Chapter 75

Ten minutes later.

He Great Qing arrived at the backyard.

He saw Wan Ping'an sitting on a chair, letting Xu Damao sell the watermelons.

“Ping'an, I came to thank you.”

“Yesterday, that fool Sha Zhu let Yushui come to you to buy watermelon. Fortunately, you didn’t haggle with him.”

He Great Qing thanked Wan Ping'an.

“It’s nothing.”

“How could my conflict with Sha Zhu involve Yushui?”

“She’s still a child.”

Wan Ping'an waved his hand.

“Wait, Uncle He, why don’t you buy a watermelon to take back and eat?”

Wan Ping'an’s eyes lit up.

He thought of a devious idea.

“You want to sell me watermelon?”

He Great Qing was very surprised.

“Yes, I can sell it to you, but there’s one requirement.”

“You can eat it, Yushui can eat it, but Sha Zhu cannot eat it. He can only watch.”

The devious idea Wan Ping'an thought of was to let Sha Zhu watch others eat.

Watch his closest relatives eat watermelon.

While he couldn’t eat a single bite!

“What?”

“Haha, I understand. Let Sha Zhu watch us eat, right?”

“This brat is listening to me less and less. It’s time to teach him a lesson. Don’t worry, I’ll definitely make him watch us eat!”

He Great Qing laughed.

He decided to pit his son, to pit Sha Zhu once.

Soon.

He Great Qing went home holding a watermelon.

“Dad, is this Wan Ping'an’s watermelon?”

Sha Zhu drooled.

He Yushui’s eyes were shining.

“What’s the rush?”

“Sha Zhu, stand straight.”

“I don’t let you move, you aren’t allowed to move. Absolutely not allowed to move.”

He Great Qing laughed.

He brought a kitchen knife and cut the watermelon.

He took a piece for himself and handed one to He Yushui.

Crunch!

He Great Qing took a bite.

“The watermelon Wan Ping'an planted is really sweet!”

“No wonder he dares to sell it for one mao per pound. This texture, this sweetness—it’s too worth it!”

“Yushui, is it delicious?”

He Great Qing smacked his lips on purpose.

He Yushui nodded repeatedly, gnawing on the watermelon with effort, getting watermelon juice all over her little face, unable to spare her mouth to speak.

Gulp!

Sha Zhu swallowed his saliva.

“Dad, don’t just eat it yourselves, give me a piece, I want to eat too.”

Sha Zhu said pitifully.

“No, you can’t eat!”

“Wan Ping'an sold me the watermelon, and I promised him one condition: we eat, you watch. Yes, you heard me right, you can only watch!”

He Great Qing looked at Sha Zhu with a smile, his eyes a bit cold.

Sha Zhu had grown up and wouldn’t listen.

He didn’t want Sha Zhu to be too close to Yi Zhonghai and the Deaf Old Lady, but Sha Zhu insisted on being close to them. He had to be punished!

“What?”

“How can Wan Ping'an’s heart be so black?”

Sha Zhu turned to leave.

Out of sight, out of mind!

Watching He Great Qing and He Yushui eat watermelon from up close, his saliva wouldn’t stop, gulping down mouthful after mouthful, his stomach bloating.

“Stop!”

“This is your punishment!”

“We eat, you watch, until we finish!”

He Great Qing slapped the table.

Sha Zhu shivered, turned around aggrievedly, faced He Great Qing and He Yushui, watched them eat watermelon, and his hatred for Wan Ping'an was sky-high!

Too damaging!

There was no one more damaging than him!

Two days later.

It happened to be a day off.

Morning.

Jia Dongxu wore a brand-new set of clothes.

Starting from his home in the middle courtyard, to the front courtyard, then to the backyard, then back to the front courtyard, he showed off with a bright smile on his face.

“Dongxu, it’s not New Year or a holiday, why are you wearing new clothes?”

“Oh, I understand, you’re going on a blind date today, right?”

When Jia Dongxu passed through the middle courtyard again.

Yi Zhonghai stopped him.

“Yes, I’m going on a blind date today!”

Jia Dongxu was grinning from ear to ear.

He had asked Matchmaker Zhang: the girl introduced to him had a very pretty face, big breasts, and a big butt—absolutely meeting his requirements.

Last night.

He was so excited he didn’t sleep all night, sporting a pair of dark circles, looking strange, making people unable to help but laugh!

“Good!”

“Congratulations!”

Yi Zhonghai smiled somewhat reluctantly.

He and Old Jia were good friends and were of the same age.

Old Jia’s son was getting married, and soon there would be a grandson—three generations under one roof!

Yet he had no children—thinking about it made his heart ache!

Yi Zhonghai turned and went home.

All his mood was gone!

His face was overcast with clouds!

“It’s all my stomach’s fault for not being up to the mark!”

First Aunt saw this and sighed.

As soon as Wan Ping'an opened the door, he saw the showing-off Jia Dongxu.

"Haha, Wan Ping'an, I'm going on a blind date, I'm about to marry a beautiful wife, do you have one?"

Jia Dongxu showed off his new clothes proudly.

Provoking Wan Ping'an!

He was marrying a wife earlier than Wan Ping'an, so he was better than Wan Ping'an!

"I know you're going on a blind date, but are you sure the one you're going on a blind date with is your wife?"

