Courtyard House: Is Xu Damao a childless man? Let me help.

This made Qin Huairu feel a little flattered. Of course, although the courtyard was bought, she would have to find a new way to furnish it.

Because the old man who sold the quilts didn't actually live here all the time; after he bought the courtyard, he basically used it as a warehouse.

So apart from a small, broken bed and a small, broken table in the main house, there was basically no other furniture in the entire courtyard.

So although they've already acquired the courtyard, it will probably take some time before they can actually make use of it. However, Ye Jianchuan and Qin Huairu don't mind waiting a little longer.

Anyway, every day after get off work, the two of them would pick up Xiaodang and Xiaohuaihua together, and then go to the nearby scrap yard to look around and get some unwanted furniture to repair.

We assemble a few pieces of furniture each day before going back to the courtyard house for a meal. Although it's a bit more tiring than before, at least we have a goal to strive for.

Of course, it wasn't just Ye Jianchuan and Qin Huairu who knew where this little courtyard was. Lou Xiao'e would come over from time to time during the day, and even the people that the Lou family had hired would come over from time to time.

After all... in the beginning, the Lou family paid for this courtyard and registered it under Qin Huairu's name because they wanted to hide all their antiques and paintings here!

Chapter 122 Sha Zhu has been fooled again.

Of course, it's not that the Lou family has so many assets that it would require so many trips back and forth, but rather that there are people watching the Lou family's neighborhood, so if you want to transfer assets on a large scale, it's basically impossible.

That's why the Lou family simply chose a method of "ants moving house," inviting a few trusted people to their home every day and having them take away some easily portable items.

For example, some jewelry, gold bars, calligraphy and paintings, and ancient books, but for larger items, Director Lou will have to find a way to get them himself.

Moreover, in order to avoid causing unnecessary trouble, these people would not go directly to the courtyard after taking the items. Instead, they would go back to their own homes and then have someone else take the items to the courtyard.

This increases the privacy of the courtyard, making these things safer.

Ye Jianchuan goes to the courtyard every day, and besides arranging furniture, he naturally goes to deal with these valuables.

Without a system, there really isn't a good way to deal with these things. At most, you could dig a large cellar and hide all these things inside.

However, if Ye Jianchuan were to take action, none of these things would be a problem. With a casual wave of his hand, he could directly store these things in his storage space, and no one would be able to find them!

However, to Ye Jianchuan's surprise, after staying at home for a day, Lou Xiao'e's attitude towards him started to change when he returned the next day.

Ye Jianchuan didn't think he had offended Lou Xiao'e in any way, but he could still clearly sense that Lou Xiao'e was avoiding something.

Unfortunately, Ye Jianchuan didn't consider all that at the time; otherwise, he would definitely have been able to figure out the key point.

Ye Jianchuan and the others have been behaving normally these past few days, but Sha Zhu has been having a bit of a rough time, as things haven't been going very well for him.

Although I'm about to go on a blind date with the person my third uncle introduced me to, the old lady in the backyard found me yesterday and we had a chat. And that chat got me all involved.

Finally, under the guidance of the deaf old lady, Sha Zhu, although still somewhat unwilling, reconciled with Uncle Yi!

Although this was only a superficial reconciliation, the relationship between the two could never be the same as before. But for Mr. Yi and the deaf old lady, this was enough.

Because in this way, Uncle Yi will have a chance to further implement his plan to sabotage Sha Zhu's blind date!

And because Sha Zhu actually 'forgave' Uncle Yi, He Yushui once again labeled Sha Zhu as a fool. There's nothing he can do; this guy really does sometimes lack a bit of common sense.

On this very day, after tidying up the small courtyard for a while, Ye Jianchuan and Qin Huairu returned to the courtyard house with two maids.

Qin Huairu took the two maids back to the backyard to cook, while Ye Jianchuan went straight to Sha Zhu's room.

"Brother Zhu! I need to trouble you again! It's still hospitality, but this time it's not as troublesome as last time, you don't need to prepare anything in advance."

"How about you prepare lunch for the workers at the steel rolling mill a little early, and then come directly to the food factory to find me?"

As soon as Ye Jianchuan entered, he went straight to the point and explained his purpose. However, Sha Zhu didn't react at all, sitting silently on the bed, seemingly lost in thought.

