Siheyuan: This is really immoral

As for why he cooperated with Director Li, Lin Zhuang felt that there was no other way. The storm was too big and could not be changed by personal factors. The only way was to protect himself.

Director Li has both background and ability, so there is nothing wrong with cooperating with him for a short period of time now.

Lin Zhuang was delayed like this, and he didn't have the heart to fish anymore. After leaving the steel mill, he went to a place on the street that specializes in renting houses. He asked the person in charge for a small house with a courtyard, and the price was negotiable.

Seeing that Linzhuang was a big customer, the man said respectfully: "Okay, comrade, come and see the house tomorrow afternoon."

After that, he wrote a note and asked Lin Zhuang to pay a deposit of one yuan.

Lin Zhuang was not surprised at all. The deposit was to prevent them from being cheated, and signing a note was normal.

Lin Zhuang was delighted thinking that he would now have a permanent place to stay in the future, and he rode his bike happily to the gate of the courtyard.

Just as he reached the door, he saw Xu Damao pushing a bicycle out. Lin Zhuang took the initiative to greet him:

"Da Mao, what are you doing?"

Xu Damao scratched his head with a sly look in his eyes, and said evasively: "Xiao'e misses her parents. She has been home for several days. I will go and pick her up."

Lin Zhuang smiled secretly. He still missed his parents? Family disgrace should not be made public, right? Lin Zhuang didn't know whether Lou Xiao'e had gone to the hospital. If she had, he would probably divorce her sooner or later after the results came out.

Lin Zhuang said kindly, "Then go quickly. Why are you going empty-handed? Don't you, Xiao'e, like abdominal muscles?"

This left Xu Damao confused.

"Abdominal muscles? What are abdominal muscles? Xiao'e never told me about them."

"It looks like a breed of chicken, right? I have something else to do and need to go home. I'll go in first and won't keep you any longer."

Guessing that Xu Damao didn't understand at first, Lin Zhuang also changed the subject in due course.

Lin Zhuang took a nap as soon as he got home, planning to call Qin Huairu to get some things at noon.

……

The Lou family at this time.

Lou Bancheng sat on the sofa, fatigue visible on his face. After a few days of running around and making inquiries, coupled with his intuition, he confirmed that the news from Linzhuang was reliable.

During the call with Director Yang, he directly asked about Lin Zhuang's identity, but Director Yang did not know the specific situation. He only knew that Lin Zhuang's father was a martyr, and the pig last time might be his father's comrade-in-arms who was a high-ranking leader in the army.

Lou Bancheng called Lou Xiaoe out of the room and asked with concern: "When will the results of the last checkup at the hospital be released?"

Lou Xiao'e was obviously in a bad state because of this incident, and she was in a depressed tone when she heard Lou's father's words.

"The results will be out the day after tomorrow, Dad. I'm worried that it's me..."

Father Lou interrupted Lou Xiao'e and didn't let her finish her words.

"My daughter of the Lou family should be more confident. Even if it's really your fault, so what? So what if we're divorced? No matter how poor my Lou family is, we will never be unable to support our daughter!"

Although Lou's mother is relatively traditional, she has nothing to say about her daughter, so she just nodded silently to support Lou Bancheng's words.

Lou Bancheng's confident and domineering words shocked Lou Xiao'e all over. The rules and regulations that shrouded her body and mind in the current environment seemed to be shattered at this moment.

There was also the unique temperament of a young lady in her eyes.

Lou Bancheng finally felt relieved after seeing the change in his daughter's condition, and continued to say to Lou Xiao'e:

"When your test results come out, if you have time this week, ask Lin Zhuang to come over for dinner."

"Xiao'e, I'm here to take you home!"

Just as Lou Xiao'e was about to agree, she heard Xu Damao's call. Lou's father gave Lou Xiao'e a look, signaling her not to say anything more.

Xu Damao walked in clumsily, nodding and bowing to Lou's father in a flattering manner.

"Dad, are you home?"

Then he sat down on Lou Xiao'e's sofa. While looking at Lou's father, he didn't notice that Lou Xiao'e moved her butt a little to the side and had a look of disgust.

Father Lou snorted coldly when he saw Xu Damao's dishonest behavior.

"Da Mao, I heard from Xiao'e that you bullied her?"

Xu Damao, the monkey-like man, immediately smiled and said, "I didn't control my emotions well. I said something a little harsh that day. I promise to be more careful next time."

Then he immediately looked at Lou Xiao'e with what he thought was a loving look in his eyes: "Xiao'e, I know I was wrong, please forgive me, and I promise to change next time."

Fortunately, there is no adjective called "greasy" now, otherwise Lou Xiao'e would definitely put this word on Xu Damao's head.

Lou Xiao'e felt disgusted when she saw her like this. How dare she say that she was a chicken that doesn't lay eggs!

In the end, Lou Xiao'e and Xu Damao had lunch at Lou's house and then returned to the courtyard. They had to remain silent until the hospital came out with the results.

Siheyuan.

Lin Zhuang slept until noon. When he opened the door, he saw Xiao Dang playing in the yard. He called Xiao Dang over and whispered in her ear:

"Xiaodang, go home and ask your mother to come to my house to get something."

When Xiaodang heard this, he ran home. Qin Huairu was making shoes for Lin Zhuang when she heard Xiaodang running up to her and pulling her aside, saying:

"Mom, Uncle Lin, the nice guy in the front yard, asked you to go over and get something."

Qin Huairu felt sweet in her heart. Lin Zhuang would not forget her. She stood up, tidied her hair and clothes carefully, and took Xiao Dang's hand to go to Lin Zhuang's house.

Now he didn't even knock on the door, he just came in, his eyes were on Lin Zhuang. But considering that they were in the courtyard, he was still very restrained.

Lin Zhuang packed the rice, flour and eggs he had just prepared and gave them to Qin Huairu, telling her to eat them for the next two days and to buy meat after moving to the new place.

"Xiaodang, go play. Your mother and I have something to discuss. I'll make you something delicious for lunch."

Linzhuang was worried that the child might say something he didn't care about, so he let Xiaodang play in the yard.

After Xiao Dang left, he pulled Qin Huairu into the inner room and held her in his arms. After a long time of intimacy, he asked her: "How is the divorce going?"

Qin Huairu had completely let go of many things. When she heard the question asked by Lin Zhuang, she took the initiative to kiss Lin Zhuang and said coquettishly: "Don't worry, everything has been done this morning. Now it's just that Jia Zhang is in prison, and Bang Geng's household registration has not been settled yet."

Lin Zhuang was very satisfied with Qin Huairu's performance. Thinking of Qin Huairu's question, he pondered for a moment and said:

"I'll take you to the prison on my bike this afternoon. You can visit her as a family member and then say something like this... to anger her, and then... she will accept that you and Xiaodang will move out, leaving only her and Banggeng."

Qin Huairu took note of it carefully and asked when they would move out.

"Just in the next two days. I've already asked about the house and we can go and see it tomorrow. You don't have to go and see this one. I'll find a nice place."

Qin Huairu had nothing to ask for anymore. In fact, she was already satisfied to be able to live in the city and not have to worry about food and clothing. After escaping from the deep pit of the Jia family, Qin Huairu just felt relieved.

Banggeng, the only one who was a little worried, has now figured it out. Banggeng will not take care of her in her old age anyway, and because of Jia Zhang's long-term instigation, he has not really treated her as a mother.

What's there to worry about?

As she held him, Qin Huairu sensed the movement in Linzhuang again...
