Siheyuan: The rise and fall of the He family is our responsibility

At this time, He Yuzhu remained silent, allowing his sister to vent her grievances that she had suffered during this period by hugging him.

"Brother, my father abandoned me for a widow. You won't abandon me for another woman, will you?"

He Yushui raised her head and looked at He Yuzhu with tears in her eyes, like a puppy about to be abandoned, her eyes full of fear.

“How could that be?” He Yuzhu held He Yushui’s little face with both hands, rubbed it vigorously and said, “I can’t bear to abandon a sister as fun as you, wait until I get tired of playing with you.

But I will have to play with your soft little face for twenty years first, and before I get tired of playing with you, don't even think about escaping from me."

"Really... Umm...?"

"Of course it's true." He Yuzhu increased the strength of his hands, rubbing He Yushui's collagen-filled face until it turned red. "If I break my oath, let me be paralyzed in bed in my old age and finally freeze to death in the snow. What do you think?"

"Well, don't say that, brother." He Yushui broke free from his brother's clutches, jumped up and covered He Yuzhu's mouth, saying unhappily, "I believe you, don't say such unlucky words."

"This is not an ominous statement, it is the truth."

He Yuzhu touched He Yushui's little head and said with a smile: "It seems that my little princess is not sad anymore?"

"Hmph, since you swore an oath, I won't be sad, so as not to break your heart." He Yushui snorted coldly and turned her head away so that he wouldn't see her red face.

"Then can you tell your brother who told you that you are a burden?" He Yuzhu asked with a smile.

"No... no one. I was just thinking about it and no one told me." He Yushui said in a panic when he heard it.

"Oh, is that so? Okay, I understand."

After hearing this, He Yushui thought he had gotten away with it and felt relieved.

"By the way, Yushui, can you go back and help me light the stove? I need to cook when I get back."

"Okay! I'll go now." He Yushui felt guilty because he had lied. When he heard his brother assigning him a task, he immediately ran home like a gust of wind.

Watching He Yushui leave his sight, He Yuzhu could no longer maintain the smile on his face. He turned around, walked to the door of the deaf old lady, and pushed it open without saying hello.

Sure enough, at this time, the deaf old lady was sitting upright in a chair drinking tea, as if waiting for He Yuzhu.

Seeing He Yuzhu coming in, the deaf old lady did not panic, but greeted him with a smile: "Hey, isn't this my eldest grandson? Come and sit down, and tell grandma if you passed?"

But He Yuzhu seemed not to have heard what the deaf old lady said. He closed the door, walked up to the deaf old lady, and knelt down.

"Dong dong dong."

Simply kneeling down was not enough, he kowtowed three times. Judging from the force transmitted, these three kowtows were not perfunctory at all, and even the floor tiles were shaking.

"Hey, Zhuzi, what are you doing? Get up!"

The deaf old lady didn't expect He Yuzhu to do this, and immediately tried to pull He Yuzhu up from the ground in a panic.

But he didn't expect that she, an adult, couldn't even pull up the child He Yuzhu. At this moment, he seemed to have roots in his knees and didn't move at all despite the support of the deaf old lady.

"Grandma, don't move me first. Sit back and listen to me." He Yuzhu, with blood all over his face, pushed the deaf old lady away and said seriously.

"Okay, okay, grandma, I'll sit back down now. Can you bandage the wound first?"

Seeing the wound on He Yuzhu's forehead bleeding, the deaf old lady dared not disobey him and hurriedly sat back, but continued to persuade He Yuzhu to bandage the wound.

But He Yuzhu ignored the wound on his head, and instead said to himself: "Grandma, I have always seen how good you are to me. When my bastard dad was still alive, you kept secretly giving me snacks and pocket money.

A year ago, when my father took away all the family money and eloped with the White Widow, you took me and my sister in. Otherwise, we would have frozen to death that night. After all, freezing to death is a very painful way to die. There is nothing more despairing than feeling the cold wind taking away your body temperature bit by bit."

The deaf old lady looked at He Yuzhu with some confusion, wondering how he knew so much about freezing to death.

He Yuzhu didn't notice the deaf old lady's doubts and continued, "I know you have always regarded me as your own grandson, and I have long regarded you as my own grandmother, but grandma, why do you always target Yu Shui? She is my own sister."

"So that's what you want to talk about." When the deaf old lady heard He Yushui's name, she immediately understood why He Yuzhu did this. She leaned back in her chair and said coldly:

"You don't need to know this. You just need to know that grandma does this for your own good. You will thank me later."

"Oh, so that's how it is. Now I understand." He Yuzhu took out the big bill that the master had just given him today and put it on the ground, saying respectfully:

"In that case, my brother and I won't bother you anymore, old lady. This money should be enough to pay you back for all the money you've given me over the years. If it's not enough, please tell me and I'll make it up to you when I get my salary."

"What? Are you going to break off relations with me?" The deaf old lady looked at He Yuzhu and said coldly.

"Yu Shui and I are one. From the moment He Daqing left, she has been my only relative. Since you cannot accept him, I cannot enjoy your love here alone with peace of mind. So goodbye, grandma."

After saying that, He Yuzhu kowtowed twice, then stood up, turned around and left without looking back.

"Wait!" Just as He Yuzhu was about to step out of the room, the helpless voice of the deaf old lady sounded from behind him.

"I'm afraid of you, okay? I promise I won't squeeze the rain again. Are you satisfied?"

"Don't bother you, I will take good care of Yu Shui myself. Goodbye." He Yuzhu didn't hesitate at all because of the deaf old lady's words and left without any reluctance.

If the deaf old lady was just trying to sow discord in front of He Yuzhu as usual, He Yuzhu would not be so angry.

After all, he was used to this kind of thing, so he just let it go in one ear and out the other.

But the deaf old lady should never, ever draw attention to He Yushui, as this touched He Yuzhu's sore spot.

You can say whatever you want to me, I know what to listen to and what not to listen to, but you can't say that to Yu Shui who is still a child, she will really take it seriously.
