Courtyard House: She got anxious when He Yushui wasn't licked.

Hearing Wang Lin's arrogant words, the deaf old woman really wanted to report him to the neighborhood committee, but what grounds could she give? Wang Lin reporting a neighbor in the same courtyard? What if the neighborhood committee investigated, wouldn't that just bring trouble to Sha Zhu?

Wang Lin looked at the deaf old woman with a smile. Seeing that she was thinking, he mocked, "Like father, like son. If you had guided Sha Zhu properly, he wouldn't have been so tightly controlled by a widow and an old man without a son. People! Even when they are old, they are still so selfish. They must not have been good people when they were young."

The deaf old woman seemed to sense from Wang Lin's eyes that he knew some of her secrets. She then switched back to her feigned deafness and stopped bothering him. She had originally intended to use her status as an old lady in the courtyard to put Wang Lin in his place, but he didn't expect that Wang Lin wouldn't fall for it.

We are all family members of martyrs. If you're not convinced, then let's have a showdown!

The deaf old woman left with small, hesitant steps. She didn't dare ask Wang Lin for compensation for her cane, because whenever she saw Wang Lin's all-seeing eyes, she had a terrifying feeling that her secret had been exposed.

Wang Lin watched the deaf old woman leave, and he scoffed, "It's not that there are fewer bad people, it's that bad people have gotten old. What are you pretending to be an elder in front of me for?"

Back inside, Fang Yue got up and went over to ask, "Did you argue with the deaf old lady again?"

Wang Lin nodded and said, "This old guy just has nothing better to do than eat his fill all day."

Fang Yue agreed. She always felt that the deaf old woman was not a good person. She pretended to be deaf and dumb all day long, but she would come out of the mountains to teach a lesson to anyone who bullied Sha Zhu.

Just as Wang Lin was about to cook, Lou Xiao'e from the front yard ran in crying. She pounded on Wang Lin's door and called out, "Brother Wang Lin."

Fang Yue opened the door and saw Lou Xiao'e crying. She asked with concern, "Sister Xiao'e, what's wrong? Who bullied you?"

This was the first time Wang Lin had ever seen Lou Xiao'e cry so fiercely.

Lou Xiao'e wiped away her tears and said to Fang Yue and Wang Lin, "It's Xu Damao! He's having an affair!"

Fang Yue pulled Lou Xiao'e to sit down on the sofa and comforted her, "Sister Xiao'e, Xu Damao is obviously no good. Divorce him."

"Sister Xiao'e, did Xu Damao's mistress come looking for you?"

Wang Lin was not surprised at all. Xu Damao had many women outside, and every time he went to the countryside, he stayed at the homes of widows.

Lou Xiao'e said with red eyes, "Yes, it's Qin Jingru, Qin Huairu's cousin!"

Upon hearing Qin Jingru's name, Wang Lin knew, as expected, that he couldn't avoid the issue any longer; Xu Damao had still gotten involved with Qin Jingru.

Fang Yue looked at Wang Lin, she really didn't know how to advise him on this matter.

Wang Lin walked up to Lou Xiao'e and said calmly, "Sister Xiao'e, given Xu Damao's nature, if you don't divorce him, he will definitely cause a huge uproar and might even report your father."

Lou Xiao'e's father was nicknamed Lou Half-City because he was a very large capitalist.

If Xu Damao reports Lou Bancheng, he will definitely be arrested.

In the original drama, He Yuzhu helped the big boss because he cooked for him, and the big boss liked He Yuzhu's silly personality. Lou Xiao'e also wanted to thank He Yuzhu, so she had a wild night with him before leaving for Hong Kong with her parents, which led to the birth of He Xiao.

Wang Lin originally intended to ruin the marriage between Lou Xiao'e and He Yuzhu because He Yuzhu was not worthy of having a son. However, when he thought about how he would lose his fun without He Xiao'e, he wondered which of He Yuzhu's own son and the ungrateful Jia Banggeng he would choose.

"That beast Xu Damao! I'm going to find him!"

Lou Xiao'e couldn't sit still after hearing Wang Lin's words, so she got up from the sofa and ran out.

Wang Lin and Fang Yue exchanged a glance. Wang Lin said, "Xiao Yue, you stay home and help me look after my two younger sisters. I'll go check on them."

Fang Yue nodded. She also wanted to watch the excitement, but as a minor, it seemed she really couldn't get involved.

Wang Lin left the house and ran to the front yard.

The deaf old woman opened the door and came out again. She had just heard Lou Xiao'e crying as she came to the backyard looking for Wang Lin. Something must have happened. The deaf old woman had no cane, so she found a stick of about the same length to lean on as she went to the front yard.

