Xu Xu Damao felt that his reputation in the Four-Nine City, built up over so many years, had been completely ruined this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But he truly had no other choice. If he didn't marry the Old Lady quickly, she might get displeased and drag him to the police station, and then his life would be over!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Xu Xu Damao, hurry up and say something to these bastards! If you don't explain this clearly, you can just wait to die!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The Old Lady was so angry that her whole body was twitching, and she could only force Xu Xu Damao to speak up and explain for her.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"What the Old Lady says is true. I don't regret divorcing Lou Lou Xiaoe, and I did indeed come here to marry this Old Lady!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"She is not my grandmother, nor is she any relative of mine. My marriage to her is absolutely legal and compliant, and I didn't bring her here specifically to cause any trouble!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Hurry up and process the paperwork for me. There's no rule saying you can't get married right after a divorce, is there?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Xu Xu Damao gritted his teeth as he explained. Seeing the strange looks these people were giving him, Xu Xu Damao's heart was bleeding!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>In just one day, he had not only lost all his face but also divorced Lou Lou Xiaoe, and now he had to fall into the clutches of this Deaf Old Lady!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"What kind of joke are you two playing here? How old is this Old Lady? Xu Xu Damao, are you blind, or is your brain not working right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Do you really think you're going to marry her? If you two get married, how many more years can this Old Lady live? Are you planning to hold a funeral right after the wedding?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The staff member thought Xu Xu Damao was just looking for trouble and shouted anxiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"I say, you beast, who are you cursing? My body is still very sturdy, and I have a long life ahead of me! What do you mean by holding a funeral right after the wedding? Stop spouting nonsense!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"If you keep dawdling, believe it or not, I'll smash this place to pieces!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Upon hearing these words, the Old Lady exploded with rage, shouting frantically, and even grabbed things, threatening to smash them!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"I beg you, please give me the divorce certificate for him. This is one thing I have already thought through clearly. I really do want to marry him, because everything else is just wasting my time!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"What's it to you? I, Xu Xu Damao, am willing to divorce whoever I want and marry whoever I want. Do I need your permission?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Xu Xu Damao's expression was dark and stormy to the extreme. If things kept escalating like this and the Old Lady lost control, he would be finished.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>And so, Xu Xu Damao finally succeeded in marrying the Old Lady.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>However, both the Old Lady and Xu Xu Damao had offended everyone here, and their wedding photo was later posted on the street office's bulletin board.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The location was far too conspicuous; anyone coming here to handle business could see it clearly.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>In the photo, the Old Lady was leaning affectionately against Xu Xu Damao's neck. The photo was truly too much of an eyesore!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>What Xu Xu Damao hadn't expected was that these people would take revenge on him in such a way.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>If this photo stayed up, it wouldn't be long before this entire area, and perhaps the whole Four-Nine City, would know that he had actually married such an ugly old woman.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But later, Xu Xu Damao decided to swallow this insult. After all, the Old Lady hadn't left yet, and if he made her unhappy, he would be done for!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Afterward.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The Old Lady took her marriage certificate and returned to the Sihe Academy happily. After all, at her age, she could still marry a sturdy man like Xu Xu Damao.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>What was even more worth rejoicing about was that she finally had someone to help her in her old age and see her off at the end!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>What Xu Xu Damao didn't expect was that as soon as the Old Lady returned to the courtyard, she started showing off her marriage certificate excitedly. Everyone in the courtyard was left speechless!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>They couldn't see anything worth being happy about, as Xu Xu Damao had clearly been forced by the Old Lady to marry her.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>If it weren't for the fact that Xu Xu Damao might be executed, he would rather go to jail than marry this Old Lady!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"You all better look clearly! This is the marriage certificate for me and Xu Xu Damao. From now on, if anyone dares to call me, the Old Lady, a 'childless one' with no one to see me off in my old age, they're dead!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Look at how well this photo of me was taken! Look at how sweetly Xu Xu Damao and I are smiling!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The Old Lady was completely immersed in her own world, feeling that she and Xu Xu Damao were a match made in heaven!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>She had finally shaken off the label of being \"childless\" that had haunted her for so many years, and she no longer had to worry about dying alone in her house with no one to see her off!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The crowd left in embarrassment, knowing that the Old Lady was no different from a lunatic now, so they simply stopped talking to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Just like that, the somewhat self-humiliated Old Lady set her sights on Jia Jia Zhangshi's house!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>She saw that the door to the Jia house was open and assumed that Jia Jia Zhangshi had returned to the courtyard!