Courtyard House: Drunk and barging into the Xu family's house, I woke up numb.

"You saw what happened to Xu Damao's father. He's still being held at the factory because of just a couple of words."

“Yesterday, Ma Hua came to see me at the hospital. I heard him say that the security department had told him that he would have to spend the New Year with the factory.”

"You're talking about me too. I had a sharp tongue and insulted Lou Xiao'e, and she still beat me up, didn't she?"

"He remembers things like that, let alone the annulment of the engagement?"

"I didn't fall out with my sister, that's only because of our past friendship."

"We don't even dare to think about the two of them getting back together, and even if we wanted to, it would be impossible."

"The day I beat up Xu Damao, I ran into him behind the canteen, hugging and kissing that new doctor Ding from the factory. They're probably dating."

"I'm not trying to belittle my sister, but Dr. Ding is beautiful and has a good job; she's much better than my sister."

Upon hearing this, Yi Zhonghai breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, he was most afraid that Cao Xu would get involved with He Yushui.

He Yushui now has a lot of grievances against him, and Cao Xu is the culprit behind his actions today.

If these two are put together, would Sha Zhu still listen to him? It would be a hopeless ending!

"So, the deal between Rainwater and that police officer fell through?"

He Yuzhu looked worried.

"This matter is both dead and alive."

"Jiang Hai's mother didn't quite agree, but Jiang Hai himself was quite nice and didn't mention breaking off the engagement."

"He also talked to his parents, saying that they would wait until he and his father's positions were adjusted and stabilized for a while before discussing marriage."

"According to his plan, it will probably be during the National Day holiday."

Yi Zhonghaidao.

"So, this matter isn't settled yet?"

He Yuzhu said.

“It’s not a done deal. Yu Shui and Jiang Hai discussed this matter themselves. I wanted to talk to the Jiang family, but they wouldn’t let me.”

"But you said it's not appropriate for a girl like her to talk about these things with a guy."

Yi Zhonghai echoed.

"It's indeed not in accordance with the rules, but your dad isn't home, so it's not easy for you to discuss this."

"How about this, you tell Jiang Hai to arrange a time later."

“I will go to the Jiang family in place of your father and help Yushui put an end to this marriage.”

He Yuzhu was stunned.

"You're going?"

"This isn't appropriate."

After thinking for a moment, He Yuzhu said.

"It seems like it's just you. Besides you, there's only the deaf old lady in this courtyard."

“But the old lady is old and of a higher generation. If we let her go, wouldn’t that be using her seniority to pressure her?”

Yi Zhonghai thought to himself, "As long as your father doesn't come back, I'm definitely going."

"You should wait until Yushui comes back and talk to her about it. It's more appropriate for these kinds of things to be discussed between elders."

Changing the subject, Yi Zhonghai asked.

"By the way, did Qin Huairu tell you about the sticky rice cake?"

He Yuzhu asked in confusion.

"About the stick?"

"what's up?"

"Going to school?"

Yi Zhonghai stated frankly.

"The matter of Banggeng recognizing a godparent."

He Yuzhu stared at Yi Zhonghai and smiled.

"What's wrong, old man? Does Sister Qin want Banggeng to recognize you as his godfather?"

Yi Zhonghai quickly waved his hand and said.

"It's not me, it's you."

"Qin Huairu wants Banggeng to be your godson!"

Yi Zhonghai's words stunned He Yuzhu, who looked completely disbelieving.

"Hey sir, don't joke with me like that."

“When Banggeng was a child, I wanted him to be my godson, but the Jia family disagreed.”

"Bang Geng is all grown up now, why bring this up again?"

Yi Zhonghaidao.

"In the past, it was because Jia Zhangshi disagreed, after all, Banggeng was their only son."

"Now that you've been injured by Xu Damao because of Qin Huairu, you probably won't be able to have children in the future."

"When they brought this up, they were also trying their best to make amends."

"I heard that Qin Huairu wants to introduce her younger sister to you."

“I’ve thought about it. What do you think? You should offer a larger dowry and promise her that you’ll find her a stable job after the wedding.”

"It seems that this marriage will most likely go through."

"When your circumstances improve in a couple of years, you can consider adopting a child."

He Yuzhu said.

"Uncle, you make it sound so easy. Let's put aside whether the marriage will happen or not for now."

"If this adopted child grows up and goes back to his biological parents, wouldn't we have raised him for nothing?"

"I raised them with great effort, changing their diapers and feeding them, only for them to grow up, become independent, and fly back home. Then all my efforts have been in vain."

"This kind of thing has happened around here before. Isn't that why you're not going to adopt a pet?"

Yi Zhonghai nodded in agreement. ......

"You're right, this kind of thing can happen."

"Therefore, I think the Jia family's suggestion is quite good."

"Banggeng is someone you've known since you were little, and you've always lived in the same courtyard."

“You can take him in as your godson, teach him cooking skills later, and let him go out with you to earn money.”

"Spending so much time together day and night, wouldn't our feelings for each other deepen?"

"The bond between father and son, the bond between teacher and student, the bond between heaven, earth, ruler, parents, and teachers—you possess all the qualities of parents and teachers. Why would you worry that he won't be filial to you in the future?"

"The child has made some minor mistakes and has some bad habits, but his character is still good. You can keep him by your side and guide him slowly."

"If you don't find a suitable child in the future, then when Banggeng gets married, let him have two children."

"The first child was surnamed Jia, and the second child was surnamed He. This can be considered as fulfilling the bond between you father and son and continuing the He family line."

"Do you think my idea is acceptable?"

"If it's possible, let's take advantage of the New Year's greetings and get this done in front of the deaf old lady."

"Is it possible?"

As soon as Yi Zhonghai finished speaking, a loud bang was heard, and the He family's door was kicked open.

"You son of a bitch, Yi Zhonghai, you're talking nonsense!"

When Yi Zhonghai saw that it was He Daqing who broke down the door, he felt a sense of panic.

He forced himself to remain calm and pointed at He Daqing.

"He Daqing, why are you cursing as soon as you get back?"

He Daqing took off the leather belt he had just bought that day and said angrily.

"Swearing at you is the least of my worries; today I'm going to beat the crap out of you!"

As he spoke, He Daqing's belt shot towards Yi Zhonghai.

With a crisp snap, a bright red welt appeared on Yi Zhonghai's forehead.

He Daqing swung his belt to strike a second time, but Sha Zhu stopped him as he raised his hand.

"He Daqing, what's wrong with you? You hit someone as soon as you walk into the house."

"And what are you doing back here instead of staying in your own little world?"

He Daqing snorted.
