The Courtyard House: He Yuzhu, Who Defied Fate

He Yu nodded:

“We’re not stupid, we definitely can’t forgive, right, brother?”

He Yuzhu nodded:

"That's right, mistakes should be punished. If you make a mistake and easily find someone to forgive you, the cost of making mistakes in the future will be too low, and who knows what will happen then!"

Chapter 235: Kneeling and Begging for Mercy

Upon hearing He Yuzhu's words, the group nodded in agreement.

Such a person cannot be tolerated, after all, this is to kill He Yuzhu, if He Yuzhu forgives him.

Then you really must have a problem with your brain!

The group then ate.

The next day, He Yuzhu was at home playing with the children.

He Yuzhu wanted to rest, so he didn't go to work. After all, the country hadn't fully digested what he had given them yet.

Nothing happened when He Yuzhu went.

I decided not to go before the New Year.

Just then, He Yuzhu's phone rang. After all, unless it was something important, few people would call He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu answered:

"Hello, I am He Yuzhu1"

He Daqing's voice came from the other end:

"Pillar, it's me!"

He Yuzhu:

"Dad, what's wrong?"

He Daqing said:

"Are you busy right now? Could you come to the steel rolling mill?"

He Yuzhu said to He Daqing:

"Not too busy, what's up?"

He Daqing explained:

"Come and take a look. Three old women and their children are kneeling on the ground, and they won't get up no matter what anyone says."

They said they were looking for you!

Upon hearing He Daqing's words, He Yuzhu said to He Daqing:

"Okay, wait a minute, I'm coming right now!"

After saying this, He Yuzhu handed the child over to Chen Xueru to take care of, and said to Chen Xueru:

"Xueru, I'm going to the steel mill. Auntie San and her children are pressuring Dad there."

Chen Xueru nodded;

"Okay, but you can't be soft-hearted. They were there to kill you!"

He Yuzhu nodded:

"Okay, don't worry, I won't issue a letter of forgiveness!"

After listening, Chen Xueru nodded. He Yuzhu drove to the steel rolling mill. At the gate, the three aunts were kneeling there with four children: Yan Jiecheng, Yan Jiefang, Yan Jiekuang, and Yan Jiedi.

After He Yuzhu got off the bus, the three women saw him coming and excitedly said:

"Zhu Zi, Zhu Zi, I'm sorry, it's all my husband's fault, he was bewitched."

Please, please don't pursue this further, okay?

He Yuzhu looked at the three women and then asked:

"Who are you? Who's in charge of your household?"

The three women were stunned when they heard He Yuzhu's words. What was going on?

How could He Yuzhu not recognize him? He had a lot to say, but He Yuzhu interrupted him with just one sentence.

The three aunties said:

"I am the Third Aunt, the old man who used to manage the courtyard house where you lived, the wife of the Third Uncle Yan Bugui."

We met yesterday, how come you don't recognize me?

He Yuzhu pretended to say:

"Oh, we know each other? I don't remember at all!"

Yan Jiecheng said helplessly:

"Brother Zhu, I'm sorry, my dad was wrong to do this, but please, please forgive us for growing up together."

Please let my dad go this time. He'll never do it again!

He Yuzhu said disdainfully:

"Jiecheng, we did grow up together, but so what?"

Your dad watched me grow up, didn't he?

You've watched me grow up since I was little, and then what did you do yesterday?

They reported me, saying I embezzled, that I broke the law, and that I stole state funds to buy a car for my sister.

If I hadn't had my own evidence to prove my innocence, I would be either paraded through the streets or shot at today.

I don't think I've wronged the Yan family. Although there's no gratitude, there's no enmity either, right?

Your brother wanted to date my sister, and I refused. I didn't do anything to your family, did I?

But what did Yan Bugui do? He filed a formal complaint.

Even if I did do such a thing, you, as people who watched me grow up, cannot directly report me.

You clearly think I'm the kind of person who breaks the law and violates discipline. Knowing that my sister doesn't want to date someone from your Yan family, you harbor resentment and want to kill me.

If you made the report anonymously, I would have thought that you were just being considerate of our past acquaintance and didn't want things to get too awkward.

Even if I knew it was you, I would pretend I didn't.

After all, I, He Yuzhu, am upright and have nothing to fear.

But what did your father do? He filed a formal complaint against me, as if he wanted to kill me.

When you wanted to kill me yesterday, why didn't you think about forgiving me?

Yan Bugui is also a teacher. Even if I were in trouble, let alone if I were fine, why didn't he think of helping me out?

They insist on killing me outright; I don't want to wait even a moment longer.

Alright, you can go back now. False accusations won't cost you your life; at most, you'll get a few years in prison.

Let him learn a lesson. Don't keep telling him how difficult things are for your family; there are many difficult situations.

Moreover, difficulties are not an excuse for your crimes, much less a reason for you to take my life.

It's not that I'm asking you to forgive your family's moral blackmail.

Okay, that's all I meant. It's fine now, you can go back!

Upon hearing He Yuzhu's words, Yan Jiefang said:

"Brother Zhu, my dad can't go through the fence. If he does, our family is doomed."

You know that too…

He Yuzhu said with a smile:

"Hehe, that's ridiculous. Your dad can't go through the fence, so does that mean I should go through?"

"What, when he reported me yesterday, didn't he think about what would happen to me?"

Upon hearing He Yuzhu's words, Yan Jiefang was speechless.

The three women cried and sobbed:

"Waaaaah, Zhu Zi, we're so sorry. It's all our fault, no matter what. We don't ask for anything else, we just ask that you forgive your third uncle. He was truly blinded by greed..."

He Yuzhu interrupted the three aunts:

"Since you know you're wrong, you have to bear the consequences of your mistake. What, you're the one who made a mistake, so kneel down, cry, and apologize?"

Does that mean the victim has to forgive?

If someone kills your family and then afterwards says they were wrong and apologizes to you.

If I kneel down and apologize, you'll forgive me?

I really don't know what you guys are thinking. Okay, I've already stated my position: I won't write a letter of understanding or anything like that.