In the front yard of Lou Xiao'e's house, Qin Jingru acted as the mistress of the house. After she was tricked away by Xu Damao, Xu Damao made all sorts of promises to her, even saying that he would divorce Lou Xiao'e and marry her.

Qin Jingru originally believed in Xu Damao, but after so many days of Xu Damao failing to fulfill his promise, she couldn't sit still any longer and came to meet Lou Xiao'e, the original wife, in person.

Lou Xiao'e didn't believe it at first, but after Qin Jingru mentioned that Xu Damao had a mole on his buttock, she realized that Xu Damao had cheated on her and betrayed her. That's why she was so angry that she ran to the backyard to find Wang Lin.

Looking at the house, Qin Jingru couldn't contain her joy; she would be the mistress of this home from now on.

When Lou Xiao'e returned, she looked at Qin Jingru and asked, "Where is that beast Xu Damao?"

Qin Jingru, sitting in a chair, replied, "At the factory, I think. I just left my yard this morning."

These words, though seemingly casual, almost made Lou Xiao'e lose her balance. Yesterday morning, Xu Damao said he was going to the countryside to show a movie, but it turned out he was going to find another woman!

When Wang Lin entered the house, he saw Qin Jingru sitting in a chair, acting like the lady of the house. He frowned and said, "Qin Jingru! This is Sister Xiao'e's house. Is it polite for you to sit inside and eat her melon seeds without her permission?"

When Qin Jingru saw that it was Wang Lin, she realized that she had once harbored countless fantasies about him. Unfortunately, under Xu Damao's sweet talk and deception, she couldn't resist giving herself to him. Now that she had no leverage left, she had no choice but to go down this dark path. She wanted to fight for her own interests and said, "Wang Lin, this is none of your business!"

Chapter 115 Of the three unfilial acts, the greatest is having no offspring.

Seeing the change in Qin Jingru, Wang Lin thought to himself, "Sure enough, what's ingrained in one's bones can't be changed."

Lou Xiao'e went up and pulled Qin Jingru up, saying, "Xu Damao and I haven't divorced yet, so it's not your place to be in charge of this family."

"What are you doing! Rude! No wonder Xu Damao doesn't want to touch you."

Qin Jingru was pulled up, and she was unhappy. She had come today to establish her authority. She wanted Lou Xiao'e to know that she was Xu Damao's new lover, while she was just an old hag in the house. Relying on her youth and beauty, she wanted to turn the tables and become the mistress of the house.

Lou Xiao'e was furious and pointed at the door, yelling at Qin Jingru, "Get out of here!"

Qin Jingru stubbornly insisted, "I'm not leaving. Xu Damao promised he would marry me."

When Lou Xiao'e tried to take action again, Qin Jingru objected, saying, "Why should I give in to you? Just because you're the first wife?"

Just as the two were about to fight, Wang Lin intervened, pulling the two women apart and saying, "What's the use of you two fighting over Xu Damao? He's probably just showing off."

These words really struck a chord with Lou Xiao'e. She had never cooked since she married Xu Damao, and she was once a pampered young lady who never lifted a finger.

Qin Jingru also agreed with Wang Lin. She couldn't let Xu Damao think that he couldn't live without her. She had to maintain her dignity and integrity, otherwise she would have a hard time in the future.

Wang Lin suggested to the two women, "Why don't we hold a general meeting of the entire college? Xu Damao's behavior is bound to be criticized and denounced. We can handle it internally."

Uncle Yi Zhonghai is quite idle, so let's find him something to do.

Wang Lin proposed holding a general meeting of the entire compound, and Lou Xiao'e agreed. She felt that the neighbors in the compound would definitely denounce Xu Damao and scold him!

Qin Jingru wasn't afraid. Since she was already in this situation, what did she have to fear about her reputation?

Now that both women have agreed, things will be much easier.

Outside Lou Xiao'e's door, the deaf old woman pricked up her ears to eavesdrop on what was happening inside.

At first, the deaf old lady planned to ruin Wang Lin's relationship and introduce him to Sha Zhu, but now that Xu Damao's mistress has come to the door, wouldn't Lou Xiao'e be more suitable for Sha Zhu?

In an instant, the deaf old woman's mind became active.

It's only noon, and everyone is still at get off work. Their jobs aren't as relaxed as Wang Lin's in the purchasing department.

Meanwhile, at the steel rolling mill, Xu Damao, after getting Qin Jingru, started to think about Yu Haitang again.

Little did he know, a huge surprise awaited him when he returned to the compound.

Time flew by and it was already afternoon before I got off work.

The factory workers all rushed home after get off work.

Xu Damao rode his bicycle back to the yard first, whistling happily.

