That evening, when He Yushui returned to her room, Sha Zhu excitedly approached He Daqing.
"Dad, how did things go today? Didn't you see that bastard Xu Damao? He was so cocky this morning. I wanted to slap him across the face."
"How many times have I told you? Taking action won't solve the problem. You need to use your brain. Why don't you listen?" He Daqing scolded him with a look of disappointment.
"Yes, yes, yes, we didn't actually do anything! But tell me, did you get things done today?"
"Did you get it done?" He Daqing took a drag of his cigarette and squinted as he said, "You don't believe me? Let me tell you, not only did I get it done, I also tricked that woman."
Next, He Daqing recounted his experience of going to the countryside, and at the end, he even boasted about it.
"To thank me, Party Secretary Wang not only treated me to a meal, but also personally drove me back in an oxcart. I should learn more from your father and stop fighting all the time."
However, Sha Zhu didn't pay attention to any of this; his attention was entirely focused on the girl named Wang Yujuan.
"Dad, if you say that Wang Yujuan is very beautiful, just how beautiful is she?"
"How beautiful? Let me put it this way! Even in our courtyard, it would rank among the best."
Upon hearing Laozi's description, Sha Zhu immediately expressed his regret.
“My dear father! Such a beautiful girl, why didn’t you snatch her away? Your son is still single! If I had married her, Xu Damao would have been a cuckold every day, and that son of a bitch would have been furious.”
He Daqing scoffed at this and glared at Sha Zhu.
"Hmph! Keep your little schemes to yourself. No matter how beautiful that girl is, she won't marry you."
"Why? What makes me inferior to Xu Damao? If he can do it, why can't I?"
Sha Zhu said defiantly.
He Daqing remained silent for a long time before slowly saying, "Our family background is too bad. His father is the village party secretary. Even if my family has meat to eat every day, he will not agree to this marriage."
"Ouch!"
After all that fuss, it was still his class background that was causing the problem. Sha Zhu sighed helplessly and didn't say anything.
...
The next morning, all the workers went to work, while Xu Damao stayed home alone. He spruced himself up, then pushed his car into the car, ready to get his marriage certificate.
"Hey! Da Mao, where are you going? Why aren't you at work?"
"Uncle, I won't lie to you, I'm going to get my marriage certificate today, and I'll treat you to candy when I get back."
Upon hearing that there was an opportunity to gain something, Yan Bugui immediately perked up and stood up.
"Da Mao, congratulations in advance! With so many family members in the family, you'll have to give us a few extra dollars."
"Of course, of course, Uncle. It's getting late, you go ahead with your work, I have other things to do, we'll talk later."
"Hey hey!"
After leaving the courtyard, Xu Damao got on his bicycle and headed towards Xiaowangzhuang.
Meanwhile, Wang, the Party Secretary of Xiaowangzhuang, summoned Wang, the militia company commander, early in the morning and told him about Xu Damao's attempt to commit marriage fraud.
Company Commander Wang is a veteran who participated in the war against the Bald Eagles. He hates evil and, given that he can't write two "Wang" characters in one stroke, he immediately expressed his opinion.
"Uncle, don't worry, I'm going to show this kid today how many eyes the Horse King has, that he dares to try and cheat our Xiaowang Village."
Seeing Company Commander Wang's statement, Party Secretary Wang nodded in satisfaction, and then gave further instructions.
"Remember, that kid's bicycle belongs to the government, so we can't touch it. As for the kid himself? Just don't kill him."
"clear."
Company Commander Wang said through gritted teeth.
Actually, even without Secretary Wang's instructions, Company Commander Wang would have taken good care of Xu Damao.
The reason was simple: Wang Yujuan was the object of his secret crush.
Their private decision sealed Xu Damao's fate; he was destined for a bad end.
Around 9 a.m., Xu Damao stepped into Xiaowangzhuang in a cheerful mood.
At that moment, he was unaware that he had been targeted by the militia the instant he stepped into the village.
Xu Damao arrived at Secretary Wang's house and, seeing that the door was not closed, went inside.
"Mom and Dad, I'm here to take Yujuan to get our marriage certificate."
Upon hearing Xu Damao's shout, the entire Wang family came out of the house, with Party Secretary Wang speaking with disdain.
"No, no, no, we don't deserve to be called Mom and Dad. My daughter isn't married yet, so don't talk nonsense."
"Hi! Mom and Dad, Yujuan and I are going to get our marriage certificate soon. Is it okay if we get used to it beforehand?"
Xu Damao was still unaware of the situation and continued talking with a grin.
"Pah! Who wants to get a marriage certificate with you? You're a liar, a complete bastard."
Wang Yujuan, who was standing next to her, couldn't help but yell back.
She may be a bit naive, but that doesn't mean she's stupid. Xu Damao almost ruined her life, so it's no wonder she has nothing good to say about him!
At this moment, Xu Damao also realized that something was wrong and quickly asked, "Uncle Wang, it's only been one day, why have you changed your mind? What did I do wrong? Tell me!"
"Tell me about it? Okay, let me ask you, are you infertile?"
Secretary Wang's words were like a bolt from the blue. Xu Damao was already sweating profusely. Who the hell did this? They've exposed all my secrets.
However, now was not the time to panic. Xu Damao had a sudden inspiration and forced an explanation.
"Uncle Wang, that's all in the past. After a period of treatment with traditional Chinese medicine, I'm fine now."
"Really? Should we go with you to the hospital for a check-up?"
Secretary Wang's renewed challenge left Xu Damao speechless, unable to utter a single question.
As for why? The reason is very simple.
Xu Damao had already checked many times without any results, otherwise he would have already been showing off his test results all over the world.
Seeing that Xu Damao remained silent, Secretary Wang no longer wanted to argue with him.
Because Xu Damao is not only infertile, but also has a bad reputation for showing movies in the countryside, he has already investigated some things when he returned to the village yesterday afternoon.
Seeing that things had completely gone wrong, Xu Damao also revealed his shameless side.
"Uncle Wang, since we've come to this point, we can break off the engagement, but I've spent a lot of money on your daughter recently, and you have to return it to me."
"Heh!" Party Secretary Wang sneered. "Since you're so ungrateful, then so be it!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than a group of militiamen carrying rifles ran in from the doorway and surrounded Xu Damao.
The militiamen came in without saying a word and immediately pointed their guns at Xu Damao.
"This...this...you're breaking the law, I'm going to sue you."
Although Xu Damao was scared, he still kept being cheeky.
The militiamen didn't tolerate him either; they greeted him with a rifle butt, leaving Xu Damao dizzy and his eyes bulging.
"Tie him up, we're going to hold this fraudster on a public trial."
Company Commander Wang of the militia was a ruthless man; he directly fabricated charges against Xu Damao.
