The situation is now clear: Xu Damao has obviously offended He Daqing.

The neighbors in the courtyard can then do whatever they want.

After leaving the courtyard, Xu Damao returned to the deaf old woman's room and sat quietly for a long time.

Finally, he sighed and decided to borrow money from house to house in the courtyard.

Borrowing money from my parents is out of the question.

Given Xu Fugui's shrewdness, he would surely reveal something once Xu Damao arrived.

When the time comes, the fact that he recognized the deaf old woman as his grandmother will be impossible to hide.

That's right, Xu Damao made the decision to reunite with his family on the spot without discussing it with his parents.

If Xu Fugui and his wife found out what Xu Damao had done...

They were determined to break Xu Damao's legs.

The deaf old woman is Xu Damao's grandmother, and is the mother of Xu Fugui and his wife.

Suddenly having an ancestor on your head for no reason, who can stand that?

How should the ancestors of the Xu family conduct themselves?

Moreover, this ancestor is unable to take care of himself and will only cause trouble for future generations.

The Xu couple would never be willing to waste their money on her.

Having acknowledged his ancestors and abandoned his dignity, Xu Damao shamelessly began knocking on doors to borrow money.

First, there was the deaf old lady knocking on the door to ask for a meal; then, Xu Damao knocking on the door to borrow money.

It has to be said that the two of them really do look like grandfather and grandson.

However, all the neighbors in the courtyard shared the same dissatisfaction with them.

Borrowing money is out of the question.

Anyone who lends money to Xu Damao is truly throwing their face on the ground for him to trample on.

Even the usually enthusiastic He Yuzhu stood idly by under his father's orders.

After walking around the yard without being able to borrow money, Xu Damao had no choice but to go to the factory to ask.

Unfortunately, his reputation in the factory was also terrible.

Not a single coworker was willing to help.

After all that effort, Xu Damao hadn't gotten anything.

Chapter 146 Raising troops to investigate crimes

"Xu Damao, you little bastard!"

The piercing screams echoed through the backyard, attracting many neighbors to watch.

Xu Damao, who was huddled in the room of the deaf old woman, trembled instinctively upon hearing the familiar voice.

Immediately, a fear from the depths of his soul surged into his heart, and Xu Damao panicked, not knowing what to do.

The truth will eventually come out, and Mr. and Mrs. Xu found out what their son had done.

And unsurprisingly, they came back to fight back.

The deaf old woman lying in bed was awakened by the noise. She frowned, raised her hand shakily, and tried to grab her cane to scold the troublemakers outside.

However, after learning the other person's identity, the deaf old woman suddenly became lost and dejected. Her hand, which she had raised halfway, fell limply down, as if all her strength had been drained.

His murky, watery eyes stared intently at Xu Damao, as if afraid he would run away.

No matter how much a grandmother you're recognized is important, she's never as important as your own parents.

If Xu Damao leaves with his parents, the deaf old woman will be all alone again.

During this time, thanks to Xu Damao's care, she was finally able to enjoy the happiness of family life.

If it were to end here, it would be worse than death.

After all, once you've experienced the light, it's hard to bear the darkness anymore.

Xu Damao was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, still thinking about how to explain to his parents.

Xu Fugui and his wife then opened the door and rushed into the house.

"You little beast, you didn't even greet your own parents when they came back, and you're hiding in your room with this wretched old woman."

Do you really think she's your ancestor?!

Xu Fugui strode forward and slapped his son across the face.

A clear handprint immediately appeared on Xu Damao's narrow face. Stunned, he didn't have time to think and hurriedly knelt on the ground, hugging his father's leg.

"Dad, I was wrong!"

Ignoring everything else, I knelt down and begged for forgiveness first, and explained after my father's anger subsided.

Otherwise, Xu Fugui might really break his legs.

"You...you're bad...sob..."

The deaf old woman in bed was heartbroken to see her grandson being beaten.

Unfortunately, she was physically weak and could only mumble a few words cursing Xu Fugui.

Seeing the deaf old woman's miserable state, Xu Fugui's anger flared even more.

Unexpectedly, Xu Damao actually recognized a useless person as his ancestor, which has completely disgraced the Xu family!

"You little beast, I've raised you for nothing all these years, I'll beat you to death!"

Xu Fugui raised his hand, ready to slap Xu Damao a few more times.

It was Xu's mother who pulled her husband back from behind, urgently persuading him.

"Honey, stop hitting him! Stop hitting him!"

There must be a reason why Da Mao did this; listen to his explanation first.

"It's not too late to hit them if something's wrong."

As Xu's mother spoke, her gaze swept over the deaf old woman on the bed, her eyes filled with resentment.

It's all that old man's fault.

If it weren't for her, her husband and son wouldn't have had this falling out.

Old and still not dead, yet she's a thief! Why doesn't this old thief just die?

"Humph!"

Xu Fugui snorted coldly and did not continue to hit Xu Damao.

After all, it was his own child, and Xu Fugui couldn't bear to do it.

"Say what you have to say right now!"

"Dad, let me explain."

I...I had no choice..."

When Xu Damao thought of the suffering he had endured, he couldn't help but burst into tears.

With tears streaming down her face, she recounted all the things that had happened to her in the factory and the yard.

Xu Damao is cowardly at heart, and after experiencing so many incidents, he has accumulated a lot of pressure in his heart.

However, everyone in the courtyard was hostile, and he had no relatives around him, so he could only keep everything to himself.

Today, with his parents returning, he felt much more at ease despite his initial fear.

At least now I finally have someone to confide in.

After hearing Xu Damao's explanation, Xu Fugui's anger subsided considerably.

"So, just to ruin Liu Haizhong's plans, you went and recognized a deaf old woman as your grandmother?"

Xu Damao didn't speak, but simply nodded in agreement.

With his own parents right in front of him, he couldn't care less about the deaf old woman's feelings and could only tell the truth.

"You...hey..."

Xu Fugui pointed at his son and said with a look of disappointment.

How can I possibly say anything to you?

I told you to work hard at the factory, but you insisted on playing tricks.

I told you to get along well with He Daqing and Yi Zhonghai, but you insisted on causing trouble.

You brought this upon yourself!

Xu Fugui closed his eyes, rubbed his forehead, and sighed.

Xu Damao really made all the mistakes he should and shouldn't have made.

Not only did he offend all the helpers Xu Fugui had arranged for him, but he also got involved with Liu Haizhong, who was already his enemy.

It would have been bad enough if they had gotten together, but then they were tricked.

It's absolutely shameful.

It jumps around repeatedly, courting death time and again, yet it has managed to survive in the yard until now.

Xu Fugui didn't know whether to scold his son for being incredibly foolish or to praise his amazing endurance.

"Honey, stop cursing."

Da Mao was young and impulsive, and he followed someone else's path.

It's not entirely his fault.

Xu's mother defended her son.
