Chapter 170 Fighting
In that courtyard full of stories, the waves of life have never subsided. Xu Damao has been like an angry bull recently, with red eyes and a mind full of resentment towards Sha Zhu.
Xu Damao always felt that Sha Zhu seduced Lou Xiao'e. In his heart, Lou Xiao'e was his wife and no one else could touch her. He recalled the changes in Lou Xiao'e recently. She became increasingly cold and absent-minded towards him. As for Sha Zhu, he was smooth-talking and liked to make some indecent jokes with the women in the courtyard. The more Xu Damao thought about it, the more certain he was that Sha Zhu must have used some tricks to make Lou Xiao'e want to divorce him.
That day, Xu Damao came back from an outing, and his doubts and anger made him walk hurriedly. When he passed by the deaf old lady's house, he heard a subtle sound coming from inside. An ominous premonition came to his mind, and he quietly approached with his ear pressed tightly against the door. The voices inside gradually became clearer, and they were clearly the voices of Sha Zhu and Lou Xiao'e. Xu Damao felt a "buzzing" in his head, as if he was hit by a heavy hammer. He clenched his fists tightly, and his nails almost dug into his flesh.
Xu Damao was so angry that he kicked the door open. The scene in front of him made him tear his eyes out. Sha Zhu and Lou Xiao'e were in the room. They looked at Xu Damao who suddenly broke in with astonishment. "Okay, you two dogs and bitches!" Xu Damao roared.
Sha Zhu quickly waved his hands and explained: "Xu Damao, you misunderstood, it's not what you think." Lou Xiao'e was so anxious that her face turned red: "Da Mao, listen to me, we were locked up here by the deaf old lady." Xu Damao was not willing to listen at all, he was convinced that the two were having an affair.
It turned out that the deaf old lady saw that Sha Zhu and Lou Xiao'e had been worried recently, so she wanted to find an opportunity for them to talk it out. Unexpectedly, this move was misunderstood by Xu Damao as a scene of catching an adulterer.
Everyone in the courtyard heard the noise and rushed over. The first uncle frowned as he looked at the chaotic scene, trying to persuade Xu Damao to calm down. The second uncle analyzed the possibility of the incident. The third uncle pushed his glasses, thinking.
Sha Zhu emphasized again that they were misunderstood, but Xu Damao simply didn't listen. Lou Xiao'e burst into tears, and she felt that she had no way to defend herself. In this courtyard, a storm caused by a misunderstanding has dragged everyone's life into it. And no one can predict when this storm will subside. But what is certain is that the story of the courtyard will continue, full of joy, anger, sorrow and happiness, and progressing layer by layer, like a picture scroll of life, constantly showing the complexity of human nature and the impermanence of fate.
"Siheyuan Storm" Everyone was talking about it. Some people thought Xu Damao was overreacting, while others suspected that there was really some secret between Sha Zhu and Lou Xiao'e. Xu Damao glared at Sha Zhu and Lou Xiao'e, gritting his teeth and saying, "You must give me an explanation today, otherwise this matter will not end." Sha Zhu sighed helplessly and said, "Xu Damao, I, Sha Zhu, am upright and honest. It's really not what you think. The deaf old lady locked us in this room to let us resolve the misunderstanding, but you barged in without knowing the truth." Lou Xiao'e sobbed and said, "Da Mao, there is really nothing between me and Sha Zhu. I'm just in a bad mood recently and I'm not interested in many things. How can you doubt me so much?" Xu Damao snorted coldly, "Bad mood? I think you are just obsessed with Sha Zhu." At this time, the deaf old lady came over with the help of everyone. The old lady said seriously: "Da Mao, you have wronged them. I saw that they both had something on their minds, so I wanted them to talk and untie the knot in their hearts. I didn't expect you to be so impulsive." Although Xu Damao still had doubts in his heart, he didn't dare to be too presumptuous in front of the deaf old lady. Seeing this, the first uncle took the opportunity to say: "Da Mao, calm down first. We can't just assume that they have problems based on speculation. We live in this courtyard and we must trust each other." The second uncle also nodded in agreement: "Yes, Damao. If you continue to make trouble like this, it will not be good for anyone." The third uncle analyzed: "Da Mao, think about it carefully. Don't you know what kind of person Lou Xiao'e is usually? How could she do such a thing?" Under the persuasion of everyone, Xu Damao's mood eased a little. But the knot in his heart was not completely untied. He glared at Sha Zhu fiercely and said, "Sha Zhu, I will trust you this time. But if you dare to get close to Lou Xiao'e again, I will never let you go." Sha Zhu rolled his eyes and said, "Don't worry, I, Sha Zhu, don't care about your wife." Lou Xiao'e wiped her tears and said to Xu Damao, "Da Mao, can you not be so impulsive in the future? Can't we live a good life?" Xu Damao was silent for a moment and nodded. Although the storm has temporarily subsided, the atmosphere in the courtyard has become a little subtle. The conflict between Sha Zhu and Xu Damao still exists, and Lou Xiao'e is also trying to repair her relationship with Xu Damao. The other people in the courtyard watched from the side, each with their own feelings. They know that in this small courtyard, the story of life will continue to unfold, and there will be more twists and turns and challenges waiting for them in the future.
The days of "Siheyuan Fengyun" flow slowly in a seemingly calm state, but the crack caused by misunderstanding is always looming. Xu Damao seems to have accepted everyone's persuasion, but his defense and hostility towards Sha Zhu in his heart have not diminished at all. He began to pay attention to Lou Xiao'e's every move. As long as Lou Xiao'e and Sha Zhu had even a little eye contact in the yard, Xu Damao's heart would surge with an unknown fire. As for Sha Zhu, he felt that he was wronged for no reason, and he was also holding back a grudge in his heart. He was not a man who could swallow his anger. Occasionally, when he encountered Xu Damao's suspicious eyes, he would always stare back and mutter a few words. Lou Xiao'e was caught between the two and was in a dilemma. On the one hand, she tried to prove her innocence to Xu Damao, but on the other hand, she felt that Xu Damao's overreaction made her very aggrieved. She tried to find an opportunity to have a good talk with Xu Damao, but Xu Damao was always sarcastic and didn't agree with her. One day, the Siheyuan organized a collective activity. Everyone cleaned the yard and tidied up the public area together. Sha Zhu and Xu Damao inevitably met again. At first, the two of them deliberately kept their distance, but in the process of working, they quarreled again because of the distribution of some tools. "Xu Damao, don't go too far! I obviously got the broom first." Sha Zhu said with his eyes wide open. Xu Damao was not to be outdone: "So what if you got it first? I need it now." The two of them talked back and forth, and their voices became louder and louder, and they were about to fight. Seeing this, Lou Xiaoe hurried over to persuade them: "Stop arguing, we are neighbors in the same yard, what is there to argue about."
