Soul of the Siheyuan: Zhuzi, I can still give birth

Time flies and a month has passed.

It was also August, the hottest month of the year, and more than two months had passed since the storm broke out.

Life, work, and study everywhere came to a complete standstill.

Soldiers in green uniforms were wandering the streets.

He Yuzhu could only ignore this. Besides, even if he was reborn, he knew the trend.

But in the face of such a big event, he is just an insignificant ant.

This tsunami is too huge and it is not something that a mere reborn person like him can handle.

He Yuzhu cannot change others. The only thing he can change is himself and his family. All he wants is to make his family live a good life.

On weekends, He Yuzhu went to the leader's home and cooked a meal for him as agreed.

This had been agreed upon before. He Yuzhu would take one day every month to visit his leader's home to play chess and chat with him.

Make the meal he has been craving for, and this is how he has been living all these years.

But today, when He Yuzhu arrived at the compound where the leader was.

But I found that the situation was different from usual.

There are many more strangers in the compound.

Secretary Chen was stopping the strangers and preventing them from entering the leader's house.

He Yuzhu walked over, but did not enter the leader's yard. He just looked at the strangers in the leader's house from outside the fence.

It was not until Secretary Chen saw He Yuzhu outside the yard that he hurried over and said to He Yuzhu.

"Master He, you'd better not come here again during this period of time, so as not to cause you unnecessary trouble!"

He Yuzhu immediately recalled that in his previous life, even he himself almost couldn't save himself.

Finally, he had to go to the south for recuperation.

"Well, lead them...?"

He Yuzhu wanted to ask how the leader and his wife were doing now. Although he knew that they were most likely not in danger, that was in his previous life.

Who can tell clearly in this life?

"It's safe for now. Someone has relevant information and is investigating the leader now."

Secretary Chen also showed worry on his face as he spoke.

"Someone handed over the information. Do you know who handed it over?"

He Yuzhu asked.

Anyone who can submit the information must be very familiar with the leader. There are so many people around the leader, it is hard to say who would do such a thing.

"I heard that it was all about the leaders' daily lives, who they met, what they said, and what they did. Everything was reported!"

Secretary Chen also said with a puzzled look on his face. He didn't know who could know such a private matter so clearly.

The only people who can clearly know the leader’s private life are those who have a lot of contact with the leader.

As the leader's nephew, I would definitely not betray him. After all, I was also looking for the traitor.

The leader’s wife would never do such a thing. The two of them have been in love for half their lives and have never had a quarrel.

The leader’s children are not around either, so who could this person be?

He Yuzhu suddenly thought of someone, so he hurriedly spoke to Secretary Chen.

"There is another person who knows the leader's private life very well."

Secretary Chen was also curious when he heard He Yuzhu's words, but when he saw He Yuzhu staring at the back door, he immediately understood.

"Are you talking about Zhao who cooks...?"

"Yes, it's Master Zhao. I've seen him hiding in the corner writing and drawing in those little notebooks more than once."

He Yuzhu nodded and told what he had discovered before about Master Zhao.

Secretary Chen frowned and whispered to He Yuzhu.

"Master He, don't talk nonsense at this time. If we can't catch him, it will be disadvantageous to us!"

"There are so many people watching us now. If we are not careful, we will be doomed."

Under normal circumstances, Secretary Chen wouldn't have to worry about these things. He was just a cook and it wasn't a big deal.

but now.

Current affairs are very different. Someone is planning to do just that. Now if this lowly Master Zhao is wronged.

You will be labeled with a big hat.

"Is Master Zhao in the kitchen now?"

He Yuzhu looked at the back door and said to Secretary Chen.

Secretary Chen nodded, confirming that Master Zhao was now in the kitchen.

"Well, let's sneak in through the back door and pretend to search him. I think since we suddenly appear, he won't have time to hide his little notebook."

He Yuzhu said with a solemn vow.

"Even if nothing is found, I will say it was my personal behavior and will not implicate the leaders."

He Yuzhu said this seriously, which touched Secretary Chen quite a bit.

Just as he was about to say something, He Yuzhu slapped him on the back.

"Hurry up and leave, stop nagging!"

After saying that, he took Secretary Chen and walked towards the back door.

The kitchen is just behind the back door. If you sneak in, you can see everything going on in the kitchen clearly.

