Siheyuan: Me! He Yuzhu defies fate and changes destiny

"Okay, we'll go now. My father just moved out of the house, and we haven't had time to clean it yet. Please bear with me." Director Wang understood the current situation and said indifferently:

"It doesn't matter. This is how things are in most situations now. Whoever rents the house in the future will be the one to tidy it up.

By the way, how do you plan to rent out this house?" He Yuzhu replied:

"The main house is five dollars a month, and the side house is two dollars a month. This price is already very low. And this rent standard will be maintained for twenty years, and you must move out after the expiration!"

After listening to He Yuzhu's words, Director Wang agreed:

"Okay, let's do it!"

He Yuzhu said happily:

"Thank you so much, Director Wang!"

Director Wang smiled and waved his hand in response:

"You're welcome. These are what we should do, and I will also write them down in the document.

In case of any unexpected situation!"

"That's great, let's go back and see my house!"

After that, He Yuzhu and Director Wang returned to the courtyard together. Seeing that He Yuzhu did not go home after shopping but accompanied Director Wang to visit, Yan Bugui could not help but ask curiously:

"Director Wang, what's going on?"

Director Wang replied:

"It's okay, I just came to check the situation. Zhuzi plans to rent out the house, so I came to apply."

After hearing Director Wang's explanation, Yan Bugui seemed quite shocked and then asked:

"Zhu Zi doesn't live here anymore, but plans to rent it out?"

He Yuzhu nodded and confirmed his guess:

"We do plan to rent it out, but the specific tenant is still unknown. The purpose of coming to the office today is to submit the house to the neighborhood committee and arrange for the selection of tenants. Director Wang has been given the task."

Afterwards, Yan Bugui did not express his intention directly, but asked:

"And what about the rent?"

Director Wang gave a detailed reply:

"The main house is five yuan a month, and the side house is two yuan. The price is reasonable and in line with the market. After all, He Yuzhu's houses are all good houses with good structures and excellent lighting. This price is not high. Even though the side house is smaller in area, it also has good lighting. The total monthly rent is seven yuan!"

Yan Bugui calculated and sighed:

"That's eighty-four dollars a year. It's really a lot of money!"

Then he asked:

"Are you considering selling this house?"

You know, many people now rent houses, but Yan Bugui bought his own house. Even the house his son Yan Jiecheng lives in now was purchased long ago.

In He Yuzhu's opinion, renting a house is saving money for others, while buying a house is truly your own. So Yan Bugui was very interested in He Yuzhu's house.

Sell ​​the house now? Absolutely impossible! He Yuzhu shook his head and said, "No, I won't sell it. Even if I rent it, I have to rent it for 20 years. After 20 years, I have to move out no matter what. I plan to leave this house to my sister!"

Hearing this, Yan Bugui was stunned. If he rented the house for 20 years, he could buy a new one twice. The main house was more expensive, and selling it for 500 yuan was the market price; the side house, which was in better condition, would cost 300 yuan. If he needed money urgently, he could get it for 600 yuan in total.

But 800 is not too high, after all, it is the market price. But if you pay 80 yuan in rent every year, it will be enough to buy this house in ten years. Therefore, when Yan Bugui heard that He Yuzhu was unwilling to sell, he gave up the idea of ​​renting a house.

Then, He Yuzhu said to Director Wang, "Auntie Wang, I'm sorry, this uncle is just like this. Please come with me to see the house!" Director Wang nodded, and went to visit the house with He Yuzhu.

After reading it, Director Wang said, "Very good, shall we book this place?" He Yuzhu said, "Sure, I will prepare the contract when I get home, and each copy will have my signature and fingerprint. When the time comes, whoever wants to rent the room will just fill in the signature, fingerprint, and write the date.

Is this okay, Auntie Wang? "Director Wang said, "Of course. You are so busy, how can you have time to watch over it? Just let us do it!" In response, He Yuzhu said gratefully, "Thank you for your hard work, Auntie Wang!"

At this moment, Jia Zhang suddenly ran out, and after seeing He Yuzhu, she shouted: "He Yuzhu, you must find a job for my daughter Qin Huairu!"

Seeing the angry Jia Zhang, everyone present was stunned. No one thought she could be so tough. However, He Yuzhu responded quickly:

"Wait, Jia Zhang, what job can I introduce to her? I'm not your family!"

Jia Zhang retorted with great vigor, "Look at him, he went to college and became an engineer, and the leaders of the steel mill admire him very much.

But what about my family? Only Dongxu works outside the city and has a city hukou. The others have rural hukou and cannot buy food from the city.

If we don't find her a job, we'll probably all starve to death. Is it wrong to ask him to help find a job?"

Hearing what Jia Zhang said, He Yuzhu's three views were shocked. How could he accept such unreasonable behavior? He said: "Jia Zhang, did I hear you right? You want me to find a job for your family? I am not your father, and I don't owe you anything. Besides, I don't belong to the steel rolling mill. The leaders appreciate me because of my technical expertise. As for whether your family has a city household registration, what does it have to do with me? Why do you blame me for the life and death issue? There are so many hungry people in the world, how can I save so many?

Besides, you are in good health and not old, but you regard yourself as a weak person every day and refuse to do any work.

"People like you deserve to starve to death!" After hearing what He Yuzhu said, Jia Zhang shouted angrily, "How could you even think of letting Qin Huairu work for you!"

Jia Zhang shouted to the crowd, "We live in the same courtyard, so what if you, He Yuzhu, help him? We are all neighbors anyway, why don't you help?"

Jia Zhang's words stunned Director Wang. Seeing that Director Wang didn't say anything, Jia Zhang became even more excited.

"Director Wang, don't you agree? If He Yuzhu has the ability to help us, isn't it just a matter of a word? Just a word can help our family get out of trouble. Why doesn't he help? Director Wang, don't you think this makes sense?"

Qin Huairu originally wanted to come out to smooth things over, but when she saw Director Wang remained silent, she did not step forward. What if Director Wang was successfully persuaded by her mother-in-law?

After hearing what Jia Zhang said, Director Wang finally came to his senses. Jia Zhang actually dragged himself into this. "What are you talking about? Jia Zhang, are you crazy? There are many people who are in a worse situation than your family. They have no house, no job, and even no daughter-in-law. According to your logic, people who are poorer than you should get your help, right?"

How could Jia Zhang be willing to help others? She was already doing her best not to add insult to injury.

"How can this be? Our family is well off because my son is smart and talented. Why should we help others?"

Jia Zhang knew that there were many families in this compound who were in a more difficult situation than theirs. If she agreed to help others, what would happen to her own family? So she refused without hesitation.

"If others are not living well, that's their own business!" Upon hearing this, Director Wang wanted to slap Jia Zhang in the face.

"Then why do you want He Yuzhu to help you? He Yuzhu's status and achievements are achieved through his own efforts. What reason do you have to ask him to help you?"

Jia Zhang didn't expect Director Wang to say this. She thought he would rebuke He Yuzhu for being ruthless, blaming him for not caring about neighborhood unity, and even accusing him of lacking a sense of the overall situation. These were the words that the old man often criticized in the past. But at this point, the plot changed. She didn't know how to respond for a moment. At this time, He Yuzhu said disdainfully:

"Ms. Jia Zhang, you need to have foresight. When my father left here with the rain, how did you evaluate us? How did you treat us? I will never forget what happened at that time, and I don't bother to talk to you anymore.

But you did the right thing at that time. After all, as a neighbor, it is enough to sympathize with him. There is no need to implicate yourself for the affairs of outsiders. In that case, it is better to keep some for yourself. "

Right?

Since my situation is getting better now, your family is not doing well. Maybe it is not right to say that. It should be said that it is worse than ours. Why should we help you just because your family is not doing well?

If we have money or connections to help you, we might as well use it to make our lives better. After all, you are really unlucky, right? Isn't that the truth?"

When Jia Zhang heard this, she was shocked. Wasn't this what she usually whispered at home? How did He Yuzhu say it out loud?

Something is wrong!

This kid actually said what I said in private.

"What a He Yuzhu, not only do you have no sympathy, you don't even follow the most basic moral principles of being a human being... Why are you saying these private words? You know I said these in private! Unless you arrange a job for my family, I will tell everyone about your behavior!"

After hearing what Jia Zhang said, everyone present fell silent. Was Jia Zhang out of her mind? She was being so unreasonable in front of Director Wang.

Director Wang really couldn't tolerate Jia Zhang's unreasonable troubles any longer: "Jia Zhang, if you continue to make trouble like this, go back to the village immediately! If it weren't for the fact that you are a widower and have a son working in a factory, I would have sent you back to the countryside long ago.

This is not the place for you to mess around, don't think you are the master here."

As soon as Director Wang finished speaking, Jia Zhang immediately became timid. She had not yet become an official resident here. If she was really sent back, what would she do in the future? But Jia Zhang still looked at the director with dissatisfaction.

Why did Director Wang not help poor people like her but instead help He Yuzhu? Jia Zhang could never accept this and thought that poverty should be a reason to be proud of, but in fact, "poverty makes people think of change and hard work is a source of pride."

Due to her lack of education, Jia Zhang only remembered the one-sided truth that "being poor is glorious". Therefore, she always complained about being poor, which was the key to why she was disliked by others. However, she could not explain these things clearly, and no one clarified the misunderstanding for her. As a result, Jia Zhang was always hated by everyone.

However, Jia Zhang still has some peasant-like cleverness.

If she wasn't desperate, she wouldn't have used this method to fight for benefits. Mainly because she wanted to live a better life, but this better way was not obtained through hard work, but by finding ways to take advantage of others.

This is exactly the performance of a person who lacks knowledge and sense of right and wrong. In fact, such people are not uncommon in other places. He Yuzhu didn't want to pay any attention to Jia Zhang at all, so he said to Director Wang:

"Director Wang, should we go now? I have other plans after we sign the contract."

Hearing this, Jia Zhang started screaming again.

"No, you haven't helped me solve the housework problem yet!" Jia Zhang said. He Yuzhu responded disdainfully:

"You should go back and clear your mind and get rid of all the mess in your head first!"
