The courtyard house, without the script of Sha Zhu.

Although they still couldn't help but be sarcastic, the so-called knot in their hearts was gradually thawing.

After Xu Damao returned to the compound, he spoke those words to his father, Xu Fugui, with a somewhat incredulous tone.

Xu Fugui showed surprise, but it only lasted for a moment.

Xu Damao, on the other hand, seemed somewhat confused and muttered to himself.

"Dad, Uncle Qing has been fighting with you for so long, why was he suddenly so easily manipulated by those two?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Fugui felt somewhat embarrassed.

Because the other party, him, and even Yi Zhonghai share almost the same hobby.

They both enjoyed strolling through the Eight Great Hutongs, and seemed to handle it with ease, but Yi Zhonghai appeared to be completely absorbed in it.

Li Mei's health was deteriorating, and Xu Fugui even believed over the years that it wasn't that she couldn't have children, but rather that it was a kind of infertility. However, he naturally couldn't bring up such an offensive matter in public.

As for why he was tricked, he could probably guess after a little thought.

Regarding their preferences for women, both he and Yi Zhonghai liked young girls, while He Daqing was the same as Cao Mengde.

He just happens to like widows.

It's just that nothing happened back then, but now that we're liberated, we can't use that as a basis for calculations.

That's the most likely explanation for what happened to the other party; they were tricked and taken away.

But how could he possibly tell the other person all of this directly?

His old face suddenly changed, and he spoke seriously.

"It's mainly that old deaf man. His identity and background are a bit mysterious, which is probably why he has the upper hand over the other party. Anyway, as long as you behave yourself, you won't be able to be controlled."

Xu Damao seemed to understand but not quite.

However, his apprehension towards the old deaf man and Yi Zhonghai also increased.

In this era, holidays are only three days long.

Time flew by, and before I knew it, I was back at work.

However, Jia Dongxu soon officially began his blind date journey.

When Yi Zhonghai found a matchmaker, he did not choose to hide it.

After explaining the Jia family's situation directly.

The matchmakers in the neighborhood all looked somewhat embarrassed.

There was no way around it; Jia Zhangshi's reputation was simply notorious.

However, no matter what, Jia Dongxu still has a formal job.

So, one matchmaker, also in order to earn this money, simply found a woman who lived far away and whose family was of average means.

And so, Jia Dongxu's first blind date officially began.

When the matchmaker led the girl into the courtyard, many people watched, but that was all they did.

After all, although the Jia family could not defeat the Cao family, they still had the help of Yi Zhonghai.

Most people are still not willing to offend them.

At the same time, Cao Wei watched this scene with a cold smile and couldn't help but shake his head.

Afterwards, seeing that their necks were stretched out so long, Xu Damao couldn't help but make a joke.

"Da Mao, how old are you? You're already thinking about this woman."

Xu Damao didn't confront Cao Wei when he saw it was Cao Wei, after all, Cao Wei's abilities were something his father had warned him not to offend.

He could even offend several families at once, so he simply went up to them and said something sweet.

"Hehe, Brother Wei, I just thought this was the Jia family's first blind date, and the woman was pretty good-looking, so the Jia family got a bit of a bargain."

Cao Wei simply didn't bother to expose Xu Damao's ulterior motives, since Xu Damao was all talk and no action.

After hesitating for a moment, Xu Damao couldn't help but speak to Cao Wei.

"Brother Wei, um... could you..."

Seeing Xu Damao's gaze fixed on his hand, Cao Wei instantly understood what the other man meant and casually tossed him a cigarette.

They couldn't help but curiously examine each other.

"Oh ho, you've even learned to smoke."

Xu Damao lit the fire with a match, took a puff, and patted his chest to show his appreciation.

"Of course, we're real men from Beijing."

Seeing the other person's somewhat seasoned smoking manner, Cao Wei couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

"By the way, how many times have you smoked now?"

"Hehe, the second time."

Upon hearing this answer, Cao Wei was speechless for a moment.

Goodness, the other person was already so skilled on the second try.

No wonder Yi Zhonghai and the old deaf man said that Xu Damao was a bad seed.

It's difficult for the other person to learn good things, but they've mastered anything even remotely related to evil without any instruction.

After shaking his head helplessly again, seeing that the other party still seemed to have some lingering affection for the Jia family's daughter, Cao Wei simply said slowly, "Don't worry, this girl won't marry into the family."

This piqued Xu Damao's curiosity, prompting him to ask a question.

"Why, Brother Wei? Think about Jia Zhangshi's reputation. You have a younger sister; would you want her to marry into a family like that?"

"Of course they wouldn't be happy about that."

Xu Damao shook his head subconsciously, then immediately realized what was going on.

Yes, with Jia Zhangshi's reputation, how many city girls would be willing to marry into her family?

The Jia family.

The matchmaker and the girl sat there, looking somewhat awkward.

As for Jia Dongxu, a mama's boy, this was his first blind date, and he didn't even know how to start speaking.

After stammering for a long time, he could only ask one question: "How old are you?"

After the girl replied, she noticed that her future mother-in-law, Jia Dongxu, had already looked her up and down.

Or perhaps it was like this from the moment we entered, after several inquiries.

It was learned that the girl had lost her father at a young age, and that her mother was a widow who worked as a street sweeper.

Even after a younger brother was born, she immediately put on a different face.

The girl initially didn't find the house too bad, even though it was rather ordinary. After all, not many families were well-off in those days. Plus, Jia Dongxu's face was decent enough, so she had a somewhat good impression of him at first, until she met Jia Zhangshi's sour face.

Although I was a little unhappy, I realized that my family was indeed just average.

She simply endured it. Faced with only a glass of water and not even a single thing to offer, the matchmaker's face turned ugly, but she still didn't speak. After answering a few questions from Jia and Zhang, she suddenly looked at Jia Dongxu and couldn't help but ask.

"Comrade Jia Dongxu, I'd like to ask you, now that you're married, what are your plans?"

Only then did Jia Dongxu belatedly realize that his own room was indeed somewhat inconvenient after getting married.

Unexpectedly, Jia Zhangshi started acting strangely at this time.

"Just throw up a curtain, does she really think she's some kind of rich heiress?"

At this point, the girl's patience was almost at its limit, as it was approaching mealtime.

Madam Jia seemed rooted to the spot, sitting there with a sour expression. The young lady simply stood up and looked at the Jia mother and son before saying something.

"I'm sorry, I can't get through this door."

As soon as she finished speaking, the girl walked out of the Jia family's house in just a few steps.

The two people who arrived at the courtyard gate, or rather, Xu Damao, looked somewhat astonished as they watched the somewhat imposing girl walk out.

He couldn't help but mutter to himself.

"Brother Wei, you're simply amazing..."
