Douluo's Blue Silver Family

Chapter 263 Sha Zhu is getting anxious

A few days have passed, and Yuan Changqing's job has been settled. Since today is Sunday, the factory is not open, so he can only report to Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill tomorrow.

When Yuan Changqing arrived at the front courtyard, he saw Xu Damao walking out of the middle courtyard.

"Xu Damao, isn't today Sunday a holiday? Why are you up so early? Are you going on a date again?" Yuan Changqing greeted him.

Xu Damao said happily, "It's Changqing! You're up so early too. But I'm not going on a date today. I got up so early to get my marriage certificate with my girlfriend. Just wait and see, you'll be eating my wedding candy this morning!"

Then, Xu Damao took out another piece of paper and said, "See this? It's a marriage introduction letter. It was issued yesterday."

Yuan Changqing smiled and said, "Congratulations! You were just saying you were dating a few days ago, and I didn't expect you to move so fast. You're getting married in just a few days."

"That's right, you don't even know who I am. I'm not that idiot Sha Zhu who went on several blind dates and failed. I won my wife over in one go." Xu Damao said this with a smug look on his face.

Yuan Changqing then asked, "So, who's your boyfriend?"

"Hehe, once I get the marriage certificate, I'll bring my wife back tonight. You'll see then. Okay, that's all for now, I need to hurry and pick up my girlfriend." After saying that, Xu Damao walked straight out of the courtyard gate.

In fact, Yuan Changqing knew who it was, but seeing that Xu Damao didn't say anything, he knew that Xu was a smart man. He did a good job of keeping things secret before things were even settled, because he was afraid that someone would interfere.

After seeing Xu Damao leave, Yuan Changqing thought to himself that if Sha Zhu knew that Xu Damao was getting married today, he would definitely be furious.

Living in this compound, everyone knows that Xu Damao and Shazhu have been enemies since childhood. Now, Xu Damao has gotten married without a word. This is outrageous!

So Yuan Changqing hurriedly walked towards the central courtyard and arrived at the door of Sha Zhu's house.

"Clap clap clap!"

"Silly Zhu, silly Zhu, get up!" Yuan Changqing called out while banging on the door.

"Who is it? It's so early in the morning. It's Sunday, and we don't have to work. Can't a person get some sleep?!" Sha Zhu said angrily when he heard the loud banging on the door.

"It's me, Changqing. I didn't come to call you to work. There's a happy occasion in our compound today. Xu Damao is getting married. Did you know that?" Yuan Changqing replied.

Soon, Sha Zhu opened the door, not even putting on his shoes, and hurriedly asked, "Changqing, how did you know? You weren't just trying to trick me, were you?!"

Seeing Sha Zhu's expression, Yuan Changqing knew that Xu Damao's news of the outcome had shocked him.

"Hey, Shazhu, do you think I'd joke about something like this so early in the morning? Xu Damao just left to pick up his girlfriend to get their marriage certificate," Yuan Changqing said, rolling his eyes at Shazhu.

Then he asked, "Shazhu, you said you and Xu Damao have been mortal enemies for so many years, so you should know his situation best. How come you didn't know Xu Damao was getting married?"

Upon hearing Yuan Changqing's words, Sha Zhu's face immediately showed annoyance. How could he have forgotten about that grandson Xu Damao!

Sha Zhu then began to explain: "Sigh, didn't Jia Dongxu from our Intermediate People's Court die from a work injury? An old man asked me to help out the orphans and widows of the Jia family."

"So, I've been busy with the Jia family's affairs these past few days."

"As for when that bastard Xu Damao started dating, I don't know either. I haven't spoken to him for a long time."

These words left Yuan Changqing speechless. He thought to himself, "Judging from your attitude, I bet you're secretly pleased with yourself, yet you still have so many excuses."

Then, Yuan Changqing said, "Shazhu, you're not young anymore. Right now, in our compound, only you, Xu Damao, and Liu Guangqi are of marriageable age."

"Besides, look, Xu Damao will soon have a wife, and Liu Guangqi is said to have a girlfriend too, so marriage shouldn't be far off. All that's left is you, aren't you in a hurry?"

Upon hearing this, Sha Zhu immediately said, "Look at what you're saying. How do you know I'm not in a hurry? I'm as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, I'm so anxious I'm getting a little irritated."

"But what can I do even if I'm anxious? I haven't found anyone suitable yet. I can't just settle for anyone!"

"Besides, with my qualifications, I'm not bad at all. I have two big rooms, and I'm a cook, so I don't have to worry about food or clothing. I even get more than thirty yuan a month. I won't have to take care of my in-laws after I marry into the family. Tell me, it's not easy to find someone with my qualifications!"

Yuan Changqing's partner, Sha Zhu, was speechless. "You've been on so many blind dates and haven't succeeded. Haven't you ever looked into why? Now you're even gloating over your own good qualities."

"Hehe, according to you, you should be able to find someone easily. How come you haven't found one yet? You're not getting any younger, shouldn't you be thinking about marriage?" Yuan Changqing asked with a smile.

Sha Zhu continued, "It's all Xu Damao's fault. Every time I go on a blind date, he sabotages me behind my back. It could have gone well, but he talks badly about me and ruins my reputation."

"Otherwise, I would have been married long ago, and probably even have a son by now, who might be old enough to run errands."

Yuan Changqing nodded and said, "Alright, you and Xu Damao really are rivals. I'm going back now."

After saying that, Yuan Changqing was about to leave.

