The Courtyard House: He Yuzhu, Who Defied Fate

He Yuzhu nodded:

"Yeah, right? It's been two years already, just one more year and we can start cooking!"

Yan Bugui asked:

"So what did you learn to do?"

He Yuzhu shook his head:

"I don't know yet. I'll see if my master can arrange it for me."

Besides, I'll be a cook by then; with my skills, I can earn a living anywhere!

Yan Bugui nodded:

"That's true, then you have to let us know when you start working, and we'll celebrate with you!"

He Yuzhu said:

"Uncle, I'm barely surviving, and you're still thinking about celebrating!"

Yan Bugui said embarrassedly:

"I was saying that later, wasn't I? You go ahead with your work, I'm leaving now!"

Given He Yuzhu's current situation, Yan Bugui doesn't want to get involved. What if He Yuzhu asks him for something later?

Without waiting for He Yuzhu to speak, she turned around and went back.

Watching Yan Bugui leave, He Yuzhu didn't say anything and walked directly towards the Central Court.

Upon arriving at the Intermediate People's Court, He Yuzhu parked his bicycle in front of his house, then took out his key and opened the front door.

He Yu felt very disappointed when she saw that the house was empty, but she didn't show it.

He Yuzhu picked up his tools and began cleaning the room. Just then, Jia Dongxu stood at the door, watching He Yuzhu, and said to him:

"Zhu Zi is back?"

He Yuzhu looked at Jia Dongxu, then smiled and said:

"Brother Jia, you're not at work today?"

Jia Dongxu said:

"No, we're off today. Since the founding of the new country, steel mills have also had holidays."

"I'm off today, what brings you here?"

He Yuzhu replied:

"Me too! I'm off today, and I realized I haven't been back to visit in a long time, so I brought Yu back to check on things and clean the room!"

At this moment, Qin Huairu walked over carrying a child and said to Jia Dongxu:

"Dongxu, what are you doing here?"

He Yuzhu came out, saw Qin Huairu holding the child, and then said:

"Hello, sister-in-law, Brother Jia, is this your child?"

Jia Dongxu is very proud of the following:

"That's right, it's my son, nicknamed Banggeng, he's almost a year old!"

He Yuzhu never expected that he would actually see the Thief Saint, but the Thief Saint was still a baby.

However, he wasn't a fool, and he wouldn't tolerate this master thief in the future.

He Yuzhu asked Jia Dongxu:

"I just heard Uncle San say at the door that Uncle Yi wanted to see me. What is it?"

Jia Dongxu shook his head:

"I don't know either?"

At this moment, Yi Zhonghai's voice rang out:

"Dongxu, Huairu, what are you doing here? Who's from Zhuzi's family?"

He Yuzhu came out, and Yi Zhonghai saw him and said:

"Zhu Zi, you're back! You haven't come back to visit in so long!"

He Yuzhu said:

"I can't help it. I'm busy at Hongbinlou, how can I have time to come back? This is my day off."

"So you brought the rain back to see me!"

Upon hearing He Yuzhu's words, Yi Zhonghai said:

"Good, good, it's good that you're back. By the way, Zhu Zi, come to my house for dinner later, I have something to tell you!"

He Yuzhu shook his head:

"Uncle, you can say what you need to say here. I need to go back after I finish cleaning the room!"

Yi Zhonghai was taken aback, then said:

"Weren't you resting?"

He Yuzhu nodded:

"Yes, I'm resting. I still have to work tomorrow. Besides, there's nothing in the house, so it's uninhabitable."

Going back at night isn't very safe, but I'm a young man and nothing's wrong with me.

But I also brought my sister with me!

At this moment, Qin Huairu looked at He Yuzhu's bicycle and said in surprise:

"Hey, Zhu Zi, you have a bicycle now?"

He Yuzhu nodded:

"Yes, this isn't a formal apprenticeship. From now on, my master will be my real master."

This is the apprenticeship ceremony. My master saw me running back and forth and looked tired. Besides, my master is the head chef.

"It's not a small amount of money, just give it to me!"

Hearing He Yuzhu's words, Yi Zhonghai felt even more threatened.

Although He Yuzhu was his backup plan, it was about to be taken away by someone else, and if he didn't take action soon...

He Yuzhu then became someone else's.

Yi Zhonghai said:

"Zhu Zi, I'll take the things back first, then I'll come find you later!"

After saying that, he went back. He Yuzhu said to Jia Dongxu:

"Brother Jia, I'm sorry, the house is too messy, so I won't invite you over. It's all dusty."

I'll finish cleaning the house first!

Jia Dongxu nodded:

"Okay, you go ahead and do your thing!"

After He Yuzhu finished speaking, he went to clean up. Qin Huairu looked at He Yuzhu's bicycle with longing, but didn't say anything. Jia Dongxu was still alive.

Although Qin Huairu was envious, she had not yet become the perfect innocent and pure woman she would later become.

He went back with Jia Dongxu.

As soon as Jia Dongxu got home, he heard Jia Zhangshi say:

"Dongxu, you're a worker now, why are you running around to Shazhu's place? What kind of future can someone have whose father ran away and mother died?"

What if they try to blame us later? You're not allowed to go there again, understand?

Jia Dongxu felt helpless upon hearing his mother's words, after all, she was his mother.

Jia Dongxu said to Jia Zhangshi:

"Mom, Zhuzi didn't say anything, and he's getting better and better."

"He already has a master, and he even gave Zhu Zi a bicycle as a gift for becoming his apprentice!"

Upon hearing Jia Dongxu's words, Jia Zhangshi was extremely shocked:

"What? A bicycle as a gift for becoming an apprentice? What did you get when you became an old man's apprentice?"

Upon hearing what Jia Zhangshi said, Jia Dongxu said:

"Mom, we're factory workers. It's always the apprentices who give to the master, not the master who gives to the apprentice."

Jia Zhangshi said disdainfully:

"What? Why did Sha Zhu's master give it to you? No way, I told you to have your master buy you a bicycle too."

"If he doesn't buy it, I'll disown him!"

Upon hearing Jia Zhangshi's words, Jia Dongxu felt even more helpless:
