1959Siheyuan, a Turnaround

Chapter 325 Ending

Along the way, Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e were tender and affectionate and full of love.

Soon, the two arrived outside the Lou family's courtyard.

Lou Xiaoe stopped, turned around and said to Xu Damao softly, "Damo, wait for me outside for a while. I'll go back to get the money."

There was a hint of tenderness and determination in her eyes.

Xu Damao nodded and stood quietly by the wall outside the yard.

Lou Xiao'e walked into the yard quietly. In fact, it was not difficult for her to take out four hundred yuan.

On weekdays, her pocket money was quite generous, plus with the New Year's money she received during festivals, she had saved almost 800 yuan.

She saved all the money and never spent it carelessly.

What I said in front of Xu Damao just now was just to follow the instructions of Lou's father, to keep a low profile in front of outsiders.

And now, she has already identified Xu Damao and is determined to help him.

After a while, Lou Xiao'e came out hurriedly with the money.

She walked up to Xu Damao and handed him the money, her eyes full of love, which seemed to be able to melt everything.

She still advised with concern: "Da Mao, it's a good thing that you want to make money, I support you. But you must ensure your own safety, and don't get caught for speculation before we get married."

Xu Damao took the money, and at that moment, his hands trembled slightly.

He held Lou Xiao'e's hand tightly and promised solemnly: "Xiao'e, don't worry! I will be careful. I do this for our future. I want to give you a better life."

Lou Xiao'e was deeply moved when she heard Xu Damao's words.

Her eyes were curved with smile, and that shy smile was like a flower blooming in spring, beautiful and moving.

The two stood outside the Lou family's courtyard. Although they were reluctant to leave, they knew they had to separate at this moment.

Xu Damao held Lou Xiao'e's hand tightly, his eyes full of affection and determination. He said again: "Xiao'e, don't worry, I will ask my family to make arrangements to marry you as soon as possible."

As Lou Xiao'e listened to his assurance, her cheeks flushed and she nodded gently, with anticipation glittering in her eyes.

Her heart was now completely tied to Xu Damao, and she longed to become his bride as soon as possible and spend her life with him.

Finally, after another affectionate look at each other, the two reluctantly let go of each other's hands.

Xu Damao held the four hundred yuan in his hand and breathed a long sigh of relief.

These four hundred dollars were like a life-saving straw to him at this moment.

He thought to himself that with this money, he would no longer have to worry about Yi Zhonghai revealing his affair with Qin Huairu.

He secretly regretted that he shouldn't have provoked Qin Huairu in the first place.

After he gave the remaining money, he would stay away from Qin Huairu from then on.

The moonlight was hazy, and its clear light cast a thin layer of silver gauze over everything in the yard.

After dinner, Xu Damao hurried towards the Jia family with the 400 yuan borrowed from Lou Xiao'e.

His figure seemed a little hurried under the moonlight, and every step seemed to be filled with deep resentment and helplessness.

Along the way, he kept cursing Qin Huairu in his heart, thinking that he was badly cheated by this widow this time.

Arriving at the door of the Jia family, Xu Damao took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. He raised his hand and knocked on the door of the Jia family.

Inside the door, Qin Huairu was smiling as she watched the two children playing and laughing in the house.

Today she got a formal job and was in a particularly good mood, as if she had hope for her future life and the future was full of hope. She was filled with positive energy.

However, the sudden knock on the door broke the warm atmosphere in the house.

"Who?"

Qin Huairu asked doubtfully, standing up and walking towards the door.

When she opened the door and saw Xu Damao standing at the door, the smile on her face froze instantly, replaced by a hint of unnaturalness.

Her heart skipped a beat, and the scene of her and Yu Zhonghai plotting against Xu Damao last night suddenly came to her mind.

Although she felt that she was doing this for her life, to avoid future troubles, and to pay back Sha Zhu's money as soon as possible, she couldn't help but feel a little guilty when facing Xu Damao.

"Da Mao, you are here, come in and sit down."

Qin Huairu quickly adjusted her mood, smiled, and tried to break the awkward atmosphere.

Xu Damao followed him into the house and looked at Qin Huairu coldly. His eyes were full of anger and disgust, as if Qin Huairu was the person he least wanted to see in his life.

"Qin Huairu, I don't want to sit down! You know exactly why I'm here! You should ask the old man to come over and settle yesterday's matter. From now on, we should go our separate ways and not provoke each other!"

Xu Damao said through gritted teeth, his voice trembling slightly with anger.

Qin Huairu lowered her head slightly and said softly, "Da Mao, I know you are unhappy about that matter, but I didn't expect it to turn out like this."

There was a hint of helplessness and grievance in her voice as she tried to defend herself.

"You didn't expect it? I haven't thought about it yet!"

Xu Damao was immediately furious. He took a step forward and approached Qin Huairu. "Widows are unlucky. Nothing good will happen if I get involved with you! I am so unlucky that I have anything to do with you!"

His eyes were wide open, veins popped out on his forehead, and he looked so angry that it was as if he wanted to eat Qin Huairu alive.

Qin Huairu's face turned red after hearing what he said. She subconsciously took a step back and clenched her hands tightly together.

She knew that she had really offended Xu Damao this time, but she had no other choice for the sake of her survival.

She raised her head and looked at Xu Damao, with a hint of stubbornness in her eyes: "Da Mao, I didn't expect that the old man would..."

Xu Damao waved his hand impatiently and interrupted her: "Okay, stop telling me these useless things. Go and call the uncle over and get this over with. I don't want to stay in this unlucky place of yours for even one more second!"

After saying that, he sat down on the stool, breathing heavily.

Qin Huairu sighed helplessly. She knew that it was useless to say more, so she could only turn around and walk towards the old man's house.

She was in a very complicated mood. Although it was not her intention that things turned out like this, she also felt helpless.

A few minutes later, Qin Huairu hurried back to the Jia family with Yi Zhonghai, who had a serious face.

Xu Damao had been unable to sit still in the room for a long time. The moment he saw Qin Huairu and Yi Zhonghai come in, he immediately stood up, took out the four hundred yuan from his pocket without hesitation, and placed the stack of money heavily on the table.

"Uncle, here are the remaining 400 yuan. Please count them carefully. This time, I, Xu Damao, admit defeat. From now on, I promise to stay away from Qin Huairu. I also hope that you will keep your promise and never mention this matter again."

Yi Zhonghai looked at the pile of money, his eyes brightened unconsciously, and a hint of imperceptible joy flashed in his eyes.

But his expression remained calm, and he said in a deep voice: "Of course, this matter ends here, and no one will mention it again."

Xu Damao didn't want to stay any longer. He glared at Qin Huairu fiercely, then turned and left, his steps so hurried as if he was fleeing from a plague place.
