Siheyuan: Shazhu's Life Simulator

His eyes flashed with pain, as if he was a soul swallowed by darkness, struggling in the abyss of despair.

A helpless and sad voice sounded mournfully, like torn silk, carrying deep sorrow and endless grief.

Her hands trembled and spread out weakly, as if she was searching for the meaning of life in an endless void.

"Zhuzi, drive quickly, let's go!" Yi Zhonghai shouted to He Yuzhu with a smile, and then got into the car with Liu Haizhong. Sitting in the spacious and comfortable seats, the two of them couldn't help but feel a sense of pleasure at being treated like a leader.

Yan Bugui who was standing by witnessed this scene. His usually quick-witted and intelligent mind seemed to have suddenly short-circuited at this moment. His mouth was slightly open, as if he wanted to say something but ultimately could not utter a single word.

Yu Li stood a little further away, her eyes fell on several people in the car. Her eyes seemed a little strange, and it was difficult to grasp the deep meaning behind them, as if she was silently thinking about something unknown in her heart.

Soon, He Yuzhu drove the car skillfully and smoothly brought everyone to the entrance of the famous Quanjude.

Someone asked curiously, "Are you guys still considered the masters of our courtyard now?"

Yi Zhonghai waved his hand and replied with a smile: "This title has been cancelled a long time ago, but everyone still uses the previous title out of respect."

Another person then said with emotion: "We must get together more often in the future! We can drink together at home next time. I really miss the time when we sat together and drank happily with only a plate of peanuts and a plate of pickled vegetables in front of us."

Hearing this, everyone echoed it.

"Haha, yes, it was really good at that time!"

"Yes, it's simple but happy."

At this time, someone mentioned: "I remember that Lao Liu would always bring a plate of fragrant scrambled eggs every time he came. Lao Liu is really a particular person!"

Liu Haizhong laughed heartily upon hearing this: "Haha, this is just my little hobby!"

Someone curiously asked, "Do you still eat scrambled eggs every day?"

Liu Haizhong nodded and replied: "Yes, it has become a habit over the years, and I really can't change it!"

Then, the topic turned to Yi Zhonghai: "Old Yi never comes empty-handed every time, always with bottles of good wine. Old Yi is a man who cares about his reputation after all!"

"Haha, the main thing is that you, Daqing, have meat at home so we can eat meat!" One of the old men said with a smile.

"That's right. Next time I cook pig's head, you all must come to my house to try it." Another old man responded enthusiastically.

At this time, someone else interrupted and said, "There is also Lao Xu. In our courtyard, apart from Lao He's family, Lao Xu's family lives the best life." Everyone nodded in agreement.

"Yes, I never come back empty-handed every time I go out." Xu Fugui couldn't help but sigh, "But when we were showing movies in the past, we were called the 'Eight Major Members', and that was a very special status. But now this job is not as good as before." At this point, he shook his head helplessly.

"Ah, times have changed so fast!" Everyone echoed, drinking and reminiscing about the past. Before they knew it, several of the old people were already a little drunk.

Seeing this, He Yuzhu hurriedly got up and arranged for someone to send He Daqing, Xu Fugui and others back home. Then he personally drove Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong back to the courtyard. Although there had been all kinds of grievances and hatreds, with the passage of time, everything seemed to have disappeared.

When the car slowly drove to the entrance of the alley, He Yuzhu suddenly saw a familiar figure standing on the roadside in front of him - Yu Li. He quickly stopped the car and asked, "Yu Li? What's wrong with you?"

Yu Li replied with a painful look on her face: "I sprained my ankle accidentally."

"Then we have to go to the hospital right away!" He Yuzhu said with concern.

However, Yu Li waved her hand and said, "Forget it, don't waste that money."

"No, we can't save this money!" He Yuzhu insisted, "Come on, I'll take you to the hospital. If you don't have money, I'll help you pay for it." After saying that, he helped Yu Li into the car.

