Chapter 251: Xu Damao Seeks the Scripture

Forty-fifty? Go fuck yourself.

He can't afford to fall behind on this, or he'll easily get stabbed in the back.

Thinking of Sha Zhu showing off, he wanted to give him two ear slaps.

Moreover, Yi Zhonghai and Sha Zhu now appear to be joining forces.

Without a child, he'll be bullied by them.

"Let's not talk about the child for now."

"Yang Qing, do you want to take care of Liu Hai Zhong?"

Yang Qing looked at Xu Damao in surprise.

"Did Er Da Ye offend you?"

Xu Damao shook his head.

"No, it's not that; Sha Zhu disgusts me every day."

"I'll help you take care of Liu Hai Zhong, and you help me take care of Sha Zhu."

Yang Qing doesn't currently have the inclination to deal with Liu Hai Zhong.

"My child was just born; it's not convenient to get involved."

"Let's talk about it later."

Seeing Yang Qing unmoved, Xu Damao got a bit anxious.

"Come on, Sha Zhu used to bully you a lot; you were kicked out of the steel mill, he took your crucian carp, and hasn't helped you investigate."

"With a person like that, if not him, who else should we deal with?"

Yang Qing showed a troubled expression.

"I really don't have time; besides, Liu Shumin has run me ragged like a dog."

"How awful?"

"I find it hard to bear watching."

Xu Damao didn't want to just let it go.

"Then help me come up with an idea, as repayment for me helping you investigate the behind-the-scenes culprit."

After Xu Damao said that, Yang Qing found it hard to refuse.

He thought for a moment, then said.

"Remember the matter of Liu Guang Qi?"

"You say, could someone have known in advance that Liu Guang Qi would flee?"

"And even covered for Liu Guang Qi."

Xu Damao pointed at himself.

"I know about this."

Yang Qing waved his hand.

"It could be He Yuzhu."

Xu Damao suddenly realized.

"You mean, let Er Da Ye and He Yuzhu fight each other?"

"This plan is good; it kills two birds with one stone."

Yang Qing silently recited in his heart.

"Sha Zhu, let this be your retribution for taking the fish and not doing anything."

Yang Qing felt that Sha Zhu would never escape Liu Shumin's clutches for his whole life.

Who made him a sycophant, completely manipulated, suffering; he should look for the causes within himself.

Amen!

In this world, the truth is often not important.

On the future internet, false news runs rampant, and many news portals push news based on controversy rather than truth.

Even many fake news stories are fabricated by the news media themselves.

Most people not only enjoy watching it, but are even exploited into committing illegal acts.

Here, the truth is not important to Liu Hai Zhong either; he now needs an outlet.

His son ran away for two years and never came to see him; the remaining two increasingly disregard him, angering him daily and bullying him.

He's about to die from frustration.

He dares not hit back, can't win in arguments, and is about to be destroyed.

So, Yang Qing's poisonous plan is likely to succeed.

Don't forget, Sha Zhu also looks down on Er Da Ye.

The two people huddled together whispering, attracting Zhao Ruoyun's attention.

She furrowed her brow, seeing the two whispering, and knew they weren't saying anything good.

At night, after everyone had left, Zhao Ruoyun came to the west room.

Now that they're familiar, Zhao Ruoyun no longer hides anything.

"In a couple days we'll be going back; I have some things I want to tell you—will you listen?"

Seeing his mother-in-law so serious, Yang Qing immediately promised.

"Listen, I'll listen to you and no one else, Mom, rest assured, I'll remember everything you tell me."

Zhao Ruoyun, in front of Chen Hong and Chen Feng, scolded him.

"Since you listen to me, from now on hang out less with that Xu Damao; in my observation, he's not a good person."

"And Yi Zhonghai in the front courtyard isn't a good person either; from now on, stay away from them."

Chen Hong said.

"Mom, the milk powder for the meatballs was given by others; if you say that, how is Yang Qing supposed to behave?"

Zhao Ruoyun was unconvinced.

"The one who sent the gifts was Lou Xiao'e, not Xu Damao; I think Lou Xiao'e is a decent person, sigh, she just married the wrong man."

"I, your mother, judge people well; Xu Damao only sees himself, everything he says and does is self-centered."

"That Yi Zhonghai looks like a gentleman on the outside, but he hides selfishness within, which is totally contrary to righteousness."

"Someone like that isn't any good; his so-called righteousness is just for show when judging others."

"Don't get deeply involved."

"They're all traps."

Yang Qing never expected his mother-in-law's judgment to be so accurate.

It's as if she can see right into a person's bones.

His face stiffened; he wondered whether his mother-in-law had already seen through his rotten nature.

He felt terribly insecure.

With such a formidable mother-in-law, if she doesn't take a liking to him, he'll surely suffer.

Zhao Ruoyun seemed to see what he was thinking and gave him a glare.

"Don't feel guilty; although you're not a good kid, you have ambition in your heart, so you won't become too bad."

"Speak up, will you listen to me or not?"

Yang Qing nodded repeatedly.

"Listen, listen, listen—we've never had any dealings with Yi Zhonghai."

"Xu Damao is a true petty person, so he's not that scary; I'll be careful."

"I also don't want to keep my distance from him, but our courtyard is full of troublemakers; this genuine petty person Xu Damao is more useful than those so-called good people."

Zhao Ruoyun thought about it and agreed that made sense.

"Then you must be careful to keep proper bounds."

"Come on, tell me what you're scheming about today."

Only then did Yang Qing realize that his and Xu Damao's sneaky behavior had aroused his mother-in-law's suspicion.

So he told the whole story, without hiding anything.

After hearing it, his mother-in-law felt relieved, but still gave a reminder.

"You'd better do less of this; there are no walls that don't let wind through, the more you do, the more clues you leave, and someday someone will find out."

"Since you know your courtyard is full of troublemakers, there's no need to deliberately do this."

"They can play themselves to death."

"If you really can't let out this anger, just occasionally add fuel to the fire."

"Go with the flow, don't be obstinate."

Chen Hong nodded slightly.

"I think what Mother said makes sense."

She had long held opinions about Yang Qing's scheming.

Like a petty person lurking in the shadows.

Not really to her taste.

If she hadn't already married Yang Qing, the two of them really wouldn't have ended up together.

When his own wife spoke up, Yang Qing echoed her again.

"Okay, we'll all listen to Mother."

Seeing Yang Qing so obedient to her daughter's words, Zhao Ruoyun's worries eased considerably.

She knows what kind of person her daughter is.

With her daughter keeping him in check, Yang Qing probably wouldn't do anything too outrageous.

Chen Feng stood aside, silently listening to their discussion, and learned a great deal of knowledge beyond the books.

He hadn't realized it before, but since coming to Jingcheng, his mother's displayed insight has truly opened his eyes.

He wanted to shout out loud.

Mom is awesome.
