Siheyuan: Revenge of the Stupid Pillar

Yi Zhonghai said angrily, "Xu Damao, please be more polite. My method doesn't work, so what good method do you have?"

Xu Damao hesitated for a moment, then said, "Pretend nothing happened. From now on, follow He Yuzhu. I don't believe that we won't be able to find his target."

"Don't be so smart as to test him. Once he notices it, he will definitely be more defensive, which will make it more difficult to track him."

"Of course, the premise of all this is that Shazhu hasn't gotten a marriage certificate yet."

Yan Bugui shook his head and said, "Perhaps we don't need to go through so much trouble. We can go to the nearby matchmaker to ask. Sha Zhu has such a bad relationship with people, so he must have found someone through a matchmaker."

Yi Zhonghai was overjoyed when he heard this: "Yes! Such a simple truth, why didn't I think of it? Let's go find a matchmaker now."

Xu Damao sighed and said, "Let's go back to the courtyard first and confirm whether Sha Zhu has obtained a marriage certificate. If he has, it would be useless for us to go find a matchmaker now."

Qin Huairu asked: "How can we be sure whether Sha Zhu is married? Didn't you say that we can't test him?"

Xu Damao blurted out: "Idiot, if Sha Zhu really got married, he would definitely bring his wife home. There is no need for us to test him."

Yi Zhonghai rubbed his brows and said helplessly: "Okay, let's go to the courtyard first. It's noon now, so we can go home for dinner."

The four of them returned to the courtyard and found that Sha Zhu had not returned home.

After lunch, Yan Bugui, Xu Damao and Qin Huairu quickly came to Yi Zhonghai's house.

Yi Zhonghai said solemnly, "It seems that Sha Zhu is most likely going to propose marriage in person. Only by proposing marriage in person can you have lunch at the girl's house."

Yan Bugui raised his eyebrows and said, "Lao Yi, you can go ask the deaf old lady..."

Yi Zhonghai shook his head and said, "The deaf old lady is very clever. As long as I ask, she will know my purpose. Not only will I not get any information, but it will also arouse Sha Zhu's vigilance."

Li Guifang suddenly said, "No need to ask the deaf old lady. I just saw that it was Wang Shufen who brought lunch to that old man. From this, I can judge that Sha Zhu did go to the girl's house to propose marriage today."

Yi Zhonghai said in a deep voice: "Time waits for no one, let's go find the matchmaker to get the news now!"

"Yes!" Yan Bugui said in a serious tone: "In order to save time, let's ask separately. I'll go to the east of the city!"

Yi Zhonghai: "Then I'll go to the south of the city!"

Xu Damao: "I'm from the west of the city!"

Qin Huairu: "I'm from the north of the city!"

The four of them agreed to separate and go to the areas they were responsible for.

……

He Yuzhu returned to the courtyard and immediately went to the deaf old lady's house.

The deaf old lady couldn't wait to ask: "Zhu Zi, has the wedding date been set?"

He Yuzhu smiled and said, "It's settled, on the 16th of next month!"

The deaf old lady frowned slightly: "The sixteenth of next month, isn't that a whole month away? Why is it taking so long? Don't you know that if you delay, things will change easily?"

He Yuzhu said helplessly: "This is an auspicious day chosen by Qiuye's parents. I can't object."

The deaf old lady said seriously, "Zhu Zi, this month is very important. You must stay alert and don't let the bad guys take advantage of you."

"The bad thing is that Yi Zhonghai and his friends seem to have discovered that you have a partner. Today, I accidentally discovered that Yan Bugui, Xu Damao, and Qin Huairu went to Yi Zhonghai's house."

"They closed the door and conspired for a long time, then left the courtyard in a hurry."

He Yuzhu heard this and pretended to be calm and said, "Old lady, don't worry. I have done a good job of keeping it secret. Those bastards can't find Qiu Ye."

Although He Yuzhu appeared calm on the surface, he was inexplicably nervous in his heart. This morning, Yan Bugui asked Yan Jiefang to follow him, and he knew that Yan Bugui suspected that he had a partner.

Now, after listening to the deaf old lady's words, he realized that the four treacherous people, Yi Zhonghai, Yan Bugui, Xu Damao and Qin Huairu, had formed an alliance with the aim of destroying his marriage.

Being targeted by these four treacherous men, he felt like a thorn in his back.

He Yuzhu secretly cursed himself for being too careless and too arrogant. Why did he have to dress up in fine clothes when he left the courtyard? He could have gone to the small courtyard to dress up!

"My dear mother, I have already proposed marriage, but you still have to live in fear."

Thinking of this, He Yuzhu became surprisingly angry.

People have no intention to harm tigers, but tigers have the intention to hurt people. Since you don't know what's good for you, you can't blame me.

I originally wanted to wait until after we got married before having fun with you guys, but since you’re so eager to die, you can’t blame me.

The deaf old lady said seriously: "Zhu Zi, don't take it lightly. You must be more cautious at this time, otherwise it will be easy to fail..."

He Yuzhu nodded seriously, "Don't worry, old lady, I know my limits."

The deaf old lady grinned and said, "Since you know your limits, I won't say anything more."

"Oh, by the way, the rain came back, and I gave her ten yuan for living expenses, and she went back to school."

Upon hearing this, He Yuzhu just nodded slightly, as if this matter had nothing to do with him.

The deaf old lady couldn't help but ask, "Zhu Zi, are you really going to ignore the rain?"

He Yuzhu said calmly, "I didn't ignore her. Didn't I give her living expenses every month?"

"Besides, I am only her brother by blood, not her parent, and I have no obligation to raise her."

"Besides, I have provided her with food, clothing, and education for all these years, and raised her to adulthood. Isn't it good enough for my brother to do this?"

The deaf old lady sighed and said, "That's not what I meant. I meant to say that you and Yu Shui can never go back to the way you were before?"

"After my observation for some time, Yu Shui really knows she is wrong, and she is trying to correct it. After all, you two are siblings who have depended on each other since childhood. There is no need to act like strangers."

He Yuzhu said expressionlessly: "Old lady, please don't worry about this matter. I will never give that ungrateful wolf the chance to hurt me again."

"Also, don't tell that ungrateful person that I'm getting married, and don't tell her the identity of my partner."

The deaf old lady raised her eyebrows and asked, "Are you worried that the rain will betray you?"

He Yuzhu said coldly: "I wouldn't be surprised if she did anything that kind of person who betrays her family does something like that."

The deaf old lady shook her head and said, "Not really. She has realized her mistake now and will not do anything to harm you."

He Yuzhu said in a deep voice: "She may not, but with her pig-like brain, she can betray me completely with just a few words from others."

The deaf old lady's face darkened instantly when she heard this. With He Yushui's carefree personality, it's possible that he could be tricked by old foxes like Yi Zhonghai."

"Zhu...Zhu Zi, I may have done something stupid. I have already told Yu Shui that you came to propose marriage today."
