The Courtyard House: He Yuzhu, Who Defied Fate

With that in mind, He Yuzhu decided not to do anything more in this compound.

He Yuzhu locked the room and then called out:

"Rain, rain, go away!"

He Yu ran back from the front yard, her face covered in sweat. Looking at He Yuzhu, she called out cutely:

"Brother, shall we leave now?"

He Yuzhu nodded:

"Yes, I'm leaving. Do you want to come back with me?"

Hearing He Yuzhu's words, He Yu nodded:

"Yes, yes, I want to go back, I want to go back!"

Seeing He Yuzhu's expression, he nodded:

"Okay, let's go!"

After saying that, he reached out and placed He Yuzhu on the front beam, then pushed the bicycle out of the courtyard. Seeing He Yuzhu leave, Yan Bugui asked:

"Zhu Zi, you're leaving already?"

He Yuzhu nodded:

"Yes, let's leave now, it won't be safe if we wait any longer!"

After saying that, He Yuzhu rode away on his bicycle. Seeing that He Yuzhu wasn't heading home, He Yu asked:

"Brother, aren't we going home?"

He Yuzhu shook his head:

"We're not going back. We're going to Hongbinlou to take care of something with our master!"

He Yu was also very happy to hear He Yuzhu's words:

"I miss Uncle Gu!"

He Yuzhu nodded:

"Okay, let's go see them!"

He Yu waved her little hand excitedly:

"Let's go, yay, hehehe..."

He Yu's clear laughter echoed throughout the streets and alleys.

Soon He Yuzhu and He Yu arrived at Hongbinlou. Seeing He Yuzhu return, many people at Hongbinlou greeted him.

"Master He is back!"

"Is Master He on holiday?"

"Master He, it's been a long time!"

……

He Yuzhu greeted everyone with a smile, and as he did so, everyone chuckled and asked about his current situation.

He Yuzhu said everything was very good. Just then, Manager Gu arrived, saw He Yuzhu, and was very happy. Manager Gu said to He Yuzhu:

"The pillar is here?"

He Yuzhu nodded:

"Yes, Manager Gu has been doing well lately, hasn't he?"

Manager Gu said to He Yuzhu:

"That's great. What made you decide to come here?"

He Yuzhu said:

"Since it's a holiday, I came to visit, to see my master, and to see you all. It's been more than two years."

I've really missed you all since we haven't seen each other for so long.

Hearing He Yuzhu say that, whether it was true or not, Manager Gu was still quite happy.

He said to He Yuzhu:

"Zhu Zi, I didn't expect you to say that. How are things going at school?"

He Yuzhu said:

“That’s great. I’ve only been studying for a few months, and now it’s winter break. The house you gave me is very nice. I’ve come here to invite my master to spend the New Year there.”

"By the way, Manager Gu, there's something I'd like to ask you for help with!"

Manager Gu asked:

"whats the matter?"

He Yuzhu recounted the story of Yi Zhonghai at the courtyard house, as well as the events of today.

After hearing He Yuzhu finish speaking, Manager Gu said:

"He's not seriously ill, is he? You're a master chef, going to work in a steel mill cooking for the masses?"

"And you're going to go two years without a salary? How much does he make a month?"

He Yuzhu said:

"I didn't ask, but it should be around five or six hundred thousand!"

There has been no reform of wages; wages are set internally by the factories themselves, and different bosses set different wages.

Upon hearing He Yuzhu's words, Manager Gu replied with utter disdain:

"Even if you do nothing, I'll pay you more than him. How dare he introduce you to a job?"

He Yuzhu said:

"He's plotting against me. He's the only childless person in our neighborhood, and he's always looking for someone to take care of him in his old age, but he doesn't want to raise any children."

This is just like my dad running away, and now he's trying to frame me.

If anyone comes looking for me again, just tell them I've been sent out for training, specifically to Tianjin.

"I won't be back anytime soon! Don't underestimate my status here, otherwise who knows what schemes they'll devise against me!"

Manager Gu said:

"I've already given you a house, so why don't you just stay here?"

He Yuzhu said with a wry smile:

“I don’t want to go back either, but my sister can’t. She always wants to go back and see if my dad has come back yet.”

"It'll only be a few years. They'll grow up and understand things better in a few years!"

Manager Gu knew how good He Yuzhu was to He Yu, and then nodded:

"Okay, I'll help you with this!"

He Yuzhu said;

"I rejected them this time, so I guess they won't come looking for me next time. But they only have a few tricks up their sleeves: spreading rumors."

Or come and slander me to you or my master, so you can be sent back.

Upon hearing He Yuzhu's words, Manager Gu was taken aback, and then asked:

"Would they still do that?"

He Yuzhu nodded:

"Yes, of course they can't not. If they're pushed too far, they'll do something desperate."

I had no choice. I still have my younger sister, and I can't risk her life.

When my sister grows up, or when I graduate from university, I won't have to worry about them anymore!

Upon hearing He Yuzhu's words, Manager Gu said:

"Alright, talk to your master about the kitchen matters, and I'll discuss the main dining area with everyone!"

He Yuzhu said to Manager Gu:

"Okay, thank you so much, Manager Gu. I really don't know how to thank you enough!"

....... ... 0

Manager Gu waved his hand:

"Don't go back today, show everyone what you've cooked. We haven't had your cooking in ages!"

He Yuzhu nodded:

"No problem, I'll go find my master, and then I'll cook for everyone!"

Manager Gu is also very much looking forward to it:

"it is good!"
