Siheyuan's opening rejection of the elderly care group

"Sometimes I look down on myself, but I also have to live for my big family. I have to find a way to support them. Otherwise, who would choose this path?" Liu Lan said crying.

"Why are you crying today?" He Yuzhu asked.

Liu Lan said embarrassedly, "In the morning, I wanted to go to Director Li's office to talk to him about something, but Secretary Li wouldn't let me in, saying that Director Li had work to do and I couldn't be disturbed."

"I was very curious because every time I went there, Secretary Li never stopped me,"

"I found a corner outside the office, waited for a while and saw Qin Huairu walking out of the office, and then I understood what was going on."

"After all these years of hard work, am I nothing?" Liu Lan cried again.

"Liu Lan and I have a pretty good relationship. Since you told me about this today, let me give you some advice," He Yuzhu said seriously, looking at Liu Lan's expression.

"You and Director Li just made a deal, and you still want him to stay with you alone. Who do you think you are? You are just getting what you want. You need to adjust your mentality," said He Yuzhu.

"You have to understand what you need, which is money, receipts and a stable job. Don't think too much about the rest. You might as well take advantage of your youth to get more benefits," He Yuzhu continued.

"I never had any improper thoughts. I was just angry that Qin Huairu, who said something unpleasant, suddenly approached me. How can I benefit from it in the future?" Liu Lan said angrily.

"Don't worry, Director Li, I'm not an ordinary person, and I will give you a lot of benefits," said He Yuzhu.

"But I want to give you a piece of advice. This is not a long-term solution. After all, if there are too many people for a long time, Director Li will not be able to handle it," He Yuzhu advised. Upon hearing this, Liu Lan's face turned red and she gave He Yuzhu a white look.

"Zhu Zi, then tell me what I should do. Do you need a wife? Otherwise, I will follow you," Liu Lan suddenly said jokingly.

"Sister, please stop joking. I can't afford to offend you and Director Li. Otherwise, you can just follow me and learn cooking skills slowly. Although I can't accept you as my apprentice, I can give you some pointers," He Yuzhu said quickly, waving his hand.

"Really Zhuzi, are you willing to teach me?" Liu Lan asked in surprise.

"Anyway, you always follow me to learn, so it's okay for me to teach you," said He Yuzhu.

"Zhu Zi, I will study hard and won't let you down, or I'll kowtow to you," Liu Lan said seriously.

"No need, let's just be friends as peers," said He Yuzhu.

"Then you are still my master, even though you don't accept me as your apprentice," Liu Lan said stubbornly.

"I will not acknowledge what I told you today about you and Director Li once we leave this door," He Yuzhu warned.

"Don't worry, I'm not stupid. I know there are some things that cannot be said," Liu Lan said.

He Yuzhu believed what Liu Lan said, because many people in the steel mill knew that she had a relationship with Director Li. Liu Lan was indeed a big mouth, but she had never said a single thing about Director Li. She knew what she could say and what she could not say.

Moreover, the relationship between Liu Lan and Qin Huairu is not good. Liu Lan and Director Li have an unclear relationship, but that is just for a living. Qin Huairu is like a vampire who wants to suck the marrow out of a person, so he is willing to help Liu Lan.

He Yuzhu finished a day's work at the steel rolling mill and rode his bicycle back to the courtyard. It was winter now and the third uncle had changed a lot, so he didn't see him at the gate of the courtyard today. When he was about to enter the middle courtyard, he found that his door was not locked. He quickly parked his bike and pushed the door open. It turned out to be Yu Shui, who had cooked a table of food at home.

"Yushui, how are you feeling today?" He Yuzhu asked as he walked in.

"Brother, you know what, after waking up today, I feel much better, as if a big stone has been moved away," Yu Shui said as he stepped forward and took the coat from He Yuzhu's hand.

"That's good. We should be happy every day from now on. Where did you go today?" He Yuzhu asked.

"I went to the department store today and bought some clothes. I also bought you a scarf," said He Yushui.

"Okay, don't forget your brother me when you go out to buy things, you can go for a walk by yourself," He Yuzhu asked again.

Yu Shui suddenly said embarrassedly, "Xiao Liang accompanied me. I went to his workplace to find him today."

"By the way, brother, Xiao Liang said he plans to visit our house tomorrow weekend," He Yushui said suddenly.

"He will come tomorrow, so let him come and I will prepare," He Yuzhu said with a serious expression when he heard that his brother-in-law was coming.

"Brother, don't be so serious as if you are going to eat someone," He Yushui said, shaking He Yuzhu's arm.

"If you shake me again, I will fall apart. I will not make things difficult for him to give you face," He Yuzhu said unhappily.

"Brother is still good to me," He Yushui said coquettishly.

"Now that you have a boyfriend, just forget about me. Let's eat. I have something to tell you after dinner," said He Yuzhu.

"What's the matter?" He Yushui asked curiously.

"Eat quickly, I'm hungry. After you finish eating, come out with me and I'll tell you," He Yuzhu urged.

The brother and sister finished their dinner in no time.

He Yuzhu brought his sister to Yi Zhonghai's home, "Brother, why did you bring me here?" He Yushui asked.

Seeing He Yuzhu took out the key and opened the door: "How do you have the key to this aunt's house?" He Yushui asked.

"The housekeeper has sold this house to me," He Yuzhu said to Yushui.

"When did this happen?" He Yushui asked his brother.

"It happened today. Aunt Yi came to me a few days ago and wanted to sell me the house. After Yi Zhonghai was sentenced, she had a hard time living alone in this yard and was upset by being pointed at by others."

"Besides, you'll have more money after you sell it to me. Selling this house to us can be used as compensation to my brother and I. Someone from her parents' home is coming to take her back to live in her old age. She has already gone to the station," He Yuzhu said to Yu Shui while looking at the house.

Seeing that the house was cleaned up, He Yuzhu and his sister locked the door and returned to He Yuzhu's room.

"Brother, does anyone in this yard know about this?" He Yushui asked him.

"They probably don't know yet. There are many people in our yard who are short of houses. There are the three large courtyards in the front yard, the second large courtyard in the back yard, and Qin Huairu's family in our yard. If they knew that Auntie sold the house to me, there would definitely be trouble," said He Yuzhu.

"Can you handle it by yourself?" He Yushui said worriedly.

"Don't worry. I, your brother, have seen all sorts of things in the world over the years. How can I be bullied by them?" He Yuzhu said indifferently.

"Brother, I'll feel relieved if you're sure," said He Yushui.

"Okay, go back to your room and sleep. Tomorrow morning go buy some candies and melon seeds, and I'll buy some food to treat Xiao Liang," He Yuzhu instructed.

"Okay, I understand," He Yushui nodded in agreement.

Watching Yu Shui's back as she left, He Yuzhu couldn't help but sigh that you have finally grown up and are about to get married. Most of your mission as a brother has been completed, and all that's left is to support her.

"Comrade He Yuzhu, are you at home?" a voice came from outside the door.

He Yuzhu quickly opened the door and saw that it was the police. "Comrade, I am He Yuzhu. What can I do for you?"

Comrade He Yuzhu, the cases of Yi Zhonghai and Jia Geng have been tried and concluded, and they have been sent to the labor camp. The case has been concluded, and please go to the police station tomorrow morning to collect your money," the police said.

"Okay, I will definitely go there tomorrow morning. Sorry to bother the public security comrades, please come in and have a cup of tea," He Yuzhu invited.

"No need, I'll go back when I receive the notice," the policeman saluted and left the courtyard.
