Siheyuan: Fighting against the beasts under the pressure of the system

Yan Fugui smiled awkwardly and began to speak.

"Hey, Minghui, Uncle San is not that kind of person. He adds water to liquor because the alcohol content is too high and it is not good for your health. That's why he adds some water."

Thinking of Yan Fugui's performance during this period, Zhang Minghui's smile became even brighter.

"Mr. Yan, Mr. Yan, I didn't expect you to be afraid sometimes. I thought you would rather sacrifice your life than your money!"

Yan Fugui walked up to Zhang Minghui and talked to him. Only then did Zhang Minghui understand why Yan Fugui was so excited.

"Minghui, you don't know. You were not in the courtyard today. The courtyard was very busy. Xu Damao was beaten by Sha Zhu. Later, he had a fight with his wife and they are getting a divorce!"

Yu Li has been married to Xu Damao for quite some time, but she has never had any children.

When they first got married, Xu Damao didn't think too much about it. He was assigned to a branch factory and lived apart from Yu Li, thinking that it was because they were apart more often than together.

After Xu Damao had established himself in the branch factory, he brought Yu Li to live there. After a year or two, conflicts arose between the two.

Because Yu Li had no children, Xu Damao either beat or scolded her when he got home, saying that Yu Li was a hen that didn't lay eggs. Yu Li, whose personality had gradually matured, could only cry silently.

She couldn't refute it.

Nowadays, ordinary people still hold on to the old traditional saying that it is the woman's fault if she cannot have children.

But someone quit. Who is it?

It’s Yu Li’s younger sister Yu Haitang.

This little girl, although young, has very positive ideas. The food at Xu Damao's house is much better than her own, so Yu Haitang often comes to Yu Li's house to play.

Xu Damao was of course attracted by the beautiful young girl, especially since she was his sister-in-law. Xu Damao was also very kind to Haitang, and he would prepare delicious food for her every time she came over.

This is not the first or second time Xu Damao and Yu Li have quarreled.

Yu Haitang didn’t notice it at first, but later when she found out it was because her sister couldn’t have children, she went back to school and asked the teacher.

The teacher enthusiastically explained to her the various reasons why she could not have children.

It can be summed up in one sentence.

"Having a baby is not a one-person issue. Both people need to go for a physical examination."

Yu Haitang encouraged Yu Li to go to the hospital for a checkup, which proved that Yu Li had no problems. The two sisters finally stood up straight and went home to throw the test results in Xu Damao's face.

Let Xu Damao go to the hospital for a check-up.

How could Xu Damao go for a check-up? If he went for a check-up, wouldn’t it prove that there was something wrong with his health?

I had a big argument with Yu Li and her sister about the inspection.

When Xu Damao and his wife moved back to the courtyard, Xu's mother and Xu Fugui also came several times to ask about the child. It had been several years, and Xu Damao still had no children.

The old couple were anxious.

“There are three types of unfilial piety, the greatest of which is not having an offspring.”

After Xu Damao felt the pressure, he secretly went to the hospital for a checkup. The checkup did reveal some problems. The doctor told him that his sperm activity was low because of the damage to his lower body.

Having a child was almost impossible.

This news was like a bolt from the blue, and Xu Damao was almost devastated. He sat in the corridor of the hospital, unable to recover for a long time.

After returning home, she started taking Chinese medicine according to the hospital's instructions. Yu Li and Xu Damao have lived together for so many years and have a relationship with each other.

I also hope that Xu Damao can recover soon.

It's a pity that the tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop!

The fact that Xu Damao was taking Chinese medicine was discovered by Sha Zhu, and Sha Zhu was worried that he had no good way to deal with Xu Damao!

Xu Damao's grandson has now become the leader of the factory.

This incident upset Sha Zhu a lot. Because of his serious offense, it was impossible for him to become the director. He was able to become the canteen chef because of his superb cooking skills.

Seeing Xu Damao's status in the factory rising rapidly, Sha Zhu felt uncomfortable.

Doesn’t this put me below par?

The two had been competing with each other since childhood, and they compared themselves in everything. Work, marriage, and status in the factory. It was a well-known fact that the two of them were at loggerheads in the courtyard and the factory.

After Sha Zhu got divorced, Xu Damao got back on track. He married Yu Li and often showed off in front of He Yuzhu.

The implication was that Sha Zhu would be single for the rest of his life. Like Yi Zhonghai, he would be a bachelor without a family. Sha Zhu was so angry that he flew into a rage and started a fight with Xu Damao.

When Xu Damao was sent to the branch factory, Sha Zhu was very excited. He didn't even need to say much. He just glanced at Xu Damao from bottom to top and made Xu Damao very angry.

Xu Damao knew that Sha Zhu was looking down on him and was sent to a branch factory. His future was gone.

Because of this incident, Xu Damao suffered from insomnia for a long time. After he arrived at the branch factory for a while, he could still clearly remember Sha Zhu's contemptuous look.

.....

In the evening, not long after Zhang Minghui was discharged from the hospital, Xu Damao came in from the corridor, carrying large and small bags of Chinese medicine and pushing his bicycle.

As soon as he arrived at the central courtyard, he was discovered by the sharp-eyed Sha Zhu.

Sha Zhu's eyes rolled and an idea came to him. After watching Xu Damao for so long, he knew that Xu Damao was taking Chinese medicine and recuperating. He had to find a way to embarrass him today.

The neighbors also speculated about this matter. Since she hasn't had a child for several years, there must be something wrong with her health!

But Xu Damao became the factory leader, so no one dared to speak out openly, fearing that they would offend Xu Damao and make things difficult for their men.

Sha Zhu dropped the basin in his hand and shouted loudly.

"Comrade Xu Damao, I heard that you are not in good health and have not been able to have children for several years. What's the matter? Do you need your master Zhu to help you?"

"We have lived in the same courtyard for so long. I can't bear to see you, Xu Damao, die without any descendants. If you die without any descendants, your Xu family will be extinct as well."

Wow, the aunties and aunties who were washing vegetables laughed out loud, and the two of them were playing their daily jokes again. But what Sha Zhu said today was too hurtful, didn't it hurt people's lungs?

The aunts and sisters were whispering to each other and looking at Xu Damao's lower body from time to time.

This made Xu Damao embarrassed, his face turned red, but he couldn't just leave like that. If he left without saying anything back, he didn't know what the neighbors in the yard would think of him!

If word gets out that Xu Damao is infertile, wouldn't his reputation be ruined?

Xu Damao stopped his bike and thought about how to fight back. After a few seconds, Xu Damao had an idea. He opened his mouth and spoke.

"Silly Zhu, I bought the Chinese medicine for my wife so that she can take care of her body. When she is well, she will naturally have a child. It will be her own child."

"Who is like you, silly Zhu? Your good wife is asking for a divorce. You flatter the widow and come to her door to help her family."