The two chatted along the way, and Yu Li couldn't help complaining: "I have thoroughly experienced the stinginess of the Yan family. It's really hard for me to deal with them every day."

He Yuzhu comforted her and said, "Don't take it too seriously. If you encounter any difficulties in the future, just come to me." Just like that, the two chatted all the way to the hospital...

Yu Li lowered her head slightly, with a hint of helplessness and bitterness in her voice: "What can I do? I'm just a weak woman."

He Yuzhu, who was standing next to Yu Li, looked at her firmly and encouraged her: "You can work and make money on your own. That way, you can stand up straight when talking to others."

Yu Li sighed softly, shook her head and said, "Even Yan Jiecheng can't find a suitable job, let alone me."

The two chatted all the way to the hospital. He Yuzhu took out two yuan without hesitation to help Yu Li register, see a doctor and buy medicine. At this time, Yu Li's ankle was swollen like a big steamed bun, and she couldn't walk normally.

Seeing this, He Yuzhu bent down and picked her up without saying a word. Yu Li blushed immediately and lowered her head shyly, not daring to look at He Yuzhu.

After Yu Li was carefully placed in the car, He Yuzhu took out some money from his pocket and handed it to her, saying softly: "Take this money first, in case of emergency."

Yu Li quickly waved her hand and refused: "No, I can't take your money."

He Yuzhu insisted on putting the money into her hands: "Since I'm giving it to you, just accept it." As the two were pushing each other, some physical contact was inevitable.

Yu Li said coquettishly: "You..." Before she finished speaking, He Yuzhu suddenly leaned over and kissed her. Yu Li's eyes widened instantly, and her whole body froze there, unable to speak for a while.

After a long time, the two slowly separated. He Yuzhu looked at Yu Li and said affectionately: "After your foot injury is healed, I will arrange a job for you."

Then he added: "If you want to move out of your current place, I can also help you find a suitable house."

Yu Li raised her head, a complex emotion flashed in her eyes, she bit her lip and said, "Don't treat me like this again, I'm married."

He Yuzhu looked guilty: "Okay, I was wrong today and offended you. Please forgive me. But I couldn't help being so impulsive."

Yu Li stood there, thinking secretly in her heart.

After comparing himself with others, she felt more and more that Yan Jiecheng was like a useless waste.

It’s a pity that I haven’t divorced yet. If I do something that crosses the line at this time, it will undoubtedly be an act that goes against moral ethics.

Besides, the man in front of her named He Yuzhu was probably a married man, but even so, she did not blame him.

He Yuzhu had just agreed to the other party's request, but in the blink of an eye, he went back on his word and made a fortune.

Yu Li waited anxiously, sweat streaming down her forehead, even soaking a large area of ​​her clothes.

Finally, He Yuzhu offered to take her home, and the two said goodbye to each other when they walked to the gate of the courtyard.

He Yuzhu said softly: "I'll come see you tomorrow."

Yu Li quickly waved her hand and refused: "No, my legs and feet are not very convenient, let's wait a few days before talking." Hearing this, He Yuzhu nodded slightly to show his agreement: "Okay then."

At this moment, a pretty figure suddenly flashed out from not far away.

Yu Li took a closer look and blurted out, "Yu Haitang?" The woman looked puzzled at first, then hesitantly asked, "Who are you?"

He Yuzhu quickly introduced himself:

I am He Yuzhu." Yu Haitang suddenly realized: "Oh, I remember now, you are He Yushui's brother."

"That's me." He Yuzhu responded with a smile.

Yu Haitang looked at He Yuzhu curiously, his eyes fell on the car parked next to him, and asked in surprise: "Is this the legendary return home in glory?"

He Yuzhu nodded with a hint of pride: "Well, you can say that."

Then, Yu Haitang asked again: "Where is He Yushui now?"

He Yuzhu replied: "She is busy working."

After saying these words, Yu Haitang waved to He Yuzhu politely: "Okay, I'll take my leave first, and we'll see you later!"

Then, He Yuzhu got into the car, started the engine and drove away.

