Siheyuan: Yan Jiekuang's carefree life

Time passed quickly without us noticing. In the blink of an eye, more than a month had passed. He Yuzhu's son was already one month old. Every day, He Yuzhu and his wife took their child to work. Although He Yuzhu and Liu Lan had a hard time, their life was still quite sweet.

As the saying goes, some are happy while others are sad. He Yuzhu's family is doing well, but the ones who feel the most uncomfortable are Jia Dongxu, Yi Zhonghai and Xu Damao. However, Yi Zhonghai is not bad, but he feels a little upset when he sees He Yuzhu holding his son in front of him every day. Jia Dongxu is envious, because He Yuzhu and his wife are both working, and they both work in the factory cafeteria. Not only do they get paid, but they can also eat their fill.

Xu Damao saw that He Yuzhu had a happy life with his wife and children. However, he waited for more than a month but still had no news. Xu Damao was afraid that something might happen. So after work, Xu Damao went to a state-owned restaurant to pack two dishes, brought a bottle of wine, and rushed to his parents' home.

"Mom!" Gu Jinlian heard the call, walked out of the kitchen and asked, "Da Mao, why are you here today?!" As she said that, Gu Jinlian took the things in Xu Damao's hand.

Xu Damao parked his bike and asked, "Mom, what did they say about my girlfriend? It's been over a month. Is there any news?!"

After Gu Jinlian entered the room, she put the things on the table and said impatiently, "Why are you in such a hurry about this?! No matter what, she is the daughter of a wealthy family. It's impossible for her to find a partner like ordinary people. There must be a comparison, right?!"

Xu Damao said, "Mom, I'm not bragging. I'm good-looking and have a job. And my family background is not bad. How am I not worthy of her?! To put it bluntly, it's not that I'm not worthy of her, but that she is not worthy of me."

Gu Jinlian's face changed, she glared at Xu Damao and asked, "What are you talking about? What if someone outside hears what you said and it gets to the Lou family?!"

Xu Damao said nonchalantly: "Let them spread it! Why should I be afraid of them?!"

Gu Jinlian said: "Although the Lou family is not in charge now, they still have shares in the steel mill. If they want to kill you as a projectionist, isn't it a simple matter?!"

Xu Damao's face began to change at this time, and he said in a trembling voice: "Mom, don't worry! I will definitely not say anything nonsense."

After a while, Xu Wude came back. As soon as he entered the room, he saw Xu Damao and understood what was going on. Xu Wude wiped his face, walked to the table and sat down, and said, "Damo, don't think about your relationship with the Lou family. In a few days, your mother and I will help you find a suitable one."

Xu Damao was stunned for a moment and asked, "Dad, we were all fine before. Why did you suddenly change your mind?!"

Gu Jinlian walked to the table with food in her hand and asked, "Boss, what's going on?!"

Xu Wude said: "I met an acquaintance today. She told me that Lou Bancheng's brother's daughter didn't get married well. Lou Bancheng's daughter was scared. So she doesn't want to get married for the time being."

"Hey?! What does it have to do with her that her uncle's daughter didn't get married?! Why am I so unlucky?!" Xu Damao muttered and asked, "Dad! Is there really no room for maneuver?!"

Xu Wood shook his head and said, "I really didn't expect this problem to arise after all my calculations."

Xu Damao said, "Since the marriage is over, I will go to the countryside tomorrow and try to get more things before the New Year."

Gu Jinlian reminded: "Be careful when you go to the countryside to show movies."

Xu Damao said nonchalantly: "I've been running for so many years. I know what's going on. Don't worry!"

After eating at his parents' house, Xu Damao declined his parents' invitation to stay overnight and rode his bicycle back to the courtyard. The next morning, Xu Damao went to the factory, took the task list, the projection equipment and the film copy, and rode his bicycle out of the steel mill.

Although Xu Damao is laughing happily now, he never expected that someone was following him. At first, the village where Xu Damao went to show the movie was far away from Sijiu City. Xu Damao was quite well behaved and only collected some local specialties. After a few days, he arrived at a village not far from Sijiu City. After Xu Damao finished showing the movie, he accompanied the village cadres to have a fairly "sumptuous" midnight snack. After sending the village cadres away. Xu Damao locked the door from the inside, then climbed out of the back window and came to the widow Liu's house at the end of the village with a familiar look. Xu Damao looked around and reached out to knock on the door.

Not long after, the door opened. A head poked out. He looked outside, immediately let Xu Damao in, and quickly closed the door. After entering the house, Xu Damao couldn't wait to hug Widow Liu and said, "My little darling! I miss you so much!"

Widow Liu pushed Xu Damao away and said, "Don't I know what kind of person you are? You have so many lovers outside, how could you miss me?!"

Xu Damao walked forward again, hugged Widow Liu and said, "If I didn't miss you, how could I come to see you?! Baby, a night of spring is worth a thousand gold, so don't waste time!" After that, Xu Damao, half pushed and half given in by Widow Liu, the two rolled onto the kang.

Xu Damao and Widow Liu were just halfway through the first round of the card game when they heard a "clang" and the door was kicked open. A group of people rushed in from outside. The two women who were the first to be attacked pulled Widow Liu off the bed and beat her up without saying a word. Xu Damao was not having a good time either, as he was greeted enthusiastically by the two men.

Xu Damao held his head in his hands, dodging as he said, "Stop hitting me! Stop hitting me! I admit defeat! Let's talk it over!"

After about five or six minutes, an elderly woman, probably tired of beating, stopped, looked at Widow Liu with murderous intent and asked: "We in the Liu family are devoted to you! Are you worthy of my son?! My son has been dead for less than three years, and his body is still warm, and you start fooling around with him!" As she spoke, the old woman felt a surge of resentment in her heart again, and she took off her shoes and beat Widow Liu again.

At this time, the village head and the village party secretary got the news and rushed over. Seeing the situation in the house, the village head and the village party secretary were dumbfounded. Xu Damao knew that if he let these people make a decision, he would most likely have to eat peanuts. In order to save himself, Xu Damao shouted: "She is a widow, I am not married. We are dating. We plan to get married in a few days!"

When the old woman heard the word "marriage", her expression changed several times in an instant, and she said to the two men beside her: "Big brother, second brother! Beat this beast to death!"

The village head and the village party secretary immediately stopped the old woman's two sons. The village head said, "Old sister-in-law, calm down. Things have come to this. It's useless even if you beat them to death. Since Aidi's heart is no longer in your family, you might as well let her go! Just treat it as marrying off your daughter. Ask Comrade Xu to pay a betrothal gift as compensation to your family!"

The old woman looked at her two sons. She gritted her teeth and said, "Since you, the village chief, have spoken, I will give you this face. Let him pay 500 yuan and take this woman away!"

"Five hundred yuan?!" Xu Damao jumped up and said, "Where can I get so much money?!"

Someone in the crowd who was watching the fun shouted, "If you don't have money, you can use your work as collateral."

The eyes of the village head and the village party secretary suddenly lit up. They looked at Xu Damao as if they had been hungry for several days, staring at a piece of fat meat.
