Courtyard House: He Yuzhu started in 1948

Tian Zhuang naturally knew He Yuzhu, so he put away his murderous aura and said calmly that it was a pity that He Yuzhu didn't practice wrestling, and that he should have He Yuzhu come to Tianqiao to practice wrestling with him in the future.

He Yuzhu: I'm afraid you'll drop me and kill me!

The overpass had become a forbidden zone for He Yuzhu in his heart.

No way! Absolutely not going!

I'd rather die than go!

The matter of Tian Zao calling him "brother" came to an end because of the appearance of the real "big brother," which disappointed He Yuzhu. If the real "big brother" had arrived a little later, the matter would probably have been settled.

Disappointed!

Back in the compound, I saw Yi Zhonghai taking Meihe and Jiaozi out to play. Ever since Yi Zhonghai adopted Jiaozi and then recognized Meihe as his godson, he suddenly had a goddaughter who knew how to take care of people. Yi Zhonghai seemed to be ten years younger, and he walked with a swagger.

"Pillar!"

"Brother Pillar!"

"Brother Pillar!"

Yi Zhonghai and his two sons greeted He Yuzhu, who responded with a smile. Upon learning that Yi Zhonghai was taking the two out for braised pork, he said to Yi Zhonghai, "Uncle Yi, you have two sons, you can't spoil them, you have to help them grow up to be successful."

"Haha, I'm handing these two kids over to you. Give them a good beating if they need it. If they don't amount to anything, that's your problem as their older brother."

Yi Zhonghai became a hands-off manager, stating that both the dumplings and the coal were He Yuzhu's younger brother's responsibility, and therefore He Yuzhu had to take charge.

He Yuzhu smiled but remained silent.

Although the Celestial Venerable of Morality had some moral flaws, those flaws have now been corrected, thanks to He Yuzhu. Yi Zhonghai, mindful of this favor, while taking care of the two children, would also occasionally deliver rice, noodles, or offal to He Daqing's family. The frequency was less than before, but the service was handled properly.

In the matter of adopting the child, Yi Zhonghai gave He Yuzhu both face and substance. Although his actions seemed a bit excessive, He Yuzhu was very satisfied with what he did and was willing to help him.

For Yi Zhonghai, his children are his very life.

He Yuzhu watched the father and son walk out of the alley, a slight smile playing on his lips.

Yi Zhonghai, your lifeline is in my hands!

When they arrived at the Intermediate Court, Jia Zhangshi and Chunxi, who had finished get off work, were working, while Wang Xiulan was taking care of He Yushui. Originally, Wang Xiulan was going to do it, but Chunxi refused no matter what, and kept kneeling down and kowtowing. Wang Xiulan really couldn't persuade her otherwise.

Chunxi is a hardworking girl. Although she has the reputation of selling herself to bury her father, she also has a shameful past of working in the Eight Great Hutongs. Fortunately, Chunxi is still a virgin, which reduces the amount of gossip.

Chunxi's arrival saved He Yuzhu a lot of trouble. Chunxi now washes his, He Daqing's, and He Yushui's clothes. Originally, He Yuzhu didn't want to, but Chunxi wouldn't listen and insisted on doing the work.

She knew that He Yuzhu had played a big role in her escape from the Eight Great Hutongs... This was what Tian Zao told her, so Chunxi was grateful to He Yuzhu from the bottom of her heart. Knowing that He Yuzhu was studying and teaching children to read, she wouldn't let He Yuzhu do any work.

He Yuzhu was happy to have some free time.

Madam Jia was very fond of the diligent Chunxi.

Chunxi is much older than Jia Dongxu... but being older means she can take care of people. If she were Dongxu's wife... well, she could be a concubine.

After all, his son is going to be a school principal in the future, and he can't let him marry a woman from the Eight Great Hutongs.

If you become a concubine, there won't be as many rumors and gossip.

He Yuzhu: You wish!

