Siheyuan: I am different He Yuzhu

On the night that Cai Quanwu got the title deed of Qiu Guangpu's house, he sent it to He Yuzhu's house. He Yuzhu, who had just finished his meal and was about to eat, saw his uncle Cai Quanwu coming and hurriedly greeted him, "Uncle, why are you here? Have you eaten?"

"I had already eaten at home when I came. I'm here to give you the title deed of Qiu Guangpu's house. I'll leave after I give it to you. You don't have to worry about me." Cai Quanwu saw that everyone was in the main room and spoke directly, "Here, this is the title deed of Qiu Guangpu's house." After that, Cai Quanwu handed the title deed to He Yuzhu.

"Uncle, you're here. Why don't you stay and eat something? We have just prepared the meal and are ready to eat." Lou Xiao'e greeted him warmly.

"No, Xiao'e, I have to go back quickly. I can't leave the tavern for too long. Zhuzi, I'm leaving now. You guys should eat quickly." Cai Quanwu said with a smile, then turned around and walked out of the house.

"Xiao'e, Xiangyun, you guys eat first. I'll go see my cousin off. You don't have to wait for me." He Yuzhu hurried out of the house. "Uncle, wait for me. I'll see you off."

After hearing what He Yuzhu said, Cai Quanwu couldn't help but slow down his pace. He Yuzhu took two quick steps to catch up with Cai Quanwu, and walked out of the courtyard side by side with Cai Quanwu and came to the gate of the courtyard.

Cai Quanwu walked to his tricycle at the gate of the courtyard, looked around and saw that no one was paying attention, then whispered, "Zhu Zi, after you left yesterday, I talked to Qiu Guangpu. He sold his house to raise money to go outside the Great Wall to sell grain to the Fortress of Beijing."

He Yuzhu smiled and said, "It's almost what I guessed. Last night, you said that Qiu Guangpu's three sons went to the outside of the pass. I felt that Qiu Guangpu's sudden sale of the house might be related to his sons going to the outside of the pass. But I didn't expect that Qiu Guangpu went to sell the house to raise money to trade grain outside the pass. Qiu Guangpu is really brave."

"Well, Qiu Guangpu is indeed quite courageous." Having said this, Cai Quanwu paused, with an expression of wanting to say something but stopping himself on his face.

He Yuzhu saw this and asked, "What's the matter, uncle? Is there anything inconvenient for us to talk about?"

After hearing what He Yuzhu said, Cai Quanwu said directly: "Zhuzi, I didn't discuss it with you. I told Qiu Guangpu directly last night that I wanted to sell the grain he brought in from outside the Great Wall in Sijiu City." After saying that, Cai Quanwu felt relieved, and then looked at He Yuzhu, waiting for what He Yuzhu would say.

"It wasn't a big deal for me then, uncle. Isn't what we do now dealing in food? It doesn't matter if we deal in a little more grain. I didn't want to deal in grain before. On the one hand, I didn't have the source of goods, and on the other hand, it was easier to attract other people's attention. After all, grain is not only cheap, but also takes up space. But since you want to do it, then do it. Anyway, the brothers below are very idle. As long as you are careful and don't get noticed, you can do it."

"Zhu Zi, thank you." Cai Quanwu said with red eyes.

"Uncle, you must make sure that Qiu Guangpu has completed the road construction, otherwise it will be easy for something to go wrong. We have been dealing with each other for many years. As long as nothing goes wrong on his side, there will definitely be no problem on our side." He Yuzhu reminded Cai Quanwudao.

"Don't worry, I will pay attention." Cai Quanwu said seriously.

"Also, if something does go wrong, we would rather throw away the goods than to make sure nothing happens to the people. Our assets can withstand the hardship. As long as the people are still here, we will have a chance to make back the money we lost sooner or later. If the people are gone, we will have nothing left."

"Okay, I've got this. If something really happens, I will take responsibility for it alone and will never involve you. My home will be left to you to take care of at that time." Cai Quanwu said with a firm face.

He Yuzhu listened to Cai Quanwu's words, and couldn't help but laugh and cry and said, "Uncle, it's not that serious. Even if you really go to jail, I can find someone who can at least save your life. Well, let's not talk about this anymore. Go back quickly. I have to go home for dinner too."

Just as He Yuzhu turned to enter the yard, he suddenly stopped and said, "By the way, uncle, tomorrow is the day I agreed with Qiu Guangpu to get the key. You can go to him to get the key. I will leave the key with you first. You don't have to rush to send it to me. I will go to you to get it later. Also, remember to ask someone to make two more keys. You can take one when the time comes. From now on, that yard will be used as a warehouse. I will put some old things in your place later."

"Okay, I've got that in mind. By the way, Zhuzi, do you want to ask someone to inspect the house? Otherwise, when you put things in there in the future, they might get damaged by a leaking roof." Cai Quanwu said after thinking for a while.

"If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten about it. I know a house repairman. I'll ask him to find you when the time comes. When he does the repair, he'll also inspect the house you live in now. You can pay for it first, and then just put it in the account." He Yuzhu said, touching the fork of beard on his chin.

