Siheyuan: The happy life of a little chef

Finally, Sha Zhu looked at He Yushui.

"Yushui, let's ask Yi Zhonghai to return the money to us, and we will never have anything to do with each other again. Is that right?"

He Yushui hated Yi Zhonghai very much when she thought about the fatherly love she had not felt for more than ten years.

"No, it would be too easy for him to let him go like this, brother, you can't be soft-hearted."

Yi Zhonghai said hurriedly.

"The rain is all my fault. I am willing to pay for it."

He Yushui said angrily.

"Compensation? How are you going to compensate me? Can you compensate me for the fatherly love I lost?"

Yi Zhonghai was a little scared when he saw He Yushui who was somewhat out of control.

"Yushui, I will pay you double the compensation. With this money, you can finish your studies peacefully and save up a dowry for yourself. Please let me go this time, seeing that I am so old."

Sha Zhu was unable to comprehend what was going on for a moment and asked Yan Bugui.

"Uncle, can you please calculate how much this is?"

Yan Bugui was surprised for a moment and began to calculate.

"He Daqing sent a total of 1280 yuan, and Yi Zhonghai paid double the compensation, which means that in addition to the 1280 yuan, he will also give you another 2560 yuan."

Yi Zhonghai was also a little confused after hearing this. No, what I meant was that the total was 2560 yuan, so how come there was 1280 more? However, he didn't dare to say it out loud, as he was afraid of irritating He Yushui.

Yan Bugui looked at Yi Zhonghai with a smile and said, "If you don't explain clearly, and if you look down on me normally, I will kill you."

He Yushui didn't expect it to be so much money. If it was this much money, it would be enough to comfort her for all these years of missing him.

"Okay, but Yi Zhonghai needs to sign a document to prove that the money is compensation to me."

Yi Zhonghai felt nervous. He wanted to compensate the money to Sha Zhu and then trick the money out of Sha Zhu's hands later. If it fell into He Yushui's hands, he might never get it back in this lifetime.

Fortunately, Sha Zhu did not let him down.

"Yushui, what do you mean? This money is mine. I am the only male in the family. The money my father sent should be mine."

He Yushui slowly took out the certificate written by He Daqing and handed it to Yan Bugui.

"Uncle, please take a look and tell Sha Zhu."

Yan Bugui took it and took a look at it.

"This is a certificate written by He Daqing. The money sent over the years was for He Yushui's living expenses. Sha Zhu was an apprentice before He Daqing left. He Daqing gave Sha Zhu the job position in the steel mill, so Sha Zhu has no share of this money."

Sha Zhu refused to believe it and shook his head.

"Impossible, it must be fake, He Yushui, who are you trying to fool with this fake thing?"

Yan Bugui said.

"It can't be fake. It has He Daqing's signature and handprint on it."

Only then did Sha Zhu believe it.

"When did you go to see He Daqing? Why didn't you tell me?"

He Yushui said lightly.

"I went to look for it yesterday. What's the point of telling you? Now you don't even want to give me living expenses. I can only look for it myself."

Sha Zhu felt a little guilty after hearing this. He had almost run out of money because of Bang Geng during this period, so naturally he was unwilling to give money to He Yu Shui. He even wanted He Yu Shui to stop going to school, stay at home to take care of Bang Geng, and get married when she was old enough so that she could receive a dowry.

People below also started talking in a low voice.

"This silly pillar used to be very nice to rainwater, why is it like this now?"

"What else can it be? It's just because of raising a terrier. Are terriers so easy to raise? Don't forget about Jia Zhang."

"Don't you think Sha Zhu is stupid? He didn't raise his own sister, and it's ok for him to raise other people's children, but he even raised Jia Zhang. No wonder he is called Sha Zhu."

Jia Zhang quit.

"What do you know? Shazhu is respecting the old and loving the young. He respects me as an old man and loves Banggeng as a child. Shazhu is a good person. Stop talking nonsense."

Seeing that Sha Zhu didn't say anything, He Yushui took out another certificate.

"This is the transfer certificate for my father's house. He has transferred my house to me. I will go to Director Wang to handle the formalities tomorrow."

This idiot Zhu disagreed, saying that the room was to be given to Bang Geng.

"No, I said the male of the He family, the house is left to me, you will get married sooner or later."

He Yuyu smiled.

"It's not up to you to decide. Dad has already given me the house. By the way, your house is also under Dad's name, so neither of these two houses belongs to you."

