Siheyuan: Revenge of the Stupid Pillar

He Yuzhu looked at Liu Haizhong's departing back and sighed:

"There really are all kinds of birds in the forest. Liu Haizhong is willing to go to such great lengths just to be a deputy captain of a patrol team?"

"Haha, that's good too. All this money belongs to me."

Ding Qiunan walked out of the bedroom and pouted, "Hubby, what are you mumbling about?"

He Yuzhu evaded the question, "Nothing, it's getting late, shall we get some rest?"

Ding Qiunan looked at He Yuzhu with burning eyes, and opened his thin lips slightly:

"Husband, are you hiding something from me?"

He Yuzhu shook his head and said, "No, you are my wife, the person closest to me, I will not hide anything from you."

Ding Qiunan raised an eyebrow and asked, "What were you talking about with Liu Haizhong just now?"

He Yuzhu frowned and said, "Didn't I tell you before? It's about Liu Haizhong's reinstatement."

Ding Qiunan pouted and said, "Are you so kind? I always feel that there is something here that I don't know."

He Yuzhu pretended to be helpless and said, "Wife, I really have nothing to hide from you. Your most important task now is to take good care of the baby and stop thinking about it all day long."

He Yuzhu did not tell Ding Qiunan about the money. After all, he now has two other families and two lovers. He has a lot of expenses and must save more private money.

Ding Qiunan said with a hint of dissatisfaction: "I'm not having any random thoughts. I'm going to sleep!"

He Yuzhu said with a smile: "Okay! Wife, can we have sex tonight?"

Ding Qiunan's pretty face flushed slightly, and she said with a seductive look, "Of course you can, but you have to be gentle."

He Yuzhu said ambiguously: "No problem, I will be gentle!"

……

The next day, as soon as He Yuzhu arrived at the office, Liu Haizhong came to him in a hurry.

"Zhu Zi, this is the money I just got from my wedding, a total of 1,700 yuan. I'm leaving the position of deputy captain of my patrol team to you."

He Yuzhu frowned and said, "Uncle Liu, isn't it 1,500 yuan? What do you mean by giving an extra 200 yuan?"

Liu Haizhong smiled flatteringly and said, "Zhu Zi, the extra two hundred yuan is your hard work fee."

He Yuzhu pretended to be dissatisfied and said, "Uncle Liu, didn't I tell you last night? I'm helping you not because of the money, but because of our relationship over the years."

Liu Haizhong said solemnly, "Zhu Zi, I know you value feelings, but you've been running around for me, spending so much time and energy. I can't let you suffer any loss."

Liu Haizhong didn't want to give He Yuzhu money, but he wanted to get the position of deputy captain of the patrol team so much. He was afraid that He Yuzhu would not try his best, so he reluctantly gave He Yuzhu 200 yuan as a hard work fee.

He Yuzhu pretended to be serious and said, "Okay, I'll accept it this time, but you can't do this again next time."

Liu Haizhong said with a smile: "Okay, uncle won't do this next time."

"Zhu Zi, when will my position be finalized?"

He Yuzhu said seriously, "Uncle Liu, I'm going to go find Director Li right now. I'll let you know as soon as I have any news."

Liu Haizhong said excitedly: "Zhu Zi, you go ahead and do your work. I'll go back to the workshop first."

As Liu Haizhong said this, he slowly left He Yuzhu's office.

When He Yuzhu saw Liu Haizhong leave, his eyes immediately fell on the large stack of money in front of him, and a brilliant smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

This is 1,700 yuan. Even with his high salary, it would take him nearly a year to earn this much money.

He Yuzhu's happiness did not last long, and the smile on his face faded again because he realized that he had to give most of the 1,700 yuan to Li Huaide.

Li Huaide can refuse it, but he cannot not give it.

Li Huaide had said no, but what if that was just a polite remark? If you didn't give it, they might very well make things difficult for you.

Thinking of this, He Yuzhu wanted to slap himself a few times.

"Why the hell did I tell Li Huaide about the money in the first place? If I hadn't told him, he would never have known. Now that he knows, I can't not give him some, but if I do, it'll hurt my heart. I'm really torn!"

He Yuzhu hesitated for half a minute and decided to give Li Huaide one thousand yuan.

He will have to rely on Li Huaide in the next few years. There is no need to create a rift with Li Huaide for this little money. That would be too costly.

He Yuzhu counted out seven hundred yuan from a stack of money and put it into the space, then picked up the remaining one thousand yuan and walked towards the factory director's office.

Li Huaide saw He Yuzhu and joked, "I was wondering why there were magpies calling this morning. Turns out there's a distinguished guest coming to visit!"

He Yuzhu said with a smile: "Brother Li, I am indeed a distinguished guest to you today, because I am here to give you money."

As He Yuzhu spoke, he placed a stack of money in front of Li Huaide.

Li Huaide looked at the stack of money in front of him and said in a deep voice: "Zhu Zi, judging by the thickness, it should be a thousand yuan, right?"

He Yuzhu flattered: "Brother Li, you have a keen eye. It's exactly one thousand yuan, no more, no less."

Li Huaide said solemnly, "Zhu Zi, where did you get so much money? Also, what do you mean by giving me so much money?"

"He Yuzhu, let me tell you, I, Li Huaide, am upright and incorruptible. Don't try to corrupt me with money."

He Yuzhu's mouth twitched when he heard this, and he cursed in his heart:

"Damn it, Li Huaide, what kind of person are you? I know you clearly. You are so upright and honest. Are you kidding me?"

He Yuzhu said with a smile: "Brother Li, don't get excited, this money is not mine, it was given to me by Liu Haizhong."

"Didn't I tell you yesterday? Liu Haizhong was willing to give anything to become an official. He gave me a total of 1,500 yuan, and I kept 500 yuan. This 1,000 yuan is for you."

After hearing this, Li Huaide's expression eased slightly, and he said calmly, "So that's what's going on!"

"But, like I said yesterday, I don't care about money at all. As long as Liu Haizhong works hard, that's all that matters."

He Yuzhu said confidently: "Brother Li, don't worry about this. Liu Haizhong's ability to do things is absolutely no problem."

"Besides, this is a windfall, it would be a waste if I didn't take it."

When Li Huaide heard this, a hint of desire flashed in his eyes, but he finally shook his head and said:

"Zhu Zi, you should know that with my family background and current status, I'm not short of money at all, so I won't take this money. Can you keep it as well?"

He Yuzhu said meaningfully: "Brother Li, if you don't take this money, how can I dare to take it?"

Li Huaide's heart trembled when he heard this, and he said coldly: "He Yuzhu, are you going to drag me down with you?"

He Yuzhu's face changed drastically, and he spoke incoherently: "Li...Brother Li, I definitely didn't mean that. I will return all the money now."

Li Huaide laughed when he saw this and said, "Zhu Zi, I was just kidding you. Look how scared you are."

"You don't have to return the money. Just keep it. I'll pretend I know nothing about it."
