Rebirth He Yuzhu stays away from troubles

"It's a bit unexpected that the first uncle Liu Haizhong's family and the second uncle Yan Fugui's family are getting married!"

"What's so surprising? Didn't you see that Liu Guangqi, the eldest son of the Liu family, went to the southwest to support national construction right after graduation? Liu Haizhong's spirit and energy have been much worse in the past two years. I think he just wants his children to be closer to him."

"I have raised my child with all my hard work, and I can't bear to let him go."

"What nonsense are you talking about? You are a newcomer to the courtyard, what do you know?"

"Liu Guangxiu was adopted. He was already 6 to 7 years old when he came to the Liu family."

"I won't argue with you. After so many years of raising me, there must be some affection!"

"I agree with you. Otherwise, how can I marry into the Yan family nearby?"

"What happened to Second Master Yan Fugui's family?"

"What the hell are you asking? It turns out you are also a new resident arranged by the Red Star Steel Mill! It's so tiring to chat with you."

"Auntie, these are some dried sweet potatoes that I brought back from my hometown. I'll grab some for you. Please tell us about it..."

"Look at your gossiping skills. As an aunt, I can't keep you guys in suspense. I have to go home and drink some water first."

"This old Yan family! Although Yan Fugui is an elementary school teacher and earns 27.5 yuan a month, but..."

"Ma'am, what is it?"

"Here are the dried sweet potatoes. Eat them."

"But besides the 27.5 yuan from him, Yan Jiefang, the second uncle, only makes some temporary work. How do you think they survive this month?"

"How are you doing?"

"Think about it, Liu Guangxiu married into the Yan family, how many people are there in their family?"

"27.5 yuan is enough to feed a family of six, which is lower than the poverty line of 6 yuan on average."

"Yeah! These days are not easy!"

"Is Liu Guangxiu old enough to get married? I heard he's only 17 this year."

"My grandma gave birth to my dad when she was 15, so she's not young anymore."

"This Liu Guangxiu is really big, with this big white bun and this butt..."

"Bah, that little rascal is talking nonsense."

"These days, can a girl find a good family after she turns 20?"

"You ignorant boys, if you don't believe me, go home and ask your mom or grandma."

"I'm not worried. My family has arranged a marriage for my children."

"You can stay away from me. You arranged a marriage for yourself and you say that the other person got married early. Are you a human being?"

"I heard that after Yan Jiefang gets married, he will go to work in the kitchen of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill!"

"After getting married, life won't be bad."

"Oh my god... I didn't expect that an old man like Liu Haizhong has so much power. He directly arranged a job for his son-in-law."

"It's so hard to find a job these days. Look at how many half-grown kids are hanging around on the streets in our courtyard."

"Shh~ It might be related to Director He of the Intermediate Court."

"What's the relationship?"

"Damn it, why are all the residents in this yard arranged by the Red Star Steel Mill? There's no point in chatting today~"

"Auntie, we can chat, we can chat... I have a handful of peanuts at home, I'll go get them for you."

"This Liu Guangxiu was born in the He family. When his mother died and his father ran away, Director He was only a teen-year-old child. Their father He Daqing gave Liu Guangxiu to the Liu family to raise."

"This is a bit wrong! Liu Guangxiu doesn't usually interact with the He family! Instead, she seems to be very close to the Jia family. If you don't know, you might think that Waibo Banggeng and Xiaodang are her nephews and nieces."

"That's true. When Liu Guangxiu met Liang Ladi, He Daxiang and He Dalin, he just pretended not to see them."

"If that's the case, I've never seen Liu Guangxiu go to the He family to help with the washing and cleaning. This doesn't seem like her sister!"

"Broken bones are connected with tendons. Director He is living a stable life now, so he might want to help his sister."

"Bah, it doesn't matter if you don't recognize such a sister, I don't care."

"Just wait and see. If it was really Director He who did it, there's an old saying that goes 'If you don't make a decision when you should, you'll suffer the consequences.'"

...

In this era of scarcity of entertainment, when people in the compound knew that Yan Jiefang and Liu Guangxiu were getting married, they were talking about it excitedly.

Some things are most likely to happen to someone with ulterior motives, and this has aroused the interest of Qin Huairu from the Jia family.

Qin Huairu was washing the Jia family's endless laundry by the pool in the middle courtyard, thinking: Why hasn't Liu Guangxiu come yet? I'm in the middle of this play, come quickly~ come quickly...

Because of the wedding banquet on Sunday, Liu Guangxiu has been running back and forth between Yan's house and Liu's house these days.

"Guangxiu, I heard that you got married?" Qin Huairu asked with concern.

"Sister Qin, yes! My dad should have notified every family in the compound." Liu Guangxiu replied a little shyly.

"How could the uncle marry you into the Yan family? The Yan family only has 27.5 yuan to support six people. How are you going to live in the future?" Qin Huairu seemed heartbroken and couldn't bear to see her relatives suffer.

Liu Guangxiu said proudly: "After Yan Jiefang and I get married, my brother will let him work in the kitchen of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill."

"I believe that as long as Yan Jiefang works hard and is promoted to a regular employee, his future life will be good."

Qin Huairu was in great sorrow, her tears flowing freely as if they were free. She just looked at Liu Guangxiu without saying a word.

Liu Guangxiu looked at her and thought to himself: Sister Qin is filial, virtuous, and thrifty, and his heart was broken with pain.

"Sister Qin, why are you crying? Tell me what's wrong." Liu Guangxiu said caringly.

"Your brother Dongxu only makes 27.5 yuan a month. The Jia family only has your brother Dongxu's city ration, and he has to support five people. Your nephew Banggeng, who loves you the most, has to go to the hospital from time to time. I was thinking of myself and looking at you, I am happy for you!"

Liu Guangxiu looked at Qin Huairu distressedly, thought for a while, and said: "Sister Qin, washing is your strong point, how about I help you ask."

Qin Huairu stopped crying immediately and looked at Liu Guangxiu in surprise. "It's hard to find a job nowadays. Guangxiu, you'd better not ask, so as not to hurt your brother and sister's feelings."

Liu Guangxiu confidently comforted her: "Sister Qin, don't worry about it. I will go find my brother when he gets off work."

Because Liu Guangxiu's marriage was settled and he no longer had to worry about it, He Yuzhu felt relieved.

When I got home from get off work, I saw my mother-in-law cooking dinner, Liang Ladi was teaching He Daxiang to recognize numbers, and He Dalin was playing with mud. He Yuzhu poured a pot of tea and sat beside him watching He Dalin playing with mud.

"Knock, knock, knock..." There was a knock on the door. He Yuzhu looked at them busy with their own things and went straight to open the door.

As soon as the door opened, Liu Guangxiu squeezed in and said directly to He Yuzhu: "Brother Zhu, I have something to ask you."

Seeing her like this, He Yuzhu thought it was something about her marriage, so he said without thinking, "Go ahead!"

Liu Guangxiu said casually: "Brother Zhu, arrange for Sister Qin to work in the kitchen of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, even as a temporary worker."

He Yuzhu was roaring and angry in his heart...his face instantly turned cold. He Yuzhu stared at her, looked her up and down several times, and said coldly: "I'm sorry, there is no sister named Qin in my He family."

"You should go home and ask Liu Haizhong and Yan Fugui whether the Red Star Steel Mill is owned by the Liu family or the Yan family."

"I'm just a poor cook at the Red Star Steel Mill. You can't talk to me about this."

After He Yuzhu finished speaking, he pushed her out the door and suggested, "In the future, you can consider asking Yan Jiefang to help your sister Qin more!"
