Siheyuan: He Yuzhu's rebirth in the 21st century

When the deaf old lady walked to He Yuzhu's house with a cane and saw a table full of dishes.

I couldn't help but drool, which flowed out of my mouth with few remaining teeth...

She is the most greedy person, otherwise she would not have decided that He Yuzhu, a chef, would be a carer for the elderly!

"Hi~Silly Zhuzi, are you free now? Madam, I have something to talk to you about~"

The deaf old lady suppressed her greed and pretended to be amiable.

"No... deaf old lady, if you have something to say, just tell me!"

He Yuzhu didn't want to pay attention to her!

But suddenly she thought of the small basket on the beam of her house, and decided to just pretend to be nice and deal with it for now.

"Silly Zhuzi, your family is so hard to talk to, can you go to the wife's room to talk?"

"Go to your room? Fine!"

He Yuzhu did not refuse, because this scene seemed familiar, as if he had experienced it in his previous life.

But decades have passed and I can’t remember some things clearly.

Only some vague memories.

"Yushui, you ask Aunt Wu, the two aunts, Uncle Liu, and Yuhua to eat first. You don't have to wait for me!"

"Ma Hua, watch out for me. If Yi Zhonghai wants to come over to eat with us, you know what to do!"

"Master, don't worry! I guarantee that Yi Zhonghai won't get a single drop of it!"

He Yuzhu gave the two of them some instructions and planned to go to the backyard with the deaf old lady.

"Slurp~Silly Zhuzi, what are you going to eat? I have never seen your wife before!"

However, the deaf old lady stared at the food on the table and refused to move.

"Of course you haven't seen it. This is my new invention, the Big Plate Chicken. Everyone who has eaten it says it's delicious!"

"Deaf old lady, do you still want to tell me something?"

"If you don't want to talk, then go back and don't disturb my apprentice and his wife from talking about their lifelong affairs!"

He Yuzhu would not indulge her and closed the door decisively.

"Um... Come on, come on, go home with me."

The deaf old lady had no choice but to smack her lips and walk to the backyard.

She was not discouraged and believed that she had told Sha Zhuzi some "secrets".

He will definitely offer the delicious food to you!

……

He Yuzhu followed the deaf old lady into the house.

Before she turned around, he looked up at the beams...

“Sure enough, there is a small basket!”

The basket was covered in dust, as if it had not been moved for years!

What is hidden inside?!

"Deaf old lady, what do you want from me?"

He Yuzhu saw her turn around and quickly looked away and asked.

"Silly Zhuzi, I'm not looking for you for anything important, I just want to give you a reminder!"

"The widow in your middle courtyard is not a good person. You must not get too close to her!"

"Think about it, their family has lost its source of income and can't even afford to eat. What will they do? They have to find a man to rely on."

"And you are her best choice. She will depend on you for the rest of her life!"

The deaf old lady squinted her eyes and said slyly.

"No! Widow Qin just wants me to bring some leftovers to the Jia family. She doesn't dare to have any other ideas!"

He Yuzhu remembered that the deaf old lady had indeed "advised" him in this way in his previous life.

This time he still responded with the same words as in his previous life.

"Silly Zhuzi, you think too simply!"

"But it's okay, ma'am, I'll help you keep an eye on the widow!"

The deaf old lady inadvertently smiled!

Judging from Shazhu’s reply just now, nothing has changed.

Still looking stupid!

"I don't need a particularly smart old-age caregiver, just someone who is a little stupid and obedient!"

If Sha Zhu becomes smart and can recognize Qin Huairu's true face...

Then I don’t dare to support him in his old age!

"Oh! It's really nothing! How capable can Widow Qin, a housewife, be!?"

"Do you have anything else to say? If not, I have to go back!"

He Yuzhu continued to be stubborn and pretended to be impatient.

"Silly Zhuzi, don't be anxious! You finally came to my wife's house, let's have a good chat~"

"Look what this is?!"

The deaf old lady took out an object that looked like a "medal" from her pocket and handed it to him.

He Yuzhu took it over...

"The outermost part of the medal is in the shape of 8 small flags, 8 long and 16 short, with an octagonal star on the inner side and a circle in the middle..."

However, all the colors on the patterns were scraped off artificially, leaving only the metallic silver-white color...

Huh? This shape!?

I remember that she gave me this "medal" in my previous life!

"Silly Zhuzi, no one in your family is a soldier, so you can't recognize him, right?"

"Let me tell you, this is the military medal that our army gave to my wife as a reward!"

"He was qualified to receive this award because he bravely killed the Japanese and unfortunately died in battle!"

"Now I'm giving you the military medal. You have to keep it well for me!"

What the deaf old lady said next was exactly the same as in her previous life.

And in my previous life, I actually believed it!

He did not investigate the authenticity of the military medal and hid it in a box like a treasure.

How stupid!

If this military medal was earned by the deaf old woman's husband at the cost of his life, why didn't she preserve it well?

On the contrary, it is polished to a high shine, as if hiding something! ?

There must be something fishy going on here!

"Silly Zhuzi, ever since my wife 'died', I have sold all the family property and exchanged it for supplies to give to the Red Army..."

"Later, when the Japanese invaded, I opened a shoe factory and made shoes myself for the Eighth Route Army to fight the Japanese..."

"My eldest son was an underground worker of our party and was persecuted by the Japanese devils..."

"My second son died fighting Chiang Kai-shek..."

Seeing He Yuzhu staring at the military medal in a daze, the deaf old lady nodded with satisfaction.

This guy finally fell into the trap!

She first "kindly" reminded the widow Qin that she had evil intentions, and then revealed her identity as a martyr's relative...

I guess Sha Zhuzi must have a much better impression of me!

Shouldn't he treat the martyrs' relatives well and send the meat quickly? ?

He Yuzhu couldn't help but sneer in his heart when he heard this.

"After her husband died fighting the Japanese invaders, the deaf old lady sold her property to support the Red Army?"

"After the Japanese invaded, she made shoes for the Eighth Route Army?"

"The time and place are wrong! This statement is full of loopholes!"

How could I believe it in my previous life!?

"Deaf old lady, so your husband and two sons all sacrificed their lives for the country, so you are a martyr's relative?"

"Do you have a martyr's certificate and a family honorary memorial certificate!?"

He didn't expose it on the spot, but asked in pretended excitement.

"Forehead……"

The deaf old lady was stunned by the question!

How could she have these two "certificates of honor"?

Otherwise, it would have been hung at the door for people in the courtyard to admire!

"Hey! Silly Zhuzi, you don't know how chaotic that era was. Many things are impossible to investigate!"

"Besides, I am not someone who seeks false reputation. If I insist on getting a martyr's certificate or a family honor certificate, I will not embarrass the government!"

"I think it's good to have food and drink now!"

"If someone could bring me some meat every now and then, my wife and two sons' sacrifices for the country would not be in vain!"

Her mind raced, and she quickly came up with a "reasonable" explanation.

And morally blackmailed He Yuzhu...
