Chapter 13 That's My Wife!

zer still has the face to claim he doesn't meddle with the Jia family!By this time, Qin Huaiyu had also stopped working at her end. One reason was that the anger in the heart of the widowed woman had...The next morning, just as Xu Damai yawned and pushed his bicycle towards the courtyard, He Yuzhu suddenly sprang out from the side.

"Hey! Xu Damai, look at you, so listless. You probably didn't do anything good last night, huh"

Xu Damao was startled by this sudden shout. After seeing that it was He Yuzhu, he curled his lips in disdain.

Seeing that there was no one around, the young man's voice took on a smug tone: "You don't understand. The widow from Red Flag Commune knows how to please men in bed! With her looks and figure nestled in your arms... Bah! What do I, a rough-around-the-edges cook who has never even touched a girl's hand, have to say about that Go away somewhere cool! Let me tell you, fool..."

This kid was just about to call out "Silly Zhu", but seeing his two fists raised like sandbags, and remembering the clean break of the brick yesterday, Xu Damao immediately held back his words.

He Yuzhu raised an eyebrow: "You kid are really arrogant, aren't you afraid I'll go back and tell your Lou Xia e"

Xu Damai looked nervously around the courtyard, making sure no one was coming before a smug expression appeared on his face. He lowered his voice and said: “Lou Xiao'e is my wife, could she be driven apart by you, an outsider Let's speak frankly. With your abilities, don't even think about getting involved with Qin Huaiyu. You can't handle it! Understand Pay me the ten yuan immediately, or I'll make you regret this!”

Inside the hut by the side, listening to Xu Damao brazenly "lecture" He Yuzhu with a smug face, Lou Xiaogu inexplicably let out a sigh of relief.

Actually, her alcohol wore off halfway through last night, but by then she was already being carried. Plus, with the strong winds and heavy rain, her body just couldn't listen to her head. When it came time to rest, she didn't feel comfortable speaking up.

When the old deaf woman pushed open the door, she already felt a deep sense of unease in her heart.

One is to blame the deaf old woman for being disrespectful to the elderly, and the other is to secretly hate oneself for being able to do such a shameless thing.

If Xu Damai hadn't been unfaithful outside, then wouldn't Lou Xia'e be unable to hold her head up in the Xu family for the rest of her life

The understanding old deaf woman didn't say much, she just advised her not to jump to conclusions hastily, and wait until the truth of the matter was clear before making a decision.

Therefore, Lou Xiaoe had to suppress the uneasiness in her heart. She followed He Yuzhu to this back room early in the morning. This was a place she usually avoided as it was cluttered with miscellaneous items and rarely used by anyone.

Thank goodness, luckily this Xu Damai is indeed a scoundrel!

After learning the truth, Lou Xiaoxiao felt a lot lighter. She peeked out the crack in the door and saw He Yuzhu standing outside. Her young legs were trembling slightly.

The old woman was right, I was really blind in the past. I had a treasure right before my eyes, yet I was fooled by Xu Damao, that scoundrel! How could I have been so blinded

Having seen his purpose achieved, He Yuzhu was too lazy to argue with Xu Damao any further. He took out a crumpled banknote tied with a small leather band from his pocket and threw it into his hand: "The money is here. Count it yourself. Don't come crying to me at the factory!"

These days, the largest denomination of currency is ten yuan, but no one carries such large bills. Wallets are typically filled with smaller denominations like fifty cents, twenty cents, and one cent notes. Even one yuan or two yuan notes are rare.

Xu Damao was delighted: "You little punk, you finally know what's up! In the future, be more mindful and don't mess with me again!"

He Yuzhu raised an eyebrow: "Xu Damai, I ask you, what's the difference between a direct and an indirect hit Do you know"

Lóu Xiǎo'é behind the door blushed and gripped the doorknob tightly, afraid to speak.

Xu Damao then scoffed: "Cut the crap with me, I'm too lazy to bother with you!"

He happily held the ticket in his hand, "Hmm, this little rubber band looks familiar..."

........

Having received the money, Xu Damai was in high spirits and hummed a little tune as he walked home. However, he found the door to his house slightly ajar, and his wife Lou Xiaomei wasn't inside. He frowned and muttered, "This spendthrift won't have gone to deliver things to the Jia family again, will she"

He was muttering to himself when Lou Xiaoe walked in, pushing the door open.

The young woman's face held no expression, she simply asked in a soft voice, "Were the cars outside assigned to you by the factory"

Xu Damao said excitedly: “That’s right! It’s probably a brand new bicycle, and the key is that it doesn’t cost money or require tickets! Plus, there are some dry goods hanging on the handlebars, you haven’t seen them before. Just now, Uncle Three and his family were staring with their eyes wide open! Your father really knows how to get things done. I applied for this bicycle from our section chief many times before, but he kept pretending not to understand!”

Lou Xiaogua hummed in response: "Stop showing off and change your clothes quickly. I'll wash them for you. You must be filthy after this night."

Xu Damao's face changed, and he quickly pushed back: "Don't bother, I'll just wash it at the factory later. You don't have to worry about it!"

Lou Xia'e refused and directly reached out, pulling a wad of bills from his pocket in just a few moves: "Alright! Xu Damai, you think you're tough now, daring to hide your private money behind my back, huh"

After finding out that Xu Damai had been secretly doing this good deed behind her back, Lou Xia'e didn't want to leave a single penny for him. She was determined to get the money back no matter what!

It's better to spend this on the deaf old woman and... that guy instead!

"Xu Damao was feeling the pain of the money spent, but he still tried to make amends and said: 'That was some money my colleagues from our department borrowed from me a few months ago. They just returned it yesterday, and I was just about to tell you, A-Zi........'"

He was doing well at his abacus calculations, thinking of sending this money to Liu Limin, the director of the canteen in Building One.

That old geezer is just a man who does things for money. As long as he gets some benefit from us this time, Silly Zhu will definitely have a hard time in the future.

In fact, he did have some private savings. To prevent Silly Zhu from pestering the widowed Qin Huairu again, he was willing to lend him the ten yuan, even if it meant Big Ma had to bite the bullet and pay.

You silly Zhu, do you really think that losing ten yuan is nothing

That's wishful thinking!

Dare you punch me again Just wait and see what happens next time!

As one of the eight members, even though his wages were controlled by Lou Xia'e, Xu Damai still had other means of income and lived a carefree life.

Not only that, in his daily life, he was already flirtatious and restless. He would either try to charm the female workers at factories when buying things, curry favor with the new factory belle Yu Hai Tang, or sneak away with gifts to comfort widows in the downstairs commune.

Otherwise, with that horse face of his, people would be happy to flatter him

Lou Xiao'e didn't expose these lies either. She kept stuffing the money into a small box inside a five-dou cabinet by her side: “I have to go home today, I won't go back with you to your mother's place.” Yi and Tong Zhi felt that He Yuzhu really put himself out there today. Originally, he was planning to organize a grand meeting for the neighbors in the courtyard to commend this kid, but an official...
