Siheyuan: Shazhu's Life Simulator

"Haha." Lou Bancheng laughed at himself and continued, "So what if I have a son? What's the difference between having one and not having one?" His tone became more and more desolate, making people feel pity for him.

After a moment of silence, Lou Bancheng tightly grasped Lou Xiao'e's hand and pleaded, "Xiao'e, Daddy only asks you one thing. We are father and daughter. When I die, you must bring my ashes back to my hometown and bury them in the ancestral tomb."

Lou Xiao'e looked at her father's haggard face, and her heart ached. She nodded vigorously and said, "Okay, Dad, I promise you." Then she turned around and prepared to leave.

Just as Lou Xiao'e was about to step out of the room, Lou Bancheng suddenly asked, "Your mother...is she okay?"

Lou Xiao'e paused when she heard this, but did not turn around. She just replied coldly with one word: "Okay." Then she left without hesitation.

After leaving home, Lou Xiao'e was in a heavy mood. She asked around for news about her father.

After some twists and turns, we finally learned that Lou Bancheng had been completely abandoned by the family, and it could even be said that he had been ruthlessly kicked out.

And the wife and children he once cherished so much, gradually began to treat him harshly when he was old and weak. When he was sick, he was just sent to the hospital, and then no one cared about him, leaving him to face life and death alone.

Lou Xiao'e returned home full of resentment. He Yuzhu saw that she looked worried and asked her what had happened with concern.

"What's wrong?" Lou Xiao'e's face was solemn, and her lips trembled as she said, "My dad..." He Yuzhu saw this and asked hurriedly, "Do you want to seek justice for him?" Lou Xiao'e shook her head slowly, with a trace of determination in her eyes, "No! He deserves it."

He Yuzhu looked at Lou Xiao'e's sad face and couldn't help but feel pity for her. He patted her shoulder gently and said softly, "Don't be too sad. It's over. We have to look forward." Then he started talking about some lighthearted topics to try to divert Lou Xiao'e's attention.

Time passed by, and with He Yuzhu's patient comfort, Lou Xiao'e's mood gradually improved. At this time, He Yuzhu said again: "Although I let you come back, I will never ignore you and your mother. After all, you paid a lot back then, and you are different from others. Moreover, I will leave all the properties in the mainland to you in the future. Aiguo and Aimin have had a good relationship with you since childhood, and we are a family."

However, no matter how He Yuzhu persuaded her, Lou Xiao'e could not let it go because she knew that her child had lost the inheritance rights for some reason. This was undoubtedly a heavy blow to a mother.

A few days later, He Yuzhu picked up the phone, dialed the number in the mainland, and explained his request to the other party. Unexpectedly, the other party agreed without hesitation. Then, He Yuzhu and Lou Xiao'e and others embarked on the return journey. After some twists and turns, they finally returned to the city they had been away from for a long time.

After arriving at their destination, they chose to check into a hotel first. After all, Lou Xiao'e had been away from here for a long time, and there was no one in her family to compete with her for accommodation.

He Yuzhu looked at Lou Xiao'e's slightly tired face and comforted her again in a soft voice: "I hope you can understand my actions. I am doing this for the sake of you and the child."

Lou Xiao'e nodded gently, indicating that she understood the reasoning: "Yes, I understand." Then she heard the other party say: "This time when you come back, you may have a chance to get back the Lou family's real estate, but as for the steel mill, I'm afraid there's no hope."

Lou Xiao'e did not show any disappointment on her face. Instead, she responded calmly, "In fact, I never expected to get the steel mill back."

Shortly after He Yuzhu made the call, the relevant parties quickly took action and began to make various preparations.

You know, the He family was forced to sell their house, and it is almost impossible to get it back now. However, the situation of the Lou family's luxury villa is different. Although the owner only asked for the return of the villa and did not mention other properties, if they really made more demands, it would undoubtedly become very difficult to deal with. After all, at such a critical moment, if this matter was spread, who would dare to come and invest and participate in the construction with confidence?

