Intermediate People's Court.
Looking at Xu Damao's lewd appearance.
Lin Yang couldn't help but feel curious, as he and Xu Damao didn't seem to have any interaction.
Why would he come looking for me and even treat me to a meal?
Out of curiosity, he agreed.
Anyway, the food in the system space will look exactly the same as when it was just put in, no matter how long it's been stored.
Besides, eating alone would be boring, and going to the Xu family's house would allow me to chat with Lou Xiao'e.
As Xu Damao and I walked into the backyard, a commotion suddenly broke out at my second uncle's house.
"Get out of here! I don't have a son like you!"
The next moment, the Liu family's gate suddenly opened.
Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu ran out in a panic.
Immediately afterwards, a stick was thrown out of the Liu family's house along with the two of them.
"Brother Yang, hehe..."
When Liu Guangtian passed by Lin Yang, he even had the time to greet him.
He was already used to his father's style of resorting to violence at the slightest disagreement.
Liu Guangfu was a little slow and was hit by the stick thrown by Liu Haizhong.
However, he seemed oblivious, smiled and greeted Lin Yang, and then hurried toward his brother.
Seeing the scene that often occurred in the backyard, Xu Damao said with a smile, "Yangzi, Liu Haizhong is really ruthless. He beats his two sons to death, except for his eldest son."
As he spoke, he winked at Lin Yang in a lewd manner and said, "I wonder if this old man has been cuckolded, otherwise why is he only beating up Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu!"
"You should watch your mouth," Lin Yang said speechlessly. "If your second uncle hears you, with his temper, you'll be lucky if he doesn't beat you to a pulp."
However, Xu Damao shrugged dismissively: "It's only natural for Liu Haizhong to beat his son. If he were to beat me, would he still want to be the steward? With Second Uncle's ambition for officialdom, he wouldn't budge even if it were for the sake of the steward's position."
It has to be said that Xu Damao was right.
Compared to his official position, Liu Haizhong's temper was really nothing.
As they were talking, the two arrived at Xu Damao's house.
As soon as I entered, I saw Lou Xiao'e holding a bottle of Moutai in her small hands and pouring the liquor.
Lin Yang glanced at the table and found that the food on it was quite plentiful.
A large bowl of braised pork belly, a pot of chicken stew with mushrooms, stir-fried cabbage, a plate of sliced pork jelly, and a plate of fried peanuts.
There's also a bottle of Moutai.
Lin Yang was slightly taken aback when he saw the sumptuous meal.
It's not that I'm surprised Xu Damao could put together such a feast.
After all, Lou Xiao'e's father was known as Lou the Half-City, and even a small leak of his wealth would be enough to feed Xu Damao.
Lou Xiao'e also saw Lin Yang's figure. She stopped what she was doing, shook the Moutai in her hand, and said with a smile:
"Yangzi, you're here. Damao suddenly said this morning that he wanted to treat you to dinner. I thought I didn't have any good food or wine at home, so I went to my dad's house to get some."
"I heard this Moutai is ten years old. I don't know if you like to drink it."
Hearing Lou Xiao'e's words, Xu Damao said with a hint of jealousy, "Xiao'e, I said before that I wanted to drink, but you couldn't even go to your dad's house to get this for me to drink."
“That’s not the same.” Lou Xiao’e frowned her pretty brows and said, “Every time I bring you good wine from my dad’s house, you invite your parents over for dinner and drinks. Then when you and your dad get drunk, you point your fingers at me and call me a goose that doesn’t lay eggs!”
She snorted and said, "With you and your father like this, do you think I'm stupid or insane? Why would I get you wine? That would just be asking for trouble."
Xu Damao didn't expect Lou Xiao'e to say these things in front of Lin Yang, but it was also wrong of him and his father to do so.
He could only force a smile and say, "E'zi, those were just drunken words, don't take them seriously."
"Drunken talk." Lou Xiao'e rolled her eyes at him and said, "I think this is the truth. Even if your father were sober, he would say the same thing."
"E'er, my dear E'er, I apologize to you." Xu Damao was shameless, and didn't care about Lou Xiao'e's glare. He quickly cupped his hands and said, "Yangzi is here now, let's eat first."
"It was you who brought it up!" Lou Xiao'e had the temper of a spoiled young lady; she was quick to anger and quick to forgive. Seeing Xu Damao begging for forgiveness, she stopped talking.
Then, smiling, he looked at Lin Yang and said, "Yangzi, I'm sorry to have made you laugh."
Lin Yang smiled and waved his hand, saying, "It's nothing."
However, he looked at Xu Damao with a meaningful tone and said, "Xu Damao, with technology so advanced now, whether or not a woman can have a child can't be entirely blamed. The man might also have problems. Haven't you checked?"
"What does this have to do with men?" Xu Damao waved his hand dismissively and said, "Yangzi, let's not talk about this anymore, let's eat."
Lou Xiao'e, on the other hand, seemed to have thought of something. She had always been ridiculed for not having children, being called a goose that didn't lay eggs, and she felt a little resentful.
Especially since she had already had a check-up and found nothing wrong with herself, the fact that she couldn't have a child must be Xu Damao's problem.
She had suggested that Xu Damao get checked before, but every time the topic came up, Xu Damao would get angry, which left her feeling helpless.
When they sat down to eat, Xu Damao didn't explain why he was invited to dinner.
After asking a few more questions, Xu Damao picked up his wine glass and said that he and Lin Yang lived in the same courtyard, so it was normal for him to invite him to dinner.
Lin Yang didn't press the matter further, since it was you who treated me to dinner anyway.
I'm happy to have some peace and quiet since you don't say anything.
