Chapter 389: Xu Damao Acts Foolishly, Solo Duels the Elderly in the Courtyard

The more everyone heard Xu Damao's words, the more terrified they became.

Who is Jia Zhangshi?

How dare Xu Damao speak to her like that?

But Jia Zhangshi herself already had a face as pale as iron.

Xu Damao, ignoring all that, went on to say:

"Actually, even if you don't say it, I already know why."

"Isn't it just because you're afraid Shazhu will be with Teacher Ran?"

"I find it very strange and can't understand."

"I won't talk about the past; back then it was indeed hard, often starving."

"But now, I really can't understand; you say Bang Geng, Xiao Dang and Huaihua have all grown up."

"Can the old days still be difficult?"

"If you agree to let your daughter‑in‑law marry Shazhu, how will you face your husband and your son afterward?"

"How can you let that bastard Shazhu take your daughter‑in‑law?"

Jia Zhangshi could no longer hold back.

She glared at Xu Damao, slapped her chopsticks onto the table, stood up, and walked toward the exit.

Xu Damao was startled, and, facing Jia Zhangshi's back, asked irritably:

"What are you slamming, huh?"

Yi Zhonghai pointed at Xu Damao and shouted, "Xu Damao, this is just unacceptable."

After saying that, he stood up and also walked out.

Xu Damao pointed at Yi Zhonghai's back and shouted, "Yi Zhonghai, what does this have to do with you?"

Yi Zhonghai stopped, turned around, pointed at Xu Damao, and roared, "Xu Damao, you are a total bastard!"

Then.

He helped Jia Zhangshi and left.

Xu Damao shouted, "Hey, stop putting on an act here."

"On the surface you seem proper and orthodox, but in truth you're just like that."

Yu Haitang: "Xu Damao, what are you doing?"

"If Lin Shengli found out, I wonder what you'll do."

Hearing that, Xu Damao couldn't help but shiver all over, half sober from the wine.

However.

With so many people around, he obviously couldn't be cowardly.

He let out a cold snort and said, "What I'm saying is the truth."

Liu Haizhong had been staring at Xu Damao and could no longer hold back.

"Snap"— he slammed the chopsticks onto a plate on the table.

It startled Xu Damao with a huge jump.

Liu Haizhong's face flushed red, and he pointed at Xu Damao, shouting:

"Xu Damao, I'm going to hit you; do you believe it?"

Xu Damao sneered, picked up a peanut, tossed it at Liu Haizhong's face, and said:

"Hey, I still don't believe it."

Liu Haizhong could no longer restrain himself and slapped Xu Damao hard.

Xu Damao was caught off guard, mainly because he hadn't expected Liu Haizhong's boldness.

He was knocked down to the ground in an instant.

He let out a howl, got up, and got into a scuffle with Liu Haizhong.

Everyone rushed over to pull them apart.

The scene instantly turned into a chaotic mess.

Yan Bu Gui held Xu Damao, but Xu Damao ended up being slapped by Liu Haizhong.

Xu Damao felt Yan Bu Gui was taking sides, and, angry, punched Yan Bu Gui straight in the face—

and knocked Yan Bu Gui to the ground in one blow.

Then he pushed Liu Haizhong down, mounted him, and kept fighting.

At that moment, Yi Zhonghai, hearing the commotion, ran over.

Seeing the scene, he was instantly dumbfounded.

He hurriedly pushed Xu Damao aside, then grabbed the kitchen knife from the table and shouted at Xu Damao:

"Xu Damao, I've never laid a hand on anyone in my whole life."

"Today I must chop you up."

Seeing Yi Zhonghai coming for real, Xu Damao hurriedly fled outward.

Yi Zhonghai chased out the door, shouting at Xu Damao, "Xu Damao, you really are a bastard!"

Second Aunt, facing Yi Zhonghai's back, cried, "Eldest Uncle, come quickly and see what's happened to our Lao Liu."

Yi Zhonghai rushed in, looked around, and shouted at the stunned Yu Haitang:

"Quick, call an ambulance right away."

Liu Haizhong: "Don't, don't call—just smash their house for me."

Yu Haitang, hearing that, was instantly dumbfounded.

Hurriedly stepped forward to block.

But Second Aunt and San Da Ma blamed Xu Damao for beating Second Elder and Third Elder, shoved Yu Haitang aside, and began to smash...

The next day.

Shazhu leisurely strolled at the alley entrance.

Xiao Dang saw him, hurried over, and said:

"Oh no, oh no, something big happened."

"I was just about to look for my mother."

Shazhu frowned and asked, "What big thing happened?"

"No rush, no rush, ah, take your time."

Xiao Dang: "So, isn't the Great Leader sick?"

Shazhu asked nervously, "The Great Leader is sick?"

Xiao Dang: "Wait, I haven't finished speaking yet."

"My mother went to attend to the Great Leader."

Shazhu: "No, what does this have to do with your mother?"

"Which Great Leader is she serving?"

Xiao Dang: "I, uh, I have no idea."

"It seems the Great Leader sent someone to ask you to cook; you weren't there, so my mother went instead."

Shazhu: "What do you mean I wasn't there?"

"I've been at the restaurant all along, why didn't your mother tell me?"

Xiao Dang: "Then I don't know; she said you were busy."

"She, she later went to attend the Great Leader, didn't she?"

"She handed over all the courtyard matters to Yu Haitang."

Shazhu frowned and asked, "Why? Why hand it to Yu Haitang?"

Xiao Dang: "My mother said Yu Haitang has long wanted to blend Xu Damao into our courtyard, and when this chance arose, she gave it to her."

"Who would have known Xu Damao got drunk, acted recklessly, and beat both Second Grandfather and Third Grandfather completely."

Shazhu shouted angrily, "You bastard, he's really rotten."

After saying that, he placed his hands behind his back and walked toward the Siheyuan.

Xiao Dang followed while saying:

"It was Third Grandfather who said—no, it was Third Grandmother who said she's never seen Eldest Uncle get so angry, brandishing a kitchen knife ready to slash Xu Damao alive."

Shazhu became increasingly anxious as he listened; once he stepped into the Siheyuan, he shoved Xiao Dang aside and sprinted toward the Houyuan.

He was now impatient to locate Xu Damao, determined to vent his anger for the elders.

Arriving at Xu Damao's doorstep, he pushed the door open, and Yu Haitang was tidying the house with Yu Li.

Shazhu frowned and asked, "Where's Xu Damao?"

Yu Haitang: "Shazhu, does Xu Damao even dare to come back?"

Yu Li: "Shazhu, Xu Damao was drunk and reckless as well."

"Let's just drop it, okay."

"I'll have him compensate Second Elder and Third Elder."

Shazhu: "You know he was reckless; we have to punish him, right?"

"If we don't teach him a lesson, he won't learn."

Yu Haitang: "Shazhu, you should stay out of this; it doesn't concern you."

Shazhu: "I don't intervene?"

"If I don't, then no one will be able to keep him in check."

After saying that, he walked out.

Yu Li looked at Yu Haitang and asked, "What should we do about this?"

"Shazhu will definitely not let Xu Damao off."

Yu Haitang: "Enough of that; Xu Damao isn't stupid, he'll hide, and Shazhu won't find him right away."
