Siheyuan: Rebirth of a comfortable life starts with Shazhu

There are many things our family does that outsiders can't understand.

Just like this time.

Our country just announced reform and opening up, and welcomes foreign investment to set up factories and cooperate with us.

Logically speaking, it's best to ensure the stability of our surroundings as much as possible.

It's just like an ordinary person opening a new shop.

A bunch of thugs came to extort money from them.

The key point is that everyone knows these thugs came to extort money at the behest of a large business in the same industry next door.

They'd love for these thugs to hold our family back, and ideally, to bankrupt our business.

According to business people, the best course of action is to maintain harmony, swallow one's anger, and give those thugs some benefits.

Once the business is on track and I have some free time, I'll figure out a way to teach those thugs and underhanded competitors a lesson.

No family can achieve both economic development and military training simultaneously.

But our family did it.

This not only got rid of the monkeys, but also got our neighbors tied up, and ended up making them dig a hole and bury themselves.

Without immense political wisdom, none of this could have been accomplished.

No matter how serious He Yuzhu's family affairs were, they couldn't compare to the importance of this matter.

He felt quite proud to be able to participate in such an important event.

Of course, He Yuzhu also firmly believed, in discussions with certain people, that those things would not affect our reform and opening up.

As long as we use the ferocity of a lion hunting a rabbit to give those things a quick, accurate, and ruthless attack.

When faced with important matters, personal feelings must be put aside.

However, Liu Ting finally understood why He Yuzhu insisted on letting He Yuan get married to Xiao Song last year, even if it meant wronging his own daughter.

If they hadn't gotten married last year, the Song family really wouldn't have had time this year.

Therefore, Liu Ting's gaze towards He Yuzhu has been strange lately.

She remembered He Yuzhu talking about that long dream.

She had initially been somewhat skeptical, but now she had no doubts whatsoever.

These kinds of things are predictable.

Aside from believing He Yuzhu's statement, the only other possibility is that He Yuzhu personally experienced it.

The hype surrounding rebirth and time travel hasn't really taken off yet.

Therefore, Liu Ting could only believe that her man had indeed dreamed about these things.

There is no other explanation.

"...Tsk tsk tsk, you don't know, the old lady's matter is not yet finished."

Qin Jingru then pulled the waiter aside and started calculating the bills, revealing exactly how much each family had spent, her expression making it all crystal clear.

Fortunately, I listened to you, and we went with a round number.

Otherwise, I doubt they would have given me a friendly look. Liu Ting was clearing away the dishes when she casually told He Yuzhu about the events of the past two days, including the arrangements for the old lady's funeral.

The He family was quite generous with the condolence money this time, offering a thousand directly.

He should be the one who has produced the most disciples.

Of course, the third senior brother and his group should know this.

The He family spent so much money because they wanted to give the old lady one last dignified moment.

The He family and the Wang family will no longer be able to maintain such a deep relationship.

The rainwater family went to six hundred, which is roughly the same thing.

According to Liu Ting, Qin Jingru saw that the two families had spent so much money.

He actually smiled in front of many people.

That emotion was definitely inappropriate in that situation.

This also made many neighbors who had helped in the past, as well as the apprentices, feel a chill in their hearts.

True filial piety is shown during one's lifetime.

He Yuzhu also knew that Qin Jingru had treated the old lady quite well when she was alive.

She's slightly better than the average daughter-in-law.

He never complained about taking care of her needs, even her bodily functions. Therefore, he didn't intend to criticize Qin Jingru for anything in this regard.

But the so-called funeral is originally meant to be a show for the living.

Qin Jingru's actions during the old lady's funeral were certainly unsettling.

The waiter's performance was also not good enough; he was quite pitiful, as if his bones had been removed.

He knelt before the old woman, wailing and crying, and hadn't eaten or drunk anything for three or four days.

If it weren't for his third senior brother getting some glucose powder and forcing him to drink a packet, Xiao Er might have collapsed in the mourning hall.

But some argue that such filial piety is not respectable enough to impress others.

Therefore, no matter what a person does in this world, there will always be people gossiping.

However, the second son's performance earned unanimous praise from everyone present.

That child cries his heart out when he needs to.

He has always had feelings for his grandmother.

When it came to handling matters later, the child followed his third senior uncle and followed each procedure in a proper, polite and respectful manner.

This is the kind of role that ordinary families believe someone can shoulder the heavy responsibilities of the household.

He Yuzhu emotionally accepts Xiao Er.

But in real life, he also praised Xiao Er's son.

"...From now on, it all depends on that child! I hope he won't end up like his mother, and that he'll have a broader perspective."

Then we uncles can help out a little more.

"It's all thanks to the favors our master left behind back then." He Yuzhu sighed, adding that he had shed tears when Wang Furong left.

His sadness at that time was genuine.

But this time, even though he was in a meeting, the old lady left that night.

He felt a little sad, but not that upset.

It just feels like something's missing.

If he were really to go see the old lady off, he would probably have to prepare onions or ginger in his sleeves.

There's nothing we can do; as we get older, the things that can move us become fewer and fewer without us even realizing it.

"By the way, when do you think Xiao Song will be back?"

Is he in danger?
"And Yuanyuan, she's lost a lot of weight these past few days from the rain." Liu Ting kept rambling on, probably having already mentioned the same topic several times.

She didn't want it to be like this, but if He Yuzhu just sat there in a daze, it made her feel uneasy.

It's as if He Yuzhu is no longer on the same level as her.

Even though it was the man who slept next to her every day, He Yuzhu's every inch of his body was crystal clear to her.

But she just feels a little unfamiliar with it now.

This has led to Liu Ting exhibiting some people-pleasing behavior towards He Yuzhu recently.

He Yuzhu shook his head and said in a deep voice, "They should be fine."

If something happens to their workplace, then the problem will be serious.

We are the kings of light infantry, and even the monkeys were trained by us.

This time, we are still its ancestors.

Although He Yuzhu had some concerns, he still spoke with great confidence and high spirits in front of Liu Ting.

He knew very well what we were going to encounter.

At first, there will definitely be some discomfort and problems due to outdated technology.

However, we have a psychological advantage when facing foreign enemies.

Because since the founding of the new nation, it has never lost.

No matter how powerful the opponent, we will crush them with ease.

This is the source of He Yuzhu's confidence.

This generation grew up alongside the country and has the strongest confidence in the military.

Even if He Yuzhu knew some of what happened later.

But that couldn't change his self-confidence. (End of Chapter)
