Upon hearing Sha Zhu's words, Yi Zhonghai showed a look of great satisfaction and nodded approvingly at Sha Zhu.
"The fact that you can think like this means you've truly grown up."
"Oh my, Uncle Yi, I'm already in my mid-twenties, and you're only realizing now that I've grown up!"
Sha Zhu chuckled, knowing full well that Yi Zhonghai didn't mean it that way, but still joked, "Don't worry about me from now on, I'll definitely change my bad habits, save money and live a good life."
The two chatted as they entered the front yard.
When Yi Zhonghai saw a lot of people standing at the door of Yan Bugui's house, he immediately felt a tightness in his chest and quickly reached out to tug at Sha Zhu's sleeve.
As they walked, he whispered, "Zhu Zi, these people must know you're going on a blind date tonight, so they're waiting here specifically to see who your date is."
Sha Zhu snorted and said, "Let them look if they're jealous. We're upright and honest, so we're not afraid of them looking. I was just wondering how to show off to them, and this is perfect."
Sha Zhu had already seen a large crowd gathered in front of Yan Bugui's house and knew that everyone was there to watch the excitement, but he didn't care.
Because at this point, he had already locked eyes with Xu Damao.
Sha Zhu raised his head slightly, his eyes full of contempt as he looked at Xu Damao.
It's practically written on their faces, "I'm going on a blind date, starting a new life, and I'll be holding a big, healthy baby boy soon. You idiot, you'll just stay single forever!"
The two had been feuding in the courtyard for years, but today Sha Zhu suddenly felt a sense of triumph.
However, when Xu Damao met Sha Zhu's gaze, he seemed somewhat lacking in confidence and angrily turned his eyes away.
This made Sha Zhu even more arrogant, and he snorted loudly at Xu Damao.
Yi Zhonghai smiled and nodded to the crowd at the entrance of Yan Bugui's house as a greeting, and then led Sha Zhu to the gate.
After the two figures disappeared, Xu Damao became angrier and angrier. What a mess! It was just a blind date. Anyone who didn't know better would think that his blind date was the Queen Mother of the West.
"What a scoundrel! He dresses up like a proper human being, but it's a miracle that any girl would even look at his old face. He's a real piece of work."
Xu Damao got anxious, his eyes widened, and he shouted at the group with his neck stiff.
This gesture clearly indicates an attempt to gain the approval and support of the people around him.
Yan Jiecheng took a step closer to Xu Damao and was about to speak when Liu Guangtian, who had just arrived, spoke first.
"They say clothes make the man and a saddle makes the horse, but this Sha Zhu really lives up to the saying that even in a yellow robe he doesn't look like a prince. Look at his attire and his old face, this girl must be forty to marry him."
"She's forty years old, can she still be called a young lady?"
Yan Jiecheng chimed in, "Guangtian, you're wrong. You mean Yi Zhonghai introduced Shazhu to a forty-year-old maid?"
Seeing everyone's gaze turn towards him, Liu Guangtian smirked.
"Who knows? Maybe he's divorced. Otherwise, who would want to date Sha Zhu? We can give him two sons and become fathers ourselves. In a few years, we can watch Sha Zhu holding his grandson!"
Everyone burst into laughter upon hearing this.
Even Liu Haizhong, an old man, didn't scold his son for the hurtful words; on the contrary, he felt quite relieved.
Two days ago, Sha Zhu almost made him lose his temper with his words, but today, after hearing his son insult Sha Zhu, he felt much better.
Wang Dabao laughed along, Liu Guangtian's words were really sarcastic.
However, it wouldn't be bad for Sha Zhu to find a divorced woman with children at this point; at least it would be better than letting Qin Huairu leech off him.
Even if the woman brings a child over, she can still have more children with Sha Zhu later. Sha Zhu has a skill to rely on, so there's no way his mother and children will go hungry.
However, at this point, Sha Zhu still couldn't understand this.
“Guangtian, it’s not that I’m criticizing you, but what you’re saying is really unpleasant to hear.”
Yan Bugui stopped laughing and opened his mouth to lecture Liu Guangtian.
Liu Guangtian had a look on his face that said, "You're not having any fun right now." He said, "Hey, Uncle, what are you saying? You were laughing the most just now, and now you're starting to criticize me. Your son is right here. Let him tell you if you laughed just now."
Yan Jiecheng's expression tightened, and he retreated behind the crowd.
That's not what I meant.
Yan Bugui adjusted his glasses. He had only wanted to show off his second uncle's authority and teach his son Liu Haizhong a lesson, but he hadn't expected to get too carried away and give Liu Guangtian a handle to use against him. Now he was in a bit of a predicament.
Seeing Yan Bugui so embarrassed by Liu Guangtian's retort that he wanted to scratch the wall, Liu Haizhong coughed lightly.
"Guangtian, how can you talk to your second uncle like that? Old Yan meant well, but you really need to watch your words in the future. We're all neighbors in the same compound. It's a good thing that Shazhu is going on a blind date, but how come it's been twisted in your mouths?"
"And you, Da Mao, I know you two have a grudge, but don't forget your current status."
As Liu Haizhong spoke, he put his hands behind his back, and his expression became serious. "You all saw what happened at the gate that day. You saw what Sha Zhu said to me. I'm so old, and he has no sense of respect for elders at all. But I didn't get angry with him then!"
"What is this? This is magnanimity."
As Liu Haizhong spoke, his gaze swept over Liu Guangtian, Yan Jiecheng, and Xu Damao in turn.
"You are still young, and you must not let your current grudges and affections blind you. You must broaden your horizons and open your minds."
"Brother Da Bao, do you think I'm right?!"
After saying that, Liu Haizhong's expression relaxed, and he looked at Wang Dabao with a smile.
