Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

Before the Spring Festival was even over, He Yushui returned from Hong Kong.

She brought a lot of things with her when she arrived at the courtyard house.

He Yuzhu looked at the things she brought back, his eyes filled with doubt.

Diplomatic personnel have very limited funds when traveling abroad. Furthermore, they must report what they bring with them when they go abroad.

He Yuzhu had quite a few small yellow fish in his space, but he didn't give them to her for this reason.

"Do you have that much funding for business trips?"

He Yushui explained, "What are you thinking? Even if you have a lot of money, you can't buy things for yourself."

These were given to me by Sister Xiao'e.

He Yuzhu asked, "Did you really see her?"

He Yushui nodded and slowly recounted what had happened.

Lou Zhenheng was known as "Lou the Half-City," and this was no joke. The Lou family held shares in most of the industries in Beijing.

After liberation, he gradually gave up some of his shares.

Half of the Lou family left Beijing with their family fortune and went to Hong Kong.

After arriving in Hong Kong, the family split up because they lacked a leader.

After Lou Zhenheng went to Hong Kong, he immediately began to integrate the Lou family's businesses.

In this life, the Lou family did not suffer any misfortune and took most of their assets to Hong Kong.

At the same time, Lou Zhenheng maintained his connections in Beijing.

With these funds and connections, Lou Zhenheng easily integrated Hong Kong's industries.

With the addition of scattered guidance from Ho Yu-chu, the Lou family, while not among the top tycoons in Hong Kong, should not be underestimated.

The Lou family was also qualified to attend this New Year's reception.

He Yushui was in charge of receiving them.

As for these items, they were a token of gratitude from Lou Zhenheng after He Yushui sold him an Angong Niuhuang Wan (a traditional Chinese medicine).

It should be noted that He Yuzhu's Angong Niuhuang Wan is soaked in spiritual spring water, making it an absolute life-saving medicine.

"These were all approved by the organization. Sister Xiao'e even planned to give me shares, but I didn't accept them."

He Yuzhu remembered.

Lou Zhenheng was in poor health in his previous life, and by the 1970s he was no longer able to manage the company.

Fearing conflict among his children over the inheritance, he divided the family property among them while he was still lucid.

As the daughter, Lou Xiao'e lacked influence at the time and received a small share of the property.

However, Lou Zhenheng gave her all the properties in Beijing.

Given the circumstances at the time, no one thought the Lou family would be able to return.

Besides, even if they went back, their family fortune would have already been divided up. So the Lou family didn't care that much.

After the reform and opening up, Lou Xiao'e returned to Beijing, firstly to assess the investment environment, and secondly to reclaim the Lou family's assets.

However, she was not well-regarded at the time, and the Lou family's assets had all been disposed of and she had not been able to get them back.

Later, through Sha Zhu, he got to know a high-ranking leader. And through that leader, he managed to get back a portion of the assets.

Sha Zhu didn't know exactly how many assets they brought back. Anyway, the children of the high-ranking leader had a pretty good relationship with Lou Xiao'e.

Later, after Qin Huairu and Lou Xiao'e had a falling out, the children of the high-ranking leader started to dislike Sha Zhu and also disliked Qin Huairu.

If it weren't for the support of the high-ranking leader and his wife for Sha Zhu, and Sha Zhu's support for Qin Huairu, Qin Huairu might not have been able to get the restaurant and the courtyard house.

When the high-ranking leader and his wife passed away one after another, Sha Zhu lost his backing and became a useless person in the eyes of the Jia family.

A month after the death of the high-ranking leader's wife, Bang Geng lost his job in the ministry.

Back home, Qin Huairu cried and went to find Sha Zhu, begging him to reinstate Bang Geng's job.

Sha Zhu wanted to go find the big boss's child, but the boss wouldn't even see him.

Finally, when the Jia family realized that Sha Zhu was of no use at all, they kicked him out of their home.

