" made the old man's face serious.

Now that the matter has been brought to the attention of the neighborhood committee, he, as the person in charge, is afraid that his job is over.

"Yumei, how much money is missing from your family?"

"Five yuan! I couldn't bear to buy milk powder for my child, but he actually..."

The old man comforted the crying Hu Yumei, then turned around and asked Hu Pandeng seriously whether the money had been given to the cold widow.

In front of everyone, Hu Pandeng of course refused to admit to having an extramarital affair and said that he had lent the money to his friend.

Because Hu Yumei didn't allow him to associate with that friend, he refused to tell the truth.

Hu Yumei shouted that he was lying.

"Has anyone in our yard seen Pan Deng and Xiao Leng together?"

An old man asked loudly, and everyone shook their heads wherever his eyes swept.

"That was just a misunderstanding." The old man made the final decision.

"Yumei was too impulsive. She beat Jindan without knowing the truth. You are wrong. You should pay Jindan 3 yuan for nutrition."

Hu Yumei was so angry that her eyes were glaring. Just as she was about to make a scene, the old man quickly stopped her with words.

"I am also responsible for not letting you adjust your thinking. I paid for Yumei. You can keep some money to buy some milk powder for the child."

Since he was willing to pay, Hu Yumei naturally had nothing to say, and people in the compound praised the old man for his kindness.

The second uncle in the backyard couldn't help but be pulled out for comparison.

He spat fiercely on the ground and angrily called the old man a sick man and a hypocrite.

"I really don't know what to say about him. Although he does good things with a purpose, he actually spends real money." Xu Yao sighed.

Just like wealthy people doing charity, companies invest money and publicize it at the same time in order to increase the public’s favor and the government’s trust.

"He's trying to smooth things over." Ji Changyu's comment was incisive.

"Hu Yumei hasn't reacted yet. When she gets back, she will get angrier and angrier. She was originally in the right, but after being scolded by an old man, she not only became unreasonable, but also looked confused and got the reputation of beating children."

"Hu Yumei is so miserable, having to deal with such a man."

Xu Yao sighed, and then asked why they both had the surname Hu. Ji Changyu explained that they were siblings within the fifth degree of mourning.

Xu Yao ate a little too much at night. She felt her stomach bloated and a little painful while lying in bed. She put on her clothes and asked Ji Changyu to walk around with her to help digest the food.

Before I knew it, I had reached the backyard.

The Siheyuan was originally a courtyard with five entrances. The employees from various factories lived in the three front courtyards, while the archways of the two back courtyards were welded shut with cement and no one lived there for the time being.

Xu Yao had let Ji Changyu pick her up and looked into the yard before.

The room was overgrown with weeds and there was a jujube tree planted near the wall. As they approached the tree, the leaves rustled.

When the dates are ripe next month, I guess many people will pick them under the courtyard wall to eat.

After turning for a while, Xu Yao's stomach didn't get better at all. Instead, she felt a pain in her lower abdomen.

She realized something was wrong and was about to go back when she heard some strange noises coming from the yard.

Xu Yao opened her eyes wide, quietly put her ear to the wall, and heard the gentle voice of an old man.

"I gave you three dollars. How are you going to thank me?"

Then, there was a rustling sound of fabric rubbing against each other.

"Humph, even without you, Hu Yumei will still pay for it."

"That's hard to say. If she goes to Jindan's school and makes a scene, how will Jindan go to school in the future?"

The cold widow suddenly changed her tone and hummed coquettishly.

"I know you're good to me."

Xu Yao covered her mouth with both hands and silently mouthed "It's an old man and a cold widow", then pointed inside excitedly and pulled down Ji Changyu, who had a serious expression on his face.

The couple eavesdropped together.

"Who do you think is better, me or that guy Hu Pandeng?"

"……you……"

Xu Yao took a breath.

My goodness, you’re 60 years old, how dare you compare yourself with a 20-year-old guy?

Seeing the noise inside getting louder and louder, Ji Changyu's face darkened as he carried his unsatisfied young wife back home.

"You're right. She's really hungry and will eat anything she wants."

Widow Leng deserves her own damnation. Her husband died, and she could have inherited his job, but she chose to elope with him and was cheated out of everything.

Even if she fired the scumbag from his job, the company would not let her go to work.

After saying that, Xu Yao went back to the room and took a look. It turned out that her period had come. No wonder her stomach felt so uncomfortable.

She was changing her pants and putting something under her in the room when Ji Changyu suddenly pushed the door open and quickly chased him away.

"I've seen it everywhere." Ji Zhangyu paused, but finally respected her wishes and stretched out his hand.

"Give me the pants, I'll wash them for you."

Xu Yao didn't act pretentiously and handed it to him.

After changing her clothes, she lay on the bed like a shrimp, motionless.

Ji Changyu looked at her, frowned, with heartache in his eyes, and asked her if she wanted to drink brown sugar water.

Xu Yao shook her head and rolled into the other's arms.

"When you get up tomorrow morning, tell mom not to make Chinese medicine for me these few days."

You can’t take Chinese medicine during your period. Ji Changyu remembered what the doctor said and nodded obediently.

He found Xu Yao whimpering in his arms, with cold sweat on her forehead from the fan blowing on her. He hugged Xu Yao tightly and spoke anxiously.

"If it doesn't work, I'll take you to the hospital."

"Then you're going to accuse me of being hypocritical again."

Xu Yao didn't want to go. Going to the hospital would just get her some painkillers, which weren't good for her.

Generally, there will be some pain on the first day, but it will be fine afterwards.

Xu Yao pulled his warm big hand over, placed it on her lower abdomen, and patted him soothingly.

"Your hands are like thermos bottles, just warm them up for me."

Ji Changyu was silent for a while, took a deep breath, and said sincerely.

"If only I could do it for you."

Xu Yao burst out laughing, "It's not all bad. You can't touch me now, the people next door can't hear us."

"They can hear?!"

“…”

"Why didn't you say so earlier!"

Whenever he thought of the charming and seductive voice of his young wife, which was all heard by Deng Dawen, Ji Changyu's arms, which were hugging Xu Yao, became bulging with veins.

"Why be afraid? They can hear but they can't see."

Ji Changyu gritted his teeth and asked, "Are you a woman?"

Doesn't his wife have any sense of shame?
