Siheyuan: Revenge of the Stupid Pillar

Under He Yuzhu's command, the four apprentices began to load the goods in an orderly manner, and soon the two cars were full.

"Uncle Fu, just stay here and watch. We'll be back soon."

"Okay, be careful on the road!"

He Yuzhu brought four apprentices to pull the things to the courtyard. In order to save time, they unloaded the things in the courtyard first, left two people to move the things into the house, and the other three returned to Lou's house to continue pulling things.

The Lou family had so much stuff that it took two trucks four trips to move everything.

After everything was done, He Yuzhu looked at the time and it was already half past eleven.

"Ma Hua, Qin Shou, Chu Sheng, Fan Tong, thank you for your hard work today."

Qin Shou spoke first: "Master, what are you talking about? You are our mentor, isn't it our duty to help you?"

"Second Brother/Second Junior Brother is right!"

He Yuzhu said with satisfaction: "I think it was not in vain that I accepted you four disciples. It's getting late, you should go home quickly!"

"Master, goodbye!" x4.

"goodbye!"

……

The next day, when He Yuzhu went out to do some work in the morning, he actually saw his first love Ran Qiuye who was sweeping the streets.

Looking at Ran Qiuye's haggard and weather-beaten face, He Yuzhu felt very uncomfortable.

Because of their parents' obstruction, they were unable to be together, but Ran Qiuye was her first love after all, and she gave him her virginity. He had a special feeling for Ran Qiuye.

Ran Qiuye looked at the well-dressed He Yuzhu, with mixed feelings in her heart. He Yuzhu was her first man, and it was impossible for her not to have feelings for He Yuzhu.

Ran Qiuye often blamed herself for not being brave enough at the beginning. She backed down as soon as her parents opposed it. Later, she wanted to find He Yuzhu, but when she heard that He Yuzhu was married, she gave up.

She was sad for a long time because of this and even suffered a serious illness. Later, relatives and friends offered her a partner, but she didn't like any of them and has been single ever since.

After all, she was the one who let He Yuzhu down. Now she was feeling lonely, while He Yuzhu was enjoying great success. She really didn't know how to face He Yuzhu. She could only pretend not to see him and continued to sweep the streets with her head down.

He Yuzhu remembered the plot of his previous life and knew that Ran's father had been arrested because of his identity problem. Ran Qiuye was implicated and demoted to sweep the streets.

The other person was his first love, and he couldn't just stand by and watch her die. He Yuzhu walked forward slowly and called softly:

"Akiba!"

Ran Qiuye forced a smile on her face, tears in her eyes as she said, "Brother Zhuzi!"

He Yuzhu asked knowingly, "Qiuye, what happened? You're not a teacher, why are you sweeping the streets?"

Ran Qiuye choked up and said, "Brother Zhuzi, my parents have been arrested, and I've been demoted to sweep the streets. I really don't know what to do."

He Yuzhu frowned and asked, "Is it because of your identity?"

"Correct!"

Ran Qiuye could no longer bear it and tears fell down her face. She was in great torment these past few days. She prayed to the sky and the earth but no one answered her prayers. She almost jumped into the river.

He Yuzhu saw this, patted Ran Qiuye on the back, and said in a gentle voice:

"Qiuye, don't be sad, I may have a way to save your uncle and aunt."

Ran Qiuye said with surprise, "Really?"

He Yuzhu explained, "I've often cooked for a senior leader over the years, and we have a pretty good relationship. His words carry a lot of weight, so he should be able to save my uncle and aunt."

In He Yuzhu's previous life, Lou Xiaoe's parents asked the leader for help, and Lou Xiaoe's parents were released the next day. Since the leader could save Lou Xiaoe's parents, he should be able to save Ran Qiuye's parents as well.

Ran Qiuye was overjoyed and said, "Great! Brother Zhuzi, where does that big leader live? Let's go and ask him for help now."

He Yuzhu said gently: "Qiuye, don't worry. The big boss must be at work now. I'll go to his house to cook in the evening and talk about your parents."

Ran Qiuye said hurriedly: "Yes... yes, I was too anxious. I will go with you tonight."

He Yuzhu shook his head and said, "I'd better go alone. The leader has a special status and ordinary people can't enter his house."

Ran Qiuye's expression froze for a moment, then he understood and nodded.

"I understand! Brother Zhuzi, I'll leave my parents' affairs in your hands."

He Yuzhu smiled gently and said, "Don't be so polite. Although we can't be husband and wife, we are still friends."

Ran Qiuye was filled with emotion and whispered, "Brother Zhuzi, have you been doing well these years?"

He Yuzhu smiled faintly and said, "It's pretty good. Now I'm the father of four children, and I've also been promoted to deputy director of the factory's logistics department."

Hearing this, Ran Qiuye forced a smile and said, "Brother Zhuzi, congratulations on your success in both your family and career."

He Yuzhu smiled and said, "Thank you!"

By the way, do you still live in the same place?"

Ran Qiuye nodded and said, "Well, I still live in the same place and have never moved."

He Yuzhu raised his wrist to check the time and said helplessly:

"Qiuye, I have to go back to work. I will inform you as soon as I have any news."

"Well! Work is important, go get busy!"

Although Ran Qiuye was reluctant in her heart, she did not dare to show it. She smiled and nodded, watching He Yuzhu leave.

Ran Qiuye thought that after so much time had passed, she should have forgotten He Yuzhu, but the moment she saw He Yuzhu, the love in her heart became stronger.

……

Because he had to go to the boss's house to cook in the evening, He Yuzhu said hello to Li Huaide and left work an hour early.

After get off work, He Yuzhu went to the vegetable market to buy vegetables, and then went straight to the leader's house.

The boss's wife was very happy to see He Yuzhu and said enthusiastically:

"Zhu Zi, how come you have time to come to my aunt's house today?"

He Yuzhu smiled flatteringly and said, "It's been a while since I last saw uncle and aunt. I wanted to come and cook a meal with you two elders."

Hearing this, Liu Chunfang smiled and said, "You have a conscience, kid."

"But if you want to come, just come. Why are you selling vegetables?"

He Yuzhu smiled and said, "I passed by the vegetable market after get off work and just bought some vegetables."

Liu Chunfang smiled and said, "How much did you spend on the groceries? I'll give you the money."

He Yuzhu shook his head and said, "No, no, it's not much money."

Liu Chunfang said sternly, "No, I have to pay for the food. I'm already very happy that you can come and cook for us. How can I let you pay for the food?"

He Yuzhu said helplessly: "Aunt Liu, there's really no need..."

Liu Chunfang insisted, "No, I must pay for the food, otherwise I won't eat the meal you cook."

After saying that, Liu Chunfang took out five yuan and put it into He Yuzhu's pocket without saying a word.

"Aunt, you don't need so much. These dishes only cost two yuan."

After He Yuzhu finished speaking, he took out three yuan from the five yuan bill and handed it to Liu Chunfang.

Liu Chunfang didn't take it, and said mischievously, "I'll keep these three yuan with you for now. You can buy some vegetables next time you come."

"No, it's what it's worth. I can't take advantage of you."

"Zhu Zi, after today, don't you want to come to your aunt's house to buy groceries?"

"No ..."

"If not, just keep the extra money."

"OK then!"