Yu Haitang looked at Yu Li suspiciously, and asked in a questioning tone: "You?" Yu Li smiled and explained: "

My legs and feet were not very convenient, so she was kind enough to drive me to the hospital."

Hearing this, Yu Haitang frowned and asked, "How come the two of you got mixed up and went together?"

As soon as these words came out, Yu Li's face flashed with displeasure, and she retorted: "Sister, what are you talking about!"

The two of them walked into the yard while arguing.

Yu Haitang waved her hand and said, "I'll just sit here for a while instead of having dinner at your house, so that your father-in-law won't come to me to ask for money later."

After saying that, he stood up and prepared to leave.

Yu Li quickly stood up to see him off and said, "Okay, ride slowly on the road."

Not long after Yu Haitang left, Yan Jiecheng returned home exhausted.

When Yu Li saw her husband for the first time, her eyes involuntarily revealed a barely perceptible trace of contemplation.

She stared quietly at his familiar yet unfamiliar face, as if trying to find the deep attachment and dependence she once had on it.

Her eyes slowly moved downwards, inadvertently wandering to his hands that had given her warmth countless times.

However, at this moment, all she saw were a few faint ripples in her eyes, which could no longer easily move her heartstrings that had been silent for so long as before.

Although she tried hard to make her expression look calm, the surging emotions in her heart, like the tide, were difficult to conceal completely.

Although she no longer loved her husband, her heart had long been lost to another man.

She thought of that wonderful man, whose voice was as sweet as a bell and whose smile was as warm as the sun.

Whenever she heard his voice, she couldn't help but feel a soft touch in her heart.

When facing her husband, she unconsciously recalled the little things between them. The sweetness and warmth of the past seemed to reappear before her eyes, but it could no longer arouse the ripples in her heart.

She tried to recall the good times they had together, but every memory stung her heart like torture.

Her breathing became light and rapid, as if the whole world was pressing on her heart.

She tried to find a bit of persistence from deep in her heart and told herself to continue living bravely.

However, she could no longer conceal the joy and desire deep in her heart.

She looked at him eagerly, expecting a caring greeting or a gentle hug from him.

However, she knew that was already a luxury.

She was no longer the only one in his eyes, but a substitute.

She smiled bitterly, but couldn't hide the pain in her heart.

She squinted her eyes, as if looking into the distance. She thought of that excellent man and imagined what it would be like when he was by her side. She couldn't help but pray secretly, hoping that one day she could throw herself into his arms without any worries and enjoy her own happiness.

She knew that she had betrayed her husband, but she could not suppress the joy and desire in her heart.

She was once a loyal wife, but when love came, she became fragile and irresistible.

At this moment, she felt heartbroken and tears welled up in her eyes.

Her voice was choked and low, as if she was telling the world about her inner struggle and pain. She heard her voice trembling, but she couldn't stop controlling it. She tried hard to cover up the contradictions and entanglements in her heart, but her true emotions still revealed themselves.

Her body trembled slightly, as if she wanted to release the sadness and pain in her heart. She knew that this affair had brought her great confusion and confusion.

But no matter what, she couldn't resist the desire and pursuit deep in her heart. She had begun to pursue her own happiness, no matter what it meant. She tried her best to calm her mind and hide the chaos in her heart.

However, she couldn't do it in front of him. Her eyes were full of charm, and her lips were slightly upturned, as if she was smiling for the love in her heart.

At this moment, her mind flew far away, fantasizing about spending happy time with that outstanding man.

She couldn't help but pray secretly, hoping that one day she could break free and protect her love. She knew that she had chosen a path that she could not turn back. No matter what the consequences were, she did not regret this choice.

Yan Jiecheng didn't notice any change in Yu Li.

"Yu Li, why are you still standing here? Go to the kitchen and help!" the man said with a frown.

Yu Li replied with difficulty: "I...I accidentally sprained my ankle." She gently rubbed her ankle. (End of this chapter)
