In the blink of an eye, an afternoon had passed, and Sha Zhu and Li Xiuxiu had already returned to the courtyard house.
Since He Daqing and his son had already bought some things before, the two of them didn't buy much; they were simply going out to cultivate their relationship.
After an afternoon of getting to know each other, the two became much closer. Sha Zhu even held hands and secretly kissed each other twice when no one was around.
"Zhu Zi, after everyone gets off work, go and invite them over. Besides your Uncle Sun and his wife, invite Liu Haizhong over too!"
As soon as the two returned home, He Daqing, who was busy in the kitchen, came out and made arrangements.
"Dad, we're not having a banquet, why would we invite Uncle Er?"
"Silly boy, Liu Haizhong is the manager of this courtyard. Even if you don't need him, don't offend him. It's just a matter of adding a pair of chopsticks."
He Daqing didn't scold his son this time. After all, he has a wife now, and he should give his daughter-in-law some face.
Who knew that after hearing this, Sha Zhu suddenly had another idea.
"Dad, since you put it that way, should we invite Sun Zhengguo as well? After all, he's the highest-ranking official in our institute."
"Oh my! You really are a silly boy."
He Daqing was a little angry. His son really did come up with all sorts of ideas on a whim. He then explained.
"What kind of person is Zheng Guo? Would he care about your meal?"
Remember this: if you're not from the same social class, don't try to climb up to them.
"Just make sure you treat your Uncle Sun and his wife well, and that they can even talk to you."
"Okay, okay! I'll do whatever you say."
Sha Zhu didn't argue with his father. After he finished speaking, he took his new wife and went to decorate the room.
As for cooking dinner, He Daqing took on all the responsibilities.
As evening fell, the workers in the yard began to leave work one after another. When they heard the news that Sha Zhu was getting married today, they all showed an incredulous expression.
They never imagined that a bad guy like Sha Zhu would actually get married one day.
However, these neighbors were shocked but had no other thoughts, except for Xu Damao.
Xu Damao had just returned home tonight when he heard this unfortunate news.
His first reaction was that it was fake; it must be a rumor.
But when he walked into the Intermediate People's Court and saw the big red double happiness symbol pasted on the door of the He family, he finally accepted this indisputable fact.
He didn't linger and quickly pushed the cart home.
"Jingru, Jingru, come out for a moment."
As soon as he arrived at his doorstep, before he had even parked the car properly, Xu Damao shouted twice.
Hearing the shouts, Qin Jingru quickly came out of the house.
"Brother Da Mao, are you hungry? Let's eat right away."
"Jingru, tell me, what's going on with that silly Zhu? How come he suddenly got married without any prior warning?"
Judging from Xu Damao's tone, Qin Jingru knew they were mortal enemies, but there was nothing she could do.
"Brother Da Mao, I don't know the specifics. I heard from people in the compound that an older woman acted as matchmaker, and they already got their marriage certificate this morning."
Well! After hearing his wife's explanation, Xu Damao felt a chill in his heart.
He originally wanted to report him, just to get back at him, no matter what.
But as soon as he heard that they had gotten their marriage certificate and that the matchmaker was Lin Wencui, he immediately gave up the idea.
Simply reporting Sha Zhu might not be successful, but if it offends Lin Wencui, it would be a losing proposition.
After thinking it over and over, Xu Damao still couldn't come up with a good solution, so he could only go back inside and think about it later.
Just then, Sha Zhu led Li Xiuxiu into the backyard to distribute wedding candy to the neighbors.
They first went to the Liu family's house. After introductions and exchanging greetings and candy, Sha Zhu explained his purpose.
"Uncle, I'm getting married today. I didn't plan to have a banquet, but as the leader of our institute, I'd definitely like to invite you for a drink. I wonder if you could do me the honor?"
Well! Sha Zhu had figured out Liu Haizhong's personality perfectly, and after a round of flattery, he was so happy he couldn't stop smiling.
But to put on a show and maintain his composure, Liu Haizhong still asked.
"Zhu Zi, who did you invite?"
"Second Uncle, besides you, there's the matchmaker and her husband in this courtyard, plus my master, and the rest are all our family members."
"Oh!" Upon hearing the list of invitees, Liu Haizhong instantly felt incredibly proud.
"Alright, alright! Zhu Zi, Second Uncle will definitely go."
"Alright! Thank you so much, Uncle. I still need to give out candy to my neighbors. See you later."
After arguing with Liu Haizhong, Sha Zhu and his wife visited several other families before finally arriving at Xu Damao's house.
As the two families with the worst relationship in this courtyard, and having been ridiculed by Xu Damao countless times, how could Sha Zhu not pay a visit today when he finally got the chance!
Therefore, as soon as he entered the door, Sha Zhu showed a smug look and said something.
"Xu Damao, let me introduce you. This is my wife, Li Xiuxiu. Isn't she beautiful?"
Upon hearing what Sha Zhu said, Xu Damao, who was drinking alone, actually put down his cup and looked Li Xiuxiu up and down.
To be honest, although Li Xiuxiu is not as pretty as Qin Jingru, she is the daughter of a landlord and has never suffered since childhood. In terms of temperament, she is far superior.
Based on this alone, Qin Jingru is completely defeated.
Sha Zhu was quite displeased to see that Xu Damao was actually watching.
"Hey hey hey! What are you looking at? This is your sister-in-law. We're getting married today, so we've come to offer you some candy and say a few words of blessing!"
Well! Just that one sentence made Xu Damao so angry he was practically fuming. No wonder he couldn't say anything nice! He immediately retorted.
"I wish you well, you idiot! Why should I wish you well on your wedding? Tell me why! I don't want this candy, take it and get lost!"
"Silly Mao, today is my big day. I kindly brought you candy, but you're taking advantage of my kindness. Don't blame me for being impolite."
Sha Zhu was equally adamant, and seeing that the two were about to fight, the two young wives beside him certainly wouldn't allow it.
Li Xiuxiu grabbed Shazhu and advised, "Forget it, Zhuzi. Since they don't appreciate it, let's go! Today is our big day, fighting is bad luck."
Qin Jingru also stood in front of Xu Damao, glaring angrily at Sha Zhu, fearing that he might suddenly attack and hurt someone.
“Jingru, step aside. I’ll let him hit me. If he dares to lay a hand on me today, I’ll report him to the police or I’m not a Xu.”
Xu Damao was also very tough at this moment. Knowing that he couldn't win, he brought up the police to scare Sha Zhu.
Sha Zhu wasn't stupid; he knew that taking action would be pointless, but he wouldn't be satisfied without provoking Xu Damao.
After much thought, he actually came up with a wicked idea.
So he first gave his wife a reassuring look, signaling her not to stop him, before he spoke.
"Silly Mao, I'm not going to fight you. I'm a married man now. How about we change the game and see who can have a baby first?"
"Go to hell, you idiot Zhu, you've gone too far, I'll fight you to the death."
This really hit Xu Damao where it hurt. Are you serious about comparing having children with me, an infertile person?
Even though Xu Damao knew he couldn't win, he still drew his sword, and, as angry as a lion, was about to charge forward.
But Sha Zhu wouldn't give him a chance. After saying that, he pulled his wife out of the Xu family's gate.
Only Xu Damao was left barking helplessly inside the house.
