Xu Damao had a very ordinary time during this period. Since Lou Xiao'e went back to the courtyard to get something last time, she saw him entangled with Qin Huairu.

She went back to her parents' home once and never returned to the courtyard again. During this period, she also sent several messages to Xu Damao, asking him to go with her to go through the divorce procedures.

But Xu Damao always turned a deaf ear to what others said and ignored Lou Xiaoe's requests at all.

He had thought this matter through clearly. Lou Xiao'e had taken all the valuables in the house back to her parents' home, so he couldn't agree to a divorce so easily.

In Xu Damao's opinion, he was in this situation anyway. Once divorced, he would not only lose his wife Lou Xiao'e, but also lose the valuable belongings that were taken away.

Given his current condition and physical condition, it is hard to say whether he can find a wife in the future, so it is better to just drag it on like this.

He figured that as long as he dragged on with the divorce, Lou Xiao'e might soften her heart sooner or later and might even come back with the things.

At worst, if she is really anxious to divorce, I have to wait until she returns to the courtyard and I can settle accounts with her and divide the property clearly.

He had previously paid fifty yuan in compensation to the Jia family, so he had very little money left. It was not until he finally got his salary that he gradually became well off.

In addition, after several trips to the countryside, the harvests were good, and life was finally no longer difficult. At the very least, I no longer had to worry about food and drink.

This is human nature. When people are well fed and well clothed, they will think about that. Xu Damao is no exception.

When he woke up in the middle of the night, what he thought about most was Lou Xiao'e's former cute and innocent appearance. Not only that, he could also think of Qin Huairu's plump figure from time to time.

If the accident had not happened that day, he would have succeeded. When Xu Damao thought of this, he felt extremely regretful.

As the saying goes, what you can't get is always in turmoil.

In his opinion, Qin Huairu's unique charm made it difficult for him to give up. When he thought of her red face and messy hair, Xu Damao felt distracted.

It’s a pity that the Jia family has been in trouble one after another during this period. Qin Huairu has been running between the hospital and home, and she is so busy that she is almost exhausted and is hardly seen.

Xu Damao knew that he had financial problems during this period. He also knew that the Jia family had a lot of things going on during this period, so naturally he didn't dare to come forward.

He was afraid that Qin Huairu would use him as a scapegoat and order him to contribute money and effort, which would not be worth it.

But now, seeing Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu right under his nose, talking and laughing, and appearing to be extremely close, Xu Damao felt very uncomfortable inside.

As soon as he returned to the yard, he saw Yan Bugui fiddling with something, and Yan Bugui saw that Xu Damao had nothing on the car except a bag hanging on the front of the car.

She just glanced at him, nodded at him, and lowered her head to fiddle with her things, not even bothering to say a word to him.

Xu Damao felt even more uncomfortable with Yan Bugui's cold attitude. He watched Yan Bugui continue to fiddle with things.

It was as if Xu Damao was a transparent person, and a feeling of humiliation of being ignored surged in his heart.

He glared at Yan Bugui fiercely, but was helpless. Xu Damao knew clearly that his status in the courtyard was not as good as before.

Ever since the conflict with Lou Xiao'e, his life has become a mess, and the financial difficulties have made him lose his former prestige.

In addition, the gifts given to him by the commune during his recent visits to the countryside were not much, so he was reluctant to share some with Yan Bugui.

After a few times, Yan Bugui saw that he could not get any benefit from Xu Damao, so it was inevitable that he gradually ignored him.

Xu Damao suppressed his frustration of being ignored and continued to push his bicycle back towards the courtyard. When he arrived at the middle courtyard, he saw Sha Zhu's wife sitting at the door picking vegetables.

This pretty young wife has always been the one that caught his eye, but because of that kid Sha Zhu who always threatens and throws punches at people, he hasn't dared to take a close look at Lingzi for a long time.

Seeing that she was concentrating on the cabbage in her hand, he simply stopped and stood there to look at her.

Lingzi seemed to sense a malicious gaze and raised her head suddenly, just in time to meet Xu Damao's unscrupulous eyes.

She frowned, and a trace of disgust flashed in her eyes: "Xu Damao, what are you looking at!" Lingzi said in a bad tone.

After being yelled at by Lingzi, Xu Damao suddenly felt a little uneasy. His heartbeat quickened involuntarily and a feeling of embarrassment as if he had been caught surged in his heart.

He didn't want to lose in terms of momentum, so he smiled stubbornly and said, "What's wrong with taking a look? It won't cost you a piece of meat. Besides, if you are good-looking, why shouldn't you let others look at you?"

There was a hint of cunning in his smile, and he tried to cover up his guilty conscience with such frivolous words.

Lingzi snorted coldly and rolled her eyes at Xu Damao: "Stop being a hooligan here, believe it or not, I will tell Sha Zhu to deal with you."

When it comes to Sha Zhu, Xu Damao's arrogance suddenly diminished. He knew that Sha Zhu was a ruthless guy, and if he really pissed him off, he would be in trouble.

It would have been fine if Lingzi hadn't mentioned Shazhu. As soon as she mentioned Xu Damao, she immediately thought of the scene she had just seen and quickly said, "No, no, no, I won't watch it anymore."

"But Lingzi, I advise you to be careful. Shazhu is not an easy guy to deal with. He has a good relationship with Qin Huairu."

Unexpectedly, Lingzi not only did not listen to Xu Damao's words, but also showed a trace of anger on her face: "Xu Damao, don't talk nonsense here."

"I know exactly who Zhuzi is. He and Qin Huairu are just neighbors. He just saw that her family was not easy to help."

"You are not self-disciplined yourself, and you want to slander others." Lingzi's words were like a sharp sword, piercing Xu Damao's vital points.

Xu Damao was rendered speechless by Lingzi's words. His face turned pale and blue. He knew he could not gain the upper hand with words, so he pushed his bicycle and prepared to leave in disappointment.

"Hmph, you don't know how to appreciate a good person. Just wait and see. Don't blame me for not reminding you in advance." Xu Damao muttered and stopped after taking two steps.

Looking at Lingzi, he said, "I just saw your Shazhu and Qin Huairu together on the street. They were talking and laughing, and they were so close."

Lingzi didn't believe him at all. She rolled her eyes at him and said, "Just make it up, Xu Damao. I tell you, I don't believe a word you say."

"Humph, just keep talking tough. By the time you find out, it will be too late."

Seeing this, Xu Damao had no choice but to push his bicycle away slowly and unwillingly, looking back at Lingzi as he walked, as if waiting to see her regretful look.

After selecting the vegetables, Lingzi sat quietly by the door, enjoying the warm sunshine.

During this period of time since she came back from her mother's house, she always felt that the relationship between her and Sha Zhu was different from before, but she couldn't tell exactly what was different.

While she was thinking about these things, Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu walked back to the yard one after another.