Originally, there were many families living in the villa, but on the day they heard the news, these residents began to pack up their luggage and move out to free up enough space.

Especially in the old Zhao's place of the Chen family, several families lived together, so it was inevitable that they were a little hectic when moving. Even so, they still tried their best to cooperate and complete the relocation work as soon as possible to make room for the original owner. As for Xu Fugui's house, it was also sold early, and there was no possibility of taking it back.

In this way, everyone could only live in the spacious villa of the Lou family for the time being. Because the old house of the Chen family had been in disrepair for a long time and there were many people living in it, it had already been ruined beyond recognition. When Chen Gensheng went to check it out, he saw the dilapidated scene in front of him, and his heart couldn't help but ache, feeling extremely sorry and distressed.

He Yuzhu said respectfully, "Uncle Chen, just give me your orders. No matter how you want to clean up this place, I will fully cooperate!"

Chen Gensheng nodded slightly, looked around, and slowly said: "Actually, there is no need to make too much trouble. As long as we can restore this place to its original state, it will be fine."

He Yuzhu nodded quickly and said, "No problem, Uncle Chen, I'll take care of this little thing!"

The Lou Family Villa has been through the years, but it is still in good condition. When those who don't want to stay in a hotel come here, they find that the receptionist has already cleaned up the house. Not only are all kinds of furniture neatly arranged, but even electrical appliances are also available, so you can move in right away.

Fortunately, the Lou family’s villa covers a large area and has many rooms, enough for everyone to live comfortably.

He Yuzhu turned to look at his wife Huairu and good friend Huizhen beside him, and said with a smile: "Huairu, Huizhen, thank you two for cleaning up the ingredients in the kitchen.

I plan to invite the big boss to my house for dinner." Qin Huairu thought for a moment and asked, "Zhu Zi, do you need us to go out and buy some fresh ingredients?"

He Yuzhu waved his hand and answered generously: "Well, you two can do whatever you want."

After that, He Yuzhu picked up the phone and dialed the number of the big boss. A familiar and friendly voice soon came from the other end of the phone: "Hello, who is this?"

He Yuzhu quickly responded with a smile: "Boss, it's me, Zhuzi!" The other party immediately laughed when he heard it: "Oh, it turns out to be you, kid. I heard that you are back."

He Yuzhu also laughed: "Yes, big boss. Look, I am now living in the villa before Lou Bancheng. If you are free tonight, could you please come to my humble abode for a simple meal?"

The big boss laughed heartily and said, "Haha, OK, see you tonight!" After hanging up the phone, He Yuzhu walked into the kitchen happily. He hadn't cooked for a long time. Today, he was going to cook a delicious Sichuan meal for the big boss himself.

The big boss actually left work early for the first time, which surprised and intrigued the secretary. She couldn't help but ask, "Boss, this is the first time you've left work so early."

The leader smiled and replied cheerfully: "Haha, today's situation is special, Xiao He is back."

Then the leader turned around and told his secretary, "Go get me two taels of my tea bags and two boxes of good wine."

Hearing this request, the secretary couldn't help but look embarrassed and said hesitantly: "Leader, your tea is precious. The amount you get every year is only a small amount. Even you don't usually want to drink more!"

However, the big boss smiled and explained, "Haha, that kid is very good at talking. Besides, his status is not ordinary now. The annual output is pitifully small. At least half of it is given to that kid by me."

After saying this, the leader seemed to remember something and a relieved smile appeared on his face.

Thinking of He Yuzhu's current status and achievements, the secretary suddenly understood, and the doubts in his heart disappeared in an instant.

Afterwards, the leader first hurried back home to pick up his wife, and then the couple drove to the Lou family villa. At this time, He Yuzhu had already led a group of people to wait at the gate of the villa. When he saw the leader and his wife's car slowly approaching, he hurried forward to greet them.

