Chapter 302

Nanluoguxiang, Courtyard 95.

Returning from the neighborhood office, Yi Zhonghai, who had aged significantly, was now incomparably silent.

Looking at Yan Bugui before the door, Yi Zhonghai nodded honestly and walked into the courtyard.

Looking at the current Yi Zhonghai, Yan Bugui felt a sense of melancholy in his heart.

Because once upon a time, how spirited the three masters had been!

But now, Yi Zhonghai was completely finished, and Liu Haizhong was sticking out his big belly, wanting to run things his own way and refusing to communicate with him at all.

But just as Yan Bugui was thinking, the sound of a bicycle rang out outside the gate.

Just as Yan Bugui saw clearly who it was, he immediately ran back inside.

Because the person who arrived was none other than Zhang Cheng!

"Hey, Yan Bugui, don't go, let's chat for a bit!"

Watching Yan Bugui turn and leave, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but call out.

But faced with Zhang Cheng's shouting, Yan Bugui walked away without looking back, as if there was nothing in this world worth his time.

Looking at Yan Bugui's back, Zhang Cheng felt a sense of melancholy and said, "No, why is that old guy so unreasonable?"

Seeing the things in his hands, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but complain; he had originally intended to have Yan Bugui help him move them!

But who would have thought that Yan Bugui wouldn't show any neighborly courtesy at all.

Returning to the courtyard, Zhang Cheng saw every household avoiding him and couldn't help but have a dark expression.

Because why did he feel like he had suddenly become the "villain"!

But just then, Xu Damao ran in happily from outside and said, "Xiao Zhang, Xiao Zhang, I have good news to tell you, I'm getting married!"

"What the hell? You're getting married?"

Looking at Xu Damao beside him, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but be surprised.

Because Xu Damao getting married meant he could stir up trouble!

But Zhang Cheng thought about it, this seemed like a good opportunity to stir things up, because if He Yuzhu knew Xu Damao was getting married, wouldn't the two of them be back to loving and killing each other?

Revealing a brilliant smile, Zhang Cheng quickly turned his head and said, "When is this happening, Brother Damao!"

"Hey, my mom has already gone to ask for me, but it's nine-tenths certain! Hehehe!"

Looking happily at Zhang Cheng, Xu Damao patted his shoulder and said, "When I get married, remember to be my best man!"

"Done, Brother Damao, no problem at all!"

Hearing Xu Damao's words, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but smile.

Because Xu Damao and Lou Xiaoe were never meant to be together!

Don't ask why, just know there's a schemer in the courtyard!

Logically speaking, the person most suitable for Xu Damao was Qin Jingru.

Because Qin Jingru was the traditional kind of good wife—if the man burned the house, she'd hand him the fire; if the man dug a pit, she'd push people in.

So Qin Jingru and Xu Damao were a perfect match!

"Brother Damao, keep your voice down. What if Shazhu hears you? Wouldn't you be in trouble again?"

Warning Xu Damao, Zhang Cheng began to set an ambush in advance.

Suddenly hearing this, Xu Damao looked around in a panic, but after not finding Shazhu, he immediately felt relieved and said, "Don't worry, that fool can't possibly know!"

"That's good, Brother Damao!"

Looking at Xu Damao with a smile, Zhang Cheng chuckled.

And just after Xu Damao left, Zhang Cheng's eyes began to flicker.

Lou Bancheng's son-in-law—fifteen years ago, this would have been a figure who could summon wind and rain.

But it's a pity, the current Lou family is no longer what it used to be.

Although Lou Bancheng has money, most of his assets have gradually become public-private partnerships.

The moment the shares are fully converted, Lou Bancheng should realize that he is no longer suited to stay here!

He had no particular fondness for Lou Bancheng, nor any particular malice.

After all, the man had done many things, such as donating assets to help our army. Otherwise, think about it: how could a "Lou Bancheng" who wasn't one of our own avoid being liquidated?

You have to know, the people of the Far East love keeping black ledgers and making lists! Gongyang once said, a ten-generation grudge can still be avenged!

That is to say, as long as you offend me, no matter how much time passes, I will definitely get you!

Otherwise, why would Confucius pass down the "Analects" to his disciples? That was the "rule" he wrote back in the Spring and Autumn period!

Think about it: a two-meter-tall strong man, with an axe that splits "benevolence" in two tucked at his waist, holding a sword as tall as a person called "virtue," with three thousand "dragon-and-tiger-tattooed" disciples behind him—who would dare not listen to him speak!

Confucius: Was I really like that back then?

Red Star Rolling Mill, Third Canteen.

When He Yuzhu was busy setting things up, Zhang Cheng beckoned and said, "Zhuzi, come here!"

"What's up!"

Rubbing his hands, He Yuzhu looked at Zhang Cheng with confusion.

If he had been dissatisfied before just because Zhang Cheng didn't respect the elderly and bullied Sister Qin, now he was actually convinced by Zhang Cheng.

After all, if it weren't for Zhang Cheng, he would probably still be like a fool, being deceived by Yi Zhonghai!

"Let me tell you, Xu Damao is getting married, did you know?"

Raising his eyebrows, Zhang Cheng looked at He Yuzhu with a mischievous smile.

"What? He's getting married? That bad seed can actually find a wife!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng in disbelief, He Yuzhu's first reaction was shock.

And just then, Zhang Cheng continued, "Do you know who Xu Damao's wife is? You'd never guess—it's the daughter of Lou Bancheng, a shareholder in our rolling mill!"

"Lou Xiaoe?"

Hearing Zhang Cheng's words, He Yuzhu quickly asked.

!. Read

"You know her?"

Looking at He Yuzhu in surprise, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but be confused.

"How could I not know? My dad was a cook at the rolling mill back then, and I used to go help out!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng, He Yuzhu quickly explained.

And just then, Zhang Cheng leaned into He Yuzhu's ear and said, "Let me tell you, Xu Damao's body isn't right. Something's wrong with his lower half; he'll never be able to have children in his life..."

"What? Really or fake!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng in disbelief, He Yuzhu froze in place.

"Of course it's true! Think about it, if you help Lou Xiaoe, don't you think she'd be grateful and then marry you!"

Looking at He Yuzhu before him, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but smile.

And after hearing Zhang Cheng's words, He Yuzhu immediately said, "Um, I'm taking leave, I'm going out for a bit!"

Watching He Yuzhu leave in a rush, Nan Yi stood by and said, "Is it really okay to lie to him like that?"

"What's wrong with it? It's not like we're busy anyway!"

Shrugging his shoulders, Zhang Cheng laughed.

Because Xu Damao being unable to have children was mostly due to him suffering He Yuzhu's "leg-breaking" kick when he was a child; it couldn't possibly be congenital, otherwise how could he have been born?

Don't ask Zhang Cheng how he knows; just know that Xu Fugui and Xu Damao are too much alike!

As for whether Lou Xiaoe would offer herself to him, that's another matter.

Anyway, Zhang Cheng thought it was unlikely, because He Yuzhu was too ugly; taking him out would be like a father taking his daughter out.

He Yuzhu: Damn it...

"The courtyard is going to be lively again!"

Covering his face, Nan Yi couldn't help but look at Zhang Cheng.

Because he felt that Zhang Cheng never had a peaceful day in the courtyard—he was either stirring up trouble or looking for it!

And if Zhang Cheng knew Nan Yi's thoughts, he would surely say that the meaning of life lies in tossing and turning!

It's either him tossing others, or others coming to toss him. So why shouldn't it be Zhang Cheng tossing others? Could it be that he's a "good person"?
