On the other side, at the deaf old lady’s house.
"Old lady, tell me what we should do?" Uncle Yi Zhonghai looked at the sleepy old lady anxiously.
After He Yuzhu resolved the conflict with the Jia family, he immediately came to discuss with the old lady.
Because He Yuzhu's disrespect for him has seriously damaged his status and face. Since moving to the courtyard, the deaf old lady has been relying on the Yi family's assistance to live.
The relationship between Uncle Yi Zhonghai and the old lady is self-evident, and he has already seen that despite her age, the old lady is still very shrewd.
She always provided him with good advice when he was undecided. This time was no exception.
At this time, the deaf old lady turned her head to look at the uncle Yi Zhonghai and said slowly: "You care too much about your good reputation in the outside world."
Uncle Yi Zhonghai quickly explained: "Old lady, my opinion on reputation is not important. I just want to have a good reputation in our courtyard. Am I wrong in this?" He refuted the deaf old lady's words.
Seeing the uncle Yi Zhonghai like this, the deaf old lady said: "Forget it, considering your care for me over the years, I will tell you the truth. As for He Daqing, from today on, he will no longer appear in the courtyard."
This sentence puzzled Yi Zhonghai, an old man, and he asked, "Are you talking about He Daqing leaving the courtyard? Where did he go?"
The deaf old lady tapped the ground with her cane and said word by word: "He Daqing and his lover, Bai, moved to Baoding."
Upon hearing this, Uncle Yi Zhonghai was overjoyed as if he had found a treasure. He Daqing actually abandoned his family and eloped with the widow. It was really a godsend.
Uncle Yi Zhonghai had no doubt about the authenticity of the news, as he knew that the deaf old lady was always well-informed.
He had experienced this many times, so the one he was most worried about in our Siheyuan was He Daqing. Because at one time, He Daqing was a competitor for the title of the Great Master, and it was only by his many tricks that he finally won and became the Great Master of the Siheyuan.
Now that He Daqing is gone, Uncle Yi Zhonghai feels that he has easily captured He Yuzhu, the naive boy of the He family, and a little girl.
"Do you know what to do now?" The deaf old lady asked with a slight smile as she looked at the old man Yi Zhonghai who had a cunning smile on his face.
Uncle Yi Zhonghai nodded quickly: "I know, I know." After that, he found an excuse and went back to his room happily. He Yuzhu doesn't respect me? Humph, the best is yet to come, no hurry!
The next morning, in the courtyard, as the faint light from the sky filtered through the window, He Yuzhu woke up from his deep sleep.
Suddenly, an idea flashed through his mind, and he instantly came to the spring in his mind's consciousness space. He looked down and saw that, as expected, the spring was overflowing. The spring was still full of water, about three large buckets. This was enough for He Yuzhu now, so he exited the consciousness space and prepared to wash up and make breakfast.
Soon, the brother and sister had breakfast and went out. On the way, passing by the middle courtyard, He Yuzhu saw Qin Huairu squatting by the well in the middle courtyard washing clothes, her figure was exquisite, especially her plump chest, which was even more fascinating.
Qin Huairu also happened to catch a glimpse of the siblings. She pretended to wipe the non-existent sweat from her forehead and deliberately showed a more exaggerated gesture, saying hello to He Yuzhu: "Zhuzi, are you taking your sister to school?"
In his heart, He Yuzhu still wanted to stay away from Qin Huairu, who was as vicious as a snake at the moment.
He Yuzhu simply ignored Qin Huairu's efforts to shy away, and walked straight towards the door as if his feet were greased, leaving Qin Huairu standing there awkwardly, at a loss as to what to do.
She remembered that whenever He Yuzhu saw her, he would always blush like a little girl. What she liked to see most was the way she fascinated the men in the courtyard.
But now, when she tried to flirt and say hello, she was ignored by He Yuzhu. This made her mind a little confused and she even began to doubt her own charm.
