Dressed as a little fool: marry and have children

Chapter 414 Conflict

Xu Damao dragged his tired body and stepped heavily into the threshold of the courtyard, his face full of frustration and anxiety.

The afterglow of the setting sun shone obliquely on his furrowed brows, highlighting the tiny blisters at the corners of his mouth caused by anxiety, which looked particularly glaring. He kept licking the pain with the tip of his tongue, trying to ease the irritability in his heart, but it only added a little discomfort.

As soon as I stepped over the threshold, I unexpectedly met He Yuzhu who had just returned from outside. He Yuzhu was wearing neat work clothes, carrying fresh pork head meat purchased from the market, with a warm and sincere smile on his face, which seemed to dispel all the haze.

He looked up and saw Xu Damao, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, then he nodded politely and prepared to move on.

However, Xu Damao's emotions completely exploded at this moment. He suddenly stopped, turned to face He Yuzhu, clenched his hands into fists, his knuckles turned white due to the force, and the corners of his mouth trembled slightly due to anger.

His eyes were filled with complex emotions - jealousy, unwillingness, and a hint of imperceptible inferiority.

"He Yuzhu, you...what do you mean?!" Xu Damao's voice was a little hoarse due to excitement. He tried hard to control his emotions, but his words still revealed a strong smell of gunpowder.

"In the factory, you deliberately acted superior. Isn't that enough? Now that we're back at the courtyard, you still show me this sarcastic smile. What do you want? Aren't you just relying on your position as deputy factory director?!"

As he spoke, Xu Damao's finger almost poked He Yuzhu's nose, his face twisted and ferocious, like an enraged beast. His chest rose and fell violently, and every breath was accompanied by a heavy gasp, showing his extreme injustice and anger.

When He Yuzhu heard this, the smile on his face seemed to be blown away by a sudden cold wind, and gradually solidified into a deep and complex calmness.

He tilted his head slightly, a hint of subtle mockery flashed in his eyes, and he glanced at Xu Damao beside him. In his eyes, there was both helplessness towards Xu Damao's unreasonable behavior and confidence and expectation that he would reveal the truth.

He sighed inwardly, as the celebration he had originally planned seemed to be overshadowed by this sudden dispute. But on second thought, this might be a small test from fate, allowing him to remain calm in the face of the upcoming victory.

"If you are sick, go see a doctor. Why are you barking at me?" He Yuzhu's words were filled with some suppressed anger, but more of it was disdain and sarcasm for Xu Damao's behavior. After he finished speaking, a faint sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, as if he was mocking Xu Damao's ignorance and stupidity.

Then, without giving Xu Damao any chance to respond, he turned around and took big steps, walking straight into the courtyard. Every step he took seemed so firm and powerful, as if he was announcing his determination and position to Xu Damao.

When he walked into the courtyard gate, He Yuzhu looked back at Xu Damao. His eyes showed both relief for the past and expectations for the future. He thought to himself, "Let this all end as soon as possible."

Afterwards, he disappeared into the depths of the courtyard without looking back, leaving Xu Damao alone standing there, staring in amazement at He Yuzhu's departing back.
