Siheyuan (courtyard house): My name is Shazhu!

He Yuzhu was unaware of the conversation between the deaf old lady and Yi Zhonghai, and even if he knew, he wouldn't care about Yi Zhonghai.

In He Yuzhu's view, no matter how powerful Yi Zhonghai and Jia Zhangshi become in the future, he himself is the core figure of the 'retirement group'.

Without his military strength, it's impossible for them to get everyone to listen to them and support the Jia family with their own money, especially since Xu Damao wouldn't agree to it.

With Xu Damao leading the way, it's impossible for the already impoverished residents of the courtyard to completely submit to Yi Zhonghai, especially since Liu Haizhong is also watching closely behind Yi Zhonghai.

They can't cause any trouble. Tan Guilan has already betrayed them. If the deaf old lady dares to spread the story that she gave away straw sandals again, she'll be dealt with severely.

The story of Yi Zhonghai deceiving his wife for nearly twenty years spread very quickly in the Nanluoguxiang area.

The next day, when the fourth senior brother went to work at the restaurant, he knew that it was his fourth senior sister-in-law who had heard about this at home and told him, so he came to He Yuzhu to verify it.

"This is true. My sister-in-law was wrong about the 14 million yuan she mentioned in the family division; she said 10 million more. Everything else is completely correct. Just a little exaggeration; the amount is a bit off."

The fourth master could only sigh with deep emotion: "Zhuzi, your courtyard is full of talented people. There are too many talented people in one courtyard. These kinds of talents are not common."

Fighting and brawling are common occurrences, as is the exploitation of the widowed. In your courtyard houses, why would a man, knowing full well what's going on, deceive his wife? He's not a human being.

He Yuzhu had no way to refute it and could only remain silent. There were indeed not many normal people in the courtyard, but there would be more in the future.

After asking his question, the fourth senior brother didn't mention the matter again, but instead brought up the issue of public security in Nanluoguxiang.

Last night, someone was kidnapped again. The military control commission only had one platoon of soldiers, which was far too few to cover the entire Nanluoguxiang area.

Only by mobilizing the limited number of factory militia members available now, things will improve in a year or two. The three of us still need to be careful when leaving get off work.

In the city, it takes time for factories to establish militias. The establishment of militias also represents the transfer of power from the military control commission to the Yanjing municipal government.

It should have been around 53 that the Military Control Commission withdrew from Yanjing, and the government took over various tasks. There was still a long time to go.

When the people at the restaurant heard the fourth apprentice talking about deceiving his wife, the kitchen staff sighed but didn't pay much attention. It had nothing to do with He Yuzhu and wasn't worth worrying about.

Only Fifth Brother and Brother Gui thought Yi Zhonghai was a bastard because he had so much money that he could buy so many different kinds of snacks.

It's normal for two people with no income to care about money, especially since they wanted to eat snacks a few more times after they had already eaten them.

A calm and peaceful job.

The courtyard house had become peaceful. Yan Bugui was also in the front yard, trying to blend in. The weather wasn't cold, and chatting with others was a good way to pass the time.

When He Yuzhu got off work, he was often seen chatting and bragging in the front yard. He was completely different from how he appeared in TV dramas; he was just an ordinary resident of a courtyard house.

A week later, Jia Dongxu, leaning on crutches, began to move around in the Intermediate People's Court. His arms and legs were almost healed.

She was still involved with Yi Zhonghai. This time, Tan Guilan saw it but didn't try to stop her, as her life had nothing to do with Yi Zhonghai.

She treated He Yuzhu and his sister very well, and as for the other people in the compound, she maintained the same attitude as before, focusing on one thing and avoiding offending anyone.

He only paid attention to Yi Zhonghai and Jia Dongxu. He could still say a few words to Yi Zhonghai, but he completely ignored Jia Dongxu.

When Jia Dongxu greeted them, he was met with disdainful looks. After a few times, he realized that people didn't want to talk to him.

Tan Cuilan said that the deaf old lady had not contacted her in the past week.

The deaf old lady is in good health and doesn't seem to be in a hurry to be taken care of.

