The Courtyard House: Xu Damao's Aunt is the Queen of Women

Xu Damao, Qin Shouhua, and Yi Zhonghai were already used to it, letting Sha Zhu curse as if it were just a dog barking.

Lou Bancheng, however, was getting a headache from Sha Zhu's harsh cursing and couldn't help but ask, "Sha Zhu, I don't understand. You've been deceived for so many years by Qin Huairu, that fickle, heartless, and shameless woman. She's treated you like a monkey, trampled on your dignity... no, she's never even treated you like a human being. Why do you still defend her?"

"A person cannot, and should not, be so shameless and despicable."

"Even a dog, if constantly abused and beaten by its owner, will eventually become alienated and run away. How come you become more and more stubborn the more you are humiliated?"

Lou Bancheng's expression was serious and earnest, but his words were like cold, sharp knives, piercing Sha Zhu's heart with countless holes.

The cell fell silent instantly, and everyone looked at Sha Zhu.

Just moments ago, Sha Zhu was raging with anger and cursing, but now he froze on the spot. The fierce look on his face faded inch by inch, replaced by a panicked and distorted expression of having his secret exposed.

His mouth trembled, his chest heaved violently, the veins on his neck bulged, and his eyes were bloodshot as he stared intently at Lou Bancheng, like a mad dog whose sore spot had been stepped on.

"You...you're talking nonsense!"

Sha Zhu roared suddenly, his voice hoarse and fierce but weak, trying to cover up his shame with rage.

"Qin Huairu isn't that kind of person. She's a woman raising three children on her own, and she also has to take care of that old hag Jia Zhangshi. Do you know how hard her life is? What's wrong with me helping her? I'm happy to!"

"What do you mean by being played? What do you mean by being despicable? I, Sha Zhu, am doing this willingly. I don't need you, Lou Bancheng, pointing fingers here!"

Lou Bancheng paused for a few seconds, then shook his head with a smile.

He got it!

Sha Zhu wasn't still hung up on Qin Huairu, nor was he obsessed; rather, his pitiful and pathetic pride was getting the better of him, causing him to deceive himself and avoid facing reality.

If Sha Zhu were to admit that Qin Huairu was playing him, treating him like a fool and manipulating him for so many years, wouldn't that prove that he was a real fool?

Others noticed it too.

He Daqing sneered, looking at Shazhu with disgust, and said, "You idiot, you're just too proud to admit it. You're being made a fool of, but you still pretend to be willing. I should have thrown you into the latrine back then, so you wouldn't embarrass the He family."

"You... He Daqing!"

Sha Zhu flew into a rage and pointed at He Daqing, cursing him loudly.

"You old beast, do you think I wanted to be your son? Bah! Go to hell! If I had a choice, I'd rather be the son of a stray dog ​​than be born into your He family!"

Everyone frowned, disgusted by Sha Zhu.

What kind of animal is this?

He Daqing smiled, not angry at all, because he had long since stopped treating Sha Zhu as his son.

"Heh, a bad seed is a bad seed. You're a stupid and wicked bastard, a lewd and despicable dog, a piece of trash even worse than a dog. It's because I, He Daqing, have a wicked heart and have committed many evil deeds that I gave birth to you, my son, as retribution."

"Luckily, I have a good daughter. She'll take care of me in my old age and see me off when I die, haha."

Sha Zhu was struck dumb, his mentality collapsed, and his defenses crumbled.

Chinese men spend their entire lives yearning for their fathers' approval!

He Daqing's judgment completely shattered Sha Zhu's twisted and perverse self-esteem.

"I...you...waaaaaah..."

Sha Zhu glared at He Daqing with bloodshot eyes, his emotions extremely agitated. He wanted to curse back, but couldn't utter a complete sentence, and ran away crying.

Everyone burst into laughter and gave He Daqing a thumbs up.

Xu Damao clapped his hands vigorously and praised with a smile, "Uncle He, no one knows a son better than his father. You're absolutely right. Sha Zhu is both stupid and wicked."

He Daqing snorted coldly.

"You, Xu Damao, aren't much better! There aren't many good people in our No. 95 compound!"

"..."

……

The next morning.

In the small room of the Liu family's house, Ye Juan sat up from the kang (a heated brick bed) rubbing her aching back. She glanced at Liu Hao, who was sleeping soundly next to her, and punched him twice.

Ouch... Liu Hao winced in pain, groggily opening his eyes and asking irritably, "Why did you hit me!"

"What do you think? Look at the bruises on my body! I told you to tie me loosely, loosely! You're treating me like a pig!"

Ye Juan cursed and threw off the blanket, revealing red marks crisscrossing her smooth, white skin.

It's clearly from being strangled by a rope!

Liu Hao chuckled awkwardly and pulled the little queen into his arms, saying in a serious tone, "Wife, we agreed before we started that what happens on the bed is fine, but you can't cause trouble off the bed. You have to follow the rules."

"Hehe, I didn't get off the kang (heated brick bed)!"

"..."

Liu Hao was speechless and decisively used his tried-and-true tactic: a kiss.

He held the little queen tightly with both hands and kissed her with a pout.

The little queen couldn't resist at all; her anger vanished in an instant, and she responded by hugging Liu Hao's neck.

The couple kissed for over ten minutes before finally separating. Ye Juan rolled her eyes, snuggled into Liu Hao's arms, and said sweetly, "Honey, I love you!"

"Honey, I love you too. Wake up, time for work, it's another beautiful day!"

"Hmm!"

Ye Juan sat up, put on her slippers by the kang (a heated brick bed), walked to the wardrobe, opened the door, took out a clean set of white underwear, put it on, and then hesitated about what color Zhongshan suit to wear.

Hanging in the solid wood wardrobe were rows of black, gray, and navy blue women's Zhongshan suits. Some of them were sent by Liu Hao's parents, while the rest were all handmade by her. She also made quite a few for Liu Hao, Ye Xi, and He Xiaomeng.

"Honey, what color Zhongshan suit would look good on me?"

"black!"

"Okay, then I'll wear black."

Ye Juan took out a black Zhongshan suit and put it on. She then opened the cabinet next to her and took out a dark gray Zhongshan suit for Liu Hao.

"Get up and wash up quickly. What do you want to eat this morning?"

"Let's cook noodles!"

"OK."

Ye Juan threw the clothes on the kang (a heated brick bed), turned around and went out.

Liu Hao slowly got dressed, walked to the living room, picked up a cigarette from the pack, lit it, and opened the door to the yard.

The sun was shining brightly, and the sky was clear and cloudless, but it was a bit cold!

Liu Hao stretched and was about to go to the toilet at the corner of the wall behind the small building when his ears twitched and he heard the sound of a jeep engine in the distance.

Are Ye Xi and He Xiaomeng back?

Liu Hao was overjoyed and quickly walked to the back of the courtyard gate, peeking out to look outside.

Two jeeps drove up and stopped in front of the gate. The doors opened, and Ye Xi and He Xiaomeng, looking exhausted with bloodshot eyes, got out, greeted the guards, and walked over carrying two silver-white suitcases.

"Xi-jie, Xiao-meng, didn't you two sleep last night?"

Liu Hao opened the courtyard gate, greeted him with a look of heartache, and took the suitcase from him.

"I'm so excited, I can't sleep at all! Look, Hao-ge!"

After He Xiaomeng finished speaking excitedly, she took out a copy of the People's Daily from her bag, unfolded it, and held it up for Liu Hao to see.
