Chapter 144 What’s Wrong with Sister-in-law

Yang Chong didn’t care too much about what Pian’erye said. He didn’t care whether Fan Jinyou stuck with Xu Huizhen or not, as long as he stopped harassing Chen Xueru.

But he remembered another thing, which was what Fan Jinyou had just said about Manager Gong Fang.

If what Fan Jinyou said is true, then this tavern is going to have some trouble in the future.

With a public manager, Xu Huizhen would no longer be the sole manager of the tavern. Especially if the public manager was Fan Jinyou, there would be no need for her to continue running the tavern.

Seeing that Xu Huizhen didn’t seem to take Fan Jinyou’s words to heart, he didn’t mention it either.

Let’s wait and see. It won’t be too late if it really happens one day.

When he returned to the courtyard, he ran into Sha Zhu who had just returned when he arrived at the door. Yang Chong remembered that Sha Zhu seemed to be going on a blind date today, so he asked, “Brother Zhu, didn’t you go on a blind date today? How was it? Did it work out?”

Unexpectedly, Sha Zhu shook his head and said, “I didn’t go today.”

Yang Chong was stunned: “Why?”

Thinking of Yu Shui’s words, he asked again: “Is it a photo…”

Sha Zhu shook his head and said, “No, it’s Sister Qin…”

It’s Qin Huairu again…

Sha Zhu said halfway, seemed to realize something, scratched his head awkwardly, and continued: “Sister Qin had a stomachache today, I took her to the hospital, and came back late, so we didn’t meet.”

Qin Huairu is determined to keep Shazhu single!

Yang Chong was speechless, but he was too lazy to say more. He just shook his head and went in.

Sha Zhu felt a little embarrassed, but still followed him into the yard.

As soon as he entered the middle courtyard, he saw Yi Zhonghai standing at the door with a dark face. When he saw him, he called out, “Zhu Zi, come here. I have something to ask you.”

Sha Zhu hesitated for a moment, but still went over.

As soon as he entered the house, Yi Zhonghai asked impatiently: “Zhu Zi, let me ask you, didn’t you agree to meet the girl this morning? Why didn’t you go? The girl waited in the park for more than an hour, and the matchmaker blamed me to death.”

Then he added: “Don’t tell me you went to work today. I asked Wang Haibo and he said you took a day off and didn’t go to work at all.”

Sha Zhu said awkwardly, “Uncle, I was going to go, but just before I left, Sister Qin suddenly said she had a stomachache and couldn’t even walk, so I took her to the hospital on a cart, but by the time I got back it was too late.”

“You…” Yi Zhonghai was so angry that his face turned green: “Don’t you know which is more important? Why do you care about Qin Huairu when you are looking for a wife for yourself? Isn’t it her mother-in-law who can help her with her stomachache? Is it your turn to show your love?”

Sha Zhu said, “Uncle, didn’t you tell me that the Jia family was in trouble and asked me to help Sister Qin? Sister Qin has such a severe stomachache and her mother-in-law doesn’t care about her. Can I just stand by and do nothing?”

Yi Zhonghai was so angry that he was shaking: “You, I…Zhu Zi, are you missing a bone in your head? I asked you to help the Jia family because I saw that Dongxu was in trouble. Now Dongxu is dead…”

Sha Zhu said: “If Dongxu dies, Sister Qin will be in a more difficult situation. Shouldn’t I help her more?”

Yi Zhonghai was so depressed. The lady next to him said, “Zhu Zi, I know you are a good person and like to help others, but there is a time to help others, right? Your blind date is a lifelong event. Isn’t it a pity to delay it like this? Besides, you are a bachelor, and you are always so close to a widow. Who will dare to marry you in the future?”

Silly Zhu was speechless. Auntie looked at Yi Zhonghai and said, “Well, old man, you can talk to the girl and tell her that Zhu was delayed by something. Let’s make another appointment. I guarantee that she won’t miss the appointment again.”

Yi Zhonghai nodded helplessly: “Okay, I’ll go talk to the matchmaker and see if there is still a chance.”

Sha Zhu apologized with a smile: “Uncle, thank you for your help.”

Yi Zhonghai sighed and shook his head: “You kid, who made me watch you grow up? I have always treated you as my own son. If I don’t take care of you, who will?”

