Siheyuan: After becoming a traitor, first let the Huai Ru River overflow its banks.

"He's really cunning and calculating."

Xu Damao suddenly felt like he had been caught doing something wrong.

"Xiao'e, listen to me, it's not what you think. It wasn't me who seduced Qin Huairu, it was Qin Huairu who seduced me..."

Lou Xiao'e was extremely disappointed in Xu Damao.

"Shut your stinking mouth."

"Then let me say something else. Why haven't we had a child for so long? I always thought it was my problem. I've urged you so many times, but you never went to get checked."

"Now I understand, you have infertility."

"You bastard Xu Damao, you scumbag! You've been playing me for so long. And I've always felt guilty, like I've let your Xu family down."

Lou Xiao'e's emotions completely erupted.

"Xu Damao, I want a divorce. You're really ruthless; you even reported me."

The interrogation continued on the second day.

After the first day of interrogation, the two men were tied together again. By observing their conversation, Li Jianjun found some clues.

Subsequently, Li Jianjun, Ma Sijiu, and Li Weiguo visited Lou Xiao'e's home, and through their investigation, the truth gradually came to light.

There were indeed still twenty small yellow croakers in Lou Xiao'e's house that had not been confiscated.

However, she hid it at her relative's house.

After learning about these circumstances, Li Jianjun decided to conduct separate joint interrogations of Lou Xiao'e and Xu Damao.

This time, it was Li Jianjun who interrogated Lou Xiao'e.

"Sister-in-law Xiao'e, just tell me the truth, how many small yellow croakers do you still have at home?"

“We learned through our visits that there are still twenty small yellow croakers that have not been handed over.”

"This doesn't even include the small yellow croakers you secretly hid at your relative's house."

Lou Xiao'e was terrified, because Li Jianjun was right. They did indeed have 20 small yellow croakers hidden in their home.

“Brother Jianjun, I beg you. This is my dowry that I brought from my family home. It has symbolic meaning.”

"I secretly hid it during the last raid."

"This time you'll forgive me, right?"

Looking at Lou Xiao'e, who was paralyzed, Li Jianjun couldn't bear to frighten her any further.

"Sister-in-law, please don't be like this. If you really want this dowry, I'll find a way to keep it for you."

"It's just that I'm afraid I won't be able to explain this to my superiors."

Li Jianjun expressed his concerns.

Lou Xiao'e was certainly aware of this relationship.

Even if Li Jianjun had complete control over the workers' picket team and the security department, it would be difficult for him to cover it up.

"Brother, please, please think of a way."

Li Jianjun decided to do Lou Xiao'e a favor.

"Don't worry, sister-in-law, I promise you I'll do it, and I definitely will."

Li Jianjun didn't help for nothing; Lou Xiao'e offered a suggestion so as not to put him in a difficult position.

"Or, you can just say there are two of these little yellow croakers. I'll give you half of the rest."

Lou Xiao'e looked at Li Jianjun and said.

"Leave me a little bit of the yellow croaker, just so I have something to look forward to."

Lou Xiao'e is now settling for second best.

The matter ended happily for everyone, and Li Jianjun decided to handle all the aftermath for Lou Xiao'e.

The final result was that Li Jianjun found two more small yellow croakers in Lou Xiao'e's house.

These two small yellow croakers were naturally handed over to the state.

The remaining small yellow croakers were split 50/50 between the two of them.

On the third day, the three decided to compile the interrogation records.

Li Jianjun deliberately falsified the interrogation record of Lou Xiao'e.

So in the end, Li Jianjun helped Lou Xiao'e keep the eighteen small yellow croakers a secret.

According to Li Jianjun, he doesn't need these small yellow croakers.

Because it was part of Lou Xiao'e's dowry.

From this point of view, Lou Xiao'e felt that Li Jianjun was truly a trustworthy person.

Moreover, he can help her in crucial moments.

