Upon hearing that he looked like a donkey, and especially since the words came from Sha Zhu's mouth, the group immediately understood who he was insulting.
Although the court was in chaos, Sha Zhu raised his voice at the end, making sure that Xu Damao, who had been paying close attention to the situation, heard him clearly.
Xu Damao's long face turned bright red. He had wanted to come over and say hello, and also listen to what everyone was talking about.
Seeing Wang Dabao shake hands with Yu Haitang, he immediately stopped thinking about it.
Originally, Yu Li wanted to introduce Yu Haitang to Wang Dabao, but he was just being overly enthusiastic.
On second thought, Da Bao's actions were rather unethical. Didn't he say he didn't want to go on blind dates and wanted freedom? How come he's holding hands with someone now?!
However, it seemed like they just got to know each other and shook hands.
Just then, he heard Sha Zhu loudly mocking his big donkey face and saying that he was an old cow eating young grass. How could Xu Damao tolerate this?
Yes, Xu Damao gritted his teeth and endured it.
There was no other reason than that Yu Haitang was there, and this good impression had to be left behind.
If he were to get into a fight with Sha Zhu at this point, it wouldn't be worth it. Why fight in front of Yu Haitang when there are no other options? Does he really think Xu Damao is stupid?
Wang Dabao shook his head helplessly, "Alright, Zhuzi, hurry up and take the sweet potatoes to Yushui and the others, they'll all be cold soon."
"Oh dear, I completely forgot about that."
Sha Zhu clicked his tongue and said, "Alright, you guys keep chatting, I'm heading back now."
"I'm telling you two, you need to look at things more carefully."
Before leaving, Sha Zhu, whether as a word of advice or a sarcastic remark, left a message for Yu Li and Yan Jiecheng.
"Alright, Jiecheng, you guys keep selling. I'm going to go with Tiangao to Qin Huairu's place for a stroll. I saw Lao Yan and Lao Liu inspecting the tea stall."
After saying the same thing, Wang Dabao left with Wang Tiangao.
As soon as Wang Dabao left, Yan Jiecheng nudged Yu Li with his elbow: "Hey, honey, I feel like your conversation was a bit fake. Can Uncle Dabao really work in the security department?"
Whether it's true or not, we'll find out in a while.
Yu Li threw the gloves aside in annoyance. "Besides, didn't you hear that Wang Tiangao's job was arranged by Wang Dabao?"
Yan Jiecheng scratched his head: "No, wife, didn't Uncle Dabao say that Wang Tiangao took over the job from his fourth uncle Wang Zhen? How come it's his arrangement for you?"
"I'm saying you're stupid, but you're just not sharp."
Yu Li truly regretted what she had done to deserve such a terrible thing as falling for Yan Jiecheng, such a blockhead. "Don't you even remember when Uncle Wang from our compound had his accident, or when Wang Tiangao started working at the factory?"
"And besides, does the security department look like a place where anyone can just fill in?!"
"That's true."
After Yu Li said that, Yan Jiecheng started to think.
Yu Haitang tried to speak several times, but couldn't get a word in.
Now that Yu Li and her husband had calmed down a bit, Yu Haitang quickly said, "Sister, I think Wang Dabao is a really good person."
"Nonsense, you don't need to look at that."
Yu Li gave a curt reply, then realized what she'd said and turned to look at her sister with amusement: "What's wrong, you little rascal, you've fallen for someone?!"
Yu Haitang nervously clutched the hem of her cotton-padded coat. Even though there was a lamp hanging at the Jia family's door late at night, it was still impossible to tell whether she was nodding or not.
"Hey, so what if he likes you? If I were a woman, I could have liked Uncle Da Bao too."
Yan Jiecheng cheered from the sidelines.
When He Yushui saw that Shazhu hadn't returned for a long time, she looked towards Yu Li's sweet potato stall. She saw a crowd gathered together, and especially when she saw Wang Dabao holding Yu Haitang's hand, her heart tightened for no reason, and her expression darkened.
Seeing this, the deaf old woman looked over in confusion, following He Yushui's gaze.
Although she is deaf, it doesn't affect her sharp eyesight.
"Rain, listen to your grandma, never fall for that boy Wang Dabao, or you'll be bullied all the time," the deaf old woman grumbled.
He Yushui's face immediately turned red: "Grandma, what are you saying? I just think Brother Dabao is a good person, I didn't mean anything else."
"Okay, as long as it doesn't mean anything else."
The deaf old woman leaned against a wooden pillar, her hands tucked into her sleeves. "When it comes to marriage, you have to find an honest and kind man. You can't marry someone like Wang Dabao or Xu Damao, or you'll regret it for the rest of your life."
He Yushui pouted: "How about finding someone like my brother?"
"Your brother? Your brother's great! These days, you don't see any cooks who're always hungry. At least he doesn't have to worry about food and drink. Besides, your brother's job is pretty good. If he works hard for a couple of years, he can become a kitchen foreman. Isn't that better than Xu Damao, that movie projectionist?!"
The deaf old woman looked disgusted when she mentioned Xu Damao.
“You said my brother is good, but have you seen anyone introduce him to someone? He’s still single!” He Yushui directly interrupted the deaf old lady.
The two started arguing back and forth.
Of course, their bickering was just playful banter. The old deaf woman was only pretending to be angry, after all, He Yushui was Shazhu's younger sister, and she liked both of the children.
"Hey, I have to say you two are much more lively. The movie hasn't even started yet, and all I've heard is you two bickering." With that, Sha Zhu unfolded the newspaper, tore off two pieces wrapped around sweet potatoes, and handed them over. "Hurry up, while they're still warm. I chatted for a while over there, and if Da Bao hadn't reminded me, these sweet potatoes would have gotten cold."
Sha Zhu chuckled and squatted down to start gnawing on it.
"Silly brother, you're really something."
He Yushui rolled her eyes, took a bite, and then asked, "You guys seem to be having a lively conversation. What are you talking about?"
"Sigh, what can we talk about? Yu Li wanted to introduce Da Bao to someone this morning, but Da Bao didn't agree. As a result, Xu Damao went out of his way to get involved. That couple must just want to introduce Xu Damao to someone."
Before Sha Zhu could finish speaking, He Yushui exclaimed in surprise, "Brother, it's not like you're introducing Yu Haitang, is it?!"
Sha Zhu nodded repeatedly, a sweet potato still in his mouth.
"No way, are we really going to introduce Yu Haitang to Xu Damao?!" He Yushui's face went numb, but then she thought about it again and something seemed off. "Wait a minute, bro, I just saw Yu Haitang shake hands with Brother Dabao?"
Sha Zhu swallowed the sweet potato in his mouth and chuckled, "That was because I told them to shake hands. I was determined to ruin it for Xu Damao."
"Dude, you're really awesome."
After saying that, He Yushui took a deep breath, gave a thumbs up, and then took a big bite of the sweet potato, munching on it with a grumbling voice.
Sha Zhu said smugly, "That's right. Don't you know who your brother is? Over the years, Xu Damao has never been able to beat me."
Sha Zhu wrapped the sweet potato in a newspaper, put it next to the stove, and got up to walk into the house.
He Yushui glared at her: "Where are you going? I haven't finished talking yet."
"Wait here, I'll go buy some tea."
With that, Sha Zhu picked up the thermos and ran off.
The deaf old woman smacked her sweet potato: "Are we out of tea leaves at home?"
He Yushui chuckled and glanced at Sha Zhu's retreating figure: "No tea at home can taste as good as the one brewed by Qin Huairu."
"Too."
The deaf old woman sighed.
