The Courtyard House: He Yuzhu, Who Defied Fate

He Daqing nodded:

"I know. I've been married to Widow Bai for two years, but she hasn't given me any children. I didn't want to make things worse, so I got a divorce and came back."

As for you, you'll be away learning to cook for several years before you can come back!

He Yuzhu nodded:

"Okay, that works too. Let's talk about it after the New Year. Anyway, it's less than a month until then."

After you go back home after the New Year, go find a matchmaker yourself, give her more money, and she can help you find a good girl.

If it's okay, then we'll get married. It doesn't matter if you treat me well or not, but you must treat my sister well.

Otherwise, don't blame me for not giving you face!

Upon hearing He Yuzhu's words, He Daqing knew that He Yuzhu was doing much better than him now.

She knew she would have to rely on her son when she got old, so she didn't dare to contradict He Yuzhu.

And since he had always doted on He Yu, he nodded:

"I am very sure of that!"

He Yuzhu nodded:

"Okay, it's good that you know what's going on, so I won't say anything more."

Okay, get some rest. I have things to do tomorrow. I'll get you a bicycle tomorrow, and you can go buy some things you need!

He Yuzhu doesn't have any daily necessities yet. Apart from treasures, antiques, money, food, meat, and oil, there isn't much else stored in He Yuzhu's space.

After all, meat and oil are readily available now, but in two years, once rationing is implemented, you won't be able to buy these things even if you have the money.

However, in this day and age, lard is still the most common oil, while vegetable oil is expensive and hard to find.

Therefore, He Yuzhu's space contains approximately three thousand catties of lard.

Anyway, the things in the space won't break. Whatever you put in, will come out the same way.

Therefore, He Yuzhu did not control the quantity; he kept whatever he had.

Looking at He Yu's clothes and her own, she decided to save more fabric for herself.

However, He Yuzhu has not yet found anyone who sells fabric privately, since he is just a cook.

I haven't met any reliable fabric sellers yet.

With this in mind, He Yuzhu decided to go and take a look in the next few days.

The next day

He Daqing had just woken up and was getting ready to cook a meal for his two children.

I saw He Yuzhu and He Yu practicing standing meditation outside. Don't let He Yu's young age and chubby appearance fool you; she stands very well.

Then He Yuzhu took He Yu to practice the techniques and fighting methods. As for the performance techniques, He Yuzhu was in no hurry to teach He Yu. Right now, the priority was to ensure He Yu's safety.

At this moment, He Daqing came out and asked He Yuzhu:

"Shazhu, what are you and Yu doing?"

He Yuzhu said:

"I've taken a grandmaster of Chinese martial arts as my apprentice, and I'm teaching Yu martial arts now. The world is too chaotic right now, and I want to give Yu the ability to protect herself!"

Hearing He Yuzhu's words, He Daqing did not object, and then said:

"Alright, you two keep practicing, I'll go make you two breakfast!"

He Yuzhu shook his head:

"No need, I've already prepared everything. We can eat together after we're both done!"

He Daqing remained silent after hearing He Yuzhu's words.

After finishing, the family of three ate breakfast, and He Yuzhu said:

"Dad, you stay home with Yu, I'm going out for a bit!"

Before He Daqing could ask what he was going to do, He Yuzhu had already ridden his bicycle out.

Watching He Yuzhu leave, He Daqing asked He Yu:

"Rain, where did your brother go?"

He Yu shook her head:

"I don't know, why bother with all that? As long as there's good food every day, that's all that matters!"

Hearing He Yu's words, He Daqing didn't know what to say.

However, He Yu didn't take this matter to heart.

He Yuzhu opened his email and looked at the address. This time, the house was actually in Zhengyangmen.

Now He Yuzhu knows that the butcher Zhang always puts the items in different places, not for secrecy, but for convenience.

However, He Yuzhu still went to Zhengyangmen and arrived at the address.

He Yuzhu didn't pay attention to his surroundings and quickly put all the meat away.

Unexpectedly, this butcher Zhang actually gave him two cows this time.

After He Yuzhu put it away, he was about to leave when he heard a voice:

"Xueru, please say yes!"

"Third Brother Hou, please, I can't do it, I'm still young, please don't do this, okay?"

Hou Sange:

"Xue Ru, believe me, I'm not a bad person. Oh, how can I explain this to you?"

You must believe me, I come from the future, I am from the future, and my current identity is indeed that of an enemy agent.

But I definitely won't do this job as an enemy agent.

It's only been 55 years now. It should open in 7 or 8 years, and then I'll take you to make a fortune.

"It'll be like finding money on the street; I promise I'll make you happy!"

Xueru:

"Brother Hou, are you confused? Don't worry, if you let me go, I promise I won't tell anyone that you're an enemy agent."

Please, please, let me go!

Hou Sange:

"Chen Xueru, you don't believe what I'm saying, do you? This is what I've been organizing these past few days. All of this is in preparation for what happened."

Now I'm handing this over to you, and I'm telling you that in two years, a second set of currency will be issued.

The exchange rate is 10,000 to 1, meaning 10,000 yuan can be exchanged for one yuan.

Prices will drop then, and the current economy will revert to a planned economy.

"You'll need coupons to buy things then, so even if you have money, you won't be able to buy anything!"

……

Upon hearing this, He Yuzhu was surprised to learn that this Third Brother Hou was actually a time traveler.

And to make matters worse, he was transported to the past and became an enemy agent. What good end could an enemy agent possibly have in this era?

Hou San? Hou Kui?

Could it be that Chen Xueru's runaway ex-husband is actually this Hou San?

Moreover, it was forced. No wonder Chen Xueru never mentioned her ex-husband in the original TV series.

Turns out he was an enemy spy!

A notebook, for recording major future events?

No wonder this petite woman can always grasp the pulse of the times and become a powerful woman.

It's important to understand that Chen Xueru's background wasn't the best in this era, yet she always managed to get through every incident unscathed.

Moreover, her eventual rise to become a powerful woman is not unrelated to Hou San.

With guidance from someone from the future, even a pig can fly.

It seems that Chen Xueru hasn't been harmed by Hou San since I arrived here.

Just as He Yuzhu was thinking, he heard Hou Sange say:

"Xueru, you have to trust me. Don't worry, I'll be very gentle..."

Chen Xueru exclaimed "Ah!" and was about to shout, when she heard a whimpering sound.

He Yuzhu knew that his mouth was being covered.

He Yuzhu put away his bicycle, then used a leaping technique to cross the yard and rush directly into the house from which the sound came from.

Bang!

He Yuzhu kicked the door open.
