Siheyuan: If you ruin the reputation of the whole courtyard, I will move out

Zhang Yu angrily grabbed Cai Xiaoguang's collar and yelled, "You are crazy. You are sending Zhou Rong to that old man."

Cai Xiaoguang closed his eyes and said sadly: "I understand, I understand everything, but Zhou Rong begged me, I really couldn't refuse."

Zhang Yu was speechless at this moment. How could there be such a bootlicker!

"At least you should have informed me in advance!" He had no place to vent his anger.

"Zhou Rong asked me to keep it a secret from you and let me deliver the letter after the train left." Faced with this ultimate bootlicker, he really didn't want to talk anymore.

"You must not let mom know about this. She might not be able to accept it and faint." Zhang Yu told Cai Xiaoguang to keep it a secret.

Cai Xiaoguang sighed deeply and said, "Actually, I came here to say goodbye to you today. My dad is in prison, and I'm going to Liaoyang tomorrow."

Zhang Yu raised his eyebrows and asked in confusion: "Why is Uncle Cai like this? Isn't he always fine?"

Cai Xiaoguang smiled bitterly and shook his head: "In this world, nothing is impossible. Your eldest brother's girlfriend, Hao Dongmei, came from a family with a higher official position, but she still suffered misfortune."

Hearing this, Zhang Yu sighed helplessly and patted Cai Xiaoguang on the shoulder. He remembered that Cai Xiaoguang's father would soon resume his civilian status, and he might also return home and go to the tractor factory at that time.

"Take care of yourself when you get there, and write to me when you have time." Zhang Yu lamented, "I really hope you can be my brother-in-law."

Cai Xiaoguang smiled and said, "I have accepted your invitation to be my son-in-law. Ever since my father's accident, everyone has distanced themselves from me, and you are the only one who is willing to keep in touch with me."

"I believe uncle will be fine." After comforting him a few words, Cai Xiaoguang went home.

Looking at the letter from Zhou Rong, Zhang Yu gritted his teeth, put it carefully into his pocket, then opened the door and went back.

"Bingkun, what does Xiaoguang want to see you about?" Li Suhua asked in confusion.

"It's okay, just saying goodbye." Hiding the secret from Zhou Rong, Zhang Yu told Li Suhua about Cai Xiaoguang's father.

"Mom, I'm on vacation next week. How about we go to the hospital for a physical check-up?" Zhang Yu suggested.

"I'm not sick, why should I go to the hospital? It's a waste of money." Li Suhua complained.

Zhang Yu explained: "Mom, you know, when people get older, they need to have regular physical examinations so that early detection and early treatment can be achieved." He weaved a well-intentioned lie.

In the episode memory, when Li Suhua heard about the misfortune of Zhou Rong's husband Feng Huacheng, she fainted on the spot and was bedridden for two years due to cerebral hemorrhage. This disease is often caused by high blood pressure, and controlling blood pressure can effectively prevent attacks.

In order to prepare his mother before she knew the news about Zhou Rong, he insisted on taking Li Suhua for a checkup, and the results showed that she did have high blood pressure.

Hypertension is very common in China, especially among the elderly. Zhang Yu asked the doctor to prescribe some blood pressure medication, but when he heard that each bottle cost five yuan, Li Suhua refused to take the long-term medication.

"Mom, these medicines are for you. High blood pressure is very dangerous. Dad told me to take good care of you. If he knew that you didn't take your medicines on time..." he said pleadingly.

"Why is it so expensive? A bottle at five yuan can only last half a month at most, and it costs ten yuan a month. It's really heartless." Li Suhua felt distressed.

Zhang Yu held Li Suhua's hand tightly and said, "Mom, let alone ten yuan, I think I must buy the medicine even if it's fifty yuan. I only have one mother, and no amount of money can replace her."

Li Suhua was touched and said, "You are such a good child. I am very pleased that you have such a heart. You and your father work hard to make money. You must remember to save money to marry a wife in the future."

