1959Siheyuan, a Turnaround

Chapter 408 Singing Double Act

I thought the matter of Grandma Li coming to collect the debt was over, but who could have thought that there is no wall that is impenetrable in this world. The old saying "Good news doesn't travel far, but bad news travels a thousand miles" is fully reflected here.

The news of Qin Huairu borrowing money and not paying it back spread like wildfire around Nanluoguxiang.

From then on, Jia Zhang's life was filled with misfortune.

No matter whether I go out to buy groceries or stroll in the yard, I can always feel the strange looks from people around me. They look like they are looking at me as a monster.

Jia Zhang was so angry that her lungs were about to explode. She made up her mind and simply stayed at home, thinking out of sight, out of mind.

On the fifth day after Qin Huairu gave birth, Jia Zhangshi stopped caring about her and let Qin Huairu go in and out and take care of things on her own.

The neighbors in the courtyard all knew what Jia Zhang was doing, but no one wanted to meddle in her affairs.

Why? Because Jia Zhang was too difficult to deal with. She was like a hedgehog, and anyone who touched her would get hurt.

So everyone stayed away from them, as far away as possible, as if the Jia family was nothing but air.

From then on, the neighbors in the yard could see Qin Huairu washing diapers for her child by the pool every day with tears in her eyes.

She originally thought that she could win some sympathy from the neighbors, but she didn't know that what she and Jia Zhang had done before had already destroyed their future.

Now when the neighbors see them, they avoid them as if they were the plague. Who would still feel pity for them?

But Qin Huairu was still thinking about Xu Damao in the backyard.

Back then, she was still thinking of blaming the child on Xu Damao's child.

In this situation, she would feel it would be unreasonable if she didn't make some demands.

So, that night, Qin Huairu no longer cared about her face and deliberately waited outside the gate.

The moment she saw Xu Damao, she rushed over and stopped him with her hand: "Xu Damao, stop! I have something to talk to you about."

When Xu Damao saw that it was Qin Huairu, he immediately showed an impatient expression on his face: "What are you doing, Qin Huairu, don't talk nonsense in broad daylight."

These words were clearly meant to warn Qin Huairu not to act recklessly.

Qin Huairu rolled her eyes at him and said straight to the point without beating around the bush: "Xu Damao, I don't believe you don't know why I'm looking for you!"

Xu Damao guessed in his heart that Qin Huairu wanted to talk about the child, but he was not stupid. How could he admit something that had no basis?

Xu Damao stiffened his neck and said loudly, "Qin Huairu, don't try to trick me. I have nothing to do with you, how would I know what you want to do? If nothing else, I'll leave. If you have anything else, we'll meet at the police station. When Yi Zhonghai was sentenced to death, there must be something that was not explained clearly. If you are willing, I would like to report some problems to them."

After saying that, Xu Damao didn't even look at Qin Huairu who was angry, and strode into the courtyard.

Xu Damao walked while muttering to himself, what a joke! Qin Huairu was trying to blackmail him.

If the child is really his, Xu Damao's, then he should produce evidence and say that the child is his for no reason. He doesn't want to be the scapegoat.

Qin Huairu stood there, gritting her teeth in anger at Xu Damao.

But Xu Damao ignored her and she was helpless.

After all, she herself didn't know whose child this was, and now she was really suffering the consequences.

There was no choice but Qin Huairu to clench her fists and walk back home in shame.

This scene happened to be seen by Li Weiguo who had just returned from school.

If it were in the past, Li Weiguo might have turned a blind eye.

But now it’s different. Qin Huairu is so shameless that she wants to blackmail his family for money. If he doesn’t teach her a profound lesson, he will be sorry for this time travel.

So, after Li Weiguo finished his meal and returned to the courtyard, he stayed in the house, keeping his eyes on what was happening in the courtyard.

He knew that Xu Damao had a habit of going to the public toilet before going to bed.

He was waiting for this moment.

Not long after, Xu Damao really went to the public toilet outside.

Li Weiguo seized the opportunity and hurriedly followed.

He did not follow Xu Damao into the toilet, but instead performed a duet alone outside the wall of the men's toilet.

He lowered his voice and imitated the voice of Young Man A, saying, "Brother Liu, you've been married for several months, but you still don't have a child. What's going on? Is it my sister-in-law's problem?"

Then, he changed to a rougher voice, pretending to be middle-aged man B and replied: "Alas, it's not your sister-in-law's problem. My husband and I went to the hospital for a check-up, and the doctor said it was my problem. At first I misunderstood that your sister-in-law was infertile, and now it's caused a commotion!"

A then said in surprise: "Your problem? How could it be? You look fine everywhere, how could it be your problem?"

Man B sighed and said, "To be honest with you, I've been beaten there before!"

After saying that, Li Weiguo closed his mouth and pretended that the two had walked away.

Xu Damao heard it clearly in the bathroom.

The more he listened, the more he felt something was wrong; it felt like the voice was talking about him.

His heart skipped a beat and he quickly came out of the bathroom, pulling up his pants.

He glanced in the direction where the two people were talking, and after making sure that no one was there, he muttered, "Is it my fault that Xiao'e and I haven't had a child for so long? No, I have to go to the hospital tomorrow to check it out."

Li Weiguo jumped down from the toilet only after Xu Damao left.

Fortunately, he was agile and didn't let Xu Damao discover him, otherwise everything would have been exposed.

The corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he thought to himself, wait until Xu Damao finds out the truth, and then see what Qin Huairu can use to threaten Xu Damao.

Some people are like this, they don't want to accept a toast, but instead find something to do.

Although ten dollars is not a lot of money, when he first came here, he didn't even have ten dollars, and two of them were taken away by someone.

He couldn't swallow this breath.

Xu Damao suffered a lot that night. He felt like he was being scratched by a cat and tossed and turned, unable to sleep.

Early the next morning, he showed up at the factory, found an excuse to slip out, and went straight to the hospital.

This investigation left Xu Damao confused.

Holding the certificate issued by the hospital in his hand, he returned to the steel mill in a daze.

He never thought that he was infertile at such a young age.

The doctor said that his genitals were injured by external force, and given the current medical conditions in China, there is no way to treat it.

However, the doctor also comforted him by saying that medical conditions will become more and more advanced in the future and conditions like his will definitely be cured.

Although Xu Damao felt bad, he knew that he owed Lou Xiaoe.

He secretly vowed to treat Lou Xiao'e well in the future, work hard to save money, and find a way to cure his illness when medical conditions improved.

He also went back to his parents' home and showed them the hospital's examination report. He repeatedly urged them to be nicer to Lou Xiao'e in the future and to save money with him.

All day long, Xu Damao felt like he had lost his soul, his steps were unsteady, and he felt like he was dreaming.

He pinched himself from time to time, "hiss", it hurt, it was all real.

When we returned to the gate of the courtyard, Qin Huairu showed up again.

As soon as Xu Damao saw her, he immediately broke down and shouted hysterically at Qin Huairu: "Widow Qin, stay the f*ck away from me! If you block my way again, I will bring retribution to your whole family!"

Qin Huairu was about to open her mouth when she was frightened by Xu Damao's appearance.

She didn't know what was going on, but she knew in her heart that Xu Damao was like a bomb that could explode at any time, and she couldn't provoke him again.

Xu Damao left with a look of resentment on his face, leaving Qin Huairu standing there alone, frightened and at a loss for what to do by this sudden scene.
