The Courtyard House: He Yuzhu, Who Defied Fate

Then he said to He Yuzhu:

"Zhu Zi, can I talk to you about something?"

He Yuzhu asked:

"whats the matter?"

Yi Zhonghai paused for a moment, then said:

"I want you to take care of me in my old age!"

He Yuzhu's expression changed, and then he said:

"What are you thinking? Besides, I don't have time!"

Yi Zhonghai said:

"Listen to me first. If you take care of me in my old age, my current house and my mother's house will both be yours."

My salary, pension, and my family's allowance are all at your disposal.

As long as you…

He Yuzhu waved his hand, indicating that he would consider it if there were no cheat codes.

He Yuzhu is not short of houses now, nor is he short of Yi Zhonghai's money.

"Uncle, with your qualifications, it would be too easy for you to find someone to take care of you in this whole compound."

Whether it's your third uncle's children, your second uncle's children, or anyone else, they can all provide for your old age.

You don't need to come looking for me, I can't manage!

Upon hearing He Yuzhu's words, Yi Zhonghai was extremely disappointed, knowing that this was all he had in the open.

Moreover, He Yuzhu has the best conditions, and what I hope for most is that He Yuzhu will take care of me in my old age.

He Yuzhu refused without even thinking.

Yan Bugui also heard Yi Zhonghai's words at this moment and said to Yi Zhonghai:

"Old Yi, are you serious? If you really have two houses, there's also your salary and pension."

I can have one of my three sons take care of you in your old age!

Thinking of the Yan family's scheming ways, Yi Zhonghai was extremely unwilling to let them take care of him in his old age.

Then I'll starve to death. After all, what I want is a good retirement life, not to live a life of constant calculation.

He Daqing used to have a very clear view of how He Yuzhu's family ate.

Moreover, He Yuzhu's wife had visited before and was clearly not short of money, so Yi Zhonghai still didn't want the Yan family to provide for his retirement.

At this moment, Liu Haizhong said:

"Old Yi, if you don't like the three sons of the Yan family, then choose one of Guangtian and Guangfu."

But I want half of it!

Upon hearing Liu Haizhong's words, Yi Zhonghai's face darkened even more. It should be noted that Liu Guangtian was the only successful member of Liu Haizhong's family.

He graduated from high school, while his two remaining children are still in junior high and elementary school.

I heard his grades aren't very good, and he gets beaten up every day; he doesn't seem very bright.

While Yi Zhonghai remained silent, He Yuzhu said:

"Uncle, since you've put it that way, let me tell you something too. Aren't you worried that you won't be taken care of in your old age?"

Aren't you just worried that if you get everything, your retirement life won't be good? That you won't have any security?

Yi Zhonghai heard He Yuzhu's words and then nodded:

"That's right!"

Yi Zhonghai was too embarrassed to say it, but since He Yuzhu brought it up, he readily agreed.

He Yuzhu said:

"You can sign a contract and transfer your spouse to your household registration so that they become your legal son, without having to change their name."

Therefore, legally, you must be provided with old-age care; that's the first point.

Then you write a contract with all your ideas: how many new clothes a year, how many times a week to eat meat, how many meals a day, and that you and the old lady don't have to pay for medical treatment.

But write down how to take care of someone when they are sick, how long to accompany them each month when they are old, and any other requirements you can think of.

If you do all of that, after you die, your house and the old lady's house will both belong to him.

If you fail to do so, then the contract is void, and your house and property are donated to an orphanage or something similar.

That's up to you. Anyway, you'll only give up what you have when you die.

You can support yourself now, you have no problems, and you don't need anyone else to take care of you.

While you're still able to work and have some dignity, you should properly train your new caregiver.

Moreover, everything was agreed upon in advance. You know your elders will take care of you in your old age, and you want to live a good life in the future.

So while you're still able to do it, take good care of him.

Make him even better, so that when he earns money, he can fulfill your requirements.

If he's not doing well and has no money, even if you kill him, he still can't do what you ask, right?

Yi Zhonghai asked:

"What if I train him, but he doesn't want my money, my house, or even support me in my old age?"

He Yuzhu was stunned when he heard Yi Zhonghai's words. He hadn't expected that Yi Zhonghai would think so much about his retirement.

I really hadn't thought of this, but there have been many different interpretations of it in later generations.

Anyway, it's not his business, let whoever wants to take it, take it, He Yuzhu said:

"That's simple. As long as you breach the contract, if you have evidence, the elderly person will not only not get what you have, but will also have to pay you dozens of times the amount in compensation."

It's that simple. For example, your contract might include two houses, as well as your pension and retirement funds.

This house isn't worth much now; let's say two houses are worth a thousand dollars each. Your total salary and pension are ten thousand dollars.

The compensation will be calculated at 30 times the amount, which is 303,000 for every 11,000.

Anyway, once the money is paid and the contract is signed, and then it's notarized by the government, if they're going to provide for your retirement, then everything will be done.

Then you won't have to pay compensation; not only will you not have to pay compensation, but all your assets will belong to the other party.

If they won't provide for your retirement, then they'll have to pay compensation according to the contract!

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

"If we breach the contract, won't we go bankrupt?"

Everyone else nodded:

"Yes!"

"They lost way too much money!"

……

He Yuzhu said:

"You're thinking like that. He's looking for someone who can support him in his old age, not someone who's after his house and money."

If you take good care of the old man in his old age, you won't have to pay compensation, and all these things will be yours.

After all, the original intention was to find someone to take care of us in our old age, wasn't it?

If you're here with the intention of ripping off this old man and taking his house, then don't sign this contract!

Besides, if you really follow the contract, even if an old man wanted to cause you trouble, he wouldn't be able to find you.

You've followed the contract, and the old man has no proof. After all, such proof requires concrete evidence.

It's not like an old man saying, "If it's not there, it's not there; the government won't allow it!"

After hearing He Yuzhu's words, everyone agreed that he was right.

“That’s right, Zhu Zi is right. If you’re after someone’s money and house and don’t provide for their old age, you should pay them back!”

"Yes, if you take care of someone in their old age, even an old man can't sue you!"

"Exactly! And the contract clearly states what needs to be done; just follow the contract!"

……

Hearing the crowd's discussion, He Yuzhu said to Yi Zhonghai:

"Uncle, please consider my suggestion. I can't do it; I don't have time."

I have my father and my stepmother. My father is getting old, and I will have to take care of Qingqing in the future.

After all, my father won't be able to take care of Qingqing and my two children by then.

Moreover, my wife only has one child, and I also have to support my parents-in-law.

Besides, there's my master. His children are all unfilial and ignore him.
