Siheyuan: Pioneer in anti-corruption, fighting against evil!

"Help me make a pot of bone soup, let's go!" He Yuzhu said as he walked towards the west wing.

Why did he bring He Yushui with him? The reason was simple: to avoid suspicion.

Qin Huairu blocked his door for two weeks in a row. Her home was in the middle courtyard, and his wife and children were standing at the main door. He didn't understand why she always did this.

Should we discuss this issue at home, in front of Wen Li? He Yuzhu was always cautious when facing Qin Huairu.

He had the worst assumptions about Qin Huairu. After all, her image in the TV series was too profound. How many years had she made Sha Zhu wait for her?

Once this woman gets ruthless, the man’s affairs no longer matter!

"Mrs. Jia!" He Yuzhu called out from outside the door.

"It's Zhuzi, come in quickly!" Qin Huairu responded from inside the house.

"No, I still have to prepare lunch!" He Yuzhu said, urging: "Let's hurry up!"

“Here they come!” Qin Huairu came out and saw He Yuzhu coming with He Yushui, and said, “Sorry to bother you, Yushui is here too.

"It's okay, this is simple. The time-consuming part is to simmer it slowly. You just need to watch the heat when the time comes.

"He Yuzhu didn't intend to meddle in other people's business, so he asked, "Where's Big Bone?"

"Here!" Qin Huairu walked to the side and picked up a net bag filled with big bones.

“Okay, find me a big basin.

"He Yuzhu took it over and started to process it. He worked quickly and stewed the big bones in less than 20 minutes.

He turned on the fire and ordered, "Just keep stewing!"

“Turn to low heat in an hour, but you won’t be able to eat lunch until night.

He Yuzhu explained: “I came here after lunch to adjust the taste.

“You can decide what ingredients you want to add at home. These are all things you have tasted. Just wash and cut whatever you want to add. We will go back first.

"After saying that, He Yuzhu took He Yushui away, leaving Qin Huairu in shock. She then checked the fire and walked into the house.

Seeing this, Jia Zhang asked Qin Huairu, "Is it done?"

"It's not that easy, we have to stew it until the evening!" Qin Huairu shook her head and suggested: "Go and check the fire later, and wash and cut the potatoes, cabbage and vermicelli.

"What?" Jia Zhang said unhappily, "Didn't Silly Zhu finish it?"

Qin Huairu rolled her eyes and asked, "Why should he work for our family?"

“He went home to make lunch.

"Mrs. Jia Zhang complained," He's a chef, but he can't even do such a small thing. He just revolves around his wife all day long. He's really useless.

"Stop talking, it will be bad for the child if this gets out.

"Qin Huairu interrupted quickly, "Do you want to ask for help in the future?"

Jia Zhang muttered, got off the kang with her fat body, put on her shoes and went out.

When they got home, He Yuzhu poured a cup of tea, and Wen Li asked, "Is it ready?"

"It's stewing!" He Yuzhu replied, "Come over after lunch to adjust the taste.

"Then why did you take me there?" He Yushui asked in confusion, "It's so cold, I can't help you.

"Are you stupid?" He Yuzhu glared at her. "I took you there to avoid suspicion. Don't you know that?"

“You are still a college student, you don’t even understand the ways of the world.

By the way, after we move back, if the Jia family comes to borrow something, you can borrow it the first time, but not the second time, do you understand?"

"Including you, Wenli!"

"Ah?" Wen Li and He Yushui were both confused.

Then, He Yuzhu explained: "The two widows of the Jia family are not easy to deal with. Qin Huairu blocked my door last week and came again today.

"Our two families live so close, can't I say it in front of you?"

“So, you have to be careful next time. That woman is too shrewd. Next time she comes to see me, whether you are there or not, you have to leave.

Wen Li frowned, obviously not understanding: "The relationships among the people in your courtyard are really complicated.

"You just lack practice, this is a good opportunity for you to hone your skills.

"He Yuzhu smiled," Besides, we stay at your house most of the time and only come back once a week on weekends.

"Let's move back when Wenxuan grows up!"

“But if we have another child, we might not be able to live here for long.

"Okay, I'll go cook!" He Yuzhu put down the teacup, stood up and walked towards the kitchen.

Wen Li looked at He Yuzhu who was walking out and said, "Yudian, take care of Wenxuan, I'll go help your brother.

He Yushui took Wenxuan blankly and watched his sister-in-law leave.

