Walking with the Villain, Lou Xiao'e's Alternative Love

Jia Zhang was fished out of the pit, but the courtyard was in turmoil for most of the night.

There were the wailing and cursing of Jia Zhang, the sarcasm of the first aunt, the complaints of the second and third aunts, and the quarrels between Yu Li and Yan Jiecheng.

There were sounds of water being collected and poured over and over again, and the sounds of retching and vomiting.

Oh! What a harsh sound...

Gradually, the yard finally became quiet.

Under the night light, everything in the courtyard was clearly visible, as if the farce was just a dream.

However, people who live here know that this is not a dream, but a real episode in life.

The next morning, the sun shone brightly on the courtyard. Several families who participated in the rescue work opened their doors one after another and started a new day.

Despite what happened last night, life goes on.

When everyone met, they were all a little embarrassed, but they still forced themselves to cheer up and greet each other with a smile.

After a night's rest, the Jia family looked in a state of disarray.

Qin Huairu got up early. She didn't sleep well last night and was thinking about her mother-in-law. She knew that she couldn't just let it go. Her mother-in-law would definitely not let it go.

Sure enough, after waking up, Jia Zhang started cursing, saying that someone in the yard had deliberately made her fall into the pit.

Curse the three uncles for dereliction of duty and for taking advantage of others' misfortune and adding insult to injury.

Qin Huairu tried hard to persuade Jia Zhang that such groundless shouting and cursing would cause dissatisfaction among the neighbors.

But the more she tried to persuade Jia Zhang, the more excited she became. She even pushed open the window and started cursing loudly.

"Don't think I don't know what you are planning. Don't you just want to embarrass me, Jia Zhang, so that I can't stay in this courtyard anymore? I tell you, it's impossible!

If you are a bad person, I will kill you with firecrackers during the New Year, and choke you to death while eating dumplings on the night of the 30th..."

"Zhang Cuihua, please be more polite! You are lucky not to have been choked to death by the manure last night. Even if you fell down by yourself, even if someone tried to harm you, it was your own fault.

How much have you calculated before and after this? Don't you know it? You still need me to point it out to you.

Look at this yard, your family is causing chaos and there is no peace. Do you think that others can't see through your little tricks? It's just that everyone is thinking of their old friendship and doesn't want to break up.

You keep saying that others are hurting you, but have you ever thought about why it is you? Shouldn’t you also look for the reason in yourself?

You always say that others are plotting against you, but when you plot against others, are you not ruthless and ruthless? Check your conscience, can you sleep peacefully at night? "

Zhang Cuihua, people live only for one lifetime, and plants and trees die only for one autumn. Why do you have to live your life as an enemy? You are already half buried in the earth, so why are you still fighting for strength and fighting for cruelty? Do some good deeds for the younger generation and leave some good thoughts.

"God has his way, and who can escape it?" The deaf old lady said with pearls in her eyes, leaning on her dragon-headed cane.

The person that Jia Zhang was most afraid of in the courtyard was this deaf old lady.

Jia Zhang, who was usually arrogant and calculating, was like a hedgehog with its quills pulled out in front of the deaf old lady, and she instantly lost her edge.

Her eyes, which were used to being critical and calculating, now flashed with fear and uneasiness. She forced a hint of awkward smile at the corners of her mouth, but it was uglier than crying.

"Old lady, what you said is true. Although I, Zhang Cuihua, sometimes do things without thinking, it is for the livelihood of our family, right? It is not as bad as you say." There was a hint of defense and guilt in Jia Zhang's voice.

The deaf old lady shook her head gently, and her eyes that seemed to be able to see through people's hearts looked directly at Jia Zhangshi. Her voice was not loud, but it revealed an unquestionable strength: "You! You are already this old, what else can you not see clearly? The most important thing in life is to have peace of mind, not how many advantages you have taken or how many victories you have fought. Look at this courtyard, which family doesn't live their own lives behind closed doors? Why do you have to make everyone else restless?"

