Siheyuan: Happy life of veteran drivers

Chapter 248 Yu Li has a sense of crisis

Lou Xiao'e nodded shyly: "When I first got married, I didn't know anyone else, so I spent more time with the deaf old lady. Later, when I saw that she was old, I occasionally brought her some food."

Xu Damao said helplessly: "I've told her several times but she won't listen, this spendthrift woman."

Wang Hongtao said seriously: "Brother Damao is right about this. You should stay away from that deaf old lady in the future. She is not as simple as you think."

Xu Damao was excited: "Really? I told you that the deaf old lady is not a good person, but you still don't believe me. Listen to what Lao Wang said!"

"No way? I think the deaf old lady is very nice. She cares about me and comforts me. She even speaks for me when Damao and I have a quarrel." Lou Xiao'e said puzzledly.

Wang Hongtao: "Help you? How? Help you to curse Xu Damao? Say Xu Damao is not a good person, but a bad seed?"

Lou Xiao'e nodded with a red face.

Wang Hongtao continued, "Can that be called helping? That's called harming you! How can it be called helping if I try to sow discord between you two?"

"If I'm not mistaken, besides saying bad things about Damao, she also often says how good Shazhu is, right?"

Lou Xiao'e continued to remain silent.

Xu Damao was shocked when he heard this: "Did that old guy really say that?"

Lou Xiao'e nodded: "It's no big deal. Isn't that what people say outside? They say Xu Damao has a bad character, Sha Zhu is honest, and helps others without asking for anything in return."

After a pause, he continued, "Of course I just listened casually and didn't take it seriously."

"That damn old woman! I'm going to settle the score with her!"

Lou Xiao'e didn't understand, but how could Xu Damao, who is an expert in this field, not understand?

Xu Damao: An old guy, he just eats his own food and stands up for Sha Zhu.

He also said bad things about himself behind his back and praised Sha Zhu.

What is this behavior?

Ungrateful, ungrateful, and a typical Wang Po behavior!

I just said that I always feel that my wife's attitude has changed recently. Is this the problem in our relationship? !

After thinking about it, Xu Damao was furious and wanted to settle the score with the deaf old lady.

"Brother Damao, where are you going?" Wang Hongtao grabbed Xu Damao.

"Go settle accounts with that old guy!"

"Settle accounts? What kind of accounts?"

"I know you are angry and anxious, but don't be anxious."

Wang Hongtao said slowly, "What can you do to the deaf old lady by showing up at her house without any evidence?"

"Let's take a step back and say that even if you have evidence, the deaf old lady will just shirk responsibility by saying she can't hear and walk away."

"Can you still argue with her?"

"So your coming here will do nothing but embarrass me!"

"I...what should I do? Just let her scheme against me for nothing?!"

Xu Damao sat back in his seat angrily.

"What should I do? Endure!"

"Since you already know what the deaf old lady is thinking, Sister Xiao'e will just ignore her in the future."

"If you're still unwilling, take it out on the fool." Wang Hongtao controlled his temper and persuaded.

Then he turned around and advised Lou Xiao'e: "Now you should know what the deaf old lady is planning, right?"

"As the saying goes, three people make a tiger, and a lie told enough times becomes the truth."

"Sister Xiao'e, you should be more careful in the future. Even if it's for the sake of the child, don't give her good food anymore."

Xu Damao couldn't do anything to the deaf old lady, so he could only persuade Lou Xiao'e: "Ezi, just listen to Lao Wang. Isn't it for you and the child that Lao Wang works so hard to do these things?"

"Food is so hard to come by now, why should we feed it to that damn old woman?!"

Lou Xiao'e also nodded firmly: "Well, I won't pay attention to her anymore! I thought she was a good person, but I didn't expect her to be so bad!"

"These things are for the children's nutrition, I can't bear to give them to others."

It’s strange to say, Xu Damao had told her about the deaf old lady countless times before, but she just didn’t believe it. But today it was Wang Hongtao who persuaded her, and she believed it after only one time.

Seeing that Lou Xiao'e was no longer stubborn, Xu Damao finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Ezi, it's good that you can figure it out. In the future, listen less to other people's instigation and listen more to me and Lao Wang. The two of us will never hurt you!"

After saying that, he went back to the kitchen and planned to cook the remaining two dishes.