"What if it's a joy for nothing?"

"Will you cry?"

Wan Ping'an sneered.

He had already decided to intercept it, and Jia Dongxu still dared to show off in front of him?

"What do you mean?"

"The one I'm going on a blind date with is naturally my wife, could it be your wife?"

Jia Dongxu looked at Wan Ping'an's sneer and felt a burst of fear.

He regretted it a bit.

He shouldn't have come to provoke Wan Ping'an.

He was going on a blind date, plus wearing a new set of clothes, which made him a bit floaty; now he was sober, not floaty anymore, but it was too late.

"Dongxu, why are you still wandering outside?"

"Why don't you come back quickly?"

"The girl you're going on a blind date with is almost here."

Jia Gen shouted at the junction of the middle and back courtyards.

He saw Jia Dongxu provoking Wan Ping'an and his scalp went numb; this dead brat, isn't this courting death?

"I won't talk to you anymore, I'm going back to prepare for the blind date."

Jia Dongxu turned and ran.

He was really scared.

Just as he turned, he kicked off one of his shoes.

Wan Ping'an laughed loudly.

Jia Dongxu's face was red and his neck was thick, wishing he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into; it was too shameful.

He picked up his shoe and ran home in a sorry state.

"Jia Dongxu is too funny."

"Ping'an, I heard the object of his blind date is from the countryside, but she's beautiful; in a while, shall we go see?"

Xu Damao came to Wan Ping'an.

He had initially shown the potential of a little bee, unable to move his steps or eyes when encountering a beautiful woman.

"What else did you find out?"

Wan Ping'an asked curiously.

The Xu family and the Jia family also had conflicts, the root cause being Jia Zhang; Wan Ping'an seriously suspected that Xu Damao wanted to make trouble during the blind date.

Just right!

Fishing in troubled waters.

Xu Damao making trouble.

He would intercept it by the way; if it really was Qin Huairu, he would snatch the first-hand Qin Huairu and let Jia Dongxu cry!

Next door at Deaf Old Lady's house.

Yi Zhonghai pushed the door and entered, and as soon as he entered, he sighed.

"What are you sighing about again?"

"I understand, you're very disappointed that Jia Dongxu is getting married, right?"

Deaf Old Lady was old and shrewd; she knew very well that Yi Zhonghai was particularly eager to have a child, but the First Aunt's belly had never shown any movement.

Seeing other people's children going on blind dates and getting married, while his own child had no whereabouts, could he not be sad?

"If you ask me, you two should go to the hospital for a check-up, but you just won't go, what can I do?"

Deaf Old Lady was also very helpless.

Yi Zhonghai didn't want to go for a check-up because he was afraid that if it turned out he had a problem, wouldn't that be awkward?

Not going for a check-up.

He could still push all the responsibility onto the First Aunt, making people say the First Aunt couldn't have children, and the vast majority of the pressure was on the First Aunt.

Yi Zhonghai stopped talking.

At this time.

The Jia family.

"Dongxu, today is the big day of your marriage, can you be steady?"

"You went to provoke Wan Ping'an, aren't you afraid of something happening?"

Jia Gen lectured Jia Dongxu.

"What could happen?"

"My son is going on a blind date, if any little brat dares to make trouble, I'll scratch their face."

Jia Zhang glared at Jia Gen; this man was too uncompetitive, if he could be a bit competitive, would they still need to be afraid of Wan Ping'an?

Soon.

Jia Dongxu came out of the house again.

This time he didn't go to the back courtyard, just wandered around the middle and front courtyards, waiting for Matchmaker Zhang to bring the blind date object over.

"Hahaha, I just realized, Jia Dongxu, this center-parting hairstyle of yours, you look too much like a big traitor."

"Also, it's oily and shiny, was it licked by a dog?"

Shazhu pointed at Jia Dongxu's head and laughed.

If he hadn't said it.

Others wouldn't have noticed.

Once he said it.

Everyone laughed.

Shazhu was right; Jia Dongxu's hairstyle indeed looked like a big traitor, oily and shiny, and it really looked like it had been licked by a dog!

Clap clap clap!

Wan Ping'an arrived at the middle courtyard.

After hearing Shazhu's words, he applauded loudly.

"Shazhu, I just realized today, you have such a good eye, you simply have a pair of fiery eyes!"

"It's just a big traitor's head!"

Wan Ping'an fanned the flames, deliberately stoking the fire!

Jia Dongxu wasn't a good person, and Shazhu wasn't a good thing either; it would be best if the two of them fought, dogs biting dogs, they would definitely bite each other full of hair!

"Shazhu, I've never been convinced by you, but today I'm convinced; you see people really accurately!"

"Dongxu, what kind of hairstyle is bad, why did you get a traitor's head?"

Xu Damao followed closely behind Wan Ping'an.

Whatever Wan Ping'an said, he followed and echoed.

"Down with the traitor!"

"Beat the big traitor to death!"

"Jia Dongxu is a traitor!"

At this time, the children playing, hearing Shazhu's words and looking at Jia Dongxu's hairstyle, found a new toy and came over one by one to shout.

Some children even held a small wooden stick in their hands and pulled at Jia Dongxu twice.

It didn't hurt!

The key was that it was too shameful!

Hahaha!

The adults burst into laughter.