No matter what Master Zhao is doing, he can see it all at a glance.

The two of them tiptoed to the back door.

Fortunately.

The back door was ajar. You could just push it open gently and slip in.

The two of them tiptoed into the back door and saw Master Zhao hiding in the corner with his head buried, not knowing what he was doing.

He Yuzhu took off his shoes, walked over barefoot, and quietly walked over.

Secretary Chen saw this and followed suit, taking off his shoes and following He Yuzhu.

Master Zhao was holding a small notebook and a pencil, writing something.

Maybe because he was too engrossed, he didn't notice that there were two people standing behind him, staring at what he was writing.

Master Zhao doesn’t seem to have a high level of education. His handwriting is crooked and contains a lot of OOXX, and no one knows what it stands for.

However, the general content can still be seen.

It records in great detail who the leader met every day, what they looked like, and what they said.

Secretary Chen was furious when he saw this and snatched the notebook from Master Zhao's hand.

Master Zhao, who was concentrating on writing, was shocked.

As soon as he turned around, he saw Secretary Chen with an angry face and He Yuzhu with a smirk on his face, looking at him.

"Secretary Chen... Secretary Chen, why... why are you... here?!"

Master Zhao was so shocked and frightened that he stuttered when speaking.

Beads of sweat slid down his cheeks and dripped onto the ground.

"Master Zhao, the leader and his wife have been very kind to you, and yet you actually reported them."

"When your wife was sick, it was your boss who gave her money and medicine to save her life. You...you actually repay your boss's kindness like this?!"

"Even a dog knows to wag its tail, but you actually did something like this. You are worse than a pig or a dog."

Secretary Chen pointed at Master Zhao angrily and scolded him.

Master Zhao blushed as he listened to Secretary Chen scolding him. The shame on his face disappeared in a flash under Secretary Chen's scolding.

"Secretary Chen, the leader has indeed been kind to me, but I have also been conscientious in taking care of the leader and his wife's food over the years."

Master Zhao opened his mouth to refute.

"Those who stay up all night come here before daybreak, and those who stay up late at night are still unable to go home."

"I have never complained. For so many years, my salary has always been more than 20 yuan. This amount of money is not enough to support my family."

When Master Zhao reached this point, he pointed directly at He Yuzhu.

"He...he is here. Every time the leader asks for money and tickets, is this fair? Is this fair?"

Master Zhao almost shouted out what was in his heart.

He was very dissatisfied with He Yuzhu.

Isn’t it just cooking? What’s so great about that? I can make twice-cooked pork and I can cook any dish, whether sweet or salty.

Why is it that every time He Yuzhu comes, the leader and his wife are treated like VIPs?

Every time after cooking, the leader and his wife would ask him to go to the dining room to drink and eat together.

I could only stay in the kitchen and eat alone.

I also want to go to the dining room and have dinner with my leader.

I also want to get various tickets from the leader.

Master Zhao blurted out all his unhappiness.

"Is this... the reason why you betrayed your leader and reported him?"

He Yuzhu was a little amused and helpless, as he was also an innocent victim.

I didn't expect Master Zhao to be such a petty person.

I couldn't help but ask.

Master Zhao might have been feeling aggrieved for too long, so he dared to say anything.

"Someone told me that if I could get evidence against the leader, I would get three hundred yuan!"

Master Zhao held up three fingers, his face already looking a little grim.

"Three hundred yuan, that's three hundred yuan, enough for me to buy a small courtyard. I need to earn this much money in a whole year here, a whole year!"

The leader and his wife also walked into the kitchen at this time and just heard Master Zhao offer three hundred yuan.

They were all outside just now. Because of those people in the yard, the leader has been exhausted during this period of time.

I'm not in a good mood either.

Just now when I was resting outside, I heard a loud noise coming from the kitchen.

I can't even take a quiet rest, and the leader simply doesn't want to rest either.

He called his wife to the kitchen to see what was going on.

"Master Zhao... I never thought that after all these... many years between you and me, it's only worth three... hundred dollars!?"

The leader said with a trembling voice.

He thought he was pretty nice to Master Zhao.

Although his salary was not high, he was allowed to take some unused meat, vegetables and other things back home when he returned home every day.

