The Courtyard House: He Yuzhu, Who Defied Fate

"Isn't Xiaodi pregnant? Why is she still going to work?"

Chen Xueru said:

"I've told her this several times, but she won't listen. She says she's not very pregnant and it won't interfere with her work!"

He Yuzhu thought for a moment and said:

"Whatever, let her be. As long as she's happy!"

He Yuzhu doesn't have any macho ideas; he just wants his woman to be happy.

The next day, He Yuzhu took the day off and rode his bicycle back to Mao'er Hutong.

Upon arriving home, He Yuzhu asked Song Ziyu:

"Aunt Song, I've been so busy lately. Why didn't you stay longer over there?"

Song Ziyu said:

"I go there during the day and have to come back at night, otherwise your dad will be worried if he doesn't know where we went!"

He Yuzhu said:

"Okay, once I'm done with my work, I'll definitely make meat for Qingqing, okay!"

He Yuqing was also very sensible, knowing that He Yuzhu, like her father, had to go to work, and then nodded:

"Okay, Qingqing, we'll make it when Guoguo isn't busy anymore. Guoguo has to go to work and earn money to buy Youyou for Qingqing!"

He Yuzhu happily kissed He Yuqing:

"Qingqing is so smart!"

He Yuqing knew that He Yuzhu was praising her, and she chuckled.

He Yuzhu teased his younger sister for a while, then asked Song Ziyu:

"Aunt Song, my dad said he wants to see me. What's up?"

Song Ziyu said:

"It's all because of that house in Nanluoguxiang. Yi Zhonghai has gone to the steel mill several times, wanting to buy that house with your father."

Or you could exchange it for his house, but would your dad be willing to do that?

However, Yi Zhonghai always goes to your father, and your father says you have the final say on the house!

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

"Didn't I already say that the house is reserved for Qingqing and is not for sale?"

Besides, that was the main house; how could he have the audacity to say he traded it for his own side room?

Song Ziyu said:

"That's what I thought too, but he kept going to your dad with no other choice, so your dad had to come to you!"

Hearing Song Ziyu's words, He Yuzhu didn't know what was going on, but still said:

"By the way, did Yi Zhonghai come to work today?"

Song Ziyu shook his head:

"I don't know, but judging from the dates, he should be off today, since your father went out to prepare a banquet."

I heard the steel rolling mill is closed today!

Upon hearing Song Ziyu's words, He Yuzhu said to Song Ziyu:

"Aunt Song, you stay home. I'm going back to check on things. I want to see what Yi Zhonghai is up to."

After saying that, He Yuzhu rode his bicycle to the courtyard house in Nanluoguxiang.

Upon arriving at the courtyard house, we saw the door god Yan Bugui standing guard at the entrance.

He Yuzhu jokingly said:

"Oh my, Uncle San is still on guard duty. If you ask me, the neighborhood committee should award you the title of People's Guardian."

Look, look, how dedicated they are!

Upon hearing He Yuzhu's words, Yan Bugui excitedly said:

"Really?"

He Yuzhu shrugged:

"I don't know if it's true or not, because I can't make that decision myself. You should apply to the neighborhood director yourself!"

Upon hearing He Yuzhu's words, Yan Bugui knew that He Yuzhu was using him as a scapegoat again.

Yan Bugui said unhappily:

“Hey Zhuzi, I know you’ve studied a lot, but you can’t just come back and have your third uncle beat you up, can you?”

He Yuzhu said with a smile:

"It's only because of you, Uncle San. I wouldn't even bother to beat up anyone else!"

Yan Bugui was very pleased to hear He Yuzhu's words, after all, the current He Yuzhu was not the same as the He Yuzhu of the past.

He Yuzhu is quite successful now, but Yan Bugui still asked:

What brings you back this time?

He Yuzhu said:

“I heard from the neighborhood office that my house hadn’t been rented out yet, so I came back and saw it. You know, our house is top-notch in terms of size, orientation, layout, and rent.”

How could it not be rented out? I came back to check what's going on!

Upon hearing He Yuzhu's words, Yan Bugui looked at Yi Zhonghai's house, hesitant to speak, but remained silent. In Yan Bugui's mind, it was no use trying to please He Yuzhu now.

After all, He Yuzhu's house was going to be rented out, and Yi Zhonghai had his eye on it.

After He Yuzhu leaves, I will get nothing and will also offend Yi Zhonghai.

He Yuzhu knew he wouldn't do something like that; it would be too much of a loss. Looking at Yan Bugui's eyes, he knew that Yi Zhonghai must be behind it all.

....... ....... 0

He Yuzhu did not expose Yan Bugui, but only said:

"Uncle, you go ahead with your work, I'll go check on the Intermediate People's Court!"

He Yuzhu then pushed his bicycle to the Intermediate People's Court. Upon arriving, Yi Zhonghai, hearing the noise, pretended to come out, looked at He Yuzhu, and then said to him:

"Zhu Zi, you're back?"

He Yuzhu nodded:

"Yes, I'm back. I came to see you, but when I came over, I heard from the people at the steel mill that you were off today, so I came back."

I heard from my dad that you want our house?

Yi Zhonghai smiled and said:

"It's not about wanting, it's about buying. If you don't want the money, we can exchange it!"

He Yuzhu waved his hand:

"Uncle, did Auntie convey what I said last time to you clearly?"

I've already spoken to the older woman; this house isn't for sale, not for anyone. It's reserved for my younger sister.

"And you have a side room in your house, and you want to trade it for the main house? What were you thinking? Even if you added five or eight hundred more, I wouldn't sell!"

Hearing He Yuzhu's words, he was stunned. What? He had to pay an extra 500 or 800 to exchange his own house for this? Wasn't he being ripped off?

Yi Zhonghai said:

"No, we're neighbors, it's not good to keep talking about money!"

He Yuzhu interrupted Yi Zhonghai and then said:

"Uncle, don't bother with this. Talking about feelings is a waste of money. If the relationship is broken, it's broken."

After all, we're just neighbors, and we're not that close, so it doesn't matter whether we're together or not!

But this is a house, by the way, do I need to talk to you about this? I almost fell into your generation gap again.

I told you, no matter what, I'm not selling this house!

Upon hearing He Yuzhu's words, Yi Zhonghai was extremely annoyed. He had originally planned to provoke He Yuzhu so that he could get his hands on the house.

Unexpectedly, He Yuzhu reacted so quickly, but Yi Zhonghai still said;

"You and your father are so capable, who knows what your status will be in twenty years."

Then you can buy another house for your sister!

He Yuzhu said to Yi Zhonghai:

"Master Yi, do you believe this after hearing it? You probably don't, do you?"

Putting aside whether I have the money to buy a house, even if I did, is now the right time to buy one?

Then He Yuzhu continued speaking to Yi Zhonghai:
