Siheyuan: Revenge of the Stupid Pillar

The deaf old lady said excitedly: "Hello young owner, you are rich and have a career, why didn't you bring her back for me to see?"

He Yuzhu said perfunctorily: "There are a lot of people in the hospital who don't want me to get married. I plan to take her back to the hospital after I have the wedding banquet."

The deaf old lady nodded her head rapidly, "Yes...Yes, you can't let Qin Huairu and the others know that you are getting married in advance, otherwise they will come to sabotage you."

"By the way, when are you going to hold the banquet?"

"This Sunday!"

"Where?"

"In my master's Hongbin Building."

"Zhu Zi, you are right. If we hold it in the hospital, bad guys like Xu Damao will definitely come to interfere."

"Old lady, you eat first. I still have to go to the street office. I want to renovate the house and build a toilet and a kang."

The deaf old lady's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she said shamelessly, "Zhu Zi, can you ask the master to build a kang for my house? I feel cold when I sleep at night."

He Yuzhu's face instantly turned cold when he heard this, and he said in a stiff tone:

"Old lady, my wedding is going to cost a lot of money, so I don't have any extra money to build a kang for you."

The deaf old lady was very experienced and could tell the dissatisfaction in He Yuzhu's tone. Her heart skipped a beat and she forced a smile on her face.

"Zhu Zi, I know your wedding will cost a lot, I will pay for the repair of my kang myself."

He Yuzhu nodded slightly: "Okay, I'll ask the decorator to build a kang for your house."

"Old lady, please eat first. I will go find Director Fang now."

After He Yuzhu finished speaking, he left without looking back.

When the deaf old lady saw He Yuzhu leaving, her face instantly turned dark.

"This damn idiot has grown stronger and stronger, and he is becoming more and more disrespectful to me, an old lady. Now he even dares to give me the cold shoulder."

"Strange, this silly Zhu used to respect me, why did he suddenly change his attitude? Could it be that he was influenced by his wife?"

"No, it seems that the last time I asked him to take me to see Yang Xinmin, his attitude towards me was not as respectful as before. It seems that after the fact that I pretended to be a martyr's relative was exposed, Sha Zhu also had a problem with me."

"It's all the fault of that damn Yi Zhonghai. He instigated me to pretend to be a martyr's relative. Now not only do the whole hospital hate me, but even Sha Zhu has a grudge against me."

"It's a pity that I have no children and have offended everyone in the hospital. Now the only person I can rely on is Sha Zhu. If Sha Zhu doesn't care about me, I will probably starve to death."

Thinking of this, the deaf old lady couldn't help but shudder, her eyes full of fear.

"No, I must find a way to restore my image and hold on to Shazhu firmly."

"But Sha Zhu has become smarter now. He is not as easy to deceive as before. It seems that I can only start with Sha Zhu's new wife. As long as I have a good relationship with his wife, Sha Zhu will not ignore me."

……

Sub-district office, director’s office.

Fang Changgui greeted him warmly, "Zhu Zi, what brings you here today?"

He Yuzhu grinned and said, "Director, I don't come to you for no reason. I have something to ask of you!"

Fang Changgui said generously: "What's the use of asking for something? Just tell me what you want, and I will do whatever I can."

He Yuzhu smiled and said, "Director, I'll be frank. I'm getting married, right? I want to renovate my house, build a toilet, and build a kang. This way, my wife can sleep more comfortably. Is that okay?"

Fang Changgui patted He Yuzhu's shoulder with a little excitement, "Zhuzi, you are finally getting married, congratulations!"

"You don't know, you haven't gotten married yet at the age of 25, and this has become a long-standing problem in our neighborhood. I was worried about you. Now, I don't have to worry about your marriage problem anymore!"

"As for your renovation of the house, I agree. I will report it to you now. It just so happens that the sewer was dug to your area this year. Otherwise, your toilet would not have been repaired."

He Yuzhu said with a smile: "That's great, people are in high spirits when good things happen, and luck can't be stopped when it comes."

"Director, I have one more thing to trouble you with. I would like you to help contact a team of workers who are renovating the house."

Fang Changgui said kindly, "No problem, I'll take you to find it now!"

"Director, I'm holding a wedding at Hongbin Building at 12 noon on Sunday and I'd like to invite you to attend!"

"No problem, I will be there on time."

Fang Changgui found a bricklayer for He Yuzhu. After He Yuzhu thanked him, he immediately took the worker to the courtyard.

The worker looked at He Yuzhu's house, then negotiated a price with He Yuzhu, promised to start work tomorrow morning and finish it tomorrow night, and then left.

He Yuzhu still had to invite relatives and friends to attend his wedding. After the workers left, he also prepared to lock the door and leave the courtyard.

As soon as He Yuzhu locked the door, Sun Jinfeng came up to him and asked curiously:

"Zhu Zi, who was that person just now?"

He Yuzhu said casually: "The bricklayer I hired is going to build a kang at home."

"Zhu Zi, why do we need to build a kang?"

"Aunt Sun, your question is a bit redundant. The kang must be built to keep out the cold at night!"

"Then why didn't you build it in previous years?"

"I didn't have money in previous years!"

Sun Jinfeng teased, "Zhu Zi, it's not that you didn't have money in previous years, but your money was cheated away by the widow Qin."

"Aunt Sun, you really don't know how to behave. Don't you know that some things are best seen without being spoken?"

After He Yuzhu finished speaking, he turned and left with a sullen look on his face.

Sun Jinfeng pursed her lips and said, "Why should I not speak out when everyone knows it?"

As soon as He Yuzhu left, a group of old women surrounded Sun Jinfeng.

"Jinfeng, why did you provoke Zhuzi? He doesn't look well from the look on his face."

"I didn't provoke him. He was just too stingy and too concerned about his reputation."

"Tell me carefully!"

Sun Jinfeng was a person who could not keep secrets, so she immediately recounted what had just happened, adding some exaggeration to the story.

"Sun Jinfeng, what you said is indeed wrong. Aren't you just rubbing salt into someone's wound?"

"That's right. As the saying goes, don't hit someone in the face, and don't expose someone's shortcomings when scolding them."

Sun Jinfeng was slightly angry when she heard this, and changed the subject: "My words were indeed a little inappropriate, but aren't you curious why the pillars are built with fire beds?"

"Didn't Zhuzi say that? He built the kang to keep out the cold. This damn weather is freezing. Not only does Zhuzi want to build a kang, I want to build one too."

"I also want to build a kang. I feel cold even with two quilts at night. After the pillars are built, I will ask about the price. If it is not too expensive, I will also build a kang."

"Your man has a high salary, so it's easy for him to build a kang."

"Your man's salary is not low either. We can find a master together and bargain for the price."
