Siheyuan: I just came across and wanted to chase me away

Chapter 749 Seizing the Dowry

When Xu Damao returned to the courtyard, he saw Lou Xiao'e coming back from outside. He was stunned for a moment, then a look of concern appeared on his face, and he walked up to her and asked, "Lou Xiao'e, is your father's illness better?"

Lou Xiao'e looked at Xu Damao coldly, her eyes full of disdain, and said, "Whether it's good or not has nothing to do with you. Let's get a divorce tomorrow. I don't want to have anything to do with you anymore."

Xu Damao looked up at the sky and found that it was indeed late, so he said, "Okay, then let's go home and talk about how to divide the things in the house. From now on, we will go our separate ways and have no relationship with each other." After that, he motioned for Lou Xiao'e to go home together.

Lou Xiao'e already knew Xu Damao's thoughts very well. She looked at Xu Damao calmly and said slowly: "Let's call Ran Qiuye to pack up the things. I only want those that belong to me." Lou Xiao'e's tone was firm, and her eyes revealed unquestionable determination.

Xu Damao's heart skipped a beat when he heard this. He didn't want Lou Xiao'e to take anything away. In his opinion, as long as something was in his house, it was his. Moreover, these things would be used as gifts later, and they were all good treasures. Even if he gave them to Lou Xiao'e first and then reported Lou Bancheng, those things might be able to return to his home, but it would be too troublesome, and he didn't want to cause trouble.

Xu Damao glared at Lou Xiao'e and said with disgust: "Lou Xiao'e, you still have the nerve to ask for things? Think about it carefully, you have been married to me for so many years, and yet you don't even have a child. If this is not your fault, whose fault is it? You still have the nerve to mention things?" Xu Damao deliberately raised his voice, trying to overwhelm Lou Xiao'e with momentum.

At this moment, Ran Qiuye heard the quarrel and walked out of the house quickly. She frowned, looked at Xu Damao with dissatisfaction, and said, "Xu Damao, what are you talking about? Is it just one person's fault that there is no child? Does it have nothing to do with you? How can you be so unreasonable?" Ran Qiuye stood up for Lou Xiaoe, with a little anger in her tone.

Xu Damao was already upset, and when he was questioned by Ran Qiuye, he immediately lost his temper. He said viciously: "Ran Qiuye, what does this matter have to do with you? Stop meddling in other people's business here and get out of here!" As Xu Damao spoke, he waved his hand impatiently, as if Ran Qiuye was an annoying fly.

Ran Qiuye was so angry at Xu Damao that her face turned red. She didn't know what to say for a moment. She wanted to tell Xu Damao about Xiao'e's visit to the doctor so that he could know how wrong he was. But when the words came to her lips, she was stopped by a look from Lou Xiao'e. Lou Xiao'e smiled slightly and said softly, "Qiuye, don't worry." The smile seemed calm, but it concealed a deep meaning.

Xu Damao looked at the interaction between Lou Xiao'e and Ran Qiuye and felt a little uneasy, but he still said stubbornly: "Although I don't know what you are discussing, Lou Xiao'e, I tell you, don't even think about taking anything from the house, they are all mine!" Xu Damao crossed his arms across his chest, looking like a rogue.

Lou Xiao'e looked at Xu Damao with contempt in her eyes and said coldly: "I never thought that you would be so despicable. You are simply despicable and shameless!" Lou Xiao'e scolded Xu Damao mercilessly. Every word was like a sharp blade, stabbing Xu Damao's heart.

Xu Damao smiled disapprovingly and said shamelessly: "Whether I am shameless or not is none of your business. Just come with me and divorce me honestly. Then you can't take away a single cent of the things in the house." Xu Damao looked confident of winning, as if Lou Xiao'e was already a fish on his chopping board.

Ran Qiuye looked at Xu Damao's ugly face and couldn't help but said, "I never thought that there would be people like you in the world. It's simply unreasonable!" Ran Qiuye stomped her feet in anger and felt extremely angry at Xu Damao's behavior.

Xu Damao didn't want to continue to argue with them here. After all, it was really embarrassing to quarrel outside. He thought of taking Lou Xiao'e home first and getting a divorce tomorrow, so that the people in the courtyard would not know what was going on. So he reached out and grabbed Lou Xiao'e's arm, trying to force her away.

Ran Qiuye was immediately unhappy when she saw this, and she shouted, "Just talk properly, who are you arresting?" As she spoke, she stretched out her hand and forcefully pushed Xu Damao's hand away. Xu Damao didn't expect Ran Qiuye to stop him, and he lost his balance for a moment. In anger, he pushed Ran Qiuye hard.

Ran Qiuye was caught off guard and fell backwards. At this critical moment, Gu Nan just came back from get off work. He saw the quarrel from a distance, and when he saw Ran Qiuye was about to fall, he was anxious and rushed over. He rushed forward and held Ran Qiuye steadily. Gu Nan's face suddenly became gloomy, his eyes were full of anger, and the first thing he did was to raise his foot and kick Xu Damao to the side.

Xu Damao staggered and fell to the ground. He didn't even see who kicked him. He slowly got up from the ground, cursing, "Who kicked me? I think he doesn't want to live anymore!" As Xu Damao spoke, he looked around, looking for the person who dared to kick him.

Gu Nan was so angry that he was shaking all over. He looked at Xu Damao with eyes wide open and shouted, "Xu Damao, I think you are the one who doesn't want to live! You actually dared to push my wife, believe it or not, I will beat you to death here today!" Gu Nan's voice was like a loud bell, echoing all around, and his eyes seemed to want to eat Xu Damao alive.

Xu Damao then saw that it was Gu Nan, and he couldn't help but feel a little scared. He looked at the increasing number of people around him, and wanted to be tough, but when he thought about the fact that he still had to go back to work at the steel mill, he couldn't make things too awkward, otherwise it would be disadvantageous to him, and it would be bad if Gu Nan made things difficult for him.

So, Xu Damao immediately changed his expression and said with a smile: "Gu Nan, this is all misunderstanding, misunderstanding! I really didn't mean it, I was just anxious for a moment, please don't take it seriously." As Xu Damao spoke, he nodded and bowed, trying to calm Gu Nan's anger.

Gu Nan seemed to not take Xu Damao seriously at all. His eyes fell directly on Ran Qiuye. His eyes were full of concern. He asked softly, "Qiuye, are you okay? Did Xu Damao do anything to you?"