Lou Xiao'e was not an ungrateful person; she gave Li Jianjun nine small yellow croakers.

"Brother, I always keep my word. If I say I'll give you half, I'll give you half."

Li Jianjun couldn't postpone it any longer, so he had no choice but to accept it.

"Sister-in-law, then I'll accept it."

"Alright then, I'll accept it."

Li Jianjun had no choice but to accept it; it was his reward for his hard work.

But I was very excited.

A small goldfish weighs at least 10 grams. In the 1960s, the price of gold was about 30 yuan per gram, so one small goldfish would cost 300 yuan. Nine goldfish would cost 2700 yuan.

In this day and age, 2700 yuan is a huge sum of money.

Even if we take the highest-paid old man, Yi Zhonghai, for example, who earns 100 yuan a month, that's only 1,200 yuan a year.

This is his salary for two and a half years.

Not to mention that the wages of ordinary workers are only one-third of his.

The wages of an ordinary worker would take six years.

"Sister-in-law Xiao'e, you'd better think carefully about what I told you before. Xu Damao is no good person."

Lou Xiao'e nodded.

"Brother, you're right. I'll think about it carefully."

Lou Xiao'e didn't expect that before she could even bring up the topic of divorce with Xu Damao, he would take the initiative to ask her for a divorce.

Lou Xiao'e was released.

These past few days have felt like a dream. When she arrived at her doorstep, she saw Xu Damao standing there.

There was a bag in front of him.

"Lou Xiao'e, I've packed all your things, they're all here."

"Take your household registration book tomorrow, and let's go together to process the divorce."

Lou Xiao'e was speechless.

It was clearly Xu Damao who ruined her life, and now he's asking for a divorce.

However, Lou Xiao'e had already seen through Xu Damao's true colors, and there was nothing left for her to miss.

"Fine, you can't have children. I was just thinking of divorcing you. I need to make this clear."

"Even if we get divorced, don't pin the blame on me. You need to go to the hospital for a checkup so everyone can see for themselves. Who is it that can't have children, you or me?"

Chapter 61 Lou Xiao'e's Resilience

Xu Damao never expected that Lou Xiao'e would ask such a question.

He is infertile, which is a secret he keeps to himself, even from his own parents.

Xu Damao secretly went to the hospital for a checkup, and the results showed that his sperm did not liquefy, in other words, he was infertile.

This is a very shameful thing for a man. He kept it a secret from Lou Xiao'e, his parents, and everyone in the courtyard.

I thought it was a secret that could be kept hidden forever.

Even his parents and the people in the courtyard believed that it was Lou Xiao'e's infertility that was the problem, not Xu Damao's.

Now that they're getting a divorce, Lou Xiao'e has actually brought up this question.

Xu Damao, of course, could not agree.

"What are you trying to do? Lou Xiao'e, we're getting a divorce anyway, why should I give you the test results?"

Xu Damao felt a little guilty about what he said.

Lou Xiao'e seized on this point and went on to say more.

"Fine, as long as you don't provide the test results, I won't divorce you. Then you can wait to be implicated by the Lou family a second time."

Lou Xiao'e remained remarkably calm; perhaps it was Li Jianjun's words that provoked her.

People who are good are bullied by others, and horses who are good are ridden by others.

She used to be innocent and kind, and was bullied by people in the courtyard.

Once, she bought a pair of shoes for a deaf old lady, thinking they were for her, but they ended up on Sha Zhuzi's feet.

In other words, the deaf old lady schemed against him, making him buy shoes for Sha Zhu.

I am Qin Huairu. Perhaps she was also plotting against him, getting him to provide financial assistance to the Jia family.

Now even her husband, Xu Damao, is scheming against her. Despite being unable to have children, he insists on pinning the blame on her.

"Take my things back, and I won't divorce you."

Lou Xiao'e's actions completely shocked Xu Damao.

Previously, although Lou Xiao'e was loud and domineering at home, she was always manipulated by Xu Damao.
