Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

Around 5 o'clock, He Yushui and her sister arrived at the courtyard house.

Upon meeting He Yuzhu, the first thing the two asked about was the situation in America.

He Yushui works at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, so she's well-informed. News of such a major event in the US reached China the very next day.

She knew that He Yuzhu had taken He Yuanting to the United States, and she paid special attention to this.

He Yuzhu explained it to them again, and only then were the two relieved.

With their worries gone, the two began asking about the situation in the United States.

Although He Yushui works at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, she has only been to Hong Kong and a few Southeast Asian countries, but has never been to the United States.

He Yuqing also didn't have the opportunity to go abroad. Her company did offer an opportunity for an overseas business trip, but she didn't sign up and gave the opportunity to someone else.

He Yushui said, "By the way, a friend of Shen Peng's is going to the US embassy after the New Year."

Give his contact information to Yuanting later. If Yuanting encounters any trouble, she can call him.

He and Shen Peng grew up together, and Yuan Ting had also met him.

He Yuzhu knew that this was He Yushui's good intention, so he did not refuse.

"Okay, I'll give you Yuanting's contact information in a bit."

He Yushui smiled and said, "Brother, tell me about the situation in America."

He Yuzhu then picked out some interesting things and told them to He Yushui.

He Yushui listened with great interest, and was somewhat surprised to hear that He Yuzhu had even gone to watch a basketball game.

"How old are you to still be interested in this?"

He Yuzhu said, "What does my age have to do with it? Can't I have some hobbies?"

"Don't give me that." He Yushui didn't mince words: "I know you too well. You're the kind of person who won't do anything without a profit."

"You must be able to make money watching basketball."

He Yuzhu glared at her and then told her about setting up a talent agency.

The group of people had no experience in this industry, and their faces showed doubt.

"Can you really make money this way?"

He Yuzhu explained to the group, "Of course you can make money. It's just like hiring actors to endorse products in Hong Kong."

This time, I simply replaced the actors with sports stars.

He Yushui had been to Hong Kong, so she naturally knew about the endorsement.

However, she couldn't understand how He Yuzhu made money. If he acted as an agent for players and handled things well, he could indeed make money.

But what others consider a lot of money is nothing to He Yuzhu.

"It's definitely not that simple. Do you have other motives?"

He Yuzhu smiled and said, "Don't we have a clothing factory here? I plan to have them endorse our clothing."

Hearing this, they understood what He Yuzhu meant.

He Yuqing listened to He Yushui and He Yuzhu's discussion and felt somewhat emotional.

"It seems I have indeed become somewhat out of touch with you guys."

He Yuzhu said to her, "Your workplace is always full of meetings and paperwork; it really needs to change."

How about this: you take a leave of absence from your workplace, and I'll pay for your trip abroad for research.

This is certainly an eye-opening experience.

He Yuqing was somewhat tempted.

In this era, especially for those of them who work in the government, conversations often revolve around things abroad.

Especially for people their age, whose children have grown up, many of their children have chosen to study abroad.

"Let's forget about it. If people at work find out, who knows what kind of rumors they'll spread."

Putting everything else aside, just take that car you gave me. I drove it once, and there was gossip going around the office.

He Yushui said, "What's there to be afraid of? We're not stealing or robbing, let them talk."

"I'm not afraid, I just don't want to cause trouble," He Yuqing explained.

He Yushui wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by He Yuzhu.

"Don't give me any more bad advice." He Yushui rolled her eyes at He Yuzhu, but didn't say anything in the end.

He Yuzhu ignored her and said to He Yuqing, "I bought a batch of equipment from the United States, and it will arrive in Qingdao in a little over a month."

One of the sets of equipment belonged to the No. 3 State-owned Cotton Mill, and the rest were also industrial equipment.

I'll give it to you then; you can take it to the station.

The items were used by He Yuzhu to cover up his activities; he hadn't found a buyer before purchasing them.

Once the issue with the blueprints was resolved, He Yuzhu could use it to give credit to He Yuqing.

He Yuqing looked at He Yuzhu with confusion: "Why did you buy so much equipment?"

He Yuzhu didn't plan to tell them about the blueprints, saying, "I can't go out and come back empty-handed."

Anyway, there are quite a few factories in China that want to buy the equipment, and they won't lose money if they do.

The others didn't understand He Yuzhu's idea, but they didn't interfere. Anyway, He Yuzhu had plenty of money, more than he could ever spend.

The family sat together for a lively meal. After the meal, He Yushui and He Yuqing took the gifts home.

He Yuzhu and Lin Jinghan also returned to their residence together.

Inside courtyard number 95, the entire courtyard is becoming increasingly lifeless and appears somewhat dilapidated.

Huaihua and Chen Kai did get married, but Qin Huairu also made a condition: the two of them had to live in a courtyard house.

Chen Kai's family was poor, and he was the youngest in the family, so they had nowhere to live.

Upon hearing this condition, Chen Kai's two sisters-in-law readily agreed.

There was no other way; after the couple got married, they could only rent temporary housing from Yan Bugui.

At the Intermediate People's Court, Yi Zhonghai was staying in his own room.

Banggeng and his wife lived in the Jia family's house, while the two widows squeezed into the Jia family's temporary housing.

If Xiao Dang comes back, Qin Huairu will go to live in Yi Zhonghai's house and let Xiao Dang live with Jia Zhangshi.

As Jia Zhangshi got older, she became increasingly lazy, grinding her teeth and snoring at night, which made it difficult for Xiao Dang to sleep.

So Xiao Dang usually doesn't come back to live; she stays at her workplace and works diligently.

She doesn't have the luxury of being willful right now.

Throughout his life, all of the Jia family's expenses were covered by Sha Zhu, the gullible fool.

Xiao Dang complained that the salary at her company was low and the work was tiring, so she quit because she didn't want to continue.

Without Sha Zhu's protection throughout their lives, the Jia family's life was extremely unsatisfactory.

Xiao Dang didn't have the courage to quit her job, so she worked diligently at her company.

Another reason why Xiao Dang dared not go home was that she was afraid Qin Huairu would ask her for money.

Tang Yanling was carrying the next generation of the Jia family. This was Qin Huairu's first grandson.

No matter how much Qin Huairu disliked Tang Yanling, he still had to take good care of this daughter-in-law.

Tang Yanling also gained status because of her son and lived the life of an empress dowager at home.

Everything in the house had to be given to Tang Yanling first. Food was only given to others after Tang Yanling had eaten her fill.

Jia Zhangshi and Yi Zhonghai were also ranked at the back.

Everyone knows Qin Huairu's personality; she is absolutely unwilling to spend money.

So they set their sights on Yi Zhonghai.

Yi Zhonghai was not happy at all. What did Tang Yanling's child have to do with him?

He doesn't expect that child to support him in his old age.

However, he dared not offend Qin Huairu, so he could only go to Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui to discuss the matter of joint elderly care.

Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui weren't stupid; they knew the Jia family wasn't well-off, so how could they possibly agree to Yi Zhonghai's request?

This is also the reason why the three old men have been arguing frequently lately.

When things didn't work out with Yi Zhonghai, Qin Huairu turned her attention to her two daughters, demanding that they contribute money to support Banggeng's son.

Huaihua had no choice but to play mind games with Qin Huairu in the courtyard.

Xiao Dang immediately disappeared, refusing to see Qin Huairu. (End of Chapter)
