Chapter 76: Xu Damao Takes Revenge on Shazhu

But come to think of it, it makes sense; Zhao Gangzi is now a Third-Level Fitter, his base salary alone is 40 yuan, plus the 5 yuan subsidy from the Rolling Mill, and even the 2 yuan subsidy for the Jia Family is now with Zhao Gangzi.

Besides, the incident last time where Yi Zhonghai embezzled Zhao Gangzi's subsidy caused quite a stir, and in the end, it took the wife of Yi Zhonghai bringing out several hundred yuan to settle the matter; one can imagine just how substantial Zhao Gangzi's family fortune is now.

He must have at least four figures in savings.

And this is undoubtedly a wealthy household; in the entire Siheyuan, you could count on your fingers the number of families who could pull out four figures in savings.

"It seems I can't target him anymore; it's better to build a good relationship and visit more often," Yan Bugui thought to himself. Now that the man even has a bicycle, if they were on good terms, he could borrow it if any emergency arose.

Third Uncle was also calculating well in his heart; after all, taking from others makes one's hands short, and eating from others makes one's mouth soft. Even if his impression wasn't great before, after eating the man's peanuts and melon seeds this time, he should make some changes.

However, not everyone managed to grab melon seeds. Jia Dongxu was already disabled, and after squeezing into the crowd, he was kicked back out. Bang Geng is also a little simple-minded, following behind others to pick up and eat melon seed shells.

"Dad, you try some too. The flavor on these melon seed shells is really good; sucking on them is really satisfying," Bang Geng picked up a handful of shells, sucking on them in his mouth, while one hand kept waving the shells in front of Jia Dongxu.

Jia Dongxu frowned.

He reached out and slapped Bang Geng first, then snatched those melon seed shells away, cursing: "How did I, your father, give birth to a simple-minded thing like you? It's a misfortune for the family!"

Afterward, Jia Dongxu picked out some of the drier melon seed shells, stuffed them into his mouth to suck on, and revealed an expression of enjoyment.

"Luckily, your mother still has one in her belly; if it's a boy, there's hope for the revival of my Lao Jia family..."

"Slurp, these melon seed shells are actually quite flavorful. Good son, hurry up and go pick up some more."

Jia Dongxu directed Bang Geng to go pick up the leftover melon seed pieces from others, while he rummaged through that empty sack himself; there wasn't even a single peanut left...

Turning his head to look at the others, peeling peanuts and cracking melon seeds, his anger flared up instantly.

"It pisses me off! These bloodsuckers don't leave a single thing for our family. We're living like this, and they don't even know to help us out or share their melon seeds with us."

"This Zhao Gangzi is also a Zhou Bapi; with just this little bit of stuff, who is it enough to share with?"

Jia Dongxu lay on the ground cursing loudly, but no one paid him any mind; everyone was busy cracking melon seeds in the courtyard. Before long, the entire Front Courtyard was covered in melon seed shells and peanut husks.

So many melon seed shells and peanut husks made Jia Dongxu's mouth water; he thought to himself that if the shells could be sucked on, these peanut husks must have a bit of flavor too...

This scene, which looked like the New Year, really angered Third Uncle Yan Bugui. These guys were throwing shells everywhere; there was a pile right in front of his own door, and he would have to clean it up with his own old bones later.

"Come, Bang Geng, come pick some up in front of Third Uncle's door. The melon seed shells in front of our house are delicious," Third Uncle hurriedly called for Bang Geng to come pick up the trash, and when Bang Geng saw it was true, he scurried over happily.

Seeing this scene left Qin Huairu speechless; no wonder Jia Dongxu and Bang Geng were father and son, their IQs had a bit in common.

Why hadn't she noticed that back when she hadn't married over yet!

At the thought of this, Qin Huairu couldn't help but feel a sharp pain in her heart.

Seeing the sky gradually darken, Yi Zhonghai began to tremble uncontrollably again, always feeling a chill down his back, and he hurriedly had his wife accompany him home.

He didn't dare stay outside for even a moment; after all, the Seven-Day Ghost-Seeing Talisman that Zhao Gangzi used on Yi Zhonghai hadn't expired yet.

Seeing Yi Zhonghai leave, Shazhu also prepared to go back. He had watched the excitement for so long, yet he hadn't even eaten a single melon seed kernel.

"Isn't it just a bicycle? I'll buy one later too, and I'll buy peanuts and melon seeds," Shazhu muttered incessantly, leaning on his crutch and clutching his buttocks as he went home.

At the same time, he began to fantasize about Zhao Gangzi's newly bought bicycle; after all, that was a bicycle! As long as one is a man, who could not have thoughts about a brand-new bicycle?

If he bought a bicycle himself, wouldn't he be the most handsome guy in the entire Siheyuan?

When the time came, Shazhu would sit in the front, Qin Huairu would sit on the back seat, and Shazhu's life could be considered perfect.

"Hehe, I'm going to save money to buy one too," Shazhu lay on the bed, thinking about this happily, and soon drifted off to sleep.

Outside the Siheyuan.

Xu Damao walked in stumbling, holding a wine bottle. At this moment, Xu Damao's eyes were dull; he took a gulp from the bottle and said dejectedly: "How could I be infertile? I'm so healthy, yet I'm missing a ball!"

"Our Old Xu family has been a single-child line for three generations! Sob sob sob..."

"Gulp... gulp..."

I was only spreading rumors that Zhao Gangzi was infertile, just playing a small joke, so why did the retribution come so fast? I'm actually infertile myself!

The more Xu Damao thought about this, the less he could accept it; he hadn't been able to rise to the occasion before, and now he had completely withered.

Who could stand this?

"Sigh!" Xu Damao reached in and touched it; it was just as the doctor said, one was missing, and the other had failed to develop, damn it—it was as small as a peanut kernel, almost impossible to feel!

Xu Damao wasn't paying attention and stepped on a patch of peanut husks, which instantly crunched and crackled, giving Xu Damao a sudden jolt and sobering him up a bit.

The doctor said it was due to years of external trauma, leading to local necrosis and subsequent detachment, and the other one was in much the same condition.

"Damn it, it must be that thief Shazhu! He kicked me every day before, ah! He kicked me into a peanut kernel!"

"I want revenge!"

"I want to make Shazhu pay the price!"

Xu Damao let out a roar of resentment in the dark night.

Afterward, he drank the wine in the bottle dry in one breath, and taking advantage of the alcohol, Xu Damao snuck to the door of Shazhu's house in the Middle Courtyard, ready to begin his revenge plan.

Shazhu was still sleeping soundly at home, and Xu Damao now knew that Shazhu's body had some issues, so he definitely wouldn't be a match for him if he went to ambush him in the middle of the night.

Because Shazhu's house didn't lock the door, Xu Damao got in very easily. At this moment, Shazhu was snoring away, and seeing this, Xu Damao charged straight over.

"Shazhu! Give me back my ball!"

Xu Damao's eyes were wide open, like a glaring Vajra, and he used the wine bottle to deliver a fierce, violent blow to Shazhu's buttocks.

This blow caused Shazhu's just-scabbed buttocks to suffer a major injury again, and Shazhu, who was in a deep sleep, suddenly opened his eyes; at the same time, a painful howl rang out from Shazhu's house.