He Yuzhu was preparing to wash the pot when he saw Wen Li coming out and asked, "Why did you come out?"

"I'll accompany you!" Wen Li said with a smile, "To prevent other women from having feelings for you.

"Hey, you're pretty alert!" He Yuzhu laughed. He didn't expect his words today to have such an effect. "Okay, just accompany me.

Outside the west wing, Jia Zhang looked at this side from afar and began to mutter to herself again.

At this time, there was a noise from the backyard, and Lou Xiao'e and Xu Damao walked out side by side. Lou Xiao'e complained as she walked: "Why do I go to your house again? Your mother keeps nagging me when I go there.

"Isn't it because she wants to have a grandson?" Xu Damao looked impatient. Although they had been married for some time, there was no news of Lou Xiao'e being pregnant.

Xu Damao walked into the middle courtyard, looked in the direction of He Yuzhu's house, and saw a figure on the east side.

He quickly stopped Lou Xiao'e: "Okay, stop talking about this, don't let Zhuzi hear it.

" Lou Xiao'e quickened her pace angrily, and without saying hello to Jia Zhang, she walked straight to the front yard.

Xu Damao took another glance and saw He Yuzhu cutting vegetables and Wen Li chatting beside them. He was filled with envy and jealousy.

Now, it is not easy for Xu Damao to cause trouble to He Yuzhu because he hardly contacts them and rarely goes home.

However, Xu Damao rolled his eyes, thought of a plan, and then followed Lou Xiao'e away.

The days passed peacefully, but this was only for He Yuzhu's family.

Soon, nearby residents and people at the steel mill began to spread rumors that He Yuzhu was a son-in-law who married into the wife's family.

However, everyone was skeptical about this because He Yuzhu had a son named He Wenxuan, whose surname was He.

This is obviously not marrying into the wife's family. He Wenxuan is a child of the He family. If he is marrying into the wife's family, his surname should be Wen.

Besides, there were no elderly people in He Yuzhu's family who needed care, and his sister had been admitted to university, so he went to his mother-in-law's house mainly to take care of the children.

This statement is totally untenable.

Although the housewives in the alley are not well educated, they are well-informed about family matters.

They often get together to chat when they have nothing to do during the day.

Once any disturbance occurs in any family, nothing can be hidden from them.

So even though the rumor was spreading, no one believed it, but it still spread quietly.

It was another Sunday, He Yuzhu was returning home with his wife and children, and his uncle stopped them on their way: "Zhuzi, there have been rumors recently that you are a live-in son-in-law.

He Yuzhu was stunned after hearing this: "What does this have to do with anything?"

“Yes, although no one believes it, this rumor has always existed, and everyone is guessing who spread it first.

"Yan Bugui leaked the information naturally in order to gain benefits.

He Yuzhu generously gave ten eggs as a reward, and then said: "Ask Aunt San to help me find out who said it, and you will get the benefit.

"Okay, I'll let Third Aunt help you check it out!" Yan Bugui smiled and turned away, then quickly came back with a bowl and put the eggs in it.

After returning home and tidying up the house, He Yuzhu told Wen Li and He Yushui about this.

Wen Li looked at He Yuzhu in surprise: "Our son's last name is He, how could such a rumor spread?"

"I think this may be out of malicious intent, but no one will believe this statement. After all, this is an act that harms others and does not benefit oneself..." He Yuzhu suddenly thought, "It's Xu Damao!"

"If someone is so bored as to do something that hurts others and does not benefit himself, and the target is me, there will be no one else except him.

"But I haven't had any conflict with him recently!"

He Yuzhu frowned. He hadn't seen Xu Damao for a long time. He didn't understand why he suddenly spread such rumors? And it was so boring.

After all, no one would believe such a thing, because the children of a son-in-law would not take their father's surname. The person who spread the rumor was really stupid.

Is it just to disgust people?

He Yuzhu was not surprised by this. "If you say he is boring, Xu Damao does deserve it, but we always go home on Sundays and have never had an argument with him. Why would he suddenly wrongly accuse my brother?"

"Brother, do you want to beat him up?"

He Yuzhu shook his head and refused, "No need, wait until we have solid evidence, I still need to think about this matter.

"Okay, ignore him, Yushui, how are your studies?"

After discussing this topic, the family decided to ignore it and instead chat about their daily lives of the week.

...

