Siheyuan: tomb robbing? I am serious about hunting.

Chapter 267: Silly Zhu...

The deaf old lady saw that Lou Xiao'e's emotions had gradually calmed down, and then she began to speak slowly.

"Xiao'e, do you know the idiot Zhu in our courtyard?" the deaf old lady asked softly.

Lou Xiao'e was a little confused at first, and looked at the deaf old lady with a puzzled look on her face, "Old lady, why are you talking to me about Sha Zhu?"

The deaf old lady sighed slightly, "Shazhu is a very honest child. Unlike some people, they are full of tricks."

Lou Xiao'e frowned and asked in confusion: "Old lady, what do you want to say?"

The deaf old lady held Lou Xiao'e's hand and said, "Xiao'e, you and Xu Damao have been living in chaos. Sha Zhu is different. Although he is sometimes silly, he is kind-hearted and righteous."

Lou Xiaoe's eyes widened. "Old lady, you don't want me to..."

The deaf old lady nodded, "Yes, Xiao'e. I think you can try it with Sha Zhu. Sha Zhu is much better than Xu Damao."

Lou Xiao'e quickly shook her head. "How can this be possible? Old lady, Xu Damao and I are still fine. Besides, Shazhu..."

The deaf old lady interrupted Lou Xiao'e, "Xiao'e, listen to me. Xu Damao has hurt your heart time and time again. Do you still expect him to change for the better? Sha Zhu is different. He will treat you well with all his heart."

Lou Xiao'e was silent, she didn't know what to say. She thought of Xu Damao's various actions, and felt sad. But for Sha Zhu, she felt it was too sudden.

The deaf old lady continued, "Xiao'e, think about it carefully. Shazhu is a capable person in the factory, and he is filial to the elderly. If you follow him, you will definitely not be wronged."

Lou Xiao'e lowered her head and fell into deep thought. After a while, she raised her head and looked at the deaf old lady, "Old lady, I am very confused now. I need time to think about it."

The deaf old lady nodded in understanding, "Okay, Xiao'e. Think about it carefully. I'm doing this for your own good. I hope you can live a happy life."

Lou Xiao'e's eyes were full of entanglement. She bit her lips gently, with a lot of thoughts in her mind. "Old lady, I really don't know what to do. No matter how bad Xu Damao is, we are still husband and wife. And Sha Zhu... I don't know much about him." Lou Xiao'e said with a trembling voice. The deaf old lady patted Lou Xiao'e's hand and said earnestly: "Xiao'e, you can't always be trapped by the past. Xu Damao has done so many wrong things, do you still have hope for him? Although Sha Zhu looks careless, his kindness is known to everyone in the hospital. He can take care of people and is responsible." Lou Xiao'e lowered her eyes slightly, "But, such a decision is too sudden. I can't easily..." "Xiao'e, I know it's not easy. But you have to consider your future. You are still young and can't keep suffering like this." The deaf old lady persuaded. Lou Xiao'e was silent for a long time, then slowly raised her head, "Old lady, I will consider your words carefully. But I really can't make a decision right now." The deaf old lady nodded, "Okay, Xiao'e. Think about it slowly. No matter what decision you make, I support you." The two chatted for a while, and Lou Xiao'e felt a little more relaxed. But she knew that she was facing a difficult choice. Should she continue to struggle in her marriage with Xu Damao, or bravely try new possibilities and start a different life with Sha Zhu? This question kept circling in her mind, making her unable to calm down for a long time. As the night got deeper, Lou Xiao'e got up and said goodbye to the deaf old lady and returned to her room. She lay on the bed, looking at the ceiling, and the entanglement in her heart still did not dissipate.

Lou Xiao'e lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. The words of the deaf old lady kept echoing in her mind. She thought of Xu Damao's sweet words and those good times, and then she thought of Xu Damao's betrayal and quarrels.

"Xu Damao, is he really so hopeless?" Lou Xiao'e whispered softly. She recalled that when they first got married, Xu Damao was very caring towards her, but she didn't know when everything changed. He became selfish, flirting with other girls outside all day long, and didn't care about her feelings at all.

What about Sha Zhu? Lou Xiao'e's impression of him has always been that of a carefree, hard-mouthed but soft-hearted cook. He always stands up at critical moments to help the people in the yard. Although he sometimes speaks harshly, his kindness cannot be hidden.

"Is Sha Zhu really better than Xu Damao?" Lou Xiao'e was full of doubts. She didn't know if she had the courage to take that step and try to be with Sha Zhu. After all, this was not just her own business, but also related to the rumors of the entire courtyard.

At the same time, the deaf old lady was also thinking in her room. She sincerely hoped that Lou Xiao'e could live a happy life, and in her opinion, Sha Zhu was the one who could bring happiness to Lou Xiao'e.

"Oh, I hope Xiao'e can figure it out." The deaf old lady sighed slightly.

As the night deepened, the courtyard fell into silence. Lou Xiao'e was still hesitating, and her future was as dark as the night, full of unknowns.

Sha Zhu sat quietly beside Lou Xiao'e, looking at her peaceful sleeping face, with a complex emotion in his heart. He thought of his single life over the years, loneliness and solitude often accompanied him. At this moment, Lou Xiao'e's appearance was like a warm sunshine shining into his heart.

Sha Zhu sighed softly. He knew that he couldn't have any improper thoughts. Lou Xiao'e was a married woman. Although there were constant conflicts between her and Xu Damao, he couldn't do anything immoral.

He sat there quietly, his thoughts drifting away. He thought about the days in the courtyard, the trivialities between neighbors, and his future life. He didn't know when his fate would come, but he decided to live a good life and be an honest and kind person.

After a while, Lou Xiao'e's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she slowly opened her eyes. Seeing Sha Zhu sitting next to her, she was stunned at first, and then a hint of surprise appeared on her face.

"Shazhu, why are you here?" Lou Xiao'e asked softly.

Sha Zhu stood up in a panic, scratched his head and said, "Well... the deaf old lady asked me to come. Don't get me wrong, I didn't do anything."

Lou Xiao'e looked at Sha Zhu's nervous expression and couldn't help but feel a little amused. She sat up and tidied her hair.

"Thank you, Shazhu." Lou Xiao'e said sincerely.

Sha Zhu chuckled, "No big deal, it's all as I should."

The atmosphere between the two was a little subtle, and they didn't know what to say. At this time, the deaf old lady also came in, looked at them, and showed a relieved smile on her face.
