The Courtyard House: He Yuzhu, Who Defied Fate

"Over a hundred! How are we going to spend that much money?"

"Even if we ate meat every day, we still wouldn't have enough money to spend!"

"That's right, the He family is living a good life now. Not only does the whole family have urban residency, but..."

Moreover, He Daqing and He Yuzhu are both employees.

He Daqing is a third-level cook, and his monthly salary is seventy-one yuan and fifty cents.

Add to that He Yuzhu's salary of over a hundred yuan, wow, this family is going to be rich!

Hearing the conversation, Jia Zhangshi's eyes turned red with jealousy.

Back then, you could get a city residency permit for just a few hundred thousand yuan.

However, at that time, Jia Zhangshi thought there was too much money and refused to spend it, and at that time, things were not rationed.

So it doesn't matter whether you have a city household registration or not.

He Daqing directly granted that country girl an urban household registration.

Unexpectedly, after this year's reforms, there is no quota for rural residents, and those without urban household registration simply cannot buy grain.

Besides her son, no one else in her family had an urban household registration, so the child was registered under the mother's name.

Bang Geng and Xiao Dang are both from rural areas, as are Qin Huairu and herself.

Moreover, it's no longer possible to obtain rural household registration now.

To obtain urban residency, the first requirement is to have a formal job in the city.

In that case, the employer will issue a letter of introduction, and the local street office will grant the applicant an urban household registration.

Secondly, there is the reward of making meritorious contributions. Making great contributions will earn you urban residency and a job.

Third, there's the college entrance exam, which is essentially the same as getting a job.

In this era, as long as you are a college student, you will have a job. Not to mention college students, even vocational school graduates and junior college graduates will be assigned jobs.

Jia Zhangshi said in a sarcastic tone:

"Hmph, you people are just idle and have nothing better to do. What does it matter to you how well other people are doing? Have they given you a single penny?"

Upon hearing what had happened at home, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Fu family was not going to tolerate Jia Zhangshi:

“Jia Zhangshi, we didn’t shamelessly try to steal food from others, and we even got beaten up.”

We're willing to discuss this, what's it to you!

You should know that the woman from the Fu family is very low-key in the courtyard, but her husband is a director at the meat processing plant.

In the entire compound, only the He family and the Fu family had no shortage of meat, and several of the Fu family's children had joined the army.

If he dared to make a scene with the women of the Fu family, he would definitely be kicked out of the neighborhood.

Because there was one instance where, if Jia Dongxu and Yi Zhonghai hadn't gone to great lengths to plead their case, the Fu family would have been sent back by Jia Zhangshi long ago.

From then on, whenever the women of the Fu family argued with Jia Zhangshi, Jia Zhangshi had no choice but to obediently endure it.

In fact, the women of the Fu family knew that as long as something had nothing to do with them, they would not get involved no matter how outrageous it was.

But you can't let them bully you.

In the capital, these people say they value face very much; they would rather lose anything than lose face.

Just as everyone was about to start arguing, Yan Jiecheng ran to the Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill.

After registering, Yan Jiecheng was about to run to the kitchen when he ran into Yi Zhonghai, who stopped him.

"Jiecheng, where are you going? Why are you rushing off like that!"

Yan Jiecheng did not hide anything:

"I went to find Uncle He Daqing. He Yuzhu came back and asked me to come and see Uncle He. It seems to be about discussing the wedding."

Okay, I won't say any more to you, I'm going to find Uncle He!

Yan Jiecheng didn't mention the five cents incident. In Yan Jiecheng's mind, nothing was more important than money.

Upon hearing Yan Jiecheng's words, Yi Zhonghai felt as if struck by lightning.

He Yuzhu didn't die; he came back and even got married.

What's even more outrageous is that, during casual conversations with He Daqing, Yi Zhonghai mentioned more than once that he had given the living expenses He Daqing provided to the two of them.

But they haven't given us a single penny yet. What will we do if people find out?

Yi Zhonghai was extremely flustered, wondering if he would be sentenced. "No, I have to go back and check."

"We need to get this under control," Yi Zhonghai said, then went straight to the workshop director without even going to the restroom.

"Director, I have an urgent matter at home and I would like to ask for leave to go back home. Is that alright?"

The workshop director knew that Yi Zhonghai was usually very conscientious in his work, and this evaluation...

There were three Grade 8 workers, seventeen Grade 7 workers, and fifty-four Grade 6 workers, including Yi Zhonghai.

With Yi Zhonghai's skills from last time, I believe he will be able to advance to level seven in no time.

Therefore, the workshop director was willing to give Yi Zhonghai this face.

Yi Zhonghai said with great gratitude:

"Thank you, Director. I'll be going now if there's nothing else!"

While working, Jia Dongxu chatted with his coworkers:

"What's wrong with Master Yi?"

Jia Dongxu said:

"I don't know either, I'll go ask!"

After saying that, he stopped the machine and then went to ask the workshop foreman:

"Director, hello. I'd like to ask, what happened to my master? What's wrong?"

The workshop foreman had a very good impression of Jia Dongxu, explaining:

"I don't know either, but it seems to be something that happened in the compound. Your master is fine!"

Upon hearing that it was about a courtyard house, Jia Dongxu thought of his unreasonable and ridiculous mother.

It's probably some trivial matter again, and I won't be able to help much when I get back.

They would handle it if their own master could, and each time he would favor his own family.

Jia Dongxu was no longer worried and went to concentrate on his work!

If He Yuzhu were here, he would never believe that someone like Jia Dongxu could have died in an accident.

Because Xia Dongxu's operation was so standardized, He Daqing heard Yan Jiecheng's words, spoke to the kitchen staff, and then rode his bicycle back home.

However, they also took Yan Jiecheng with them. On the way, they ran into Yi Zhonghai. Just as Yi Zhonghai was about to speak, He Daqing ran off without even saying goodbye!

Yi Zhonghai sighed and quickened his pace...

Chapter 101: Exposing Yi Zhonghai

When He Daqing brought Yan Jiecheng back to the courtyard, He Yuzhu was talking to the people in the courtyard.

Looking at He Yuzhu, Jia Zhangshi felt extremely jealous.

I never expected He Yuzhu to be so capable; it's only been a few years since he last came back.

From the winter of 1950 to the summer of 1955, it has only been four and a half years.

He Yuzhu is so amazing! Not only that, but he also found such a good-looking partner.

I heard that he was a top student from the Imperial University of Beijing. Although Jia Zhangshi spoke with a hint of sarcasm, she knew that college students were rare talents.

Moreover, they were all assigned jobs. Qin Huairu looked at Yang Xiaodi with great jealousy. You know, before Yang Xiaodi came, she was the most beautiful daughter-in-law in this compound.

However, compared to Yang Xiaodi, Qin Huairu is simply no match now.

With an exotic face, large eyes, and a high nose bridge, her scholarly air was impossible to conceal.

Not to mention, that outfit was clearly very fashionable.

Her skin was fair, and her figure was unparalleled.

Qin Huairu was very jealous, but she knew her place in the family.

So he didn't say anything. If he angered Jia Zhangshi, he figured he would get another beating and scolding when Jia Dongxu wasn't home.

He Yuzhu never looked at Qin Huairu, a mother of two, from beginning to end. He didn't know why the original owner of this body was so infatuated with her.

While He Yuzhu, Yan Bugui, the third aunt, the second aunt, and other people in the compound who were not at work were chatting.

He Daqing walked in and asked He Yuzhu;

"Zhu Zi, why are you back?"

He Yuzhu said:

"Dad, you're back? Well, I've been assigned a job, haven't I?"
