"It would be the same for others, but it's a problem for him. You said he's a senior fitter in Yizhonghai Factory, and his salary is one of the highest in the yard. He's now the boss of the yard. The deaf old lady in the backyard is also close to his family, and she's your neighbor. He just came to you in the name of an elder or a boss in the yard. Who can say anything? What's more, you said that when your uncle left, you asked him to help take care of you. Why didn't he say anything yesterday?"

He Yuzhu slowly calmed down. This was his personality. There was nothing he could do about it. He had a bad temper and was still in a stage where he couldn't tell right from wrong. Jiang Feng knew that he couldn't come up with an answer, so he might as well tell him directly: "Brother Zhuzi, just remember what I said. Don't look at what a person says, but look at what he does."

"I heard all these things from you, just connect them together. If what Yi Zhonghai said was true, why didn't he say it at the meeting yesterday? If he said it at the meeting yesterday, he would take care of your family in the future. Do you think those aunties this morning would dare to take your house? He called you to ask about the situation secretly, afraid that others would see him. At present, he wants to create the impression that the adults in your family are gone and you have no one to rely on, and some people in the courtyard who want to take advantage will definitely plot against you. At the end, he will come out to take charge of the situation. He says he is helping you. In my opinion, he will let you save face and suffer a small loss, and then tell you that suffering a loss is a blessing and you should respect the elderly and love the young."

He Yuzhu was confused by what he heard, feeling anxious and angry, "Then what should we do now?" Jiang Feng was secretly happy that there was some effect. Jiang Feng picked up the steamed bun, took a bite, chewed it slowly for a few times, and drank a mouthful of porridge, "No hurry, we can't go to him now, he should be waiting for our He family to beg him." While Jiang Feng was speaking, he also had some ideas, his uncle was gone, this silly Zhu might not be reliable, he had to reveal in his words that we are a family.

"Anyway, we have to go to Baocheng tomorrow. If there is nothing to do today, we can just do what we need to do. Don't pay attention to the people in the hospital. If anyone comes to ask, you can look at my eyes. Anyway, don't make any promises, don't know, or be unclear, or postpone it until after we go to Baocheng."

He Yuzhu nodded in agreement. Jiang Feng turned to He Yushui and said, "Yushui, don't tell anyone what you heard today. If someone asks you, just say you don't know. If we are tricked, we won't even have a place to sleep." He Yushui nodded repeatedly when he heard this. I'll listen to my brother.

After Jiang Feng and his friends finished their meal, they cleared the table and said to He Yuzhu, "You need to go to your master's house this afternoon and tell him about the situation. You can take the train tomorrow and take a few days off. Before you go, you need to find an auntie and take our underwear to sew some small pockets on it while the uncle is still at work."

He Yuzhu agreed, and Jiang Feng went into the inner room and took out the underwear of the three people. At that time, some people would sew a small pocket on their pants to hide money, stuff the money inside, and wear several layers of clothes on the outside. He Yuzhu took the clothes and walked towards Yi Zhonghai's house.

I knocked on the door and asked, "Auntie, are you home? I'm Zhuzi."

"Zhu Zi, you are here, have you eaten yet?"

"I've eaten. I have something I want to ask you for help with." He Yuzhu told him that he was going to Baocheng to find He Daqing. He took out some clothes and said that it was unsafe outside as there were too many petty thieves. He wanted to sew small pockets on his inner clothes.

An old lady looked at him with pity and said, "Are you all going? It's raining so lightly, and the ride will take a long time."

"Yes, Xiaofeng and I will take Yushui with us. We will keep an eye on her on the way. I am worried about leaving her alone at home. She also wants to go find He Daqing."

The lady took the clothes and said, "I'll sew them for you. You can come and get them later." He Yuzhu said, "I still have to go to my master's place. I need to take a few days off."

"Okay, then come get it when you get back."

He Yuzhu responded, turned around and went back to the house, said hello to Jiang Feng and He Yushui, and walked towards his master's house after leaving the hospital.

When he arrived at the master's house, he saw his master's wife washing clothes at the door. He Yuzhu walked up to her and called out, "Master's wife."

When Li Cuifang saw that it was He Yuzhu who came, she quickly stood up and said, "Zhuzi, have you eaten yet?"

He Yuzhu said, "I have eaten. I came to tell my master that I need to take three days off. I will go to Baocheng tomorrow and will not be back until the day after tomorrow."

"If a few people go, what about your sister?"

"Let's go together. The tickets have been bought." Li Cuifang's eyes were filled with heartache. She said, "Wait for me," and went into the house. She came out with a cloth bag in her hand: "Zhu Zi, take it. There are a few eggs in it. Go back and cook them to eat on the way. Here is 100,000 yuan. Bring more money when you go out and be careful on the road."

When He Yuzhu saw it, he took the eggs and said, "Master's wife, I have money. He Daqing left some for us when he left. It's enough for us to go back and forth."

The master's wife opened He Yuzhu's pocket and stuffed the money in. "This is what your master and his wife gave you. Just keep it if they tell you to. You should spend money sparingly. Don't show off your wealth outside. Keep all the money you have safe."

He Yuzhu responded by saying thank you to his master's wife, and said that he had other things to do when he returned from Baocheng, and would come to visit his master and his master's wife again.

