Siheyuan: Being a fisherman in 1962

However, Chen Fei did not let Xu Damao go.

He walked up to Xu Damao and said coldly, "Xu Damao, it's getting late. You should go to the chicken coop."

Upon hearing this, Xu Damao's face suddenly changed.

He glared at Fade Chen, then turned to look at Qin Jingru, hoping that she could say a few good words for him.

Qin Jingru lowered her head and said nothing.

Nothing can be done.

Xu Damao's anger flared up again. He stood up suddenly, pointed at Chen Fei and cursed, "You, the new leader, don't think you can cover the sky with one hand! Let me tell you, I, Xu Damao, am not someone you can mess with!"

Chen Fei was not intimidated by Xu Damao's anger and said calmly: "You are wrong. I am not trying to cover up everything. I am just maintaining the harmony and stability of the Siheyuan."

At this moment, Sha Zhu suddenly stood up.

He walked between Xu Damao and Chen Fei and said, "Calm down, both of you. Damao, you did something wrong and you should be punished. But Leader Chen, don't go too far. We are all neighbors and we see each other every day. Why make things so awkward?"

Sha Zhu's mediation did not calm Xu Damao's anger, but made him feel even more insulted.

He stared at Fade Chen, hatred flashing in his eyes, as if he wanted to eat him alive.

Chen Fei was unmoved. He glanced at Xu Damao indifferently, then turned and walked towards the chicken coop.

Seeing this, Xu Damao's heart tightened. Did he really want him to live in that shabby chicken coop?

After a while, Chen Fei came back with a key in his hand.

He walked up to Xu Damao, handed him the key, and said coldly: "This is the key to the chicken coop, go there yourself."

Xu Damao was stunned. He didn't expect Chen Fei to be so heartless.

He took the key, glared at Fade Chen fiercely, then turned and left.

Looking at Xu Damao's departing back, Qin Jingru felt ashamed.

I sympathize with Xu Damao's experience, but I am also afraid that I will be implicated.

He looked at Chen Fei, then at Sha Zhu, his heart filled with hesitation.

At this moment, Qin Jingru suddenly felt nauseous, covered her mouth, and ran to the yard.

After a while, she came back and said palely: "I...I'm pregnant and can't live in the chicken coop."

Hearing this, Fade Chen frowned.

He looked at Qin Jingru, then at Sha Zhu and others, and thought to himself.

We can't just let it go like this, but we can't let Qin Jingru, a pregnant woman, live in a chicken coop.

Someone suddenly discovered that the chicken coop had collapsed due to heavy snow.

When Xu Damao heard this, he was overjoyed and pointed at the collapsed chicken coop and said, "Look, this chicken coop has collapsed. How can I live here?"

Chen Fei was unmoved and said calmly: "The chicken coop can be rebuilt if it collapses. You must live there."

Upon hearing this, Xu Damao suddenly became anxious.

Just as he was about to argue a few more words, he was interrupted by Chen Fei: "Xu Damao, don't think I don't know what you think. Did you collapse the chicken coop on purpose?"

When Chen Fei hit the nail on the head, Xu Damao's face suddenly changed.

Just as he was about to deny it, he was frightened by Fade Chen's look and dared not speak.

Amid the astonishment of the crowd, Fade Chen calmly directed: "Everyone, don't just stand there, help rebuild the chicken coop quickly, and don't let Xu Damao take advantage of the situation."

Sha Zhu, Qin Huairu and others took action immediately. Braving the heavy snow, they collected wood and tools from everywhere and began to busily build a new chicken coop.

Although Qin Jingru was pregnant, she couldn't help but wanted to help, but was dissuaded by Qin Huairu: "Jingru, don't be so stubborn, just rest at ease."

Standing aside, Xu Damao watched everyone busy at work. He originally thought that he could escape punishment with his cleverness, but he didn't expect that Chen Fei saw through him at a glance.

This time I'm really in trouble.

After a while, the new chicken coop was built.

Although it is simple, it is enough to shelter from wind and rain.

Fade Chen walked up to Xu Damao, stretched out his hand and said, "Hand over your house key and I'll take you in."

Xu Damao's face turned pale, and he had no way out.

He took the key tremblingly, then followed Fade Chen into the small chicken coop.

Looking at Xu Damao's back, Fade Chen said coldly: "Remember this, this is your punishment. Don't let me see you do anything out of line again, otherwise, I will never show mercy."

Xu Damao didn't say anything, but just squatted in the chicken coop silently, letting the cold wind blow on his face.

The lesson is profound, and he must pay the price for his actions.

The heavy snow was still falling, but everyone's hearts were gradually warming up.

As long as we are united, there will be no obstacles that we cannot overcome.

After a snowy night, the wind was blowing coldly. Xu Damao huddled up in the oilcloth tent, his cotton coat no longer able to withstand the biting cold.

His heart was filled with regret and resentment, but more of it was fear of Fade Chen.

All this is because of his selfishness and greed.

In the front yard, Qin Jingru sat alone by the fire, her face pale and her eyes empty.

Lou Xiao'e looked at her coldly from the side, and the atmosphere between the two was extremely awkward.

Qin Jingru tried to make a fire to keep warm, but her hands fiddled with the firewood clumsily and she couldn't get it to light.

Lou Xiao'e looked at Qin Jingru's clumsy appearance and couldn't help feeling contempt in her heart.

Thinking back to when she first came to this family, Qin Jingru's flattering and fawning attitude made her feel sick.

Now, seeing Qin Jingru's miserable appearance, he actually felt a little bit of pleasure in his heart.

At this moment, Qin Jingru suddenly found a towel. Without thinking much, she picked it up and wiped her face.

Seeing this, Lou Xiaoe burst out laughing: "Oh, Qin Jingru, you really know how to enjoy yourself. You actually use my foot towel to wash your face."

Upon hearing this, Qin Jingru was stunned.

Looking at the towel in his hand and then at Lou Xiao'e's mocking eyes, he felt humiliated.

I no longer have any status in this family and I can't even get the most basic respect.

Just then, Qin Huairu walked in.

Seeing that the atmosphere between Qin Jingru and Lou Xiao'e was not right, he immediately stepped forward to smooth things over: "Hey, we are all family, why bother about such a small matter? Jingru, don't take it too seriously. Xiao'e is just a bit of a talker, but she doesn't have any bad intentions."

Qin Jingru didn't say anything, but just lowered her head silently.

Sitting by the fireplace, Qin Jingru hugged herself with her arms, trying to resist the coldness coming from all directions.

Looking at Lou Xiao'e, a pleading look flashed in his eyes: "Xiao'e, can I sleep with you? It's too windy and snowy outside, I'm scared to be alone."

Lou Xiao'e sneered and rejected him mercilessly: "Qin Jingru, you really know how to behave. How did you treat me in the beginning? Now you want to beg me? I tell you, there is no way!"

Lou Xiao'e's words pierced her heart, and she knew that she no longer had a place in this family.

He lowered his head silently, tears welling up in his eyes.

Qin Huairu felt sorry for Qin Jingru when she saw her expression.

She sighed and said, "Don't be so stubborn. How can you endure such pain when you are pregnant? I will find a place for you to rest."
