I am doing well in the Siheyuan

When Xu's father learned that Xu Damao was arrested for hooliganism, he almost died of anger.

"Do you know how much dowry the Lou family prepared for Lou Xiao'e?"

Father Xu lowered his voice, his expression full of grief.

"The gold jewelry alone must weigh at least a hundred grams!"

Xu Damao's heart tightened. He did a rough calculation and found that in the 1960s, one gram of gold jewelry cost about ten yuan. If it was pure gold, the price would be as high as twenty yuan per gram. It was rare for ordinary families to see gold jewelry as dowry.

One hundred grams of gold jewelry is worth at least one thousand yuan.

A momentary impulse led to a disaster, not only losing both his money and his life, but also facing imprisonment.

Xu Damao has never felt so regretful in his life.

If Qin Jingru hadn't suddenly come to him, he wouldn't have made such a stupid mistake.

"Okay, now is not the time to talk about this, hurry up and think of a way to get him out."

"You're being a hooligan. So many people have seen you. How do you think you can save yourself? Don't you know the situation of Widow Qin's family? Why do you have to provoke them when you can provoke anyone else?"

"Dad, I know I was wrong. You must find a way to get me out. I don't want to go to jail, Dad."

"Now that you know you are wrong, why didn't you do anything earlier?"

Despite what he said, the Xu family only has this one child, so he must find a way to rescue him no matter what.

The two of them went to Lou's house first with cigarettes and alcohol, but as expected, they were turned away.

After what Xu Damao did, the relationship between the two families could no longer be repaired. It was good enough that they did not become enemies.

In desperation, Xu's father and mother came to the courtyard carrying two bags of cornmeal.

If Xu Damao wants to get a light sentence or be exempted from punishment, Qin Huairu's attitude is crucial.

Ever since what happened last night, the Jia family has been in chaos.

Yi Zhonghai asked for a leave of absence for Qin Huairu, and Qin Jingru took over the housework temporarily.

This matter was closely related to her, so naturally she did not dare to complain.

Qin Huairu had empty eyes and was in a depressed mood. She lay in bed all day.

I was thinking about Ye Ming, Jia Dongxu, and Bang Geng, and wondering how I would survive in the future.

My thoughts are in a whirlwind, but it seems as if the road ahead has been broken and disappeared.

Aunt Yi and the rain took care of her together.

Jia Zhang cursed Xu Damao all night long. She would rest when she was tired and continue scolding him when she woke up.

"Xu Damao's parents are here."

Someone in the yard shouted, but Yi Zhonghai was the first to step into the room.

Father Xu knew very well that the Jia family had no good impression of him at the moment, so he waited for the head of the courtyard to come back, and then came together to apologize.

Yi Zhonghai didn't want to get involved in their family's affairs, but after all, he was the boss of the courtyard, and if this farce continued, he would be the one who would be troubled in the end.

"Why are you still standing at the door? Come in."

Yi Zhonghai put his hands behind his back, glanced at Qin Huairu, and called out impatiently to the outside of the door.

However, as soon as Mr. Xu stepped over the threshold, he was pushed out by Jia Zhang, who suddenly became furious.

"Get lost! If you dare to take one step further, Mr. Xu, isn't your rebellious son's misfortune enough for us?"

Jia Zhang's words were sharp, and Xu's mother's face also turned gloomy. Although she was unwilling, she was in the wrong after all, and solving the problem was the first priority.

"Aunt Zhang, why are you so angry? We know Damao made a mistake, and we came here today to make amends and apologize."

Father Xu's attitude was extremely humble. He was holding two full bags of grain in his hands, which made Jia Zhang's expression ease a little.

But she is not going to be fooled so easily just by thinking this is enough to settle the matter.

"These are just our little gifts, we have no other intentions. Damao made a mistake, and as parents we are also to blame. We have to give an explanation, right?"

"An explanation? How are you going to explain to us? My poor daughter-in-law's reputation is ruined, her health is broken, and the family relies on her meager salary to survive. Now there is no hope.

I'm going to say this today, your little bastard will get his comeuppance sooner or later for doing such a wicked thing!"

The more Jia Zhang spoke, the more excited she became, and Xu's mother was not willing to give in easily.

However, before she could open her mouth to refute, she was pulled back by Xu's father.

For the sake of my son, I have to swallow my anger.

"Master Yi, you are the head of the hospital. How do you think we should handle this matter?"

"Handle it however you want. Even an honest judge cannot settle family disputes, not to mention that I'm not even an official." Yi Zhonghai knew that Father Xu's move was intended to divert his attention.

Maybe I could help out in the past, but now the more you say, the more mistakes you make. It’s not easy to be a good person.

"Mr. Xu, a woman's reputation is a big deal. Xu Damao did something like this, and you as a father have no choice but to take responsibility.

I think the wedding is almost ready, so why not let Damao marry Xiaoqin and live together."

"Nonsense!" Jia Zhang's eyes widened immediately upon hearing this.

Qin Huairu's remarriage means that she may have to live under someone else's roof.

As for Xu Damao, she knew him clearly. How could he be so kind as to accept a burden? At least the three children could be guaranteed food and clothing under the care of their mother.

Now she can still use Jia Dongxu's portrait to suppress Qin Huairu.

Once she remarries, who will care about her life or death?

This is a bad idea, even if Jia Zhangshi has no objection, Xu's father and mother cannot agree to it.

The Jia family is like a pit that can never be filled.

Who is Qin Huairu? A widow with three children.

With Xu Damao's conditions, it would not be difficult for him to find a virgin girl, so why would he take on the trouble of such a large family? He Yuzhu was dragged down by such a family.

How could Xu's father dare to get involved in such a matter easily?

"We are all neighbors who know each other well, so there is no need to hide our words. Damao made a mistake, and we admit it. Please come up with a solution and name a price."

Xu's mother couldn't stand continuing to suffer Jia Zhang's anger here. There were still many things that needed to be taken care of over there, and she really didn't have the time to waste here.

"Okay, since you're willing to take the responsibility, we've been neighbors for so many years, and I don't want our two families to get into a fight.

Five thousand dollars! As long as you can come up with this amount, the matter will be over."

"Five thousand? Why don't you just dig your heart out and show everyone how evil you are! You are obsessed with money, aren't you?"

He asked for five hundred right away, which not only stunned Xu's father and mother, but also surprised Yi Zhonghai.

This is not negotiation at all, this is clearly robbery!

"Not satisfied? Fine, let your unfilial son spend his whole life in jail. I wonder which girl would dare to marry a gangster. Sooner or later, your Xu family will be extinct!"

Jia Zhang was very aggressive, and every word she said hit the sore spot of Xu's father and mother.

If Qin Huairu insists on not giving in, Xu Damao's sentence may be unpredictable.

Once he is in jail, not only unmarried women but even widows will stay away from him.

"Five hundred is too much."

"Two hundred, then."