Shazhu couldn't accept it and kept saying it was impossible.

Jia Zhang stood up.

"He Yushui, since ancient times, houses have been reserved for males in the family, and so has money. You are a money-loser and you want money and a house. It's impossible."

Everyone knows why Jia Zhang stood up, it was for Sha Zhu’s money and house.

When Li Jianjun saw Jia Zhang standing up, he also stood up.

"I say, Jia Zhang, this is the He family's brothers and sisters' business, what does it have to do with you? Besides, this is a new society, and you still want to use your old ideas to explain it? You have feudal ideas, what? Do you want to live in the countryside?"

As soon as Li Jianjun opened his mouth, Jia Zhang was afraid to speak and could only sit down.

Jianjun continued.

"Okay, stop wasting time. It's getting late. Yi Zhonghai should pay the money back immediately. As for the evidence He Yushui produced, Director Wang will make the final decision. Why are you worrying about it?"

Helpless, Sha Zhu could only give up and planned to talk it out with Director Wang tomorrow.

Yi Zhonghai took out some money from home, counted it and gave it to He Yushui, and wrote a receipt, at the end of which he stated that the He brothers and sisters were not allowed to sue Yi Zhonghai about this matter again.

Three copies were written in total, and even Sha Zhu, who did not receive any money, signed it.

After it was over, everyone went back home, but Yi Zhonghai's reputation was ruined.

Xu Damao asked when he got home.

"Jianjun, are you just going to let Yi Zhonghai go like this?"

Others also looked at Li Jianjun.

Li Jianjun smiled.

"How is that possible? There's more below. Don't worry."

Everyone mourned for Yi Zhonghai for three seconds. Why did you mess with Li Jianjun? This time, he will be skinned alive.

Late at night, He Yushui quietly came to Sha Zhu's door and knocked.

Sha Zhu hasn't slept yet. He has been thinking about what happened today. When he heard someone knocking on the door, he opened it anyway although he was confused.

Seeing that the person coming was He Yushui, he said unhappily.

"What are you here for?"

He Yushui didn't answer, but walked into the house and sat down.

Sha Zhu closed the door and walked in, sitting opposite He Yushui.

He Yushui took out a stack of money.

"Here is 1280 yuan for you. The other 2560 yuan is for my living expenses and future dowry. You should take care of yourself in the future."

Sha Zhu took the money and laughed instantly.

"That's what I said. How could your own sister do such a heartless thing? It seems you must have lied to them."

He Yushui took out another letter.

"This is the letter Dad sent you. Take a look for yourself."

Sha Zhu opened the letter and started reading.

I sighed after reading it.

"I understand. Go ahead and transfer the ownership tomorrow. I won't stop you."

The content of the letter was roughly: the house will be shared by two people, each with a room. If Sha Zhu disagrees, he might lose the room he lives in in the future. The money is sent to He Yushui, and Sha Zhu cannot snatch it. When he gets old, he might have to rely on He Yushui for support. This can be considered as leaving a way out for Sha Zhu.

He Yushui looked at Sha Zhu who was sighing, and his tone softened a little.

"Brother, if you trust me, just listen to me. Hide the money and don't tell anyone. Don't let Bang Geng and Jia Zhang know about it, and don't let them find it, or you won't have a penny. I'm your sister and I won't hurt you. Just take a good rest."

After He Yushui left, Sha Zhu tossed and turned in bed, thinking of the letter He Daqing wrote to him. He should indeed leave a way out, not just for He Daqing, but also for himself. He decided not to tell anyone about the money, including Bang Geng.

Easy home.

Yi Zhonghai was lying on the bed. He was severely beaten by Sha Zhu and could not sleep due to the pain. He could not understand how He Yushui knew about this and how he got the receipt.

He began to recall every detail of the meeting, and recalled why Li Jianjun spoke for Yu Shui and understood. It must have been Li Jianjun who did it. He knew that I had framed him and wanted to take revenge on me.

Yi Zhonghai frowned. He didn’t know if Li Jianjun’s revenge was complete. What if there was more to come? How should he deal with it?

Everyone else in the courtyard was talking in low voices. First, they expressed contempt and disgust for Yi Zhonghai, and then they were envious of He Yushui for getting so much money today.

Jia Zhang was at home, her eyes welled up when she thought about so much money, but she had no choice but to find Sha Zhu tomorrow to see if there was any solution.
