Chapter 136: Frustrated Sha Zhu, Proud Xu Damao
A few days later in the evening, Sha Zhu returned to the yard in a daze.
He just got off work today and went home. When he walked to the entrance of the alley, he suddenly saw Wei Shufen. Sha Zhu was immediately shocked and secretly wondered in his heart: Has Wei Shufen forgiven me?
Thinking of this, Sha Zhu's steps became lighter, and his heart was filled with anticipation and anxiety. As he walked to the entrance of the alley, Wei Shufen's figure became clearer and clearer, and the familiar face and warm smile made his heart warm.
At that moment, Sha Zhu seemed to hear his own heartbeat, as if the whole world had become quiet.
However, when Sha Zhu approached Wei Shufen, the smile on his face froze instantly.
Wei Shufen came here sadly, just to convey a message. She begged Sha Zhu not to try to find Sister Gan to help mediate, so that their relationship would come to an end.
There was no possibility between her and Sha Zhu. Sha Zhu listened in astonishment, with mixed feelings in his heart, and could only accept this cruel fact silently.
In addition, Wei Shufen revealed something even more heartbreaking: She told Shazhu that her family had introduced her to a guy, and after meeting him, she thought he was pretty good and wanted to date him.
After saying that, he left without looking back.
When Sha Zhu heard this, he felt like he was struck by lightning, as if his entire inner world collapsed in an instant. He felt a huge sense of loss and helplessness.
However, this matter was actually seen by the talkative Second Aunt, who liked to spread news everywhere.
So, that night the news that Sha Zhu was dumped by the girl spread throughout the compound as quickly as the wind, and every corner was filled with discussions and speculations.
Originally, the neighbors who had unmarried young people in their families were full of envy and jealousy towards Sha Zhu because he found such an excellent partner and stood out in the compound.
But today, attitudes have changed dramatically, with most people treating him with cynicism and few sympathizing with him.
"It's his due! If he keeps showing off..."
"If you ask me, he is destined to be single. What a pity! It would be great if such a good girl could be introduced to my boy!"
"Hey! Why did he just say so and split up when things were going well?"
"Hey! How should I know? Maybe this idiot has done something to offend others..."
"Can't you?"
"Why not? Didn't you see that when he saw the young wife of the Jia family, he couldn't move his feet either?"
"Hahaha... He is just like his father..."
backyard.
Xu Damao was so excited that he danced with joy when he heard the news. He was jealous of Sha Zhu for finding a beautiful partner, and was secretly thinking about how to sabotage Sha Zhu's marriage.
Later, considering the feelings of Liu Zhiye and his wife, he never took any substantive action.
But the heavens have eyes, this idiot Zhu is useless. He hasn't done anything yet, but idiot Zhu himself messed up everything, how can he not be happy and excited.
"No, I have to go and see that idiot Shazhu..."
Xu Damao came to Sha Zhu's house like a weasel.
After he opened the door, he found that the room was dark, with only the pale moonlight outside the window shining through the window lattice and sprinkling on the cold kang.
Sha Zhu just lay there motionless, like a soul-lost sculpture, immersed in his own gloomy thoughts.
"Silly Zhu! Brother is here to see you."
"Hey! Brother, what's going on?"
"I heard that you were dumped by a girl?"
"Hehe! If you ask me, don't be sad. You don't have that fate..."
Sha Zhu finally reacted after hearing this. Xu Damao, this shameless guy, actually came to make fun of him at this moment.
"Xu Damao, are you bored?"
"Get out of the way. I'm telling you, do you believe I'll beat you up?"
Xu Damao was not to be outdone and fought back, "Silly Zhu! I came here with good intentions to comfort you, and it's fine if you don't appreciate it. But why are you still saying hurtful words?"
Sha Zhu sat up suddenly and said to Xu Damao, "Bah!" "Don't run if you have the guts, or I will kill you today."
Xu Damao realized that Sha Zhu seemed to be going to attack him. After he had ridiculed Sha Zhu, he was definitely not going to sit there and wait for death. Therefore, he turned around quickly and ran away as fast as the wind.
Only Sha Zhu was left standing there angrily, cursing loudly: "Xu Damao! You wait for me, don't fall into my hands..."
