The Courtyard House: He Yuzhu, Who Defied Fate

If you don't do it, that would be wrong, so Qin Huairu is always very confident and virtuous whenever she meets He Yuzhu.

However, nothing He Yuzhu did ever satisfy Qin Huairu.

Qin Huairu often harbored resentment towards He Yuzhu.

Qin Huairu believed that He Yuzhu had to help her, but she knew that she and He Yuzhu had no relationship.

It was when He Yuzhu came home and cleaned the house that I greeted him.

At other times, he had no interaction with He Yuzhu. Why is that?

Chapter 249: Reaching Out to the Navy

Just as Qin Huairu was wondering what was going on with her, He Yuzhu had already left.

Looking at He Yuzhu leaving and at Jia Zhangshi's eyes, Yi Zhonghai knew that the Jia family was causing trouble again.

However, Yi Zhonghai didn't care. In the past, he might have tried to intervene, but ever since he broke up with Qin Huairu...

Yi Zhonghai was only in charge of the deaf old lady and a few people in his own family.

As for the affairs of the compound, Yi Zhonghai no longer cares about them, ever since Yan Bugui returned after committing a crime.

Yan Bugui didn't wait for Liu Haizhong to lose his temper. He came back, admitted his mistake, and then resigned from his position as the Third Uncle with a very sincere attitude.

The words that Liu Haizhong had prepared for so long were simply gone.

However, Liu Haizhong is really in high spirits lately. Regardless of Yi Zhonghai, Yan Bugui is no longer the third uncle.

Liu Haizhong was quite smug, as he was in charge of everything in the compound and was eating eggs more frequently every day.

However, Yi Zhonghai didn't care. As long as they didn't bully him, he was fine with anything.

Yi Zhonghai is now very indifferent to worldly affairs, especially with the deaf old lady standing next to him.

No one dared to offend Yi Zhonghai.

Yi Zhonghai is one of the few intelligent people among them.

For some reason, Qin Huairu developed a hatred for He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu didn't know what Qin Huairu was thinking. If he did, he would marvel at the power of the plot.

However, he wasn't stupid; the power of the plot couldn't affect him.

I agree that I should go back and stay with Chen Xueru. Chen Xueru and Yang Xiaodi are the two women who are truly thinking of me wholeheartedly.

When everyone returned home that evening, they learned about the trouble caused by Jia Zhangshi earlier that day.

Yang Xiaodi asked He Yuzhu:

"Brother Zhu, why didn't you send that old hag in? She's guilty of a crime too!"

He Yuzhu said with a smile:

"Why send her in? You should know that Jia Zhangshi's recent antics were probably instigated by Qin Huairu."

Qin Huairu watched me abuse my mother-in-law from behind, and didn't say a word until I left.

I guess they just wanted to use me to get her mother-in-law in.

If I really send Jia Zhangshi in, then Qin Huairu will get her way.

Regardless, letting Jia Zhang cause Qin Huairu some trouble is a way of getting revenge on that woman for scheming against me!

Yang Xiaodi heard He Yuzhu's words and asked curiously:

"Brother Zhu, as far as I know, you don't have any dealings with that Qin Huairu. Why is she targeting you?"

He Yuzhu said disdainfully:

"What else could it be? Isn't it all because of her precious son, Bang Geng? You all know about Bang Geng's situation, right?"

Hmph, she just wants me to find someone to release her precious son.

How could that be? This is a state judgment, a ten-year sentence. Who would dare release him?

She actually had this idea; it's utterly absurd.

That's why she schemed against me—because we're not friends. You know, if I had been stupid enough to agree...

What will my fate be? It will be to undermine national security or interfere with judicial fairness.

I'll be facing a severe sentence then; even if it's not shooting at a target, it'll be at least twenty years.

But I have nothing to do with her, what does my life or death have to do with her?

Everyone was stunned when they heard He Yuzhu's words. Could this really be done?

He Yu said with great disdain:

"How shameless! I thought this widow was quite nice before, how could she be so despicable now!"

He Yuzhu said:

"You think that way because she schemed against me. If you look at it from the Jia family's perspective, Qin Huairu's actions are understandable for the sake of Jia Dongxu's only son."

She's just too selfish. As long as her own family members are safe, she doesn't care about anyone else.

Whether she lives or dies is none of her business!

Hearing He Yuzhu's words, Chen Xueru asked curiously:

"So why did I suddenly decide to look for you?"

He Yuzhu said:

"She might want to find someone else, but she can find someone, can't she? I'm the most capable person she knows."

In that courtyard house, Qin Huairu only needed to feign pitifulness and say some ambiguous things.

Many men will do a lot for him.

But who were the people in that compound? Xu Damao was tricked into getting involved.

The houses have all been taken back.

The people in that compound were, to put it nicely, workers; to put it bluntly, they were people from the bottom of society.

What abilities could two people like you possibly have that would lead you to marry someone without education?

Yang Xiaodi shook her head:

"No way! We don't have anything in common. How could we live together if we were together?"

He Yuzhu nodded:

"That's right, so the people in that compound haven't seen many beautiful women."

A woman like Qin Huairu, with her captivating eyes, could bewitch men completely.

Therefore, Qin Huairu was confident that her beauty would also be captivating.

I wonder where he got his confidence from!

Hearing He Yuzhu's words, the group's impression of Qin Huairu worsened.

He Yuzhu said:

"You've stopped cultivating?"

Yang Xiaodi said:

"It's all your fault. If it weren't for you, how could we have forgotten?"

After saying that, everyone went to cultivate.

This time, He Yuzhu didn't prepare any medicinal cuisine for everyone, but instead brewed some traditional Chinese medicine.

After finishing, He Yuzhu took out a paper package and handed one to each person.

Say:

"Everyone should drink a bowl of these medicines. They will increase your cultivation speed. This medicine was specially prepared for you."

It's specifically for repairing hidden injuries, and it's more effective than medicinal cuisine.

Upon hearing He Yuzhu's words, everyone took their medicine and drank it all in one gulp.

He Xiao and He Hua thought it was something delicious.

They all picked up their bowls and drank it all in one gulp.

The other adults endured the hardship, but they all persevered.

He Xiao also felt miserable, but seeing that the adults didn't say anything, she kept a bitter face and didn't make a sound.

But He Hua didn't care about any of that. She opened her mouth, stuck out her tongue, and kept spitting out words:

"Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey! So bitter, so bitter, so bitter!"

Everyone initially thought the medicine was quite bitter, but upon seeing the amusing He Hua, they couldn't help but laugh.

He Yuzhu said:

"Okay, now let's all practice the cultivation method together. Half an hour later, before going back to sleep, everyone take a bath."
