Siheyuan: I am different He Yuzhu

Late at night, when the last wave of guests finished drinking and left, Cai Quanwu said to Zhao Yali, "Accountant Zhao, it's getting late. Let's clean up quickly so we can go home after we're done."

While wiping the table, Zhao Yali said, "Manager Cai, when can we sell alcohol?"

"How can I say for sure about such things, but I think things will be better later on than they are now. Hasn't the grain production just recovered not long ago? It will definitely get better in the future." Cai Quanwu responded with a smile.

"I hope things get better soon! During the disasters in the past two years, the tavern has been relying on the money from the street office to pay our salaries. Only when the tavern's business improves, we will have money to pay back the street office."

"Just do it bit by bit. The neighborhood office won't urge us to pay back the money anyway. Accountant Zhao, you can go back after you finish wiping the table. You don't live as close as I do."

"Okay, then I'll go back first, Manager Cai." After saying that, Zhao Yali washed the rag and hung it up, and then before leaving, "Manager Cai, I'm off work, see you tomorrow." After saying that, she pushed open the door of the tavern and walked towards home.

Not long after Zhao Yali left, Cai Quanwu locked the door of the tavern and walked towards his home behind the tavern.

The sound of Cai Quanwu knocking on the door woke up Su Xiulian who was sleeping. Su Xiulian came out of the house with her clothes on and said to the door, "Dad, is that you?"

"It's me, Xiulian."

Su Xiulian quickly opened the door and let Cai Quanwu in. "Why are you here so late today?"

"After the last table of guests finished their drinks, they sat there and started chatting. You know, it's not customary to kick people out of a pub, so they got off work late."

"It's getting late, let's pack up and go to bed!" After saying that, Su Xiulian put on her clothes and walked into the house.

Cai Quanwu simply packed up and went back to his room to sleep. When he sat on the bed, he saw that Su Xiulian was still awake, so he asked, "Xiulian, how much money do we have in total?"

"Dad, don't you know how much money our family has? I have never been in charge of our money. Why are you suddenly asking this so late at night?" Su Xiu Lian asked curiously.

"Do you know that the house we live in now is made of pillars?" Cai Quanwu asked casually while taking off his clothes.

"I know. Didn't you tell me about it when we got married? It's been so many years. Why are you bringing it up suddenly?" Su Xiu Lian replied.

Cai Quanwu put his clothes aside, lay on the bed and whispered, "Zhu Zi came to the tavern to see me tonight."

Hearing this, Su Xiulian raised her head and looked at her husband with a hint of doubt and worry in her eyes, and asked, "Why did Zhuzi look for you?"

Cai Quanwu took a deep breath and continued, "He wants to give me the courtyard house we live in now."

"What?" After hearing what Cai Quanwu said, Su Xiulian suddenly sat up from the bed. Her expression instantly became very serious. She said anxiously, "Dad, we can't have it! You don't want it, do you?"

Cai Quanwu looked at his wife's nervous expression and couldn't help laughing. He consoled her, "Why would I want it? I rejected him directly at that time."

After hearing her husband's answer, Su Xiulian felt relieved, but she still asked worriedly, "Really? Don't lie to me."

Cai Quanwu held his wife's hand, nodded seriously, and said, "Of course it's true, Xiulian, I know in my heart that our family can live such a good life now, all thanks to Zhuzi. He has been kind to us, and we must always remember this kindness in our hearts. How can we just accept such a valuable thing from him casually?"

After hearing this, Su Xiulian nodded in agreement and said with emotion: "Yes, as a person, you must know how to repay kindness. If it weren't for Zhuzi's help over the years, we wouldn't be able to live such a stable life. If we have the chance in the future, we must repay him well."

"But you also know Zhuzi's temper. Since he said that, he must have thought it through. I refused several times but failed. After all, Zhuzi did this out of kindness to help our family. In the end, there was really no other way. I said that we pay to buy the house from Zhuzi. That's why I asked you how much money our family has."

"So how much do you plan to pay to buy the house from Zhuzi?" Su Xiulian said with concern.

"I plan to buy the house from Zhuzi at the market price, and owe him the difference first, and then pay him back when I have more money. But Zhuzi can only say that if the market value of this house exceeds 2 yuan, no matter how much more, he will only charge us 2 yuan. That's why I asked you how much money we have!"

"2 yuan, so low, isn't the pillar at a disadvantage?" Su Xiulian said with a frown.

"At first I wanted to pay, but Zhuzi said he would sell it to me for 5000 yuan, the original price he paid for the house. I refused to agree, so he sold it to me for 2 yuan."

"It's the only way. Zhuzi, as his nephew, really has nothing to say about you, his cousin! Is our family's money enough to give him?"

"We have 2 yuan. Zhuzi asked for 2 yuan because he asked how much money we had. I said we had more than 2 yuan, so he only said 2 yuan."

"Our family actually has so much money, what have you and Zhuzi done all these years?"

"It's nothing big. I just helped Zhuzi deal with some things that were inconvenient for him to handle. It's just that Zhuzi is more generous to our family. Okay, don't think about it, and go to sleep quickly!" After saying that, Cai Quanwu closed his eyes. Soon, snoring sounds were heard. Seeing this, Su Xiulian also closed her eyes.
