Chapter 168 I... I do
"Xu Damao, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but this woman needs to be coaxed. Look at Sha Zhu, how good he is to his wife. If you were half as good to Lou Xiao'e as you are to Sha Zhu, she wouldn't have divorced you." Qin Huairu deliberately brought up Sha Zhu to see Xu Damao's reaction.
Sure enough, upon hearing Sha Zhu's name, Xu Damao's face changed. He snorted coldly and said, "Sha Zhu? He is just a sucker. He was sold and still helped others count money! With his salary, he can barely support himself, let alone support a wife. Dream on!"
Qin Huairu was secretly happy. It seemed that Xu Damao still cared about her. As long as he was angry, she would have a chance.
"Xu Damao, what you said is not right. Although Sha Zhu's salary is not high, he is good to his wife. Look at his wife, she dresses up beautifully every day. Unlike me, I worry about these children all day long." Qin Huairu said with red eyes, looking pitiful.
Xu Damao hated to see women cry, so he panicked and comforted her: "Huai Ru, don't cry. I'm not saying you're bad. You're a virtuous woman, a good woman to live with. You're not like some women who are lazy and always think about divorcing men!"
"Xu Damao, you...do you really think I'm a good woman?" Qin Huairu raised her head and looked at Xu Damao with tears in her eyes. That look made Xu Damao feel itchy in his heart.
"Of course, Huairu, you are a well-known good woman in the hospital. Whoever marries you will be blessed!" Xu Damao said solemnly.
"But...but I'm already a widow with three children. Who would be willing to marry me?" Qin Huairu lowered her head and said in a choked voice.
"Who said no one is willing to marry you? I...I do!" Xu Damao blurted out in a rush.
"You...what did you say?" Qin Huairu raised her head and looked at Xu Damao in disbelief.
"I...I said I am willing to marry you! Huairu, I like you. I have liked you since you first got married into the courtyard!" Xu Damao plucked up the courage, grabbed Qin Huairu's hand, and said affectionately.
Qin Huairu's heart skipped a beat. She had never thought that she could actually hook up with Xu Damao. It seemed that this man was even more stupid than she thought!
Qin Huairu's heart was pounding.
Hooked! She lowered her head shyly and reached out to gently touch the back of Xu Damao's hand. The fingers with long nails were like cat claws, tickling Xu Damao.
"Huai Ru, don't worry, I will treat you well and will not let you and the children suffer any grievances!" Xu Damao was so bewildered by Qin Huai Ru that he wished he could marry her home immediately.
Just then, a knock on the door interrupted Xu Damao's "affectionate confession".
"Who is it?" Xu Damao asked impatiently, cursing in his heart that it was such a bad time to knock on the door.
"Da Mao, it's me, the second uncle." Liu Haizhong's signature official tone came from outside the door.
When Xu Damao heard that it was Liu Haizhong, he immediately lost interest. This old guy usually likes to put on airs and would definitely not come to see him if there was nothing wrong.
"This old guy, why does he come to my place when he can just retire at home?" Xu Damao muttered as he opened the door.
Liu Haizhong was dressed particularly smartly today, wearing a washed-out Zhongshan suit, his hair combed sleekly, and holding a bottle of Erguotou in his hand.
"Hey, second uncle, what brings you here?" Xu Damao asked with a wry smile.
"Da Mao, I heard that you and Xiao'e had some trouble, so I came to see you." Liu Haizhong said with a smile, but his eyes glanced into the room intentionally or unintentionally.
"Oh, don't mention it. That woman is ungrateful and insists on divorcing me. Can I stop her?" Xu Damao acted like a victim, but he was thinking in his mind how to get rid of Liu Haizhong.
"Da Mao, I'm not saying anything bad to you, but women need to be coaxed. Look at Sha Zhu, how good he is to his wife..." Liu Haizhong was about to start his "life teachings" when he was interrupted impatiently by Xu Damao.
"Second uncle, can you please stop mentioning Sha Zhu? I am not like him!" Xu Damao said unhappily.
"Why are they different? I think they are all the same. We are all men in the courtyard. Who doesn't have a temper?" Liu Haizhong said, and put his arm around Xu Damao's shoulders and pushed him into the house. "Come on, come on, let's talk inside, let's talk inside."
Xu Damao couldn't persuade Liu Haizhong, so he had to invite him into the house.
As soon as Liu Haizhong entered the room, he saw Qin Huairu sitting at the table, and his eyes lit up immediately. Although Qin Huairu was the mother of three children, she still had her charm, and compared to Lou Xiaoe, who was as thin as a stick, she had a different flavor.
"Hey, isn't this Huairu? Long time no see, you're getting more and more beautiful!" Liu Haizhong greeted Qin Huairu with a smile. That look made Qin Huairu feel creepy.
"Second uncle, please don't laugh at me." Qin Huairu forced a smile.
"Second uncle, what on earth are you doing here today?" Xu Damao asked impatiently.
"It's okay, it's okay. I'm just thinking about you young people and want to care about your lives." Liu Haizhong said, putting the Erguotou in his hand on the table, "Come on, Damao, have a drink with me."
Although Xu Damao was unhappy, he also knew that Liu Haizhong would not come to him for no reason and must have something to ask of him.
"Okay, Uncle Er, I'll have a drink with you." Xu Damao took the bottle and poured a glass of wine for Liu Haizhong.
Liu Haizhong picked up the wine glass, drank it all, then put it down, cleared his throat, and said, "Da Mao, I heard..."
Before Liu Haizhong could finish his words, there was another hurried knock on the door, interrupting him.
"Who is it? It's the middle of the night. Can't we just keep quiet?" Xu Damao walked to the door angrily, opened it, but froze in his tracks.
"Chu Tian? Why are you here?"
The person standing at the door was actually Chu Tian!
Xu Damao sobered up immediately and forced an awkward smile on his face: "Chu Tian, why are you here so late?"
Chu Tian ignored Xu Damao and walked straight into the house. His eyes swept across the house and finally fell on Qin Huairu, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
Qin Huairu felt a little uncomfortable being looked at by Chu Tian. She lowered her head slightly, but it couldn't hide her mature charm.
"I'm here to talk to Sister Huairu about something." Chu Tian said lightly, with a hint of unquestionable majesty in his tone.
When Xu Damao heard this, he was immediately unhappy. What did this guy mean? He was trying to poach people right in front of him?
"Chu Tian, don't go too far! Huairu is my wife, what do you want with her?" Xu Damao said with his neck stiff, looking fierce but weak.
Chu Tian sneered, walked up to Xu Damao, and looked down at him: "Who do you think you are? Are you worthy of calling me master?"
