Siheyuan: Rebirth of a comfortable life starts with Shazhu

After more than forty hours of trekking, He Yuzhu once again smelled the crisp, cool air unique to Beijing.

He stood in the carriage aisle, gazing at the chilly view outside the window, and couldn't help but rub his aching lower back.

He was in a sleeper berth, so he could rest comfortably.

But the thought of seeing his wife soon made him feel a slight pain in his lower back.

The last time Lou Xiao'e came to Beijing, he drank medicinal wine for more than a week in order to appease Liu Ting.

This time, he even lost his position as principal because of Lou Xiao'e.

Based on this calculation, he'll probably have to drink medicinal wine for half a year to make up for his wife's mistake.

Thinking about that scene, He Yuzhu felt a little excited, a little thrilled, and also a little back pain.

After all, his trip to Hong Kong Island was exhausting, and he didn't get to enjoy any of the good things.

Even when he's sleeping, his chubby daughter treats him like a horse and gives him a good beating.

Lou Xiao'e even had to be used as a pillow.

During the day, I have to think of ways to make my mother-in-law, wife, and children happy.

In the evening, he has to show his responsibility as a father and husband.

It was so tough.

Lou Xiao'e wasn't inconsiderate of him.

One night when they were going to bed, she teased He Yuzhu in a lewd manner.

Then, seeing that He Yuzhu was still furious, she whispered a suggestion in his ear.

In other words, it's about finding someone to calm He Yuzhu down.

And she is also a star in the Hong Kong entertainment industry.

But when He Yuzhu heard Lou Xiao'e mention several names in succession, he didn't hear any female celebrities he recognized, so he righteously rejected his 'wife's' thoughtfulness.

He Yuzhu felt wronged. It wasn't that he was thinking with his lower body, but it would be a happy thing to be able to meet those goddesses on the screen from his previous life.

But he didn't realize that most of the goddesses he knew only became famous in the 1980s and 90s, and were popular across the Taiwan Strait.

Or maybe it's some people from Taiwan, who are still singing and making art films.

These are definitely inappropriate.

It wasn't that there weren't any familiar names; for example, the White Snake, who would later become a household name in mainland China, was already quite famous in Hong Kong at that time.

But they got married.

Even if Lou Xiao'e felt sorry for He Yuzhu, she wouldn't do such a thing.

There was another female celebrity surnamed Wang, whom He Yuzhu also knew, but he felt nothing for her.

There was no other reason; the images He Yuzhu remembered were all taken by that person when they were older.

So even though she's in the prime of her youth, in He Yuzhu's mind, she's already a madam.

What he didn't know was that Lou Xiao'e was actually testing him by mentioning those people's names.

Although Lou Xiao'e has some connection to the entertainment industry and knows who those people are, why would she arrange any outstanding competitors for herself?

Even a little nurse like He Daqing has given her quite a hard time.

If He Yuzhu were to bring another female celebrity along, Lou Xiao'e would completely break down.

He Yuzhu held the line, and Lou Xiao'e was very satisfied.

But He Yuzhu was indeed wronged.

This is also the tragedy of adult men.

Before having a wife, finding one was extremely difficult.

Once he got a wife, he felt like all the beautiful women in the world were secretly flirting with him.

As He Yuzhu was lost in thought, the train pulled into that brightly lit, magnificent city.

What He Yuzhu didn't know was that his friend Lao Lu had truly gone to great lengths this time.

Upon returning to Beijing, he immediately submitted the investigation report written by He Yuzhu.

The higher-ups also attached great importance to this, holding a meeting that lasted for several hours to discuss He Yuzhu's investigation report, and sending copies to various leaders who were knowledgeable in economics. Therefore, at the Beijing train station at this time, besides He Yuan and her husband, who were sent by Liu Ting to pick them up, the only other people waiting at the station entrance were...

Another public bus drove directly into the station.

When the train arrived at the station, He Yuan stood outside the station, holding a sign with He Yuzhu's name on it, looking rather silly.

She would also occasionally stand on tiptoe to look at the crowd pouring out of the station.

Xiao Song, who was standing behind her, looked at his bewildered girlfriend and couldn't help but remind her, "Yuanyuan, do you think Uncle He knows you?"

He Yuan rolled her eyes dramatically and said, "Of course, how could my dad not recognize me?"

"Then why did you write a sign?" Xiao Song asked casually.

"Huh?!..." He Yuan was dumbfounded.

She just saw someone else writing it and casually copied what they wrote.
But I never imagined that the other person might be picking up a stranger.

She, on the other hand, was here to pick up her biological father.

"Why didn't you say so earlier!" He Yuan said coquettishly, and kicked Xiao Song's shin.

"Ouch..." It hurt, but Xiao Song still had to put on a smile and explain to He Yuan, "I just didn't have time."

"Hmph..." He Yuan snorted coldly, not wanting to pay any attention to this annoying person.

But after a while, instead of turning around, she asked with a slightly flushed face, "Does it hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt at all," Xiao Song quickly replied obsequiously, flashing a bright white smile.

"Silly girl..."

As the young couple flirted, the travelers from the south gradually dispersed.

But He Yuzhu still didn't show up.

When no one was left at the exit, He Yuan started to panic.

Xiao Song quickly reassured him, "Don't worry, don't worry, I'll go ask over there."

After Xiao Song asked the station attendant, he returned to He Yuan with a strange expression and said, "Uncle He has been picked up by someone else."

"Who?" He Yuan exclaimed in shock.

She had also heard rumors that her father might be targeted.

She wasn't qualified to know these things because of her position, but Xiao Song was.

Even if Xiao Song isn't qualified, his grandfather is.

With the Song and He families about to become related by marriage, naturally someone would tell He Yuzhu's family about his changes.

However, Grandpa Song is an old hand at this. After hearing about the arrangements made for He Yuzhu, he knew that the higher-ups still valued He Yuzhu.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be such a mild and ineffective punishment.

But the He family had come from humble beginnings, and when the news reached Liu Ting's ears, it terrified her.

This also made He Yuan and the others nervous.

"Don't worry! I checked the license plate, it's..."

"Maybe it's a good thing for Uncle He." Xiao Song quickly grabbed He Yuan's hand and told her what he had found out.

Otherwise, he was afraid that his girlfriend would smash a hole in the cement in the square.

When the young couple returned to the He family home, they told Liu Ting what had happened.

This made Liu Ting feel anxious and uncertain.

Xiao Song couldn't be sure that the car that picked up He Yuzhu definitely came from there.

So, was He Yuzhu called in because he made a mistake, or was it for something else...?
Nobody knows for sure right now.

It took a whole week, a full week, for He Yuzhu to be driven to his doorstep in a car.

When He Yuzhu took his luggage and pushed open the door of his house.

Liu Ting, who was numbly wiping the table, looked towards He Yuzhu at the sound of the noise, and in an instant, tears streamed down her face... (End of this chapter)
