Siheyuan: I am different He Yuzhu

As other residents of the courtyard arrived one after another, after a while, under the command of Yi Zhonghai, Liu Guangqi and Yan Jiecheng carried an eight-immortal table from the first uncle's house and placed it in the middle of the courtyard. A moment later, three uncles each carried a stool and came to the eight-immortal table. From left to right, they were Liu Haizhong, Yi Zhonghai, and Yan Bugui.

When He Yuzhu was sitting in a chair doing nothing, Xu Damao suddenly jumped out from the side and came to He Yuzhu. After Xu Damao looked around to make sure no one noticed him, he said mysteriously to He Yuzhu in a voice that only two people could hear: "Brother Zhu, do you know what the meeting is about tonight?"

He Yuzhu asked curiously, "Do you know what to do?"

Xu Damao said proudly: "I definitely know, otherwise why would I come here?"

He Yuzhu looked at Xu Damao's show-off and said, "Then please trouble my good brother to tell me about it."

After listening to He Yuzhu's words, Xu Damao said proudly: "I just asked Liu Guangqi, the meeting tonight is to organize everyone to dig a cellar in the yard." After Xu Damao said this, he looked at me with a look of "Look how great I am."

After hearing this, He Yuzhu immediately gave Xu Damao a thumbs up and boasted a little: "My brother Damao is really amazing. He was able to find out this information. If he were in a martial arts novel, he would definitely be a Jianghu know-it-all, knowing everything and being omnipotent."

After hearing He Yuzhu praising him, Xu Damao felt that He Yuzhu was his confidant and a good brother who understood him so well.

He Yuzhu looked at Xu Damao who was fooled by his words and felt funny. He remembered that in his previous life, all the authors said that Xu Damao was He Yuzhu's lifelong enemy. Looking at Xu Damao's current appearance, how could he be his opponent? He remembered that in the previous life, Sha Zhu couldn't beat Xu Damao with his dirty tricks, so he could only choose to solve the problem with physical force. In front of so many people in the courtyard, he beat Xu Damao like a grandson. Afterwards, Xu Damao played dirty tricks on He Yuzhu behind his back. He Yuzhu didn't lose. Let alone a villain like Xu Damao, anyone else would have to take revenge on He Yuzhu.

Based on his contacts with Xu Damao in the past six months, He Yuzhu knew that Xu Damao was a person who would respond to soft actions but not to hard ones. To put it bluntly, Xu Damao was a common problem among the men in the city, who cared about appearances and was narrow-minded. He was the kind of person who would definitely retaliate against you if you did him wrong. But as long as you gave him face, Xu Damao was still easy to deal with. He had just dug a cellar in his own courtyard this afternoon, and tonight the three uncles held a meeting to organize the residents of the courtyard to dig a cellar. It was probably because of Jia Zhang's instigation. If he did not participate, he would be out of the group activity, and the residents of the courtyard would gradually distance themselves from him. But if he participated, he would definitely be made a fool. Jia Zhang's trick was really disgusting. It seemed that he had to be careful of Jia Zhang's old wife, who was a bit insidious.

Liu Haizhong, who was sitting at the eight-immortals table, saw that most residents of the courtyard had arrived. He coughed a few times, cleared his throat and said, "Everyone, look around to see who has not arrived yet. If no one wants to speak, then we'll get ready to start the meeting." Liu Haizhong paused here, glanced at the residents around him, and seeing that no one spoke, he continued, "Since no one is speaking, that means everyone is here. Now, please allow the eldest uncle of our courtyard to speak. Let's applaud and welcome him." Then he took the lead in applauding, and the residents of the courtyard followed suit.

Yi Zhonghai pressed his hand to signal everyone to stop, and then slowly said: "It's nothing big to gather everyone together for a meeting tonight. It's not a notice from the street office, but something about our No. 95 courtyard." When the residents around heard Yi Zhonghai talking about the courtyard, they immediately began to whisper and communicate with each other. Liu Haizhong immediately slapped the eight-immortal table with his hand and said angrily: "The old man hasn't spoken yet, everyone keep quiet."

Seeing that everyone had quieted down again, Yi Zhonghai continued, "Don't worry, everyone. You will understand after I finish telling you. It's not a big deal. Winter is coming soon. According to the rules of our city, every household must buy a large amount of cabbage to survive the winter. In the past few years, under the oppression of the skinheads, everyone was just making do and barely surviving. Under the leadership of the Workers and Peasants' Party, everyone's life is better than before. I discussed with the other two uncles and wanted to organize the residents of our courtyard to dig a cellar in the yard to store the cabbage bought in winter. After all, the temperature in the house is a bit high and it can't be kept for a whole winter."

"What about digging a cellar?" a resident asked directly after hearing what Yi Zhonghai said.

"Digging the cellar is entirely voluntary. Those who have money can contribute money, and those who don't can contribute labor. In short, everyone works together to dig the cellar. As the eldest uncle in our courtyard, I decided to take out 5 yuan to build the cellar." Then Yi Zhonghai took out a 5 yuan RMB note from his pocket and placed it on the eight-immortals table.

As soon as Jia Xudong saw his master's statement, he immediately said to the crowd: "Master, please be generous. What do you think of Master?"

"Okay." The residents around agreed. Seeing Yi Zhonghai showing off, Liu Haizhong said, "As the second uncle of the courtyard, I will also donate 5 yuan." He then took out 5 yuan from his pocket, held it in the air for everyone to see, and then put it on the eight-immortal table.

