Chapter 118 Asking for trouble
After all, Xu Damao was still young at that time, although he had learned some things about the relationship between men and women from the outside world.

I also crouched under the window of Jia's house and listened to the actual battle.
But in essence, he is still a simple boy.

He often pulls girls' hair, but never holds a girl's hand.

But today, he just came to Lou's house and listened to the girl who was said to be two years younger than him playing with cotton a few times, but he felt the bitterness of a broken heart.

This was something Xu Damao didn't expect.

After Xu Fugui expressed his loyalty to Lou Bancheng, he said goodbye.

Lou Bancheng did not think of trying to keep him. To him, Xu Fugui was not an important person. He just got used to him. That was all.

When the four members of the Xu family left the Lou family and reached the corner, the Xu family's father and son heaved a sigh of relief at the same time.

In this regard, Xu's mother is more concerned about Xu Fugui's affairs.

"How is it?" Xu's mother asked with concern.

Xu Fugui touched the non-existent cold sweat on his head, forced a smile and said, "It should be fine."

"That's good, that's good, Amitabha! May the Bodhisattva bless you." Xu's mother didn't care about the surprised looks of passers-by, but put her hands together and thanked the gods and Buddhas in the sky.

Just holding my daughter, but it's not very standard.

Neither the couple cared about Xu Damao, who remained silent with a gloomy look on his face.

Xu Damao was silent all the way, and when he got home, he sat at the table in a daze. It was not until the evening that Xu's mother realized that something was wrong with her son.

She reached out and touched Xu Damao's forehead, then put the back of his hand against her own forehead, and then asked curiously: "Da Mao, Damao, have you finished your homework?"

Xu Damao glanced around his home, but what came to his mind was the grandeur of the Lou family.

He curled his lips, this thing is simply incomparable.

Talking about love is rather unreal.

It should be said that it was at this age that Xu Damao first witnessed the so-called class gap.

Although this shock could not turn Xu Damao into a motivation to make progress, he was sure that he would live that kind of life one day.

Jia Dongxu lived a very comfortable life during this period.

He originally wanted to be independent and become the head of the Jia family without relying on Yi Zhonghai.

But the result was that he suffered a heavy loss. After the last investigation at the steel mill, he chose to surrender to Yi Zhonghai.

This kind of submission became a habit, and also allowed Jia Dongxu to find his own comfort zone.

No matter what difficulties you encounter at work or in life, you can turn to your master and his wife.

He also sought advice on other issues when he visited Jia Zhangshi, who reassured him that he could figure out those things after she came out.

For example, Yi Zhonghai's income

For example, the house of a deaf old lady,

……

When He Yuzhu came back, he bought a castrated chicken (Note ①) and washed it under the faucet.

However, a neighbor started to make a fuss: "Zhu Zi, have you made a fortune?

How can you bear to buy a chicken today?"

He Yuzhu smiled and said, "It's not a good thing, just a castrated chicken. Yushui wants to drink chicken soup."

The neighbor naturally had his reasons for asking this question. Yan Bugui spread the news in the yard that He Yuzhu went to cook for Director Wang's house today.

This neighbor probably wanted to test how much benefit He Yuzhu had gained.

But although He Yuzhu answered, he did not continue the conversation, which made the neighbor very upset.

After cleaning, He Yuzhu went straight home without any intention of chatting with this neighbor any more.

This is definitely offensive. But there are really few people in He Yuzhu's yard who can afford to offend him. The neighbor can only spit in hatred and whisper: "What is a castrated chicken showing off?"

There is nothing wrong with what he said. You can call it jealousy or something else.

In fact, the neighbors really wronged He Yuzhu in this matter.

If this neighbor was the only one in the yard, He Yuzhu would either ignore him or make sure the conversation was complete.

But Jia Dongxu and his wife were standing at the door of Jia's house, looking at this side, and Qin Huairu's eyes were almost fixed on the chicken.

Although the meat of a capon is not as chewy as that of a rooster, it is definitely fatter and they don’t like to move! The price is not cheap either.

He Yuzhu didn't expect that he just said a polite remark, but the Jia couple's faces changed completely.

It turns out that the Jia family is not without worries, and it's not about anything else, but the problem of children.

Only after Mrs. Jia Zhang took on most of the problems could Jia Dongxu relax and feel at ease.

But there were also some worries. For example, Jia Zhang had urged Qin Huairu more than once to give birth to a grandson for the Jia family.

The Qin family also said the same thing. In this matter, the interests of the two families are consistent.

Even Luo Qiaoyun had mentioned this matter to the young couple.

However, Yi Zhonghai never mentioned this matter. Even when Luo Qiaoyun said this, whether she was talking to Jia Dongxu or Qin Huairu, she avoided Yi Zhonghai.

But this kind of thing is also strange. It’s not that Jia Dongxu didn’t try hard, but Qin Huairu’s stomach just didn’t react at all.

This made the couple start to have some wild thoughts.

If there is a knot in your heart, you will become sensitive to what others say, that is, you cannot bear to hear certain words.

Just like what the neighbor said just now: "You are just a castrated chicken, why are you showing off?"

If He Yuzhu heard this, he would just smile and say nothing.

But to Jia Dongxu, it sounded like his neighbor was hinting at something.

This neighbor is called Ma San, a neighbor from the Central Courtyard. This is also the reason why He Yuzhu didn’t want to waste time talking to him just now.

If it was the front yard or the back yard, He Yuzhu would definitely be polite. But for the neighbors in the middle yard, He Yuzhu would just laugh.

There was no other reason. When He Daqing left and Jia Zhangshi stole things, the neighbors in the front and back yards didn't see it, so it was understandable.

But it is a bit hard to understand why the neighbors in the Central Court said they didn’t notice it.

It was because He Yuzhu only spoke half of the sentences and acted as if he didn't want to talk to him, which made Ma San feel embarrassed and his words became a little sarcastic.

It was not enough to just talk, he also looked around.

When he glanced at Qin Huairu's pretty face, he paused for two more seconds and smiled a smile that all men could understand.

If it were any other time, Jia Dongxu might not care. His wife is so beautiful, and he wouldn't care if others looked at her for a second.

But Ma San's words about castrating the chicken just now made Jia Dongxu a little upset.

Jia Dongxu didn't know much else, but he knew something about the fact that Yi Zhonghai was a castrator.

Now that Ma San said this, is there something hidden in his words?
To be honest, this is just Jia Dongxu's own idea.

Jia Dongxu held back on what he just said.

But Ma San was staring at his wife in such an obscene way that Jia Dongxu didn't want to tolerate it.

Jia Dongxu took off his shoes and threw them at Ma San, cursing: "Look at me, Ma San, you old man, are you asking for a beating?"

　Note ① Explanation: Castrating chickens has always been a common practice among the people.

　　That is, if there are too many roosters during hatching, just castrate them when they are young and break the eggs directly by squeezing them with your two thumb nails.

　　This kind of rooster is not active, grows fast, and has very plump meat. It has nothing to do with large-scale chicken farming.
