Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

Xu Damao ultimately failed to catch up with Xu Fugui.

He first rode his bicycle to take Zhang Yan to the hospital, and then returned from the hospital.

Before they could sit at home for long, they were rushed to inform Xu Fugui and his wife.

It's already a sign that he's in good physical condition that he didn't collapse from exhaustion.

And despite his age, Xu Fugui is a projectionist who still rides his bicycle to the countryside to show movies.

In a simple bicycle race, Xu Damao might not be as good as Xu Fugui.

Xu's mother didn't consider those things; she slapped Xu Damao's back until it was almost swollen.

When the two arrived at the courtyard house, Xu Fugui was outside bragging to someone.

Before Zhang Yan became pregnant, the people in the neighborhood laughed at the Xu family for many years.

He's definitely going to vent his anger this time.

From afar, Xu Fugui could be heard speaking loudly: "My daughter-in-law is a hero of our family. I'm telling you this: for my grandson, whatever she wants to eat, I'll buy it for her."

"What if it's a girl?"

"Don't be afraid, my daughter. Our Xu family's daughter is no worse than anyone else's."

Then everyone remembered that Xu's daughter was a college student, more promising than Xu Damao's son.

Before Xu Damao's bicycle had even come to a complete stop, his mother jumped off.

"Old Xu, what are you standing there for at the door? Go check on our daughter-in-law."

Xu Fugui immediately stopped bragging and pushed his bicycle toward the courtyard house.

Xu Damao wanted to follow, but Xu Fugui stopped him: "What are you doing coming in? Go tell your father-in-law."

Xu Damao said, "I'll just go in and get a drink of water."

Xu Fugui rolled his eyes at him: "Go drink at your father-in-law's house."

Everyone was particularly happy to see Xu Damao being scolded.

Xu Damao had no choice but to resign himself to his fate and ride his bicycle to his father-in-law's house.

As for Xu's mother, when she saw people, she couldn't let them ask her questions, so she loudly said that she had come to see her grandson.

Her voice filled the entire courtyard.

Hearing her mother's voice, Xu Xiaoling came out of He Yuzhu's house: "Mom, you're here. My sister-in-law is at Brother Zhu's house."

Xu's mother didn't have time to show off and jogged into the He family's house.

"Yanzi, you're a hero to our family. You must take care of yourself. Tell me what you want to eat, and your dad and I have brought all the good stuff and money from home."

"Xu Fugui, why are you still bragging in the yard? Hurry up and bring your things inside."

Nothing is more important than the Xu family's eldest grandson. When Xu's mother didn't see Xu Fugui, she assumed he was bragging in the yard and immediately shouted.

She has wronged Xu Fugui.

Xu Fugui was standing outside He Yuzhu's house. There were many people in He Yuzhu's family, and they were all women.

Unfortunately, He Yuzhu wasn't home at that time, so he felt too embarrassed to squeeze in.

"Stop shouting, I'm right at the door. I have everything with me."

Xu's mother ignored him and turned to call Xu Xiaoling to bring in the things she had brought.

Inside were not only the food the elderly couple had saved up, but also some things for the children.

It seems that Xu's mother had been preparing all along.

Xu Fugui's role ended there; he still couldn't get in.

Bored, he glanced at Yi Zhonghai's house and suddenly had an idea.

Yi Zhonghai had been targeting their family, and even Xu Damao's dismissal as deputy director was orchestrated by Yi Zhonghai.

This anger must be vented.

Xu Fugui walked to Yi Zhonghai's door and started chatting with the people in the courtyard.

He repeatedly emphasized that Xu Damao was not a childless man, telling the people in the courtyard to stop spreading rumors.

The people in the courtyard naturally stopped talking about Xu Damao.

However, the words "no descendants" infuriated Yi Zhonghai.

From time to time, the sound of something being smashed could be heard coming from Yi Zhonghai's home.

Xu Fugui, on the contrary, became even more smug.

With red eyes, Yi Zhonghai walked out of the house: "Xu Fugui, if you want to show off, go somewhere else. Don't do it in front of my house."

