The Courtyard House: He Yuzhu, Who Defied Fate

Since we're all just ordinary people, living among the common folk, why worry so much?

Hearing He Yuzhu's sophistry, He Yu felt utterly helpless, then rolled her eyes:

"Fine, I can't argue with you. Do whatever you want."

He Yu knew that the country recognized He Yuzhu's actions, so what could she do even if she didn't?

He Yu said soft:

"Tomorrow you and Dad should ask what happened. I heard it was quite noisy on Dad's end, but I couldn't hear what he was saying."

He Yuzhu nodded:

"Okay, don't worry about it, I'll definitely ask for you tomorrow!"

Chapter 229: The Yan Family, Still Harboring Thieves

He Yu nodded:

"Well, you really need to ask them properly what kind of nonsense it is that they're setting me up on a blind date."

Don't set me up on blind dates just because I'm a guy; I don't have the time.

You should have a good talk with your dad about my conditions and the other party's conditions.

Will you still marry me?

Even if it's someone who comes to your door, I won't take her!

Hearing He Yu's words, He Yuzhu nodded in agreement.

Even in families like Yan Jiefang's, the truth is, they wouldn't even want to be a live-in son-in-law.

He was even thinking of marrying his own sister.

I don't know what I'm thinking.

So He Yuzhu didn't say much, but instead said to He Yu:

"Okay, don't worry!"

The next day, He Yu reminded He Yuzhu again, and He Yuzhu drove to the steel rolling mill.

Upon arriving at the steel rolling mill, a woman said to He Daqing:

"Daqing, we've been neighbors for a long time, and you know about Teacher Yan's family situation."

They all know each other well. If your daughter were to date him herself, she wouldn't know anything about him.

You agree, right? Besides, since ancient times, marriages have always been arranged by parents and matchmakers!

He Yuzhu said loudly:

"Hey auntie, who are you? A feudal remnant?"

What do you mean by "arranged marriages by parents and matchmakers since ancient times"? We live in a new society where gender equality is the norm.

The teacher said that women hold up half the sky, are you trying to restore the old order?

Or what?

They've come here to promote feudal superstition!

Upon hearing this, the woman was stunned for a moment, then chuckled and said:

"Zhu Zi, it's me, your Aunt Wang, don't you recognize me? The matchmaker from your area!"

He Yuzhu nodded and said:

“I know you act as a matchmaker for others, and I don’t care, but I thank you for arranging a marriage for my sister.”

But you must know what Yan Jiefang is, right?

"We can't betray our conscience for a few bucks!"

Matchmaker Wang said to He Yuzhu:

"Zhu Zi, look at what you're saying. It's not that serious. What do you mean by going against your conscience?"

No, not really.

Yan Jiefang has three brothers and their parents are still alive.

With parents around, they can help with daily life.

Having many brothers means you'll have more people to bully you!

It's just that my educational background isn't as high as Yu's, but what's the point of studying so much these days?

Besides, Teacher Yan has a formal job, and you all know him well, having watched him grow up since childhood.

"Isn't that much better than those outsiders who don't know anything about it?"

He Yuzhu said to Wang the matchmaker:

"Aunt Wang, you really have a sharp tongue; you can even make the dead sound alive."

I really know the inside story of the Yan family.

The eldest son and his wife are so busy paying off their retirement savings that they don't dare have any children.

Staying at her house costs money, eating costs money, drinking costs money, and eating costs money, except for breathing.

There's no place where you can go without spending money.

What? If my sister really marries the second son of the Yan family, the first thing she won't do is live together, right?

Instead, let's work together to pay back the money we owed Yan Jiefang for supporting him.

Even in Yanbugui, peanuts are sold by the grain, and they still charge extra for them.

He can mix one bottle of wine with ten other bottles and still have enough to drink for another six months.

How else do you want to cover it up for him?

If you weren't from the same compound, you could easily be fooled by a teacher's child.

When my sister is looking for a boyfriend, the style of his clothes must be something she likes; otherwise, it will be something she doesn't.

No matter how good the offer is, I won't take it.

My sister likes a beggar, and I gave him the card properly.

So Aunt Wang, you should go back and have a good talk with the Yan family. My sister is not someone they can covet.

If you dare to mess with my sister again, don't blame me for being ruthless!

Upon hearing He Yuzhu's words, Wang the matchmaker knew that the matter was completely over.

He knew all of this, and if he continued to say it, he would really offend someone.

They've already stripped you bare, so stop pretending and making a fool of yourself.

So Wang the matchmaker didn't want to say anything more and just ran away.

Upon hearing He Yuzhu's words, everyone else turned to him and asked:

"Zhu Zi, is the Yan family really as you described?"

He Yuzhu said:

"It's even worse than that. I'm just giving a simple example: if they don't pick up money when they go out, they're losing money."

Tell me, what's it like having proper upbringing at home?

Upon hearing He Yuzhu's words, the crowd began to murmur among themselves:

"I never imagined the Yan family would be like this. I'll go back and tell my family when I see this."

"No matter which family you go on a blind date with, you should never go on a blind date with the Yan family!"

"Yes, if we go on a blind date with the Yan family, wouldn't that be pushing our child into a fire pit?"

"Yes, that's right, that's right!"

……

He Yuzhu said to He Daqing:

"Dad, come here!"

He Daqing came out, looked at He Yuzhu, and asked him:

"Zhu Zi, what's the matter?"

He Yuzhu said to He Daqing:

"Dad, my sister's marriage is her own decision!"

He Daqing nodded:

"That's what I said too, but that matchmaker Wang didn't believe me. What could I do?"

If you hadn't come, I would have said the same thing to him.

But as you know, matchmakers are all shameless.
