All the bullying Xu Damao had suffered at Sha Zhu's hands in the past now appeared before Xu Damao's mind bit by bit, in every detail. The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. There was no way out.

During the years when the situation was at its worst, He Yuzhu from the Intermediate Court was also dragged out for criticism. As for the reason, it must have been due to his wife Lou Xiao'e's family.

However, it was not often, after all, the rolling mill had to have this idiot cooking. Although it was not often, every time He Yuzhu was criticized, Xu Damao was happy to show his support, and every time he prepared a lot of props in advance to give He Yuzhu a hard time.

Xu Damao was the kind of person who was both inexperienced and playful, and every time he did something, He Yuzhu would always retaliate against him. It was just like when they were kids, except that this time He Yuzhu no longer used his dirty tricks on Xu Damao, but slapped him in the face instead.

After all, no adult can look nonchalant after losing a fight and getting bruised on the face. A tree lives on its bark, a man lives on his face, and few people who are out there don't care about their face.

He Yuzhu now owns three main rooms in the central courtyard, but his life is not very comfortable. He is slovenly and this is what happened to him after Lou Xiao'e and her family left.

Since he became single again, He Yuzhu did not act like the men nowadays, letting fish leap as the sea is wide and birds fly as the sky is high. Instead, he never recovered from the setback and became less talkative. He Yuzhu had not been involved in the affairs of the Siheyuan for so many years.

However, a three-digit monthly salary is more comfortable than the current four-digit monthly income, and I will definitely not compromise on food and drink.

This is how He Yuzhu has been doing in recent years. Although he lives his life behind closed doors, there are no secrets in the compound. They even go to and from get off work on the same route.

The neighbors in the courtyard have also seen his living habits over the years. Many of them still miss He Yuzhu's three-digit monthly salary.

For example, the old woman Jia Zhang from the Jia family in the Central Courtyard often asked Qin Huairu to match her cousin Qin Jingru and He Yuzhu.

They are both middle-aged couples, and neither of them has any burdens, so no one should look down on each other.

Just the day before yesterday, when Qin Huai Tathagata came to the backyard to persuade Qin Jingru and He Yuzhu, unfortunately, this matter was heard by Xu Damao who came back from getting medicine.

"Jingru, it's been a few years since you divorced Xu Damao. Do you want me to introduce you to someone new?"

Xu Damao, who was standing at the door secretly chirping, almost couldn't help but rush in and drive Qin Huairu out when he heard Qin Huairu say that. However, Xu Damao was still a bit cunning.

I held back and wanted to see what kind of person Qin Huairu, the elder sister, would introduce to her ex-wife this time.

Ahem, no, ever since Xu Damao knew that he was unable to have children, he eased his relationship with Qin Jingru. During this period, there was a strong desire to remarry. Now, in Xu Damao's eyes, Qin Jingru is his wife.

"Hey, sister, don't worry about my affairs."

Qin Jingru, who had been working in the courtyard for more than ten years, was no longer the newbie who came from Qinjia Village. She was now familiar with the people and things in the courtyard.

"Jingru, what are you talking about?"

"How can I, as your elder sister, harm you? At the beginning, I said I would introduce you to a girl in the city and let you marry her in the city. I didn't lie to you, did I?"

"If I hadn't introduced Xu Damao to you, you might still be planting crops in the fields right now!"

Of course, there is nothing wrong with growing crops. After all, everyone needs to eat, right? Even after hundreds of years, the food in the land will still be the main source of food for humans.

"How dare you say that? Look at who you introduced me to."

"First, there was He Yuzhu, who didn't want to take care of your family at all. Then there was Xu Damao..." Qin Jingru thought about how she met and got to know Xu Damao, and said in a deep voice, "He's not a good guy either."

The latter comment on Xu Damao was too quiet, and Xu Damao, who was standing at the door, did not hear it. Otherwise, he would have exploded on the spot.

Qin Huairu, after hearing what Qin Jingru said, also smiled awkwardly and didn't intend to continue the topic of her cousin. After all, "cousin" is not a biological relative, otherwise, Qin Huairu would never have found someone in her yard to settle down for her sister.

At this moment, Qin Huairu, who had just turned 40, had already mastered the White Lotus Technique to perfection. It was a pity that he had never gotten close to the silly Zhuzi in the middle courtyard in this life, otherwise, their family's life would be so comfortable now.

"Jingru, I've been through this before. When your brother-in-law passed away, you were still a minor. Although I've given birth to three children, I'm still as pretty as a flower. When I first started working at the steel mill, I charmed so many people."

"Even now, there are many single men in the steel mill who want to start a new family with me!"

"But I refused. Do you know why?"

Qin Jingru didn't say anything when she heard this, but shook her head, indicating that she didn't know the reason.

"I'm different from you. I have three children. For Banggeng, Xiaodang and Huaihua, no matter how hard it is for me to be alone, at least I still have something to look forward to when I'm old, right?"

"But you are different. You are alone now. What will you do when you get old? You don't even have a formal job. You can still earn some money by doing odd jobs now. But when you get old and can't work anymore, what will you do?"

"While you are still young and can still have children, you should find someone to marry as soon as possible and leave a descendant for yourself. That way, you will have something to look forward to in the future, right?"

Xu Damao, who was eavesdropping at the door, felt very conflicted when he heard this. He wanted to rush in to argue with Qin Huairu, but he was afraid to let them know that it was his problem that he could not have children.

In the end, I could only suppress my thoughts and continue to stand at the door and eavesdrop.

Qin Jingru was also somewhat moved when she heard this, and then she said, "Sister, who are you introducing to me this time?"

Qin Huairu was overjoyed when she heard this, but she remained calm and said, "You also know this person. He is our neighbor in the yard."

"It's He Yuzhu from the Intermediate Court. Both of you are divorced and single, and neither of you has any children. If it really works out, you'll be a couple who got married later in life, so don't look down on each other."
