Siheyuan: Revenge of the Stupid Pillar

The warm morning light shone into the room through the gap in the window and sprinkled on He Yuzhu's face. He Yuzhu slowly opened his eyes.

He Yuzhu subconsciously raised one arm and found that it was empty. Then he realized that he was reborn but did not have a watch.

It was too inconvenient to live without a watch, so he decided to buy a watch today. Li Huaide happened to give him a watch ticket.

He Yuzhu stood up and opened the door, and found smoke rising from the houses of his neighbors on both sides, so he immediately walked towards the kitchen.

Not long after, the yam and lotus seed porridge was cooked.

He Yuzhu first brought a bowl to the deaf old lady in the backyard. When the deaf old lady saw the fragrant yam and lotus seed porridge, a gentle smile appeared on her face, and she seemed particularly kind and amiable.

After eating the steaming lotus seed porridge, He Yuzhu went to work feeling refreshed. But as soon as he walked to the front yard, his good mood was instantly swept away.

Yan Bugui stuck to him like a dog-skin plaster, smiling and saying, "Zhu Zi, are you going to work?"

He Yuzhu nodded slightly and continued pushing his bicycle forward.

Yan Bugui hurriedly caught up with him, and said with a face full of shame: "Zhu Zi, I may not be able to help you speak well of Teacher Ran. I have to be busy with Jie Cheng's work recently, so I can only apologize."

He Yuzhu was furious when he heard this. This bastard was obviously threatening him. If he didn't help his son find a job, he would not introduce Ran Qiuye to him.

"I never had any illusions about you introducing me to someone, but you took so many things from me but didn't do anything for me. How can such a good thing be possible in this world?"

"Yan Bugui, you treat me like a fool and tease me again and again. Since you are so unkind, don't blame me for being unjust. Today I will give you a big surprise, and I hope you can bear it."

He Yuzhu suppressed his anger and said calmly, "Uncle, it's getting late. I have to go to work. If you have anything to say, we can talk after get off work this afternoon."

After He Yuzhu finished speaking, he got on his bicycle, pedaled hard a few times, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Yan Bugui looked at He Yuzhu's departing back with a frown on his face. He suddenly realized that things seemed to be out of his control, and he felt inexplicably panicked.

Yan Bugui shook off the distracting thoughts in his mind, rode his bicycle and went to work.

He Yuzhu came to the cafeteria with a gloomy face and said coldly: "Come here!"

Seeing that He Yuzhu looked unhappy, everyone approached him cautiously.

Liu Lan asked with concern: "Zhu Zi, what's wrong with you?"

He Yuzhu said angrily: "I was tricked into marriage!"

"Marriage fraud?"

Everyone's faces were filled with surprise, and then with indignation.

Ma Hua said angrily: "Master, who is the woman who deceived you? I will go and seek justice for you immediately."

Qin Shou and others also shouted that they would go and seek justice for He Yuzhu.

Seeing this, He Yuzhu nodded with satisfaction and said calmly: "The one who deceived me was a female teacher from Red Star Primary School!"

Ma Hua took off his chef's hat and threw it on the chopping board. "How ridiculous! Master, I will go to Hongxing Primary School to find this female teacher now..."

After Ma Hua finished speaking, he walked out of the kitchen.

"Stop, if you leave, what about lunch? Do you want me to cook it?"

"Also, do you know the girl's name? If you go alone like this, I'm afraid you won't even be able to get through the school gate, so how can you seek justice for me?"

"Ma Hua, you are already an adult, why are you still so reckless? How can I let you take charge of the third canteen?" He Yuzhu scolded loudly.

Ma Hua lowered his head in shame and said, "Master, you are right!"

Qin Shou volunteered, "Master He, I will go and seek justice for you. I know Red Star Primary School well!"

Chu Sheng: "I'll go too!"

Fan Tong: "I'll go too!"

All three of them wanted to become He Yuzhu's disciples, so naturally they all wanted to please him.

He Yuzhu said with pride: "I should avenge myself, how can I use someone else's hand to do it?"

Ma Hua said with a little concern: "Master, you are alone and weak, how about I go with you?"

He Yuzhu shook his head and said, "You can't go. The cafeteria can't do without you. Qin Shou, Chu Sheng, Fan Tong, the three of you go with me and help me to strengthen my reputation."

"Okay!"

As the three of them spoke, they began to take off their aprons.

"Wait, let's finish the kitchen work first, otherwise Ma Hua and Liu Lan won't be able to handle it."

"Master He, you are really thoughtful!"

An hour and a half later, the work in the kitchen was basically completed, and He Yuzhu, Qin Shou and the other two prepared to go to Hongxing Primary School.

Liu Lan said worriedly: "Zhu Zi, don't be too impulsive, don't make things end badly!"

He Yuzhu gave him a reassuring smile, "Don't worry, I will be able to handle this properly!"

Walking out of the kitchen, He Yuzhu suddenly realized that among the four of them, only he had a bicycle.

The steel rolling mill is estimated to be two or three kilometers away from Hongxing Primary School. If you walk there, it will take about half an hour, and an hour to go there and back, which is too time-consuming.

He Yuzhu asked: "Qin Shou, you all know how to ride a bicycle, right?"

Qin Shou: “I will!”

Chu Sheng: "I can!"

Fan Tong: "I can't!"

He Yuzhu smiled and said, "It's okay. As long as one of you three can do it, it will be fine. Walking is too slow. I'll go borrow a bicycle and we can go there by bicycle."

Bicycles were still a rare commodity back then. Very few ordinary employees owned one, but almost all leaders had one.

He Yuzhu planned to borrow a bicycle from Ma Guangfu and ask for leave from him at the same time.

"Qin Shou, the three of you go to the parking shed and wait for me. I'm going to borrow a bicycle from Director Ma!"

He Yuzhu said this and went to Ma Guangfu's office.

When Ma Guangfu saw He Yuzhu, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, "Zhuzi, do you have something to ask me?"

He Yuzhu said directly: "Director, I want to ask you for leave to go out and do something!"

Ma Guangfu asked gently, "How many times do you need to wait?"

He Yuzhu smiled and said, "About an hour. I'd like to borrow your bike!"

Ma Guangfu said cheerfully: "No problem! Wait, I remember you seem to have a bicycle?"

"There's something wrong with my bicycle, so I'm repairing it at the repair shop!" He Yuzhu lied without hesitation.

Ma Guangfu nodded slightly, then handed the car keys to He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu thanked them and then went to the parking shed to meet Qin Shou and others.

Four people, two bicycles, each carrying one person.

He Yuzhu got on his bicycle and asked with a smile, "Who's sitting behind me?"

Chu Sheng said in a slightly flattering tone: "Master He, if you can pick us up, I will pick you up!"

He Yuzhu did not refuse and chuckled, "Okay! Beast, come and pick me up!"

The smile on Chu Sheng's face froze instantly, and he said depressedly: "Master He, my name is Chu Sheng, not a beast!"

He Yuzhu said innocently, "My name is Chu Sheng!"
