Transmigrating Through the Heavens: Starting with the Silly Pillar of the Courtyard

Xu Fugui was overjoyed, never expecting such a turn of events, that he would actually replace Yi Zhonghai as the liaison officer.

He was in despair just now, who would have thought that He Yuzhu would still dare to stand up to him?

While Xu Fugui was happy, he also felt that He Yuzhu had changed a lot. In the past, if Sha Zhu encountered trouble, he would just rush in and beat people up without thinking.

He Yuzhu now knows how to exploit the rules, and this destructive power is more effective than physical violence.

Hitting someone doesn't actually scare many people. He Yuzhu certainly wouldn't injure anyone, otherwise the police would arrest him. Getting slapped a few times, aside from losing face, doesn't really frighten many people.

He Yuzhu is now relentlessly pursuing Yi Zhonghai, even trying to sabotage the appointment of him to the Military Control Commission, which shows just how vengeful He Yuzhu is.

Xu Damao also beamed with joy, tilting his head back as if he were very proud.

His father becoming the liaison officer for the courtyard house was something to be particularly proud of at that time.

Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui also happily returned home with their families; they had made a name for themselves with the military control commission officer today.

As for what does Yi Zhonghai's removal as liaison officer have to do with them, they would be more than happy to have themselves as the sole liaison officer in the courtyard.

Of course, neither Liu Haizhong nor Yan Bugui had any idea what benefits they could gain from this liaison officer.

Liu Haizhong simply enjoys being an official, and even the liaison officer is an official. Because of this, he deliberately didn't hit the child today.

Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu can finally get a good night's sleep today.

Yan Bugui hurried back, intending to figure out how to use his position as a liaison officer to gain personal benefits. As for preventing enemy attacks, what was that?

Yan Bugui dared not provoke those people; if something happened to him, his whole family would be finished.

"Zhu Zi, come on, let's go to Uncle Xu's house and have a drink."

"Okay, I'll push the car back and then head over."

Xu Fugui and Wang Chunlan took Xu Damao home to prepare.

"Big brother, you were really amazing this time. You ruined that bastard Yi Zhonghai's plans again."

"Alright, hurry up and finish your meal and go to sleep. I'm going to Uncle Xu's house in the backyard to talk to him for a bit, I'll be back in a bit."

"Okay, I understand."

After giving He Yushui his instructions, He Yuzhu went to the kitchen cabinet, took out a plate, and then took out some fried peanuts from his storage space.

He Yuzhu often cooks delicious food in his space, such as braised pork and fried peanuts.

He Yuzhu brought peanuts to Xu Damao's house.

"Zhu Zi, why are you taking things? Your Uncle Xu's family has everything."

"It's okay, I cooked extra last night, it would have spoiled if we didn't eat it soon."

"Da Mao, what are you standing there for? Get a chair for your brother Zhu Zi."

Xu Damao showed He Yuzhu a lot of respect today, even bringing over a chair. He also saw He Yuzhu actively vote for his father; this made him a friend of their family.

When Xu Damao didn't have any ill intentions towards you, he was also a very capable person.

"Come on, Zhu Zi, we only have one bottle of wine, so let's each have half a jin."

"Dad, pour me some too."

Fourteen-year-old Xu Damao shamelessly insisted on drinking. He hadn't yet started learning how to project movies from Xu Fugui; he had just graduated from junior high school and wasn't working, spending his days wandering around the nearby alleys.

Just like Sha Zhu, who went to Tianqiao to learn wrestling after graduating from elementary school, children in this era are raised in a free-range manner.

Xu Fugui didn't want to pour him a drink, but then he saw Xu Damao's pitiful appearance.

"Uncle Xu, it's alright to pour some for Young Master Mao."

He Yuzhu took the initiative to offer some advice, hoping to avoid conflict with Xu Damao and prevent him from making enemies everywhere. Of course, he also knew that Xu Damao wouldn't remember his kindness when it came to causing trouble.

Sometimes he simply can't stand seeing others doing better than him; this kind of petty person has existed throughout history. It's not just limited to traditional courtyard houses, but will continue to exist in the future.

"Okay, half a cup it is then."

Xu Fugui poured one ounce of wine into a two-ounce wine glass for Xu Damao.

"Zhu Zi, I have to thank you today. Otherwise, if that old schemer Yi Zhonghai had really become the liaison, who knows how many troubles would have occurred in our compound."

Xu Fugui was very angry today. He only learned about the news that the courtyard was going to select liaison officers after he returned home and met with the military control officer.

If he had known earlier, he could have done some work. Now that things have come to this, even if he had a solution, he wouldn't have the time to implement it.

When Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong, and Yan Bugui were elected, Xu Fugui had already given up hope.

He Yuzhu's words, however, reversed the situation, much to Xu Fugui's delight. His lost job had been returned to him, and he was determined to thank He Yuzhu.

The key point is that Xu Fugui recently noticed that He Yuzhu seems to have a completely different way of doing things than the silly boy he used to be.

"Slurp"

"I just can't stand him. A scoundrel like him should be shot. His life is a waste."

"Yes, that's absolutely right. He tried to bribe people with small favors in order to become a liaison officer and get some small help from everyone. That kind of person has a dirty mind."

Xu Fugui and He Yuzhu each uttered a sentence denouncing Yi Zhonghai, and when they turned around, they saw that Xu Damao had already fallen asleep on the table.

"This kid, we tell him not to drink, but he insists on drinking. That's all he can drink."

