Siheyuan: Rebirth of a comfortable life starts with Shazhu

Comrade Xiao Song left while suppressing a laugh.

He couldn't help but laugh; he usually thought He Yuzhu was quite dignified.

Unexpectedly, in front of the woman, this father-in-law changed his tune, becoming subservient and extremely humble.

The key point is that he had seen this kind of behavior not only with Lou Xiao'e, but also in front of Liu Ting. It seemed that his father-in-law didn't have much face either.

That's the one who got punished.

For example, after Liu Ting returned from the south, she gave He Yuzhu a beating.

There's no other reason; lately, the fourth child has been eating and writing with his left hand at home.

When asked why, he said it was because He Yuzhu had trained him too hard.

One time when the fourth son wasn't home, Liu Ting gave He Yuzhu a severe beating.

It just so happened that Xiao Song, who was on his way to curry favor with his father-in-law, ran into them.

In fact, Xiao Song knew that his youngest brother-in-law was deliberately trying to frame He Yuzhu.

Just a few days ago, Xiao Song took his brother-in-law and sister-in-law to see an exclusive movie. The little rascal was having a blast, and he had no problems with either hand.

But he put on an act in front of Liu Ting, and Liu Ting, as his mother, naturally felt sorry for her son.

Although she thought He Yuzhu was right to train the fourth child, she also felt that He Yuzhu was too harsh by starting with such a high intensity.

It's as if his son isn't his own.

That time, Xiao Song was at the gate of the He family's house when he heard He Yuzhu howling and screaming as he was being punished.

To be honest, Xiao Song was quite envious.

The warm, homely atmosphere of the He family is something the Song family lacks.

His parents always maintained a serious and dignified demeanor in front of his brothers.

I rarely have any psychological communication with them, let alone talk about the father and son sabotaging each other.

It would never happen in his house.

Fortunately, when Xiao Song was a child, his family still lived in a compound.

There were many families of similar social standing to his father there, and many children of the same age as them. With people to share and play with, Xiao Song's mentality did not become distorted.

That's why it's said that people from wealthy and powerful families are more prone to becoming abnormal.

One is the high pressure from a wealthy family, not just a temporary pressure, but a pressure that has been there since childhood.

Another point is that it's out of touch with reality.

Parents like Xiao Song's, how could they possibly have time to play with their child?

This can cause a child's personality to develop a darker side from a young age.

The Song family had actually discussed the matter of He Yuzhu having two wives.

However, their conclusions differed greatly from those of outsiders.

Some people may look down on He Yuzhu, but the Song family does not.

According to Grandpa Song, if He Yuzhu hadn't arranged for Lou Xiao'e and her daughter to leave, they would most likely be dead by now.

This perception seems to be similar to that of some intelligent people in Hong Kong.

But the Song family saw things differently.

They see things more deeply.

Because before the storm, all sorts of undercurrents already existed.

Given the Song family's background, it would be easy to find out what the Lou family did during the Liberation period.

Regarding Lou Bancheng's decision to split the family in two, according to Old Master Song, "Why not kill this kind of person and keep him around for the New Year?"

Like reeds in the wind, no matter how kind and tolerant society is to such families, if any social changes occur, these people will be the first to jump out and betray them. Therefore, Lou Bancheng's decision to take that step already sealed the fate of his family.

Regardless of whether Lou Bancheng performs meritorious service or makes mistakes later, the outcome will not change.

The fact that He Yuzhu arranged for Lou Xiao'e and her daughter to go out shows that He Yuzhu had foresight and, at such a young age, had already seen through the truth of many things.

Grandpa Song had a very good impression of He Yuzhu, believing him to be a kind and righteous person who had plans for the future.

Meanwhile, He Yuzhu was huddled on the sofa with a bitter expression, wondering if he should say goodbye to Lou Xiao'e and go home first.

"Go, go take a shower." Lou Xiao'e hadn't recovered from her earlier emotions. Instead, she pulled a silk nightgown out of her suitcase and threw it at He Yuzhu, her words quite forceful.

Judging from the fact that she was carrying He Yuzhu's pajamas with her, it can be deduced that He Yuzhu wouldn't be able to leave today.

He Yuzhu was still thinking of making a show of strength, so he tossed his pajamas aside, coughed, and was about to speak.

"What? You want me to scrub your back?" Lou Xiao'e glared at her with almond-shaped eyes, her expression becoming somewhat seductive.

"No, it seems there's no hot water in the hotel bathroom here?" He Yuzhu swallowed hard, his earlier bravado completely gone.

He doesn't know why either?
It could be a debt of gratitude, or it could be a lingering attachment from a past life.

Anyway, when it came to Lou Xiao'e, he just couldn't be tough, nor could he muster the courage to say no.

"A while ago, I had Xiao Su invest some money in this hotel to install an indoor bathroom."

This time, our group might have to stay here for a few more days to have a proper talk with the higher-ups.

There are also some gifts for a successful start to the year, all of which need to be discussed and implemented.

For example, Mr. Huo is planning to build a high-end hotel in the south.

"Hey, what gift should I give to the higher-ups?" Lou Xiao'e explained the reason for the changes to the hotel, which were made in preparation for the Hong Kong businessmen's visit to Beijing.

Although she was talking about serious matters, her words sounded like a married couple discussing everyday matters.

As she spoke, she pulled He Yuzhu into the bathroom.

Shower, hot and cold water, bathtub, flush toilet... it has everything, somewhat like a modern budget hotel.

He Yuzhu saw the trademark and nameplate on these sanitary ware items: ~He Tai Sanitary Ware.

He Yuzhu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

"These are all our own products, which I specially transported from Hong Kong Island."

I have permanently reserved this entire floor.

"When Xinghua comes back, and Yuanyuan is a little older, the two siblings will have a place to stay when they come back." Lou Xiao'e said as she came over to help He Yuzhu take off his clothes.

He Yuzhu quickly grabbed his belt and said, "Isn't this inappropriate?"

Doesn't it look a bit like... well, you know... during the day?

"Are you going to wash or not?" Lou Xiao'e threw the towel into the bathtub and started to get angry again.

Actually, she didn't know why she had such a bad temper.

When she attended the luncheon with Ho Yu-chu just now, I really felt that she was Ho Yu-chu's wife, and that the couple were hosting their Hong Kong colleagues.

Emerging from that atmosphere, Lou Xiao'e felt a sense of loss.

Especially considering He Yuzhu's timid and hesitant demeanor just now, she knew very well what He Yuzhu wanted to say to her.

This made her feel a pang of sadness, a sense of loss as if she had been abandoned.

She was rich, good-looking, virtuous, and gave birth to two outstanding children for He Yuzhu.

She no longer wants to compete with Liu Ting for ownership of He Yuzhu.

Even when they were together occasionally, He Yuzhu still kept in mind how the other person felt.

It's understandable that Lou Xiao'e would lose her temper. (End of Chapter)
