Rebirth He Yuzhu I am a family man

"Silly dad, silly dad... go call He Xiao and ask him to give you some money, 10 or 20 will do." Bang Geng looked at the ceiling and made a request to Sha Zhu who was lying on the bed recuperating with an arrogant attitude.

"That's great. After Lou Xiao'e sold the restaurant, she paid off all the bad debts, but she gave the remaining 100 million to us for the daily operation of the nursing home."

"It's been less than a year since Lou Xiao'e and He Xiao left Beijing. Our family should not be short of money!" The old and frail Sha Zhu asked weakly, enduring the pain of a broken arm.

"Shazhu, just do what I tell you to do. Why are you talking so much nonsense?" Banggeng roared impatiently and pulled Shazhu up from the bed.

"Banggeng, don't pull me, let me have a good rest. My arm is broken and I need to rest for a while." Shazhu pleaded humbly.

"Silly Zhu, what can you do now? When I ask you to cook something, you either can't tell the saltiness or burn or stew it."

"I said something to you, but you not only talked back at me, but you also dared to touch me. I didn't hit you, that's fine, but I pushed you and broke your bones?"

"Shazhu, you want to blackmail us by living at home and eating free meals, but you can't. Don't even think about blackmailing us. Hurry up and go out to get some money. If you can't get back 10 or 20, don't come back to this courtyard." Banggeng stared at Shazhu fiercely and shouted coldly and ruthlessly, turning the tables on him.

After hearing Banggeng's words so lightly, Shazhu thought of asking Qin Huairu to persuade the unreasonable Banggeng. He endured the pain in his arm, put on his coat and walked out of the small room in the east wing of the central courtyard.

At this time, Qin Huairu was happily playing in the yard with her children Banggeng, Xiaodang, and Huaihua. The arrival of Shazhu disturbed Qin Huairu's good mood. After she finished listening to Shazhu's story, she didn't even raise her head. She looked at her grandchildren kindly and sighed, "Shazhu! We are all old, and when we get old, we have to rely on our children. Banggeng asked you to go out and make money, and there must be a reason for it. As his stepfather, you should help him!"

Sha Zhu wanted to say something, but Qin Huairu urged him impatiently, "Sha Zhu, the New Year is coming soon, and you need to spend money everywhere. Go and call Lou Xiao'e and He Xiao. We are waiting for your good news!"

"Huairu, then should I go to the main house where Banggeng lives to fight?" Sha Zhu asked in a compromising manner after hearing Qin Huairu's words.

Qin Huairu was shocked when she heard Sha Zhu say he wanted to make a long-distance call at home. She looked at Sha Zhu with disgust and scolded him, "Sha Zhu, you are already old. You really can't make any money and you can't live like this. Why don't you go to your sister's children's workplace to make a long-distance call? Don't you know how expensive it is to make a long-distance call to Hong Kong Island?"

Qin Huairu's words made Sha Zhu feel that they made sense: his wife really knew how to live. Enduring the pain in his arm, he hunched his back, and silently left the courtyard and walked towards his sister He Yushui's house.

In Shazhu's mind, "When Banggeng was a child, he stole a chicken, and Qin Huairu asked him to take the blame for the child's reputation and for the good of the children. Now, Qin Huairu asked him to go out and make money for the sake of this family. As the man of this family, he has this responsibility."

Sha Zhu knocked on He Yushui's door and told him his purpose. He Yushui said with a displeased look on his face, "Sha Ge, don't go to the children's workplace to disturb them. It will affect their normal work. Just fight at my house. It just so happens that I also want to know how Lou Xiao'e and her son are doing now."

He Yushui saw that Sha Zhu had a bandaged arm, so she helped him call He Xiao's mobile phone. The other party's phone beeped a few times before it was connected. Sha Zhu asked happily, "He Xiao, is that you?"

"Daddy, it's me! How have you been lately?" He Xiao greeted with surprise.

"He Xiao, I'm fine, do you miss daddy?"

"Daddy, I miss you so much, and Mommy always thinks about you too."

"He Xiao, will you and your mom go back to Sijiu City for the New Year this year?"

"Daddy, I won't be back this year. Mommy said that the restaurant in Sijiu City is the result of her life's hard work. Now that it has been sold, she will be sad if she returns to Sijiu City..."