At this time, at the Yang family across the street, Yang Chong’s family were sitting together eating, talking about how Sha Zhu couldn’t get married today.

Yang Xiaojuan said angrily: “I think Qin Huairu did it on purpose! She didn’t want Brother Zhuzi to go on a blind date, so she pretended to have a stomachache to pester him. She is such a mean person. I used to think she was a bit pitiful for being bullied by her mother-in-law and her husband, but now I see that she is not a good person either!”

Yu Xiu also said: “Brother Zhuzi is really something, I can’t see why he is willing to jump into the fire pit.”

Yang Xiaojuan said angrily, “I think Brother Zhuzi is just crazy and has been bewitched by this woman. You don’t know, I reminded him several times today that he still has blind dates to go on, but he still didn’t listen to me. But that damn old woman was so angry with me that she almost wanted to fight with me. Humph, it’s a good thing she didn’t do it. If she dared to do it, I would have beaten her up with a broom today.”

Yu Xiu quickly said, “Xiao Juan, don’t be so impulsive in the future. After all, you are still a child. Your brother and I are not at home. What if something happens?”

Yang Chong also said: “Your sister-in-law is right, you are still young, there are some things you can’t handle, try not to get involved, if there is anything, wait for me to come back and deal with it.”

Yang Xiaojuan nodded: “Okay, brother, sister-in-law, I get it, I’m just angry for Yu Shui.”

The three of them were talking when someone at the door asked, “Chongzi, Xiu’er, are you eating?”

It was Xu Damao’s voice. Yang Chong responded, “Yes, it’s Brother Damao, right? Is there anything you want to talk about? Come in and talk.”

The curtain was lifted and Xu Damao came in with a smile on his face.

He was holding a lot of things in each hand.

Yang Chong quickly stood up and said, “Brother Damao, what are you doing?”

Xu Damao put the things on the table next to him and said, “Chongzi, these are some local specialties I brought back from the countryside today, peanuts, dates and so on. I can’t finish them all myself, so I came to give you some.”

Yang Chong said, “How can I be so embarrassed? These things are so precious. Brother Damao, have you eaten yet? How about sitting down and eating together?”

Xu Damao waved his hand: “No, no, I’ve already eaten, you guys hurry up and eat, don’t worry about me.”

As he said this, he pulled a stool and sat aside.

Yang Chong saw that his expression was a little strange, and his eyes could not hide his happiness, so he asked curiously: “Brother Damao, do you have something to talk to me about? If you have something to say, just say it directly, don’t hesitate.”

Xu Damao was about to speak but stopped: “Don’t worry, eat first, it won’t be too late to talk after you finish your meal.”

Yang Chong waved his hand and said, “It’s okay, I’ve almost finished eating, you can still talk, otherwise I won’t have the appetite to eat this meal.”

Xu Damao finally spoke: “It’s like this, Chongzi, I came here because I want you to go over and see your sister-in-law.”

Yang Chong was stunned: “What’s wrong with sister-in-law? Are you feeling unwell?”

Xu Damao chuckled: “No, she has been feeling nauseous and wants to vomit these past two days.”

Chapter 145 You are doubting my ability

Several people were stunned, and Yang Chong blurted out: “You mean Sister Lou might…”

Xu Damao nodded with a smile: “It looks a bit like it. I wanted to ask her to go to the hospital, but your sister-in-law said that Chongzi is more reliable, so she wanted you to go and see her first so that she can feel at ease.”

Yang Chong stood up immediately: “Okay, I’ll go now, this is a happy event.”

Yu Xiu also quickly said: “Yes, this is a happy event, Brother Chongzi, you should go quickly.”

The two of them hurried to the backyard, and when they left, they were seen by Yi Zhonghai who had just walked out of the house.

Yi Zhonghai watched Yang Chong and Xu Damao hurriedly go to the backyard, and both of them had happy looks on their faces. He couldn’t help but feel puzzled, wondering why these two were so happy to get together again.

The two men came to the backyard. As soon as they entered the house, they saw Lou Xiao’e walking around in the house with a red face. When she saw him come in, she asked anxiously: “Chongzi, do you think this is true…”

Yang Chong had a clue in his mind as soon as he saw her complexion, but he still said, “Don’t worry, sister-in-law, let me take her pulse first and then I’ll know everything.”

