Chapter 100: The Beasts Fall into the Trap

The good show has begun!

After Wang Meipo's cousin, Wang Xiulan, was full, she left He Yuzhu's house to go to the toilet outside the Siheyuan under the excuse of an urgent need to urinate.

This was all arranged by He Yuzhu in advance.

As soon as Wang Xiulan came out of the toilet, she was bumped by Xu Damao.

"Comrade, I'm sorry. I was walking too fast just now and didn't see the road, and accidentally bumped into you. I'm sorry," Xu Damao apologized repeatedly.

This was Xu Damao's routine: first find an excuse to get to know the other party, and then take the next step: get close.

Wang Xiulan looked up and saw a long face appear in front of her. Listening to these familiar words, Wang Xiulan was speechless.

Because He Yuzhu had already predicted Xu Damao's behavior.

"Comrade, are you okay? Should I take you to the hospital to see?" Xu Damao asked, seemingly concerned but actually secretly happy.

As long as the other party didn't slap his face as soon as he came up, Xu Damao was confident he could ruin He Yuzhu's blind date.

This time, Xu Damao not only wanted to ruin He Yuzhu's blind date but also wanted to pry He Yuzhu's blind date partner over. Because Xu Damao also took a fancy to Wang Xiulan.

"No need, I didn't suffer any injuries, why go to the hospital?" Wang Xiulan had the intention of watching a good show in her heart, so she actively cooperated and said.

"I should still take you to the hospital. What if you have some internal injuries? How embarrassing," Xu Damao said.

"It's okay, really okay," Wang Xiulan said.

"Oh, it's okay. By the way, Comrade, I live in a Siheyuan nearby. How come I haven't seen you before?" Xu Damao pretended to say.

"Oh, my home is not here. I came here for a blind date with my cousin today," Wang Xiulan saw Xu Damao enter the theme and couldn't help but say along the way.

"Blind date? There is someone in our Siheyuan having a blind date today. Could it be that the one you are having a blind date with is Shazhu?" Xu Damao widened his eyes and said with a shocked look.

Wang Xiulan rolled her eyes in secret. If He Yuzhu hadn't told her everything in advance, Wang Xiulan might have really followed Xu Damao's train of thought, because Xu Damao acted too much like it, especially that shocked look, which was acted like the real thing.

"Shazhu? No, the one I'm having a blind date with is He Yuzhu," Wang Xiulan said without a trace.

"He Yuzhu is Shazhu, Shazhu is He Yuzhu. Sigh, it's not that I'm talking about you, you are a perfectly good big girl, how could you take a fancy to this bastard Shazhu?" Xu Damao said with a look of regret. That look was as real as it could be.

"This comrade, what do you mean by this?" Wang Xiulan pretended not to understand.

"Sigh, originally, speaking ill of people behind their backs is immoral, but I really don't want you to fall into a fire pit. I'll just tell you the truth..." Xu Damao said.

At this time, if you looked closely at Xu Damao's expression, you would find that Xu Damao's face was extremely complex, with three parts hesitation, three parts guilt, three parts firmness, and a trace of secret joy.

Xu Damao started to talk on and on, accompanied by hand-waving body language from time to time.

Listening to Xu Damao's words, Wang Xiulan couldn't help but sigh in her heart: "If He Yuzhu hadn't told me everything in advance, I would have really believed Xu Damao's evil; if I were really here for a blind date and didn't know the root of the matter, I'm afraid I would have really believed Xu Damao's words, and this blind date would have been completely ruined."

Xu Damao was too good at talking, and everything he said sounded like the real thing.

"Comrade, you've been standing here for a long time and must be tired. Why don't I take you out for a stroll, and by the way, buy me some gifts to express my apology? Since you're already here, you can't come for nothing," Xu Damao said.

This was Xu Damao's second step: throwing money.

As long as the person who came for the blind date was shaken in her heart, under Xu Damao's flowery tongue, most would leave with Xu Damao, and then Xu Damao would take the opportunity to throw money, whether it was going to a hotel for a meal or going to Wangfujing for a stroll, Xu Damao would show his financial power and attract the other party.

"Forget it, I came with my cousin, and I have to go back with my cousin. Even if the blind date doesn't succeed, I have to have a beginning and an end," Wang Xiulan said.

After Wang Xiulan finished speaking, she ignored Xu Damao's persuasion and returned to He Yuzhu's house, telling him what had just happened.

"Sigh, Pillar, I didn't expect there to be such a person in your courtyard. If you want to marry a wife, you must not spread it everywhere. It's best to do it privately. If you want to go on a blind date, go to my place. Don't bring them to the courtyard house. With someone like Xu Damao here, it's hard if you want to get married," Matchmaker Wang said.

"Many thanks, Aunt Wang. I know, that's why I wanted to test out who doesn't want me to get married," He Yuzhu said.

"What do you mean? Pillar, you mean it's not just Xu Damao who doesn't want you to get married?" Matchmaker Wang was stunned.

"Whether it is or not, let's continue to act," He Yuzhu said.

"Right! Let's continue to act. I want to see which immoral bastards are doing such conscience-less things," Wang Meipo said viciously.