Zhang Yu said firmly: "I can choose not to have a wife, but I can never be without a mother!"

Li Suhua was so moved that she couldn't express it in words. She finally agreed to start taking the medicine. After buying the medicine and returning home, Zhang Yu insisted on accompanying her and personally watching her take the medicine, despite the high cost.

Despite taking the medicine, Zhang Yu still chose not to tell Zhou Rong about the matter for the time being, and waited until her high blood pressure was under better control. At two or three in the afternoon, Zhang Yu remembered the previous agreement with Chen's mother, said hello to Li Suhua, and went to the cinema.

When he arrived at the cinema, he saw Chen's mother, Chen Juan and Zheng Guangming were all there. He was secretly happy and walked forward quickly.

"Hello, my name is Zhou Bingkun." He took the initiative to greet Chen Juan.

Chen Juan blushed, lowered her head shyly and did not answer.

Zhang Yu was not anxious, and greeted Chen's mother and Zheng Guangming again. Zheng Guangming had limited vision and used a cane.

As soon as she saw Zhang Yu, Chen's mother's smile never faded. "Boy, I thought you weren't coming?" She asked with concern.

"Auntie, you can call me Kun'er or Bingkun. I had something at home this morning, so I accompanied mom to the hospital, which delayed me for some time." Zhang Yu added in response to Chen's mother.

"Is your mother okay?" Zheng's mother asked worriedly, and Zheng Juan also raised her eyes to pay attention.

"It's nothing serious, just a minor problem. Just prescribe some medicine." Zhang Yu explained.

Mother Chen was relieved. "I'm glad you're okay. Last time I heard you say that it's just you and your son at home, so you must take good care of yourselves."

"That's natural." Zhang Yu said without hesitation.

After hearing this, Zheng Juan's favorable impression of Zhang Yu increased. Because like her, he was a good kid who respected the elderly and loved the young. When the street office asked her to move to the countryside, she chose to escape because she was worried about her mother and brother.

"I've told your mother about you, and she agreed to meet me." Mother Chen said, holding Zheng Juan's hand.

Zhang Yu thanked excitedly: "Thank you, Auntie."

"What are you thanking me for? You young people should communicate more!" Chen's mother pulled Zheng Guangming away to create a chance for Zhang Yu and her daughter to spend time together.

After Zhang Yu and Zheng Juan were alone together, the scene became somewhat silent, and neither of them broke the silence first. In the end, it was Zheng Juan who broke the silence first.

"Mom told me about your determination, but do you really want to live with me?" Zheng Juan looked at Zhang Yu courageously.

Zhang Yu smiled and said, "I've thought about it a long time ago. As long as you agree, we can be together for three years and then get the marriage certificate when the time is right."

Zheng Juan said: "You know the current situation of my family. I can't abandon my mother and brother."

Zhang Yu nodded and assured: "I am not worried about your family. Since you choose to be with you, I am willing to accept you."

"But you don't understand." Zheng Juan's voice was dim: "My brother is blind. He may rely on me in the future. If you marry me, you will actually marry a mother and a brother who need my care."

In response, Zhang Yu promised: "Don't worry, I mean what I say. I will treat your mother as my own mother and your brother as my own brother."

It turned out that the silent Zheng Juan was feeling a little moved.

"You know how hard it is to take care of a blind brother. Your mother also has to bear the pressure." Zheng Juan continued, "You gave me hope. If you take away hope, you might as well not have given it to me in the first place."

After hearing the reason for Zheng Juan's worries, Zhang Yu felt even more distressed. "I have three years to show my true feelings. If you are not satisfied, I will leave naturally," Zhang Yu said.

Zheng Juan looked at Zhang Yu thoughtfully.

......

Finally, Zheng Juan decided to agree to Zhang Yu's pursuit, but put forward an important condition - to get to know each other deeply over a period of three years. If the relationship was stable by then and their families could accept it, they would consider formally entering into marriage.