“Yes, yes, yes, Ezi, Chongzi, both of you sit down quickly and check first.” Xu Damao quickly placed the stools in front of the dining table, then carefully helped Lou Xiaoe sit down.

It looked as if Lou Xiao’e was already pregnant and was about to give birth.

Lou Xiao’e blushed and said angrily, “No need for that. This is totally irrelevant.”

Xu Damao said: “If you are really pregnant, then you will be the treasure of my Xu family and you must take good care of me.”

Lou Xiao’e sat down with a red face and stretched out her hand. Yang Chong placed his fingers on it for a few seconds and nodded: “Yes, it is, sister-in-law is indeed pregnant this time.”

“Really?” Xu Damao was overjoyed when he heard this. He hugged Lou Xiaoe’s face and kissed her twice without caring that Yang Chong was right in front of him: “It’s true that there is a moth. That’s great. Our Xu family has an heir! From now on, we don’t have to listen to people in the courtyard saying that we can’t lay eggs anymore.”

Lou Xiao’e hit him twice quickly: “Chongzi is still here, you can’t…”

Xu Damao then remembered Yang Chong, and let go of Lou Xiaoe and grabbed Yang Chong’s hand anxiously: “Brother, thanks to you, you saved me and your sister-in-law, and also saved the ancestors of my Xu family for eighteen generations. You don’t know, if I can’t give birth to a son in this life, I will be like that old bastard Yi Zhonghai and have no descendants. I won’t even be ashamed to enter my Xu family’s ancestral tomb after I die.”

Yi Zhonghai in the front yard sneezed loudly several times in succession: “Who the hell is talking about me?”

Xu Damao said, “Ezi, I told you long ago that our Chongzi brothers are capable people, but you didn’t believe it then. How are you now? Are you lucky to have Chongzi brothers?”

Lou Xiao’e’s face was also full of red, she was so happy: “Chongzi, you, you are really amazing. If it weren’t for you, I really don’t know that I could still get pregnant. I really thought I was a hen that doesn’t lay eggs.”

He stood up and excitedly walked out. Xu Damao asked quickly, “Where are you going?”

“I have to go back to my parents’ home and tell them the good news. They will definitely be happier than us,” said Lou Xiao’e.

“Oh my silly girl, don’t you see what time it is now? It’s dark now. If you want to go, you have to go tomorrow, right?” Xu Damao quickly stopped her.

Lou Xiao’e then remembered that it was already evening and sat down embarrassedly.

Xu Damao was still excitedly expressing his gratitude to Yang Chong: “Chongzi, I don’t know how to thank you. It’s you who made me hold my head up high and become a man, and now you’ve given me the chance to become a father…”

Yang Chong couldn’t listen any longer and stood up quickly: “Alright, alright, Damao, you should thank your sister-in-law. It’s all thanks to your sister-in-law. I can’t help you so much.”

Lou Xiao’e burst out laughing, and Xu Damao said, “Well, let’s go to Quanjude tomorrow. I’ll treat you and Xiu’er to roast duck. Oh, and Xiaojuan, too.”

Yang Chong waved his hand: “No need, we are all family, why should we be so formal.” Then he walked out: “Okay, you and sister-in-law can enjoy yourself, I have to go back to eat.”

Xu Damao said, “Moth, Chongzi heard that you might be pregnant, so he came with me before he even finished his meal. I won’t say anything else, Chongzi, if you have anything to say in the future, just tell me. If I, Xu Damao, say no, I’ll be a tortoise!”

When Yang Chong returned to his home, Yu Xiu and Yang Xiaojuan immediately asked, “Brother Chongzi, how is it? Is Sister Lou really pregnant?”

Yang Chong nodded: “It’s true, it’s a pregnancy pulse.”

Yu Xiu said happily: “This is really a happy event. People in the courtyard gossip about this and that every day, saying that Sister Lou doesn’t lay eggs. I feel unfair for her when I hear it. Now it’s good, let’s see who dares to talk nonsense in the future.”

Yang Xiaojuan said: “Sister-in-law, when will you and my brother give me a nephew? I am anxious to become an aunt.”

Yu Xiu’s face turned red and she glanced at Yang Chong: “You should ask your brother. Your brother said that we are still young and there is no rush to have a child so early. He also said that if we have a child, we will not be able to do anything.”

