Siheyuan: My life is my decision

Dark night envelopes the entire Sijiu City

In the courtyard, many people can't sleep tonight

Lou Xiao'e was lying on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep. What she had experienced in the past two days caught her off guard. She had to think carefully about how to go about her future.

At Xu Damao's house, ever since Lou Xiao'e left with He Yuzhu, he has been lying on the bed without turning on the lights. The whole room was dark.

I didn’t eat anything, so I just lay there, staring at the roof.

He couldn't figure out why his life was like this? Why is he unlucky every time?

Why do all good things belong to He Yuzhu?

Why? He roared in his heart!

After He Yuzhu entered the space, he came to the hut and spread the blankets and quilts on the bed.

There is no transition between day and night in the space, but this has no effect. He Yuzhu took off his clothes, lay down on the bed, covered himself with a quilt and slept.

One night has passed like this

Lou Xiao'e didn't fall asleep until early in the morning. She woke up as soon as it dawned. After getting up, she packed her things and folded the quilt neatly.

She thought about it a lot last night, and she listened to what the uncle said. It is true that she cannot go back to her parents' house, but she needs to divorce Xu Damao first.

Thinking of this, she picked up the toiletries and went to wash up. After finishing, Lou Xiao'e walked to the door of He Yuzhu's room and knocked on the door.

"dong dong dong..."

"Pillar, pillar?"

Lou Xiao'e shouted twice, but there was no movement at all.

"dong dong dong..."

"Pillar? Pillar?"

There was still no movement. Lou Xiaoe saw that there was no movement inside after knocking on the door for a long time. She thought He Yuzhu was sleeping soundly, so she stopped shouting.

Returning to He Yuyu's room, he carried his things and went to the uncle's house.

After the uncle returned home last night, he discussed Lou Xiao'e's matter with his aunt, and finally the aunt suggested

He said that he might as well go live in the old lady's house. Anyway, the old lady had an empty room there, and she was usually the only one at home.

After Lou Xiaoe leaves, he can still stay with the old lady

When the old man heard that this was a good idea, he immediately decided and asked the old woman to talk to the old lady when she brought her food in the morning.

No, when Lou Xiao'e came to the uncle's house, the elder Yi Zhonghai was alone at home and happened to be having breakfast.

"Master"

Lou Xiao'e stood at the door, looked at the old man who was eating and shouted

"Lou Xiao'e? Come on, come in and sit down. Have you eaten? If not, let's have something together."

The uncle looked up and saw that it was Lou Xiao'e standing at the door.

"Master, I don't want to eat. I came here to talk about my divorce with Xu Damao today."

Lou Xiao'e walked over and sat down

"Lou Xiao'e, I'll ask you one last time, have you really thought about it?"

The uncle put down his chopsticks and looked at Lou Xiao'e

"Master, I have really thought about it. Xu Damao and I no longer need to live together."

Lou Xiao'e's face showed indifference when she talked about Xu Damao

"Okay, I won't persuade you any more. When I get back, I will take you two to the street office."

The old man picked up his chopsticks and started eating.

Lou Xiao'e didn't say anything and sat there in a daze.

After a while, the aunt came back

"Is Ku'e here?"

The aunt walked to Lou Xiao'e and looked at her

"Yes, aunt, what are you doing?"

Lou Xiao'e looked up at her aunt and asked

"Your aunt has found a place for you to live."

The uncle put down the chopsticks in his hand and said

Lou Xiao'e turned to look at the eldest man. After hearing what he said, she then looked at the eldest mother.

"Yes, Ku'e, we have already found one. You will live in the same room with the old lady from now on. She has an empty room there. I have discussed it with the old lady this morning."

"The old lady agreed immediately after hearing what you said."

"You can move your things to the old lady's room later."

"Auntie, thank you"

Lou Xiao'e stood up and looked at Auntie

"This kid, no matter how polite he is to his aunt, he is from the same courtyard."

The aunt looked at Lou Xiao'e with a smile and said, then looked at Lou Xiao'e's box on the ground.

"Is everything packed?"

"Yes, Auntie"

"Okay, let's go to my old lady's place first and put things away."

The aunt looked at Lou Xiao'e and said, then she pulled Lou Xiao'e out of the door.

Lou Xiao'e picked up her suitcase and followed the aunt to the old lady's house.

When we arrived at the old lady's house, she had just finished her breakfast.

"old lady"

As soon as the aunt entered the door, she shouted

"Hey, who is it?"

The old lady raised her head and looked at the door

"Old lady, it's me, aunt"

"It's a aunt, what's wrong?"

"Old lady, Lou Xiao'e is here"

The aunt pulled Lou Xiao'e to the old lady

"Grandma, I am Lou Xiao'e"

Lou Xiao'e looked at the old lady with a smile

"Kua'e is here, hey, poor child"

The old lady took two steps forward on crutches, took Lou Xiao'e's hand and said

"Old lady, don't stand still. Let's sit down and talk."

The aunt stepped forward and helped the old lady sit back on the stool.

"Kai'e, don't stand here, sit down and talk."

The aunt looked at Lou Xiao'e and said

“Good aunt”

Lou Xiao'e sits next to the old lady

"Grandma, I won't bother you anymore."

"Don't bother me, old lady, I'm usually alone, and you just happened to be here to keep me company."

The old lady looked at Lou Xiao'e and said

"Yes, Ku'e, just feel free to stay here with the old lady."

The eldest mother chimed in.

"Mom, grandma, thank you"

After hearing this, Lou Xiaoe nodded and thanked the aunt and the old lady.

"哓娥, coming here is like coming to your own home, stop being so polite."

"I've also heard about your story. This Xu Damao actually did some embarrassing things. I've known since I was a child that he's not a good person, so I just leave this kind of person."

The old lady comforted Lou Xiao'e

"Grandma, Xu Damao has nothing to do with me anymore. I just feel sorry for my parents."

Lou Xiaoe shed tears when she thought of her parents

"Okay, Ku'e, I believe your parents don't want you to be sad. Isn't it just a divorce? There are many good men. Grandma will help you find another one."

The old lady looked at the sad Lou Xiao'e and said

"grandmother...."

When Lou Xiao'e heard what the old lady said, her face turned red.

She just got divorced, and this old lady said she would find another one for her. She has no intention of doing so now.

"Okay, grandma, stop talking and put your things away first."

The old lady pointed to the house next to her and said

"Okay Grandma"

Lou Xiao'e picked up her suitcase, opened the door curtain and walked in. The room was small and the furnishings were simple. There was just a bed and a cabinet beside the bed.

There was only one aisle left for walking. Lou Xiaoe opened the wardrobe and took a look. It was quite clean. Then she opened the suitcase and put all the clothes in.

"哓娥, here are the quilts for the pads and the quilts for the coverings."

A mother came in holding two quilts.

“Thank you, aunt”

"Didn't I tell you not to be so polite? Look at you."

The aunt pretended to be angry and looked at Lou Xiaoe

"Okay, aunt, then I won't be polite."

Lou Xiao'e took it with a smile, spread the cotton padding on the bed, then laid out the sheets, folded the quilt and placed it at the head of the bed.

"Okay, now that we've packed up, let's go. The uncle is still waiting for you at home."

When the aunt saw that Lou Xiao'e had packed up, she said

"Let's go then"

Lou Xiao'e came out with her aunt

"Grandma, I'm going to deal with my affairs with Xu Damao first. I'll come back when it's done."

Lou Xiao'e looked at the old lady sitting there and said

"Kid, go ahead and do your business."

The old lady waved her hand

"Okay, old lady, you stay at home first and I'll come over to cook for you at noon."
