The Courtyard House: He Yuzhu, Who Defied Fate

I want everything here; I'm only offering what I just mentioned.

I wonder if you'll be willing to exchange it?

Several people's eyes revealed surprise, knowing that these things were not the most valuable items in their homes; they hadn't dared to bring out the most precious things.

But to everyone's surprise, He Yuzhu was so generous, giving them 500 jin of coarse grains, 200 jin of refined grains, 100 jin of pork, and 40 bags of milk powder.

These are things that we need.

The fifth brother suppressed his excitement and then said:

"Changed!"

He Yuzhu knew that any one of these items, once sold, could be worth hundreds of times more than what he had put up.

Anything that's been hyped up here will be worth millions in the future.

Therefore, He Yuzhu didn't want to be too greedy, so he secretly added a little more.

He Yuzhu said:

"Two of you come over here. Once you see what I've prepared, if there are no problems, you can leave with the items."

If there are any problems, we'll talk about it later!

Everyone thought about it and agreed. Then, the fifth and third brothers followed He Yuzhu into the place where the things were stored.

Upon arrival, half a piece of pork was placed on a plastic sheet, along with seven bags of grain.

They were all bags weighing 100 pounds each.

He Yuzhu asked:

"Would you like to weigh it?"

The group of people could tell at a glance that there was definitely enough grain for a hundred jin.

Then they all shook their heads. The fifth brother opened the bag and tasted each one. Looking at the fifth brother's appearance, He Yuzhu recalled the process of people trading white flour in the past.

However, He Yuzhu remembered, but didn't say much. The third brother nodded to the fifth brother.

He Yuzhu said:

"Just leave your things here; you can take the food with you!"

Upon hearing He Yuzhu's words, the group quickly left with their belongings. If they were discovered, they would be torn to pieces.

After everyone had left, He Yuzhu picked up the things on the ground.

Then he left.

He Yuzhu did not go to the black market after leaving.

Instead, he went straight back, and the next day, He Yuzhu went to work as usual.

However, what He Yuzhu didn't know was that his deal had caused a huge uproar in the Manchu community.

In a remote compound, there are two or three hundred people.

An old man asked seriously:

"Fifth brother, tell everyone what happened to you!"

The fifth brother recounted his encounter with He Yuzhu and the subsequent transaction, then said:

"That's how it is. We've brought back the grain, meat, and milk powder."

The baby formula has been distributed to several families with children; the food is all here!

After the fifth brother finished speaking, the others all asked:

"Fifth Brother, do you know who that person is?"

The fifth brother shook his head:

"do not know!"

The sixth brother said:

"That person is extremely cautious. I've seen him; he's disguised. Even if you knew, you wouldn't be able to find him!"

The second son said:

"That person gave me a very dangerous feeling; he must be skilled in martial arts, and quite skilled at it."

When he faced me, I felt like I was about to die!

"Sigh, this amount of grain is indeed considerable, but with so many of us, it's just a drop in the ocean!"

The fifth brother said;

"Elder, what are your thoughts?"

The elder was silent for a moment, then asked:

"Have you agreed on when you'll make your next deal?"

Upon hearing the elder's words, the fifth brother shook his head. He didn't say anything, and I didn't ask either.

Upon hearing what the fifth brother said, the others chimed in:

"Elder, could it be that he's also out of food?"

"Yes, the things that the seven brothers took away, although they weren't anything particularly valuable, were worth much more outside."

"that is!"

……

The elder addressed the crowd:

"Alright, stop overthinking. As for whether it exists or not, Fifth Brother, you can go check out Pigeon City when you have some free time."

If you run into them, ask; if you don't, then forget about it!

The sixth brother said:

"Elder, it's probably not going to work out. Even if Fifth Brother sees him next time, he won't recognize him, because that kid's disguise skills are amazing. I almost didn't even recognize him."

If I hadn't remembered his expressionless face, I wouldn't have known it was a human skin mask!

Everyone was quite surprised to hear what the sixth brother said:

"What, a human skin mask? Wasn't that technique lost to time?"

"It's been lost here; it's lost because others haven't seen it!"

The clan elder waved his hand:

"Alright, now that we have food, we can't just eat whatever we want."

We should eat less, just enough to survive, and wait until this period is over!

Although everyone wanted to eat more, they knew the elder was right; if they ate too much now, it would be a bad situation.

There won't be any food left then, and if everyone doesn't help each other, my whole family will probably starve to death!

The elder said to the fifth son:

"Fifth brother, you have done a great service this time. If it were in the past, you would definitely be rewarded with gold and silver jewelry."

But these aren't worth much now. However, you can open our family treasure vault and choose something you like.

However, that's the only one you can have. If you can find that person again and exchange them for this grain, I'll give you another credit.

The fifth brother said very excitedly:

"Thank you, elder!"

Seeing the excited Old Su, the others just smiled and remained silent.

The clan elder said:

"Alright, it's getting late, everyone go and rest. Mingting, go do what you need to do."

But family matters can't be discussed carelessly. If I find out, I'll punish anyone who tells others about our affairs.

Then don't blame me for being impolite. I mean what I say. These things are the foundation for the continuation of our family!

As long as we can work together to overcome this crisis.

Then our family will surely rise again!

Upon hearing the elder's words, everyone nodded and remained silent, knowing that these people were the backbone of the clan.

He was naturally aware of the family's domineering nature.

Despite having so many members, this family has absolutely no human touch.

It's all about the family's interests.

So no one dared to go out and talk about it. If they did, they probably wouldn't even know where they were buried tomorrow.

There are more than one such family in the capital, but they all keep a very low profile.

The clan elder, seeing that everyone knew what was going on, waved his hand:

"Alright, put everything in the kitchen. We'll have something nice to eat tomorrow. Now go home!"
