The Courtyard House: He Yuzhu, Who Defied Fate

Page 11

He said to He Yuzhu:

"Silly Zhu, you're back?"

He Yuzhu ignored Yi Zhonghai and was preparing to apply paste to paste the couplets when Yi Zhonghai walked over and said impatiently to He Yuzhu:

"Silly Zhu, didn't you hear me talking to you?"

He Yuzhu pretended to be taken aback, then asked:

"Are you talking to me?"

Yi Zhonghai said irritably:

"If I don't talk to you, who else can I talk to? Is there anyone else in this compound named Sha Zhu?"

He Yuzhu slapped his forehead and then said:

“Look at this, no one ever scolds me when I'm out here, but now that I'm back, people are scolding me. I'm not used to it yet.”

"By the way, what's up?"

Yi Zhonghai was taken aback, then said loudly:

"If someone insulted you, I'll just say hello. I didn't insult you!"

Upon hearing Yi Zhonghai's words, He Yuzhu said:

"Oh, is that so? Well, old man, what do you want with me?"

Upon hearing this, Yi Zhonghai angrily said:

"Silly Zhu, what's wrong with you these days? Why are you swearing?"

He Yuzhu put down the couplet and then said:

"Hey, what are you saying? If you call me Sha Zhu, it's a greeting, but if I call you Sha Da Ye, it's an insult."

"You can't act like that, can you?"

Upon hearing He Yuzhu's words, Yi Zhonghai was taken aback, not expecting He Yuzhu to say such a thing.

But thinking about it, nobody wants to be called a fool.

Yi Zhonghai also said:

"I'm sorry, I just started calling you that because your dad calls you that."

I won't call you that anymore!

He Yuzhu then said:

"Uncle, I'm now the head of the household. My dad doesn't want us anymore. You can't just come here and call me an idiot, can you?"

"That's only because of you! If it were anyone else, I would have slapped them across the face!"

Upon hearing He Yuzhu's words, Yi Zhonghai knew that He Yuzhu was a bit of a troublemaker, but Yi Zhonghai wasn't someone who easily showed his emotions.

Although Yi Zhonghai was very angry, he still spoke very kindly:

"I'll be more careful next time. I'll talk to the people in the compound about it!"

He Yuzhu nodded:

"Then I'll have to trouble you, sir. By the way, what can I do for you?"

Yi Zhonghai asked:

"Are you back for the New Year, or...?"

He Yuzhu explained:

"No, it's almost Chinese New Year, and I haven't prepared anything at home. I'm planning to spend the New Year at Hongbinlou Restaurant."

But this is my home too, so it needs to be tidied up, right?

I'll tidy up a bit, and then go back with Yu!

Upon hearing He Yuzhu's words, Yi Zhonghai nodded. After all, He Yuzhu had no money on him right now, and if he came back, he couldn't just ignore him.

Hearing that He Yuzhu wasn't coming back, Yi Zhonghai breathed a sigh of relief, but still said:

"I see. Then Zhu Zi must listen to his master and learn his skills well over there."

With a skill, I can make a good living in the future!

Chapter Fourteen: Leaving the Courtyard

Seeing Yi Zhonghai's hypocrisy, He Yuzhu couldn't bring himself to turn against him, since he didn't care what Yi Zhonghai was really thinking.

But I still say:

"Okay, thank you, sir. I will definitely study hard. By the way, is there anything else, sir?"

No one has been home for so long, and there's no way to cook. I need to finish cleaning quickly so I can go back and have a meal.

If we get back late, we'll go hungry again!

Hearing He Yuzhu's words, Yi Zhonghai was secretly pleased. "I'll make you go hungry. If you don't go hungry, how am I supposed to brainwash you?"

However, Yi Zhonghai didn't say that; instead, he nodded.

"Okay, then you get back to work!"

He Yuzhu breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Yi Zhonghai leave. After all, if Yi Zhonghai had kept an eye on him, he would have been in deep trouble.

What He Yuzhu didn't know was that Yi Zhonghai had already set his sights on him. Yi Zhonghai was not like Yan Bugui; Yan Bugui would only scheme against people if he couldn't succeed at the time.

Yi Zhonghai, on the other hand, was aiming to scheme against others' entire lives.

They are completely different now. Of course, even if He Yuzhu knew this, it wouldn't matter.

It's only 1950 now, and we'll soon be entering 1951. Moreover, Yi Zhonghai is now focusing all his energy on Jia Dongxu.

As for He Yuzhu, he's just a backup plan. Scheming against He Yuzhu now is nothing more than the deaf old lady's idea; she's just a pawn.

Of course, the deaf old lady wasn't scheming against He Yuzhu; she genuinely wanted what was best for him.

You should know that the deaf old lady wanted He Yuzhu to get married, wanted He Yuzhu to have children, and wanted He Yuzhu to live a good life.

It might not be good for others, but it was really good for He Yuzhu.

In the original story, an older woman served the deaf old lady for the rest of her life, from 1950 to 1973, for more than 20 years.

Even though the stones had been warmed up, the deaf old lady still gave the house to He Yuzhu when she died.

As for He Yuzhu, he only occasionally cooked for the deaf old lady and carried her for walks.

What happened before is not explained, but since Jia Dongxu died, He Yuzhu gave all his things to Qin Huairu and not a single thing to the deaf old lady.

However, the deaf old lady still cared about Sha Zhu and was very biased towards He Yuzhu.

The deaf old lady asked Yi Zhonghai to scheme against He Yuzhu, but it was actually for He Yuzhu's sake.

Because the deaf old lady knew that Yi Zhonghai had no children, she thought it would be good if He Yuzhu could take care of Yi Zhonghai in his old age.

So everything Yi Zhonghai owns belongs to He Yuzhu, and Yi Zhonghai also has craftsmanship.

The salary wasn't low either. He Yuzhu didn't have to do anything; he just needed to be a little filial to get everything from Yi Zhonghai.

Commonly known as "eating up the family fortune".

However, the deaf old lady did not expect that her carefully planned scheme by He Yuzhu would end up with Qin Huairu stealing her home.

Indeed, the deaf old lady's house was given to He Yuzhu, and Yi Zhonghai successfully got He Yuzhu to take care of him in his old age, but in the end, it benefited Qin Huairu.

Of course, this is the original work.

The current He Yuzhu is not the same He Yuzhu as before. You should know that the original He Yuzhu was a person of modern society.

I've seen all kinds of beautiful women and all kinds of tricks.

Moreover, He Yuzhu knew that no matter how capable others were or how powerful their backers were, they were not as capable as he was.

Moreover, the country has only been established for a few years now, and there are still more than ten years until the beginning of the story.

Besides, I'm only fifteen years old, there's still time for everything. I'm still young, and being young means anything is possible.

After He Yuzhu finished setting up the house, he shouted:

"Rain, rain!"

beep, beep...

He Yu came running over with her short legs:

"elder brother!"

He Yu's face was flushed from playing. He Yuzhu said:
