Siheyuan: Revenge of the Stupid Pillar

He Yuzhu said with a smile on his face: "Big fool, I was not sure before that it was you who reported the secret, but now I am finally sure. You clearly left the courtyard, but you said you didn't. It is obvious that you have something to hide!"

Xu Damao looked flustered and quickly denied, "You're talking nonsense. I was in the courtyard the whole time and didn't go out at all!"

Sun Jinfeng said, "Xu Damao, stop quibbling. Not only did Zhuzi see you go out, but I saw you too!"

"Xu Damao, if you don't want others to know, then don't do it. I saw it too!"

"Xu Damao, everyone is not blind, I saw it too!"

"I saw it too!"

Seeing that he could not deny it, Xu Damao said angrily: "So what if I went out? He Yuzhu also went out, and I said that it was He Yuzhu who went to inform Director Fang?"

He Yuzhu said calmly, "I did go out, but I never denied it, and you are desperately denying it. Obviously you have something to hide!"

Sun Jinfeng smiled and said, "Xu Damao, just report it. No one blames you. Why are you so anxious to deny it?"

"Yes! In fact, we should thank you. If you hadn't informed Director Fang, Jia Zhang wouldn't have been taken to the police station."

"That's right, we should actually thank Damao. Now that Jia Zhang is in prison, our compound can have some peace and quiet for a while!"

He Yuzhu was surprised and said, "What? Jia Zhang was arrested and imprisoned again?"

Liu Haizhong gloated, "Yes! This old hag is as stupid as a pig. She preached feudal superstition in front of Director Fang. Director Fang was furious and wanted to send her to the police station on the spot."

"You don't know Jia Zhang's character. She threw a tantrum and made a fuss. She just didn't want to go. Director Fang was helpless for a while."

"Finally, I came up with a plan. I had people tie up Jia Zhang's hands and feet, and carry her to the police station like a fat pig..."

Liu Haizhong was talking with great joy, his eyes revealing a look of pride that he couldn't hide.

As He Yuzhu listened, the scene of Jia Zhang being carried away instantly came to his mind, and he couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Master, you did a great job. This is the right way to deal with a bitch like this!"

Liu Haizhong listened to He Yuzhu's praise with a slight smile on his face, obviously feeling very pleased.

"By the way, how long was Jia Zhang sentenced to?" He Yuzhu asked again.

Liu Haizhong shook his head and said, "I don't know yet. The verdict should be issued tomorrow. I guess it won't be short this time. After all, Jia Zhang has committed crimes again and again and has refused to change despite repeated admonitions..."

Sun Jinfeng said bitterly: "It's better if she never comes out. Without her, the whole compound will be peaceful."

Time flies like water, and a month goes by in a flash.

During this month, He Yuzhu's only achievement was passing the exam and obtaining his junior high school diploma.

On the day he received his graduation certificate, He Yuzhu invited Ran Qiuye to the courtyard to celebrate with him.

The young man tasted the forbidden fruit for the first time and became addicted to it, and soon rolled into bed.

After the clouds clear up and the rain stops.

Ran Qiuye lay lazily in He Yuzhu's arms and whispered, "Brother He, when will you come to my house to propose marriage?"

He Yuzhu joked: "Didn't you say you didn't want to marry me?"

Ran Qiuye pinched He Yuzhu casually and said angrily:

"Don't you know that girls like to say the opposite of what they mean? You've taken advantage of her completely, who else can she marry if not you?"

He Yuzhu immediately begged for mercy: "It's my fault! It's my fault! I will prepare the gifts tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow, Sunday, will be the perfect time for me to go to your house and propose marriage!"

Ran Qiuye's eyes flashed with shyness, and she said proudly: "That's more like it!"

The next day, He Yuzhu came to his master's house as soon as he got off work.

He Yuzhu got straight to the point and said, "Master, I need your help!"

Lu Dahai said seriously: "Zhu Zi, if you need any help, please ask as soon as possible. I will definitely help if I can."

He Yuzhu said shyly, "Master, I am going to propose to my girlfriend tomorrow. I hope you can go with me."

Lu Dahai said excitedly: "Oh, I thought it was something else, but it turned out to be such a good thing. I will definitely help you!"

He Yuzhu laughed dryly: "Master, I don't know what procedures are required to propose marriage, what gifts I need to buy, I need your help!"

Lu Tiezhu said sternly: "Proposing a marriage is generally divided into four steps: inquiring, seeing each other, matching, and proposing."

"Inquiring means finding out the other party's basic situation before proposing marriage. I believe you have already taken this step."

"Meeting each other? It's also called 'blind date'. You are in a free love relationship, so you don't need to take this step."

"Marriage matching? It means exchanging birth dates and finding a fortune teller to calculate whether you two are incompatible. But now it's New China, and many families don't care about this anymore."

"Propose marriage? It means the man's family will ask a matchmaker, family, relatives or friends to propose marriage to the woman's family. This process is called propose marriage."

"When you come to propose marriage, our custom is to bring six gifts, including cigarettes, alcohol, candy, tea, snacks and fruit, and it's best to have double portions."

"There are four steps. You have basically completed the first three steps. The only thing left is to go to the door and propose marriage."

"It's best to propose in the morning, not too late. You usually have to have lunch at the girl's house at noon..."

Hearing this, He Yuzhu hurriedly stood up and said anxiously: "Then I will go buy a gift now!"

Lu Dahai said lovingly, "I'll go buy it for you tomorrow morning. Snacks and fruits don't last long, so it's best to buy them on the same day."

"Zhu Zi, all you have to do is dress yourself up nicely tomorrow and pick me up to go to your future father-in-law's house!"

He Yuzhu touched the back of his head and said with a silly smile: "How can I be so embarrassed?"

"Why should I be embarrassed about this? This is something that parents should do. As the saying goes, a teacher is a father for life. Since your father is not around, I, as your teacher, should take on this responsibility."

When Lu Dahai said this, he suddenly cursed: "Your father is really a piece of shit. He left for more than ten years and didn't send a single letter back. We don't even know whether he is dead or alive."

"He is so cruel. He abandoned you and your brother when you were little. He has not cared about you for so many years. Is his heart really made of stone? Don't let me find him, or I will beat him until he can't take care of himself."

He Yuzhu wanted to tell him the truth, but he was afraid that he couldn't explain it clearly, so he could only comfort him softly:

"Master, don't be angry. It's all in the past. Besides, I'm fine now. I'm getting married soon. Don't let these unhappy things affect your mood."

Lu Dahai's eyes were slightly red, and he said with pity on his face: "Zhu Zi, you have suffered a lot these years."

He Yuzhu said calmly: "Master, I am not suffering, and this is not all bad. Suffering has tempered my will and made me stronger."
