Siheyuan: Revenge of the Stupid Pillar

As soon as He Yuzhu entered the Liu family's door, the second aunt greeted him warmly, "Zhuzi, please take a seat..."

He Yuzhu smiled and said, "Second Aunt, I am bothering you again!"

The second aunt smiled and said, "Why bother you? We are not strangers!"

Liu Haizhong stared at Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu who were silent, and said, "You two don't have mouths, don't you know how to call for help?"

The two brothers trembled slightly and said tremblingly: "Brother Zhuzi!"

"Guangtian, Guangfu, you two brothers are getting more and more handsome!"

He Yuzhu turned to Liu Haizhong and said, "Second uncle, your family education is really good. The two brothers are well-educated, well-mannered and polite. They will definitely achieve great things in the future."

"They are nothing like the idiots in Widow Qin's family. They are disrespectful, thieving, and doing all kinds of evil!"

Liu Haizhong smiled and said, "That little bastard wasn't beaten well enough. If it was my child, I would beat him nine times in three days!"

As Liu Haizhong said this, he gave the two brothers a meaningful look, which made their backs chill and their legs tremble.

After a moment, the two brothers looked at He Yuzhu with resentment on their faces. They always felt that there must be something bad going on when Sha Zhu came to their house.

He Yuzhu asked casually: "Is Guangqi not at home?"

"Guangqi has some things to do at the factory, so he will be back later. Guangqi is doing well now, and his leaders value him very much..."

When talking about his eldest son, Liu Haizhong's face was full of pride and he talked incessantly.

He Yuzhu secretly pursed his lips and sneered in his heart: "Liu Haizhong, when you cry, the good boy you mentioned will run away from home and never have anything to do with you again."

Soon, all the dishes were served, including scrambled eggs, fried shredded potatoes, fried cabbage, and a roast duck.

Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu looked at the roast duck on the table, their eyes sparkled and they kept salivating.

Seeing this, Liu Haizhong's face turned pale and he angrily shouted, "You disgraceful thing, go to the kitchen and eat!"

The two brothers instantly turned into two defeated roosters, with their heads hung, looking back every few steps as they walked towards the kitchen.

After seeing his two disappointed sons leave, Liu Haizhong took the initiative to fill He Yuzhu's glass with wine.

"Zhu Zi, I'd like to offer you a toast. Thank you for your kind advice, which has helped me realize my dream!"

"Second uncle, you are too kind. A good ironmaker must be strong himself. I didn't do much. It's mainly because of your own strength!"

"Zhu Zi, you are good in every way except that you are too modest. Let's stop talking and drink!"

"Okay, everything depends on the wine. Second uncle, we have been neighbors for many years and have always had a good relationship. In the future, we will both be leaders of the steel rolling mill. We must support each other and make progress together."

"Zhu Zi, you are far-sighted. A hero has three helpers. We should unite sincerely and work together to make progress..."

……

A grandpa's house.

The old lady returned home angrily with a frown on her face.

Yi Zhonghai asked in confusion: "Didn't you just go to deliver food to the deaf old lady? Why did you come back so angry? Who provoked you?"

The aunt said coldly, "Who else could it be except that old man? She gave me a bracelet, thanked me, and said that I don't need to bring her food in the future. It's obvious that she wants to cut off ties with our family."

"A bracelet only costs a few dollars. I've been feeding her food for so long, but it's better to feed it to a dog..."

Yi Zhonghai frowned and said, "If she doesn't let you deliver food, does that mean she wants to cook for herself?"

The lady said angrily, "That old man can't even walk steadily, how can she cook for him? She said that from now on, Sha Zhu will bring her meals."

"Shazhu brought her food?"

Yi Zhonghai suddenly remembered something and his face changed drastically.

Seeing this, an old lady asked anxiously: "Lao Yi, what's wrong with you? You look so ugly..."

Yi Zhonghai's face was gloomy, and then he recounted the story of inviting the deaf old lady to act as a lobbyist at Sha Zhu's house.

Upon hearing this, the aunt gnashed her teeth and said, "So, that old woman chose Sha Zhu and gave up on us? I served her for so long, and in return I got a broken bracelet..."

"Wait, this idiot wants us to completely cut off our relationship, so what about our retirement?"

Yi Zhonghai thought for a long time with a serious face, and said in a deep voice: "I watched Shazhu grow up, I believe he will take care of us in our old age!"

The lady said anxiously, "Old Yi, don't you see that Sha Zhu has changed?"

"It's easy to change the country, but hard to change one's nature. Even if he changes, the kindness in his bones cannot be changed. What's more, we still have Qin Huairu..."

When Yi Zhonghai said this, his eyes were wandering, and it was obvious that he lacked confidence.

……

After eating and drinking, He Yuzhu said goodbye to Liu Haizhong.

As soon as He Yuzhu left Liu's house, he saw the deaf old lady opposite waving at him.

He Yuzhu raised his eyebrows slightly, walked over quickly, and said with a smile: "Old lady, what do you want?"

The deaf old lady said lovingly, "My dear grandson, let's go inside and talk!"

Upon hearing this, He Yuzhu carefully helped the deaf old lady into the house.

The deaf old lady felt He Yuzhu's sincerity and thoughtfulness, and grinned, revealing her two remaining front teeth.

"My dear grandson, I have decided. I will follow you from now on!"

He Yuzhu was not surprised by the deaf old lady's choice, but still pretended to be surprised and said: "Don't worry, old lady, I will definitely treat you as my own grandmother from now on."

"Okay, Zhuzi, you will be my grandson from now on!"

The deaf old lady smiled happily, and the wrinkles on her face stretched out like a blooming chrysanthemum.

The deaf old lady reached under the pillow, took out a cloth bag, and slowly opened it.

"Zhu Zi, this is my five-guarantee household certificate. With this certificate, you can go to the street to collect a five-yuan subsidy every month. This is the grain book, and these are various receipts. Grandma is giving them all to you now."

"Also, if you carry me to the street tomorrow, I will transfer my house to your name."

The deaf old lady is much more shrewd than Yi Zhonghai. She has long seen that Sha Zhu is a grateful person. If you are good to him, he will be ten times better to you.

If you calculate and guard everywhere like Yi Zhonghai, you will only push Sha Zhu further away.

The reason why she gave everything she had to Sha Zhu was to put herself in his shoes and let Sha Zhu feel her sincerity, so that Sha Zhu would treat her better.

She also learned that He Yuzhu was promoted to deputy director of the canteen, and that he had a bright future ahead of him, so he would never embezzle her money.

In addition, she wanted to transfer the house to He Yuzhu's name, and she also had her own little thoughts.

To transfer the ownership of a house, both parties must go to the street office so that someone from the street office can act as a witness.

With the testimony of the street office, He Yuzhu couldn't stop supporting her in her old age even if he wanted to.

He Yuzhu waved his hands hastily and said, "Old lady, I can't take these things. I support you in your old age purely to repay you, not to covet these things from you."

The deaf old lady said softly, "My dear grandson, I have watched you grow up, so how could I not know your nature? Of course, I also know that you are not supporting me in my old age just to covet my money and property!"

"But you are my only relative now. If I don't give these things to you, will I give them to Yi Zhonghai, Qin Huairu, Yan Bugui and others?"

"If you don't accept this, I won't let you support me in my old age!"

After much persuasion from the deaf old lady, He Yuzhu finally accepted her kindness reluctantly.