He Yushui was concentrating on completing her homework in her room. Suddenly, she heard her brother roaring in anger in the other room. She immediately put down her pen, walked out of the room, and wanted to see what was going on with her brother.
She pushed the door open and stepped into the house, only to see darkness in front of her. Frowning, she felt helpless and could only grope in the darkness to find the switch, and finally successfully turned on the light.
He Yushui looked at her brother, and seeing how depressed and out of control he was, she couldn't help but feel a little resentful. She was a good sister-in-law, but because of Sha Zhu's nonsense, they had to break up.
"Brother! Don't be sad, or I will go to sister-in-law Shufen tomorrow to speak up for you. Sister-in-law likes me the most, let me persuade her..."
Sha Zhu smiled bitterly and glanced at his sister. She obviously didn't understand the seriousness of the situation and thought they were just having an ordinary quarrel and a little temper.
"Yushui, don't bother me. I have completely broken up with your sister-in-law Shufen." Shazhu responded with a wry smile.
He truly fell in love with Wei Shufen and was determined to get married. Unfortunately, fate did not seem to be on his side.
When He Yushui heard the news, he couldn't help but tremble in his heart, and hurriedly asked: "Brother, what happened? Tell me quickly."
Sha Zhu forced a smile, wiped his cheeks, and tried his best to hide his inner loneliness. He said to Yu Shui in a relaxed manner: "Hey, let's not talk about the unhappy things, it's all in the past." He tried to make his voice sound cheerful: "Are you hungry? I'll make you a delicious meal..."
"..."

As the weekend dawned, Yan Bugui, with his endless passion for fishing, carrying a bucket full of hope and a trusted fishing rod, set out on his journey to the shores of Beihai Lake.
Although he only caught insignificant small fish and shrimps during each fishing trip, it did not diminish his love for this activity at all.
In his eyes, even mosquito legs can be squeezed to produce meat, and small fish and shrimps are also delicious delicacies.
When Liu Zhiye came back from a walk, he happened to meet the third uncle Yan Bugui who was about to go out.
"Hey! Uncle, have you eaten yet?"
Yan Bugui smiled and nodded slightly, responding: "Hehe! Three mouthfuls of steamed bread barely fill my stomach. If I don't go to work, it doesn't hurt to eat a little less." As he spoke, he raised three fingers and gestured.
Liu Zhiye couldn't help but laugh at Yan Bugui's cleverness, but in comparison, their family's situation seemed pretty good. According to the context of the original play, they were probably starving at this moment due to lack of food.
"Are you going fishing again?" He pointed at the fishing gear in Yan Bugui's hand and said with a hint of sarcasm.
Yan Bugui nodded and said quickly, "I'll go and claim my place now. No more idle chat. See you later!" Then he left in a hurry.
Liu Zhiye watched him go away, raised his lips, and shook his head slightly. Then, just as he was about to turn back to the yard, he caught a glimpse of Xu Damao.
Xu Damao was seen dressed in a brand new work uniform with a slick face and was pushing a Fei Ge bicycle that was polished to a shine as new. He came out of the yard in high spirits.
Xu Damao opened his mouth from a distance and greeted Liu Zhiye, saying, "Director Liu! Are you taking a break today too?"
Liu Zhiye nodded and looked at Xu Damao, who was dressed like a groom. He asked curiously, "Brother Damao! What are you going to do?"
Xu Damao smoothed his hair and said proudly, "Hey, my mom asked someone to introduce me to a date a few days ago. I'm going on a blind date today."
Liu Zhiye smiled and nodded, saying a few words of encouragement: "That's fine! Go quickly! I wish you a successful start!"
Xu Damao was full of confidence and said with a bit of excitement in his tone: "Just wait and see, let's go, I'll see you later!"
Watching Xu Damao riding away quickly on his bicycle, Liu Zhiye wondered in his heart: "Could it be that Xu Damao's blind date is Lou Xiao'e?"
Come to think of it, when the original play started in 65, Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e had been married for many years. They had no children, so Sha Zhu laughed at them as hens that couldn't lay eggs.
really.
A few days later, Xu Damao proudly led a girl who was dressed in a fashionable and stylish way and had a round face and was quite attractive into the courtyard.
