Siheyuan: Rebirth of He Yuzhu, God of Cooking starts

"Zhu Zi, Dad..." Chen Xueru lost her usual spirit, like a frightened white swan, and suddenly looked much more haggard.

Seeing this scene, He Yuzhu felt extremely heartbroken.

He hugged Chen Xueru tightly and patted her back to comfort her. "Now is not the time to cry. Although uncle is gone, we are all very sad."

"You need to be strong. Your uncle's affairs and the Chen family all need you to bear. Once you collapse, the whole family will fall apart."

Chen Xueru sniffed, tears welling up in her eyes, her eyelids swollen from sadness: "I will hold on."

"Tell me the story!"

"I was robbed!" Chen Xueru said in tears.

He Yuzhu was a little surprised: "Didn't I give your uncle a weapon?"

Chen Xueru shook her head and said, "I think there might be an internal enemy!"

"Otherwise, why would we be attacked out of the blue?"

He Yuzhu thought about it and nodded: "It is very likely."

“Is the loss big?”

Chen Xueru said angrily: "It's not too big, I was just afraid of other accidents, so I didn't even bring cash."

"Just some deposit."

"If people get hurt and property is damaged, it means the whole family is ruined."

"At least the wealth was preserved, so the family wouldn't fall into chaos after my uncle left."

"Now we should consider the follow-up!"

He Yuzhu said: "It is very difficult to investigate uncle's case. After all, it has been too long and it is difficult to find useful clues. Moreover, those people ran away after stealing the things."

"Where can I find him in this vast sea of ​​people?"

It's as unlikely as looking for a needle in an ocean!

Chen Xueru said at this time: "Zhu Zi, Auntie has already asked someone to notify the people in the countryside."

He Yuzhu immediately understood what he said.

"Xue Ru, no matter what, he is a member of the family, the eldest son and grandson."

"You are the eldest brother, and his memorial service will always be needed. I think it is better to separate the family."

"Separation?" Chen Xueru was surprised.

"Wouldn't I be at a loss then?"

He Yuzhu comforted her: "As long as I am here, the Chen family can never dominate alone. It is right to divide it into three parts."

"I can easily deal with your eldest brother's condition, but what are you going to do about my second brother?" He Yuzhu asked.

Chen Xueru replied: "I don't know either."

"You should discuss with your mother how to live in the future even if the family is not officially separated."

"Arguing every day will only bring shame upon ourselves," He Yuzhu continued.

"And I think you should let your second brother take your mother away and change the environment."

Chen Xueru asked doubtfully: "Leaving here?"

"That's right, run away!" He Yuzhu said with emphasis.

"Doesn't he love learning? Then send him abroad to study and let him leave with the family savings."

“The ideal scenario would be to come back in 30 years.”

Hearing this, Chen Xueru was puzzled: "Why did you let my second brother and my mother leave?"

"There's no need to delve into this question. I'm just guessing. Some things can't be said explicitly. But if my premonition comes true, it will bring a doomsday disaster to the Chen family."

"Honestly speaking, I don't have the confidence or ability to shelter such a large family. Letting them go is the best option for them."

"You may not realize it yet, but this is indeed very serious. Otherwise, I would not want to separate you and your daughter."

"Besides, when they do come back in the future, it doesn't necessarily mean they will be gone forever."

At this time, Chen Xueru was not the strong woman she would be in the future. She listened to He Yuzhu's words and relied on his decisions.

He Yuzhu knew that in thirty years his mother would be in her seventies or eighties, and if her health was no longer as good as before, it would be difficult for her to return to her hometown.

Chen Xueru said firmly: "I will never give up my business to anyone!"

He Yuzhu advised: "Xueru, I told you earlier that the Chen family's business cannot be saved. I can only provide emergency assistance, but I can't solve the root cause."

Chen Xueru only kept the cloth shop at home: "Okay, we'll talk about it later!"

He Yuzhu stayed alone in the hall drinking tea, while Chen Xueru went to the backyard to talk to her mother and second brother.

She asked: "Mom, brother, what do you think of this situation?"

Chen Qingsong revealed his feelings: "My father passed away. As a son, I should support the family, but my heart is in books and I don't want to take on such a heavy responsibility."

Mother Chen was worried: "What I am concerned about is the return of my eldest son."

Chen Xueru was full of confidence: "Don't worry, Zhuzi said he would stand up."

"He can easily deal with the eldest wife."

But Zhuzi also had something to say: "Without my father, the Chen family seems to have broken up. He asked us to separate."

Chen Qingsong was surprised: "Divide the family? Will they agree?"

Chen Xueru's tone left no room for doubt: "It's not up to them to decide."

"Brother, since you like studying, take mom to study abroad after we separate."

Chen Qingsong was worried about his sister's safety: "If I leave, how can I feel at ease leaving you alone in this world? Mom is not young anymore, don't let her suffer anymore."

Chen Xueru explained: "I am thinking about you."

"The pillar means..."

Chen Qingsong expressed doubts: "At present, there are no obvious signs."

Chen Xueru firmly believed: "I believe Zhuzi, he will not deliberately harm us. Moreover, he and I...he is the kind of person who will not hurt us."

Hearing this, Chen's mother could only sigh: "You two brothers and sisters..."

Let’s not talk about other things for now, let’s first resolve the issue of sending old man Chen Gen back to his hometown for burial.”

"This is a tricky matter!" Chen Xueru said worriedly.

"The transfer certificate is not difficult to get, but the journey is so long, it is impossible to transport it the entire way by horse carriage," Chen's mother added.

"In addition, you are in control of the business and finances now, so you have to be tough when the time comes to divide the property," He Yuzhu suggested.

Chen Xueru nodded and replied: "I know, I will do as you wish!"

He Yuzhu asked: "Have you arranged everything?"

Chen Xueru confirmed: "Yes, it's all settled."

"Xue Ru, don't make a fuss about funerals. Times have changed. Feudal superstition is not acceptable."

Chen Xueru smiled bitterly and nodded: "I understand."

"When my eldest brother comes back, I will send my father back to his hometown." He Yuzhu planned, "I will hire a carriage, and the eldest wife will also come back to the village, and they will handle these matters. When the family is divided, don't give them money at the beginning. If they don't do a good job, they are not allowed to take any money!"

At night, He Yuzhu returned home.

Because he and Chen Xueru haven't officially gotten married yet, their statuses are not completely suitable.

"Jingru, I will send someone to take you back tomorrow," he said to her.

Qin Jingru looked a little pitiful and asked: "Brother Zhuzi, I really don't want to go back."

He Yuzhu explained, "I'll let you come and play with Yushui next time when you're free. I've been busy lately, and Yushui will be back to school soon. You must be attracted by the current prosperity, but you still have to go back for a while."
