Siheyuan: He Yuzhu since 1958

As Liu Guangfu wolfed down the food on the table, Yu Li and Yu Haitang, who had just walked out of the state-owned restaurant, ran into each other. The two sisters didn't know what to say to each other. In the end, Yu Li was the thick-skinned one who asked first, "Are you okay?!"

Yu Haitang replied, "Very good!" Then he asked, "How about you?!"

Yu Li replied: "I'm fine too."

Yu Haitang continued, "Mom and Dad are always talking about you. Go visit them when you have time."

"I know!" Yu Li replied, and asked, "How does Yan Jiecheng treat you?!"

Yu Haitang replied: "He is very nice to me."

"That's good! I have something to do, so I'll leave first!" After saying that, Yu Li didn't answer Haitang and hurriedly walked past Yu Haitang.

Yu Haitang suddenly turned around and looked at Yu Li's back, feeling a strange feeling in his heart.

More than ten minutes later, Yu Li walked to the door of a courtyard and knocked on it. Not long after, the door opened. The person who opened the door was none other than Li Huaide. Yu Li walked in and asked, "You didn't go out?!"

Li Huaide closed the door and replied, "I'm going out. Who will open the door for you?!" Then he asked, "How is it going?!"

Yu Li replied: "It went smoothly. Yan Jiefang didn't take the bait, but Liu Guangfu did."

Li Huaide asked: "Who is Liu Guangfu?!"

Yu Li told Li Huaide about Liu Guangfu's situation. After listening to Yu Li's introduction, Li Huaide said, "As long as someone stands in front of us to protect us from disaster, it will be fine. It doesn't matter if it's Yan Jiefang or Liu Guangfu." Then he asked, "Does this Liu Guangfu have the ability?!"

Yu Li said: "I don't know if he has the ability. But I know that the only one who can meet your taste is probably He Yuzhu."

After Li Huaide brought Yu Li into the house, he poured a glass of water and handed it to Yu Li, saying, "What a pity, He Yuzhu is too smart!"

Yu Li said: "I heard that He Yuzhu's partner is Lou Zhenhua's daughter."

"Lou Bancheng?!" Li Huaide's brows immediately frowned. Li Huaide had long coveted the Lou family's property. But when Li Huaide was about to take action, the Lou family had already been deserted. Therefore, Li Huaide was still brooding over what happened back then. However, things are different now, and even if Li Huaide is bold, he dare not take advantage of the Lou family.

Although Liu Guangfu didn't make much money in the past few years, he secretly hid a lot of gold bars when he was confiscated. Liu Guangfu didn't plan to touch these gold bars, but today he met Yu Li. An opportunity to make a fortune was in front of him. Liu Guangfu planned to take out some gold bars and bring them to see Yu Li tomorrow.

"Ouch?! Guangfu, where did all these dishes come from?!" Liu Guangfu returned home and handed the packed dishes to his mother. The second aunt took the lunch box and asked excitedly when she saw the dishes inside.

Liu Guangfu replied: "I met Yu Li today. These dishes are leftovers from the dinner she treated me to."

Liu Haizhong glanced at the lunch box opened by his wife and asked, "Why did she invite you to dinner for no reason?!"

Liu Guangfu said, "Who told you that I, your son, am capable?! After tomorrow, Yu Li and I will be partners. Dad, you don't know that Yu Li and Li Huaide went to Hong Kong City and made a lot of money."

Liu Haizhong asked with a smile: "Why did you choose Yu Li instead of others?!"

Liu Guangfu said: "She did look for him! Who said she didn't?! She looked for Yan Jiefang. Yan Jiefang had some opinions about Li because of what he did, so he didn't agree."

Liu Haizhong muttered, "That makes sense."

The second aunt asked, "Old Liu, are you worried that Yu Li is plotting against our son?!"

Liu Haizhong said: "It's hard to say. Anyway, Yu Li is not a simple woman."

At this moment, the voices of Ma Hua and his wife Gu Yan came from outside the door. Liu Guangfu immediately walked to the door, looked out, and asked, "Dad, what's going on next door?!"

The second aunt said, "Your father originally wanted to leave the girl surnamed Kou alone for a few days. Unexpectedly, the girl surnamed Kou directly sold the house to He Yuzhu. This He Yuzhu is really something. He bought it without asking about the situation. Moreover, he bought it and directly lent it to one of his apprentices."

Liu Haizhong said: "He Yuzhu is so ignorant of the ways of the world that he will suffer losses sooner or later!"

Liu Guangfu smiled and rolled his eyes at Liu Haizhong, then said, "Mom, I'm going back to my room to rest for a while. Call me when it's time for dinner."

After Liu Guangfu left, Liu Haizhong said angrily: "What kind of attitude is this kid?!"

The second aunt said, "Guangfu's attitude is very good. If you don't like it, just ignore him."

Ma Hua and Gu Yan worked until 4 o'clock in the afternoon to clean up the house. Looking at the neat and clean house, Gu Yan suddenly felt as if she was in another world. Gu Yan asked: "Ma Hua, do you think I am dreaming?!"

Ma Hua smiled and stretched out his hand to pinch Gu Yan's face. Gu Yan instinctively cried out: "Ouch!" and then asked: "Why are you pinching my face?!"

Ma Hua asked: "Does it hurt?!"

Gu Yan nodded and replied: "It hurts!"

Ma Hua smiled and replied: "If you feel pain, then you are not dreaming."

Gu Yan snuggled in Ma Hua's arms and said, "Ma Hua, your master is so good to you. You can't be ungrateful!"

Ma Hua replied: "Do I need to tell you that?!"

In the evening, when He Yuzhu and Lou Xiaoe came back, Ma Hua brought his wife to thank them. He Yuzhu said something to Ma Hua and then sent them away.

After Ma Hua and his wife left, Lou Xiao'e asked curiously, "He Yuzhu, I heard that you have many students and apprentices. I didn't see you helping others. Why would you help him?!"

He Yuzhu said, "Because Ma Hua is loyal. Although Ma Hua is slow to react and takes longer to learn than others, he is willing to endure hardships. And he won't betray others behind their backs. In the future, our industries will become more and more. If we only rely on the two of us to manage it, won't we be exhausted?! So from now on, we have to prepare some helpers. These helpers don't need to be too smart. As long as they are loyal."

Lou Xiao'e joked, "It's true that birds of a feather flock together. You and my father are becoming more and more alike."

He Yuzhu hugged Lou Xiaoe and said, "Whether my father-in-law likes me or not is none of my business. As long as my wife likes me, that's all."

"You just keep talking nonsense!" Lou Xiao'e stretched out her hand and twisted He Yuzhu's waist, and asked, "Who will be my bridesmaid on our wedding day?!"

He Yuzhu said: "My two sons will be my best men. My two daughters will be your bridesmaids."

There was no conversation that night. At noon the next day, Liu Guangfu appeared at the door of the state-owned restaurant. Not long after, Yu Li came. Yu Li glanced at Liu Guangfu, and Liu Guangfu's score in Yu Li's heart dropped two levels in a row. Without waiting for Liu Guangfu to speak, Yu Li said, "Come in with me!"

Yu Li walked into the state-owned restaurant, glanced at the handwritten menu on the blackboard, and without further ado, ordered directly from the menu on the blackboard. After paying, Yu Li handed the ticket to Liu Guangfu, then walked to a table near the corner and sat down.

More than ten minutes later, Liu Guangfu brought the dishes to the table. Liu Guangfu sat down opposite Yu Li. Yu Li didn't say anything more and asked directly, "Did you bring the food?!"

Liu Guangfu took out a lunch box from his bag, put it on the table, and then pushed it in front of Yu Li and asked, "Do you think these are enough?!"

Yu Li opened the lunch box halfway, and slowly a box of small yellow croaker appeared in front of her. Yu Li closed the lunch box and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that you have quite a lot of food! But this alone can't eat all the food in my hand."