Zhang Yu continued to help Chen's mother sell gourds that day. The grown man stepped forward to protect the orphans and widows from being bullied.

Chapter 32 Zheng Juan really appreciated Zhang Yu's excellent eloquence. He could comfort customers and make them happy, so that they could easily sell out all the candied haws. During the sales process, Zhang Yu always helped to clean up the stall and send customers home safely.

This time, he even personally sent the person all the way home, and when he said goodbye, he drank a glass of water before leaving.

The Zheng family's living conditions were not as good as the Zhou family's. The house was built of mud bricks, with many gaps around it, allowing cold wind to seep in, and the roof beams often leaked.

In response, Zhang Yu stated that he would bring some materials to help Zheng's mother repair the leaking hut next weekend.

Zheng Juan observed everything silently and kept it deep in her heart.

After returning to Zhou's house, Zhang Yu began to think about his livelihood. His income from the lumber mill had to support two families, which seemed a little stretched.

In fact, there are a lot of gold, silver and gems hidden in his private storage space, but at this special moment, it is not suitable to sell them publicly. After all, in the current crisis, caution is necessary.

Speaking of Zhou Rong...that's even more outrageous. He is now with his wife and children. If something goes wrong, the consequences will be far beyond what he can bear.

"It seems that I have to rely on legitimate ways to earn some pocket money." Zhang Yu felt quite troubled, but he knew that once the policies became relaxed, he would always have endless ideas for making money.

Unfortunately, we are in a special period now and all aspects are restricted. His goal is still to let Li Suhua and her son live a good life. Even if they only rely on 38 yuan a month, they can still live frugally.

Seeing Zhang Yu's worried face, Li Suhua thought he was still concerned about Zheng Juan, so she took the initiative to say, "I asked someone to inquire about Zheng Juan's family."

Hearing this, Zhang Yu looked at his mother in surprise and asked, "Mom, what did you say?"

Li Suhua responded: "The day you went to work, I ran into Zheng Juan on my way to the cinema. She is indeed a beautiful girl."

Zhang Yu asked doubtfully: "Mom, what do you want to say?"

Li Suhua explained: "I heard that Zheng Juan gave up the opportunity to work in the countryside because she wanted to take care of her sick mother and brother. Did you know that?"

Hearing this, Zhang Yu nodded: "Indeed, her family's financial situation is indeed not good. If she goes to the countryside, her mother and brother may not be able to make a living."

Li Suhua couldn't help but sigh and said, "Zheng Juan is indeed a good girl, but her family is too miserable."

Then, Zhang Yu expressed his thoughts: "As the ancients said, if you marry a virtuous woman, even the most difficult days will pass."

Li Suhua said distressedly: "Don't always think about Qiao Chunyan. She is our neighbor and I have watched her grow up. If you two get married, you will definitely not regret it."

Speaking of Chunyan, a scene that made Zhang Yu feel sick emerged in his mind again!

"Mom, I really don't have any other feelings for Chunyan. I just treat her as a sister." After saying this, Zhang Yu suppressed his discomfort and swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

Hearing this, Li Suhua sighed again and said with a sigh: "I have the same stubborn temper as your sister. Let's go visit your sister together during the weekend off."

Hearing this, Zhang Yu was shocked: "Mom, you have to walk dozens of miles back and forth, and you don't have a bicycle. Don't go."

Li Suhua's expression was firm: "You haven't seen your sister for two months. I really miss her so much and I'm worried about her living conditions."

Hearing this, Zhang Yu frowned and said defensively: "I have an appointment to help someone repair their house this weekend."

Li Suhua asked, "Is it Zheng Juan's?"

From Zhang Yu's silent but obvious eyes, his mother had guessed the answer.

"Don't forget your blood relationship." She knocked on Zhang Yu's head and complained, "You can't abandon your sister even if you have a new relationship."

Zhang Yu grumbled with dissatisfaction and thought: Zhou Rong only has high expectations for herself and the world of love.

He pleaded, "Mom, can I go see her next week when I'm off?"