Seeing Yuan Changqing about to leave, Sha Zhu quickly grabbed him, saying, "Changqing, don't go yet, I still have something to ask you!"

Yuan Changqing was also somewhat puzzled and asked, "What do you want to ask me?"

Sha Zhu said, "You know, Xu Damao went to get his marriage certificate today. Do you even know who his girlfriend is? How can she be so blind? How could she even be interested in someone as rotten as Xu Damao?"

Good heavens, Xu Damao and Shazhu are truly mortal enemies; neither of them looks down on the other.

Yuan Changqing knew this, but it was only in his memory.

So Yuan Changqing shook his head and said, "Shazhu, I asked, but Xu Damao didn't say. He said he would introduce him to the people in the compound when he comes back tonight and distributes wedding candy."

Then, Yuan Changqing deliberately chuckled and said, "Silly Zhu, just wait and see if you can eat the wedding candy. Then you'll know who it is and which family is so blind."

"Hey, Changqing, you're doing this on purpose, aren't you? You want to see me make a fool of myself? Just you wait and see, I'll find someone and get married soon." Shazhu said as if he had made up his mind.

Seeing Sha Zhu's expression, Yuan Changqing knew he was daydreaming and even looking for a wife. With the old man's brainwashing techniques and the future "white lotus" (a seemingly innocent but actually manipulative woman), he was destined to be a hard-working ox.

Yuan Changqing waved his hand and said, "Then I wish you all your dreams come true soon, and that you can have a warm bed and a wife and kids every day."

Upon hearing this, Sha Zhu became lost in his beautiful fantasy, occasionally letting out a "hehe" laugh, which gave Yuan Changqing goosebumps. Yuan Changqing was so frightened that he ran away immediately; it was simply too creepy.

When Sha Zhu woke up from his fantasy, he realized that Yuan Changqing was nowhere to be seen.

"Hey, that Yuan Changqing, he left without even saying goodbye. I hadn't even finished asking him a question. He's so inconsiderate," Sha Zhu muttered to himself.

However, Sha Zhu then remembered the news he had received from Yuan Changqing that Xu Damao was getting married. He frowned, thought for a while, then quickly dressed, closed the door, and walked out of the courtyard.

Seeing Sha Zhu rushing around in the front yard, Yuan Changqing asked, "Sha Zhu, why are you in such a hurry? Where are you going?"

"Ah, it's nothing. I just remembered I had something to take care of, so I'll go and deal with it now." Sha Zhu made up an excuse and hurriedly left the house.

Judging from Sha Zhu's appearance, Yuan Changqing guessed that he must have been severely shocked to learn that Xu Damao was getting married, and he must have gone to find a matchmaker to help introduce him to a potential partner.

However, Yuan Changqing was right; Sha Zhu really did go to find a matchmaker.

Regarding marriage, Sha Zhu thought that although marriage is outdated, he couldn't fall behind.

In the future, we can also have a competition to see who can have more children. As long as you can have more children than Xu Damao, you will win.

...

Before noon, Xu Damao led a woman in a red dress to the courtyard. By then, everyone in the courtyard knew that Xu Damao was getting married.

Afterwards, Xu Damao and his wife went door to door distributing wedding candies.

Everyone came out to watch the excitement. When they arrived at Yuan Changqing's house, Xu Damao introduced, "Uncle Yuan, Aunt Jiang, Changqing, this is my wife, Lou Xiao'e. Here are your wedding candies."

Jiang Fen accepted the wedding candy and said with a smile, "Da Mao, you are so lucky! We'd love to share in your good fortune."

"Hehe, Aunt Jiang, you're right. Marrying Xiao'e is a blessing I earned in my past life," Xu Damao replied with a smile.

Yuan Changqing then said, "Xu Damao, Sister Xiao'e, congratulations on your marriage."

"Thank you, Changqing. We'll talk to you later, Xiao'e and I still have to go to other neighbors' homes." After saying that, Xu Damao took Lou Xiao'e to other neighbors' homes to continue distributing wedding candies.

After Xu Damao finished distributing the front yard, he headed towards the middle yard.

People from the front yard also came into the yard to watch the excitement.

At this moment, the third uncle said, "Xu Damao really has a stroke of luck. Just by looking at his wife's demeanor, you can tell she comes from a wealthy family. She has an air of nobility about her."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Changqing looked at the Third Uncle with some surprise. It must be said that the Third Uncle had a good eye for people. Wasn't Lou Xiao'e from a wealthy family?

Yuan Changqing stood with Yan Jiecheng and said, "Third Uncle, you have such a good eye for people. Why don't you find a matchmaker for Yan Jiecheng in the future? With your judgment, you can save a lot of money by finding him yourself."

"Changqing, just say what you want to say, but don't drag me into this, okay?" Yan Jiecheng said at this moment.

However, after listening to Yuan Changqing's words, the Third Uncle really fell into deep thought, and it was unclear whether he took it seriously.

If so, then he truly lives up to his name as the Third Uncle; he's stingy to the core, even calculating the cost of his own son so meticulously.

Seeing the Third Uncle's expression, Yuan Changqing was afraid that he might take it seriously, which could potentially hinder Yan Jiecheng's progress.

So Yuan Changqing quickly said, "Third Uncle, you didn't really mean it, did you? I was just joking."

"No, no, how could Third Uncle take it seriously?" Yan Fugui waved his hand and said.

Yuan Changqing nodded. As for whether what the Third Uncle said was true, that remained to be seen.
