Courtyard House: He Yuzhu started in 1948

He Yuzhu became a well-known philanthropist in the compound.

Capable and kind-hearted, the large courtyard at No. 95 Qingyun Hutong produced a man even more outstanding than Meng Chang!

When Liu Haizhong found out, he beat up the two brothers, Liu Guangqi and Liu Guangtian, again... Teaching people to read in the backyard, isn't that a slap in my face?

Both of my children are utterly useless.

He couldn't beat He Yuzhu, couldn't learn from him, and couldn't handle things as well.

The feng shui of their names has been ruined by those two good-for-nothing brats.

After being beaten, the two brothers, Liu Guangqi and Liu Guangtian, went out with bruises and swelling on their faces and saw Xu Damao squatting on the ground drawing circles with a twig.

"Hey, you two got beaten up again."

Xu Damao, always eager for drama, sneered at the two of them, "Is it because of Sha Zhu?"

Liu Guangqi remained silent, while Liu Guangtian glared angrily at Xu Damao: "Xu Damao, no one will think you're mute if you don't speak. Try being sarcastic again!"

We two brothers can't beat He Yuzhu, but we can't beat you?

Xu Damao knew he was no match for the Liu brothers, Liu Guangqi and Liu Guangtian. Though inwardly fearful, he remained defiant: "What? What? Let me tell you, I've taken a wrestling master as my leader. If you dare lay a hand on me, believe me, I'll call him over and he'll take you all down!"

Those who wrestle are all experts... but there are also hooligans!

Liu Guangqi and Liu Guangtian didn't believe that the other person would know them.

But the words had been spoken, and although they didn't believe it, they were somewhat timid.

When Xu Damao saw that he had scared the two brothers by mentioning his elder brother, he immediately became beaming with joy.

He didn't know any big brother. He was just someone who was afraid to go home after being beaten up by He Yuzhu last time. He wandered the streets and ran into some street thugs. After asking around, he found out that the guy used to practice wrestling under the overpass.

I don't know how skilled he is, but he's very impressive.

Xu Damao immediately hatched a wicked plan. He saved up some money, bought two packs of Daqianmen cigarettes, and asked some thugs to help him deal with He Yuzhu.

What does He Yuzhu have to offer?

Can you beat a wrestler?

The other party wasn't particularly capable, otherwise they wouldn't have been bribed with two packs of Daqianmen cigarettes.

Xu Damao looked at the silent Liu Guangqi and Liu Guangtian and said smugly, "We got beaten up because of Sha Zhu, so it's only right that we unite to deal with him. To be honest, I've already told my brother that he'll be coming over soon to teach Sha Zhu a lesson!"

The two Liu brothers were quite tempted after hearing this. Liu Guangtian was usually loud and boisterous, but he really didn't know what to do when something happened, so he looked at Liu Guangqi.

Liu Guangqi asked, "How do we deal with it?"

"Simple, just call my older brother! After he takes down that idiot Zhu, the three of us will swarm him and give that son of a bitch a good beating!"

After Xu Damao finished speaking, he looked at Liu Guangqi and his brother: "However, from now on we're in the same boat... oops, I mean we're on the same side. If we run into Sha Zhu again, we can team up, no problem, right?"

"no problem!"

Liu Guangqi and Liu Guangtian immediately agreed.

Xu Damao then said, "We'll deal with Sha Zhu together. My older brother is my older brother, but he's not your older brother. When my older brother comes to beat up Sha Zhu later, you two have to buy him two packs of Hademen cigarettes."

"Why should I?"

"Just because he's my older brother! What? You disagree?"

"..."

Liu Guangqi and Liu Guangtian immediately backed down.

It's just two packs of Hademen cigarettes. At worst, they can ask their families for money for food instead of paying. If they buy Hademen cigarettes, they can still go out and buy some food.

After agreeing on their plans, the three of them squatted down and drew circles on the ground. They dared not go home now; Liu Guangqi and Liu Guangtian were afraid of being beaten by Liu Haizhong, and Xu Damao was afraid of being beaten by He Yuzhu.