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Moreover, when Jia Jia Zhangshi was caught by the people from the steel mill and taken to the police station, the Old Lady had been sleeping comfortably in her own home, completely unaware of what had happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>At this moment, the Old Lady carried her marriage certificate and arrived at Jia Jia Zhangshi's house in high spirits, shouting at the top of her lungs before she even entered.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>After all, she had been somewhat envious when she saw Jia Jia Zhangshi marry Sha Zhu earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Clearly, Jia Jia Zhangshi was no better than her, yet she had been able to marry Sha Zhu!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"You dead old woman, get out here and look! Look clearly, this is the marriage certificate for me and Xu Xu Damao!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Let's see how you can still be arrogant in front of me. Didn't you just marry a damn cook? Look at our Xu Xu Damao; he's a proper projectionist!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"His job is easy, he makes a lot of money every month, and he has a house! Your family doesn't even have a house now and is wandering the streets. Let's see what qualifications you have to be arrogant in front of me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The Old Lady was shouting frantically toward the inside of Jia Jia Zhangshi's house, clearly venting the dissatisfaction she had been holding in for these past few days.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But what the Old Lady didn't expect was that the person her shouting attracted wasn't Jia Jia Zhangshi, but Sha Zhu.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"You dead old woman, what are you shouting about here? Don't I need to rest? What kind of madness are you having!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"What did you just say? Say it again. You said you married Xu Xu Damao? Are you joking with me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Sha Zhu was impatient. He had been sleeping well in his room just a moment ago, but he had been woken up by the Old Lady's unpleasant, duck-like voice!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Now that he was awake, he was somewhat surprised. Was what the Old Lady said true? Xu Xu Damao had actually married this Old Lady!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Clearly, Sha Zhu hadn't returned to the courtyard last night and didn't know about the courtyard-wide meeting, nor did he know what Xu Xu Damao and the Old Lady had been up to.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Sha Zhu, why is it you? Where is that bastard Jia Jia Zhangshi? You two beasts made me lose my house!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Now that you have money to pay your rent, why aren't you paying me back!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"I'm telling you, you made me lose my house before, and now you must pay me back the money. Do you hear me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The Old Lady hadn't expected the person to come out to be Sha Zhu. She also felt that since Sha Zhu could return to live in Jia Jia Zhangshi's house, he must have money in his hands!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>She was currently paying monthly rent to Chen Tian, and such a large sum of money was not something she could afford.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Therefore, the old lady was also thinking about whether she could get Sha Zhu to pay her back quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"What are you spouting? I didn't force you to give me that house back then. Besides, it's not in my hands now; it's in Chen Tian's hands. If you have the ability, go find Chen Tian. I'm not giving you a single cent!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"And are you deaf? I'm asking you, what's going on with you and Xu Xu Damao? How could Xu Xu Damao marry a dead old woman like you...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Sha Zhu was very impatient. From start to finish, he had never thought about compensating the Old Lady for anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He only wanted to know what the relationship between Xu Xu Damao and the Old Lady was, so he could go and mock Xu Xu Damao later.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>After all, when Sha Zhu married Jia Jia Zhangshi earlier, Xu Xu Damao hadn't missed a chance to use that to disgust him.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"I think you're the one who's deaf! Didn't I just say it? I've already married Xu Xu Damao, and Xu Xu Damao is my husband now!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"And you must return that house to me. That's my house for a lifetime! Do you know that I'm paying 50 yuan in rent every month now!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Are you going to pay me back or not? If you don't, I'll have Xu Xu Damao kill you, believe it or not?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The Old Lady was furious. She hadn't expected Sha Zhu to be so thick-skinned that he didn't intend to pay her back.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>At this moment, the Old Lady was foolish enough to want to get Xu Xu Damao to come over and help her collect the money.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Sha Zhu found it somewhat amusing.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Go, go, go! I beg you to call Xu Xu Damao over. If he can take a single cent from my hands, I'll take your surname from now on!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>You have to know, Sha Zhu and Xu Xu Damao had never gotten along, and they had already fought countless times!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>It's just that every time they fought, Xu Xu Damao was the one who got beaten up. So, if the Old Lady called Xu Xu Damao over to threaten Sha Zhu, wouldn't that just be providing Sha Zhu with a punching bag to vent his anger on?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Sha Zhu had lost his house and his money, and he was just worrying about where to vent his anger. Having a human punching bag like Xu Xu Damao come over was something he couldn't be happier about!\u003C\u002Fp>",1930,"2026-06-16T18:44:26.629Z","2026-06-17T08:56:13.387Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","be2e724dcfa40ee3ee0084057fd07c9ae99a10aa8ed31591c6ac9c0e2897c1b0","siheyuan-confronting-widow-jia-and-sending-her-t-chapter-183","siheyuan-confronting-widow-jia-and-sending-her-t-chapter-181",308,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsiheyuan-confronting-widow-jia-and-sending-her-t-cover.jpg"]
