Courtyard House: My Wife is Xu Huizhen

Page 436

Qin Huairu certainly didn't want He Yuzhu to have a Jeep, so she said, "He must be lying to me."

Jia Zhangshi said excitedly, "Let's go and expose him. How can a simpleton like him drive a Jeep?"

At this moment, a group of people from Hou Le also came over. Xu Damao, upon hearing Jia Jia Zhangshi's words, said with some schadenfreude:

"Well, you, Jia Zhangshi, actually called He Yuzhu a fool?"

Jia Zhangshi was startled; now no one dared to call He Yuzhu "Silly Zhu" to his face.

He would only occasionally curse behind someone's back, just to vent his frustration.

After all, He Yuzhu was a big devil in the courtyard. If anyone said a bad word about him, he wouldn't care who it was and would slap them across the face.

I've already been slapped several times, and I don't want to be hit again.

He said, "Xu Damao, if you dare to talk nonsense, I'll tear your mouth apart!"

Chapter 313 Jia Zhangshi Uses Force, Xu Damao Suffers

Xu Damao looked at Jia Zhangshi, whose face was full of scars, and suddenly felt a chill.

I recalled a painful memory from the past.

Back then, I was young, and I got drunk and slept with Jia Zhangshi without really understanding what was going on.

Although the two never mentioned it afterward, it was Xu Damao's first time sleeping with a woman, and it was quite exciting.

Out of consideration for their one-night stand, Xu Damao merely snorted and decided not to complain to He Yuzhu.

Jia Dongxu quickly stepped in to smooth things over, saying, "My mother just misspoke; why make such a fuss?"

Yi Zhonghai also offered a few words of explanation, and Xu Wude told Xu Damao not to talk nonsense.

The matter of Jia Zhangshi swearing was thus forgotten.

The two groups walked out together, but Xu Damao was somewhat absent-minded and fell behind the crowd.

Suddenly, he felt his sleeve being tugged. He turned around and saw it was Jia Zhangshi. Then he realized that there were only the two of them behind him.

Jia Zhangshi said, "Go to the alley later, I have something to tell you."

Xu Damao said, "What alley? What do we have to talk about?"

Jia Zhangshi said, "It's that alley from last time. You must come over; I need to talk to you about something."

When Xu Damao heard Jia Zhangshi say this, he was reminded of what happened in the alley last time, and he got goosebumps.

He snorted, abandoned Jia Zhangshi, and pushed his way to the front of the crowd.

Seeing that all the neighbors in the courtyard had come out, He Yuzhu then called He Daqing and his wife to get into the car with their child.

He Yushui had already climbed onto the car to study it immediately.

After they got into the car and closed the door, He Yuzhu got into the driver's seat, started the car, gave a signal to clear a path ahead, and then drove off.

He Yushui asked, "Brother, where are you taking us?"

"Of course we're going home. Your sister-in-law and the others don't even know we have this car yet. Let's cook a lot of dishes today so our family can have a reunion dinner."

"Haha, I haven't seen my eldest sister-in-law and second sister-in-law for several days either," He Yushui said with a grin.

He Yuzhu raised his hand and flicked her forehead: "You're talking nonsense again. Don't say things like that again."

"Hmph, who told you to have two wives?"

He Daqing quickly scolded, "Yushui, stop talking nonsense. You're a grown man, don't you know what you can and can't say?"

He Yushui said somewhat aggrievedly, "I only said that in front of you guys. I never talk nonsense outside. I haven't even said it to my best friend Haitang."

He Yuzhu asked, "You mean Yu Haitang, right?"

"Yes, he's the good friend of mine you've met before. He even asked you for scrap metal once."

He Yuzhu nodded and said, "That girl seems nice; we should help her more in the future."

He Yushui nodded: "She is my best friend."

It's only a 10-minute walk from Nanluoguxiang to Qianmen Street, and we arrived quickly.

After turning off the Jeep, He Daqing and his wife got out, but He Yushui remained in the car, touching and looking around.

"Get off the bus," He Daqing urged.