When He Yushui heard that Sha Zhu and his son were using her home phone to make a long-distance call, she felt so distressed that she anxiously urged Sha Zhu to get down to business.

Sha Zhu was really helpless under He Yushui's urging, and finally made up his mind to pull down and said, "He Xiao, I want to ask you a favor."

"Daddy, we are father and son, don't ask me to help you. I will do whatever I can for you." He Xiao replied politely.

"He Xiao, the nursing home needs a lot of money recently. Would you or your mother be able to transfer 10 or 20 yuan to us?" Sha Zhu mustered up his courage and asked He Xiao.

After Sha Zhu finished speaking, He Xiao on the other end of the phone fell silent. Before long, Sha Zhu anxiously asked, "He Xiao, did you hear what I said clearly?"

"Daddy, I heard you clearly. Mommy, we are old now and there is no place to make money. As for me, although I am alone and have no family burden, I started from scratch after returning to Hong Kong Island. I am currently working as a salesman in a company, and the monthly salary I earn is just enough to cover daily expenses..." He Xiao explained embarrassedly.

"He Xiao, you and your mommy think of a solution! If you really can't do it, just transfer 10 yuan to me!" Sha Zhu shamelessly demanded.

At this time, He Xiao's situation in Hong Kong Island was very bad. When he heard his biological father insisting on asking for money on the phone, he patiently explained, "Dad, you should know that the restaurant that Mommy invested in when she came to Sijiu City took her life's hard work and invested more than 500 million yuan, including money she borrowed from the Lou family relatives."

"Before the restaurant had recovered its capital, Xiaodang and Huaihua came to manage it. Over the years, the nursing home in the courtyard has been maintained by the cash flow of the restaurant. When the restaurant was running low on income, Mommy would borrow money from the relatives of the Lou family."

"The relatives of the Lou family also know about the relationship between Mommy and you. They have long advised Mommy to sell the restaurant and return to Hong Kong Island or invest elsewhere. But Mommy has been supporting you for so many years, and her money is almost gone. She has not paid off the money she owed before, and no one will lend her money anymore..."

After hearing his own son He Xiao's rejection, Sha Zhu's tone became stiff. He said a few polite words and hung up the phone in a hurry.

He cast his eyes on He Yushui. He Yushui was such a smart person. Before Sha Zhu opened his mouth, she started talking to herself: "Sha Ge, I advised you not to go to Hong Kong Island with Lou Xiao'e and her son. Wasn't that right? If you went with them, you would probably starve to death. Now, when you ask them for some money, they find all kinds of reasons to refuse you. Sister Qin is still the best. She doesn't despise you, and she manages the family in an orderly manner. Banggeng, Xiaodang, and Huaihua are also obedient. You and Sister Qin's grandchildren are so well-behaved..."

"Yu Shui, please lend me some money. Our family needs a lot of money during the New Year." Sha Zhu listened to He Yu Shui's preaching and started to negotiate.

"Brother Sha, my family are all working wage earners, with such a low salary, how can we have any savings? Where are your apprentices? Go find them and think of a solution!" After rejecting Sha Zhu, He Yushui gave him some advice. She ignored her brother who had raised her since she was a child and had an injured arm at an old age. She didn't say a warm and intimate word, and didn't even give Sha Zhu a sip of water before pushing him out of the house.

Sha Zhu, who was hunched over and old and frail, listened to He Yushui's suggestion and immediately went to find his beloved disciple Ma Hua. But when he stepped into the compound where Ma Hua lived and saw Ma Hua's family squeezed into a small single room, he remembered that "I borrowed all of Ma Hua's savings a few years ago. Now Ma Hua has retired and can't work anymore. How much money does he have left?"

In this day and age, 10 or 20 yuan is enough to buy a nice house in the city. How can an ordinary family have so much money? Sha Zhu had no way to raise money, so he had no choice but to return to the courtyard.

As soon as Sha Zhu returned to the courtyard, Bang Geng and Qin Huairu stared at him and asked: "Have you received the money yet?" When they learned that He Yuzhu had not received a cent, Qin Huairu kept scolding Sha Zhu for being useless, and Bang Geng attacked Sha Zhu again.

The old and frail Shazhu was still Banggeng's opponent. In order to prevent his other hand from being broken, he followed Banggeng's instructions and reluctantly left the courtyard, wandering around the courtyard aimlessly...
