Siheyuan: Rebirth of a comfortable life starts with Shazhu

As soon as He Yuzhu entered the gate, he saw Liu Ting crying as if he had died. He couldn't help but panic and quickly went up to hug his wife, gently comforting her.

"No, don't cry! I'm back now, why are you crying?" He Yuzhu said in a flustered manner.

His wife used to weigh less than 100 pounds. Back then, when He Yuzhu hugged her, Liu Ting would stiffen up and obediently snuggle into his arms.

Liu Ting is only 120 centimeters tall, but she is as big and fat as a pig during the Chinese New Year. She has broad shoulders and a strong body. With a slight twist of her body, she broke free from He Yuzhu's embrace.

I can't hold it down!

To be honest, He Yuzhu is also exhausted right now.

He really hoped Liu Ting could be gentler and stop causing trouble.

"Where have you been these past few days?" Liu Ting stared blankly at He Yuzhu and asked, her eyes filled with resentment.

He Yuzhu's lips trembled slightly, and he almost blurted out that he had gone to Hong Kong.

Fortunately, He Yuzhu reacted quickly and realized that Liu Ting was probably asking about what happened after he returned to Beijing.

He placed his hands on his wife's shoulders, leaned close to her, and whispered a place name.

These words were more effective than a tranquilizer for Liu Ting. Liu Ting immediately quieted down and looked at He Yuzhu with disbelief.

He Yuzhu had been to that place before. Most of the time, they would call him, and he would go there dressed neatly to report on his work.

The time spent going there was less than the time spent preparing at home.

But this time, He Yuzhu was gone for a whole week and didn't call back even once, which is definitely unusual.

However, Liu Ting finally breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing that He Yuzhu had gone there.

That makes sense.

That's why He Yuan and Xiao Song couldn't find out about He Yuzhu's situation after they went there.

With He Yuzhu away from home these past few days, things are bound to be chaotic at home.

Liu Ting had argued with He Yuan and Xiao Song several times.

At a time like this, she couldn't possibly reason with her daughter and prospective son-in-law.

The key issue is that Xiao Song's grandfather definitely knows where He Yuzhu went.

But he couldn't say anything to Xiao Song.

Comrade Lao Song is, after all, a retired comrade.

The information he knows must not be passed on from his mouth.

This also reflects the older generation's clear distinction between public and private matters.

What Liu Ting didn't know was that He Yuzhu was the one being questioned repeatedly by a group of people at the beginning, and his mind was not relaxed at all at that time.

I really didn't think to call home.

Later, he didn't know how to explain it when he called home.

He wasn't sure if Liu Ting knew about his trip to Hong Kong.

So I just kept going.

He Yuzhu had many discussions with like-minded people.

Of course, there are things that can be said and things that are too early to say now.

He had also thought about it.

Moreover, He Yuzhu was unaware of the specific details of many events in later generations; he only knew what he had heard.

All he could say was that he seized the opportunity to express some of his concerns.

that is it.

That's pretty good.

That is, he was in a position where he had this opportunity.

Ordinary people, no matter how advanced their understanding.

Without the opportunity, he could only become Kanye West on the streets.

At most, he can only boast to those old men in the park and gain a few followers.

If it weren't for all of He Yuzhu's previous achievements, which had already proven his excellence...

So when He Yuzhu does something equally unbelievable, people take it seriously.

And if others try to do it, the best outcome is that nobody pays attention. That's just how it is.

"Okay, okay, I'm fine now."

"From now on, our family can live a peaceful life." He Yuzhu pushed Liu Ting into the bedroom, then picked up his wife and comforted her in his arms.

"Are you really alright?" Liu Ting asked uncertainly.

"It's really alright!" Even though He Yuzhu knew that what he was saying to his wife was nonsense, he was still quite serious.

Only then did Liu Ting truly feel at ease.

However, she still clung to He Yuzhu and refused to get off.

She buried her face in He Yuzhu's arms, letting him pat her back and hum some unknown nursery rhymes as if he were coaxing a child.

Under He Yuzhu's gentle coaxing, Liu Ting actually started snoring softly.

It's easy to imagine that Liu Ting was under a lot of pressure during the time He Yuzhu was missing.

That's normal. When Liu Ting first learned that He Yuzhu had lost his job as principal, she hated him to the core.

She even considered that if she couldn't explain things clearly when He Yuzhu came home, she might choose to break up with him.

Not for her own feelings, but for the sake of her child, she wouldn't allow the whole family to take the risk with He Yuzhu.

But when He Yuzhu had been missing for four or five days and Xiao Song and He Yuan couldn't find him, she started to panic.

All the hatred and resentment she felt couldn't compare to her desire for He Yuzhu to appear before her safely.

Even if He Yuzhu brings his lover back this time, as long as He Yuzhu is alright, she doesn't plan to cause any more trouble with him.

This was Liu Ting's true thought before He Yuzhu appeared.

Of course, this would be a scenario where He Yuzhu actually leads Lou Xiao'e into the house.

Liu Ting will still go crazy if she's going to.

No woman can calmly accept that kind of thing.

Liu Ting loves He Yuzhu, so deep down she is willing to compromise with him appropriately.

But that kind of love isn't without any bottom line.

Just like when He Yuzhu came back this time, Liu Ting will most likely no longer care about his possible extramarital affairs.

As long as He Yuzhu doesn't bring those feelings home, she can pretend she doesn't know anything.

The couple didn't talk about this, but they seemed to have a perfect understanding.

Not only Liu Ting, but He Yuzhu also had a bottom line in his heart.

Although others may think that He Yuzhu is rather hypocritical in his emotions.

But he was truly determined to ensure that the two women would never have the chance to meet again.

At least until his death, he would not mention Lou Xiao'e to Liu Ting.

Protect the one you love and let her experience small moments of happiness.

This is all He Yuzhu can do now.

He Yuzhu put Liu Ting on the bed, and Liu Ting was startled awake the moment he pulled his hand away.

He Yuzhu was so frightened that he dared not move again.

He could only have one arm pinned down by Liu Ting, his whole body tilted to one side on the bed, watching Liu Ting sleep.

So, men are destined for a hard life.

If you want to enjoy the blessings of having multiple wives, you have to put in more effort.

When he goes to Hong Kong Island, he has to appease his wife, children, and mother-in-law.

Even at home, he still has to go through this...
He Yuzhu didn't even have time to tell Liu Ting that he would be able to receive an extra salary.

He is now a researcher in a research lab.

"Mom, Mom..." the fourth son's hoarse voice rang out.

"What are you yelling about?"
"Your mom's tired, she's sleeping." As soon as the fourth son pushed open the bedroom door, He Yuzhu scolded him in a low voice.

The fourth brother was startled when he heard He Yuzhu's voice. (End of Chapter)
