Courtyard House: Purchasing Agents' Comeback from the Great Famine

Chapter 507 Sha Zhu goes to Xu Damao's house to apologize

Sha Zhu and He Daqing returned to the house. After seeing Yan Fugui out, He Daqing was about to help Sha Zhu to bed when he heard Sha Zhu say:

"Dad, could you help me to Xu Damao's house? I have something I want to talk to him about."

He Daqing was taken aback, then said in surprise, "Shazhu, what else do you have to say to Xu Damao? Let me tell you the truth, I reckon that the attacks you've been subjected to are most likely related to that bastard Xu Damao. He's hiring people to kill you."

"Don't worry, Shazhu, Dad will avenge you. I will never let Xu Damao get away with this."

Sha Zhu nodded: "Dad, I know all this. You don't need to take revenge on Xu Damao."

"Knowing this, why did you still go to see Xu Damao? Have you lost your mind?" He Daqing scolded.

Sha Zhu sighed, shook his head with a bitter smile, and said, "Dad, this is all my fault. If I hadn't been so reckless and kept kicking Xu Damao, turning him into a childless man, Xu Damao wouldn't have sought revenge on me. I've thought it through. I'm going to apologize to Xu Damao and settle this score."

Upon hearing this, He Daqing looked at Sha Zhu with suspicion and uncertainty. If he didn't know for sure that this was really his silly son, he would have thought that Sha Zhu was possessed by some kind of dirty thing.

After a long silence, He Daqing sighed deeply, looked solemnly at Sha Zhu, and asked:

"Silly Zhu, are you really sure about this?"

Sha Zhu nodded emphatically: "Dad, I've thought it through."

"Okay then."

Seeing that Sha Zhu was so insistent, He Daqing didn't say anything. In the end, it was indeed his silly son who was in the wrong first.

After all, the Xu family relies on Xu Damao to continue their lineage. If anyone's lineage is broken, they would never settle for 1500 yuan in compensation.

With a sigh, He Daqing helped Sha Zhu walk step by step toward the backyard.

Passing by the Jia family's house, Jia Zhangshi saw Sha Zhu's half-dead state and burst into gloating laughter:

"Hey, you silly Zhu, you haven't been back for so long. I thought you'd died out there."

Ever since Sha Zhu stopped paying attention to Qin Huairu and stopped helping the Jia family, their lives have become increasingly worse. Jia Zhangshi has long hated Sha Zhu. He had been helping the Jia family so well before, how could Sha Zhu just stop helping them like that? Now, when she sees Sha Zhu, she is overjoyed because he needs help to walk.

Hearing Jia Zhangshi's sarcastic remarks, He Daqing and Sha Zhu both glared at her with murderous intent. He Daqing even pointed at Jia Zhangshi and roared:

"You crazy woman, I, He Daqing, did leave Beijing before, but I'm not dead. It seems like it's been over ten years since I last hit you, and you've become more and more arrogant. Let me tell you, when I, He Daqing, hit someone, I don't discriminate between men and women. You wait, when I'm done with this, I'll come over and have a good chat with you."

With that, He Daqing helped Sha Zhu and walked towards the backyard, ignoring Jia Zhangshi.

When Jia Zhangshi heard that He Daqing was going to beat her but also wanted to reminisce with her, she shuddered when she thought of He Daqing's previous ruthlessness. She cursed herself for not being able to control her mouth and hurriedly ran back to her room, slamming the door shut.

He Daqing and Sha Zhu went to the backyard. Sha Zhu said, "Dad, wait for me outside for a while."

He Daqing thought for a moment and said, "Shazhu, why don't I go in with you?"

"Dad, no need. Just wait for me outside. This is between Xu Damao and me. I want to settle things with him personally."

"Okay then. Just call me if you need anything, and call me loudly."

Seeing how determined Sha Zhu was, He Daqing could only nod in agreement.

He still needed to help Sha Zhu back later, and he was also a little worried about Sha Zhu going to Xu Damao's house. What if Xu Damao attacked Sha Zhu? Sha Zhu couldn't take any more trouble now.

He found a place to sit near Xu Damao's house so he could hear any noise coming from inside.

Sha Zhu stood at the door of Xu Damao's house, took a deep breath as if he were about to go to war, and after a full half minute, he mustered up his courage and resolutely knocked on Xu Damao's door.

"Knock knock knock".

"Who is it?"

Li Sumei asked from inside the house, and when no one responded, she quickly walked to the door and opened it.

The moment she opened the door, she asked in surprise, "Shazhu, it's you? What brings you to our house?"

Li Sumei knew about the feud between Xu Damao and Shazhu. It could be said that Xu Damao now regarded Shazhu as an enemy. She never expected that Shazhu would come to their house.

As for the fact that both Sha Zhu and Xu Damao wanted the other dead, she didn't know that, and Xu Damao wouldn't tell Li Sumei such a thing.

Sha Zhu forced a smile and looked at Li Sumei, asking, "Is Xu Damao home? I need to talk to him."

Upon hearing this, Li Sumei was quite surprised, but she still nodded and said:

"Da Mao is home, come in."

"Um."

Sha Zhu moved with difficulty and entered Xu Damao's house.

When Li Sumei saw that Sha Zhu could barely walk, she was very worried. If she had known that Sha Zhu was so weak, she would not have let him in. If something happened to Sha Zhu at her house, they would have no way to explain themselves.

Thinking of this, she quickly went to Sha Zhu and said, "Sha Zhu, are you alright? Why don't you go back and rest for a while, and come back when you're feeling better?"

Sha Zhu waved his hand, and as he slowly walked towards Xu Damao's room, he said:

"Don't worry, I won't die."

Since Li Sumei had already said that to Sha Zhu, she didn't say anything more. However, she still deliberately walked very close to Sha Zhu, so that she could help him up if he fell.

The two arrived at Xu Damao's room, and Li Sumei simply pushed the door open and went inside.

When Xu Damao saw Sha Zhu standing outside the door, his eyes instantly turned red, his fists clenched tightly, and veins bulged on his forehead.

"Sumei, you can go out now."

Xu Damao suppressed his raging anger and spoke to Li Sumei.

"Oh, Da Mao, Sha Zhu, you two talk things out, and whatever you do, don't fight, understand?"

Li Sumei knew that the two must have something to say, so she closed the door and went out.

"Shazhu, what are you doing at my house?" Xu Damao shouted.
