Rebirth He Yuzhu stays away from troubles

“There are times when people go against the will of heaven, but heaven will always leave them with a way out.” Days are like morning light, with new hope and opportunities every day.

Uncle Zhao's family, who lives in the back house in the front yard, is a family of a martyr. The subdistrict office saw that his two grandchildren were growing up, but they were still squeezed into one room with their grandparents. Recently, it happened that some old cadres were sent to the countryside in the nearby courtyards, and some houses were vacated. The subdistrict office arranged two south-facing houses for Uncle Zhao's family in another courtyard.

A few days after Uncle Zhao's family moved out, a new tenant moved into the back house in the front yard. Just as everyone in the courtyard was wondering who the new tenant was, He Yushui, who had just finished work, went back and forth a few times and moved the items in the deaf old lady's utility room.

The courtyard became lively after dinner, with aunties chatting and children chasing and playing... At this time, He Yushui and Li Youcai, a couple who had obtained their marriage certificate, visited each household in the courtyard to introduce themselves, and announced that they would hold a wedding banquet on Sunday and welcomed representatives from all families to attend.

Yan Fugui, who was also invited to the Yan family, was wondering, "Why didn't they follow the usual practice and ask him to notify each household and register and collect the gifts?" But then he thought, "Given the relationship between my eldest son and He Yushui, it is understandable that the couple avoided me."

Liu Haizhong, who was invited to the backyard, looked at the backs of He Yushui and his wife leaving, and directly pulled out his belt and beat Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu. Aunt Lu Fenglian kept persuading them: "He Yushui is an ungrateful person. He didn't even come to the house to discuss such a big matter as remarriage. He also took the initiative to hold a wedding banquet in the yard on Sunday and notified every family by himself. He is really ignorant..."

Perhaps it was what Auntie Lu Fenglian said that eased his anger; or perhaps it was the belt that calmed his anger. Liu Haizhong put away the belt and said seriously: "We have done our duty by raising her until she was 18. It's up to her to decide how to go in the future. She has already broken off the relationship and changed her name. We should not try to please her in the future..."

Brothers Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu listened to their parents' complaints and felt the pain in their bodies. They felt very bitter in their hearts and their resentment towards He Yushui deepened.

In the backyard, Liang Laigeng and Yu Li's home, Liang Laigeng had never heard "his brother-in-law mention his sister's remarriage", so although he was surprised, he still followed the rules of the courtyard and politely took out 2 cents as a gift and gave it to He Yushui and his wife, and told them that his wife Yu Li might have to go to the hospital to give birth on Sunday, so she would not attend their wedding.

The He family in the Central Courtyard, I don’t know if He Yushui was angry because He Yuzhu didn’t give her the He family’s house as a wedding house; or she felt bad that she didn’t discuss her remarriage with her brother, but in the end, she didn’t even bring her new husband Li Youcai to the He family’s house.

Instead, He Yushui enthusiastically introduced Jia Zhang, Qin Huairu, Banggeng, and Xiaodang to the Jia family, which made Li Youcai, who didn't know the details of the courtyard, mistakenly believe that Qin Huairu was a warm-hearted elder sister who had cared for and loved He Yushui since childhood, and that she and his wife were good friends! Before He Yushui and his wife left, He Yushui invited the entire Jia family to attend their banquet on Sunday.

Jia Zhang looked at He Yushui and his wife leaving, and couldn't help feeling proud. "It seems that He Yushui has admitted that she is the daughter of the old Jia family. The old Jia family will definitely be taken care of by her in the future..." Qin Huairu was in a state of confusion from the time He Yushui and his wife entered the Jia family until they left. She couldn't believe it was true. She thought to herself, "Is He Yushui amnesiac or stupid?"

As He Yushui and his wife returned to the house, the aunts and grandmas in the compound began to gossip about He Yushui's marriage in a whisper. Everyone was chatting and looking forward to the banquet on Sunday, hoping to improve their own meals at that time.

