The Courtyard House: He Yuzhu, Who Defied Fate

"This has nothing to do with me. It's a matter for the steel mill, not a house on the street."

"If you want them, just go to the steel rolling mill!"

Hearing Director Wang's words, Yan Bugui felt very disappointed, after all, he was just a teacher and had no connections in the steel rolling mill.

An older woman inside the house overheard this and was tempted, after all, she had already adopted three children.

The old lady's house is definitely not enough; it seems we need to find a way to get Yi Zhonghai to buy it.

Yan Bugui also knew that houses could not be bought and sold now. If they could, he would definitely buy the house.

Although Xu Damao's house is in the backyard, it is still a house facing south.

It's even better than my own.

He Yuzhu had no interest in Xu Damao's house, after all, it was just two small rooms.

In his possession, there is the four-courtyard house with black gold, and the three-courtyard house he bought before.

He Yuzhu would have bought the whole apartment if it were a complete unit, but he didn't even want a single room.

Director Wang looked at He Yuzhu and asked him with a smile:

"Zhu Zi, why are you back? Did you come back to visit for no reason?"

He Yuzhu said with a smile:

"No, it's not that Teacher Yan's second son wanted to date my sister, but my sister objected."

"Am I just here to say something?"

Upon hearing He Yuzhu's words, Director Wang said:

"I remember your sister was only seventeen or eighteen, wasn't she?"

He Yuzhu nodded:

"Seventeen, haven't you graduated from Tsinghua University now? You've been assigned to the capital's office."

My sister is not even old enough to date, but Teacher Yan has already set his sights on her. I came up to them and told them not to spread rumors about my sister.

"Before anything even happened, Yan Jiefang started calling me 'brother-in-law,' and I got so angry that I hit him!"

Upon hearing He Yuzhu's words, Director Wang looked at Yan Bugui, who was smirking.

"Yan Bugui, you've got a clever plan, haven't you?"

Yan Bugui knew his scheme had been discovered, but he also knew this was wrong, so he said to He Yuzhu:

"Didn't we already agree that this matter should just be left alone?"

He Yuzhu said:

“He Yu is my sister. Don’t think that just because you gossip a few times in private, I will agree to let my sister associate with your family.”

I know that's how you got her, Yu Li, but my sister got married and is getting divorced, and I'm supporting her.

If I find out you're up to no good, I'll risk my reputation to make sure your whole family is ruined!

Upon hearing He Yuzhu's words, Yan Bugui looked at Director Wang, who replied, "Don't look at me."

This is a matter between your two families. As long as they don't break the law, there's nothing we can do about it!

Upon hearing Director Wang's words, Yan Bugui knew that He Yuzhu had framed him, and he had nowhere to seek justice.

Yan Bugui chuckled and then said:

"I know, I know, no, no!"

Director Wang said:

"It's perfect that you're here. I'll leave the Xu family's affairs to you. And you even have a bicycle!"

Yan Bugui had no choice but to nod.

"Okay, Director Wang, I understand!"

After Director Wang finished speaking, he left in a hurry. Seeing Director Wang leave, He Yuzhu, too lazy to argue with Yan Bugui, also drove away.

After watching He Yuzhu leave, the third aunt whispered to Yan Bugui:

"Are we just going to let this go like that?"

Yan Bugui said in an annoyed tone:

"What else can we do? Go and spread rumors like Yu Li did? And force He Yu to marry Jiefang?"

The three women were very interested, and Yan Bugui looked at them:

"Give up that idea. The He family is not the Yu family. If He Yuzhu uses his connections to get me removed from my position as teacher, our family will be left with nothing."

Right now, I'm the only one in my family who earns money; no one else in the family earns any.

You can't mess with He Yuzhu. He Yuzhu always drives a car, and even He Yu drives a car.

If I say a few unpleasant things to my boss, my life will be over!

Hearing Yan Bugui's words, the third aunt had no choice but to nod:

"Oh well, what a pity. Such a good wife. If we had really gotten together, our family would have turned our lives around."

After all, I did inquire about that car; nowadays, a car costs tens of thousands of yuan.

"Money we could never earn in a lifetime!"

Yan Bugui originally intended to swallow his anger, but he did not expect to hear these words.

"What did you say? How much?"

The three aunties said:

"Tens of thousands?"

Yan Bugui's self-talk:

"With his position as a first-level engineer, I heard last time that he earned 488 a month."

That is, if we start counting from when he started working in 1955, he certainly wouldn't have had this much money when he first started working.

Even if we calculate it at 500 each time, it adds up to 6,000 yuan a year.

It's been less than ten years since 1955. Even if we calculate it as ten years, it would take him every penny, without eating or drinking, to save up 60,000 yuan.

A car costs over 100,000 yuan, and their family owns two.

After deducting normal expenses, it's impossible to save over ten thousand!

Upon hearing Yan Bugui's words, the third aunt said:

"You're saying He Yuzhu lined his own pockets!"

Yan Bugui said:

"Hmph, it's more than that, over a hundred thousand! Can this be explained by embezzlement? No matter how rich He Yuzhu is..."

How could someone make so much money in such a short time?

"No way, I'm going to report them. Let's see if the He family will still be so arrogant now that they've lost their current lifestyle!"

The three aunties said:

"If there are no problems, you'll be the one to suffer the consequences!"

Yan Bugui retorted, unconvinced:

"Hmph, how could there be no problem? Think about it yourself, his salary is already very high."

But it's impossible for them to afford a car. If they get arrested, He Yu will also be caught in the crossfire.

I don't believe it for 2.5 seconds; no one would dare to cover this up for him.

That much money, over ten thousand, is enough for that kid He Yuzhu to eat peanuts.

Even if his sister begs me to marry into our family, I won't agree!

Hearing Yan Bugui's words, the third aunt agreed, after all, He Yuzhu had gone too far.

He Yuzhu's previous words were too much. Although He Yuzhu did not pursue the matter, he was aiming to kill me.

So the three aunties also wanted to teach He Yuzhu a lesson, but neither of them ever thought of it.

If this is true, what fate awaits the Ho family?

These people don't care what happens to others; even with Xu Damao's situation, everyone's just watching the show.

Even if he dies, he'll only become fodder for gossip among himself and his neighbors.

So these people never considered what fate awaited He Yuzhu. No matter what fate awaited him, as long as it wasn't a good one, they could vent their anger.

Yan Bugui said:

"Wait here, I'll go find Xu Fugui, tell him about his family, and then I'll report him!"

I refuse to believe that the higher-ups can't fill such a huge funding gap!

The three aunties nodded:

"Fine, he's too arrogant. If we don't teach him a lesson, he'll never know his place!"