"Is it for Lou Xiao'e's family?" He Yushui shook her head: "They didn't say, and I didn't ask."

Brother, let me tell you, Sister Xiao'e told me privately that she will definitely deliver on her promise regarding the shares she gave me.

Seeing her greedy look, He Yuzhu couldn't help but flick her forehead: "Stop dreaming. Even if I gave it to you, would you take it? Would you dare to take it?"

He Yushui covered the spot where she had been hit, glaring at He Yuzhu with dissatisfaction: "Can't I even think about it? You have no idea how much wealth the Lou family has now."

It's said to be at least two hundred million, in US dollars.

There were indeed quite a few, but none of them caught He Yuzhu's eye.

He just hasn't had the chance. If he were given the chance, he could earn more than the Lou family in no time.

He Yuzhu warned her: "I'm warning you, don't let money blind you."

If you want money, just tell me. Don't take money you shouldn't have.

He Yushui said, "I know, you don't need to remind me. I've already reported these things to the organization."

He Yuzhu was relieved: "That's for the best. You should also remind your partner not to embezzle or break the law. We don't need this at home."

He Yushui snorted: "You talk like you have a lot of money."

He Yuzhu glared at her, and she hid behind Lin Jinghan, saying, "Sister-in-law, look at my brother."

Lin Jinghan tried to mediate between the siblings, saying, "Alright, look how old you both are, still fighting like this. Aren't you afraid the kids will laugh at you if they see this?"

After the commotion subsided, He Yushui continued talking about the Hong Kong situation.

"Brother, I've told Sister Xiao'e all your analyses."

If she loses money in business and comes after you, that has nothing to do with me.

He Yuzhu said with dissatisfaction, "You just sold me out like that."

He Yushui chuckled, ignored He Yuzhu, and began whispering to Lin Jinghan.

There was a knock on the door; it was Xu Damao and his wife.

“I heard that Yushui is back. My Xiaoling asked about you during the Spring Festival. She said you were away on a business trip and hadn’t come back yet.”

He Yushui smiled and invited the two to sit down, then picked up the candy she had brought back and gave it to Xu Damao's daughter.

"Brother Da Mao, I just got back yesterday and came to see my brother. In a couple of days, when I have some free time, I'll go see Xiao Ling."

Xu Damao didn't stand on ceremony at all and picked up the food on the table to eat.

"Quick, tell me, what's life like for people in Hong Kong?"
Do they need receipts when they buy things?

He Yushui laughed out loud: "Da Mao, can't you even read the newspaper?"

They don't need tickets over there. With money, you can buy anything.

Xu Damao sighed, "It would be great if we didn't need tickets here either."

He Yuzhu said, "Alright, let's not talk about this anymore."

Xu Damao quickly realized what was going on and said with a smile, "Let's not talk about these things."

"Did all this rainwater come from Hong Kong? What is it?"

Everyone tacitly changed the subject and stopped talking about these things.

If the children run around in the house and accidentally tell others, it could cause trouble for the family.

He Yushui's return was already eye-catching, and everyone in the courtyard was watching the He family.

Xu Damao said, "Qin Huairu and Yi Zhonghai are keeping an eye on your house, one on the left and one on the right."

"Speaking of which, Brother Zhu is really capable. Even with them watching him like that, he didn't fall for their tricks."

It wasn't that He Yuzhu was capable; it was that he knew what would become of Sha Zhu, so how could he dare to follow in Sha Zhu's footsteps and get involved in this mess?

He would never do something that would lead to eternal regret.

He Yushui said, "It's alright, I'm used to it. Our family has always been surrounded by them. In front is Yan Bugui, on the left and right are Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu, and behind is a deaf old lady."

Xu Damao laughed and said, "You're right. We're surrounded on all sides. If we're not careful, someone will take advantage of us."

Criticizing Yi Zhonghai and his ilk is the perfect topic of conversation. A few people could talk about it for days and nights. (End of Chapter)
