The Courtyard House: He Yuzhu, Who Defied Fate

"Yu, do you look down on your brother that much? Is your brother's cooking not good?"

He Yu nodded:

"Mmm, it's delicious! It's the best dish I've ever eaten!"

He Yuzhu said:

"Could it be that my brother's cooking skills have surpassed Dad's, so Dad's food isn't as delicious as my brother's, rather than Dad not liking the rain anymore?"

Upon hearing He Yuzhu's words, He Yu said:

"Oh, I see. That's amazing, brother! It's like taking exams for me; those who are good at studying will catch up, right?"

He Yuzhu nodded:

"Yu is so clever, that's exactly what I mean!"

He Yu said:

"Okay, then brother, will you cook for me later?"

He Yuzhu nodded:

"Okay, I'll go cook you some food right now!"

He Yu saw that He Daqing was unhappy, and then ran over to him.

Holding He Daqing's hand, she said:

"Dad, the rain is wrong, can you please stop raining!"

He Daqing held He Yu, gently patted her, and said to her:

"Yu, Daddy was wrong. Daddy will work hard to improve his cooking skills and make delicious food for Yu, okay?"

He Yu nodded:

"Okay, then Yu will be good and listen to Daddy and Brother!"

He Daqing's heart melted as he looked at his adorable daughter.

Just as the father and daughter were playing, He Yuzhu shouted:

"Dad, Yu, you're done eating!"

He Yu held He Daqing's small hand and said anxiously:

"Dad, come quick! My brother's cooking is delicious!"

He Daqing was also very curious about what master-level cooking skills were like. He had only heard that the chefs were incredibly skilled.

But I've never met someone like He Daqing.

Upon arriving at the restaurant, He Yuzhu had already prepared the food. He Yuzhu said to He Daqing:

"Dad, sit down, eat, and try my cooking!"

He Daqing nodded, sat down, picked up his chopsticks, and looked at the home-style dishes on the table.

He picked up a bite, put it in his mouth, and the flavor of the dish exploded in He Daqing's mouth.

He Daqing closed his eyes, savoring the deliciousness of the dish.

He Yu had eaten there several times, and looked at He Daqing expectantly, asking:

"Dad, isn't it delicious!"

He Yu's soft, sweet voice brought He Daqing back from his reverie, and then he sighed and said:

"This master-level culinary skill is truly extraordinary!"

Then, looking at her daughter's expectant eyes, she smiled and said:

"good to eat!"

Upon hearing this, He Yu said with great joy:

"I told you, I wasn't lying, my brother's cooking is really delicious!"

The three of them started eating, and the food continued to be prepared until all three had finished.

Even He Daqing, a chef, was stuffed, which shows how delicious it was.

He Daqing looked at He Yuzhu and said to the pillar:

"2.5 Pillar, with your skills, it's a real waste that you're not in the culinary world!"

He Yuzhu said:

"I'm not short of money now. Although my cooking skills have improved rapidly, I never thought I would spend my whole life working around the stove."

I want to do something more meaningful!

He Daqing looked at He Yuzhu and couldn't understand He Yuzhu's thoughts at all.

Having a wife, kids, and a warm bed—that's what truly matters. Everything else is just pointless fuss.

However, He Yuzhu can no longer manage things himself, nor does he want to.

After finishing the meal, He Yuzhu cleared the table, and He Daqing said:

"Shazhu, come here for a second, I need to tell you something!"

He Yuzhu stood up and went into the room with He Daqing. He Daqing took a box out of his bag and handed it to He Yuzhu.

"Keep this for me. It belongs to your mother and she plans to give it to your future wife."

I didn't give it to you then because you were too young, but now I'm giving it to you. I hope you cherish it!

Upon hearing this, He Yuzhu put it away and then said:

"Okay, don't worry, I'll keep it safe!"

When He Yuzhu opened it, he found a pair of silver bracelets. They looked very old, and in the eyes of ordinary people, such silver bracelets would be enough to be family heirlooms.

He Yuzhu knew his mother's belongings and didn't object to them. Instead, he put them away, planning to put them in his own space later.

He Daqing continued:

"I won't give you the money I have. I'm planning to find a matchmaker in a few days to introduce me to a wife. What do you think?"

Chapter 80: Killing a Transmigrator

Hearing He Daqing say that, He Yuzhu's face darkened. This old man is really unreliable.

He's only been back for less than a day, and he's already thinking about his wife.

However, He Yuzhu didn't say anything. He just wanted He Daqing to find a wife, move out, or live his own life.

I'm at ease, after all, He Daqing is not even forty years old yet, it wouldn't be right for him not to remarry.

He Yuzhu nodded:

"Fine, you can do whatever you want. Find yourself a wife if you want, but you can keep your own money!"

He Daqing nodded sullenly, then said:

"Silly Zhu, how about I get married in your compound?"

He Yuzhu rolled his eyes and then said:

"Not good. If you want to find a wife, you should go somewhere else. Think about how old all the young women are these days."

She's not much older than me. If we were to go on a blind date, who do you think would agree to marry you after seeing me?

I'll be eighteen after the New Year. What will you do if I don't agree then?

Nobody would stand to see their married son being the same age as them.

You agree, right? So you should go out and experience life on your own; that way you might find a suitable wife.

But I'm warning you, don't go looking for widows. If you go and help someone else with a relationship, don't come back!

He Daqing nodded. Ever since he learned that he could find virgins, he stopped pursuing widows.

They're all men, and He Daqing isn't some traitor like Cao Cao. Who would prefer a second-hand man if they already have a first-hand one?

Upon hearing He Yuzhu's words, He Daqing knew that if someone like him were to go on a blind date in front of He Yuzhu, the blind date would definitely prefer his son and not him.

He would be completely lost then, and He Daqing nodded:

"Okay, if I succeed in this blind date, I'll go back to live here!"

Upon hearing He Daqing's words, He Yuzhu frowned. Those people in the courtyard?

He Yuzhu said:

15 “I went to Hongbinlou. Yi Zhonghai came to Hongbinlou to look for me. I told him that I had gone to Tianjin to learn a craft.”

You went with the rain, and since you're going back, you should say the same thing.

If you want to see rain, you're on vacation now, just come to my place.

I'm not going back. If I go back, I'll be plotted against again. You too, be careful, Yi Zhonghai.

When you get back, do you know what to say?
