The Courtyard House: He Yuzhu, Who Defied Fate

Chapter 137: Preparing to Rent Out the House

He Yuzhu heard Song Ziyu's words and then nodded:

"Okay, then I'll make the decision. By the way, is everything in that room packed up?"

Song Ziyu said:

"We have everything here. We just brought our luggage and pots and pans. As for the bed, table, wardrobe and other furniture, we left them over there."

We have enough furniture here; bringing it back would just be for chopping firewood. If the renter doesn't need it, we'll bring it back.

If you need to use it, just leave it there!

He Yuzhu thought about it and agreed, then said:

"Okay, where's the key?"

Song Ziyu slapped his forehead:

"Look at my brain, this is the key to the main house, and this is the key to the concubine's room."

After saying that, he handed the key to He Yuzhu, who took the key and then left with the property certificate.

Riding his bicycle, he first arrived at the courtyard house and saw He Yuzhu had returned. Yan Bugui, who hadn't started school yet, stopped He Yuzhu directly.

"Pillar, pillar, wait, wait!"

He Yuzhu stopped, looked at Yan Bugui, and then asked curiously:

"Third Uncle, what is it?"

Yan Bugui looked at He Yuzhu and then asked:

"Your dad and the others moved away, did you know?"

He Yuzhu nodded:

"I know, I'm just back to look at houses, what's wrong?"

Yan Bugui asked:

"What, you're moving back?"

He Yuzhu said:

"Let's see! Is there anything else, Uncle? If not, I'll go back and check on the house first!"

Upon hearing He Yuzhu's words, Yan Bugui assumed that He Yuzhu wanted to move back in, so he let He Yuzhu leave.

You should know that He Yuzhu's income is much higher than He Daqing's, and He Daqing is of the same generation as you, so you can't use your seniority to bully He Daqing.

However, He Yuzhu is different. Although his income is impressive, he is still a junior.

Besides, with so much money, I can just take a little bit and that will be enough for me to eat.

He Yuzhu never expected Yan Bugui to think that way. He Yuzhu's refusal to tell the truth was because he didn't want to sign a contract with anyone in the compound.

If this house is rented to anyone in the compound, it's likely we won't be able to get it back.

So He Yuzhu opened the door, looked at the house, and examined it carefully. There was nothing left in the house; everything that needed to be taken had been taken.

If there's anything hidden there, He Daqing would definitely know, since he bought the house.

I checked the other room as well, but there was nothing there.

He Yuzhu locked the door and was about to leave when an older woman saw him come out and asked curiously:

"Zhu Zi, where did your dad and the others go?"

He Yuzhu didn't elaborate, but instead said:

"I'm not staying here anymore! Ma'am, I have some things to do, I'll be back later!"

After saying that, he hurriedly pushed his bicycle away. At this moment, Yan Bugui asked:

"Auntie, what did Zhuzi just say?"

The older woman didn't understand either, and said:

"He didn't say much, just that he had something to do and would be back in a bit!"

Upon hearing what the older woman said, Yan Bugui shrewdly remarked:

"Looks like I was right, Pillar is coming back!"

Upon hearing Yan Bugui's words, the old lady was quite surprised. After He Yuzhu became successful, the old lady, the old man, and the deaf old lady all knew that He Yuzhu would never come back.

After all, He Yuzhu knew that someone was plotting against him here. He wasn't struggling to survive; on the contrary, he was doing quite well. Why would he come back?

Thinking about this, the older woman asked curiously:

"Third Uncle, how did you know?"

Yan Bugui smiled mysteriously, and then said:

"You don't need to know that, just wait and see!"

The older woman was also a little skeptical, but looking at Yan Bugui's confident expression, it didn't seem fake.

If He Yuzhu comes back, the old lady is still looking forward to it, after all, He Yuzhu is the most outstanding person in the whole compound.

As for the other residents, they were also very much looking forward to it. You know, He Yuzhu is an engineer. In the steel rolling mill, even the factory director has to curry favor with He Yuzhu. When the time comes, it will be just a matter of He Yuzhu arranging jobs for whomever he wants.

These people think the same way, and they discuss it the same way.

"It would be wonderful if Zhuzi were back. My husband said that even the factory manager treats Zhuzi with great respect!"

"That's right, I heard that Zhu Zi is an engineer!"

“That’s right, just have Zhu Zi arrange a job for us, wouldn’t that be a piece of cake?”

"That's right, the factory manager is very polite to you. If He Yuzhu wanted to arrange a job for you, it wouldn't be a problem at all!"

"That's right! As long as I have a job, I'll have an urban household registration, and then we'll be able to get grain rations!"

"That's right, as long as you have a job, you can get government-subsidized food rations!"

Jia Zhangshi, who was watching the commotion from inside the house, also heard the discussion and came out to ask:

"Really? Are you telling the truth?"

Everyone said:

"Of course it's true. You can't be unaware of the Jia Zhangshi affair, can you?"

Seeing everyone's expressions, Jia Zhangshi was also indignant. Although she didn't know the truth, she didn't want to embarrass herself.

"How could I not know? But jobs are so hard to find these days, especially for women. Even men have a hard time finding work, let alone women!"

An older woman said:

"What's wrong with women? There are plenty of women working these days. Do you think we're all like you, lazy and unwilling to do any work!"

Jia Zhangshi said proudly:

"I have a son to support me, do you? Humph, my daughter-in-law is filial, do you?"

Besides, our family is in such dire straits. If we're going to help someone, we should help them first. I heard everything just now. He Yuzhu will be back in a bit.

I'll ask him to arrange a job for our daughter-in-law, and then our whole family will have urban residency.

Then there will be plenty of commercial grain! Humph!

Upon hearing Jia Zhangshi's words, an older woman mocked:

"How could that be? Jia Zhangshi, you're just daydreaming. Given the relationship between your family and the He family, He Yuzhu would never help you, no matter who he's on!"

Just give up on this idea! "

"Exactly, what a pipe dream!"

Jia Zhangshi shouted loudly:

“So what if we don’t get along? We’re still neighbors, and our family is in such a difficult situation. He should help us. Otherwise, he’s heartless and has no compassion!”

With her sharp tongue, Jia Zhangshi could start a fight on all sides. Qin Huairu could tell from Jia Zhangshi's appearance that her mother-in-law was being unreasonable again.

If Jia Dongxu were to handle this matter, there might be a slight chance of success, but if his incompetent mother-in-law, Jia Zhangshi, were to handle it, it would be a different story.

That was a 100% doomed situation, but judging from her mother-in-law's expression, she definitely wanted to handle the matter herself.

That means once He Yuzhu returns, the whole thing will definitely fall through.

Qin Huairu sighed. What a great opportunity, ruined by her own brainless mother-in-law.

Regardless of what the people in the courtyard were thinking, He Yuzhu went directly to the street office.

This was He Yuzhu's first time at the subdistrict office; before, he would go to the military control commission to handle any matters.

Now that military control has been lifted, the local government has begun to manage the entire city.

Currently, the management of courtyard houses is mostly handled by the neighborhood committees.

When He Yuzhu arrived at the subdistrict office, a man approached him and asked:

"Hello, comrade, how can I help you?"
