Siheyuan: Rebirth of a comfortable life starts with Shazhu

Even a hemp stalk can frighten both wolves.

This refers to the current situation of He Yuzhu and Liu Ting.

Liu Ting is not stupid.

She has her own judgment on many things.

Besides, having shared a bed with He Yuzhu for so many years, she probably wouldn't know who Lou Xiao'e is.

But she always knew that He Yuzhu had someone in his heart.

Otherwise, many things the He family does are quite unreasonable.

For example, why did He Daqing go to Hong Kong Island?
Where does He Yuan's luxurious life in Hong Kong Island come from?
Although her eldest daughter would never mention Lou Xiao'e in front of her, Lou Xiao'e would inevitably be mentioned when discussing things in Hong Kong.

Furthermore, some of He Yuzhu's career developments were not in the normal direction for professional advancement.

If these things happened once or twice, they might be considered accidents.

But since everything happened to He Yuzhu, it couldn't be considered an accident.

Even if Liu Ting didn't do any specific work at the wool mill, she was still a deputy section chief, and she was still a professional.

She also has some understanding of the various rules in the workplace.

Therefore, she knew very well that He Yuzhu was just the father of He Daqing, a small businessman.

Even if they hadn't been implicated by He Daqing in previous years, the He family wouldn't have had such a peaceful life.

Furthermore, where did He Yuzhu get such confidence to introduce foreign trade business to wool textile factories and other units?

····
Liu Ting had her own speculations about each and every incident.

But what can she do?
What can she do?
Should we hand over He Yuzhu?
She couldn't bear to part with it, but she wasn't that foolish.

Fang Juan serves as a cautionary tale for her.

If Fang Juan had kept Guo Lei in check back then, their marriage wouldn't be in this state now.

Although Guo Lei successfully quit drinking, his health is definitely ruined.

He's only two or three years older than He Yuzhu, but now he looks like a little old man in his sixties or seventies.

Even in terms of mental state, they are not as good as those old men.

Fang Juan said she plans to wait another two years until her son graduates from university.

That is, once Guo Lei has settled things for his son, he will apply to his superiors for early retirement.

Fang Juan was two years older than her, and her appearance, skin tone, and overall demeanor were more than ten years different from Liu Ting's.

This is the result of Fang Juan using the wrong approach with Guo Lei.

Fang Juan now deeply regrets her actions. She has complained to Liu Ting countless times that she should have been more proactive in dealing with Guo Lei's parents and older brother when she first married into the Guo family.

Fang Juan was so envious when she heard that Liu Ting and He Yuzhu were having a great married life.

When old women get together, they can be quite thuggish.

They can say anything.

If you ask Liu Ting to confront He Yuzhu and get a divorce, Liu Ting definitely won't agree.

Putting aside her feelings for He Yuzhu.

The harm that divorce would cause to the elderly and children is something Liu Ting cannot even imagine.

If she dares to bring this up, her mother will be the first to be driven mad by her.

Why not just enjoy this peaceful life instead of making things difficult?

What good outcome could there be?

And her children, whom she cares about, are all so lively now.

She had no idea what would become of these good children if she divorced He Yuzhu.

But when it came to putting Liu Ting in charge of He Yuzhu, she didn't know where to begin.

He Yuzhu is doing an excellent job at home.

He is filial to his elders, cares for his wife, and takes care of his children. In Liu Ting's eyes, her husband is perfect.

But some things, once they bother you, feel like a thorn stuck in your heart.

It hurts every now and then.
This is also why Liu Ting has been particularly irritable lately. After getting off work, He Yuzhu looked at He Yuan sitting in the back of the car without surprise.

During this period, Comrade Xiao Song went to the south.

His precious daughter then became attached to him.

According to He Yuan, she was tasked by Liu Ting to keep a close watch on He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu raised an eyebrow and said, "Yuanyuan, you go home first today."

Dad has something to do.

"What's wrong?" He Yuan asked curiously.

"Things that children shouldn't know." He Yuzhu retorted to He Yuan in an annoyed tone.

"Hmph..." He Yuan wrinkled her nose, but obediently got out of the car. She patted He Yuzhu's shoulder in a disrespectful manner and said to He Yuzhu in a pretentious tone, "Comrade He Yuzhu, you better behave and don't cause me any trouble!"

Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to explain myself to Comrade Liu Ting.

He Yuzhu slapped her, and He Yuan took off running, laughing happily as she ran.

He Yuzhu watched his eldest daughter run out of the school gate with her long legs, and chuckled to himself.

He got into the car and smiled at Lao Mo, saying, "Lao Mo, let's go to Guozi Lane."

Old Mo glanced suspiciously at He Yuzhu in the rearview mirror, but didn't say anything. Instead, he started the car and headed straight for Guozixiang.

He Yuzhu's back had recovered during this time, so he had to think of a way to quell Liu Ting's anger.

He had hidden a trump card in Guozixiang, but he wouldn't use it unless it was a matter of life and death.

Su Manyun had actually moved most of the Guozixiang area.

However, all the items she moved were antiques and paintings. There was one thing she hadn't touched, as instructed.

Aged wine!

Old wine from last year.

There are also two jars of old wine that He Yuzhu specially added ingredients to when he had nothing else to do back then.

Some of the jars were made with cat bones and Chinese medicinal herbs.

There's also a very special jar, made with that 'whip', which was prepared for Dr. Xiao by his teacher using an ancient formula when he was still alive.

It's quite different from the kind you usually see on the street.

He Yuzhu has not made a move.

After all, he has always been in good health, and his married life has been harmonious. Although it has been less frequent in recent years, it is due to his mental fatigue from being an old married couple, and has nothing to do with his physical function.

But this time, Liu Ting has been angry for over a month.

He Yuzhu felt that things couldn't continue like this; he needed to regulate Liu Ting's energy flow to make her feel better.

Therefore, He Yuzhu felt it was time to use his trump card.

I definitely can't let He Yuan know I'm going to move that kind of thing.

Otherwise, given her curious nature, she would definitely have asked the question.

When He Yuzhu arrived at Guozi Lane, he couldn't help but glance at the front gate of the courtyard. Just then, the gate opened, and a refined woman poked her head out, looking at He Yuzhu with suspicion.

He Yuzhu nodded, but did not reply.

He knew who this woman was—You Fengxia, the woman that scumbag Lao Li had cheated on.

It was He Yuzhu who arranged for this woman to settle in Beijing.

It is said that You Fengxia has indeed changed.

He lives a secluded life, taking care of Old Li's elderly mother and living off the interest from his bank savings. He has never ventured out into the world again.

This made He Yuzhu quite envious.

Look at that woman, even knowing that Lao Li has started a family and had children outside, she's still so considerate.

Unlike his tigress, who's like a tiger at home.

Therefore, all scumbags think pretty much the same way.

They all dream of having affairs outside while keeping their marriage stable at home. (End of Chapter)
