Dressed as a little fool: marry and have children

Chapter 275 Stay for dinner, Xu Damao asks about the situation

When his mother turned around, Liu Xiuwen followed her back with his eyes and followed her involuntarily. He lowered his eyelids slightly, his eyes were empty, and he seemed to be trying his best to digest the shock brought by the fierce confrontation he just witnessed.

He felt as if his heart was hit hard by something, which was a little difficult to bear for a moment. He really didn't want to stay in this room any longer.

After Liu Xiuxiu's stepmother walked out of the room, she turned back inadvertently and noticed her son's shocked look. Her brows slightly frowned, and a complex emotion flashed in her eyes.

She knew in her heart that she had protected her son too well, so that he had not experienced too many setbacks and hardships. But now, he had to learn to face these realities, and it was normal to suffer some setbacks.

She didn't say much, but just looked at her son's back silently, then turned and walked towards the kitchen. She hoped that her son could get out of this shadow as soon as possible and cheer up again.

Liu Xiuwen herself was completely immersed in her own thoughts at this moment. Her mind had long drifted away, and the figure of He Yuzhu kept appearing in her mind.

That gentle and considerate man was the one she loved deeply. They had experienced so many ups and downs together, but the cruel reality forced them to make a difficult choice.

She thought of He Yuzhu's warm smile and concerned eyes, and she couldn't help but feel an indescribable sadness in her heart. She knew that this was a difficult decision, but she had to make it for the sake of reality.

She sighed secretly, knowing that all this was forced by reality and had to be done this way. But she firmly believed that He Yuzhu would understand her decision, after all, he loved her so much.

At this time, He Yuzhu, who was locked in the room, had no idea that his wife was about to leave him. He wondered if his wife would cry because she was worried about him.

His heart was filled with longing and concern for her, as if he could see her anxious and worried face through the wall.

He was still thinking about his son, that cute little guy. Would he not recognize him after not seeing him for a few days? He Yuzhu's heart was filled with longing for his family.

......

"Cuicui, come and pick up some more dry food. Liu Xiuxiu is going to eat here at noon." Liu Xiuxiu's stepmother walked into the kitchen and gave leisurely instructions while looking at her busy daughter-in-law Wang Cuicui.

Wang Cuicui was squatting on the ground, carefully selecting corn flour and dry food. When she heard her mother-in-law's words, she raised her head slightly and a hint of unhappiness appeared on her face.

She hesitated for a moment before she said, "Mom, our food wasn't blown away by the wind, you..."

Before she finished her words, Liu Xiuxiu's stepmother waved her hand and interrupted her: "I know, I know. But Liu Xiuxiu gave me a hundred yuan today, so it's not impossible to treat her to a meal."

When Wang Cuicui heard this, she immediately showed a pleasant surprise on her face. She nodded quickly, and her tone became flattering: "Mom, you are right, I will pick up two more dry food. Then... are two enough? Do you want to pick up two more?"

Liu Xiuxiu's stepmother thought about it and shook her head: "Two are enough. Okay, go and cook, don't waste time. We still have to go out in the afternoon."

Wang Cuicui responded, got up quickly, put the dry food aside, and walked out of the kitchen excitedly. She walked towards the vegetable garden. She was much happier because of the one hundred yuan.

At lunchtime, the family sat around the table and ate peacefully. Wang Cuicui specially stewed a pumpkin to make the meal less monotonous.

Liu Xiuxiu looked at her stepmother and stepsister-in-law with some trepidation. She was afraid that they would ruin her business, so she gave them a few more instructions.

Liu Xiuxiu's stepmother and Wang Cuicui both nodded, indicating that they understood. As for her stepbrother, Liu Xiuxiu didn't say much, but just asked him to serve as manpower.

......

Outside the logistics department of the steel mill, the morning sun shines through the sparse clouds and onto the quiet factory road. Xu Damao, wearing a dark blue work suit, has already arrived here, with his hands in his pockets, leaning against the mottled wall.

He had an unlit cigarette dangling from the corner of his mouth, and his eyes were a little dazed, as if he was thinking about something important.

Qin Huairu came from a distance and saw Xu Damao leaning against the wall. When she approached, Xu Damao seemed to come back to his senses from his deep thoughts. He raised his head slightly and his eyes met Qin Huairu's.

"Da Mao, why are you here so early?" Qin Huairu had a hint of surprise on her face. As she spoke, she took out the key from her bag and skillfully opened the door of the logistics department.

Xu Damao did not answer immediately, but took a deep breath, as if to calm down some emotions in his heart. He slowly exhaled the smoke, but did not light the cigarette in his hand, just as an unconscious action.

"Qin Huairu, I want to talk to you about something." Xu Damao finally spoke, his voice low and firm.

Qin Huairu nodded and put her bag on her seat. She planned to get some water first. After all, she had to prepare for work so early.

However, just as she turned around to leave, Xu Damao stepped forward and quickly blocked her way. Qin Huairu was startled, and she subconsciously stopped and leaned back slightly, almost bumping into Xu Damao.

She quickly steadied herself, feeling lucky that she didn't drop the thermos, otherwise she would have to pay for it herself.

"Da Mao, what are you doing? You suddenly showed up and scared me. Luckily I reacted quickly, otherwise the thermos would have fallen to the ground."

As Qin Huairu spoke, she gently patted her chest in an attempt to calm her heartbeat, while preparing to walk around Xu Damao and out of the room.

Seeing Qin Huairu was about to leave, Xu Damao quickly reached out to stop her, with a trace of anxiety on his face: "Sister Qin, wait a moment, I have something to ask you. Yesterday I asked you to find out about Sha Zhu's matter, have you made any progress?"

He stared at Qin Huairu, afraid to miss every expression of hers.

Qin Huairu couldn't help but stop when Xu Damao stopped her. A moment of guilt flashed across her face, then she organized her words and began to recount her experience yesterday:

"Da Mao, I went to see Director Yang yesterday. He told me that Sha Zhu's crime was embezzlement and that he, as the director, couldn't do anything about it. He also advised me not to get involved." She said this while observing Xu Damao's reaction, fearing that he would not believe her.

Xu Damao frowned when he heard Qin Huairu say this, but soon he regained his composure. He stared at Qin Huairu and found that she did not lie to him, and knew that Qin Huairu had tried her best.

So, he sighed and continued, "Sister Qin, did their leadership say when they will deal with this matter?"

Qin Huairu thought for a moment and replied, "They said they would hold a meeting today to discuss this matter, and there should be a result before the end of get off work."

Xu Damao nodded. He knew that he could only hope that Deputy Director Li could be more helpful. He said to Qin Huairu, "Sister Qin, thank you for your hard work. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first." After that, he turned around and left the logistics department.

Qin Huairu looked at Xu Damao's back as he left, and her heart was somewhat relieved. At this time, other people had also arrived, and someone else had rushed to get water from the thermos in her hand. She declined several times and returned to her workstation.