"Madam, it's been a long time since we last met!" He Yuzhu said with a smile on his face.

"Zhu Zi, we haven't seen each other for many years!" the lady responded, her eyes revealing the joy of reunion.

He Yuzhu smiled warmly and invited, "Yes, come in, please!" Then he led everyone into the house.

As soon as they entered the house, everyone went straight to the restaurant without any delay.

As soon as I sat down in the restaurant, the big boss praised me, "You are thoughtful."

He Yuzhu quickly replied modestly: "You are too kind, but I don't know if my cooking skills have deteriorated. You have to taste it."

The big boss narrowed his eyes slightly, savored it carefully, and nodded with satisfaction: "Well, it's still that familiar taste, it hasn't changed at all!"

He Yuzhu was delighted when he heard this. He quickly picked up the wine bottle and filled the leader's glass. He said respectfully, "As long as you like it, that's great." Then he sighed, "To be honest, I haven't cooked for a long time. I'm really worried that I'll become rusty."

However, these are just polite words. How could the cooking skills that are deeply engraved in our bones be easily forgotten?

At this time, the big boss put down his chopsticks and asked He Yuzhu with interest: "What on earth do you want to do by suddenly coming back this time?"

He Yuzhu stopped beating around the bush and answered directly: "Alas, my family members are all old, and I think the fallen leaves will always return to their roots."

After a pause, He Yuzhu seemed to have thought of something interesting, and asked the leader with a smile: "Leader, can you tell me if I can be considered a prince in ancient times?"

The big boss was amused by him and replied with a smile: "According to what you said, it can be considered as a king of a different surname in ancient times."

He Yuzhu became even more excited when he heard this, and asked excitedly: "If that's the case, should I have a prince's mansion of my own?"

The big boss raised his head, stared at him straight in the eyes, and asked with a smile: "Oh, so you are waiting for me here?" Then he waved his hand and continued: "Nowadays it is not like the ancient times!"

He Yuzhu said with a bitter face: "Then you can't just watch me without a place to stay, right?"

The person opposite raised his eyebrows and said with a half-smile, "You are exaggerating! Everyone knows that you have a house on Dried Fruit Street that is as magnificent as a palace."

He Yuzhu quickly waved his hands and explained, "That's different! I was born and raised in Sijiucheng, and I have deep feelings for this land." He paused, then said, "Leader, please discuss this matter with the higher-ups. You also know that my family is large, with dozens of people in the family. We have to find a place for us to spend our old age."

The big boss frowned and thought for a moment before saying, "You do have too many people. If the place is small, they won't be able to accommodate them. How about this? I'll just give you a piece of land and let you build a house yourself."

He Yuzhu hurriedly shook his head and refused, "Forget about the land. I still have this little money and can buy it myself. But... I already have an address in mind, which is No. 14, Liuyin Street, Shichahai Street, Xicheng District."

The big boss was stunned at first, then reacted instantly, pointed at He Yuzhu and scolded with a smile: "Hey! You really dare to think!"

He Yuzhu smiled and said, "I know this is difficult, but that's why I came to you for help. I really want that piece of land, and with our organization's strong strength and resources, this shouldn't be a difficult task, right? Although the land is not small, you know my family situation very well, so it won't be a waste of resources if you give it to me."

"In the future, every generation of my He family will have someone living here, four or five generations living under one roof. There really is no way to have too many people and too few children."

Big boss: "If it were me who had the final say, I would agree to it."

"Let me ask." He Yuzhu smiled and raised his glass to toast the other party, and said sincerely: "If you can help me find out the relevant situation, I will be very grateful." After that, he raised his head and drank the wine in the glass.

At this time, the big leader sitting opposite also raised his glass and took a sip, then put it down and slowly said: "You guys are doing very well in the south, and the results are quite good so far." Then, he looked at He Yuzhu with a sharp gaze and asked: "If everything goes well, do you have any specific plans for the next development?" (End of this chapter)
