The Courtyard House: He Yuzhu, Who Defied Fate

As people age, their bodily functions decline, and they will eventually die.

I told you in advance!

Gu Zhi Qiu said:

"I know that. Do you think I don't know it without you reminding me?"

But you're really willing to give up these two prescriptions!

He Yuzhu said:

"How could I not be willing to part with it? But it's quite troublesome to make. If I'm going to make it public, it would be best to get a patent certificate from the government!"

Gu Zhi Qiu was taken aback, then asked:

What is a patent certificate?

He Yuzhu explained:

"Patent, literally, means exclusive rights and interests. Our country does not have a patent law."

However, with the development of our country, there will definitely be a patent law. I'm worried that someone will apply for a patent on my things, and then they won't be mine anymore.

But I know they don't have it now, they're just giving me a certificate. Once they do, it will still be mine, understand?

Gu Zhi Qiu nodded:

"I kind of understand, but what's the use of this?"

He Yuzhu said helplessly:

"It's useless now, but it will be useful later. Once there's a patent law, I won't be able to use the things I create myself."

"You'll be laughed at if you go!"

Gu Zhiqi asked:

"What is the purpose of patent law?"

He Yuzhu said:

"Patents are exclusive rights and interests, and interests are the key point. Currently, our country has a system of unified purchase and sales."

But our country can't stay like this forever. Sooner or later, as our country develops, it will come into line with international standards.

We can't let the government do everything; otherwise, there won't be many inventions or innovations.

Our country is currently experiencing a shortage of supplies, so this is the right thing to do, as it ensures the basic living needs of everyone.

But one day, our country will develop to the point where all kinds of resources will be superfluous, and everyone will be able to eat their fill and stay warm.

There's still so much stuff I can't digest, what should I do?

Was there still a unified purchase and distribution system at that time? Impossible. At that point, our country would have moved from a unified purchase and distribution system to macro-control and micro-level autonomy.

When the time comes, all these things will generate profits, and it won't matter if everyone uses them. But I'm worried that they will be exploited by people with ulterior motives who will prevent people from using them and then claim them as their own.

Therefore, this must be stopped!

Hearing He Yuzhu's words, Gu Zhi Qiu patted He Yuzhu:

"Are you running a fever? How could that be? Don't you know how many people are starving to death outside right now?"

We're still well-fed and clothed; we're lucky if we have any food to eat these days!

He Yuzhu heard Gu Zhiqi's words and then said:

"Old Gu, it's like this now, but will it always be like this? Impossible."

Our country will definitely develop in the future. I'm just planning ahead. You can help me with that!

Gu Zhi Qiu nodded:

"Okay, I'll write the date on the original, stamp it, and then take the photocopy with me, okay? Isn't that proof that this thing is yours?"

"That's easy!"

Hearing Gu Zhi Qiu's words, He Yu Zhu nodded:

"Yes, that's what it means!"

Gu Zhiqi dated it, stamped it with the official seal, and handed the original to He Yuzhu.

Then say:

"Thanks! I didn't expect you to be so insightful. I should have asked you for it sooner. I'm sorry you wasted so much time making this pill!"

He Yuzhu said:

"I'll make it for the housekeeper, and everyone else can make it for them. The housekeeper's health can't be delayed any longer!"

Gu Zhi Qiu nodded:

"I understand, I get it!"

After saying that, he grabbed the things and ran away.

Watching Gu Zhiqi leave, He Yuzhu didn't continue working. Instead, he answered Tang Jianjun and Yu Qingyao's questions.

He left without going home, because he hadn't visited his master for several months.

He Yuzhu drove home and planned to ride his bicycle to visit his master, since he was always driving and was running out of gas.

It's not good to always apply for gasoline from the government, since He Yuzhu's car is quite fuel-inefficient.

He Yuzhu told his family, then took some meat and rode away on his bicycle.

Soon, they arrived at Tian Zehua's home.

Tian Zehua wasn't home; only his teacher's wife, Yu Hui, was there. He Yuzhu looked at Yu Hui and said to her:

"Teacher's wife!"

Looking at He Yuzhu, Yu Hui was very happy, and then said to He Yuzhu:

"Zhu Zi, you're here?"

He Yuzhu nodded:

"I've finally finished being busy lately, so I had some time to visit you both. Master, are you both doing well?"

Yu Hui nodded happily:

"Okay, okay, everything's fine. You just go about your business, you don't need to worry about the two of us!"

He Yuzhu said with a smile:

“Then let’s do it. Although I’m busy, I wouldn’t be who I am today without my master back then.”

How could I possibly get into university?

Besides, didn't I say not to be so polite? We're all family!

Chapter 194: Foreigner Blocks Road to Recruit He Yuzhu

Hearing He Yuzhu's words, Yu Hui felt even more at ease, thinking to herself that she hadn't spoiled He Yuzhu for nothing.

Yu Hui and Tian Zehua both knew that they couldn't bring this up, after all, a great favor could turn into enmity.

Therefore, Yu Hui and Tian Zehua have been downplaying these things.

He Yuzhu had no idea that Tian Zehua and Yu Hui were thinking this way; if he had known, he would have been both amused and exasperated.

However, He Yuzhu still said:

"Madam, I brought some meat with me. Could you tell me where to put it?"

Yu Hui said:

"Zhu Zi, look at yourself. You know what your master does. If anyone is short of meat, your master can't be short of meat either, right?"

Although there isn't as much as before, a restaurant can't do without meat, can it?

"You have so many people in your family, keep it for yourself!"

He Yuzhu said:

"You know my capabilities. Besides, restaurants these days don't have that much leftover meat."

Everyone wanted to eat it all, and these days you need meat coupons to eat at restaurants.

You don't need to tell me, I already know. Since you've already brought it, just put it away.

I ate it these past two days, it'll go bad if it spoils!

Yu Hui knew that she definitely wouldn't take the things He Yuzhu sent back.

So they found a place for He Yuzhu to put it down.

He pulled He Yuzhu aside and talked for a while.

Only then did they let He Yuzhu leave.

After He Yuzhu left, he rode his bicycle to Hongbinlou, where Manager Gu saw He Yuzhu.

Then, happily, he said:
