He Yuzhu had lived two lives, so how could he not know that a good woman is afraid of being tortured, so he took the initiative to step forward.

"Hello comrade, why do I feel like we have met somewhere before?"

Yu Li was a little confused for a moment, because in her impression, she seemed to have no impression of He Yuzhu at all. However, since he took the initiative to say that he knew her, wouldn't it be too impolite to say directly that he had no impression of her?

"Really? Then I really have no impression of it."

"Hey, it's okay, it's okay, once you do it, it's easier than twice, right?"

Upon seeing this, Aunt Mei quickly winked at He Yuzhu, who understood and secretly made a three with his hand. Aunt Mei got the promise and started to assist.

"Oh, you two have met before. That makes things easier."

"Let me put it this way. As the saying goes, fate brings fate. It is fate that you two can meet like this. Why don't you two go and talk about it yourselves?"

After Aunt Mei finished speaking, she looked at Yu Li with a suggestive look on her face. Her meaning was very clear: girl, hurry up and seize this opportunity. Yu Li was a very opinionated person.

Although Aunt Mei and her parents had praised Yan Jiecheng to the skies before, she always felt that Yan Jiecheng was not as good as He Yuzhu in front of her. At least he was financially independent.

Unlike Yan Jiecheng, who has just started working, and I heard that he has younger brothers and sisters at home, and the whole family is crowded in one house. These conditions are far inferior to the pillar in front of him.

Blind dates are meant to find a home, so why would Yu Li refuse if there were better conditions? So she nodded shyly.

"Let's do it!"

Aunt Mei clapped her hands immediately after seeing this. "Okay, okay, this is fate and no one can stop it. Then you two can chat on your own. I have something to do, so I'll go home first."

"Okay, Aunt Mei, don't worry, I will definitely send you home in a while."

Aunt Mei gave He Yuzhu a sly look, turned around and quickly disappeared in front of the two of them. As soon as Aunt Mei left, He Yuzhu hurriedly greeted Yu Li.

"Girl, how about we go for a walk?"

Yu Li blushed because this was her first time getting along with a strange man. After listening to He Yuzhu's suggestion, Yu Li nodded subconsciously.

He Yuzhu simply walked to Yu Li's side, and the two of them walked out of Nanluoguxiang side by side. It was not that He Yuzhu did not want to go home and talk, but he wanted the group in the yard to get the news in advance.

I guess even without anyone else, Qin Huairu would have to do something behind the scenes to ruin his marriage.

"Yu Li, have you had breakfast this morning?"

Yu Li shook her head and then nodded. "I've eaten."

How could He Yuzhu not notice that Yu Li didn't have breakfast at all? However, this was a normal phenomenon in this era. Ordinary people didn't have so many requirements. They usually didn't eat in the morning and would eat at noon.

So without saying a word, he went straight to the shop next door and bought two meat patties. In fact, they were called meat patties, but in fact they were just pancakes made with a little animal oil. But even this kind of thing was a top-notch delicacy in that era.

"Come, eat a meat pie first, or you'll be exhausted in a little while."

Yu Li looked at the greasy meat pie and swallowed subconsciously, although the three-year natural disaster had ended a long time ago.

But their family hadn't eaten meat for a long time, and even if there was something delicious, it had to be eaten by her sister and brother. The first thing that came was a fried pancake, which was like a critical hit to Yu Li.

But Yu Li knew from a young age that she couldn't just ask for other people's things, so she waved her hand and refused: "Brother Zhuzi, you should eat it yourself. I'm not hungry now."

Gulu gulu~

Yu Li's face turned red, and He Yuzhu quickly said, "Look at my unruly stomach. It protests when it sees delicious food. I'm really embarrassing you!"

"No, it's okay."

He Yuzhu stuffed the oil cake into Yu Li's hand. "Come on, let's have one each, and then we can go out for a walk after we finish eating, how about that?"

Yu Li couldn't help laughing while holding the fried pancake in her hand, because she really didn't realize that He Yuzhu was so good at coaxing people.

When He Yuzhu heard Yu Li's change of addressing him, he knew that the matter was almost settled, so he quickly set an example and took a big bite of the oil cake in front of Yu Li.

"Girl, eat it quickly. It won't taste good if it gets cold."

"Oh, good."

Yu Li took a bite and started eating. The two chatted casually and finished the fried cake in no time.

"Brother Zhuzi, I just heard Aunt Mei say that there are only you and your sister in your family, so where are your parents?"

He Yuzhu heard this and said truthfully: "My mother fell ill and passed away after giving birth to my sister. As for my father, he went to defend the city with a widow."

"Sorry, I didn't mean to."

"It's okay. It's not something that can't be discussed. I think it will be better for everyone if I ask everything clearly."

So Yu Li asked a lot of questions, and He Yuzhu answered all of them truthfully. Yu Li felt very distressed about He Yuzhu's experience.

It turns out that the man in front of him is so responsible. As soon as he became an adult, his father left him and his sister. As an older brother, he took care of his sister alone and achieved today's results through his own efforts.

"Brother Zhuzi, you are so amazing."

"What's the big deal? I had no choice but to do it when I was forced to do it! But now everything is fine."

Yu Li then asked: "Why didn't you find a partner before?"

He Yuzhu sighed heavily upon hearing this. "It's a long story. First, I'm afraid my sister will be bullied, and second, some of our neighbors don't want me to get married."

"Why do your neighbors not want you to get married?"

So He Yuzhu found a place and sat down with Yu Li, then he told her everything that had happened over the years. However, he did not slander Qin Huairu and Yi Zhonghai, he just told her what he knew.

In He Yuzhu's opinion, for a smart person like Yu Li, slander would only backfire. After listening to He Yuzhu's narration, Yu Li snorted coldly with some indignation.

"How can these people be so bad? But you are such a good person."

He Yuzhu said quickly: "Good people should stop at the right time. I can't even live my life because of them, right?"

"Yes, you have to resist. Why should a bunch of neighbors interfere with your life?"

"And you really have to be careful with that widow in your yard. Let me tell you, there is a widow in the yard across from us. In order to get a teacher to marry her, she went straight into someone else's bed at night."

He Yuzhu was speechless for a while. It seemed that there were legendary figures in every courtyard now, but those in their courtyard were more shameless.

"Don't worry, I have my sister at home. Besides, I lock the door every day!"

Yu Li chuckled. She now felt that He Yuzhu was an interesting person, but she also felt sorry for the hardship he had to endure in raising his sister alone.

But He Yuzhu suggested at this time: "Lily, is it okay for me to call you that?"

Yu Li nodded generously and said, "Of course, no problem. Then I will still call you Brother Zhuzi."

"Okay, then how about we go to the movies? There's a new movie that was released recently."

Yu Li shook her head a little stiffly. "Why don't we just take a walk around the area? Going to the cinema is a waste of money!"

He Yuzhu was not stupid enough to follow Yu Li's advice. "Hey, I just haven't been there before, and I thought since you're here today, let's go and try it out."

Yu Li was also moved when she heard this, because she had never seen the movie either. He Yuzhu simply stood up.

"Come on, just accompany me to broaden my horizons."

"Well, that cost you money."

So the two of them took the bus and went directly to the cinema near Qianmen. He Yuzhu generously bought soda and melon seeds. After all, how can you watch a movie without snacks?

It happened that there were not many people in the cinema on a weekday, so the two of them found a good seat near the front and sat down.

"Come, Lili, eat some melon seeds." He Yuzhu said as he handed the melon seeds to Yu Li.

But the cinema was dark, and Yu Li didn't notice and directly grabbed He Yuzhu's hand. Of course, He Yuzhu didn't react at all, but Yu Li was different.

Even in the dark, He Yuzhu could feel Yu Li's embarrassment, but this feeling made He Yuzhu feel pretty good. So this is what it feels like to be in love!