As soon as he entered the courtyard and returned home, he saw Qin Jingru sitting in his room!

That moment terrified him!

When Qin Jingru saw Xu Damao, she enthusiastically went up to him and hugged his arm, acting all lovey-dovey.

Sitting in the chair, Lou Xiao'e glared at Xu Damao and sneered, "Well done, Xu Damao, the wild flowers are always more fragrant than the garden flowers."

Xu Damao knew his scheme had been exposed, but he remained calm and said, "Lou Xiao'e, we've been married for so many years, and you haven't laid a single egg. I have no choice; I, Xu Damao, need someone to inherit the family business. I hope you understand my situation. Of the three unfilial acts, the greatest is to have no offspring."

"What a fine saying, 'Of the three unfilial acts, the greatest is to have no offspring!'" Wang Lin walked in from outside carrying a bowl of noodles with gravy.

This bowl of braised noodles was for Lou Xiao'e. It was covered in large chunks of meat, so that she would have the energy to scold Xu Damao only after she was full.

"Wang Lin!" Xu Damao didn't expect this kid to come, especially since he was carrying a bowl of noodles full of meat.

"Sister Xiao'e, eat up, you'll need energy after you finish eating." Wang Lin handed the braised noodles to Lou Xiao'e.

"Okay, I'll eat it." Lou Xiao'e took the braised noodles and started eating. The meat was bite-sized, and the noodles were springy. It was delicious.

Xu Damao and Qin Jingru were completely dumbfounded. What kind of move was this?

It has to be said that the braised noodles that Wang Lin brought were incredibly delicious, with large chunks of meat and very generous portions of ingredients.

Qin Jingru swallowed hard; she really wanted to eat this braised noodle dish too.

Xu Damao also wanted to eat, but his pride as a man prevented him from speaking.

Wang Lin sized up Xu Damao and Qin Jingru, then shook his head, seemingly not having a high opinion of them.

When Xu Damao saw Wang Lin shake his head, he thought Wang Lin was still thinking about Qin Jingru. He pulled Wang Lin outside and said, "Brother Wang Lin, I really couldn't handle it. I'm really sorry. Don't worry, Qin Jingru will be your sister-in-law from now on."

Wang Lin looked completely bewildered and said, "What are you talking about! There's nothing between me and Qin Jingru, I have a girlfriend."

Xu Damao nodded and said, "I know, He Yushui."

Wang Lin shook his head and said, "No, my girlfriend's name is Zhang Jiao. I'll find a matchmaker to propose marriage on the first day of the Lunar New Year."

"Really?" This left Xu Damao completely confused. Had He Yushui and Wang Lin really broken up?

"Of course it's true, my girlfriend is so beautiful." Wang Lin's eyes were full of love.

"Alright then." Xu Damao didn't care how beautiful Wang Lin's girlfriend was. He was too busy taking care of himself right now. In order to avoid being scolded later, he tried to win over Wang Lin, saying, "Brother Wang Lin! You know, I'm not a child at my age. It's really undignified! You must stand on my side."

"Stop!" Wang Lin would not go along with Xu Damao. He made his position clear: "A man can make excuses for his mistakes, but if he doesn't even have the courage to admit them, is he still a man? If you're going to be beaten, stand up straight. I can't help you. On this matter, I stand with Sister Xiao'e."

"Just make sure Brother Wang Lin goes easy on you later."

Upon hearing this, Xu Damao's goodwill towards Wang Lin plummeted to its lowest point. He had been hoping to use Wang Lin to strengthen his own team, but unexpectedly, Wang Lin sympathized with Lou Xiao'e, that barren old hen.

"Don't worry, I won't join them in cursing you. Men understand men best!" Wang Lin gave him a knowing look, but he was actually up to no good. He planned to make Xu Damao lose face at the hospital-wide meeting later.

In the afternoon, Wang Lin took Lou Xiao'e to the hospital for a physical examination. Lou Xiao'e had no problems at all, and the issue of her inability to have children was obvious.

Lou Xiao'e was also holding this trump card; she wanted to make Xu Damao lose face in the courtyard and make him pay the price for his betrayal.

In the original drama, Qin Jingru was instigated by Qin Huairu to fake a pregnancy and obtain a false medical certificate, which enabled Xu Damao to successfully divorce Lou Xiao'e.

However, the plot has now changed. Qin Jingru has come directly to his door, completely deviating from the original storyline. Wang Lin naturally wants to seize this opportunity to completely ruin Xu Damao's career.

"That's good."

Xu Damao was relieved to hear that Wang Lin wouldn't curse him to the beasts in the yard.

Wang Lin didn't continue chatting with Xu Damao, but went inside to wait for Lou Xiao'e to finish her noodles.