These are all good things. The things that Master Zhao brings back every month are worth at least twenty or thirty yuan.

I didn't expect this person to be so greedy.

For a mere three hundred dollars, he sold himself out.

"Leader, I...I..."

Master Zhao, who was originally very emotional, immediately lost his temper when he saw the leader and his wife had also arrived.

The leader didn't blame him, but just sighed and said to him.

"Okay, you...go away, I don't want to see you again..."

The leader ordered us to leave, and Master Zhao felt embarrassed and didn't dare to stay here any longer.

After saying sorry to the leader and his wife, Master Zhao fled out the back door in embarrassment.

Secretary Chen walked up to the leader.

"Uncle, you let him go so easily, what if he reports you again...!"

Before Secretary Chen could finish his words, the leader waved his hand to stop him from continuing.

"Forget it, you can't stop what's coming, and you can't keep what's leaving, just let it go!"

The leaders also realized that this tsunami was so fierce that it could not be quelled easily.

Many people will die in this storm without a burial place.

The leader then looked at He Yuzhu again.

"Zhu Zi, you are here, come with me."

After saying that, he turned and walked out of the kitchen.

He Yuzhu could probably guess why the leader wanted to see him.

Regarding this big storm, He Yuzhu had previously intentionally or unintentionally reminded his leader to be careful.

Unexpectedly, in the end, I was stabbed in the back by the person I trusted for many years.

The leader took He Yuzhu to the small reception room and closed the door.

"Zhu Zi, please sit down. I have something to ask you."

The leader pointed to the sofa opposite him and asked He Yuzhu to sit down.

He Yuzhu nodded, sat down obediently, and waited for the leader's questions.

"Tell me, how do you know all this?"

The leader went straight to the point and stared at He Yuzhu with sharp eyes.

At this moment, He Yuzhu had already rehearsed this scenario countless times in his mind.

So he is not panicking at all now.

"It's very simple, just a lesson from the past!"

He Yuzhu said it lightly.

But the leader was aroused by him.

"Let's talk about the lessons learned from the past."

If the leader is curious, then dispel his curiosity.

"This storm is just an extension of the game. The Russian bear had a storm like this before, and it is almost exactly the same as the storm we are facing now."

The leader nodded in agreement with He Yuzhu's words.

He Yuzhu recounted the internal purge of the Soviet Union and combined it with what was happening here now.

The leader was not unaware of this, but when these words came out of He Yuzhu's mouth, they did surprise the leader.

He knew that He Yuzhu was no ordinary person, but the fact that he could see so far and so accurately was beyond his expectations.

"Then, Zhu, how long do you think this storm will last? When will it end?"

The leader asked, he was eager to know how long this tsunami would last.

Because he knew how much harm and loss this would cause to the country and the people.

He Yuzhu was in a dilemma.

Should we tell the leaders that this tsunami will last for a long time?

Does he dare to say it? No, he doesn’t.

"This tsunami is not going to stop, at least not in the short term!"

He Yuzhu spoke with great confidence, but the leader's eyes had lost their luster.

The leader stood up, walked to the window, looked out, and didn't speak for a long time. He just stood there quietly, watching, and staying still.

After a long time, the leader said to He Yuzhu.

"Zhu Zi, you don't need to come to my place anymore. There are some things you don't need to get involved in. Be careful. Maybe if something happens in the future, I won't be able to help you."

After the leader finished speaking, he walked to the cabinet, opened the drawer, and took out a few tickets.

"You take these tickets. There's no point in me keeping them. If there's a chance... let's meet again!"

The leader was a little choked up as he spoke. He stuffed the ticket into He Yuzhu's hand and was about to leave.

He Yuzhu stopped the leader.

"Boss, wait a minute, these are the medicinal soups I researched that can regulate the body. You and your wife should drink a sip every day. It will be good for your health!"

He Yuzhu pretended to put his hand into his canvas bag, took out a gourd filled with water and handed it to the leader.

The spiritual spring water here is the purest, which is beneficial to the leaders' health and has no harm at all.

In the original book, the leader also fell ill because of this incident. Although the illness was not fatal, his health was much worse than before.

The leader took the gourd handed over by He Yuzhu, said thank you, and left.

He Yuzhu also left the compound through the back door. After this farewell, they would just be strangers when they met again.
