Siheyuan: Since 1962

Chapter 137 Uneasy
Although she didn't say anything, Yi Zhonghai still understood what the deaf old lady meant. He tried to lower his voice and leaned close to her ear and said, "Don't worry, I didn't tell anyone about the letter, and neither did He Daqing. I took the responsibility for this matter. Everyone thinks that it was me who made you faint. You don't have to worry about what others think of you."

The deaf old lady calmed down after hearing this. The panic in her eyes disappeared, replaced by her usual kindness.

Seeing that she was quiet, Yi Zhonghai continued, "Old lady, I took the blame for you, and my reputation in the courtyard has been ruined. Even if people think that I am justified, they will not trust me so much in the future. Zhou Weimin is still using the factory's affairs to target me, and Sha Zhu is looking at me like an enemy now. I really have no other choice. Can you think of a way to help me?"

After saying this, Yi Zhonghai stared into the deaf old lady's eyes, and his breathing became a little lower.

However, the deaf old lady's eyes were confused, just like her reaction when she didn't hear it before.

Lou Xiao'e didn't know what happened after he and she left, but even if she knew, she wouldn't care now.

At this moment, she was sitting in the living room of her home, answering her parents' questions with some uneasiness.

"Xiao'e, I heard that the old lady in your yard was admitted to the hospital. You have been leaving early and returning late these two days. Are you taking care of the old lady?"

Although Lou Ruizhong was asking, his words were full of affirmation.

If it weren't for the previous contact with Zhou Weimin, who asked him to ask people to pay attention to the things happening in Xiao'e's yard, I'm afraid I wouldn't know that there were so many dirty things hidden in that yard.

"Dad, why are you asking this for no reason? The old lady is always so kind to me. I must take care of her when she is in the hospital."

Lou Xiao'e didn't know what her father meant and thought that he felt that she would be tired from taking care of someone, so she started to act like a spoiled child.

Her parents love her the most, and as long as she asks nicely, they will definitely not stop her from taking care of the deaf old lady.

"Hey……"

Looking at his daughter like this, Lou Ruizhong couldn't help but sigh.

What the deaf old lady did was not a secret at all, and his people found out in just half a day.

If a person is so nice to Xiao'e and says he has no ulterior motives, no one will believe it.

Mother Lou frowned slightly and said in a gentle voice: "Xiao'e, you are already married, it is not your time to stay at home. You should also consider Damao's feelings when you take care of the old lady. Damao doesn't see anyone when he goes to work and comes home. What do you think he will think?"

Hearing this, Lou Xiao'e pouted her lips immediately and said unhappily, "Mom, did Xu Damao come to complain to you? He knows that I take care of the old lady. He just said this because he thinks the old lady doesn't help him. How can a grown man be so petty?"

"That's enough! Xiao'e, we really spoiled you. How could you say that about Xu Damao? No matter how bad he is, he is the one you will spend your whole life with. How can you live a good life if you say that about your man just for an outsider?"

Lou Ruizhong's eyes were filled with disappointment, and his voice unconsciously rose a few degrees.

He had never scolded his daughter loudly before, but what happened in the past two days made him do so.

Lou Xiao'e looked at her father in disbelief and said with grievance, "Dad, you yelled at me!"

She didn't think she had done anything wrong. The deaf old lady was nice to her, so she was also nice to the deaf old lady. Was there anything wrong with that?

Besides, when Xu Damao came to his parents to complain, she just complained, "What's wrong?"

"Xiao'e, your dad is doing this for your own good. Don't you realize that you are now very prejudiced against Damao? When you were getting married, mom could see that you really liked Damao. Think carefully about when things started to change. You've only been married for over half a year, and this is the time when you most wanted to stick together. You shouldn't be in this relationship now." Lou's mother gently guided Lou Xiao'e, wanting her to think things through first.

My daughter has always been protected by them and has never seen the evil nature of human nature. If I tell them directly, I'm afraid something bad will happen.

"I didn't... I am, I am..."

Lou Xiao'e denied it directly, but when she recalled the past few days, she couldn't find any reason to refute it.

She is not stupid, she just didn't pay attention to this matter before. After all, they have been living together, and the relationship has changed imperceptibly.

If her parents hadn't said it today, she would have had no idea that the relationship between her and Xu Damao had deteriorated so much.

When did this start...

It seemed that Xu Damao had never done anything to offend her, so why did she feel that Xu Damao was a bad person?

Seeing his daughter's confused look, Lou Ruizhong couldn't help feeling distressed. This was the daughter he had raised for eighteen years, and now she was being plotted against.

But after thinking it over again and again, he still didn't tell the deaf old lady what she did, but taught her softly: "Xiao'e, you have to understand that in this world, except for us, no one will treat you well for no reason. Some words, even if they are false, will become true if you hear them more often. You have to be more careful when living in the courtyard."

Hearing this, Lou Xiao'e asked in a daze, "Dad, Mom, do you know something?"

She had a vague answer in her mind, but was unwilling to admit it, so she could only look at her parents hopefully.

"Don't think too much. Remember what I said. Go back to the yard and watch more and talk less, and you'll know everything. Go back and have a good rest. You've lost weight in the past two days. Bring something back home tomorrow to replenish your body."

Mother Lou walked over to her daughter and sat down, holding her in her arms, patting her back and soothing her softly.

Seeing this, Lou Ruizhong hesitated for a moment, then got up and went into the study.

His wife is in charge of his daughter's affairs, so there won't be any problems for the time being. The most important thing for him now is to solve the current dilemma.

Perhaps because he was dealing with his daughter's affairs just now, he immediately thought of Zhou Weimin, and then smiled bitterly and shook his head.

He was really confused and anxious. No matter how well Zhou Weimin performed in front of Duan Weihong, he was just the deputy director of the canteen. How could he help him?

Perhaps what Zhou Weimin has seen so far is still a peaceful and tranquil scene, and he has no idea of ​​the undercurrents now.

It is better to make plans early. After handing over all the power in your hands, other things should also be dealt with as soon as possible.

Just in case, it is better to make preparations. If it doesn’t come to that point, you can buy back the things you sold later.
