Chapter 328: Nine Boys
Liu Haizhong nodded, and the two of them arrived at Yan Fugui's house one after the other.
Yan Fugui was somewhat surprised to see Liu Haizhong and Xu Damao arrive together: "What's going on with you two...?"
Xu Damao cut straight to the point: "Third Uncle, Second Uncle and I have important business to discuss with you. Let's talk privately."
Yan Fugui immediately gave the three old women a wink: "Old woman, why don't you go out for a walk first? I need to say a few words to Lao Liu and Da Mao."
The three women nodded, turned around, and left.
Yan Fugui then looked at the two of them: "Alright, there's no one here now, just say what you have to say."
Xu Damao sat up straight: "Third Uncle, in terms of seniority and contributions to the courtyard, it has to be you and Second Uncle. We want to unite like-minded people in the courtyard and not let the He family ride roughshod over us anymore."
Yan Fugui looked at Liu Haizhong, who nodded solemnly: "What Da Mao said is exactly what I wanted to say. It all depends on what you mean."
Yan Fugui pondered for a moment: "You mean, the three of us should unite to isolate He Daqing?"
"Not only He Daqing, but the entire He family, we are isolated." Xu Damao said with certainty.
Yan Fugui hesitated, "Da Mao, are you sure you can do it?"
Xu Damao smiled confidently: "It wasn't like that before, but now it's at least 70-80% likely. Didn't you notice? There's definitely something wrong with He Yuzhu today. No matter how much he can drink, he couldn't possibly be that drunk. There's definitely something shady going on in their family. The reason everyone in the courtyard is fawning over He Daqing is just because he and his father are cooks and they can be of use."
Liu Haizhong asked in confusion, "Besides us, who else is at odds with the He family?"
Xu Damao lowered his voice: "The Jia family."
Liu Haizhong waved his hand dismissively: "The Jia family is just full of the old, weak, sick, and disabled. What use are they?"
"Second Uncle, don't underestimate the Jia family," Xu Damao said with a smile. "Jia Zhangshi's mouth is incredibly sharp. She might not be good at fighting head-on, but when it comes to stirring up trouble, no one can beat her. If we support her from behind, we can let her cause trouble from the front, which will be twice as effective with half the effort."
Liu Haizhong slapped his thigh: "Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant!"
Yan Fugui frowned: "Da Mao, the other cook you mentioned is Nan Yi, right? But Nan Yi doesn't get along with the Jia family. Jia Zhangshi's mouth has already offended them to death."
Xu Damao chuckled: "Third Uncle, that's easy. The reason Nan Yi and the Jia family don't get along is because Jia Zhangshi has a foul mouth, right? Let's get Jia Zhangshi to apologize to Nan Yi. Nan Yi is an outsider, so she'll definitely be willing to back down."
Yan Fugui looked incredulous: "Get Jia Zhangshi to apologize? Is that even possible?"
"Third Uncle, how can you be so confused?" Xu Damao said confidently. "The Jia family has no backing right now, anyone can kick them while they're down, they're in a hurry to find someone to back them up. Besides, is there anything money can't buy in this world? Give her some benefits, and she'll apologize."
Yan Fugui immediately started calculating: "That money..."
Xu Damao felt a surge of contempt in his heart, but smiled broadly and pulled out five yuan from his pocket, slapping it on the table: "Don't worry about the money, I'll pay. Is that enough?"
Yan Fugui was shocked: "Da Mao, didn't you lose your job? How do you still have so much money?"
"I lost my job, but my dad transferred his job to me," Xu Damao said with a smug smile.
Yan Fugui's eyes widened in surprise. He clicked his tongue inwardly, realizing how much Old Xu doted on his son, giving him a job so readily.
Xu Damao pushed the money towards the middle: "This little bit of money is nothing to me. So, tell me, do we want to do this?"
Liu Haizhong and Yan Fugui exchanged a glance and nodded in unison: "Let's do it! We'll do it your way. We'll contact more people and completely isolate the He family!"
On the other side, although Zhang Lei had heard about Sha Zhu's matter, he had no interest in paying attention to it and just stared blankly at Ding Qiunan.
Seeing him in a daze, Ding Qiunan waved in front of him and called out with a smile, "Honey, honey, are you so happy you've gone crazy?"
Zhang Lei was still in shock, unable to believe what he was hearing. He gripped Ding Qiunan's hand tightly, his voice trembling, "Are you telling the truth?"
Ding Qiunan nodded gently: "Honey, don't worry, I'm telling the truth. I've consulted several reputable doctors about this."
Zhang Lei released his grip, his face filled with disbelief: "This is unbelievable, too incredible! How could they all be boys?"
Hearing this, Ye Shuqin was somewhat surprised: "Honey, isn't a boy better? I like boys the most."
Ye Shuqi chimed in, "Honey, don't you most want our family to have many sons? Wouldn't it be wonderful to have so many boys?"
Ye Shuhua, who was standing to the side, also nodded in agreement.
Zhang Lei looked at the group and said helplessly, "I do like boys, but I also like girls. How could all three of you be carrying boys?"
Ding Qiunan suddenly realized what was going on and said with a smile, "Honey, I thought you were so happy you went crazy. Turns out you were just stunned because they weren't carrying girls."
Zhang Lei stared at Ding Qiunan in disbelief: "How could I have imagined that all three of them were carrying boys? Have you counted? That's nine!"
At this moment, Lou Xiao'e came over and gently comforted him, "Honey, don't be under so much pressure. If you don't have enough money, I'll ask my dad for some."
Zhang Lei looked at Lou Xiao'e speechlessly: "Do you think I'm the kind of person who doesn't have money? I was thinking that I should at least have a girl, but who would have thought that all of them would be boys?"
Upon hearing this, everyone burst into laughter.
Seeing everyone laughing so happily, Zhang Lei felt even more helpless: "What are you laughing at? In a while, I'll have you all checked out too."
The others were speechless. In this day and age, which family doesn't want as many boys as possible? But their own husbands were not happy to have so many boys; on the contrary, they were disappointed because they didn't have any girls.
Ding Qiunan walked helplessly to Zhang Lei's side: "Honey, even if they wanted to investigate, it wouldn't be the right time. They can't tell anything right now."
Zhang Lei was speechless. He had been happily waiting for Ding Qiunan to tell him some good news this morning, but instead, she had secretly taken Ye Shuqin and the other two to the hospital for a checkup and even decided on her own to find out the baby's sex. Although the hospital had rules against such tests, he couldn't hide the fact that his family had connections there.
Although Zhang Lei appeared disappointed, everyone else was overjoyed; for them, the more family members, the better.
Chen Xueru gently touched her belly, secretly wondering whether she was carrying a boy or a girl. Looking at Zhang Lei's expression, she secretly hoped it was a girl; Zhang Lei would definitely like that. But soon, she was drawn to the conversation of the others around her.
Ding Qiunan looked at Ye Shuqin: "We need to prepare clothes in advance. If the three of you have children at the same time, we'll need even more things."
Ye Shuqin nodded: "That's for sure. We'll prepare the clothes for the children and all the supplies needed for production in advance."
Everyone joined the discussion, since the genders of the nine children in Ye Shuqin's and the other two women's wombs had already been determined—they were all boys.