But few people around cheered. How could this be acceptable? As a professional player in the atmosphere group, how could He Yuzhu allow a dull silence? He immediately said, "Second uncle, good job. Let's give Second Uncle a round of applause." After saying that, he took the lead in applauding, and the other residents of the courtyard also followed suit.

When the third uncle Yan Bugui saw that Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong both received 5 yuan, he couldn't help feeling embarrassed. His salary was not as high as theirs, but if he didn't take it, the residents of the courtyard were now looking at him. So he gritted his teeth and said, "Everyone, you know that my salary is not as high as the first and second uncles. My business went bankrupt before, so I will donate yuan." After Yan Bugui said this, he took out yuan from his pocket and placed it on the eight-immortals table.

Seeing this, Yi Zhonghai said quickly, "This is all voluntary. You can donate as much as you want according to your ability. We won't force anyone. If you really have limited ability, you can send someone to help dig the cellar." With Yi Zhonghai's help, Third Uncle Yan Bugui's face was saved. Yan Bugui looked at Yi Zhonghai with gratitude, and Yi Zhonghai nodded slightly. Yi Zhonghai then said, "Third Uncle, why don't you take the trouble to take a notebook and write down how much each family donated?"

"I have prepared it." Yan Bugui took out a small notebook from his pocket. Seeing this, other residents of the courtyard walked up to the eight-immortal table and put the money they wanted to donate on the table.

When no one was donating, Yi Zhonghai stood up and said, "Let Uncle San count how much everyone has donated in total. After the cellar is built, if the money donated cannot be used up, the remaining money will be returned to everyone in proportion. My donation will not be returned."

As soon as Yi Zhonghai finished speaking, Jia Zhang, who was sitting in the crowd, immediately shouted, "Why didn't I see He Yuzhu donate? Did Third Uncle He Yuzhu donate?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Bugui glanced at the account book and said, "He Yuzhu did not donate."

After the third uncle finished speaking, Jia Zhang immediately said in a sarcastic tone: "He Yuzhu's salary is not lower than that of the first uncle. It can only be seen at the critical moment, what kind of character a person has?" When Jia Zhang said this, the residents of the courtyard took a look at He Yuzhu and began to whisper.

He Yuzhu stood up and said in a very calm tone: "Uncle, I was going to talk to you privately after the meeting, but since some gossipers can't wait, I'll just say it directly. I have asked someone to dig a cellar in my small yard this afternoon. I will not participate in the three uncles organizing everyone to dig the cellar. It's okay if I don't participate and donate, right?" After saying that, He Yuzhu walked down the steps and stood in the yard, staring at the three uncles in charge. The three uncles in charge felt like they were being stared at by some wild beast.

Yan Bugui was the first to be unable to bear the pressure and said, "Since your family is planning to dig a cellar by themselves, you don't have to pay for the cellar digging organized by the hospital."

"Uncle San is right. Our activity is entirely voluntary. We will not force anyone to donate." Liu Haizhong also quickly made up for it.

"Ms. Jia Zhang, what nonsense are you talking about? Zhuzi, don't bother with her. She knows nothing. Ms. Jia Zhang, why don't you apologize to He Yuzhui right away?" Yi Zhonghai said in a soft voice.

"No need for that. I'll give you face this time, but if anyone dares to make up stories about me next time, don't blame me for being rude. Uncle San, don't you still have to announce how much money you donated? Count the money quickly. Don't make a mistake in counting the money because of such a small matter. Otherwise, you will let everyone down." He Yuzhu said with a smile.

"Don't worry, we won't make a single mistake." Yan Bugui said confidently.

"That's because the third uncle is a master at using the abacus." He Yuzhu complimented Yan Bugui a little, turned around and walked towards his home. He Yuzhu had just taken two steps when he exclaimed, "Huh?" The eyes of the people in the courtyard instantly focused on He Yuzhu again. He Yuzhu said, "Whose kid threw a brick at my doorstep? Isn't he afraid of tripping someone?" After that, He Yuzhu bent down, picked up the brick from the ground with one hand, and gently chopped the brick with the other hand. The brick broke into two pieces, and then He Yuzhu threw the brick into the corner.

Jia Zhang watched as He Yuzhui lightly chopped the brick with his hand, breaking it into two pieces. She looked at her arm and her face instantly turned blue and white. Everyone in the courtyard saw He Yuzhui easily chop a brick into two halves, and they immediately realized that He Yuzhui was demonstrating to Jia Zhangi. Then they hurriedly looked at Jia Zhangi's face, and happened to see that Jia Zhangi's face turned blue and white, and everyone immediately laughed secretly.

"You guys continue with the meeting, I have to go home and coax my sister to sleep." He Yuzhu patted the dust off his hands and said with a relaxed look. After that, He Yuzhu carried the chair back home and closed the door.

In the crowd, Xu Damao, Yan Jiecheng, and Liu Guangqi looked at each other, their eyes full of excitement. Xu Damao thought directly: "I didn't expect that this big fool He Yuzhu is so powerful. If anyone bullies me in school in the future, I will ask He Yuzhu to go to school with me. Then I will be the boss of the school. Who dares to mess with me? No, I have to hold on to He Yuzhu's thigh. In the future, He Yuzhu will be my big brother, closer to me than my father."
