Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

Yi Zhonghai had considered this issue, but if Qin Huairu refused to pay, there was nothing he could do.

We can't expect him to pay for things like this for the Jia family.

He was reluctant to leave.

Qin Huairu was also reluctant to part with it.

In Qin Huairu's view, if the Yan family isn't contributing, why should she pay for it?

Besides, she and Yi Zhonghai are husband and wife, so if Yi Zhonghai pays the money, it means she paid the money.

Yan Bugui certainly had a reason not to pay the money.

When Yan Jiefang and Yan Jiekuang got married, no one in the courtyard gave them a wedding gift.

Neither Liu Haizhong nor Yi Zhonghai gave a gift.

Correspondingly, he shouldn't give gifts to the Liu family either; that would be fair.

Of course, there was something he felt was unfair. That was that He Yuzhu gave Liu Guangfu a gift.

In his view, since He Yuzhu gave a gift to Liu Guangfu, he should also give a gift to Yan Jiekuang, and even make up for the two gifts given to Yan Jiecheng and Yan Jiefang.

As the third uncle, he could generously refrain from asking He Yuzhu for interest.

"Zhu Zi, I heard you gave twenty yuan as a wedding gift when Guangfu got married?"

He Yuzhu said, "No need to hear about it. I just gave a twenty-yuan gift."

What's wrong? "

Yan Bugui said, "What you're doing is a bit unfair. You didn't contribute a single penny to my child's wedding."

He Yuzhu said, "Why should I pay for your child's wedding?"

"Then why are you paying for Old Liu's kids? Don't try to hide it from me."

When Liu Guangqi got married, you gave him a gift of twenty yuan, which I personally recorded.

When Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu got married, you gave them a gift of twenty yuan.

We all live in the same compound, so why are you showing favoritism?

He Yuzhu chuckled: "You still have the nerve to say that. When I got married, Liu Haizhong gave me a twenty-yuan gift."

Why don't you say so?

He gave me a gift, and now I'm giving him one back. That's called reciprocity.

What about you?

You helped Yi Zhonghai swindle my family's cellar.

As a reciprocal gesture, you should compensate me with a house.

Yan Bugui had anticipated that He Yuzhu would be unhappy, but he forgot about Liu Haizhong's gift-giving obligation.

Indeed, the Liu family and He Yuzhu had a bad relationship, and so many years had passed, who would still remember that Liu Haizhong gave He Yuzhu a gift?

Furthermore, Liu Haizhong did not give a gift when He Yushui and her sister got married.

He Yuzhu stopped responding to him.

His gifts to Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu were not entirely out of courtesy, but also out of gratitude to the two men.

If the two hadn't tipped him off, He Yuzhu might have suffered at the hands of Yi Zhonghai and his two companions.

Moreover, Liu Haizhong did not give a gift when He Yushui and her sister got married, but Liu Guangtian did.

These are things that Yan Bugui simply doesn't know.

Yan Bugui was afraid that He Yuzhu would really ask him for the house, so he dared not continue to pester He Yuzhu.

He turned around and continued to block Xu Damao.

Xu Damao didn't give him any face at all and gave him a good scolding.

That day, He Yushui and her sister came to the courtyard house carrying a large pile of things.

He Yuzhu asked, "Why did you all come together?"

He Yuqing said, "My sister asked me to come back with her."

Lin Jinghan put her things away and asked, "Rain, what happened?"

He Yushui smiled and said, "I have to go on a business trip."

He Yuzhu said, "What's so great about going on a business trip? Do you want us to throw you a farewell party?"

"Sister-in-law, look at my brother." He Yushui was very dissatisfied with He Yuzhu's words and turned to Lin Jinghan to complain.

Lin Jinghan said, "Alright, stop trying to upset her. She was heartbroken for a long time after missing out on going abroad last time."

He Yushui had worked at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for several years and finally got a chance to go abroad.

She had been preparing enthusiastically for a long time, only to find out she was pregnant before her business trip.

Left with no other choice, I had to give the opportunity to someone else. After that, I was busy taking care of my child and never got another chance.

Lin Jinghan, being very polite, asked, "Where are we going this time?"

He Yushui said proudly, "This trip to Hong Kong is for a business event organized by the British government, and they have invited our country to participate."

He Yuqing asked curiously, "It's almost the end of the year, why are you being invited to participate in a business event?"

He Yushui said, "Let's talk about some trade issues..."

She was vague because of confidentiality regulations.

He Yuqing stopped asking questions and started talking about things in Hong Kong.

Of those present, only He Yuzhu and He Yushui knew the most about the place.

He Yuzhu has some memories from later generations, while He Yushui has done a lot of research.

He Yushui asked in surprise, "Brother, how did you know this information?"

He Yuzhu explained with a smile, "You've forgotten, I know a high-ranking leader in the Ministry of Metallurgy."

He's in Guangdong right now, which is close to Hong Kong.

I correspond with him frequently, and these things are mentioned in his letters.

He Yushui did not suspect He Yuzhu, but she asked some questions out of resentment.

He Yuzhu didn't hide anything and told everyone what he knew.

As they chatted, the conversation drifted to the Lou family.

He Yushui said mysteriously, "The Lou family is quite remarkable now; they are considered wealthy in Hong Kong."

Their family is quite close to the Huo family.

This was naturally a reminder given to Lou Xiao'e by He Yuzhu.

Back then, Lou's father harbored a glimmer of hope and was unwilling to leave. In an attempt to persuade him, He Yuzhu brought up the Huo family's affairs with Lou Xiao'e.

With this example in mind, Lou's father finally made up his mind. He wanted to become a successful businessman and return in glory.

He Yuzhu asked, "Will you be able to see the Lou family this time?"

He Yushui said uncertainly, "I don't know about that."

I heard that a cocktail party is going to be held to thank the businessmen who have helped our country.

As for whether the Lou family will be invited, that depends on what the higher-ups decide.

Brother, why are you asking this?

He Yuzhu explained, "I just wanted to make some money through the Lou family."

He Yushui asked, "What kind of business can you do with the Lou family?"

He Yuzhu said, "Don't underestimate me. I've done my research."

Let me tell you, Hong Kong isn't a large place, but it has a large population. This creates a problem: there aren't enough houses.

He Yushui said, "You really know how to worry. If there aren't enough houses over there, are you going to move to Beijing?"

He Yuzhu glared at her and said, "Don't interrupt. I've studied the map of Hong Kong. The Sha Tin and Tuen Mun areas of Hong Kong are definitely going to be heavily developed in the future."

"Buy the land now, develop it later, and you can make a fortune."

He Yushui still looked unconvinced. Lin Jinghan and He Yuqing were also unconvinced.

He Yuzhu has never been to Hong Kong, so his words are not very credible.

Seeing that some people didn't believe him, He Yuzhu then told them some ways to make money.

He did this with the mindset of "whether there's a chance or not, we might as well try our luck."

If He Yushui could meet Lou Xiao'e and tell this as a joke, that would be enough.

She might not care, but Lou Xiao'e will definitely take it to heart.

If He Yuzhu remembers correctly, Lou Xiao'e should have graduated from university and started her own business around this time.

Lou Xiao'e has a good eye for business, and her business has grown very large.

Despite her investments in Beijing, Qin Huairu usurped them.

But she didn't lose money.

Thanks to Sha Zhu, Lou Xiao'e came into contact with the circle of high-ranking leaders and got to know many people.

With the help of those people, I started a business in Shenzhen, and its subsequent development was much better than that of that restaurant.

If there's any loss, it's in the courtyard house.

At the time, no one could have imagined that the courtyard house would later become so valuable. (End of Chapter)
