"What did you say?" Zhao Feiyan's expression changed drastically!
Seeing an opportunity, Xu Damao began to embellish his words: "Everything I said is true!"
"And, I've already found out the identity of Liu Kai Xuan's little lover!"
"Her name is Liu Yuqian, and they are colleagues in the same workshop!"
At first, Zhao Feiyan almost believed Xu Damao's instigation.
But soon, Zhao Feiyan keenly noticed something.
Xu Damao was currently looking at her body with a lecherous gaze.
His expression was like a vicious wolf staring at its prey.
Upon realizing this, Zhao Feiyan's favorability towards Xu Damao dropped to zero!
It's not wrong for men to like beautiful women; who doesn't like beautiful women?
Zhao Feiyan was beautiful and had a good temperament, and it was not uncommon for her to be noticed by the opposite sex.
But the key problem was that such a situation in a courtyard was abnormal.
On the day Zhao Feiyan and Liu Kai Xuan got engaged, ten relatives and friends from the Zhao family came, and two tables of banquet were held, making a big fuss.
Moreover, Liu Kai Xuan, to celebrate, had specifically bought a few pounds of fruit candy and sent a few pieces to the friendly neighbors in the courtyard.
In such a large courtyard, the news of Liu Kai Xuan and Zhao Feiyan's engagement had already spread like wildfire.
Although Zhao Feiyan and Liu Kai Xuan were only engaged at the moment and not yet officially married, according to custom, Zhao Feiyan was no longer a single girl.
Xu Damao, knowing full well she was engaged, still stared at her lecherously. Was this the behavior of a decent person?
Through Xu Damao's subtle behavior, Zhao Feiyan concluded that Xu Damao was not a good person.
Naturally, she would not blindly believe what he said.
With this thought, Zhao Feiyan retorted, "Oh, excuse me, comrade, you haven't even told me who you are yet?"
"I'm Xu Damao, a neighbor from this courtyard, and I also work at the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill!"
Xu Damao thought Zhao Feiyan had fallen for his lies and shamelessly tried to get closer to her.
"Oh, so it's you, Xu Damao!"
Zhao Feiyan suddenly realized: "When Kai Xuan brother comes back later, I'll tell him that Xu Damao was slandering him behind his back for having affairs!"
Xu Damao's face turned pale!
"You little brat, I think you're tired of living!"
In a fit of rage, Xu Damao raised his hand to slap Zhao Feiyan.
At this moment, Zhao Feiyan shouted loudly, "Help! Xu Damao is molesting me!"
"Holy cow!"
As soon as Zhao Feiyan said this, Xu Damao's face turned green.
He no longer dared to say a word and quickly fled with his tail between his legs.
To joke about it, the crime of hooliganism in this era could be punishable by death!
In broad daylight, on the streets and alleys, even if Xu Damao was lent a hundred courage, he wouldn't dare to act like a hooligan in public.
...
A few minutes later, Liu Kai Xuan returned home with a large bag.
Zhao Feiyan and Liu Xiaoyue met Liu Kai Xuan at the entrance.
Although the danger had passed, Zhao Feiyan immediately told Liu Kai Xuan about the incident.
Upon hearing this, Liu Kai Xuan was furious: "That dog Xu Damao, I think he's tired of living and asking for a beating!"
"Hey!"
As Liu Kai Xuan was about to go settle the score with Xu Damao, Zhao Feiyan quickly stepped forward and grabbed his arm.
"Forget it, Kai Xuan brother, don't make a big fuss. I wasn't harmed anyway!"
Since Zhao Feiyan was dissuading him, Liu Kai Xuan didn't want her to worry unnecessarily.
However, this matter definitely wouldn't be let go. It wouldn't be too late to settle the score with Xu Damao when Zhao Feiyan wasn't around.
After returning home, Zhao Feiyan helped Liu Kai Xuan sort the vegetables in the bag.
Then she asked, "Kai Xuan brother, what do you want to eat tonight? I'll cook for you!"
Liu Kai Xuan suggested: "How about this, Feiyan, let's have a slightly better meal tonight!"
"You start the congee, and I'll make you a pot of stewed goose in a cast-iron pot!"
"Okay, okay!"
Liu Xiaoyue cheered with joy: "I want to eat stewed goose!"
Zhao Feiyan asked, "Can we finish such a big goose in one meal?"
"Of course, we can all eat to our heart's content, hahaha..."
"Alright then!"
Zhao Feiyan, though she didn't say it out loud, was actually craving meat too.
Pork was too fatty, and most girls would get tired of eating too much fat.
But goose meat was different; it was almost all lean meat.
If cooked well, it would definitely be a satisfying dish.
Zhao Feiyan was responsible for making the congee and steaming the mantou.
Liu Kai Xuan personally went into the kitchen to make a pot of stewed goose.
At the same time, to help cut through the richness, Liu Kai Xuan also prepared a dish of sour and spicy cabbage.
A large plate of fragrant stewed goose, a plate of delicious sour and spicy cabbage, and a hearty dinner was ready.
"Sister Feiyan, eat some meat. You were so tired from washing my clothes yesterday. Let me give you all the meat!"
Liu Xiaoyue, holding her chopsticks, kept putting meat into Zhao Feiyan's bowl.
Zhao Feiyan quickly stopped her: "Alright, Xiaoyue, it's such a big goose, I can't possibly eat it all myself. You should eat while it's hot too!"
"That's strange, brother, why is there only one goose leg? Where did the other one go?"
Liu Xiaoyue put a goose leg into Zhao Feiyan's bowl, and when she went to find the other leg to give to her brother, she discovered that it was missing.
Zhao Feiyan also asked curiously, "Yes, where did the other goose leg go!"
"Kai Xuan, did you eat it in the kitchen..."
"How could that be!"
Liu Kai Xuan shook his head and smiled: "That goose leg is draining in the colander!"
"I plan to wrap it up later and give it to Aunt Jiang and the others to share."
The pile of dirty clothes that Zhao Feiyan had found at home earlier were all washed by Jiang Aiying in the end.
Liu Kai Xuan was certainly not someone who didn't know gratitude.
Revenge for grievances, repayment for favors.
That was his principle!
Zhao Feiyan's face suddenly turned red: "You rascal... how exactly did you offend that Xu Damao?"
"He's slandering you behind your back!"
"Heh..."
Liu Kai Xuan replied calmly: "Alright Feiyan, the situation in our courtyard is quite complicated."
"When I get a day off, I'll tell you the whole story in detail, and then you'll understand!"
"Mhmm!" Zhao Feiyan nodded repeatedly, indicating understanding.
...
The next morning, just as Xu Damao pushed his bicycle out of the courtyard gate, he was intercepted by Liu Kai Xuan.
"You... what do you want!" Xu Damao, with a guilty conscience, began to stutter.
