Siheyuan (courtyard house): My name is Shazhu!

When the property was divided, the more than 42 million yuan in savings shocked everyone in the courtyard, including Liu Haizhong, who was not at work and was just watching the spectacle.

Yan Bugui went to work, and Xu Fugui went to show movies; neither of them lived in the courtyard. Perhaps, only their savings exceeded Yi Zhonghai's. The deaf old lady is excluded; her wealth might be even greater, it's uncertain.

Young Xu Damao skipped school to watch the commotion in the crowd, which led to him and his father taking revenge on Yi Zhonghai.

He Yuzhu didn't go out, so he couldn't see the expressions on the faces of the people in the compound, but he knew they would have all sorts of thoughts of envy, jealousy, and hatred.

After the property was divided, the two left the courtyard to resign, and then everyone in the courtyard dispersed to do their own thing.

"Brother, Yi Zhonghai has a lot of money. If I had that much money, I wouldn't have to work so hard. I would buy you lots and lots of delicious food," He Yushui said as she returned to the house.

"Haha. Thank you, rain. If you want to be rich, you need to study hard and get a good job when you grow up. Only when you have a high income will you be rich."

You can buy your brother delicious food, but he still has to work. I'm not very old, and I can't just stay at home and wait for the rains to nourish me. You're still a child, so it's you who needs to be raised.

"Yeah?"

"You'll understand when you grow up."

"Okay. My brother can work, and I'll buy him some good food: fried chicken, fries, meat buns, and meat."

What did He Yushui say she wanted to buy? All her favorite foods. Very good, she knows to buy herself good food; it's worth being good to her.

He Yushui's performance still needs to be observed.

As the two were talking, the deaf old woman appeared at the door.

"Old deaf lady, is there something you need?" He Yuzhu walked to the door of the house but did not say that he was welcome to come in.

"They don't want me to go in." The deaf old lady was shrewd and experienced.

"I don't really want to. You and Yi Zhonghai are getting too close. I find Yi Zhonghai annoying. We just live in the same compound; we have no other relationship."

"That's true. I'm not going in. I've known Xiao Yi for a long time, but I never expected him to be this kind of person."

"I'll ask you one question: Did you do this to send Xiao Yi to jail and force them to divorce?" The deaf old woman looked directly into He Yuzhu's eyes.

He Yuzhu looked directly at the deaf old woman and replied, "No. If I had known about this, I would have exposed him six months ago."

I will expose him to his face, not through anyone else. Yi Zhonghai should come out and tell him, "Be honest, stop spouting your grand principles, they're annoying."

"It wasn't you after all. Thank you for telling me the truth. I guessed who it was. Want to know?"

He Yuzhu shook his head. "I don't want to. Who it is has nothing to do with me."

The deaf old woman was taken aback. She hadn't expected that He Yuzhu wouldn't want to know who it was, leaving her speechless.

"I don't want to know. Never mind, I'll go back and not disturb your studies." The deaf old lady didn't say anything else.

.......

"That bastard Yi Zhonghai, I never imagined he was so rich. He worked for twenty years and still has over forty million in savings. He's the richest person in the courtyard house."

"Rich man is also heartless and should be shot. Tan Guilan is so unlucky to have married a man who has been lying to her all along."

"Yi Zhonghai should be executed. Even if he settles things privately with Tan Guilan, it'll probably cost him a lot of money. That guy is too rich. Maybe we should just go out and do odd jobs?"

"Yi Zhonghai is rich, but that has nothing to do with us. We're all destined to be poor; we'd better go and do odd jobs to earn money."

The Jia family!

"...Xiao Jia, who is this Yi Zhonghai? He's incredibly rich, and his morals are utterly depraved. He lied to his woman for over ten years just to protect his reputation. What kind of person is he?"

"This kind of person will deceive anyone for their own benefit." The woman serving Jia Dongxu had become quite familiar with him within a month.

"He had a very good relationship with my dad, and he was even my mentor at the factory. I never expected things to turn out like this." Jia Dongxu was also still shaken; he couldn't disbelieve what the woman said.

"He's actually your master. Be careful of him in the future."

"I will."

Before 10 a.m., Tan Guilan and Yi Zhonghai returned to the Intermediate People's Court. Tan Guilan walked in front, head held high and chest out, her resentment gone, a smile on her face.

Yi Zhonghai followed five steps behind, head down, sighing. Gone was his former upright demeanor, his hands behind his back, his head held high, his haughty air.

He Yuzhu was jumping rope with He Yu in the courtyard, and he could see them clearly.

"Aunt Tan is back. Everything's been taken care of."

"Hello, Aunt Tan." He Yushui greeted Tan Guilan.

"Zhu Zi, Yu Shui, hello. Things are settled now. We'll split up the family property later. I need your help with something else later." Tan Guilan still had something to ask of her.

"Okay, I was home this morning." Tan Guilan was already divorced, so He Yuzhu no longer considered her an 'enemy'.

See you later.

Not long after, the sound of items being divided could be heard coming from Yi Zhonghai's house.

A short while later, Tan Guilan came out of her house, carrying a package. "Zhuzi, I need to tell you something. I need your help. We'll go to your house to talk."

"Rain, play by yourself for a while."

"Brother, you go ahead and do your work. I'll play by myself."

"Aunt Tan, what's the matter?" He Yuzhu asked as they returned to the room.

"Zhu Zi, it's like this: in order to keep his job and stop smashing rocks, Yi Zhonghai gave me all the money he had. I'll get a million a year until I get married, or maybe for twenty years."

I have nowhere to put this money and gold, so I'd like you to keep it for me first. I'll take it back once I find a place to put it.

"Aunt Tan trusts me so much, aren't you afraid I'll embezzle it for you?" He Yuzhu joked unconsciously.

"I've watched you grow up since you were a child. You're different from other kids. You won't take other people's money. You like to hit people, but you're not a black-hearted person."

"I used my fists to punch away the bad things that were bothering me, so my heart wouldn't be so dark."

"Aunt Tan, you don't need to keep your money with me. Deposit it in the bank. Leave the gold and silver dollars with me. You can take them when you have time, but keep them safe." It feels good to be trusted.

"Zhu Zi, can I deposit my money in the bank? It's not that it's unsafe, or that money loses value."

Sigh, people still don't trust our banks. It's no wonder; ordinary people either don't have money, or they're like Yi Zhonghai and He Daqing, hoarding it at home. Money was so cheap a few years ago, everyone was afraid.

"Aunt Tan, think about it, if money loses value, won't the money in your own hands also lose value? We should trust the government. It's okay to deposit it in the bank. Let's deposit it together in a bit. I also have some money to deposit."

I just heard a few days ago that banks offer very high interest rates on deposits, which is a great deal.

A one-year fixed deposit with a term of 49 years has an interest rate of 252%, which is a response to the monetary policy of the previous years. Last year, the fixed deposit interest rate was 34.8%, and in March of this year it was 45.6%, so interest rates may decrease.

"This shows that the economy is stable, public security has stabilized, and the country is no longer in chaos. Even if interest rates drop further, we will still have money to earn," He Yuzhu said with a smile.

"You really do have money, it's what your father left you." Women see things from a different perspective; they say saving money has nothing to do with the Qing Dynasty.

"Twenty million, I'll deposit fifteen million."

"Your father left behind a lot of money, and you didn't tell anyone so you could see the people in the compound clearly. Don't worry, Zhu Zi, I won't tell anyone." "Tan Guilan is also very clever."

"I'm not afraid to say this, and I'm not worried about it getting out. I've basically figured out what's going on with everyone in the compound."