Yang Xiaojuan said, “What are you afraid of? I’ll help you take care of your children when you have them. Anyway, I have nothing to do at home all day and I’m not old enough to go to work, so isn’t it just right for me to help you take care of your children?”

Yu Xiu just looked at Yang Chong, and Yang Chong shook his head: “We definitely need a child, but it’s too early now. I still want to play with your sister-in-law for two more years. By the way, I want to accompany your sister-in-law back to her hometown someday. Let’s talk about the child after we come back.”

Yang Xiaojuan pouted and said, “Huh, if you keep dragging your feet and don’t want a child, you won’t end up like Xu Damao, will you?”

Yang Chong’s eyes widened all of a sudden: “Yang Xiaojuan, are you doubting your brother’s ability?”

Yu Xiu burst out laughing, and Yang Xiaojuan quickly shook her head: “I don’t dare to doubt you. You don’t let my sister-in-law sleep all day and night, and I can’t sleep well either.”

After he finished speaking, he realized that he had said too much, and his face suddenly turned red. He quickly lowered his head and stuffed the remaining rice into his mouth, saying, “Sister-in-law, I’m going back to my room. You wash the dishes today.”

After saying that, he left without looking back.

Yang Chong looked at Yu Xiu, whose face was also red. She said to him angrily, “What are you looking at? It’s all your fault. You’re so perverted all day and all night long. I can’t stand you anymore. Xiaojuan is still a child. How can she sleep after hearing this?”

As he spoke, he glanced over there unconsciously: “When I was in the village, the aunties and ladies talked about being like a donkey, and they were like you, right?”

Chapter 146: Moth was able to get pregnant thanks to Chongzi

Lou Xiao’e finally became pregnant, which was great news for Xu Damao.

Because Lou Xiao’e had been struggling to get pregnant for the past two years, the couple felt ashamed in the yard. The gossiping women in the yard either said that Lou Xiao’e was a hen that didn’t lay eggs, or that Xu Damao’s family didn’t do good things, so God punished him by making him childless.

Now that Lou Xiao’e was pregnant, the Xu family would have an heir. Xu Damao was so excited that he got up the next morning with a bag of peanuts and started distributing peanuts door to door in the yard.

These peanuts were given to him by his fellow villagers when he went to the countryside to show movies.

The first stop was Yi Zhonghai.

It was not because Yi Zhonghai was the boss of the hospital, but because Yi Zhonghai had been saying behind his back that he was a bad guy. In the end, he hadn’t done anything bad, but his bad reputation had spread.

Now, I’m going to have a son, but you, Yi Zhonghai, don’t have one yet. I’m going to show off in front of you and make you, your old son, mad to death!

When Yi Zhonghai opened the door and saw the peanuts in Xu Damao’s hand, he was stunned for a long time. He couldn’t understand why this “bad seed” in the yard would think of giving him peanuts.

But when he heard Xu Damao’s purpose, his expression suddenly became extremely ugly.

He was not a fool, of course he knew Xu Damao’s intention. This bad grandson was trying to make him angry on purpose.

But there was no way, he had to keep eating the peanuts and watch him show off in front of him.

As soon as he got back to the house, he angrily threw the peanuts in his hand to the ground: “Bah! Damn Xu Damao, you are worthy of having a child? Is God blind?”

The aunt looked at him in surprise and said, “Old man, it’s a good thing that her wife is pregnant. How can I offend you by giving you some peanuts?”

Yi Zhonghai glared at her and said, “What do you think? I have been an upright person all my life but I don’t have a son, but I have a grandson as bad as him. Don’t you think this is because God is blind?”

The old lady curled her lips, rolled her eyes at him and ignored him.

Yi Zhonghai was alone there sulking for a long time before he gradually calmed down and began to think about a question: “Why have I never had a child in my life, but how did Xu Damao suddenly make his wife pregnant?”

“This guy has been so close to Yang Chong for a while, especially last night he even called Yang Chong to his house. Could it be that this matter is related to Yang Chong? Could it be that Yang Chong helped him find a good doctor to cure the couple’s illness?”

Yi Zhonghai felt a little regretful at this time. He regretted that he was just angry and why he didn’t ask Xu Damao how Lou Xiao’e suddenly got pregnant.

Did I meet a famous doctor? If so, I should find out where the doctor lives.