Ye Jianchuan was taken aback when Sha Zhu didn't respond. He then patted Sha Zhu on the shoulder and asked, "Brother Zhu? What's wrong? It's not bedtime yet, and you're already daydreaming?"

Normally, Sha Zhu and Ye Jianchuan would have been joking around, but this time, Sha Zhu looked worried, which startled Ye Jianchuan.

"Brother Zhu... what's wrong with you? You look so miserable, what trouble have you run into?"

Sha Zhu shook his head, then pretended nothing was wrong. "Xiao Ye, I'll take care of what you just said. I'll cook the big batch of vegetables a little earlier tomorrow at noon, and then I'll come to your food factory to find you!"

Don't worry! This absolutely won't involve you!

But Ye Jianchuan knew that Sha Zhu's behavior definitely didn't seem like someone who was alright. "Brother Zhu, we're all on the same side, so just say what's on your mind."

"What, are you afraid I'll spread your secrets? Tell me! What's wrong? I'll give you some advice."

While Sha Zhu was still hesitating, unsure whether to speak, He Yushui came out of the next room and came to Ye Jianchuan's side.

"What else could it be? Some people just don't learn their lesson and inexplicably reconciled with that hypocritical guy again!"

Upon hearing He Yushui's words, Ye Jianchuan turned to look at Sha Zhu in surprise, only to find Sha Zhu awkwardly lowering his head, not saying a word.

Seeing this, Ye Jianchuan knew that He Yushui was definitely not lying, so he immediately asked her questions.

"Rain, what's going on with this? Tell me in detail?"

"I don't know the specifics, but I know that Aunt Yi came over to my silly brother that day and said that the old lady wanted to eat the dishes my brother made."

... ...

So my brother cooked a meal for the old lady and had dinner with her. When he came back, I heard him say that he and Uncle Yi had reconciled.

I just had a fight with him about this!

Upon hearing that the old lady had stepped forward, Ye Jianchuan immediately became alert. Although others might not know, Ye Jianchuan was certain that the old lady and Uncle Yi were definitely in cahoots!

So Ye Jianchuan quickly turned to look at Sha Zhu and asked, "Brother Zhu, is what Yu Shui said true?"

Sha Zhu nodded. "Sigh, I'm struggling with this issue too! Logically speaking, I shouldn't forgive Yi Zhonghai for what happened between us."

And I still hadn't forgiven him in my heart, but the old lady had spoken up, and I didn't know what to do, so I could only reluctantly agree.

"At worst, we can just treat him like a stranger from now on. That way, even if we nominally forgive him, nothing will actually change. It'll just put the old lady at ease."

However, Ye Jianchuan gleaned some insight from this. How could Uncle Yi and the old lady not know about Sha Zhu's thoughts?

If Sha Zhu could think of this, then the two of them certainly could too. So what's the point of this reconciliation?

After much thought, Ye Jianchuan concluded that aside from the fact that Uncle Yi could still appear as Sha Zhu's 'elder,' this matter seemed to have no other significance.

Chapter 123 Silly Pillar's Blind Date

Wait a minute!! If he appears as Sha Zhu's 'elder'... then when Sha Zhu goes on a blind date, wouldn't Uncle Yi be able to legitimately appear in front of his blind date?

We can pretend to be friendly and chat about everyday things, but it shouldn't be too difficult to plant a couple of landmines and cause some trouble while we're chatting.

Thinking about this, Ye Jianchuan understood. So that's what Uncle Yi was planning!

Ye Jianchuan looked at Sha Zhu again and said, "Brother Zhu, since it's the old lady's idea, then you should do as she says. After all, it's only right to respect the elderly."

Besides, the old lady has been so good to you, isn't it normal for you to be filial to her?

The reason for saying this is that Ye Jianchuan knows that, given Sha Zhu's temperament, if he cannot produce something as shocking as the money that Uncle Yi received from He Daqing before, which he pretended to be his own money to help Sha Zhu, then he will be in trouble.

So no matter what he says, Sha Zhu's attitude towards the deaf old lady is unlikely to change.

Since the deaf old lady is usually very meticulous in her actions, and there's no solid evidence for Ye Jianchuan to use against her, since he can't change Sha Zhu's opinion of the old lady, he might as well not change it at all.

