Courtyard House: Purchasing Agents' Comeback from the Great Famine

Chapter 508 Sha Zhu Kneels Down to Apologize to Xu Damao

Hearing Xu Damao's almost explosive roar, Sha Zhu wasn't angry. He endured the excruciating pain in his body, bowed respectfully to Xu Damao, and sincerely said:

"Xu Damao, I'm sorry."

Xu Damao could hardly believe his ears. He stood up abruptly and shouted at Shazhu:

"Silly Zhu, what did you just say?"

"Xu Damao, I'm sorry."

Sha Zhu sincerely apologized to Xu Damao again, his eyes devoid of sorrow or joy, as if he had seen through the illusions of the world.

This time, Xu Damao finally heard it clearly, and he looked at Shazhu in disbelief.

This was the first time he had ever heard Shazhu say "I'm sorry" in his entire life.

"Hey, you idiot, what the hell are you doing? Let me tell you, don't even think about trying to pull any tricks on Master Mao."

Sha Zhu shook his head, his tone extremely serious: "Xu Damao, I know that because I was reckless in the past, I caused you to be unable to have children and cut off the Xu family line. I am here today to sincerely apologize to you."

"Xu Damao, you don't need to admit it. I know that the attacks I was attacked before were all caused by people you hired from outside. Now I'm getting my just deserts. I'm even worse off than you. Not only can I not have children, but I've also become a eunuch. One of my kidneys was cut off, and I was shot in the lung. Even if my injuries heal in the future, I'll still be a complete and utter cripple."

"Xu Damao, I've been lying in this hospital bed for a while now, and I've thought it through. I was in the wrong first. I understand that you hate me and want my life."

Sha Zhu paused for a moment, then continued, "I'm here to apologize to you not because I'm afraid of death. I'm already in this state, and even if I live, I'll only suffer for the rest of my life. If you really want my life, I'll give it to you. I just hope you can forgive me and not let me die in peace."

Xu Damao stared blankly at Shazhu. He rubbed his eyes and pinched himself hard. When he felt the pain in his arm, he realized that he was not dreaming and that this was actually real.

At this moment, he was filled with shock, confusion, and disbelief. Was this really the same Sha Zhu he knew?

He never expected that Sha Zhu would apologize to him, and Sha Zhu's expression was so serious that it didn't seem like he was there to tease him.

He just didn't expect that Sha Zhu would be so certain that he was the one behind it all. He and his father hadn't left any clues about this matter from beginning to end, and even the police couldn't find any evidence. He didn't believe that Sha Zhu had any evidence to prove that his father did it.

He would never admit to this, no matter what. If Sha Zhu was trying to trick him into revealing this, then his and his father's lives would be over. Thinking of this, he looked at Sha Zhu and shouted sternly:

"Silly Zhu, don't talk nonsense. When did I ever want to kill you? Do you believe I'll sue you for defamation?"

Sha Zhu shook his head with a wry smile: "Xu Damao, I told you, I don't need your acknowledgment. I came here this time to sincerely apologize to you."

Xu Damao looked at Shazhu with suspicion, then sneered:

"Silly Zhu, you say you sincerely apologize to me? Fine, I, Xu Damao, will give you that chance today. Kneel down and I'll forgive you. Otherwise, go back to where you came from."

Upon hearing Xu Damao's words, Sha Zhu's face showed a struggle. He had never even knelt before his parents in his entire life, and now he had to kneel before Xu Damao, which made him very conflicted.

Xu Damao clearly saw the struggle in Sha Zhu's expression and roared:

"Silly Zhu, you can't kneel down now, can you? I was perfectly fine, and you ruined my life, leaving me childless. You won't even kneel down to apologize to me, and you say you're sincerely apologizing?"

Upon hearing this, Sha Zhu took a deep breath, enduring the sharp pain in his chest and waist, and with a thud, resolutely knelt before Xu Damao. Head bowed, eyes red-rimmed, he sincerely said:

"Xu Damao, I'm sorry."

"this……"

When he saw that Sha Zhu had actually knelt down and apologized to him, Xu Damao looked like he had seen a ghost, his eyes filled with shock and confusion.

"You...you really are idiot Zhu?"

Xu Damao looked at Sha Zhu kneeling in front of him in shock and asked this question.

He and Sha Zhu had been friends since they were little, but they had been at odds for years. He knew Sha Zhu's character very well, and he was certain that Sha Zhu was not acting normally today. If Sha Zhu hadn't clearly stated their grudges, he would have even suspected that Sha Zhu was possessed by something.

Hearing Xu Damao's doubts about him, Sha Zhu nodded with a wry smile.

"Da Mao, I remember, when we were little, we were the best of friends in our compound. Jia Dongxu was older than us and didn't play with us. When my dad asked me to sell steamed buns on the street, you would often come with me. When other people in the compound bullied you, I would fight them for you. You would also often take me to your house to steal your dad's wine. Back then, I would bring my family's pickled vegetables, and we would drink wine and eat pickled vegetables. How happy we were."

"But ever since my dad left Beijing, our relationship has gotten worse and worse. In the end, every time we met, you would curse at me, and I would want to beat you up too. I know that it was all because of other people's instigation that our relationship got worse and worse, which eventually led to disaster. Da Mao, I'm sorry."

"Hahaha, hahaha."

Upon hearing Sha Zhu's words, Xu Damao burst into laughter, but as he laughed, his eyes reddened and tears streamed down his face.

He pointed at Sha Zhu, who was kneeling on the ground, and roared, "Sha Zhu, do you know what? You're a fucking idiot! I used to treat you like a brother, but what did you do? You listened to Yi Zhonghai and that old deaf guy's instigation, framed me, and even tried to beat me up."

"People say I, Xu Damao, am some kind of bad seed, and you actually believe it? You idiot, do you even have a brain? What exactly is wrong with me, Xu Damao? Did I steal something from someone in the yard, or did I steal someone's wife?"

"Do you know that I treated you like a brother and didn't want you to be misled by others, which is why I wanted to warn you? But what did you do in the end? Without even asking what happened, you threw the clothes my mother made for me into the latrine?"

"Shazhu, I don't want to talk about our past grievances anymore. I, Xu Damao, will only say one thing: I have never wronged you."

"Go away. Now that you're a cripple, I'm not much better off. I, Xu Damao, am a man of my word. I said that as long as you kneel down and apologize to me, I will forgive you. From now on, our two families will never have anything to do with each other again."