……

He Yuzhu was unaware of their thoughts; he was currently in contact with people from Weibao Bookstore.

As a wealthy man, Lou Bancheng would not simply renovate one house as a donation; that would be too humiliating for him.

Get the stationery supplies ready, including pens, ink, paper, and inkstones!

Anyway, the steel mill will need to buy paper and pens, so we can get reimbursed at the factory.

Wei Bao Bookstore came to deliver chalk and also to tell He Yuzhu that he could buy stationery from Wei Bao Bookstore in the future, or he could call them and they would have someone deliver it to him.

He Yuzhu may not be much, but since Lou Bancheng made the call, they would naturally treat He Yuzhu as a major customer.

After learning that the shop assistant was a distant relative of the owner of Baoshu Bookstore, He Yuzhu waved his hand and said, "Give me fifty catties of old newspapers first!"

Ok?

The staff at Weibao Bookstore were completely bewildered when they heard this.

Our bookstore sells stationery, not old newspapers.

He Yuzhu didn't explain to the other party: "If you don't understand, then pass the message on to your boss."

"Yes."

The waiter turned and left without asking a single question.

As dusk approached, He Yuzhu was helping Tian Zao calculate the day's harvest. A manager from Baoshu Bureau, along with Li Kaikai's assistant from the morning, brought old newspapers to the courtyard, which looked to weigh over a hundred pounds.

Upon seeing He Yuzhu, the other party greeted him warmly: "Mr. He, my name is Qiu Dawei, the manager of Baoshu Bookstore. I have brought you the old newspapers you requested."

"Thanks."

He Yuzhu saw the old newspapers and said with a smile, "There are too many."

"It's not much, just a small gift for you, Mr. He. We'll be sending some every month from now on. Mr. He, are you going to use these old newspapers to practice calligraphy?"

Seeing He Yuzhu nod, Qiu Dawei revealed his true purpose: "Mr. He, Weibao Bookstore doesn't sell old newspapers, so we can't reimburse Mr. Lou for this. The bookstore has special calligraphy paper for practicing calligraphy; would you be willing to purchase some?"

He Yuzhu did not answer the other party's question, but looked at him with a smile: "It seems that Manager Qiu did not understand what I meant."

"No, no, no, I understand, I understand."

Qiu Dawei immediately chased the waiter out, glanced at Tian Zao behind He Yuzhu with a wandering look in his eyes, and He Yuzhu waved his hand: "No need, she's my sister Zao!"

Tian Zao: I'm your older sister!

Manager Qiu then smiled and took a bag out of his pocket, handing it to He Yuzhu: "Mr. Qiu, this is the money from the bookstore for the toilet paper you bought."

He Yuzhu glanced at the corner of the bag that was sticking out.

Wow... US dollars!

Is Weibao Bookstore really that rich?

Qiu Dawei said with a smile, "Mr. He is considering Mr. Lou's needs and only buys the cheapest white paper. However, the white paper from Baoshu Bookstore is transported from Heping County, so it is more expensive."

Newspaper, also known as "newsprint," is the paper used by newspaper printing houses. It is made from wood chips and is relatively inexpensive. However, the high price is due to Baoshu Bookstore and has nothing to do with He Yuzhu.

Weibao Bookstore doesn't print newspapers; they're a high-end stationery store, so of course they can't use the same paper as newspapers.

With your immense wealth, Lou Bancheng, you can't possibly use the same newspaper as tabloids, can you?

He Yuzhu and Qiu Dawei agreed to first deliver a batch of white paper newspapers, as well as books from elementary to middle and high school levels that Lou Bancheng requested.

He Yuzhu said that they would first order the book and then let Lou Bancheng get reimbursed.

I didn't buy many, only twenty sets.

Moreover, it was a second-hand purchase, and as for how the price of a second-hand item was calculated, that was a matter for Weibao Bookstore.

As for the extra money... it will be split 70/30.

He Yuzhu owns 70%, while Baoshuju owns 30%.

Those hundred-plus pounds of old paper... of course, are priced according to the price of white paper.

Weibao Bookstore will naturally keep the accounts; He Yuzhu only needs to distribute the money.