Xu Damao's original idea was to spread rumors that He Yuzhu was a son-in-law who married into the wife's family, but he knew that this would be hard to believe.

But he didn't care. Even if it was of no benefit to him, as long as it could disgust He Yuzhu, it was enough. Xu Damao didn't care about the consequences at all.

This matter was put aside for the time being. The next morning, He Yuzhu sent the child to Wen's house and went to work.

Deputy Director Li came to him again and gave him a hundred yuan as usual, asking him to prepare a batch of ingredients.

This almost became a routine. After getting the money, He Yuzhu left the factory and called Deputy Director Li, asking his driver to pick up the ingredients.

Chicken, duck, fish, and even mutton, because He Yuzhu had not yet bought piglets, which had always been bothering him, but he had never been able to do so.

Due to the disaster, the pigeon market could not recover, and some people risked their lives to buy food, but most of them were arrested.

The situation has improved slightly this year, and He Yuzhu thought of the pigeon market again. It is actually very easy to find.

He Yuzhu plans to go for a walk.

The ingredients had been taken away and he had nothing to do, so he looked at the time and rode his bike out.

The pigeon market also exists during the day. People are very careful. They put the pigeons in baskets or cloth bags and squat in the alleys, silently, waiting for someone to pass by and ask.

Both parties were extremely cautious and never mentioned anything about buying and selling.

He Yuzhu was riding his bike through several alleys when he saw someone squatting there. He immediately got off the bike and wrapped the steel stamp on the back of the bike with a handkerchief. He was very familiar with such scenes.

You can tell at first glance that he is an expert!

He pushed the cart in and looked around. Those holding cloth bags were mostly filled with food, while baskets were easier to identify.

The baskets may contain chicken, duck meat or food ingredients, as well as some people wearing coats, wrapping themselves tightly.

Although it is unclear what these people are selling, they are most likely selling tickets.

He Yuzhu walked along, paying special attention to those carrying baskets.

It was all based on luck. He had been looking for it and didn't expect to find it today.

He saw a man with a basket covered with a cloth next to him.

However, the piglet's cry could not be covered up, and He Yuzhu's eyes lit up. After years of searching in vain, he actually met it here.

He pushed the car straight over and asked, "Brother, how did you change it?"

"Food coupons!" the other party answered directly.

"Let me see!" He Yuzhu said, taking out a stack of food coupons from his pocket, and the other person's eyes suddenly lit up.

Then, he lifted the curtain and found four piglets inside. They were obviously very small and should have been born not long ago. "Are they from the same litter?"

"That's right!" The man's eyes were always on the food coupons.

He Yuzhu immediately reported the number: "Sixty kilograms of food coupons!"

"Deal!" He didn't bargain. After all, the piglets were worthless and they didn't have meat yet, so it was obviously not appropriate to calculate by weight.

Sixty kilograms of food coupons means sixty kilograms of food, although they are all coarse grains.

He Yuzhu directly handed over the food coupons, then picked up the basket, put it on the back seat of the car, and pushed the cart away. The transaction between the two was quick and efficient.

After leaving the alley, He Yuzhu turned into another lane, put away the basket and hid it in the space, then rode away on his bike.

He shuttled through several alleys, and after making sure that no one was following him, he took off the handkerchief from the license plate and headed for the Wen family.

Finally he got the piglets, but there was only a female one, which was the leftovers from others. But this did not affect He Yuzhu.

His breeding method does not rely on science. As long as the piglets are fed with well water, they can grow quickly and then reproduce according to instructions without too many complicated steps.

The three male pigs did not require any special treatment. When they grew up, they were directly broken down into pork and stored in the storage space.

Deputy Factory Director Li has mentioned the pork issue several times because it has never happened before, but He Yuzhu has no choice because he is self-sufficient in ingredients rather than buying them from restaurants.

But the time is almost up, and Deputy Director Li will no longer have to buy ingredients from him. He has always paid for it out of his own pocket. Why? To avoid any connection with He Yuzhu. This person is very cautious.

But doesn’t he feel bad when spending money?

When there are extra supplies, he can purchase them again through logistics channels, which will make accounting easier.

……

Before returning to the Wen family, He Yuzhu took out a can of milk powder and a bottle. His son was almost one year old and it was time to wean him.

This milk powder was mainly supplemented by Wenli, otherwise he would not be able to provide so much.

After knocking on the door, Wen Li opened it, and He Yuzhu handed her a cloth bag directly: "Here you go!"
