Siheyuan: A journey of mountains and rivers

In Xu Damao's house in the backyard, Lou Xiao'e and Xu Damao were arguing about divorce.

He Yuzhu just came out of the house to digest his food.

When I turned around, I suddenly heard Xu Damao yelling and cursing.

He Yuzhu walked towards Xu Damao's yard.

"Xu Damao, what qualifications do you have to order me around here! I'm telling you, I, Lou Xiao'e, have already thought through the decision to divorce you this time. This time, I'm the one dumping you, not you dumping me!"

He Yuzhu heard the sound of pots and pans breaking and was about to turn around and leave.

He suddenly saw Lou Xiao'e and Xu Damao coming out fighting.

He saw that both of them had bruised faces and noses, and it seemed that the couple had fought over divorce.

Xu Damao was about to say something when he suddenly turned around and saw He Yuzhu here, and he immediately became unhappy.

"He Yuzhu, what are you doing at my door? Are you eavesdropping? What does our business have to do with you?"

"Xu Damao, please don't slander me. Do you think everyone is as idle as you and has the time to eavesdrop? I just happened to be passing by!"

He Yuzhu glared at Xu Damao fiercely, then turned around and prepared to leave.

"By the way, Xu Damao, I have to tell you one more thing. If you two can't make it on, then get a divorce. Do you think it's fun to have so much trouble here every day? Besides, how can a grown man like you, Xu Damao, hit a woman? Look at what Lou Xiao'e has become after you beat her!"

Xu Damao glared at He Yuzhu with dissatisfaction, but He Yuzhu didn't care. He turned around and prepared to go back.

"Hey, He Yuzhu, don't leave yet. You just have to testify for me today. I just want to get my dowry back. I want to divorce Xu Damao!"

He Yuzhu was stopped by Lou Xiaoe. At this time, other people also heard the noise here.

"Hey, Xu Damao, Lou Xiao'e, what are you two doing? Why are you so noisy so early in the morning? It's really noisy! Could it be that everyone else in the courtyard hasn't slept yet?"

Zhang Yuan also came over with sleepy eyes, and the others arrived one after another.

"What are you doing, Xu Damao? Lou Xiao'e, why did you move all the things at home into the yard? You two should just live a good life together, why are you quarreling here every day?"

An old man also put on his clothes and came out. He frowned when he saw Xu Damao's appearance.

He Yuzhu didn't want to get involved in these things.

But he remembered that Xu Damao was so arrogant yesterday, so he decided to embarrass Xu Damao and dampen his arrogance.

"Uncle, you're here just in time. Lou Xiao'e just said she wants to divorce Xu Damao and asked all of us to be her witnesses! It's a good opportunity for you to come. Please persuade Xu Damao to return Lou Xiao'e's dowry to her."

He Yuzhu said slowly, and Xu Damao on the side looked at him with eyes wide open.

"You little brat, I'm telling you, He Yuzhu, stop meddling in other people's business! It's not your turn to intervene in our affairs, so you should all go home!"

When Xu Damao saw a group of people gathered here, he immediately couldn't hold back his expression.

"Uncle, you are here just in time. Everyone is here too. Don't leave. I, Lou Xiao'e, have something to say today. I plan to divorce Xu Damao, but now Xu Damao refuses to return my dowry to me. Please, uncle, give me justice!"

Seeing Lou Xiao'e crying, everyone started whispering.

"He Yuzhu, look at this Lou Xiao'e, she is really pretty, just like a doll in a New Year picture. It's really a bargain for that bastard Xu Damao. Xu Damao is too good, he has such a beautiful wife but he still goes out to have affairs!"

Zhang Yuan, who was standing by, was so shocked by Lou Xiao'e's pitiful look that his eyes widened.

While Zhang Yuan was complaining about Xu Damao to He Yuzhu, he was staring at Lou Xiaoe.

He Yuzhu knew that Zhang Yuan's lustful habit had come back again, so he immediately reminded Zhang Yuan.

"Zhang Yuan, don't say so much for now. The purpose of our coming here today is to make Xu Damao lose face. Don't forget to follow my instructions later."

As the two were talking, Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e suddenly started arguing again.

"You stinky bitch, you called all these people here just to embarrass me, right? I'm telling you, you can divorce me if you want, but don't even think about taking any of my stuff with you, because all these things belong to our Xu family!"

The old man saw that the two people were getting more and more noisy and couldn't stand it anymore, so he immediately stepped forward to persuade them.

"Alright, alright, both of you stop arguing. As the saying goes, it's better to resolve a feud than to create one. You two have been together for so many years, how can you just divorce me like that?"

He Yuzhu knew that the old man was trying to smooth things over again, and he couldn't help but sigh.

His words angered Xu Damao, who glared at He Yuzhu with an angry look on his face.

"He Yuzhu, what did you mean by that tone just now? Do you think what the uncle said is wrong? Or do you have any improper thoughts about my wife Lou Xiao'e?"

Xu Damao immediately brought the conflict between the couple to He Yuzhu.

"Of course it's not Xu Damao. As far as I know, Lou Xiao'e wants to divorce you because you often have affairs outside. It's you who don't cherish such a beautiful wife. How can you slander her here?"

"Stop talking nonsense, He Yuzhu. When have I ever been unfaithful? I'm telling you, I, Xu Damao, am innocent and have always been an upright gentleman!"

Hearing Xu Damao say this, He Yuzhu was stunned. He didn't expect Xu Damao to be so thick-skinned.

When others heard Xu Damao's words, they immediately looked sideways.

Everyone knew what kind of person Xu Damao was, so what he said was useless.

On ordinary days, Xu Damao flirted with other women and had affairs with decent women, which was seen by everyone.

It’s just because of the power of Xu Damao’s father-in-law’s family that other people who know about it can only pretend not to know.

However, He Yuzhu must have evidence for these things, and he wants Xu Damao to get the retribution he deserves.

Although Lou Xiao'e and He Yuzhu are not familiar with each other on weekdays, he still adheres to the principle of helping whoever he can.

"Oh? You are a gentleman? Then Xu Damao, I want to ask you something. As long as you answer truthfully, I will admit that we have wronged you! Let's keep silent about this matter from now on!"

He Yuzhu smiled slightly, then looked at Xu Damao calmly.

Xu Damao obviously didn't know what He Yuzhu wanted to ask, so he looked up with a puzzled look.

"What's the matter? Why are you asking so many questions? Can I, Xu Damao, lie to you? Ask whatever you want to ask quickly. I'm still busy!"