He Yuzhu went back inside to put the money down, then held He Yushui and played with her. Now that He Yushui can talk, she keeps calling "Brother, Brother" whenever she sees He Yuzhu.

He Daqing was now free, and originally wanted to start his own company or open a small restaurant, but He Yuzhu firmly stopped him.

If you keep doing this, you'll go from being a farmer to a businessman.

Helpless, He Daqing wanted to return to Fengzeyuan, but He Yuzhu stopped him and instead told him to take on more private jobs. After all, the family was well-fed and clothed and didn't need to worry about making a living. He just needed to take good care of the family.

Lou Bancheng also learned about He Daqing's sponsorship of the children, so he gave He Daqing the green light to use the truck. As long as it did not interfere with the factory's normal business, He Daqing could use it directly, and the factory would bear the necessary expenses.

Life is getting better and better, but it's not the best yet.

Now we'll see what happens in a year... no, eight or nine months.

When the world changes, everything will be the best!

……

As the weather gets warmer and it gets closer to the end of May, more and more students are taking leave from school because it's the busy farming season and they need to go home to work.

There's no such thing as a "McDonald's Day" break. You can ask for leave, but you still have to continue studying, which makes the work in the school kitchen much easier.

With fewer people eating, the portions aren't as large, so the kitchen doesn't need to prepare as much food.

The two hundred bags of grain stored were almost empty. Thanks to Zhang Tianyong's intervention, He Daqing had already paid for the grain and made a small profit.

The new wheat was about to be harvested, and early in the morning Zhang Tianyong sought out He Yuzhu to discuss buying flour. An excited Lü Qinghuan burst in: "Old Zhang, have you heard? The Battle of Yudong was a great victory, the Kuomintang rebelled... Is Zhuzi here too?"

Zhang Tianyong glared angrily at Lü Qinghuan. How could Lü Qinghuan be so agitated? Luckily, it was Zhu Zi here; if it were someone else…

He Yuzhu smiled slightly and looked at Lü Qinghuan: "Teacher, the provincial capital of Henan has been captured. Will our Beiping be captured soon too?"

"Um?"

Lü Qinghuang and Zhang Tianyong looked at He Yuzhu. Lü Qinghuang asked incredulously, "Yuzhu, do you really want to drive out the Kuomintang in Beiping?"

"certainly!"

He Yuzhu answered very firmly, "If it weren't for those thugs and traitors, our lives wouldn't be so difficult! Ordinary people would have a better life. I heard that the Eighth Route Army was the one that conquered Henan? The people of Beiping are all looking forward to a change of world order. I've disliked that flag hanging in our school for a long time."

"Ah, yes, yes, yes..."

Lu Qinghuan and Zhang Tianyong were surprised by He Yuzhu's progress. They exchanged a glance and both felt that the time was right.

Especially Lü Qinghuan, who had been planning to develop He Yuzhu from the beginning. Now that He Yuzhu has made his stance clear and unequivocal, they are willing to lend a hand to He Yuzhu on his path to progress.

After He Yuzhu left Zhang Tianyong's office, he had acquired a new identity.

"Although it's not yet in the preparatory stage, it's already a very solid step!"

He Yuzhu's steps became more and more determined!

Step by step!

Let's forge a bright future!

With this new identity, He Yuzhu is even busier, but what's more important to him is his studies. He'll study this year so that he can go to school next year when enrollment starts.

The only thing that gave He Yuzhu a headache was how to avenge Tian Zao.

Guns and grenades... they're not so easy to buy.

The Ghost Market... He Yuzhu wouldn't even go near it, and besides, he's just a kid in his teens, he'd only get ripped off if he went there.

Being scammed out of money isn't the problem; the real issue is if someone in the group is plotting to kill someone for money. That would be a real problem.

What should I do?

The image of Brother Tian Zao appeared in He Yuzhu's mind.

Perhaps he can.

He didn't seem like a wrestler at all; that look in his eyes... He Yuzhu would never forget it!
