"Lou Xiao'e! You still have the mind to read?"
"What's wrong?" Lou Xiao'e looked at her husband with a puzzled expression.
"What's wrong? What's wrong? I'm asking you, did you give Wang Shouren an apple?"
Lou Xiao'e narrowed her eyes slightly, looking at the panting Xu Damao: "Heh, Xu Damao, you've gotten quite bold, haven't you? Do I need to report to you who I give things to? Who in this courtyard haven't I given things to?"
"You can give it to anyone else, just not him!"
Lou Xiao'e suppressed her anger, her voice trembling slightly: "Xu Damao, what do you mean?"
"What do I mean?" Xu Damao pointed at his own nose, slammed his hand on the table, and then pointed at Lou Xiao'e: "You should ask yourself what you mean! Do you think things are still the same as before? Do you think I still have to coax you? What use is a hen like you that can't even lay eggs! Let me tell you, Lou Xiao'e, if you don't bring out three big yellow croakers today, this isn't over!"
"You bastard!" Lou Xiao'e cried out, got up and rushed towards Xu Damao.
To be honest, Xu Damao's health is really bad. Logically speaking, someone who works in the countryside for years should be in pretty good physical condition. Unfortunately, his lust has completely ruined it.
Before you know it, Lou Xiao'e has scratched you.
A commotion erupted in the yard as chickens and dogs scattered.
Everyone's used to it.
In this backyard, there are only two families who are always fighting.
One family belonged to Second Uncle. It was just like the old saying: "Beating children on a rainy day, since you're bored anyway." Second Uncle would beat Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu whenever he was happy, whenever he was unhappy, and even when he was just bored. It's a miracle these two brothers are still alive.
The other family is Xu Damao's family.
These two usually fight behind closed doors, and as for the reasons, there are different versions of the story. Some say that Lou Xiao'e's family looks down on Xu Damao, while others say it's because Xu Damao dislikes Lou Xiao'e for not being able to have children.
Even an upright official finds it difficult to settle family disputes. Besides, the two were evenly matched in their fight, so few people intervened.
But something seems off today.
Xu Damao ran out of the house in a disheveled state, shouting into the house, "If you've got the guts, then don't give it to me! You just wait!"
After saying that, he walked away angrily.
Inside, Lou Xiao'e, seeing the mess, felt a surge of anger and hurriedly grabbed her tools and left. Xu Damao, seeing this, immediately chickened out and ran away without a word.
When Wang Shouren returned, he saw Xu Damao running away in a hurry, with scratches from Lou Xiao'e on his face, and couldn't help but laugh.
However, when he saw Lou Xiao'e holding a broom with a cold expression, he couldn't laugh anymore.
"Wang Shouren, you're something else!" Lou Xiao'e said fiercely, walked to his side, and whispered in his ear, "You'd better sleep with your eyes open tonight."
Oh no! That woman found out!
Wang Shouren's heart skipped a beat.
After saying that, he didn't chase after Xu Damao anymore and went back angrily.
Not many people came out to watch the excitement; it was a bit late, and most people were having dinner.
Wang Shouren's dinners were relatively simple. Most of the time, he would eat at the factory canteen before coming home, mainly because he lived alone and cooking was quite a hassle. Occasionally, on weekends, he would cook himself a nice meal at home.
He took off his belongings, placed them on the table, took a ticket, and went out.
He planned to get a scrub; it was the middle of summer, and he felt a bit uncomfortable all over. Tomorrow was a day off, so today was a good opportunity to relax.
After easily and pleasantly resolving my personal issues, I returned home and was startled to find someone sitting there.
Lou Xiao'e looked at him with a cold smile: "Fine, Xiao Wang, you've got your eye on me today?"
"Sister E, what are you doing? You scared me! Besides, I don't have any thoughts about you at all." Wang Shouren scratched his head, looking honest and simple.
"Don't make that face at me, it's disgusting. Did you make that face when Qin Huairu was in your room?"
"Heh...hehe." Wang Shouren didn't reply, and put down his tools while saying, "Sister E, you really can't blame me for this. Sister Qin said she would introduce me to someone. Guess what, when I came back today, Xu Damao was talking badly about the person Sister Qin was going to introduce me to."
"You know, there's no reason for him to offend me like this, so there's only one explanation left. He's got his eye on my future boyfriend, right?"
Upon hearing Wang Shouren's words, Lou Xiao'e's expression became uncertain.
Xu Damao is getting bolder and bolder.
The bolder Xu Damao became, the more serious the situation became.
When they first got married, Xu Damao was an exemplary husband, always home on time to cook and do housework, never letting Lou Xiao'e do anything. As time went on, however, he became increasingly unreasonable. It wasn't that he completely abandoned his wife; he outwardly maintained respect for Lou Xiao'e, but in reality, he had affairs with various other women.
As husband and wife, Lou Xiao'e was naturally aware of this.
From that day on, Lou Xiao'e gave up on Xu Damao.
What could Lou Xiao'e do in this situation? She could only turn a blind eye.
But today, Xu Damao dares to flirt with young girls right outside his house. This means that his father's control over him is about to disappear.
Lou Xiao'e's mind raced for a moment, and she said coldly, "Then you deal with him and tell him that you'll let him off this time because of me?"
Do I need to expose your little schemes?
Wang Shouren: ...
Good grief, who said Lou Xiao'e is love-struck? Step forward!
Is this person just love-struck?
"What are you standing there for! Come here and pour me some wine! I'm staying here today, I'm not going home!" Lou Xiao'e narrowed her eyes: "If I get discovered tomorrow, then we're all finished!"
Wang Shouren: ...
Okay, this girl is definitely a love-obsessed person, or more accurately, a love-obsessed person who has seen through the ways of the world but still chooses to be in love.
Wang Shouren walked over and stood in front of her.
"Pour the wine! What are you standing there for? Ugh! What are you doing!"
Wang Shouren squatted down and directly hugged Lou Xiao'e to his chest.
She said softly, "What's so good about Xu Damao? He's just a bastard."
"You bastard! Let me go! You..."
The night was bright and the stars were few. Lou Xiao'e never expected that her plan to numb herself with alcohol and then enjoy herself would be thwarted by Wang Shouren from the very beginning.
In a state of absolute lucidity, she felt as if she had seen a deity.