Entering the kitchen, Xu Damao couldn't help feeling warm in his heart. He thought that it was fortunate that Lao Wang spoke up for him, otherwise if he had been instigated by the deaf old lady for too long, Sha Zhu might have taken advantage of him.

Besides, Lao Wang is very good at talking. Even someone as stubborn as Lou Xiao'e can be persuaded by him. It seems that if Lou Xiao'e gets angry again in the future, she will have to call him over to persuade her.

……

After Xu Damao left, Lou Xiaoe continued to stare at Wang Hongtao lovingly: "Don't worry, Hongtao, I won't believe anyone else in the future and will only listen to you.

Take good care of yourself and the children, so you don't have to worry about them."

Wang Hongtao grabbed Lou Xiaoe's hand from under the table and said with satisfaction: "Whether I worry or not is secondary. The safety and health of you and your child are more important than anything else."

After hearing what Wang Hongtao said, Lou Xiao'e felt warm in her heart and looked at Wang Hongtao with spring in her eyes: "How about letting Damao drink more tonight? I miss you!"

Wang Hongtao shook his head: "Not now. The first three months are the most dangerous time. We must not be careless."

Lou Xiao'e's eyes lit up: "What about three months later???"

Wang Hongtao smiled slightly and did not answer.

……

The food is served.

Wang Hongtao and Xu Damao deliberately did not take scrambled eggs or lean meat, and only ate vegetables and tofu.

Xu Damao was thinking that the Xu family had been a single-line family for three generations. Now that Lou Xiao'e was pregnant with great difficulty, he had to make sure she was well fed.

Wang Hongtao, who had no shortage of food, thought that Lou Xiaoe had given him so much money and helped him give birth to a child. If he didn't love her, who would?

……

Wang Hongtao put a piece of scrambled egg in Lou Xiaoe's bowl:

"Sister Xiao'e eats eggs. Eggs are nutritious and the baby will grow fast."

Xu Damao was not willing to be outdone, so he took some lean meat from the stir-fried lean meat with dried tofu and gave it to Lou Xiaoe: "Ezi, eat meat. It will give you...strength."

Lou Xiao'e glared at Xu Damao and said, "Why do I need the strength? To work?"

Then he gave half of the lean meat in the bowl to Wang Hongtao: "Old Wang, come and have some meat. Drivers work hard and cannot be without oil and water."

Xu Damao was not angry when he saw this. He and Wang Hongtao looked at each other and then nodded and smiled.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the room was very harmonious and warm, like a family.

……

During this period, Yu Li came to the backyard twice.

The first time she saw Wang Hongtao chatting at Xu Damao’s house, she went back, thinking of coming back later.

When I came the second time, I saw Wang Hongtao already eating at Xu Damao's house.

Yu Li left in a melancholy mood.

When I got home, I said a few perfunctory words to my parents-in-law, saying that Wang Hongtao had already eaten at Xu Damao's house, and there was still no dinner for tonight.

The third uncle and his family immediately sighed and thought about what to eat for dinner.

The Yan family was discussing heatedly, but Yu Li didn't pay any attention to it.

What seemed like an incredible thing to the Yan family was just an ordinary thing to Wang Hongtao.

For example, dumplings. She had never eaten them since she married into the Yan family. Occasionally, when she mentioned it, Yan Bugui scolded her, saying that there was no point in eating dumplings during festivals.

But at Wang's house, Wang Hongtao could eat whatever he wanted, and it was always stuffed with meat.

As she thought about it, Yu Li couldn't help but drool.

After wiping the saliva, Yu Li started to worry about her future again and began to feel anxious about gains and losses.

When we first met, Wang Hongtao was so enthusiastic towards me. He always found ways to make me happy. Even when he was doing bad things to take advantage of me, it was the kind of thing that made me nervous but still attracted to him.

But now?

He is suspected of being in a relationship with Qin Jingru, Qin Huairu comes to do housework, He Yushui takes over his weekend, and Lou Xiaoe is pregnant and invites guests.

Incidents like these never stopped. If you counted the time, Wang Hongtao hadn't pampered himself for a week.

Yu Li wondered in her heart: Is this just a coincidence? Or is Wang Hongtao tired of playing around and doesn't want to bother with me?

Feeling nervous, Yu Li ate a few bites and went to wait for Lao Wang at the gate of the yard. She knew that Lao Wang had the habit of taking a walk after dinner.

"I'm full, let me go for a walk!"
