Siheyuan: Rebirth 54 years ago, neighbor is stupid

"It's time to eat, it's time to eat."

Seeing the strange atmosphere in the ward, Xu Damao walked in with his lunch box, followed by old man Xu Jingshan.

Ding Qiunan turned her head away, not wanting others to see her crying.

Li Zhenmin was about to say something when Xu Jingshan spoke up, "Why are you young people so desperate? What else can you do now that things have happened? You blame yourself, she blames herself, you can't live like this any longer."

"Ding Xiaowa, I really don't think you need to do this. You're really overthinking it. You'll lead many people astray."

"Don't you think about your status? Can your little trouble affect the Yuan family? You really think too highly of yourself."

The first thing he said was the old-fashioned way of comforting, straight to the point, without any beating around the bush.

Li Zhenmin thought this was strange and nodded: "This matter should have nothing to do with you. Your business is your business, and the Yuan family's business is the Yuan family's business. This matter cannot be handled by ordinary people, and ordinary people will not go to such lengths just to think that you want to kill the Yuan family and me. There is no reason."

"But..." Ding Qiunan wanted to say something.

Xu Jingshan said impatiently: "But bullshit, why don't you listen to advice? I said I have nothing to do with you, why are you still forcing yourself to take responsibility? Do you know what happened to the Yuan family?"

"If you were a truck carrying dozens of tons, would you deliberately travel hundreds of miles to transport a brick?"

"Isn't this something only a fool would do?"

"Your so-called suitor is at least a person of status, most likely a second-generation rich man. You come from a grassroots background, and you don't understand the mindset of such a person at all."

"Don't blame me for speaking harshly. The decent people among them won't sue a small fry like you, and the poor ones are just attracted to you. In their eyes, beautiful women are everywhere in the world, and those of you without background are just like the delicacies in a restaurant."

"They just want to try something new. Do you think they would go to so much trouble to make a dish?"

"They won't survive without you, right?"

"They are targeting Li Zhenmin for you. What is Li Zhenmin's status? He is a grade-8 worker who has been on the People's Daily. He is a favorite of the leaders of the subdistrict office, the police station, and the power bureau. Li Huaide's father-in-law, Wang Fuhai, has suffered losses in front of him."

"A guy like this, a second-generation kid who hasn't even grown all his hair yet, is going to mess with him just for you? Is there something wrong with his brain?"

"He has a problem with his brain, but does his father have a problem too? If he wants to cause trouble, he must use his father's resources, right? Doesn't his father join in the fun? Don't you see what the social atmosphere is like now? Nowadays, anyone with status behaves in a timid manner, and the higher the official position, the more cautious they are."

"Your master is not someone that ordinary people can handle."

"The Yuan family had its own problems. It's not like someone wants to mess with your master so they mess with the Yuan family. And it's even less likely that someone will mess with your master because of you. But you have to understand this logic."

Xu Jingshan said a lot in a row.

The whole process revolves around this theme, that is, you, Ding Qiunan, are not worthy of being used as a bargaining chip for others to deal with Li Zhenmin and the Yuan family. This is the most basic logic.

In the past, perhaps the second generation might do such a thing on a whim, but as soon as they did it, someone would find out, and the news would soon reach Li Zhenmin's ears, and the final result would most likely be failure.

What's more, with the current social atmosphere, the second generation are all under the watchful eyes of their families, so they can't get excited at all.

Moreover, even if someone enters a medical research institute to gain experience, how could he be a second-generation powerful person?

Those who are capable and serious are all in politics, so who would bother to get medical qualifications?

Besides, Ding Qiunan is already this old, already 28 or 29 years old, how could the institute choose a man younger than her? At this age, she is still trying to get experience, what kind of family background can she have?

"Don't think too much about it. I'll go to your research institute later to see who spread the rumors and who thinks death is too slow."

Xu Jingshan waved and left the ward. He stopped at the door and turned back to say, "Smelly boy, move out quickly after you're done here. I need to move in first, otherwise I won't be able to move in with your grandma Liu in a couple of days."

