Chapter 55: Xu Damao Causes Trouble Again

Xu Damao came all the way to Wang Meipo's home.

Wang Meipo already knew He Yuzhu's blind date had failed this time, and she was sighing.

Seeing Xu Damao, she flared up in anger and cursed.

Xu Damao, you still dare to come? You bastard, you're ruining people's marriages—you're asking for heavenly punishment and five thunderbolts.

Xu Damao, just wait—I'll see if you can even get a wife.

Xu Damao quickly put on an apologetic smile.

Aunt Wang, Aunt Wang, I'm really not the one causing trouble.

It's because Sha Zhu's reputation is too bad.

I'm not here to make amends and ease your worries.

Wang Meipo gave him a sideways glance, ignored him, and sat there by herself, with no intention of greeting him.

What trouble can you solve for me? Not causing me trouble would be enough—hurry up, you jerk.

Xu Damao grinned sheepishly, pulled out five dollars from his pocket, and stuffed it into Wang Meipo's hand.

That won't do; you keep trying to give Sha Zhu a different one—wouldn't that work?

Wang Meipo pinched the money in her hand, hesitated, then accepted it as compensation for her trouble; with the money, she found Xu Damao much more pleasing.

Where would it be that easy? He Yuzhu has high demands—he wants a college graduate, beautiful, urban hukou, no baggage—who would look at him? Where am I supposed to find someone like that for him?

I finally found one, and you messed it up.

Making money is easy!

Hearing Sha Zhu's demands, Xu Damao himself was startled.

Sha Zhu, he really dares to ask for that—how does he not ascend to heaven? A sickly toad yawns, his arrogance is huge.

Wang Meipo felt the same; this stupid pig really has an inflated self-image.

Indeed, if he weren't a cook, I'd have beaten him away with a stick.

As they chatted, their relationship eased considerably, and Xu Damao began to offer suggestions to Wang Meipo.

Aunt Wang, if we relax the education requirement a bit, wouldn't it be easier to find someone?

Wang Meipo shook her head.

Now Sha Zhu's reputation is spreading quickly; we should wait a while.

Xu Damao hurriedly stopped her.

Don't, I know exactly what kind of person Sha Zhu is.

This guy is just a wife-chaser, but he has lust without courage.

As long as the person is beautiful, everything else can be relaxed—don't believe me? Try it.

Wang Meipo said uncertainly.

Are you sure?

Xu Damao nodded, then took out another five dollars.

Aunt Wang, you look for someone beautiful, educated, with urban hukou—even if their reputation isn't great, their temper isn't good, and they have a lot of family baggage, it doesn't matter.

Saying that, he gave Wang Meipo a glance.

Seeing the five dollars again, Wang Meipo pretended to refuse.

That won't do—I'm not that kind of person.

Xu Damao stuffed the money into her hand, putting on a righteous tone.

For my childhood friend, Aunt Wang, you've gone through trouble.

Wang Meipo understood Xu Damao's meaning—this was to have her find a spendthrift wife for Sha Zhu.

This is just a bastard—his money, if you don't take it you lose out, and if you do take it you still lose out.

However, Sha Zhu really is overestimating himself, his demands are too high, he keeps giving her problems, and he doesn't know his limits.

So this failure is just right to give him a setback and lower his expectations.

She doesn't dare introduce anyone with a bad reputation, for fear of being gossiped about.

But there really is someone who has a lot of family baggage, a bad temper, is educated, and is beautiful.

Sha Zhu, I didn't harm you by following Xu Damao's demands—you ought to be grateful for an old woman's kindness.

Xu Damao finished his business and happily left Wang Meipo's home.

Not long after, Wang Meipo also left.

Siheyuan, He Family.

The He Family's Sha Zhu lay dazed on the bed; the recent events have dealt him too heavy a blow.

His worldview is about to collapse.

He never expected that the two families he thought were on good terms would actually harm him behind his back.

He Yushui offered a few words of comfort, seeing he didn't react, she stopped bothering and even breathed a sigh of relief.

Her words proved true, showing she hadn't been gossiping and needn't fear being seen by He Yuzhu as a troublemaker.

As for this older brother, she had done her best.

Zhuzi……

Yi Zhonghai arrived.

Seeing Sha Zhu lying on the bed, he began to scold.

You're a grown man—is it just because you lost a lover? What's the fuss?

Hurry up and get up—the toilet construction has started, go keep an eye on it.

He Yuzhu held in his anger; hearing this, he not only ignored Yi Zhonghai but pulled the blanket over his head.

He Yushui saw that Yi Zhonghai was about to get angry, and she spoke up in defense of her older brother.

"Elder Sir, my older brother is feeling really upset; let Brother Dong Xu take care of the toilet matter."

Yi Zhonghai saw He Yuzhu's expression and realized he couldn't command him anymore.

He could only leave.

Lei Shifu's work doesn't need anyone watching; it's just an excuse he uses to train He Yuzhu.

Training Sha Zhu to obey habitually.

This is an advanced method that requires years of training to succeed.

Once a person's habit is formed, it's hard to change.

Just like Sha Zhu, after becoming accustomed to Qin Huairu, even the act of bringing about his own family's ruin, he still enjoys it.

(So I advise everyone, if you have bad habits, change them quickly.)

Meanwhile, Chen Hong came back again and gathered with Yang Qing to discuss matters.

"The old lady told me about the household transfer matter, but they said it can't be done."

"However, the old lady's household can arrange for someone to work."

"The old lady's household now only has her, so this work quota is useless."

"So she wants me to acknowledge her as my grandmother, so we can use this quota."

"What do you think?"

Yang Qing said happily.

"There's still such a good thing?"

Chen Hong nodded.

"With her status, others might not be able to, but she can."

Yang Qing later, not knowing what he had thought, felt a little unsure, and forced himself to nod.

"Then let's acknowledge it."

"This way, our dual-city household registration will not only have enough food to eat, but also have surplus."

"This also makes it convenient for you to bring over our mother and younger brother."

Chen Hong saw his evasive gaze, knew what he was worried about, and joked.

"Aren't you afraid that once I find my footing, I'll divorce you?"

Yang Qing gave a bitter smile.

"Then I can only accept it."

Chen Hong leaned close to him and whispered.

"I don't plan to go back these two days."

Yang Qing asked strangely.

"Why not go?"

Chen Hong blushed, laughed a little, and said.

"The bridal chamber!"

Yang Qing was instantly filled with happiness.

Really, having found a good daughter-in-law, he didn't even need to say it; he just knew what he was worried about.

This is just to put his own heart at ease.

To be honest, looking at the house Yang Qing had tidied up, Chen Hong really didn't want to leave.

This man's heart hides brocade.

Three small courtyards, forming a unified whole, full of a high-end feel.

Living here naturally brings a kind of happiness.

Yang Qing looked at the face so close, and couldn't help but kiss it.

Chen Hong also responded passionately.

The house was full of continuous springtime.

If it weren't daytime, if it weren't for someone working nearby.

Yang Qing wished he could go into battle early and fight fiercely.

Outside, there were only the voices of workers discussing construction.

Plus, there was Liang Jin Bao's angry arguing.

The couple had no intention of going out to look.

They just lay there, entwined.
