Qin Huairu never expected that Qin Jingru would be so disrespectful to her. The smile on her face stiffened for a moment, but she still forced herself to say, "Jingru, you just came to Siheyuan and may not know much about it. The people in our Siheyuan have always been like a family, and we have a very good relationship. In my opinion, you should have a good talk with He Yuzhu, and then invite everyone over, so it will be lively and wonderful." Qin Huairu tried to persuade Qin Jingru to change her mind.

Qin Jingru frowned slightly, her eyes fell on Qin Huairu, and she thought carefully about what she had just said. Although she felt that what Qin Huairu said was not completely correct, she had to admit that there was some truth in it. Just as Qin Jingru opened her mouth and was about to refute or add something, He Yuzhu walked over at a leisurely pace with a helpless look on his face.

He Yuzhu crossed his arms, glanced at Qin Huairu and Qin Jingru, and said coldly: "When did this courtyard become a family? Don't we all live our own lives? The most important thing is to live your own life well first."

When Qin Jingru heard what He Yuzhu said, her heart skipped a beat, fearing that He Yuzhu would misunderstand that she and Qin Huairu were in the same group. She hurriedly ran to He Yuzhu and explained anxiously, "Brother Zhuzi, don't misunderstand me. I never intended to agree with her at all."

He Yuzhu raised his eyebrows slightly, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said: "This matter has nothing to do with you, don't get involved. Qin Huairu, I think you are really bored, right?"

Qin Huairu had been working in this courtyard for so many years that her face was as thick as a city wall. She didn't care about He Yuzhu's cold words at all, and still looked at He Yuzhu with a smile on her face, saying: "Zhuzi, we are neighbors in the same courtyard. We see each other every day. What are you saying? It's so hurtful."

He Yuzhu couldn't help but sneer after hearing this, and replied bluntly: "Why do you seem to not understand what I'm saying? I've made it clear that we should just get together as a family and enjoy this little life. But you asked me to treat the people in the courtyard to a meal. I'm surprised, why have I never seen you treat the people in the courtyard to a meal? And you have the nerve to advise me, don't you feel embarrassed?"

The smile on Qin Huairu's face froze for a moment, but soon returned to normal. She tried to persuade He Yuzhu from another angle and said, "Zhuzi, didn't you and Qin Jingru just get married? How can you not have a wedding for such a big event? This is a big deal here. If you don't have a wedding, everyone will think it's weird."

He Yuzhu looked at Qin Huairu with a serious and firm expression, and said: "This is advocated by the country. Now people pay attention to living a good life and refuse extravagance. No matter how splendid the wedding is, can it be eaten? It is better to spend money on the right things and live a good life."

Qin Huairu was still unwilling to give up. Just as she was about to open her mouth to refute again, He Yuzhu took the lead and stared at her and said, "Okay, I haven't settled the accounts with you yet. Calculate it yourself. How much have you taken from me over the years? How much do you owe me? Don't think I have forgotten."

Qin Huairu never expected that He Yuzhu would suddenly do this. She was choked and speechless. She opened her mouth but couldn't say anything for a long time.

In this awkward atmosphere, Yi Zhonghai walked over slowly with his hands behind his back. He looked at Qin Huairu, who was embarrassed, and then looked at He Yuzhu, who was serious, and couldn't help but say, "Zhuzi, what are you doing? How can you say so many unpleasant things? After all, we are all from the same courtyard, and we see each other every day. If there is anything, we can't talk it out. Why do we have to make the relationship so awkward?"

He Yuzhu frowned and looked at Yi Zhonghai helplessly, questioning in his tone: "Uncle Yi, I just want to live my life peacefully, is there anything wrong with that? I haven't stolen or robbed anyone, so why is it so difficult to ask for this?"

Yi Zhonghai narrowed his eyes slightly, with a serious look on his face, and said, "Zhu Zi, we are all neighbors living in the same courtyard. We see each other every day. There is no need to make the relationship so stiff. It is not good to be so aggressive. We should all be considerate of each other. Don't you think this makes sense?"

He Yuzhu sneered, looked at Yi Zhonghai, and responded without showing any weakness: "Oh? I'm not as generous as you, Uncle Yi, who always thinks of others. By the way, Qin Huairu, I remember that you still owe me a lot of money. When are you going to pay it back?"

Qin Huairu was embarrassed when she heard this. Her eyes were full of helplessness. She stammered, "Zhu Zi, you also know the situation of our family. Now Jia Dongxu..."

But before Qin Huairu could finish her words, He Yuzhu ruthlessly interrupted her. He Yuzhu looked at her and said seriously, "Sister Qin, I'm not trying to embarrass you on purpose. But you've borrowed this money for so long, and I have my own difficulties. You should calculate it carefully and give me an exact amount tomorrow so that we can settle this account."

Qin Huairu wanted to explain a few more words, trying to get He Yuzhu to give her some more time, but He Yuzhu didn't want to listen anymore. He turned to Qin Jingru and said, "Jingru, let's go. Instead of spending this free time, why don't you go back and think about what to cook tomorrow?" After that, he took Qin Jingru and left without looking back.

Qin Huairu looked at He Yuzhu's departing back, feeling angry and anxious. She turned around, looked at Yi Zhonghai with a wronged look on her face, and said, "Uncle Yi, tell me what's going on? Why did He Yuzhu suddenly become so unkind?"

Yi Zhonghai frowned slightly, looked at Qin Huairu and asked, "Qin Huairu, tell me the truth, how much money do you owe He Yuzhu now?"

Qin Huairu smiled awkwardly, her eyes dodging as she said, "Uncle Yi, this is not a small amount of money. But you also know our family's current situation. After Jia Dongxu left, the family relied on me alone, and I really don't have any extra money to pay him back. Uncle Yi, you have to help me."

Qin Huairu wanted to continue to talk about her difficulties, trying to get Yi Zhonghai to help her find a way to repay the money. Yi Zhonghai naturally understood the meaning behind Qin Huairu's words, which was nothing more than wanting him to help her repay the money or give her some advice. He smiled awkwardly and changed the subject: "What were you talking about with Qin Jingru just now? It seems that you two were chatting quite lively."
