Siheyuan: I am the God of Cooking, and all the birds are crying with envy!

Lou Xiao'e turned around and looked at the two girls, one big and one small, in confusion.

Although both of them were wearing shabby clothes, their faces were clean and their eyes were full of joy.

The younger girl had two small buns on her hair, a round face, big eyes, and looked about 5 years old.

The little girl still has a childish look on her face and looks very cute.

Lou Xiao'e immediately liked the little girl and felt very close to her.

The older girl looked about 18 years old, with neatly combed hair and two braids hanging down her chest.

Her double eyelids are very obvious, and her long and curled eyelashes flicker, making her eyes look lively.

The girl had a high nose tip, a full forehead, naturally red lips, and an oval face. Even though she was wearing shabby clothes, it was difficult to conceal her stunning appearance.

At this moment, the two of them were looking at him with eyes full of expectation and surprise.

Lou Xiao'e was confused for a moment, but soon she searched from the corner of her memory and found an innocent face that matched the older girl in front of her.

"Xu...Xinyue?" Lou Xiao'e said uncertainly.

I have the impression that Xu Xinyue and their Lou family are cousins, and Xu Xinyue's mother and Lou Xiao'e's mother are cousins.

In this case, they are cousins.

Lou Xiao'e remembers that when she got married, Xu Xinyue's mother brought Xu Xinyue to attend her wedding.

But it has been seven or eight years, and Xu Xinyue was only about 10 years old at that time.

She didn't expect that Xu Xinyue could recognize her.

Xu Xinyue came to Lou Xiaoer happily and said, "I am your cousin, and this is my sister Xu Xinmei."

"Mei Zi, call me cousin quickly." Xu Xinyue urged.

Xu Xinmei called her cousin obediently.

After the two exchanged pleasantries for a while, Lou Xiao'e had a general idea of ​​the situation at Xu Xinyue's family.

Xu Xinyue's father passed away five years ago and her mother passed away two years ago.

Xu Xinyue's parents were in a similar situation to hers, but because the Xu family did not marry into the working class, all of their assets were confiscated.

Her father was devastated and died of depression because of this incident.

After Xu's father passed away, Xu's mother lived a hard life with her two sisters.

After Xu's mother died of illness, Xu Xinyue, who was fifteen or sixteen years old, took on the responsibility of taking care of her younger sister.

At that time, Xu Xinmei was only three years old, and Xu Xinyue did odd jobs behind her back to support the two sisters.

This went on for two years. Because there was really no work to be done in their hometown, the two sisters might starve to death if they did not find work.

Therefore, Xu Xinyue thought of marrying Lou Xiao'e who lived in the city.

Xu Xinyue looked embarrassed and even more ashamed, "Cousin, we really have no way to make a living in the countryside, so we came to the city to find you."

Xu Xinyue was afraid that Lou Xiaoe would misunderstand, so she hurriedly explained, "Cousin, I... I don't want to stay at your house and let you support us..."

"My sister and I went to the city and lived a homeless life for three months. Sometimes we lived under bridges, sometimes in dilapidated temples, and sometimes under the eaves of other people's houses."

"I'm looking for my cousin just to ask her to provide me with a place to stay temporarily. I'll find a way after I'm stable and make money."

"I will definitely not disturb my cousin and her husband."

"Cousin, do you think this is okay?" Xu Xinyue asked Lou Xiao'e cautiously.

When Lou Xiao'e saw Xu Xinyue being so cautious, her eyes immediately turned red. She took her hand and held Xu Xinmei's hand in the other.

"Hey! It's not a big deal. Your cousin's husband is away from home for six months. You sisters can go back with me."

After Lou Xiao'e finished speaking, she took the two sisters and walked into the courtyard.

The three of them talked and laughed along the way.

"Cousin, where is your brother-in-law?" Xu Xinyue didn't have any other intentions, she just wanted to chat, and the conversation turned to Xu Damao.

"Your cousin's husband committed a crime and will be reformed in the Public Security Bureau for 6 months."

Xu Xinyue was shocked. "Ah, what did my cousin's husband do wrong?"

Immediately afterwards, Xu Xinyue's face was filled with guilt and a little embarrassed.

"I'm sorry, cousin, I didn't know...I..."

At this moment, Xu Xinyue finally understood why she and her sisters were able to return home and live with Lou Xiao'e for six months.

This... doesn't seem right...

It seems... not appropriate for the two sisters to live there.

"Okay, okay, don't think too much. Just live here while your brother-in-law is away for the next six months."

"We can plan a lot in half a year. As for when your cousin's husband comes back, we'll make plans then."

"I know Beijing better than you do. If there is no other way, I can help you rent a house. It's not difficult."

Lou Xiao'e made the decision with a wave of her hand.

As for why Xu Damao committed the crime, Lou Xiao'e did not say.

She felt ashamed. It was all Xu Damao's own fault. He was rescued only to be sent back in jail within a day. He really deserved it.

Just let him reform himself in prison.

Seeing that Lou Xiao'e was unwilling to say more about Xu Damao, Xu Xinyue stopped asking.

Lou Xiao'e was unemployed. When she brought her two sisters back to the courtyard, the third aunt saw Xu Xinyue's pretty appearance and came forward to greet her with a smile.

"Ezi, who is this pretty girl?" The third aunt asked while looking at Xu Xinyue as if she were looking at some merchandise.

Although she is a little thin, her body is still curvy and her body is still voluptuous. Although her clothes are worn out, they are washed very cleanly. She is a diligent person who knows how to live a good life.

It is quite suitable for her second son Yan Jiefang.

"These are my cousins, Xu Xinyue and Xu Xinmei. They will live in the courtyard for a while. I'll trouble you to take good care of them when the time comes."

After Lou Xiao'e finished speaking, she took the two sisters and walked towards the central courtyard.

Jia Zhang was in the yard with Banggeng and his two siblings. She was very curious when she saw Lou Xiao'e bringing people into the courtyard.

Lou Xiao'e dismissed Jia Zhangshi with the same words she would use to dismiss an old lady.

During this period, she met the second aunt, who, like the third aunt, both chose Xu Xinyue as their second daughter-in-law.

After Xu Xinyue entered the room, the second aunt pulled Lou Xiaoe and asked tentatively, "Is your eldest cousin married? I think she is similar to my second cousin, and I like her very much..."

Lou Xiao'e interrupted her, "Sister Xu Xinyue has no parents and lives alone. They couldn't make a living in their hometown, so they came to Beijing and wandered around for three months before they found me and asked me to take them in."

"Given her situation, my sister must keep her by her side, and even help her with her studies and marriage."

"Second Aunt, if you think it's feasible, I will talk to my cousin and ask her to meet Jiefang."

"This……"

When Second Aunt heard that she would have to take care of a child and support her education and marriage, she immediately backed out.

Their house is already crowded. If they marry a daughter-in-law with a baggage, where will they have enough space to live?

They have to support a burden and marry him off. Isn't the Liu family the one being taken advantage of?

But she couldn't say this to Lou Xiao'e, so she evaded the question by saying, "We'll meet again soon anyway, so let the young people handle their own affairs."

In short, if young people like it, she has no objection.

Of course, this is just superficial talk. No matter what, Second Aunt would not agree with the second or third son marrying Xu Xinyue.