"Da Mao is still young, he needs to practice more in the future."

"Come on, ignore him, my nephew and I will drink it ourselves."

Xu Fugui and He Yuzhu were drinking and chatting inside the house, while also criticizing Yi Zhonghai for being a ungrateful son.

It was past 10 p.m. when He Yuzhu left Xu Fugui's house.

As soon as they reached the cellar entrance, they heard faint sounds coming from inside.

He Yuzhu quickly guessed some of the plot points.

He Yuzhu returned to the house and decisively opened the window. Through the crack, he saw that the door to the Jia family's house had been opened a crack.

Then a figure appeared and quickly walked towards the backyard.

The courtyard house has two cellars, one in the front yard and one in the back yard, which are usually used by everyone to store vegetables for winter.

He Yuzhu quietly opened the door, picked up a small twig from the ground, and walked towards the backyard.

Upon reaching the cellar entrance, they indeed heard rustling sounds coming from inside.

He Yuzhu went straight up and stuck the cellar door shut with small branches, making it impossible to open from the inside. He then clapped his hands and went home to sleep without a trace.

He Yuzhu was busy harvesting vegetables, feeding livestock, and catching fish in the pond at night in the space.

After finishing my work, I quickly slept for two hours before coming out of the online space.

"Brother, what was all that commotion outside doing last night?"

"I didn't hear anything, I'm so sleepy, who cares what's going on outside?"

He Yushui didn't think much of it and followed He Yuzhu down from the second floor to the bathroom to brush her teeth and wash her face.

Since the bathroom was renovated at home, the two of them no longer need to go out and fight with other people for the toilet.

He Yuzhu went to the kitchen to make breakfast first, while keeping an eye on the discussions outside.

It took me a while to realize that I had done the right thing by locking the cellar door last night when I saw it wasn't closed.

There were two thieves in the cellar. Although they tried to explain that they were just coming to the cellar at night to take vegetables, one of the children accidentally locked the cellar door.

Jia Zhangshi scratched Yi Zhonghai's face until it was covered in scratches. Jia Dongxu then beat Qin Huairu up on the spot. If someone hadn't stopped him, he probably would have killed her on the spot.

The story of Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu, which they had to tell, has spread throughout the alley and even to the steel rolling mill.

Yi Zhonghai felt like he'd been screwed over; he had no idea who had done it.

Could it be He Yuzhu? Sure enough, this guy has been watching me the whole time.

They had no choice but to call for help; it was December in the north, and it was too cold.

The two men panicked when they found they couldn't open the cellar door, and then they huddled together for warmth.

But I have to go out eventually. If I'm discovered the next morning, I'll really be close to death.

With no other option, Yi Zhonghai could only shout for help, and Liu Haizhong was the first to hear him.

Xu Fugui, Xu Damao, Liu Guangqi, and then Ma San, who lived in the west wing of the middle courtyard, Yan Bugui, and Zhang Xiaoquan in the front courtyard all got up.

Everyone was afraid that he was an enemy agent, and they only dared to open the door after Yi Zhonghai introduced himself.

Then everyone saw Yi Zhonghai, followed by Qin Huairu.

Seeing this scene was quite explosive, and everyone's gossipy eyes were full of passion.

Jia Zhangshi then went berserk and launched a brutal attack on Yi Zhonghai.

Jia Dongxu, who had been hiding in the crowd, saw Qin Huairu and his mind went blank. He felt as if a green hat had fallen from the sky onto his head.

In short, last night's drama was very exciting, but He Yuzhu, the instigator, remained quite calm.

On his way to work, He Yuzhu heard people in the alley spreading stories about the incestuous relationship that happened last night.

The master had an affair with his disciple's wife, especially since the master didn't even have children, and the disciple's wife was introduced by the master. There's so much information in this.

In the courtyard houses and alleyways, the women were extremely busy today, eager to uncover the truth.

On the path of science, they maintain an objective, meticulous, and error-free attitude.

He Yuzhu spent a busy day at Fengzeyuan, another day of honing his culinary skills.

Back at the courtyard house at night, Xu Damao rushed to He Yuzhu's side, his face beaming with excitement.

"Come inside quickly, I'll tell you the latest situation."

Perhaps because they drank together last night, Xu Damao felt that he had a good relationship with He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu returned to the house, first replacing the coal briquettes in the living room stove, and then handed the lunchbox to He Yushui so she could heat up the food.

Xu Damao couldn't wait to tell He Yuzhu about the new events that happened in the courtyard today.

It turns out that yesterday when Qin Huairu went back, Jia Dongxu stripped her naked and examined her for a long time, even sniffing her private parts, but he couldn't find any evidence.

In this season, with the cellar so cold, nothing serious would actually happen between the two of them.

Yesterday, Yi Zhonghai called Qin Huairu to the cellar to discuss something. It was because he had pushed Qin Huairu to the Jia family in order to appease her.

Qin Huairu kept using this to threaten Yi Zhonghai; to put it bluntly, she just wanted money.

Yi Zhonghai is the kind of person who always gets big results with little money, so he certainly won't keep giving Qin Huairu money.

So the two of them discussed in the cellar how to get benefits for Qin Huairu. Yi Zhonghai's first thought was definitely He Yuzhu.

In the courtyard house, there were only a few wealthy families.

Xu Fugui is a scoundrel, and he works for Lou Bancheng, so Yi Zhonghai certainly wouldn't dare to scheme against him.

Liu Haizhong is brainless but impulsive; trying to scheme against him will likely lead to trouble.
