Chapter 424: Let's part on good terms

Yu Haitang's words made Xu Damao very depressed and angry.

But he also didn't dare to act against Yu Haitang.

Because he knew Yu Haitang too well.

If Yu Haitang were really pushed to the edge, she would do anything.

By then she might actually sell the house.

If she sold it to someone else, that would still be okay; the key is that Yu Haitang has already grasped his weak point.

She plans to sell it to the two people he fears most in this life.

Those two people, no matter who they are, he doesn't want to provoke them, especially Lin Shengli.

He doesn't want to give himself a chance to regret.

After taking a deep breath to suppress the raging anger in his heart, he patiently said:

"Forget it, we loved each other once, I won't argue with you anymore."

"Let's part on good terms."

Yu Haitang nodded and said:

"Fine, that's at least something human you said."

"Let's first clarify the matter of the house."

"We're divorced, I don't want this house either."

"I don't want to stay in this courtyard anymore."

"Just sell it."

Xu Damao: "Okay, but as I said before, you can only take one-third of the house payment."

Yu Haitang: "You're dreaming."

Xu Damao: "No, how am I dreaming?"

"This house is the ancestral property of our Xu family; my mother naturally also gets a share, so you can only take one-third."

Yu Haitang sneered: "Don't feed me that; I want half."

"As for your mother, you usually don't even care for her, and now you're suddenly being filial?"

"Xu Damao, don't think I don't know what you're up to—you just want to take two shares."

"I'm not an idiot."

Xu Damao: "Yes, you, Yu Haitang, are clever."

"I never thought you were stupid."

"Also, don't worry about whether I'm filial or not; this, this has nothing to do with the property."

"No matter what, legally my mother is entitled to a share."

"Even if you go to court, the judge will say the same; if you don't believe us, just wait and see."

"If you want to talk properly, I'll talk properly with you."

"If you want to play dirty, I'll play dirty with you."

"I've said it, this house is our family's ancestral property; why shouldn't my mother get a share?"

"You are indeed the Xu family's daughter-in-law, but my mother is also a daughter-in-law of the Xu family, right?"

"One should speak with reason."

Yu Haitang: "Reason?"

"You, Xu Damao, still talk about reason?"

"You have the nerve to speak of reason—aren't you afraid people will laugh their heads off?"

"What kind of person are you? The neighbors all know very well."

"You're nothing but a sneaky villain; I really must have been blind to marry you."

Xu Damao couldn't hold back any longer.

He got angry and shoved Yu Haitang.

Yu Haitang pointed at him and angrily demanded:

"Xu Damao, you actually dare to hit me?"

Xu Damao: "I just pushed you—does that count as hitting you?"

"If you say that, then I did hit you—what of it?"

Yu Haitang flew into a rage, raising her right hand to slap Xu Damao.

Little did she expect, Xu Damao had already been on guard.

Seeing this, he quickly grabbed her hand, pointed at her with the other, gave a cold chuckle, and said:

"Still want to get physical?"

"Yu Haitang, I've long been prepared for this move of yours."

As his words fell, a sudden crisp sound rang out.

It turned out Yu Haitang had slapped Xu Damao with her left hand, hard.

Five red handprints were left on his right cheek.

Xu Damao released Yu Haitang, one hand covering his burning cheek, the other pointing at her, saying in disbelief:

"Yu Haitang, you, you actually dare to act?"

"I see you won't shed a tear until you see the coffin."

Having said that, he pulled Yu Haitang over, ready to strike.

At the critical moment, a voice suddenly rang out: "Let go."

Xu Damao was startled, turned his head, and saw Shazhu walking in with his hands behind his back.

Just as he was dazed, Yu Haitang pushed Xu Damao aside.

Xu Damao looked at Shazhu and asked coldly, "Shazhu, you came uninvited; we don't welcome you."

Shazhu smiled and said, "Do I need your welcome?"

"This house is half Yu Haitang's; as long as she doesn't oppose, I can come in."

Saying that, he looked at Yu Haitang and asked:

"Haitang, you won't object to me coming in, right?"

Yu Haitang: "Of course I won't object."

"I know you're here to uphold justice."

"How could I possibly oppose?"

Shazhu looked at Xu Damao with a smug expression and asked:

"Xu Damao, did you see that?"

"Your wife doesn't object."

"I'm here to uphold justice for her."

Xu Damao pointed at Shazhu angrily:

"What does it have to do with you?"

"Shazhu, stop meddling like a dog catching a mouse."

Shazhu: "Hah, look at what you say."

"A dog catches a mouse because it's hungry."

"It catches the mouse to eat."

"How could that be meddling?"

"Upholding justice is never meddling."

Xu Damao: "Get lost, you think you're a savior?"

"Still talking about upholding justice."

Shazhu glared at Xu Damao and said in a deep voice:

"Say that again!"

Xu Damao instinctively took a step back.

Yu Haitang: "Shazhu, I'm willing to let you uphold justice, Xu Damao hit me."

Shazhu nodded, looked at Xu Damao, and asked:

"Xu Damao, are you hitting your wife?"

Xu Damao shouted, "What does it have to do with you?"

Shazhu frowned, and slowly walked toward Xu Damao.

Xu Damao retreated while pleading:

"Shazhu, stop, stop, I absolutely didn't, I definitely didn't hit her."

"It was she who hit me just now."

At this point he pointed to his right cheek and continued:

"See, there are five finger marks here."

Shazhu sneered, "Xu Damao, that's all the skill you have."

Yu Haitang pointed at Xu Damao and said to Shazhu:

"He did hit; he was the one who struck first."

"Xu Damao, you make me look down on you."

"Dare to act but can't take responsibility."

Xu Damao: "Don't be the villain who complains first."

"My five finger marks are still here; who hit whom is crystal clear."

Shazhu said irritably, "Fine, fine, that's enough."

"Stop shouting, stop shouting."

"If nothing was hit, that's it; why are you shouting?"

"Xu Damao, I'll tell you again."

"If you dare to lay a hand on anyone in this courtyard, don't blame me, Shazhu, for being impolite to you."

"I… I really can't let you walk out of this door with your legs."

Xu Damao heard that and immediately frowned.

Shazhu's threat was nakedly obvious.

But.

What could he do?

Right now he can't beat Shazhu.

If he clashes head‑on with Shazhu, he'll be the one who suffers in the end.

This Shazhu is truly fierce.

He really doesn't want to touch this matter.

Xu Damao took a deep breath, waved his hand, and said irritably:

"Stop talking about useless things."

Let's talk about serious matters.

This property, 3131, no negotiation.

If you want it, be quick about it, don't waffle.

My property, I'm not worried about no one wanting it.
