Chapter 98 Xu Damao Acts Like a Scoundrel?
"Stop lounging around, hurry up and help me cook!"
Once things were out in the open, Yu Li stopped indulging Yu Haitang and directly asked her to help with the cooking.
"oh!"
Yu Haitang obediently followed him into the kitchen to cook.
Shen Zhishou shook his head, feeling like laughing.
Since the blind date didn't go through, Yu Li didn't need to prepare the dishes she had planned. She only made a simple stew and steamed a pot of cornbread made from a mixture of wheat and water.
Of course, stews still contain meat.
If you have meat to eat, what more could you want, like a bicycle?
After lunch, Shen Zhishou went out.
I didn't have much to do in the afternoon, so I decided to go to the train station to see if there was any work available. I can't take making money lightly.
Without these extra jobs to earn extra income, their current wages alone wouldn't be enough to support their comfortable lives.
Everyone in this courtyard is watching!
In fact, Yan Jiecheng had worked as a porter at the train station, but his weak body made him lose interest after just one job.
Therefore, Yan Jiecheng was not jealous at all after learning that Shen Zhishou went to the train station to work as a porter to earn spare change on his days off.
Yan Bugui wasn't envious at all!
This kind of hard-earned money is something their whole family can't earn.
Therefore, even though they saw the Shen family often eating meat and drinking soup, the Yan family gradually became indifferent. They could not earn this kind of money, and there was no use in being envious.
When someone brings this up, Yan Bugui and Yan Jiecheng will even offer some explanation.
But Shen Zhishou knew none of this at first.
Because of this, many women in the courtyard looked at Yu Li with particularly strange eyes.
It wasn't until Qin Huairu told Yu Li about it that Yu Li found out why.
Many people think that Shen Zhishou is working so hard now, he will definitely suffer when he gets old, while Yu Li will suffer as much as she enjoys herself now.
In their words, this is what it means to enjoy as much happiness as you will suffer in the future.
When Yu Li found out, she just sneered.
If she didn't know how beastly her own man was, she would have believed those sarcastic remarks.
Qin Huairu initially thought that Yu Li should persuade Shen Zhishou, but now, Qin Huairu no longer has that idea.
After following Shen Zhishou, she finally relaxed a bit after a few days. As a result, she didn't dare to go to the back room for several days, for fear that Shen Zhishou would catch her and cause her trouble again.
On her day off, Qin Huairu didn't arrive at the back room until Shen Zhishou left.
Yu Haitang wasn't there at the moment; she had borrowed Yu Li's bicycle and gone home to show it off.
"Sister Qin, I thought you weren't coming back!"
Upon seeing Qin Huairu approaching, Yu Li greeted her with a smile.
"You're just making fun of me!"
Qin Huairu carried Xiao Dang onto the kang (a heated brick bed) and sat down next to Yu Li.
After being put down, Xiao Dang crawled around on the kang (a heated brick bed), occasionally mumbling incoherently, having a great time.
"Wasn't Haitang supposed to be looking for a partner? Why did she end up at Shazhu's house?"
"Ugh, don't even mention it. That brat Haitang had no luck!"
Yu Li gets angry whenever she talks about this.
Then, in front of Qin Huairu, he gave Yu Haitang a good dressing down, but he didn't go into details. He only said that Yu Haitang was carefree and not steady at all.
Upon hearing this, Qin Huairu did not ask any further questions.
Smart people don't keep asking questions until they get to the bottom of things.
" Went to the station again?"
Qin Huairu asked casually.
Yu Li nodded and said, "Yeah, he doesn't have much to do at home. If he doesn't find something to do with all that energy, we'll be the ones suffering!"
"Too!"
Qin Huairu now understands why Yu Li wasn't jealous at all and even took the initiative to pull her onto the boat. A woman really can't stand having a man like that.
Even with the two of them together, Qin Huairu felt she couldn't handle it.
But she couldn't say such things.
The two were chatting when a commotion suddenly broke out outside.
"It looks like Sister Wang!"
Upon hearing one of the voices, Yu Li immediately got up, got off the kang (a heated brick bed), and ran outside.
In the alley outside the courtyard, a man and a woman were arguing.
The woman was Wang Minglan, and the man was Xu Damao.
A clear handprint can still be seen on Xu Damao's face.
"Xu Damao!"
"What are you doing!"
Knowing Xu Damao's character to some extent, Yu Li rushed over and attacked him, protecting Wang Minglan in front of her.
"Yu Li!"
"I didn't do anything! I really just mistook her for my wife!"
