Siheyuan: Rebirth of a comfortable life starts with Shazhu

"No, those who don't have a good relationship with the boss will be the first to leave."

On the contrary, those who know nothing and only know how to freeload will probably be left until the end. He Yuzhu's words were decisive and quite certain.

"Huh? How could that be?" Ma Hua was dumbfounded.

This answer was quite different from what he had expected.

"Isn't this normal?"
In your company, those who get promoted and receive raises are all capable people.

"Or is it someone who has a good relationship with the leader?" He Yuzhu asked in surprise.

Upon hearing this, Ma Hua's mind went blank.

He finally understood what He Yuzhu meant.

"Capable people will run away on their own if they have a choice."

Those who lack ability will simply stay at the factory until the very end.

Once most of the capable employees in a factory have left, the factory is likely facing bankruptcy.

This is the significance of reform and opening up: to enable capable people to have meat to eat.

Let those who are just coasting along be unable to continue.

This process will inevitably inadvertently harm a large number of capable and honest people.

"Master, I don't have any other skills, I just don't want you to be the one who gets hurt in the crossfire." He Yuzhu rambled on, but still managed to explain everything clearly.

At noon, the He family had two tables, one for the adults and one for the children.

Of course, He Yuan and Xiao Song didn't come back; they probably went off to enjoy some alone time.

He Yuzhu couldn't care less about that, ever since he handed He Yuan's hand to Xiao Song that morning.

He Yuan is now a member of the Song family.

Grandma Wang is in good spirits and always smiling, but she doesn't have many teeth left.

He Yuzhu picked up a large piece of the stewed pork hock, which was now tender and mushy, and placed it in the old lady's bowl. He then leaned close to her ear and said loudly, "Master's wife, please eat this. You can handle this."

The old lady smiled, seemingly oblivious to He Yuzhu's words, and instead replied to him, "You little rascal, you'll be a grandfather next year, and you're still so unreliable."

My mistress said she was going to pick me up for dinner, and I thought it was something important.
As a result, the eldest daughter got married!
If I had known earlier, I definitely would have asked Stone and the others to come and help, to do my part.

The old lady's words were quite interesting. For no other reason than the He family invited the old lady and her eldest grandson over this time.

Xiao Er and Qin Jingru were not invited.

This might seem a bit impolite, but that's just how He Yuzhu is.

To put it bluntly, he disliked Qin Jingru and didn't want to have any entanglement with her.

The He family now has the right to be willful.

Why?
Knowing full well that the He family disliked the Jia family, Qin Jingru took advantage of the relationship between the Wang family and the He family to deliberately bring up the matter of locust flowers.

What do they really think she is?

This is similar to some small countries in later generations that rely on us for their livelihood. When problems arise, they always jump in and act as peacemakers, advising us to be magnanimous.

He speaks only high-sounding words, but deep down he's full of trouble.

According to Guo Taoxin, you should stay away from people like this when it's thundering, or you might get struck by lightning.

He Yuzhu's expression did not change. Instead, he continued to say with a smile, "Master's wife, I didn't accept anything from anyone when I married off my daughter. Otherwise, you can ask my third senior brother."

In my current position, I really can't afford to be concerned with those social niceties anymore.

The official rank may not be high, but the impact can be very negative.

Madam, please don't worry about it.

Eat more, I hope you live to be a hundred years old, so that we, the younger generation, can take good care of you for a few more days.

He Yuzhu didn't want to respond to the old lady's probing.

The third senior brother standing beside him smiled and said, "Master's wife, what junior brother said is right."

Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren.

You don't need to worry about us too much.

The old lady's expression remained unchanged, but she couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

She knew very well that He Yuzhu was probably really angry this time. Just his ignoring her had made Qin Jingru so anxious at home that she started crying.

She meant that she had no intention of becoming the head of the He family.

But what's the use?

Those from humble backgrounds should be aware of their circumstances.

Mingming has lived a peaceful life for so many years thanks to the He family.

Her biggest mistake was not considering things from the perspective of the He family.

The old lady wasn't actually that sad.

If she were willing to intervene, she would definitely stop Qin Jingru from coming to the He family.

But can she control this kind of thing for a while, or for a lifetime?
How many years does she have left to live?
At least the old lady knows that the He family's arrangement today shows that He Yuzhu will not forget her, nor will he neglect her eldest grandson.

As for Qin Jingru and her husband, it's not a bad thing that they suffered a loss in this matter.

This will also let Qin Jingru know her own worth and that if she offends the He family, at most they will ignore her.

But if you offend someone, then it's hard to say.

It could easily cause trouble for the Wang family.

So the old lady only said it once, and then happily enjoyed the respect and courtesy shown to her by He Yuzhu and the others.

That matter was never mentioned again.

After the old lady left, He Daqing, who had been sitting on the side with his eyes half-closed, sighed and said, "My old sister-in-law is still a discerning person."

He Yuzhu said with a smile, "It's good to be able to see clearly. Being able to see clearly means we younger generations will have more to look forward to."

May the Wang family's descendants enjoy more blessings.

If she were to point her finger at me and yell at me today, I would still smile at her.

But as time went on, that bond between master and apprentice gradually faded.

The third senior brother rode his donkey backwards very carefully, trying his best to avoid the bumpy and uneven road sections.

The old lady huddled in her blankets with her eyes closed. When they were almost at the Wang family's door, she opened her eyes and said to her third apprentice, "Third apprentice, I still have five thousand yuan."

Last time you mentioned buying a small shop, go and take the money and do it.

Don't let Xiao Er and his wife find out.

It will be placed in your name.

When Dazhuang grows up and becomes more sensible, you should tell him that.

If he's being unreasonable, you can just pay him the rent in your name every month.

Zhu Zi's suggestion was indeed for the good of the Wang family.

The old lady pointed to her beloved grandson who was running ahead and said earnestly.

The third senior brother hesitated for a moment, then nodded and agreed to the old lady's request.

He whispered, "I will ask Zhu Zi, and the other senior brothers, to be witnesses."

"If Zhuangzhuang ever needs anything urgently in the future, he can take this shop anytime."

Third Senior Brother could have chosen not to say those words.

But he still made that promise in front of the old lady.

To be honest, he also felt a little uneasy.

Originally, the two brothers shouldn't have been so estranged from the Wang family.

"I definitely believe you!" At this moment, the old lady had no symptoms of deafness and could hear very clearly.

For the sake of your children and grandchildren, you should play dumb when necessary.

When it's time to be clear-headed, then you have to be clear-headed.

The old lady handled this very well.

Just like in her private conversations with her third disciple, where she refers to herself as "mother," she's telling this disciple that her relationship with him is different from that of a master and disciple. (End of Chapter)