Xu Fugui said, "Old Yi, why are you such a spoilsport?" Yi Zhonghai said fiercely, "Xu Fugui, don't go too far. Your daughter-in-law is only pregnant; we don't even know if she can give birth."

Xu Fugui was startled and dared not provoke Yi Zhonghai any further. He wasn't afraid of Yi Zhonghai, but rather worried that Yi Zhonghai might harm Zhang Yan.

After seeing Xu Fugui leave, Yi Zhonghai looked at the other people with red eyes until he scared them away, and then went home.

Xu Fugui had nowhere to go, so he went to Li Dagen's house in the front yard.

Li Dagen handed him a cigarette and said, "Why did you go and provoke him?"

Xu Fugui lit a cigarette before saying, "I'm just angry that he's persecuting my son, Damao."

I regret it now, and I'm afraid he'll do something underhanded to my family.

Old Li, I need to ask you to stay in the yard and take care of my daughter-in-law.

Li Dagen said, "Even if you didn't say anything, I would have been more careful. However, my family hasn't been taking good care of us."

"Have your wife come visit more often."

Xu Fugui said, "Of course. We'll go back and discuss it, and let her live in the courtyard house from now on, so she can help Da Mao take care of the children."

He Yuzhu returned with the child and saw Xu Fugui.

"Uncle Xu, you're here."

Xu Fugui stood up: "Zhuzi is back. I have to thank you for my daughter-in-law's pregnancy. If it weren't for you watching over Damao, he probably wouldn't be able to make it."

He Yuzhu smiled and said, "This is all thanks to Xu Damao. By the way, where is Damao?"

"He went to his father-in-law's house."

He Yuzhu chatted with the Li family right at their doorstep. A little while later, Xu Damao arrived at the courtyard house with his father-in-law and his family.

Xu Fugui hurriedly went to greet him.

The Xu family returned to their own home and greeted their in-laws.

He Yuzhu chatted with Li Dagen for a while, then went home.

Lin Jinghan said, "Uncle Xu and Aunt Xu are overjoyed."

They were naturally overjoyed.

Throughout Sha Zhu's life, Xu Damao never had any children. Xu Fugui and his wife hadn't visited the courtyard house for several years.

In the end, if Xu Damao hadn't been so reckless as to mortgage his house, Xu Fugui and his wife would have had nowhere to live, and they probably wouldn't have ended up here.

He Yuzhu hadn't been sitting at home for long when Xu Damao came over.

"Brother Zhu, can you do me a favor?"

"what happened again?"

"My father-in-law's family is here, so I should at least treat them to a meal."

"You have many connections, help prepare some vegetables."

He Yuzhu did not agree. At this time, he also needed to keep a low profile.

If I go out at this time and come back with things, it will be hard to explain.

"Jinghan, are there any tickets left at home? Give them to Xu Damao and tell him to go outside and check."

Lin Jinghan then gave the ticket to Xu Damao.

Xu Damao had his own connections, and he quickly bought some things with the ticket.

"That's all. Brother Zhu, where did you buy them?"

He Yuzhu said, "I usually go to the leadership service center. You know, Meng Bo has his eye on me, so I don't dare to go there anymore."

Xu Damao said with dissatisfaction, "Damn Meng Bo, I won't let him get away with this."

He Yuzhu said, "Alright. Just behave yourself. He has powerful backers. Your little tricks might work on ordinary people, but they won't work on him."

Xu Damao knew this too, so he could only say, "I understand. Brother Zhu, I'll need your help to tidy up."

He Yuzhu didn't refuse; he put the child down and went to get busy.

"Go and remove the chicken feathers."

Xu Damao carried the He family's thermos to the sink. He Yuzhu then began preparing the other ingredients.

Yan Bugui naturally saw Xu Damao bring over the things and knew that the Xu family was going to host a dinner party.

He leaned closer and said, "Xu Damao, are you inviting your father-in-law? Do you want me to keep him company?"

Xu Damao spat, "No need." (End of Chapter)