Xu Damao spoke up, looking aggrieved.
Wang Minglan snorted coldly and said, "I don't even know you, and you come up here and start touching me inappropriately. That's harassment!"
"Comrade, I've really mistaken you for someone else!"
"Heaven and earth bear witness, although I, Xu Damao, am not a good person, I would never dare to do anything like that!"
"Yu Li, Sister Qin, you have to be my witnesses!"
Xu Damao got angry.
If this act of indecent behavior is proven true, he'll be in big trouble.
At best, they'll be sent for rehabilitation; at worst, they might be forced to eat peanuts.
"Sister Minglan, what exactly happened?"
Yu Li turned to look at Wang Minglan, somewhat unsure.
Xu Damao does have a lot of flaws, especially his flirtatious talk, but he probably wouldn't dare to act like a hooligan in broad daylight.
Wang Minglan gave Xu Damao a cold look and then explained the whole story.
She came out of the public restroom and had just walked this way when Xu Damao hugged her from behind, saying something like, "I missed him so much." She was too surprised to hear what Xu Damao actually said.
Qin Huairu suddenly spoke up, asking, "Xu Damao, is Lou Xiao'e in the courtyard?"
"Yes, yes!"
Xu Damao quickly replied.
Qin Huairu hurried back to the courtyard house.
Not long after, Lou Xiao'e came out with Qin Huairu.
Then, at Qin Huairu's suggestion, Wang Minglan and Lou Xiao'e stood side by side with their backs to them.
Well, at first glance, it really does look a bit like it!
They're about the same height and build, and even have the same hairstyle, only their clothes are different!
"See? I really mistook you for someone else!"
Xu Damao was truly wronged.
He went back to the old house yesterday, wandered around outside for half the morning, ate at a state-run restaurant, and then returned to the courtyard. When he saw Wang Minglan, he really mistook her for Lou Xiao'e.
He didn't know what had gotten into him, wanting to surprise Lou Xiao'e. In the end, the surprise turned into a shock!
"Yu Li, does she really look like her?"
Wang Minglan didn't trust Xu Damao, nor was she familiar with Qin Huairu; she simply looked at Yu Li.
Yu Li hesitated for a moment, but nodded nonetheless.
So, it really was a misunderstanding!
Xu Damao could only suffer the slap in vain.
He was very dissatisfied, but there was nothing he could do.
In these kinds of situations, it's always the women who are at a disadvantage.
Of course, he also had his own faults. He even admitted his own wife's mistakes, so it was no wonder he got beaten.
Lou Xiao'e now knew the whole story, and she sincerely apologized to Wang Minglan. After receiving Wang Minglan's forgiveness, Lou Xiao'e turned her attention to Xu Damao.
"Xu Damao, come home with me!"
"Wife, I was wrong, but I'm truly innocent!"
Xu Damao followed Lou Xiao'e into the courtyard, explaining as they went.
Yu Li then looked at Wang Minglang, blinked, and said, "Sister Minglan, if you're still not satisfied, when my husband comes back, I'll make him put a sack over Xu Damao's head tonight!"
"It's not that bad!"
Wang Minglan immediately smiled.
After laughing, Wang Minglan asked Yu Haitang about it.
Yu Li gave a wry smile and said, "That brat was sad for about ten minutes, and then she carelessly rode her bicycle home to show off!"
I
Upon hearing this, Wang Minglan was at a loss for words.
Well, she's definitely cheerful, but she's also a bit carefree, which makes her a bit incompatible with her dim-witted younger brother.
After Yu Li finished talking about Yu Haitang, she remembered Qin Huairu and introduced her to Wang Minglan.
Wang Minglan had naturally heard of Qin Huairu's name. After all, Wang Mingliang would never hide anything he heard from Shen Zhishou from his family.
"I know you!"
"Times have changed; we women can have our own careers too!"
"Divorce is nothing to be ashamed of!"
"I'm divorced too!"
Wang Minglan's words surprised Yu Li.
"Sister Minglan, you—?"
"I met the wrong person!"
Wang Minglan smiled bitterly, "Back then I was young and didn't listen to my elders' advice. I insisted on pursuing free love, and ended up meeting a heartless man!"
"Now I've come to terms with it!"
"Living alone is great. I have a job, I have kids, I lack nothing!"
"Most importantly, after get off work, I don't have to serve those big shots anymore!"
Wang Minglan spoke of these things with great enthusiasm.
Yu Li looked completely embarrassed, unsure how to respond to Wang Minglan's words. She felt incredibly content with her life, and all that contentment stemmed from her husband!
