He Yushui sat on the bed, staring straight ahead, feeling a deep sense of helplessness and fatigue in her heart.

Qin Huairu thought she had brainwashed He Yushui and was feeling very proud of herself.

He became more and more excited as he spoke, constantly instilling ideas into him.

He Yushui was already immersed in his own thoughts.

She sighed silently, feeling her heart grow heavier.

This emotion is not rooted in jealousy or competition.

It was because her brother always stood on the side of Qin Huairu and the Jia family and often neglected herself.

Qin Huairu can always control her silly brother just right.

Yi Zhonghai always jumps out at the right time, seemingly saying good things to him, but actually doubting him.

She had advised her brother more than once, but not only did he not listen, he also scolded her.

In order to live a good life in this family, she began to please everyone.

Although he had long known the ugliest sides of the Yi and Jia families, he still pretended to be very convinced by them.

Unconsciously, I actually felt that it was right for Silly Brother to blindly help the Jia family.

During this process, he treated his brother as the fool without reservation.

Gradually, she realized that she had really gone too far.

Now that Silly Brother has become sober, she is still obsessed with her original thoughts.

When she looked at Qin Huairu who was still talking nonstop for her silly brother, she turned to blame herself.

She suddenly became sober and realized that Qin Huairu had indeed had a difficult life before.

But now it seems so ridiculous.

At this moment, her eyes were firm as she looked at Qin Huairu who was still chattering.

"Sister Qin, I understand what you said. It's getting late. If you have nothing else, you can go back first."

Qin Huairu was stunned at first by He Yushui's sudden expulsion, and then nodded in confusion.

She didn't know whether she had convinced He Yushui or she was just getting tired of listening?

But there are still many things I haven't said.

Although she felt a little unwilling, she soon figured it out.

He Yushui is now like a seemingly docile kitten, and it’s fine if you just do what she wants.

If you stroke her fur in the opposite direction, it might backfire.

So Qin Huairu tactfully comforted her and then left He Yushui's room.

When Qin Huairu walked out of the side room, she suddenly felt extremely heavy.

Only then did she realize that her plan to communicate with He Yushui and gain her support had failed.

Qin Huairu thought to herself: "It seems that I have to reconsider how to deal with my relationship with Sha Zhu..."

She originally hoped to use He Yushui's power to repair the rift between her and Sha Zhu.

But now it seems that this road is not easy to travel.

For Qin Huairu, Sha Zhu has always been an important support in her life.

He not only gave her financial support, but also made her feel the warmth of family.

Now, having lost Sha Zhu's help, they began to feel that life at home was becoming increasingly difficult.

In addition, Qin Huairu gradually came to believe that Sha Zhu had a special kind of blessing.

Although he looks honest and simple, he can always turn danger into safety and lead a smooth life.

As long as she is with Sha Zhu, she believes she still has a chance to live a happy life.

A night passed and the sky gradually brightened.

He Yushui lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.

Her thoughts kept wandering, recalling bits and pieces of the past.

She realized that it might take more effort and time to change the current situation.

At the same time, she also understood that she could no longer rely on others, but had to learn to face the challenges of life independently.

The next morning, the sunlight shone through the window onto the bed. He Yushui slowly opened her eyes, and a determined light flashed in her eyes.

She knew that a new day was about to begin and she had to bravely face all the difficulties that lay ahead.

Time quietly came to the first day of the first lunar month of 1966, and the new year began.

The courtyard was very lively early in the morning.

The old city attaches great importance to the traditional customs of the Spring Festival.

As in previous years, every household is busy with traditional activities such as offering sacrifices and welcoming gods.

However, the He family was somewhat unusual.

He Yuzhu seemed to be having a seizure. He had discussed this with He Daqing last night.

This year, I will resolutely not allow these activities to be held at home.

This action made He Daqing and He Yushui feel very confused and puzzled.

On this special day, He Yuzhu was not busy preparing sacrificial items at home like others.

Instead, he silently went to his mother's grave with the yellow paper, incense, candles and some offerings that he had prepared in advance.

He worshipped quietly, his heart filled with longing and respect for his mother.

After the worship, He Yuzhu walked back home with a heavy heart.

He knew that what was coming would eventually come.

At this time, He Daqing couldn't help but ask:

"Silly Zhu, why don't you allow any sacrificial activities at home today?

Did something happen?"

He Yuzhu pondered for a moment and decided to reveal part of the truth to his father.

He knew that his father had been through a lot and could understand the deeper meaning behind it.

So, he said slowly: “Dad, actually I got some news from a big leader.

There will soon be signs of how the situation is changing this year.

From what I understand, the situation will become increasingly tense starting from the second half of the year.”

After hearing this, He Daqing's face turned serious.

He understood what his son meant, but he did not pursue the question further.

The father and son were silent, each thinking about their future direction.

He Daqing didn't hear it very clearly.

But I know my son must know something, so he did this.

He found that he could no longer understand his son.

That being the case.

It would be better to listen to Sha Zhu's advice and stop thinking about so many trivial things.

Anyway, I'm at this age now, and I'm going to find a job after the New Year.

The most urgent matter is the marriage of his silly son.

If I could find him a partner, I would just stay at home and take care of his children.

Baocheng sold his job and house and now has some money on hand.

You don’t have to worry about the money for your retirement.

On the other side, He Yushui was also absent-minded, following He Daqing and He Yuzhu silently.

The three returned to the courtyard.

Many people were talking about the He family's abnormal behavior this year.

Some people noticed that the He family did not hold sacrificial ceremonies at home.

Even traditional activities like burning incense in temples were not participated in.

This unusual situation aroused the curiosity of the neighbors and made them speculate more.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, people pray for a good start for the family throughout the year. This is a ritual engraved in the hearts of Chinese people.

However, when people ask curiously.

He Yuzhu seemed not to care. He just smiled and greeted the neighbors, then went straight back to the main house in Zhongyuan.

He Yushui went back to the side room with a cold face.

He Daqing was kept by Yan Bugui and started chatting.