Anyway, just be more careful in everything. If the old lady is really eager to achieve results and does something particularly outrageous, then you won't need to do anything. Sha Zhu will naturally understand.

Besides, in Ye Jianchuan's opinion, compared to Uncle Yi, the old lady was not a particularly big threat. After all, even if an old lady is quite sharp, she still can't carry out her plan without help.

After saying that, Ye Jianchuan paused for a moment, then continued, "As for Uncle Yi... I think you should still be a little careful about your superficial reconciliation with him."

Okay, I'll talk to Uncle San later and we'll move your blind date a little earlier. You can go to the school after work tomorrow.

Qin Jie and I will also be there, since Xiao Dang and Huaihua are taking classes there. We'll have Uncle San introduce Teacher Ran to you directly, so you don't bring her to the courtyard house and have her and her ilk ruin it again.”

Upon hearing this, Sha Zhu nodded happily. "Hey!! Xiao Ye, you know what, I didn't even think of this before. We have to be careful of Xu Damao."

"Alright, go and tell Uncle San that if this works out, I'll definitely give him a big red envelope!"

Ye Jianchuan nodded, then invited He Yushui to go to the backyard for dinner.

After finishing his meal, Ye Jianchuan went to the front yard to greet Uncle San and specifically instructed him not to tell anyone else, including Aunt San and the others.

Although Uncle San and Aunt San had been together for decades and could talk about almost anything, Uncle San also knew what Ye Jianchuan meant. The old woman just couldn't control her mouth in the courtyard!

So Uncle San agreed without hesitation. After finishing these tasks, Ye Jianchuan went back to the backyard.

. . . . . .

The next day, everything went very smoothly. At noon, Sha Zhu came over and helped prepare a meal, which made Director Liu of the machine repair shop very satisfied.

Then Director Zhou took out the sandwich bread from the food factory and let Director Liu try it. After eating it, Director Liu was also very surprised.

Ye Jianchuan, who was standing nearby, took the opportunity to tell Liu, the factory manager, about the machine repair shop's plans to prepare for the New Year and distribute employee benefits, which he had "unintentionally inquired about" earlier. He then recommended the bread to Liu.

Upon hearing this, Director Liu immediately nodded in agreement!

After securing the order from the machine repair shop, Director Zhou was overjoyed and couldn't wait to promote Ye Jianchuan two levels.

Unfortunately, although Ye Jianchuan is exceptionally capable, his age is a factor, and he lacks sufficient seniority, so he cannot be promoted too quickly.

After taking care of this important matter at noon, the next thing to do is deal with the evening.

Sha Zhu was very serious about his blind date. After leaving the food factory at noon, he didn't go back to work at the steel rolling mill because he took a day off.

After leaving the food factory, he went home to tidy himself up. He washed his hair repeatedly and picked out a brand new outfit. It felt like he was going on a wedding rather than a blind date.

After preparing these things, Shazhu went to the department store and bought a girl's hair clip as a gift.

Of course, Ye Jianchuan taught him all of these, but Ye Jianchuan did not expect Sha Zhu to learn so quickly, and even apply what he learned to other situations.

After preparing all these things, Sha Zhu happily ran to the school gate and waited.

Not long after, school let out. As agreed, Uncle San came out early to inform Sha Zhu, and then went back into the school to find Teacher Ran.

Ye Jianchuan and Qin Huairu, wanting to see what was going on, rushed to the school immediately after work.

When Ye Jianchuan arrived at the school, he saw Third Uncle leading Teacher Ran out of the school.

"Teacher Ran, this 153 is Comrade He Yuzhu, whom I told you about before. He is now the head chef in the canteen of the steel rolling mill. His family has been farm laborers for three generations, so his class status is very good. He now earns 37.5 yuan a month."

"Zhu Zi! This is Teacher Ran from our school. She's currently teaching a primary school class. Her family are all intellectuals, and she earns twenty-five yuan a month."

After introducing themselves to each other, Uncle San pretended to check his watch and said, "Oh, I have some things to take care of at home, so I won't bother you any longer. You two can get to know each other and chat!"

After saying that, Uncle San turned around and walked over to Ye Jianchuan, joining the onlookers.