"Zhu Zi, let me pay for the renovation of the house I live in. After all, I have lived in that house for so many years and you haven't even collected rent." Cai Quanwu said somewhat embarrassedly.

"Uncle, don't argue with me about this. You've been running around for me for so many years. Besides, this house is mine, so naturally I should pay for the renovation. You just need to help out during the renovation. Uncle, do you have anything else to do? If not, I'll go back to eat." He Yuzhu asked.

"It's okay, you should go back and eat." Cai Quanwu responded.

"Okay, uncle, I'll go back to eat. See you later." After saying that, He Yuzhu waved to Cai Quanwu and walked towards the yard.

He Yuzhu returned home and saw a room full of people sitting at the dining table, waiting for him to come back. "Didn't I tell you not to wait for me? Eat first. When the meal is ready, just eat first and don't wait for me."

"Okay, we got it. By the way, Brother He, has my cousin left?" Lou Xiao'e asked with a smile.

"Well, he left. He just left. He is the public manager of the tavern now. The tavern is busy at night, so he can't stay long. Well, stop talking and let's eat quickly. Fortunately, the weather is hot now. If it were winter, the food would be cold." He Yuzhu hurriedly urged everyone to eat.

"Brother Zhuzi, men like you are so great. Sister Xiao'e is so lucky to marry you. I wonder if I can meet a man like you in the future." Wu Xiangyun said to He Yuzhu and Lou Xiao'e with envy.

"Oh, our Xiangyun wants to get married, but you should be able to find your own happiness." Lou Xiao'e said jokingly.

"No way, sister-in-law, I'm still in school." Wu Xiangyun retorted shyly.

"Happiness can definitely be found, but it's probably difficult to find someone like me. Not to mention other things, even cooking for her is difficult. Xiangyun, a man as outstanding as your brother Zhuzi is destined to be extremely rare." He Yuzhu said proudly.

"Hmph, why don't I just find a cook?" Wu Xiangyun said unconvinced.

"Haha, your father, your elder brother, and your brother-in-law are all cooks. One of them goes home to cook." He Yuzhu said bluntly.

After hearing what He Yuzhu said, Wu Xiangyun immediately said in frustration: "You are also a cook, why do you go home to cook?"

"I am a special case. Before I got married, I was the one who cooked for my family. After I got married, your sister-in-law didn't know how to cook, and I didn't want her to learn, so I took over." He Yuzhu said calmly.

Lou Xiao'e, who was standing by, blushed slightly and whispered, "Brother He, I can actually learn how to cook."

"There's no need for that. Even if you keep learning, you probably won't be able to reach my level. You'd better just wait patiently for me to make delicious food for you." He Yuzhu said to Lou Xiao'e with a doting look on his face.

"But I don't know how to cook, and my husband will definitely not let me learn how to cook." Wu Xiangyun said confidently.

"Stop dreaming. When school starts, go home and learn how to cook with your master's wife. Otherwise, when you get married, people will look down on you for not knowing how to cook. If it gets out that the daughter of the chef of Fengze Garden can't cook, it will be a disgrace to your father, my master." He Yuzhu hit Wu Xiangyun without any hesitation. "Yushui, I let her learn to cook at such a young age. Otherwise, when Yushui gets married and becomes a mother, she will let her child cry because she doesn't know how to cook. Wouldn't it be embarrassing to tell others about it?"

"Then why must women learn to cook? Why can't men learn to cook?" Wu Xiangyun retorted unconvinced.

"Xiangyun, husband and wife are one. Take your family for example. Your father, my master, works at Fengze Garden all day, and then has to cook for the whole family when he gets home. Do you think this is fair to your father? A family does not belong to one person. It requires the efforts of both husband and wife to run the family well. Your father, my master, works outside to earn money during the day, and your mother, my master's wife, takes care of the family so that your master can work outside with peace of mind. Only in this way can the family be harmonious." He Yuzhu said earnestly.

"My mother doesn't work, so I cook at home. I will also go out to work in the future. Times are different now. Women can also hold up half the sky." Wu Xiangyun continued to refute.

"Xiangyun, I'm not saying that housework must be done by women, I just want you to understand that there's no need to divide things so clearly. Times have changed. Women are leaving home, participating in work, and jointly building the country. But generally speaking, the work women do is often relatively easier. When you really get married, if you have a deep relationship with your husband, you naturally won't care about trivial matters such as who cooks. Husbands and wives should look at each other's strengths and always remember each other's good points, rather than focusing on each other's shortcomings or deficiencies. Only in this way can you live a happy life."

He Yuzhu paused for a moment and continued, "Of course, I don't want you to be bound by your family. You are now a sophomore in high school, and next semester you will be a senior. You will face the college entrance examination next year. I sincerely hope that you can be admitted to the ideal university in your mind, receive a better education, and make greater contributions to the construction of the country in the future."

"I will definitely work hard to realize my dream, Brother Zhuzi!" Wu Xiangyun responded without hesitation with a determined look on her face.
