Chapter 53: Destruction

Xu Damao watched Qin Huairu return in defeat, his heart grew a bit more anxious.

He would come out to take a look, then go back, then come out again to take a look.

In the end, Jia Dongxu called him into the house.

"Xu Damao, what are you doing, coming back for a moment then going out again?"

Xu Damao gave the couple a meaningful glance.

"Let's be frank, I want to mess up Sha Zhu's marriage."

"Will you help me?"

Qin Huairu stopped Jia Dongxu from speaking.

"Brother Xu Damao, sit down and chat with your brother Jia for a while."

"Sister-in-law, pour you some water."

Her doing this counts as tacit approval.

The three of them said nothing more, just silently stared out the window.

Bang Geng and Xiao Dang stared strangely at the three people.

He wrote his homework while asking softly.

"What's wrong with Mom and Dad today?"

Xiao Dang didn't know either.

"Who knows? Maybe they don't have to work today; adults rest like this."

"Brother, never mind them, one plus one equals... what is four times seven again?"

Bang Geng turned his head and said.

"I don't know, don't delay my homework."

Xiao Dang pursed his lips and began drawing dot by dot on paper with his pen.

After Yang Qing and his wife finished Household Chores at home, Yang Qing thought of Sha Zhu.

"Today Sha Zhu is on a blind date, do you want to go watch?"

Yang Qing said to Chen Hong.

Chen Hong asked doubtfully.

"What's there to watch about a blind date?"

Yang Qing gave a hehe laugh.

"You wouldn't know that."

"I'll tell you..."

Yang Qing related the whole story, and Chen Hong's worldview was shattered once again.

"There are still people like that?"

"Isn't this bullying a foolish child?"

Yang Qing also nodded.

"Who says it isn't!"

Usually every village has a fool, and there are some people who enjoy bullying fools.

This is a very common component of society.

Later, as society developed, honest people began to fall into such roles; bullying honest people also became another form of bullying fools.

Gradually, honest people became synonymous with fools.

Society has actually never changed much; fools, madmen, whores, petty people, shrews...

These are humanity's labels, impossible to remove.

Chen Hong grabbed Yang Qing and headed outside.

"Such a famous scene, we ought to witness it."

Saying that, the two came to the Moon Gate of the second courtyard, a good place to hide.

The two leaned together again, watching the movements in the courtyard.

At that moment, Liu Guang Qi returned from outside and saw the couple.

Upon seeing Chen Hong, Liu Guang Qi froze.

He stared, mouth agape, and asked Yang Qing.

"Yang, Yang Qing, is this your wife?"

No wonder Liu Guang Qi was surprised; Chen Hong's change was truly huge.

Originally a skeleton, after a few months of recovery, it actually became beautiful.

Yang Qing proudly nodded.

"Yes, how beautiful is it?"

Liu Guang Qi swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

It made Chen Hong nauseous; she fiercely showed her fist to Liu Tianqi.

"What are you looking at?"

Liu Tianqi's sudden flutter of heart from Chen Hong's beauty vanished instantly.

"Damn, it's too hard on the eyes."

"A beauty's exterior, a bear's interior."

Looking again at Chen Hong's physique, that sense of oppression, Liu Guang Qi shook his head.

"Can't afford it, can't afford it."

No, no, just passing by, just passing by………

He ran away.

Chen Hong gave a scornful laugh.

As her constitution recovered, Chen Hong's temper flared; she would throw punches at the slightest disagreement, making Yang Qing extremely happy.

Just then, He Yuzhu and matchmaker Qiu Fengling walked out, talking and laughing.

He Yuzhu was still pushing the cart, following the matchmaker as the two went out.

No sooner had the three left than Xu Damao appeared from the Jia family.

Soon after, he disappeared.

Before long, He Yushui also appeared.

She looked at the Yi Zhonghai household, then at the Qin Huairu household, and turned back, intending to go home.

She saw Yang Qing stretching his neck, two mouths.

He Yushui ran over.

"Brother Qing'er, what are you doing here?"

Yang Qing smiled.

"We were just watching the excitement, but now there's none left; we're heading back."

He then pulled Chen Hong and walked back.

This scene was just seen by Yi Zhonghai, the Lei-sending Master.

"When did He Yushui become so close to Yang Qing?"

His face grew solemn.

These He family siblings are getting a bit out of control.

Afterward, he headed toward the Jia family.

From Qin Huairu's mouth, he learned that Sha Zhu had gone out with his partner.

Yi Zhonghai only felt a sudden wave of anxiety.

Sha Zhu had learned to play mind games with him, and that was the cause of his anxiety.

Yesterday's words of his were treated as wind in the ears.

He Yushui also saw from the window that Yi Zhonghai had entered the Jia family's home.

Everything Yang Qing had told her was verified one by one.

What she had been unsure about before is now completely certain.

The adult world is too complicated; she felt she should hide herself better, otherwise she could be completely consumed by these people.

On the other side, Xu Damao furtively followed Sha Zhu all the way, seeing the two talk more and more, their relationship seeming quite good.

Xu Damao's inner feelings grew more agitated.

"Sha Zhu, you've bullied me since childhood, and you still want to marry me? Impossible."

He couldn't beat him in a fight, and complaining was useless; Xu Damao's hatred for He Yuzhu was gnashing his teeth, he was ostracized, isolated, bullied, and most of the time Sha Zhu was involved.

Sha Zhu was like a sword in Yi Zhonghai's hand, used to deal with unruly oddballs in the courtyard.

Yang Qing is one, and Xu Damao is another.

Bullying Yang Qing, the Jia family was the main force, but now Yang Qing had sent Jia Zhangshi to a labor camp.

As for those who bully him, Sha Zhu is the main force, but he himself is powerless; he is unwilling and must make those who bully him pay the price.

Xu Damao had been following them all afternoon.

Finally, in the evening, the two parted ways.

Xu Damao followed Qiu Fengling and found her home.

This time he took the matchmaker's lesson to heart and did not go straight over to cause trouble.

Instead, he remembered the location and inquired around about the family's situation.

"The daughter of the owner of the Qiu family tea shop?"

"Turns out she's a capitalist's daughter."

"How did he end up thinking the same as me?"

Wanting to marry a wife with good conditions, and a woman whose looks rival Qin Huairu's, according to their standards, a capitalist's daughter is the most likely candidate.

As for the rest, they're just ordinary workers—nothing short of daydreaming.

Xu Damao began to act.

"Have you heard? The Qiu family's daughter is going to marry a man who ran away from his father and has an unclear relationship with his brother's wife."

"Really?"

"No, you don't know, but that man's name is Sha Zhu."

"Why is he called Sha Zhu, and why isn't anyone else called Sha Zhu?"

"That's because this person really is stupid; in the courtyard he acknowledged a grandmother, and he treats their elder uncle as a godfather, and also has an unclear relationship with his brother's wife."

"Someone like that? How could the old Qiu family approve of him?"

"Eh, what's the matter? Maybe he's a capitalist, or maybe he has some strange hobbies."

"I think, Old Qiu boss, it's because he's done something bad and feels guilty, so he's rushing to find a man for his daughter, and ended up with someone like this."
