The Courtyard House: He Yuzhu, Who Defied Fate

That's why they took action here. The leaders of the steel rolling mill knew about it, but there was nothing they could do.

The steel mill is currently out of food. If possible, the mill wouldn't punish the workers for this, but there's no other way.

If there are no penalties, then the steel rolling mill will be impossible to manage.

So there's no other way but to impose a punishment.

He Yuzhu was aware of this situation, but his seventh division was in a better position. Gu Zhiqi had been farming, and while other places hadn't yielded any harvests, this time they had.

Therefore, everyone in the seventh bureau, whether temporary or permanent, can have enough to eat.

That's right, the people in the seventh round will have enough to eat.

After all, there weren't many people in the Seventh Bureau, and they were allocated a lot of food. He Yuzhu didn't take any, since his family only ate refined grains.

So we didn't take the coarse grains; we gave them all to the other people.

He Yuzhu wanted grain, but it was also for the Seventh Bureau's needs.

However, half of it was given to the military, while the military rations were given to local authorities.

Anyway, there isn't much grain left in the whole country right now.

He Yuzhu knew there was nothing he could do but wait for the disaster to pass.

He Yuzhu talked with He Daqing for a while, and then went back.

Yi Zhonghai walked back like a zombie, no longer shouting.

At this time, people in the black market also discovered Yi Zhonghai.

Then they went up and put a burlap sack over Yi Zhonghai's head.

Yi Zhonghai, completely unaware of being covered by a sack, didn't remove it and continued walking forward.

Those who were about to take action were stunned when they saw Yi Zhonghai like this.

One person stepped forward in an instant.

Normally, Yi Zhonghai would have started yelling, but this time he didn't make a sound and just kept walking forward.

For some reason, several people became increasingly frightened.

When someone saw Yi Zhonghai in this state, they took the sack off his body, revealing that his face was covered in blood.

But Yi Zhonghai ignored him and simply walked back.

When everyone saw this, they all thought Yi Zhonghai had gone mad.

Inside a courtyard house, several young people were reporting something to one person:

"Boss, is that it? Should we still make a move?"

The leader saw several people and said angrily:

"Hmph, he got off easy. Since he's gone mad, let's just leave him be and focus on our black market."

As for Yi Zhonghai's matter, we won't get involved!

Hearing their leader's words, the others nodded. Yi Zhonghai was unaware of the sudden blow he had suffered.

He managed to escape a disaster.

Of course, Yi Zhonghai returned home in a daze, and when the old lady saw him, she burst into tears:

"Honey, what's wrong? Don't scare me! Honey, honey!"

After a very long time, Yi Zhonghai was awakened by an old woman's crying. He looked at her and said:

"Old woman, what's wrong? Why are you crying?"

The middle-aged woman, who was crying, looked at Yi Zhonghai and then said to him:

"You're all better now, honey! You almost scared me to death! What happened?"

Yi Zhonghai thought of He Daqing, then sighed and said:

"Old woman, I'm just not convinced! How come that rotten man He Daqing has such a good life?"

He married a filial son named He Yuzhu, and the family also had two daughters, although they were not born to the same woman.

But if I'm living such a good life, why am I so miserable?

I finally managed to cultivate a partner to support me in my old age, and now that's gone. Originally, I wanted to keep Qin Huairu under my control and have her help us in our old age.

Unexpectedly, after I was hospitalized for only a few months, Qin Huairu found her master. Now you know the situation; we've fallen out.

Now Qin Huairu doesn't need my help anymore. If I had known this would happen, I would never have stayed in the hospital for those few months!

Upon hearing Yi Zhonghai's words, the older woman said to him:

"Honey, we can still move around, so let's adopt one."

Aren't you worried that people will look for their parents? We'll look for an orphan of a martyr.

Knowing that their parents are gone will make them treat us better in the future.

Didn't Zhu Zi already say that as long as the relationship between father and son is legally recognized, they must take care of us in our old age?

This is stipulated in the law; if we handle things properly, this matter is highly unlikely to occur!

Hearing what the older woman said, if it were Yi Zhonghai in the past, he would definitely disagree.

But Yi Zhonghai is really out of options now; apart from Nan Yi, there are no other suitable elderly people in the entire compound.

Moreover, Nan Yi isn't stupid; he won't listen to my explanation. I've approached Nan Yi several times already.

But Nan Yi ignored him. Thinking of this, Yi Zhonghai still hated He Yuzhu. If it weren't for He Yuzhu, he might have let Nan Yi help him in his old age.

It's hard not to know Yi Zhonghai's thoughts; if they had, Nan Yi certainly wouldn't have given Yi Zhonghai a chance.

Of course, Yi Zhonghai wouldn't think about that anymore. He had mentioned it to Nan Yi several times, and Nan Yi had found it hard to refuse.

After all, Nan Yi's family used to be quite well-off.

Nan Yi is not short of money or houses at all, and what Yi Zhonghai said could not possibly sway him.

As for the matter of not being able to support himself in his old age, Yi Zhonghai pushed it onto the newspaper written by He Yuzhu.

If He Yuzhu hadn't ruined his own reputation, why would no one have agreed to such a good thing as providing for one's retirement?

What Yi Zhonghai didn't know was that such things were disgusting in this era.

Indeed, in this era, many people have lost their sons and are very concerned about their retirement.

So everyone can understand, but it's wrong of you to almost ruin someone's family and cause them death in your attempt to secure their retirement.

His heart was corrupted. He wrote about this matter in great detail, leaving Yi Zhonghai with no way to refute it.

It can't be cleaned even if you wash it. So many people know about this, how can you possibly explain everything clearly?

Even if Yi Zhonghai had a thousand mouths, he couldn't explain it clearly.

This is also why people look down on Yi Zhonghai now; without a reputation, Yi Zhonghai is prone to getting stuck on trivial matters.

Yi Zhonghai has now come to terms with it: if he doesn't give it a try, there really won't be anyone to support him in his old age.

Yi Zhonghai nodded:

"Okay, I'll leave this to you. Go to the neighborhood and ask if there are any children you can adopt."

If that doesn't work, we can adopt more. If one doesn't take care of us in our old age, surely adopting more will ensure that none of them neglect us!

Hearing Yi Zhonghai's words, the middle-aged woman nodded:

"Row!"

Yi Zhonghai continued:

"With my current income, I can afford to adopt a few more animals, and I won't be involved in the affairs of the compound anymore."

Time to go to work and raise the kids!

The woman nodded with tears in her eyes. You see, she had never had children, so she especially loved children.

However, after Yi Zhonghai learned that someone had adopted a child who was not his biological child and would not support the adoptive father in his old age, Yi Zhonghai gave up the idea of ​​adopting a child.

They are single-mindedly focused on nurturing others to support their own elderly parents.

But Yi Zhonghai wasn't destined for that; he married Jia Dongxu, who later died.

I originally wanted to find He Yuzhu, but I didn't expect He Yuzhu to be a real dragon, and this courtyard house couldn't contain him at all.

Then he wanted to control Qin Huairu, but unexpectedly Qin Huairu also took the opportunity to leave.

Just as the two were talking, a sound came from outside:

"Qin Huairu, are you going to take care of your son Banggeng or not? If you don't, and he comes to my house to steal again, I'll break his legs!"

Qin Huairu quickly apologized:

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'll tell him when I get back. I'll pay whatever it costs. Banggeng is still young; we can't argue with a child."

But as the mother of the pheasant, it's all my fault!

Yi Zhonghai sighed and said:

"This joke is probably ruined!"
