Siheyuan, I became a commercial tycoon in the culinary world

One day, He Hua plucked up the courage to find He Yuzhu.

"Brother Zhuzi, I want to talk to you." There was a hint of shyness on Hehua's face.

He Yuzhu was a little surprised, but still responded politely: "Okay, tell me what you want to say."

He Hua bit her lip and said, "Brother Zhuzi, grandma has always wanted to bring us together. I know you may not be willing, but I just want to ask you, what do you think?"

He Yuzhu was slightly stunned, then scratched his head and said, "Sister Hehua, it's not that I don't want to, but I feel that living alone is also good now. Besides, marriage is not a trivial matter, and it can't be decided casually."

A trace of disappointment flashed across He Hua's eyes, but she still said stubbornly: "Brother Zhuzi, I know you are a good person, but you can't stay single forever. I won't force you, I just want you to know my feelings."

After saying that, Lotus turned and ran away.

He Yuzhu looked at her back, feeling somewhat complicated.

It would be a lie to say that he didn't want to get married, but he really didn't have any feelings for Lotus.

On the other side of the courtyard, Jia Dongxu's family was still living a tight life.

Although Banggeng recovered from his illness, he became much quieter after this lesson. Although Jia Zhang did not dare to let Banggeng steal things again, her resentment towards He Yuzhu did not diminish.

Qin Huairu looked at the situation at home and was filled with worry. She knew that if she wanted to change her family's situation, she had to find a way to earn more money.

So, she started looking for odd jobs with her big belly, going out early and coming back late every day, which was very hard.

Every time Qin Huairu saw He Yuzhu, she would reveal a sad smile. He Yuzhu would pretend not to see it. He was not the silly Zhu in the original book. He would not want to be a sucker.

So, He Yuzhu still went to the steel rolling mill to cook on time every day, and after get off work he took He Yushui out for a walk or rest at home.

He did not take Lotus's confession to heart and continued to live his free life.

The days go on like this, and the people in the courtyard move forward on their own life trajectories. No one knows what will happen in the future.

But just when He Yuzhu thought that life would continue to be peaceful, things with Lotus changed drastically.

This Sunday, the deaf grandmother suddenly walked to He Yuzhu's house with a cane and asked him, "Zhuzi, are you and Hehua dating?"

He Yuzhu was a little confused after hearing this: "No, what's the matter?"

He Yushui smiled and said, "Deaf Grandma, haven't I told you so many times! It's impossible for Brother Zhuzi and Sister Hehua to be together!"

The deaf grandmother said in a serious tone: "Nonsense, I'll ask Zhuzi!"

He Yuzhu felt very strange and frowned and said, "Deaf Grandma, why are you asking this?"

The deaf old lady sighed and said earnestly, "How can you be so irresponsible, child? I heard from Lotus Girl that you two have been together for a long time.

And she is sincere to you, you don't cherish such a good girl, and you don't grab her quickly, you are going to kill her!"

He Yuzhu was shocked and quickly explained: "Deaf Grandma, it's not what you think..."

"Okay, I don't care what happened between you two. Anyway, I'm telling you, if you keep wasting time like this, don't blame grandma for turning her back on you."

After saying that, the deaf grandma turned around and left with her crutches.

He Yuzhu looked at the deaf grandma's back, stunned. He couldn't understand why the deaf grandma was so angry.

Ever since Lotus confessed her love to him, they seldom met each other and could be considered just nodding acquaintances at best.

He Yushui was also puzzled as to why the deaf grandma left in such anger!

"Brother, deaf grandma, what's going on?"

He Yuzhu shook his head: "Not sure..."

He Yuzhu's mind kept lingering on what the deaf old lady had just said to him.

"I heard from Lotus Girl that you two have been together for a long time..."

"If you keep delaying like this, don't blame grandma for turning her back on you..."

I thought to myself, oh no, Hehua must have found a boyfriend outside and hid it from the deaf grandma, who then found out. Then she pushed the blame on me. Now I’ve become the scapegoat.

No, I can't take the blame.

He Yuzhu thought about it and felt that this matter could not be let go in such a muddled way. He had to find Hehua and explain things clearly. He could not take the blame for no reason.

When He Yuzhu was about to find He Hua to ask clearly, He Hua came over from the backyard.

"Sister Hehua, what's wrong with you..." He Yushui looked at Hehua with a hint of surprise and surprise.

He Yuzhu looked at Hehua with a serious look in his eyes, and said directly: "Hehua, the deaf grandmother said that you told her that we have been together for a long time. What is going on? I don't want to be wronged."

After saying that, he stared at Lotus closely, waiting for her answer.

After hearing what He Yuzhu said, the expression on Hehua's face suddenly became a little flustered.

Her eyes flickered, as if she didn't know how to respond.

Her hands were unconsciously twisted together, showing her inner tension and anxiety.

He Hua was silent for a moment, and finally mustered up the courage to speak: "Brother Zhuzi, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to let you take the blame.

I really did find someone, but it’s not you… and I don’t know how to tell my deaf grandma.”

He Yuzhu frowned and asked in confusion: "Why can't you tell the truth to the deaf grandma? Just tell her that you are not dating me, but you can find another suitable partner..."

He Hua bit her lip, her eyes slightly reddened: "Brother Zhuzi, you don't know, the deaf grandmother has always hoped that I could have a good home. She thinks you are a reliable person, so she has always wanted to bring us together. I was afraid that she would be disappointed, so... I lied."

He Yuzhu sighed helplessly: "Aren't you asking for trouble? Now the deaf grandma misunderstands me. How can I explain this to her when she is so angry..."

He Hua's face was filled with guilt: "Brother Zhuzi, I know I was wrong. I will go and explain it clearly to the deaf grandma."

He Yuzhu shook his head: "You should come with me to explain to the deaf grandmother, so as to avoid being scolded by her."

Lotus was stunned: "But, I don't know how to say it."

He Yuzhu sighed and said, "Just follow me, don't be afraid, I'm here!..."

Lotus nodded.

When He Yuzhu and He Hua arrived at the door of the deaf old lady's house, they heard the old lady mumbling to herself, "Are He Hua and Zhu Zi dating? If so, why doesn't Zhu Zi admit it?..."

He Yuzhu laughed when he heard the deaf grandma talking to herself. He didn't knock on the door and pushed it open directly. "Deaf grandma, I'm not dating Hehua. I'm coming over with Hehua to make it clear to you..."
