Siheyuan: I am the Smart Pillar

After returning home, she found He Yushui was already at home. Touching her sister's head, He Yuzhu asked curiously, "Girl, have you eaten?" He Yushui shook her head and said, "No, I just finished my homework."

Qin Huairu thought for a while and said, "Then I'll go make a bowl of noodles for my sister." He Yuzhu nodded. He took out a few wild fruits from his bag and said, "These are gifts from your sister-in-law's family. They are wild pears from the mountains. I'll give you three. Try one first to fill your stomach, and then save some for the noodles your sister-in-law will cook for you."

He Yushui nodded, and quickly took a mountain pear from his brother's hand and took a big bite. The pears in the mountains do have a special flavor. He Yushui smiled and nodded and said, "Well, not bad, it's so sweet." He Yushui took a few more bites, thought for a while and said, "By the way, brother, the second uncle came here just now."

He Yuzhu asked curiously, "What is he doing here?" He Yushui shook his head and said, "I don't know. Seeing that you haven't come back, he said he would come over later." He Yuzhu nodded. He didn't care what Liu Haizhong was thinking. He poured some water from the thermos into the footbath to warm his feet.

The couple was really tired today, and He Yuzhu closed his eyes and dozed off. Suddenly, a pair of smooth hands rubbed his shoulders. He Yuzhu opened his eyes and saw that it was Qin Huairu rubbing his shoulders. Qin Huairu said gently, "You must be tired. You have worked hard today. Let me massage your shoulders to relieve your fatigue."

He Yuzhu nodded, and he closed his eyes and started enjoying it. Suddenly, the loud voice of Liu Haizhong shouted at the door, "Shazhu, Shazhu, are you back?" Hearing this, He Yuzhu frowned unhappily, and Qin Huairu said, "Why don't I go open the door and send him away."

He Yuzhu snorted coldly and said, "I want to see what Fatty Liu wants to do?" He Yuzhu walked over with a dark face and opened the door from the inside. Liu Haizhong looked at the door being knocked, and said angrily, "You are at home, why did you let me knock on the door for so long?"

Liu Haizhong wanted to go in, but was stopped by He Yuzhu. He Yuzhu said coldly, "What do you want at night? My husband and I are going to sleep soon. It's not good for you to go in now!" Liu Haizhong frowned and wanted to get angry. But thinking that he was asking for help, he suppressed his anger and said, "Zhuzi, isn't your brother Guangqi going to get married? Can you ask your master to come and cook?"

He Yuzhu refused without a second thought. His master was a master of Sichuan cuisine and no longer had to take jobs privately to make a living. He shook his head and said, "My master has retired a long time ago. Yesterday, he came to help me cook because I was his apprentice." He Yuzhu snorted in his heart. Just based on a word from Fatty Liu, he could let my master come to cook.

Liu Haizhong got anxious when he heard this. He stamped his feet and said, "I am the second uncle of this courtyard. Zhuzi, you have to help our Liu family with this?" Liu Haizhong boasted to his in-laws today that he could invite Sichuan cuisine master Mo Xiangtian to be the chef. If he couldn't invite him, wouldn't that be a slap in Liu Haizhong's face?

He Yuzhu didn't care about that. He crossed his arms and said, "My master has retired a long time ago. Many dignitaries and people of status have invited him, but my master is not willing to go." Liu Haizhong thought about it, forced a smile and said, "I have already promised the woman that Master Mo Xiangtian will come to cook. You see, you and your brother Guangqi grew up together. Can you think of a way? Please, master!"

Liu Haizhong took out five big Tuanjie notes from his pocket and said, "I'll give your master 50 yuan as a cooking fee, what do you think?" He Yuzhu shook his head and said, "Don't even mention 50 yuan, even if you give me 500 yuan, my master won't want to go if he doesn't want to go. If I go to beg for mercy, I'll get scolded myself."

He Yuzhu didn't want to bother with these trivial matters! He was tired now? He just wanted to have a good sleep now, because he had to go to work tomorrow? Liu Guangqi also came over from the backyard. He looked at He Yuzhu and said, "Brother, can you help me think of a solution? Master Mo is your master. If you go and ask for mercy, he will definitely agree."

He Yuzhu sneered in his heart. Liu Guangqi used to look down on people, but now that he needed help, he treated him like a brother. He Yuzhu waved his hand and said, "It's not that I don't want to help, but my master is really hard to hire. You can go out and ask around. How many businessmen who are officials want to hire my master, but my master always refuses them?"

Liu Guangqi's face suddenly darkened. Originally, his wife's family looked down on him. They thought that He Yuzhu's master, Mo Xiangtian, was a master of Sichuan cuisine, so they wanted to invite him to fill the table. Unexpectedly, He Yuzhu was so disrespectful, which made Liu Guangqi very angry. He clenched his fists and asked with red eyes, "Zhuzi, we are good friends who grew up together. Don't you really want to do me such a small favor?"

He Yuzhu smiled and said disdainfully, "There are so many people who grew up together, like Yan Jiecheng and Xu Damao in the yard, who are not friends who grew up together. I can't do anything about this matter. If you don't believe me, you can go to Meizha Hutong to ask my master for help." He Yuzhu knew very well that this topic should not be opened at all, otherwise, if anyone in the yard got married, it would come to trouble him.

Liu Guangqi snorted coldly, pulled Liu Haizhong and left. Before leaving, he said something cruel, "Humph, I don't believe that without you, the butcher, I, Liu Guangqi, can't invite the real Buddha." His eyes were about to spit fire. After all, he was a student who graduated from a technical secondary school and a reserve cadre in the future.

This He Yuzhu didn't even give me face, how could it be so unreasonable? Liu Guangqi already hated He Yuzhu in his heart, and he vowed to give He Yuzhu a revenge. He Yuzhu looked indifferent, the eldest son of the Liu family was a typical ungrateful person. Although Liu Haizhong and his wife had many shortcomings, they loved their eldest son very much.
