Siheyuan's Journey Through the Ages

Chapter 74 Target Analysis

In the next few days, Ma Qing occasionally showed up at Xu Damao's house, but every time he brought Xu Damao some delicious food and drinks. Although Ma Qing spent the least time with him, if you were to say who Xu Damao was most grateful to, it would definitely be Ma Qing.

For Ma Qing, what he contributed was just a drop in the bucket. Instead, he completely gained Xu Damao's trust, which was a win-win situation for both parties.

Ma Qing calculated the time and thought that Xu Damao should have passed the period of denial and weakness, and now he should be in the period of confusion. It would be up to the great life mentor to save this lost lamb and point out a glorious path for Xu Damao.

At Xu Damao's house, with a "bang", Xu Damao drank the wine in the glass in front of him again and started complaining to Ma Qing.

"I really regret it. If I had listened to you earlier and handled this matter calmly, it wouldn't have come to this." I didn't expect Xu Damao to be so pretentious after drinking some wine.

"Oh, I don't know the inside story either. If I had known that you were in this situation, Brother Mao..." Ma Qing found the right opportunity to stab him. He was indeed a bit abnormal psychologically, and Xu Damao's expression became a little unnatural.

Ma Qing took a sip of wine and sighed, "Of course, I completely understand why you don't say it out loud. I'm a man after all." Xu Damao's face darkened.
"If I knew the truth, I would definitely remind you to find Yan Jiecheng to keep your mouth shut and never tell anyone about it. But it's too late now." Ma Qing not only stabbed Yan Jiecheng in the back, but also exposed him. This courtyard does not need neighbors with good relationships, let alone united neighbors.

As expected, Xu Damao's mood was very erratic during this period. "I regret it too. I told Yan Jiecheng and the others about it when we were drinking. After you and I analyzed it, I felt that Yan Jiecheng and the others were not so tight-lipped anyway, so I had no choice but to throw the pot into the ground."

This is actually easy to understand. When people encounter setbacks, they always blame the world, their parents, and their friends, but they will also find reasons and excuses for themselves.

"Let's not talk about this anymore, Ma Qing. Tell me what I should do next?" Seeking medical help from all sources is one of the complications of Xu Damao's condition.

“Whatever happens, pick yourself up and start again. A better tomorrow needs you to create it with your own hands.” Ma Qing gave us a tube of super concentrated chicken soup for the soul.

"..." Xu Damao was speechless. "You know what I mean. I mean that the news of my infertility must have spread. I'm afraid it will be difficult for me in the future."

"Brother Damao, I'm not kidding you. If you don't cheer up in your current situation, then you're not in trouble, but you're doomed." Ma Qing said seriously, "As for what you mean, I understand, isn't it just a matter of a man and a woman forming a family? Do you want me to analyze it for you in detail?"

"Hurry up and tell me. I'm completely blind now and have no idea how to face my future life." Xu Damao was anxious.

"First, since you are still thinking about the future, then work hard." Ma Qing habitually stretched out a finger.

"Second, marry Qin Huairu." Ma Qing made a gesture, but Xu Damao definitely didn't understand this kind of humor.

"..." Xu Damao was so shocked that the wine in his mouth spurted out. "Marry the widow Qin?" Xu Damao's eyes widened and he looked at Ma Qing.

Ma Qing dodged and said, "Why, Brother Damao is not happy? Forget it, just pretend I didn't say anything."

"No, no, no, don't be angry, brother. I'm just surprised. I don't mean anything else. Just keep talking."

Ma Qing did not comment and continued: "What I am going to say next may sound unpleasant, but it is the truth. Brother Damao, please don't blame me."

"Everyone in this area should know about your current situation, so I won't say more. Basically, it's impossible for you to find a girl in Beijing."

"Even if you find it, can you keep it if you don't have a child?"

"Even if you hold on, but you are old and childless, and no one is filial to you, can you bear it?"

"What if your future daughter-in-law accepts not having children when you get married, but then regrets it?"

"If she changes her mind and secretly has a baby with another man, in your situation, everyone will know that you are being cuckolded."

"Even if your future daughter-in-law is of high character, if you adopt one, when the child grows up, your situation won't reach his ears, and the fact that he was adopted won't be exposed?"

"You are infertile, but your wife can. But can you bear the loss of your position in the family?" "With your infertility, even if you find a wife, what kind of wife will she be? Don't you have any idea?"

Having said that, Ma Qing picked up the cup, took a sip, ate a peanut, and said nothing more.

"Please keep talking, Brother Ma Qing. You are my uncle. Please, keep talking."

Ma Qing put down the cup and said, "I have said so much, now it is time for you to think about whether what I said makes sense."

"That makes sense. That makes sense." Xu Damao nodded repeatedly.

"You have two choices now. One is to leave the city and go to a place where no one knows you. Keep your secret and live like a new person. But ten or twenty years later, what I just said will still happen."

Ma Qing used conversation skills. If Xu Damao left, what he said just now would not be exactly the same. It was just a lie, not shameful. "Brother Damao, are you willing to leave Sijiucheng?"

"That's definitely not possible. I would be crazy to leave the capital. I work in a steel mill and I have a house in the backyard." Xu Damao shook his head like a fan.

"Then isn't the path I pointed out to you a clear path, brother? Marrying Qin Huairu should be the best choice for you in your current situation." Ma Qing emphasized his tone.

"What do you mean?" Xu Damao's eyes were a little vague. Ma Qing felt that Xu Damao's mind was probably filled with Qin Huairu's body.

"Let me analyze it for you. You and the Jia family have been neighbors for so many years. You all know each other well and have many overlapping relationships. You must maintain your dignity. No matter what happens in the future, compared to marrying someone else, is your marriage relationship more secure?"

"reliable"

"Over the years, Qin Huairu's character, ability, and dedication to the family are obvious to all. Isn't she a first-class daughter-in-law?"

"That's unquestionable"

"Qin Huairu is now working at the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill. How is this job?"

“A first-class job”

"Qin Huairu is thirty years old this year, a little older than you, but do you think she's a good match for you?"

“No problem at all”

"Do you like Qin Huairu's current appearance, figure, and temperament?"

"hey-hey"

"Is the Jia family's house bigger than yours? Would you be at a disadvantage? Then you two will live in your house, and the children will live in the Jia family. Would you be happy?"

"hey-hey"

"Qin Huairu already has three children now, do you think she wants to have another one?"

“That shouldn’t be thought of.”

After saying so much, Ma Qing's mouth was dry. Xu Damao watched from the side and quickly poured a glass of water and presented it respectfully with both hands.

You really didn't vote at all. Come on, big brother, please vote.
