Siheyuan: Revenge of the Stupid Pillar

He Yuzhu said in a deep voice: "That's good. From now on, you have to learn how to wash clothes, cook, and do housework..."

"What, I still have to do laundry and cooking?" He Yushui's face was full of surprise.

"Snapped!"

He Yuzhu slapped her again without any hesitation.

"Wuwu...Brother, just say it, why do you always hit me?" He Yushui cried with a look of grievance on her face.

He Yuzhu only used a little bit of strength. If he had used all his strength, He Yushui's teeth would have fallen out long ago.

He Yuzhu angrily scolded: "You just didn't get beaten enough. It's all my fault that I treated you too well. You don't even know your own name or surname?"

"I still need to wash clothes and cook? Are you a princess of the royal family or the daughter of a prime minister? Look around our compound, is there any girl your age who doesn't know how to wash clothes and cook?"

"Which in-laws would be willing to let a lazy woman like you in?"

"Besides, our He family is a family of chefs. Your grandfather is a chef, your father is a chef, and my brother and I are also chefs. If people knew that you, the younger sister, can't cook, they would laugh their heads off!"

"Brother, please stop talking. Can't I change it?"

Hearing this, He Yuzhu's tone softened a little.

"Knowing that change is not hopeless, take a bowl of chicken from the pot to the deaf old lady in the backyard, and then come back for dinner."

When He Yushui saw that He Yuzhu was not as angry as before, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. She was really afraid that He Yuzhu would kick him out of the house if they disagreed with him.

Although He Yushui is short-sighted, she is not stupid. She knows clearly that the happy life she has now is all given by He Yuzhu. If there is no He Yuzhu, she really has to beg.

He Yushui wiped the tears from her face and said happily, "Brother, I got it. I'll take it to the deaf old lady right away!"

He Yuzhu looked at He Yushui's departing back, the corners of his mouth curled up, "It seems that there is still hope for saving this ungrateful wolf!"

He Yuzhu has complicated feelings towards the deaf old lady.

The deaf old lady wanted him to take care of her in her old age, so she teamed up with Yi Zhonghai to take He Daqing away, making He Daqing a real orphan with no father at all.

But the deaf old lady treated him sincerely, and even the romance between him and Lou Xiao'e was facilitated by her.

The old lady let him have a son, He Xiao, so that he would not be without an heir, and she left all her house and property to him on her deathbed.

This old lady plotted against him but also loved him, and he didn't know whether he should hate her or respect her.

In addition, the identity of this old lady is a mystery, and important figures like the director of the steel mill and the director of the street office seem to owe her favors.

Moreover, the old lady's prestige in the compound is unmatched. As long as she protects him, no one dares to bully him.

Although with his current skills, he is the only one who can bully others and no one can bully her, but it is easy to dodge an arrow from the open but difficult to guard against an arrow from the dark.

Besides, he will get married and have children. With an old lady like this in charge of the backyard, he will have no worries.

After analyzing the pros and cons, He Yuzhu decided to give the deaf old lady a chance, but on the condition that she must break up with the hypocrite Yi Zhonghai.

As soon as He Yushui went out, Qin Huairu followed quietly.

"Yushui, how are you? Did you have a fight with your brother?"

He Yushui said softly: "Sister Qin, wait a moment, I will talk to you after I deliver the chicken to the deaf old lady!"

Qin Huairu paused, "Okay, I'll wait for you!"

After a while, He Yushui came back.

"Sister Qin, what happened in the hospital today? My brother seems to have become a different person?"

"I just called him idiot, and he slapped me several times. Not only did he cut my living allowance in half, but he also asked me to do laundry, cooking, and housework."

Qin Huairu's face suddenly changed when she heard this. He Yuzhu asked He Yushui to do the laundry, cooking and housework in the future. It was obvious that he didn't want to have anything to do with her anymore. He really wanted to cut off all ties with him. She was immediately at a loss...

Seeing Qin Huairu's distracted eyes and pale face, He Yushui asked worriedly, "Sister Qin, what's wrong with you?"

Qin Huairu woke up as if from a dream, "Oh, it's okay, Sister Qin has something else to do, so I'll leave first!"

"Sister Qin..."

He Yushui wanted to find out what was going on, but Qin Huairu had already disappeared into the darkness.

He Yushui turned around and went home, only to find that He Yuzhu had started eating and drinking recklessly.

He Yushui was slightly stunned. At this moment, he realized that his silly brother had really changed and didn't love her as much as before.

If she hadn't come to the table before, his brother would never have picked up his chopsticks, but now he was just eating and drinking.

Thinking of this, He Yushui's nose felt sore and she almost shed tears.

"What are you still doing there? Aren't you hungry?"

He Yuzhu's tone was cold and emotionless, and he looked at him as if he were a stranger.

He Yushui was so aggrieved that she kept crying, "Brother, what's wrong with you? You were not like this before!"

He Yuzhu raised his sword-like eyebrows slightly and chuckled, "What should I do then? Should I still be devoted to you like before? But what will I get in return?"

"He Yushui, I think I am a good enough brother. I have done everything I should and shouldn't do, but what have you done for me?"

He Yuzhu's question stumped him instantly. Over the years, it had all been his brother's one-sided efforts, and she had really never done anything for her elder brother.

He Yuzhu saw He Yushui stammering but unable to say anything, and said sarcastically, "You can't remember, because there is nothing, not even something as small as bringing a cup of tea!"

He Yushui showed a rare look of guilt on his face, "Brother, I was negligent before, I will definitely repay you in the future!"

He Yuzhu sneered, "With your ungrateful nature, I don't expect you to repay me."

"You will be eighteen in a year anyway, and you will graduate from high school. For the sake of my deceased mother, I will fulfill He Daqing's obligation to raise you!"

He Yushui said indignantly: "Brother, I am not an ungrateful person. When I graduate and start working, I will definitely honor you well."

He Yuzhu said disdainfully: "Who doesn't talk big? Okay, let's eat!"

He Yushui was annoyed when she saw that He Yuzhu didn't believe him, but she knew that it would be futile to say more now. She decided to wait until she had the ability to do so and then give her silly brother a slap in the face.

He Yushui went to the table in a depressed mood and decided to turn his grief into food. When he took the first piece of chicken into his mouth, his eyes instantly lit up.

"Brother, your cooking skills have improved again. This chicken is so delicious!"

He Yuzhu frowned, "Don't talk when you eat, don't talk when you sleep, can't you shut your mouth even if there's food?"

He Yushui said dissatisfiedly: "Brother, what are you doing? I am not your enemy. Why do you treat me like this?"

He Yuzhu glared and said, "Shut up, if you want to eat, eat well, if you don't want to eat, get out!"

Suddenly, He Yushui's tears came out again.
