The Courtyard House: He Yuzhu, Who Defied Fate

Song Ziyu knew that strange people were frequently visiting He Yuzhu's house.

It's just that they were all killed, which is why Song Ziyu is worried.

He Yuzhu said with a smile:

"With so many deaths, anyone who still goes is probably out of their mind!"

Moreover, because Gu Zhi Qiu carried out a large-scale arrest of these enemy agents, many of them went into hiding.

He Yuzhu was not involved in anything, and he found other enemy agents by following various traces left in their daily lives.

He Yuzhu knew about this, but remained silent.

At this moment, Song Ziyu said:

"Oh right, I forgot to tell you, your dad asked if you're going to Liu Guangqi's wedding in the courtyard house."

Hearing Song Ziyu's words, He Yuzhu was taken aback, then asked:

"When?"

Song Ziyu said:

"Sunday is when everyone is resting!"

He Yuzhu said:

"Yes, Liu Haizhong went to my wedding too. I have to go to his son's wedding!"

After He Yuzhu finished speaking, Song Ziyu said:

"Just like your father said, you should go too!"

He Yuzhu nodded:

"That's right, I'm going too!"

Song Ziyu asked:

How much money did you give as a gift?

He Yuzhu said:

"When I got married, Liu Haizhong gave me five yuan as a wedding gift, so I'll give him ten yuan this time."

"It's not a big deal, my dad'll just have him give five yuan!"

He Yuzhu didn't care about this; after all, ten yuan was a huge gift.

In this era, only a minority of people give such large gifts, but He Yuzhu's monthly salary is only a little over two hundred.

With all the rewards he's received over the past two years, ten yuan is really not much for He Yuzhu.

However, He Yuzhu would lose face if he gave only five yuan as a gift.

So He Yuzhu thought about it and decided to give the gift anyway.

Moreover, marriage is a once-in-a-lifetime event, so He Yuzhu did not plan to give more money as a wedding gift.

I don't intend to give less as a gift.

Song Ziyu nodded:

"Okay, ten yuan is plenty!"

He Yuzhu looked at the coal and said:

"Aunt Song, everything's done here, I'm going back now!"

Song Ziyu nodded:

"Okay, please!"

He Yuzhu nodded and left. After driving back, he went to work.

On Sunday, He Yuzhu got up early and asked Yang Xiaodi:

"Xiao Di, are you going?"

Yang Xiaodi waved his hand:

"I'm not going. There are no good people in that compound. I won't go and cause trouble. I'll stay home and rest!"

He Yuzhu nodded, then told his family what to do, and drove to Mao'er Hutong.

After picking up He Daqing, the two went to the courtyard house.

Upon arriving at the courtyard house, everyone inside got busy.

Yan Bugui saw He Daqing and He Yuzhu and said to them:

"The Qing Dynasty and Zhu Zi are here!"

He Yuzhu said:

"On such a joyous day, I can't not come. I missed your son's wedding before, but now that I know, how can I not come?"

I'm so sorry that no one notified me when your son attended the wedding last time. I'll make it up to you when your grandson is born!

Hearing He Yuzhu's words, Yan Bugui was much happier, because He Daqing had attended Yan Jiecheng's wedding last time.

He Yuzhu didn't come before, but he did this time. He Yuzhu explained the situation, and what Yan Bugui thought was none of his business.

I saw Yan Bugui sitting on the table, with a gift list on it.

He Daqing asked with a smile:

"Hey, it's you again, Lao Yan, taking down the gift list?"

Yan Bugui nodded smugly:

"That's right, I'm the only one in the compound who writes well!"

Liu Guangqi stepped forward, smiling, and said:

"Uncle He and Zhu Zi are here! Please come in!"

He Daqing said:

"Wait a minute, Zhu Zi and I will write a gift, and then we'll go in!"

Upon hearing He Daqing's words, Liu Guangqi smiled broadly.

"Then I'll have to trouble Uncle He and Zhu Zi!"

He Daqing took out five yuan and handed it to Yan Bugui. Yan Bugui wrote it down: He Daqing, five yuan.

He Yuzhu took out ten yuan and handed it to Yan Bugui, who also wrote "He Yuzhu, Ten Yuan" on the note.

Seeing the two give gifts, Liu Guangqi was even happier, considering the entire courtyard was filled with them.

Even Yi Zhonghai only gave a five-yuan gift, while He Yuzhu and He Daqing, who were two people, gave fifteen yuan each.

This is a huge windfall! Liu Guangqi led the two into the backyard. When they reached the middle courtyard, everyone helped with cooking and chopping vegetables.

Upon seeing He Yuzhu and He Daqing, the people from the Intermediate People's Court greeted He Yuzhu.

Only Jia Zhangshi was very unwilling.

When Yi Zhonghai saw the two return, he was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said:

"Daqing, Zhuzi, you two are back too?"

He Yuzhu nodded:

"Yes, it's Second Uncle's eldest son's wedding, we absolutely have to come!"

Hearing He Yuzhu's words, Yi Zhonghai was even happier, and then tentatively said:

"Our compound is so harmonious now, do you want to come back and live here?"

He Yuzhu shook his head:

"Forget it, the house is already rented out, and besides, we signed a twenty-year contract. There's nowhere to go if we come back, so we're not coming back!"

Seeing He Yuzhu's firm refusal, Yi Zhonghai was also in a bad mood. However, today was the wedding of Liu Guangqi, the eldest son of Liu Haizhong.

If I were to cause trouble with He Yuzhu now, Liu Haizhong would probably become my sworn enemy in the future.

But if we don't tell him now, He Yuzhu will never come back.

At this moment, Jia Zhangshi said in a sarcastic tone:

"That's right, they're successful now, why would they come to our little, run-down place!"

He Yuzhu looked at the sarcastic Jia Zhangshi, then nodded:

"That's right, this place is too small, so we're not going back here!"

Upon hearing He Yuzhu's words, Jia Zhangshi was nearly driven mad with anger.

Is this Versailles?

Looking at the furious Jia Zhangshi, He Yuzhu thought to himself, "If I came back now, would I be driven to my death by this old hag?"