Li Zhenmin said disapprovingly: "It's not like you're going to do the moving yourself, you can just call a car and ask someone to move it over."

Xu Jingshan raised his eyebrows and cursed, "You didn't give me the key, so I didn't have to go and tear down your door. And you really made an old man run up and down the whole time."

Li Zhenmin waved his hand: "I know, I know. I'll come find you later."

Xu Jingshan didn't say anything more. After making the agreement, he turned around and left the ward.

Ding Qiunan and Xu Damao saw all of this. Although they knew that the old and the young had a good relationship, they did not expect it to be this good.

"Master...Old Xu is going to move in with you? And who is Grandma Liu?"

Xu Damao asked doubtfully.

Li Zhenmin said impatiently: "Why do you have so many questions? If you have time, move over there. Then you will know everything. Anyway, I live alone there now, and there are plenty of rooms."

He suddenly remembered something and said, "Qiu Nan, when you feel better, you can move to my place, then find a job and take a break from your research."

Xu Damao nodded repeatedly upon hearing this: "Yes, yes, Qiunan, you should move to Master's place. You have nowhere to live after you stop working at the institute. Going to Master's place will save you from having to worry about the people in your family bothering you all the time."

Ding Qiunan wanted to say something, but Li Zhenmin stood up and said, "Don't refuse yet. Think about it. I'm going to help Xu Laoye move first. If you have any problems, just tell Xu Damao. He has become more stable over the years and won't cause any trouble for you."

After saying that, he turned and left the ward, leaving Xu Damao and Ding Qiunan alone.

Ding Qiunan looked at Xu Damao's slightly restrained expression and seemed to understand why Li Zhenmin left.

"Xu Damao."

"Hey, hey, hey, go ahead."

Ding Qiunan called out softly, and Xu Damao immediately forced a smile.

Ding Qiunan paused for a long time, then slowly said, "Let's get married."

"Ah?" Xu Damao didn't react for a moment.

Ding Qiunan continued softly, "I want to leave that home. Can you help me? I really have nowhere to go. Am I a failure?"

Xu Damao felt an indescribable feeling in his heart, and said with mixed feelings: "Master is divorced now and is single..."

Ding Qiunan shook her head: "It's impossible for him and I to be together. He won't agree. I know him. He will wait for Sister Qinghe to come back. And even if he wants to remarry, it won't be to me."

She said it decisively.

Li Zhenmin didn't say that he definitely wouldn't like her, but there were moral constraints there. Because she understood her master, and she thought so too, she couldn't get over that hurdle.

If the two of them get together and get married in the future, what will people around them say?

Others would say that Ding Qiunan was a bitch who destroyed other people's marriages and took advantage of opportunities to get promoted. Li Zhenmin would not let her bear such rumors, and she would not embarrass Li Zhenmin. This meant that the two of them could not be together no matter what.

There was silence in the ward.

Xu Damao thought a lot and finally smiled with relief: "Then let's find a time to get married. Let's not hold a banquet or anything like that. I don't like crowds. We won't notify Master, Shazhu and Jiecheng anymore. I'm a little excited to think about getting married in secret."

Ding Qiunan looked at the man in front of her and felt very guilty: "I'm sorry..."

Xu Damao smiled and said, "I can't have children anyway, so it doesn't matter who I marry. Besides, what if we really develop feelings for each other, and by then medical science has made a breakthrough that can cure my physical illness? Then I'd have gotten a wife for free, haha."

Ding Qiunan didn't say anything, just nodded.

Although she felt sorry for Xu Damao, compared to marrying someone else, fake marriage with Xu Damao was her only choice now.

She believed that Xu Damao would not force her, and at the same time she would not restrict any of Xu Damao's behavior outside. If Xu Damao found someone he really liked in the future, the two of them would divorce secretly. All she wanted was to get through the current dangerous period and get rid of that family.

As for what I owe Xu Damao, I’ll find a way to make it up to him later.