"Old lady, I..." Jia Zhang hesitated, as if she had a thousand words to say but didn't know where to start. She lowered her head and was silent for a moment. When she looked up again, her eyes were more sharp. Although Jia Zhang was unwilling, she couldn't say anything more in front of the respected deaf old lady. She glared at the people around her and closed the window.

The deaf old lady looked at her from behind and sighed helplessly. She knew that Jia Zhang's temperament could not be changed overnight, especially when a person was deeply bound by his own obsession.

"For people, the hardest thing is to see themselves clearly and let go of their obsessions." The deaf old lady murmured to herself, with a bit of compassion in her eyes.

Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e, who stayed out of the matter last night, heard the noise and watched the excitement, but were not idle either. This caused both of them to get up late.

There was no time for breakfast. Xu Damao rode his 125 scooter in a hurry, carrying his wife who was pinching and twisting him.

On the way, the wind whistled past their ears, bringing with it the chill of winter, as if urging the young couple to start a new day quickly.

Lou Xiao'e sat in the back seat, her arms tightly around Xu Damao's waist, with a helpless yet sweet smile on her face. She would occasionally scold Xu Damao for accelerating or shaking, but more often she enjoyed the little pleasures in this ordinary life.

Looking back on this day's work, it was still easy and enjoyable.

Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e walked out of the steel mill together. They talked as they walked, discussing what to eat in the evening.

"Why don't we have a hotpot tonight, wife?" Xu Damao suggested.

"Okay, I'm craving for it too." Lou Xiao'e agreed with a smile.

"What are you looking at?" Xu Damao asked curiously.

"Look at the atmosphere in the courtyard." Lou Xiao'e retracted her gaze and said thoughtfully, "Do you think Jia Zhang will let go of what happened yesterday?"

"What can she do? Can she cause another cesspool incident?" Xu Damao teased.

Lou Xiao'e rolled her eyes at him and said, "Who knows. That old lady Jia has always been difficult to deal with, and I think Qin Huairu is also unwilling to give in."

"What does it matter whether she is willing or not? If she can live an honest life, it is not impossible for her to marry a good man. But she wants to be a whore and a virtuous woman at the same time. Does she really think that others are fools? She is just a pretty face with nothing in it." Xu Damao said with regret.

"Xu Damao, who do you think is prettier, me or Qin Huairu?" Lou Xiao'e asked suddenly.

"Wife, you are asking unnecessary questions. In my eyes, everyone except you is ugly." Xu Damao's words successfully made Lou Xiao'e laugh. "You are smart!"

As the ingredients were served one by one, they began to immerse themselves in this rare tranquility and warmth.

At this moment, both the pressure at work and the troubles among neighbors are temporarily forgotten.

Xu Damao looked at Lou Xiao'e from time to time. She picked up a piece of beef slice with chopsticks and blew a few breaths on it, as if she was performing the final "cooling ceremony" for the beef slice.

Then, he put the beef into his mouth. In an instant, a satisfied and somewhat exaggerated expression bloomed on his face. His eyes narrowed slightly, his eyebrows raised slightly, and the corners of his mouth were exaggeratedly drawn into an arc, as if he was enjoying a silent food appreciation.

When she was enjoying the meal, she still freed up one hand, pointed at the ingredients in the pot, and said to Xu Damao: "This! This is super delicious! You should try it now!"

Occasionally, a piece of overly hot chili slices "sneak attack" her, and she immediately frowned and her eyes turned red because of the spiciness, but then she started laughing again, picked up the water from the side and took a big gulp. The feeling of "spicy and happy" made her laugh even more happily, and even tears came out with laughter.

During the whole process of eating hot pot, Lou Xiao'e was like a lively elf. With her every expression and every movement, she added a lot of joy to the hot pot.

Xu Damao said with a smile while eating: "If the food is too spicy later, I will have to rely on Comrade Lou Xiaoe's gentleness to relieve the spiciness."

This caused Lou Xiao'e to roll her eyes at him.
