Siheyuan: the beginning to realize the freedom of cooking

Xu Damao trotted all the way to the nearest public phone booth.

Xu Fugui and his wife are now living in Aunt Xu's family.

I made a call to the public phone booth in the alley nearest to my grandmother's house, and waited patiently.

After a while, Xu Fugui and his wife came to the other end of the phone, and Xu Fugui answered the phone.

"Dad, good news! Mrs. Jia Zhang gave me the invoice just now. Widow Qin did go to the hospital this morning to abort the child." Xu Damao said happily on the phone.

Xu Fugui was excited when he heard this: "Really?! Have you read it carefully?"

As he said that, he nodded towards Aunt Xu who was beside him, and opened his mouth to make a mouth shape: knocked out.

"Dad, it's absolutely true. It's the red badge of Xiehe Hospital. This invoice cannot be forged with Widow Qin's ability." Xu Damao swore.

"Da Mao, that's great. We won't go back to the courtyard, but stay at your grandmother's house. If Widow Qin and the old godly woman come to the door again, you will block us." Xu Fugui ordered.

"Okay, then leave the rest to me." Xu Damao readily agreed.

After hanging up the phone, Xu Fugui finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The past few months have been really unpleasant, and now it is finally clean.

Aunt Xu glanced at Xu Fugui, her voice choked with sobs: "It's all solved?"

"It's settled, I was wrong, I dare not provoke this family again."

Xu Fugui admitted that he was really wrong this time, and it was outrageously wrong.

He paid for his outrageousness.

The husband and wife moved out of the courtyard quietly.

Day two.

Qin Huairu's plans clanged loudly.

No matter what, Xu Fugui should give himself the remaining 150 yuan.

Counting that the time was almost up, she asked Jia Zhang to block the door of Xu's house.

When Xu Damao came home, he saw Mrs. Jia moved a stool and sat at his door.

"Xu Damao, where's the remaining 150 yuan? Give it to me!" When Jia Zhang saw Xu Damao, he stood up.

Xu Damao glanced at Jia Zhang, and said with a sneer, "What do you want me to do with this money? It's not that I made your daughter-in-law's belly bigger!"

When Jia Zhang heard this, she frowned and said, "Where's your father? Where's Xu Fugui?"

Why did Xu Damao's attitude change after a day of hard work?

"I don't know." Xu Damao opened the door, wanting to enter the room and ignore Jia Zhang.

Jia Zhang rushed forward, blocked the door, and said sharply: "You are his son, how could you not know where he is?"

Xu Damao looked at Jia Zhang sternly: "Aunt Jia, I count to three, you get out of my way, or I will attack!"

Jiazhang has always been soft and afraid of hard, seeing Xu Damao suddenly became fierce, he couldn't help feeling a little scared.

So she obediently gave way, but she didn't relax her mouth: "This is obviously Xu Fugui's promise. If he is not here, you will pay for him. It is only natural for the father to pay the debt."

Xu Damao sneered, and looked at Jia Zhang as if he was joking.

"Aunt Jia, your family is crazy about money! Father's debt is paid by the son?! Do you think this is still a feudal society? How many years have passed since the Manchu Qing Dynasty perished, and you still talk about feudalism! New China is about law Yes, it’s not what you want. If you want to find my father, I can’t control this matter.”

After all, Xu Damao ignored Mrs. Jia and Zhang, went into the room and closed the door.

"Bah! Xu Damao! I really have you! I don't believe I can't wait for Xu Fugui to come back!"

Standing outside the door, Jia Zhang was so angry that he jumped and cursed.

Tired of scolding for a while, Mrs. Jia Zhang saw that no one paid any attention, so she went back angrily.

After returning, he told Qin Huairu who was resting on the bed what he had said with Xu Damao.

"What? Xu Damao really said that?" Qin Huairu was also surprised when he heard this.

"Yes, that's the truth, let us find Xu Fugui ourselves, he has nothing to do with it." Jia Zhang said through gritted teeth.

Qin Huairu was silent when he heard the words, thought for a while, and suddenly asked: "Did Xu Fugui and his wife come back last night?"

Jia Zhang shook her head when she heard the words: "After I gave the invoice to Xu Damao yesterday, I didn't care about it. I don't know if he has come back."

"Mom, you can go and have a look tomorrow morning, I think this is a bit weird." Qin Huairu suddenly frowned and said.

"What?" Seeing Qin Huairu's expression, Jia Zhang became nervous.

"Don't you think? Xu Fugui agreed too quickly that day! With his past behavior, how could he agree so easily?!" Qin Huairu said, secretly thinking that he was still careless.

When dealing with people like Xu Fugui, one should not see the rabbits but not the eagles.

"Huairu, what you said is really suspicious! With such a large amount of money, the couple didn't even have time to discuss it. Xu Fugui agreed and agreed." Aunt Jia also realized that something was wrong.

"Mom, that's the only way to do it now. Let's see if Xu Fugui is back tomorrow."

Qin Huairu took a deep breath, thinking that it was not good.

Early the next morning, Mrs. Jia Zhang went to Xu's house to look around.

In the backyard, I met the second aunt who was drying the sheets in the yard.

"Second aunt, Xu Fugui and his wife were still not at home yesterday?"

The second aunt took a look at Jia Zhang and said, "They, I haven't seen them for several days. Since the day you made a fuss in the yard, that is, the day after you knocked out my old man's teeth, it really hasn't been much. I saw the two of them appearing in the yard, but Da Mao was still coming in and out."

When Jia Zhang heard the words, he secretly thought that it was broken.

Immediately turned around and ran into the house.

"Huairu, it's broken!!" Jia Zhang pushed open the door and shouted to Qin Huairu who was lying on the bed.

When Qin Huairu got nervous, she immediately sat up: "What's the matter?"

"Second mother said that I haven't seen Xu Fugui and his wife for several days." Jia Zhang was anxious, and wiped the sweat from his forehead: "I'll go to another house to ask."

Qin Huairu nodded, and her face darkened.

What does this Xu Fugui mean?
This is gone?

So, Jia Zhang turned around and rushed into the middle courtyard, and went to knock on the door of the neighbor's house.

Jia Zhang was the first to pat on Shazhu's door.

Silly Zhu, who was still asleep, was awakened by the knock on the door, and wanted to get up and scold his mother.

So, he rubbed his eyes sleepily and opened the door.

Seeing the anxious looking Jia Zhang standing outside the door, he complained with disgust: "Aunt Jia, what are you doing this early in the morning?"

"Sizhu, have you seen Xu Fugui these few days?" After speaking, he stretched his head and glanced into Shazhu's room.

Silly Zhu looked at Jia Zhang as if mentally retarded: "I didn't see it! Aunt Jia, did you make a mistake, did you ask Xu Fugui to come to me? It's not that I have an affair with Xu Fugui."

Jia Zhang stared at Shazhu, turned around and went to pat on the doors of other neighbors...
