Chapter 184 4 The people in the courtyard plan to introduce a partner to Xu Damao
A few days later, everyone in the courtyard knew that the sensational Lou Bancheng had passed away, and now the whole city was gossiping about this matter. Thinking of Lou Xiaoe, who had rarely appeared recently, everyone began to whisper and discuss it.
The second aunt was holding a basin of washed clothes and said as she walked, "Have you heard? Didn't Lou Xiao'e go back to her parents' home just now? Now all the Lou family members have left, she..." The second aunt paused deliberately, a hint of cunning in her eyes, as if waiting for everyone's reaction.
The first aunt was hanging bedding in the yard. When she heard what the second aunt said, she frowned and said unhappily: "Xiao'e is not that kind of person, don't make random guesses." Her voice was firm and powerful, and it was obvious that she trusted Lou Xiao'e.
Jia Zhang just walked out of the house and heard the conversation between the two. She curled her lips and retorted directly: "I don't think so. You can't judge a person by his or her face. Not everyone is as virtuous as my Huairu." There was a hint of pride in her words, as if she was quite proud of her daughter-in-law.
The third aunt had just returned from the market with several baskets in her hands. She looked at everyone and began to persuade them, "Okay, stop guessing. You have forgotten that Lou Xiao'e is still pregnant. If you want to know something, just ask Xu Damao when he comes back." There was a hint of wisdom in her words, reminding everyone.
When everyone in the courtyard heard what the third aunt said, they all thought it was quite reasonable. So everyone slowed down their actions and planned to ask questions when Xu Damao came back to get the first-hand information. For a moment, the whole courtyard was filled with an atmosphere of expectation and curiosity.
......
As soon as Xu Damao pushed his bicycle into the courtyard, he was surrounded by the aunties in the courtyard. He was startled by the sudden scene and quickly stopped the bicycle and asked nervously:
"Aunties, what are you doing? I haven't offended you recently." After saying that, he tried hard to recall whether he had done anything he forgot.
Seeing that no one spoke, the second aunt started asking directly: "Da Mao, where is your Lou Xiaoe? She didn't really abandon you, did she?" There was a hint of curiosity in her tone.
Although the others didn't say anything, their eyes were full of gossip. They stared at Xu Damao carefully, not missing any change in his expression.
Xu Damao thought there was nothing to hide, and he was planning to find another one, so he said directly: "Lou Xiao'e and I divorced a long time ago. As for where she went, I don't know." Although his tone was calm, there was a hint of imperceptible loss on his face.
"What? Divorced?" Second Auntie said in surprise, "Da Mao, you must have been cheated."
"The Lou family is gone, and you divorced before. This was planned for a long time." The third aunt said, looking at Xu Damao with sympathy.
"Da Mao, don't be sad. Auntie will introduce you to someone better when the time comes." Auntie looked at Xu Damao and comforted him.
Xu Damao looked at the different expressions on everyone's faces, some showing concern, some showing sympathy, and some showing gloating. He smiled helplessly and said directly: "Okay, thank you all, aunties. I'm waiting for you to find a wife for me. I'll go back first." After that, he pushed his bicycle and walked into the house.
Jia Zhang had just been watching with gloating, and now when she heard that Xu Damao was going to find a new wife, she immediately had an idea in her mind. She thought that Qin Huairu's cousin was not married yet, and if she could marry Xu Damao, her family would get some benefits. So she hurried home and planned to discuss this matter with Qin Huairu.
Xu Damao returned to the house and breathed a sigh of relief. Although he felt a little uncomfortable being watched by so many people, he was full of anticipation when he thought about starting a new life. The situation has been tense recently, and he has been holding back for a long time. Now he can finally consider finding a new wife.