"Let me take another look. How did we get here so quickly? I haven't had enough yet."

Hearing the sound of a car, Xu Huizhi opened the door and was startled to see the He family members.

"Brother-in-law, Uncle He, Auntie, you're back."

Then he asked, "Where did you borrow this Jeep from?"

Rainwater had already gotten off the jeep and said proudly, "Sister-in-law, this was given to my brother by the boss."

Xu Huizhi turned to look at He Yuzhu, somewhat incredulous. He nodded, but she still couldn't believe it. However, this wasn't the place to talk.

He stepped aside and invited them all in.

Upon entering the courtyard, He Daqing was surprised to find another woman there.

He Yushui tugged at He Yuzhu and whispered, "Brother, why did you find another wife?"

"Don't talk nonsense, this is your sister-in-law's cousin, Zhao Yuezhen."

He Yushui simply couldn't believe it. He thought to himself, "You've already married your sister-in-law's cousin as your wife, and now you've arranged for his cousin to live in the courtyard too."

He wouldn't believe it if you said it wasn't his newlywed wife who beat He Yushui to death.

Zhao Yuezhen stood there somewhat awkwardly, watching He Daqing and his family scrutinize her with suspicious eyes.

Xu Huizhen then came out of the main room with her child in her arms and greeted her father-in-law and young mother-in-law.

Once inside the house, He Yushui chattered on and on, saying that her brother had been assigned a jeep.

Xu Huizhen became much calmer. He Yuzhu often drove them out for trips in his car, although he always said that he borrowed the car.

But He Yuzhu could borrow it whenever he wanted, so he didn't really care about a jeep.

"Did your boss really send it to you?"

He Yuzhu said, "Yes, the factory started producing air conditioners, refrigerators, and freezers, and the higher-ups were very happy and rewarded us with a Jeep."

Xu Huizhi and Zhao Yuezhen busied themselves in the kitchen for a while, preparing all the side dishes. He Yuzhu then personally cooked a table of delicious dishes.

As life became increasingly difficult for each household, He Daqing could not eat very well every day in the courtyard house.

He Yuzhu took this opportunity to call them over today.

Because it's a detached house, no matter how good the food is, no one will see it.

After having dinner and chatting for a while, He Yuzhu drove them back to the courtyard house before returning to rest.

Not long after He Yuzhu left, Xu Damao sneaked out of the yard.

Somewhat hesitant, he still walked into a small alley and saw that Jia Zhangshi was already waiting inside.

"Why did you come?"

Xu Damao said, "Last time was an accident, why are you looking for me again?"

Since the beginning of this year, the Jia family's life has gradually deteriorated.

That little bit of food was not enough to eat, and we were hungry every day.

Just a few days ago, Jia Zhangshi and I saw Xu Damao secretly bringing in some grain from outside.

She started thinking about asking Xu Damao to get her some grain.

That's why I managed to get Xu Damao to come out today.

Jia Zhangshi said, "You, Xu Damao, slept with me and now you're just going to pretend nothing happened?"

Xu Damao shouted, "Jia Zhangshi, stop talking nonsense. So many years have passed since that incident. Why are you still bringing it up?"

"Okay, so you call me 'darling' when you're holding me, but once you're all dressed up, you become 'Mrs. Jia'?"

Xu Damao suddenly felt unsteady on his feet. So many years had passed, and he had been drinking at the time, he had no idea whether he had ever called her "darling."

Suppressing his anger, he asked, "So what exactly do you want to do today?"

Jia Zhangshi said, "Our family is short of food right now. Do you have any connections to get some?"

I've heard that there's no pigeon feed available in the market now, and even if there is, the price is much higher than before.

Madam Jia also sent Jia Dongxu there. Even if someone were selling grain, they couldn't afford it.

So they set their sights on Xu Damao.

"Food? Where am I supposed to get food?"

"Don't lie to me. The bag you were sneaking around in the other day, what else could it be but grain?"

"you..."

While others might lack the connections, Xu Damao truly had a way to obtain grain.

For ordinary people, food is indeed very precious.
