The Courtyard House: He Yuzhu, Who Defied Fate

He rushed home and saw that his wife looked like she was in a fight with someone. He then asked her what happened.

The second aunt, looking smug, recounted what had happened that day, then said viciously:

"Serves him right! He should take a good look at himself in the mirror. What kind of person is he to want to marry He Yuzhu's sister!"

Liu Haizhong had originally had this idea, but it wasn't for his child.

Instead, he thought that since He Yu was a cadre and He Yuzhu was also a cadre, if the He family helped him, he could also become a cadre.

But now I've seen the fate of the Yan family.

So Liu Haizhong was glad he didn't go to a matchmaker, otherwise he would have ended up in the same situation.

The third aunt was crying at home. Without Yan Bugui, the Yan family was like a family without its backbone.

Yan Jiefang remained silent, while Yan Jiekuang said:

"Second brother, this is all because of you, tell me!"

Yan Jiefang said with great dissatisfaction:

"Yes, it's because of me, but I didn't ask my parents to report them, did I?"

Yan Jiekuang, still young, asked Yan Jiefang:

"What should we do then? Should we go find our older brother?"

Yan Jiefang said:

"My older brother is just a laborer, where can we find someone like him? He doesn't even have a fixed place to work every day!"

Yan Jiekuang asked:

"What should I do?"

Yan Jiefang said:

"What else can we do? Didn't you hear what Dad said when he left? He told us to go find He Yuzhu. As long as He Yuzhu forgives our family, everything will be fine!"

Yan Jiekuang wasn't stupid either; although young, he was very shrewd.

"Second brother, do you think it's possible?"

You know what Dad has been doing; I overheard it outside for a while just now.

Those people went to the steel rolling mill to arrest He Yuzhu, but He Yuzhu directly proved his innocence in front of so many people at the steel rolling mill.

Moreover, as the old man said, if He Yuzhu cannot prove his innocence, then everyone knows what will happen to him.

Basically, all we ate were peanuts. How are we supposed to explain this to He Yuzhu?!

The three aunties said:

"No matter what, we have to go and talk to him. He's your dad, and we can't just stand by and watch him get away with it."

"You have to get your dad out of here, otherwise what will we eat and drink, and what will you all do for school?"

After hearing what the three aunts said, the group realized, "Yes, what if their fathers were sentenced to prison?"

If my family members are also relatives of criminals, what will I do then? What will I do about going to school?

What about work?

With that thought in mind, the group exchanged glances and then made up their minds.

I'll go apologize to He Yuzhu tomorrow and beg him. If He Yuzhu doesn't agree...

The three women were unaware that their children each had their own thoughts.

He Yuzhu drove home. When he arrived, He Yu skipped over to him and asked:

"Brother, how did it go? Have you told the Yan family yet?"

He Yuzhu smiled indulgently and said:

"I told you, that Yan family overestimated themselves and got slapped in the face by me, so they tried to do something bad by reporting me."

I guess Yan Bugui has been arrested by now!

Hearing He Yuzhu's words, He Yu was shocked and then asked:

"what happened?"

He Yuzhu said calmly:

"What else could it be? They felt they'd lost face and wanted to ruin me. They said my salary wasn't enough to buy you a car."

Forget cars, if I weren't trying to keep a low profile, I could even fly a plane.

You're so jealous over a mere car? It's alright, don't you know what your brother's situation is like?

"It's just that the Yan family is in a terrible state!"

He Yu said:

"I reckon the Yan family will go to see Dad and Aunt Song tomorrow to apologize to you!"

He Yuzhu said disdainfully:

"He thinks he can just apologize whenever he wants? He's dreaming! Do you think I'm that easy to talk to?"

He Yudao:

"Hmph, if you don't forgive them, they'll try to kill you!"

He Yuzhu said disdainfully:

"How could I forgive them? I'm not a saint either. They were trying to kill me."

How could I be so pathetic as to forgive them!

Chen Xueru said:

"That family is really awful. They just don't want to date their child, do they?"

Why would you report someone else?!

He Yuzhu said:

"I know what he's up to. He just wants to see our family fall into decline, and then come back to slap us in the face, right?"

But they're really overthinking it!

He Yuzhu was no naiveté; he could guess the Yan family's intentions immediately.

Chen Xueru said:

"Luckily, we didn't have anything going on with his family. If we had really become relatives, who knows how they would have treated our family?"

He Yuzhu said disdainfully:

"If they really become relatives, they'll probably leech off us and demand money every day."

If not, how would you arrange it?

"It's the right thing to not go. There's not a single good person in the Yan family; they're all either cunning or scheming!"

He Yu nodded in agreement after hearing this. "That's right, even Han Chunyan knows about the 'calculator'!"

He Yuzhu said:

"Alright, forget it. Their family's business has nothing to do with us. I'll go cook."

Have He Xiao and He Hua returned?

Chen Xueru nodded:

"You're back. You're doing your homework in your room!"

He Yuzhu nodded, then asked:

"Yu, how's work lately? Anything bothering you?"

He Yu shook her head:

"No, but I've been promoted to a permanent position. I'm now the deputy director of the office, at the deputy section chief level."

"Am I amazing?"

He Yuzhu nodded:

"My sister is amazing! I'll go make you something delicious right now, and then we'll celebrate!"

He Yu nodded:

"Okay, brother, you're so kind!"

At this moment, Yang Xiaodi also returned, heard He Yu's happy cheers, and then said with a smile:

"Rain, what did your brother do this time? How come he's really healed!"

He Yu said, skipping and jumping:

"Sister-in-law, you're back! Here's what happened!"

After He Yu finished speaking, she recounted what she had just learned. Upon hearing He Yu's words, Yang Xiaodi angrily said:

"Honey, you can't forgive that family. What kind of people are they? They think they can come to you for forgiveness after all this?"