It was no wonder Wang Meipo was angry. The actions of people like Xu Damao were ruining their matchmaker business.

If everyone had someone like Xu Damao when they went on a blind date, who could succeed?

The matchmaker profession relied entirely on reputation. The success rate determined the matchmaker's income. If Wang Meipo introduced one and it failed, not only would Wang Meipo become a laughingstock in this line, but she would also have no income.

Subsequently, Wang Meipo and Wang Xiulan pretended to chat with He Yuzhu for a few words, and then left the Siheyuan looking like guests having a good time.

"Pillar, I think this matter is almost done. You should prepare what you need to prepare. I heard you want to decorate the house? You did the right thing. Hurry up and tidy up the house, then welcome your new wife home," Matchmaker Wang said on purpose at the gate when leaving the courtyard house.

Although the sound wasn't very loud, it was enough for those hiding in the dark to hear.

Wang Xiulan took the opportunity to show a shy look, lowering her eyebrows and standing behind Wang Meipo.

After Wang Meipo finished speaking, she took Wang Xiulan and left happily. He Yuzhu looked like he was beaming with joy.

Xu Damao, who was hiding in the dark and eavesdropping, looked like he had been bitten by a dog. He had said so many bad things about Shazhu, why didn't the other party listen?

Xu Damao indicated he couldn't figure it out.

"Damao, what's there to not figure out?" Yan Bugui said with a smile.

It wasn't just Xu Damao who was eavesdropping on Wang Meipo's words, but also Yan Bugui and his wife. Yan Bugui wasn't just eavesdropping, but also saw every move of Xu Damao, including Xu Damao adding fuel to the fire and saying bad things to Wang Xiulan.

"This time, the person Wang Meipo brought is her cousin, who must have been prepared in advance. People aren't fools. Won't they go around and ask about it afterwards? Do they have to listen to your one-sided words?"

"Even if what you said is true, don't forget, Pillar is a leader now. I don't need to exert effort to say what a leader represents."

"Besides, Pillar's conditions are not bad either. He has a house, money, technology, and a high salary. Such a person is a hot commodity for any matchmaker. Otherwise, why would Matchmaker Wang bring her cousin?"

"This matter, I think it's eight or nine out of ten," Yan Bugui said with a smile.

The brighter Yan Bugui's face smiled, the darker and gloomier Xu Damao's face became.

"This dog-day Shazhu, so what if he's a leader? I, Grandpa, can also be a leader!" Xu Damao said hatefully, then turned and went home. Xu Damao, who returned home, began to ponder how to pull He Yuzhu down. Xu Damao's dejected look fell into the eyes of Qin Huairu and the Deaf Old Lady respectively, and both of them felt a 'thump' in their hearts, secretly saying: "Something big is bad."

The Deaf Old Lady endured the pain in her leg and couldn't wait to walk out of the house with a cane to the middle courtyard, and saw He Yuzhu's smiling look.

The Deaf Old Lady's heart kept sinking.

The Deaf Old Lady believed that Xu Damao must have sabotaged it. Looking at Xu Damao's look, it was obvious that he hadn't succeeded in sabotaging it.

The Deaf Old Lady knew Xu Damao's ability. He might not be good in other aspects, but he was definitely good at this. However, Xu Damao failed this time, which showed that He Yuzhu's blind date partner was someone with extreme ideas.

The Deaf Old Lady liked people with extreme ideas the least. Having extreme ideas meant it was hard to fool and hard to manipulate.

The Deaf Old Lady's face was gloomy and uncertain. After looking at Qin Huairu's house, she couldn't help but sigh. Qin Huairu was the killer move to ruin He Yuzhu's blind date, but Qin Huairu was in postpartum confinement and couldn't see the wind, so she couldn't leave the house.

The Deaf Old Lady decided to see this girl herself.

"Little Yan, let Jiekuang pull me out on a flatbed cart," the Deaf Old Lady took out two mao.

Yan Bugui immediately took the money and let Yan Jiekuang pull the flatbed cart out. As for where the Deaf Old Lady was going, Yan Bugui could guess with his toes.

Yan Bugui saw through it but didn't say it, so he let Yan Jiekuang pull the Deaf Old Lady away.

As soon as Wang Meipo arrived home and hadn't had time to drink a cup of hot water, the Deaf Old Lady arrived.

As soon as Wang Meipo heard the Deaf Old Lady's reason, she knew that the Deaf Old Lady was also here to sabotage, and couldn't help but feel tired for He Yuzhu.

Wang Xiulan was also sitting on the side listening to the Deaf Old Lady talking nonsense seriously.

Wang Xiulan was also very speechless. If they hadn't greeted each other in advance, perhaps even she would have retreated.

The Deaf Old Lady was very good at talking, especially since the Deaf Old Lady acted as He Yuzhu's grandmother, pretending to be a reasonable and kind look, and could speak words into your heart. Most people, or the vast majority of people, really couldn't resist this Deaf Old Lady.

Xu Damao's little ability was simply a minor witch compared to the Deaf Old Lady.

"Old Lady, I only believe what I see with my eyes. I know you are doing it for my own good, but I believe in Pillar brother more. I believe Pillar brother will be good to me," Wang Xiulan said decisively.