After saying goodbye to his master's wife, He Yuzhu walked back with the eggs in his hand. When he entered the courtyard, the door god was not on duty today. He Yuzhu was not in the mood to greet anyone, so he walked in with a gloomy face.

After entering the house, I saw a woman sitting in the house and forced a smile: "Auntie, you are here."

"Zhu Zi, I have finished sewing the clothes and gave them to Xiao Feng. Look, rain can write now, and it writes pretty well."

"Yes, Xiaofeng taught him at home. Yushui will also go to school this year, and now he can write from one to ten." After saying that, He Yuzhu took the eggs in his hand to the kitchen. When he turned around and came out, an auntie was about to leave. After a few polite words, the auntie also went back into the house.

Jiang Feng watched He Yuzhu go to the kitchen and followed him in: "Brother Zhuzi, an aunt brought a few eggs over. I put them in the kitchen and said they were for you to take with you on the road."

"My master's wife also gave us a few. We'll cook them together tomorrow morning." After counting, the aunt took three and the master's family gave six. They were all calculated and divided equally among the three of them.

In the afternoon, several people stayed at home. Those who needed to change clothes changed, and stuffed the big bills into the pockets of their underwear, including He Yushui, who put 200,000 yuan in there. Among the three, only Jiang Feng had walked a long way, but he was wearing rags at that time. How could a "Buddha" be so blind as to stare at a little beggar?

He Yuzhu took out 600,000 yuan and gave it to Jiang Feng to keep. He still had 1 million yuan on him. The two took out the loose bills from their pockets. He Yuzhu still had more than 130,000 yuan in his hand, including the 100,000 yuan given by the master's wife at noon. Jiang Feng only had a little money left for buying tickets, which was 120,000 or 30,000 yuan. He Yuzhu said, "Xiao Feng, give me 100,000 yuan. I'll go buy things on the way. You just need to take care of Yu Shui along the way."

Jiang Feng counted out 100,000 and handed it to He Yuzhu. They each put the money away. Seeing that it was still early, Jiang Feng said, "Brother Zhuzi, there is no food at home. How about I go out and buy some food? We still need to eat in the evening."

He Yuzhu said, "Okay, let's see what's available in the market and buy some."

Jiang Feng tidied himself up, checked to see if he was clean, then opened the door and went out. He walked outside the yard and headed towards the vegetable market, thinking that he would have some meat today. When he got to the market, he saw that the pork was gone, and there were only some bones and the like left. He asked the price, and it was 2,500 yuan per pound. Jiang Feng had some in his own storage compartment, so he just came out to get a price so that he could negotiate it when he got back.

After walking around the market and buying some radishes, cabbages, potatoes and the like, Jiang Feng walked back with the basket. When he was almost at the yard, he turned into an empty alley, took out two large bones, put them in the basket, and covered them with cabbage.

When he entered the yard, he saw the third uncle standing at the door again. "Third uncle, it's time to get off work." Jiang Feng greeted him.

When the third uncle saw the vegetable basket in Jiang Feng's hand, he didn't want to pay attention to it at first, but his nose moved and he smelled the aroma of meat. He squinted his eyes and smiled and said, "Xiao Feng, you went out to buy vegetables. Let me see what you bought." He then reached into the basket and looked through it.

Jiang Feng took a look and shrank back, avoiding the hand of the third uncle, then he said: "I didn't buy anything. There is nothing left in the market now. The pork is all sold out. I picked up two bones and came back to make some soup for Yu Shui to drink."

After saying that, he took out the bones in the basket and showed them to the third uncle. When the third uncle saw that they were bones, he was not very interested. It was not yet a difficult period, and there was no rationing per person. Although the third uncle's family had a large population, they could still have some meat every month. The third uncle was not at the point in the later period where he had to pull a garlic when passing by. He was forced to do so later because of life.

Jiang Feng walked into the middle courtyard after he finished speaking. After entering the house, he called He Yuzhu and said, "Brother Zhuzi, you are a good cook. Boil these two bones and give them to Yushui later."

He Yuzhu took a look and thought it was pretty good, except that there wasn't much meat on the bones: "I shouldn't have bought bones, there isn't much meat."

"The market is gone, so only the bones are left. But they are cheaper than meat. Two pounds is only 5,400 yuan, so it's still a bit profitable."

He Yuzhu didn't say anything after hearing this. He poked the stove and started to boil water. Jiang Feng saw He Yuzhu busy in the kitchen and said, "I'll go check on the rain. Call me when you light the fire."

He Yushui felt sleepy not long after Jiang Feng left in the afternoon. She was still sleeping on the bed in the inner room. Jiang Feng looked at her and saw that she was sleeping soundly, so he didn't call her. He would call her when the meal was ready.

He went into the house and sat on a stool, thinking about what he should do when he went to Baocheng tomorrow. First of all, he had to convince He Yuzhu. According to He Yuzhu's personality, as mentioned in the play, he went to Baocheng and didn't even see anyone, and was driven back by the White Widow.

We can definitely find someone using my method, but it is difficult to change He Yuzhu's stubborn character. Now he treats Yu Shui well. The best thing is to find He Daqing, ask about the situation, and break out of this vicious circle of being taken care of by Yi Zhonghai. As long as there is no brainwashing education from Yi Zhonghai, it will be okay for He Yuzhu to become a widow in the later period. We just need to find him a wife as soon as possible.
