Courtyard House: New Life, New Silly Zhu

Chapter 91 Xu Damao Gets Beaten Up

"Brother, you're back? Why are you so late today?"

After receiving the benefits, He Yuzhu went straight home, put his bag on the table, and handed one of the lunch boxes to He Yushui.

"Today, the host family had a lot of guests, so I couldn't leave early. I waited until everyone was almost done before coming back. I also stopped by your sister-in-law's place early to give her a lunchbox," He Yuzhu said simply.

He let He Yushui eat the food in the box, while he took out the wad of bills that Xu Damao had taken out of his pocket.

There wasn't much money in it, only about twenty yuan in total, but there were a lot of different kinds of tickets.

There were sugar coupons and oil coupons that He Yuzhu needed, as well as some cigarette coupons.

These things will also come in handy when you get married.

However, what he was most concerned about at this moment was whether his father would check if the child was actually from the Xu family after Xu Damao told him about it.

Will Xu Damao's inability to have children be exposed to his family prematurely?

Outside the courtyard, Xu Damao and Zhang Daya saw He Yuzhu return to the courtyard, and Xu Damao then comforted Zhang Daya.

"Da Ya, look, I gave him all the money and tickets." Xu Damao emptied his pockets to show that he was penniless.

But Zhang Daya knew perfectly well that no one would carry all their wealth with them. Although Xu Damao had taken a lot, it was just that he didn't lack these things normally and always carried these banknotes with him.

"You should have done this a long time ago, Da Mao," Zhang Daya said, feigning anger.

"Look at that idiot Zhu. If you don't give him some benefits, he'll probably spread the word about what happened between us. How will we face anyone then?"

Although Xu Damao was very angry with He Yuzhu, he now had a special feeling for the child in Zhang Daya's belly.

This was his first child, but he never expected it to appear in Zhang Daya's belly in this way.

He had only been drunk before and had a brief encounter with Zhang Daya, but he never expected to get pregnant on the first try, which made Xu Damao so happy he wanted to jump for joy.

Although his family wasn't exactly a three-generation single-son lineage, his parents didn't have any brothers or sisters. In his generation, it was just him and Xu Xiaoling.

Now that he has his own child, the third generation of the Xu family has a foothold. This makes Xu Damao both excited and conflicted.

As mentioned before, Xu Damao was forbidden by Xu Fugui from going to see Zhang Daya again.

But this time, they had a child, and no matter how much his father tried to stop them, he couldn't.

"Zhang Daya, I'll talk to my dad tomorrow and we'll get married then, so we don't run into someone like He Yuzhu again. No matter how much money we have, we can't afford to compensate them. Don't you think so?" Xu Damao didn't want to talk about anything else. He just wanted to discuss it with her and get married as soon as possible.

Zhang Daliao had originally intended to say something, but Xu Damao unexpectedly brought up the topic of marriage, which immediately made Zhang Daliao happy.

"Da Mao, are you serious?" Zhang Daya asked Xu Damao, linking her arm with his.

Feeling the warmth coming from his arm, Xu Damao's heart began to stir again.

"Of course it's true. I'm not going back today. I'll stay at your place for another night." After what happened today, Xu Damao really didn't want to go back. He wanted to spend some time with Zhang Daya first, and then confront his father directly tomorrow morning.

It just so happened that only his sister was home that day, so he told her what to do and then hurriedly ran out of the courtyard house, not returning until the next day.

When Xu Damao opened the door, he found his father, Xu Fugui, sitting on a stool.

When Xu Damao saw the dark circles under his father's eyes, his heart skipped a beat.

As expected, Xu Fugui said to Xu Damao angrily after he returned.

"You little brat, didn't I tell you not to hang out with that girl? You ignored me!" Xu Fugui said angrily, and picked up a broom from the side and started hitting Xu Damao.

The broom lashed at Xu Damao's bottom, one stroke after another, making him scream in pain.

Xu Damao couldn't help but circle around, trying to avoid his father's violent attacks, while pleading, "Stop hitting me, stop hitting me, I was wrong, okay?"

Upon hearing Xu Damao's words, Xu Fugui became even angrier and cursed, "You're wrong! You know you're wrong, yet you still dare to act recklessly!"

Xu Damao didn't know what was wrong with his father, but he knew that if the beating continued, he would definitely lose his backside today.

Thinking of this, Xu Damao quickly changed the subject and shouted, "Dad, stop hitting me, I have some good news for you."

"What news? Tell me quickly," Xu Fugui stopped, panting heavily. He was getting old and couldn't keep up. He would have to deal with him again after he finished telling him the news.

Xu Damao, leaning on the table, watched Xu Fugui sitting in a chair, panting heavily, and said ingratiatingly, "Dad, tell your Zhang Daya that she's pregnant."

"What!" Xu Fugui's eyes widened, unable to believe his ears.

Xu Damao thought his father was happy, and said with a smile, "Dad, how is it? You're going to be a grandfather. Aren't you happy? Aren't you excited?"

"Happy?" Xu Fugui said through gritted teeth, "Happy my ass!"

Hearing Xu Fugui say this, Xu Damao was displeased: "Dad, how can you talk like that? He's still your grandson, how can you say such a thing?"

Xu Fugui snorted coldly, about to say something, when his mother finished preparing breakfast and brought it out to the table.

Watching the farce that had unfolded that morning, Xu's mother sighed, "Let's eat. You're all grown up, yet you're still so immature."

"You're still thinking about food? Your son gave us a grandson, do you know that?" Xu Fugui said irritably.

Xu's mother was taken aback, then looked at Xu Damao: "Damao, is what your father said true?"

Xu Damao nodded, tacitly agreeing to the news.

"Oh dear, Da Mao, you really are something else," Xu's mother sighed, somewhat helplessly. "Da Mao, you're usually so smart, how could you be so muddle-headed this time?"

Xu Damao looked at his mother and felt a little strange. He didn't know why his parents were like this. Had he done something wrong?

Looking at Xu Damao's foolish appearance, Xu's mother sighed and was about to speak.

Just then, Xu's father grabbed her arm. Xu's mother looked at him in confusion, not understanding why he was stopping her from telling her son the truth.

Mr. Xu glanced at Xu Damao, then said to Mrs. Xu, "Wife, let's talk about this later; now is not the time."

The fact that this woman already has a child speaks volumes; Xu Damao is trapped in someone else's scheme.

As parents, do they really want to abort Xu Damao's unborn child?

Mrs. Xu pulled Mr. Xu outside and asked in a low voice, "Old Xu, what do you think we should do? We're already pregnant."

"What else can we do? First, we need to find out if this woman is from the Eight Great Hutongs. If she is, we should abort her; if not, we should keep her," said Mr. Xu.

Mrs. Xu nodded and said, "Alright, let's do it that way then. But how are you going to investigate this matter?"

The Lou family has some connections, but this is none of their business, and they won't help them investigate these matters.

After thinking for a moment, Mr. Xu said, "I will investigate this matter."