No way, the play had to be acted out.

In the end, Wang Xiulan and Wang Meipo teamed up to drive the Deaf Old Lady away.

"Master He, it's really a bumpy fate. Running into such neighbors, it's all bad luck for eight lifetimes. Why do they do this?" Wang Xiulan asked in confusion.

"I know a little bit about this. Xu Damao and He Yuzhu have been at odds since childhood and are natural enemies. Xu Damao naturally wants to sabotage."

"The Deaf Old Lady is likely for the problem of old-age support. The Deaf Old Lady wants to find someone who can support her in her old age. Didn't you notice? At the beginning, the Deaf Old Lady didn't directly interfere, but after you clearly refused to support her in her old age, the Deaf Old Lady started to interfere with this marriage," Wang Meipo said.

"This kind of thing requires mutual consent, how is it full of calculations?" Wang Xiulan frowned and said.

"It's a problem of human nature and human heart. By now, two people have already interfered with Little He's marriage. Little He must never go on a blind date in the Siheyuan in the future," Wang Meipo sighed.

"I don't know if anyone else will come," Wang Xiulan sighed.

"I have been in the matchmaker industry for so many years, and I have never seen such a thing. The more they don't want Little He to get married, the more I will match Little He. I don't believe it, I can't match Little He!" Wang Meipo said through gritted teeth.

Wang Meipo and Wang Xiulan waited until evening and didn't wait for anyone, so they decided to go to He Yuzhu's house to show their cards and finish the job.

It wasn't that Qin Huairu didn't want to interfere, but she really couldn't go out.

Qin Huairu wanted to ask her mother to help interfere with this marriage, but Qin Mu refused without even thinking.

"It's better to tear down ten temples than to destroy one marriage. Doing this kind of thing will be met with retribution. Daughter, you are just higher than the sky in fate and thinner than paper in heart, looking at yourself too high and looking at others too stupid."

"Everything should start from reality. If you have that energy, ponder about spending some money to walk through connections and let the factory leaders arrange a good position for you. Isn't that better than anything?" Qin Mu said.

"Sigh, Mom, you don't understand," Qin Huairu said.

"It's you who don't understand," Qin Mu said.

The two had different thoughts and naturally couldn't talk about the same thing.

Qin Huairu could only watch the Deaf Old Lady return home angrily, and watch Wang Meipo and Wang Xiulan come to the Siheyuan.

The fact that the two of them came to the Siheyuan meant it was a success. Qin Huairu, with great perseverance, resolutely decided to get up and go to He Yuzhu's house to clean and wash clothes.

Unfortunately, Qin Huairu was too weak after giving birth. After forcing herself to get up, she stumbled and fell back onto the bed. Just as Qin Huairu was struggling to get up, she was pressed down by Qin Mu.

"Daughter, you have had your own ideas since you were a child. Mom has never opposed you, but you can't go to this matter today. Even if you are not for yourself, you have to consider the three siblings of Bang Geng," Qin Mu said.

"I am considering Bang Geng and the others. If Shazhu gets married, he will definitely not help me anymore," Qin Huairu said.

"You are not helping Bang Geng and the others by doing this, but harming them. Haven't you seen it yet? With your mother-in-law in the Jia family, all evil things are done, and the virtue is thin!"

"Otherwise, whether it's your father-in-law or Dongxu, they wouldn't have left in their prime. This is all retribution. It is retribution for your father-in-law and Dongxu, and also retribution for your mother-in-law!"

"If you don't want Bang Geng to leave early like them, you had better think more and accumulate more virtue in the future," Qin Mu said.

At this time, people still believed in this quite a bit.

Upon hearing this, Qin Huairu couldn't help but be stunned. Qin Huairu really hadn't thought about the Jia family's affairs from this angle. Suddenly, Qin Huairu remembered that Jia Zhangshi would summon Old Jia whenever she had nothing to do. Was it because she had tossed away all the little virtue the family originally had?

"You can find a way to let Shazhu help you, but you can't use such an immoral method," Qin Mu said in a deep voice, firmly preventing Qin Huairu from interfering with He Yuzhu's marriage.

Qin Mu deeply believed in this set. She was afraid that the things Qin Huairu did would be met with retribution on her, so she naturally strongly prevented Qin Huairu.

In the end, Qin Huairu lay back on the bed.

After Wang Meipo and Wang Xiulan arrived at He Yuzhu's house, they told the story of what happened after they left in detail. He Yuzhu had long guessed that Xu Damao and the Deaf Old Lady would sabotage, but Qin Huairu not moving at all made He Yuzhu a little surprised.

He Yuzhu waited for a while longer and found that Qin Huairu was still staying in the house without any intention of moving, so he went to the backyard to find Liu Haizhong and asked Liu Haizhong to call on everyone to hold a full-courtyard meeting.

He Yuzhu waited for a while longer and, seeing that Qin Huairu was still staying inside the room without the slightest intention of moving, he went to the rear courtyard to find Liu Haizhong and demanded that Liu Haizhong call upon everyone to hold a full-courtyard meeting.