Jia Dongxu hated He Yuzhu intensely. He had sent his own mother to be smashed with stones, which was unforgivable, even though he wasn't the robber.

Every time He Yuzhu saw Jia Dongxu's fiery eyes, she would give him a contemptuous look, and the two siblings would give him two middle fingers pointing to the sky, not even willing to say a word to him, which was beneath them.

Jia Dongxu could only rage in vain. He was powerless against He Yuzhu and his sister. He could only find someone to deal with them after Jia Zhangshi was released from prison, as he didn't have much money.

The saying that Jia Dongxu harbored deep hatred for his brother and sister and was a good-for-nothing hiding behind their mother was already widely circulated in the steel rolling mill.

Not only Yi Zhonghai's reputation, but also his own reputation is very bad. After his leg heals and he goes back to work, the factory workers may not know what to say about him.

The item was too small to see, and these words hadn't reached his ears yet. Otherwise, he would have hated the robbers to death, and even more so He Yuzhu and his sister.

He was penniless, his arms and legs were broken, but his body was perfectly healthy, so he still couldn't beat He Yuzhu.

Yi Zhonghai also told him to be patient and not to provoke the brother and sister anymore; he needed to stay calm for now.

Seeing that the courtyard was safe, He Yuzhu began to live in the house under Zhengyang Gate.

If you don't want food to appear out of thin air, you can't cook in the system space either. For He Yushui, it's the same as conjuring ingredients out of thin air.

The courtyard house at Zhengyangmen is just right; he can rest there twice a week in the evenings without affecting his ability to change his destiny. Returning to the courtyard house at night has even less of an impact.

As for how to change his fate, He Yuzhu didn't understand either; the system had the final say.

"Brother, whose yard is this? Are we staying here?" He Yushui was very happy to hear that they were going to play in the big yard.

"We won't stay here. We'll cook here, make delicious food, and then go back to the courtyard house after we eat. There are too many poor people there, and too many people are watching us."

This is a courtyard house, each with its own entrance and private quarters. They're not watching us. My brother is practicing cooking surgery, so we can eat some good ingredients.

"While I'm cooking, you can play in the yard, or go outside and play with other people nearby," He Yuzhu explained.

"Yeah, there'll be good food. But in the courtyard, someone will be watching us. It's Yi Zhonghai and Jia Dongxu again. When I'm a little older, I'll beat them to death."

"From now on, we'll come over on Monday mornings, have dinner, and then go back. It's hot in the summer, but cool in the evenings. We'll also come over on days when we get off work early."

"Don't tell anyone about the rain, not even the people at the restaurant," He Yuzhu instructed.

"Brother, I won't tell anyone."

"It's not a big deal if I let it slip. My brother is looking after a house for someone, so he can't tell us what we're eating."

"Okay, I understand. I'll go out and play with other people when they have their holidays."

My brother and I are learning to cook. From now on, I'll cook and my brother will eat. He Yushui is very sensible.

Here, He Yuzhu plans to make boiled cabbage in clear broth, Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, and Tan Family Cuisine in several batches. These dishes are not popular.

As for 'ordinary dishes' like twice-cooked pork and Mapo tofu, they can be made back in the courtyard house; and if you have money, you can buy meat.

Working at a restaurant makes buying meat even easier.

At the end of June, another 'Power Pill' was dissolved in the spring water and He Yushui slowly ingested it, which will increase her strength by another 100 kilograms. When she grows up, she will also be a 'tough girl' with extraordinary strength.

In early July, Jia Dongxu went to work. A few days later, He Yuzhu and his sister came home from get off work.

Jia Dongxu stood by his window, staring intently at the brother and sister, his eyes burning like fire. His eyes were like a stove; he expected flames to erupt from them.

Jia Dongxu was furious, but he was met with two raised fingers. He probably didn't see the disdainful looks from He Yuzhu and his sister.

Damn it, I don't care if I can't see your stuff. That was done by robbers. What does it have to do with me, He Yuzhu?

Neither the brother nor sister cared about a clown who could only wreak havoc in vain.