Time passes silently, like a meteor in the night sky, flashing by. On Sunday morning, He Yuzhu and his wife, who were resting at home, took their children to visit He Yuzhu's master Luo Jianrong's home after breakfast.

The back house in the front yard was bustling with activity today. Near noon, three eight-person tables were lined up in a row. Several enthusiastic aunts and grandmas in the yard were busy helping the chefs invited from outside, and the children were playing and frolicking around them.

The aroma of food emanating from the front yard called the representatives of each household in the courtyard to the front yard one after another. Everyone consciously sat at the second seat. As the bicycle bells rang, "Dingling, Dingling, Dingling...", the head of the security department, the head of the purchasing department, and the head of the logistics department of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill arrived at the banquet one after another. At this time, the entire wedding banquet reached its climax. Everyone who worked in the steel rolling mill in the courtyard envied "The He Yushui couple is so famous that they almost invited several heavyweight section chiefs from the steel rolling mill."

Li Youcai was able to go out of the countryside to join the army, and was assigned to the Sijiucheng Steel Rolling Mill after demobilization. He was not an ordinary person. Seeing the several section chiefs who came late, he immediately greeted them, gave them cigarettes, and asked them to sit at the main table.

The head of the purchasing department usually interacts with all kinds of people and is very smooth. As soon as he sat down, he looked at the people sitting at the main table: a short and fat old lady, a slightly pretty pregnant woman, and two children, a boy and a girl. He muttered in his heart, "Didn't Director He's sister say that she would have a wedding banquet today? Why didn't she come to see him?" He said congratulations to Li Youcai and He Yushui, and then changed the subject and asked jokingly, "Where is Director He? Why doesn't he come out to drink a few glasses of wine with us?"

Hearing this, Li Youcai's face instantly turned red. He didn't know how to answer. He turned to look at He Yushui. He felt bitter. He didn't know how He Yushui arranged it. He Yushui was also single. He said in a nonchalant tone: "I was sent away by the He family when I was 6 years old. The Director He you mentioned actually has nothing to do with me..."

The entire wedding banquet scene was suddenly filled with chills. Liu Haizhong and Yan Fugui, who knew some of the inside story, exchanged glances across the main table, meaning, "Look, the person involved, He Yushui, is not close to his own brother, but is close to the source of the trouble, the Jia family. We two old friends, why are we still arguing with each other? Let's reconcile..."

The section chiefs who came to the banquet were all very smart people who had eaten all kinds of good banquets. When they heard Li Youcai invite them, he said, "He is getting married to He Yuzhu's sister and invited them to the banquet." They were close to He Yuzhu and they had to show their respect and support him!

"A dumb person eating bitter herbs cannot express his pain in words." This is how the chief of the security department and the chief of the logistics department are described at this moment. When the back house in the front yard of the courtyard house at No. 95 Nanluoguxiang became vacant, the chief of the security department helped Li Youcai to submit an application based on their past friendship with He Yuzhu. The chief of the logistics department also made special arrangements for Li Youcai based on his friendship with He Yuzhu. But it turned out to be a misunderstanding!

Several section chiefs looked at the people at the main table and couldn't eat any more, so they found excuses to leave one after another with their own thoughts. The small incident didn't affect everyone's appetite. After all, it was difficult to get enough food these days. It was not easy to meet a neighbor who could hold a banquet, so who wouldn't eat to their heart's content?

To be able to survive the chaotic years, there was no one smart in the courtyard. After He Yushui's words at the wedding banquet, seeing He Yushui's confused appearance, those who understood couldn't help but think, "Is he not related to He Yuzhu? Can Liang Laigen introduce a job to you, He Yushui? His wife is still unemployed at home! Your brother is not He Yuzhu, and you are nothing." After returning home, many people secretly told their families what happened at the banquet, and then they took care of each other, "Try not to bother with this confused He Yushui in the future, and stay away from this new family..."

Li Youcai, who was sitting at the main table, looked at He Yushui warmly greeting the Jia family members with mixed feelings. He kept asking himself in his heart, "Has my plan to marry He Yushui failed..."