After seeing He Yushui enter the school, He Yuzhu did not stop at all, but directly found a public phone to ask the boss of Fengzeyuan for an afternoon off, because he had more important and urgent things waiting for him to do.
His first step was to buy a hundred grain bags that could hold a hundred kilograms of goods (usually burlap bags or bags for fertilizers) and some ropes. Then, when no one was around, he quietly put these things into the consciousness space.
He spent a total of thirteen dollars, leaving him with only three hundred dollars after completing the transaction, out of a total of three hundred and thirteen dollars in savings.
Next, he looked for a house to rent and leased a courtyard house outside Zhengyangmen. Although it was in disrepair, it had a lot of space, which was more than enough for the temporary storage of soybeans.
This choice was made to conceal his identity and avoid others' suspicion of how a landless farmer could have a large amount of soybeans to sell overnight. This was extremely unwise in that era.
The monthly rent for this courtyard house was ten yuan, and He Yuzhu rented it for half a year without hesitation, paying a total of sixty yuan. The cash in his consciousness space had dropped to two hundred and forty yuan.
After finishing all the things, he locked the gate of the rented courtyard house, and his consciousness instantly entered the conscious space. He threw himself into the heavy work, concentrating on packing soybeans into snakeskin bags until one hundred bags were filled.
Seeing the soybeans rapidly withering and disappearing in the empty nursery field, He Yuzhu stared with wide eyes as he witnessed this wonderful phenomenon, marveling at the powerful dead branch recycling function of this farmland.
Then, with the help of a movement of his consciousness, bags of soybeans were moved out from the space of his consciousness and piled up in the rented courtyard house.
Looking at the room full of soybeans, he walked out of the rented courtyard happily.
At this moment, he has already prepared how to sell the soybeans.
"Excuse me, comrade, I want to see Stationmaster Liu of Guiliang Station," he walked directly into the Sijiucheng Grain Station and said to a busy employee.
When he heard that the person was looking for Station Master Liu, the staff member immediately asked, "What's your name? What can I do for Station Master Liu?"
He Yuzhu smiled and said, "Hello, I am He Yuzhu, the chef of Fengze Garden. I have something to talk to Station Master Liu about."
When the staff heard that it was someone from Fengzeyuan, they seemed to understand everything in an instant. Without asking for the specific reason, they just said wait a moment and went in to call Stationmaster Liu over.
He Yuzhu knew that perhaps the employees had some misunderstandings, but it was good enough that he could meet Stationmaster Liu.
Not long after, the slightly plump Stationmaster Liu came out with a smile on his face.
As soon as he saw Stationmaster Liu, he greeted him warmly: "Hello, Stationmaster Liu, I am He Yuzhu, the second chef of Fengzeyuan."
"We had a drink together before, and the three dishes you cooked were delicious!" Stationmaster Liu replied with a friendly smile, obviously remembering He Yuzhu.
"This time I came to see you because I need your help with something." Seeing that Stationmaster Liu still remembered him, He Yuzhu hurriedly told him the purpose of his trip.
"Oh? What kind of help do you need? I'll do my best to help if I can." Stationmaster Wu was a little unhappy with He Yuzhu's request for help, but he still responded in a mellow tone, which apparently meant that he would help if he could, but there was nothing he could do if he couldn't.
He didn't know what the relationship between He Yuzhu and his superiors was like. After all, he was just the director of the grain station. He didn't need to please He Yuzhu too much, he just had to deal with him.
He Yuzhu naturally understood what Stationmaster Liu was thinking, and he said directly: "I have a relative in the countryside who asked me to transport five tons of soybeans to the city for sale. But the relative hurried back to deal with something, so he asked me to sell this batch of soybeans. The soybeans are temporarily stored in a courtyard near Zhengyangmen. I know Stationmaster Liu is here, and I thought you might be able to lend me a hand and help me buy the soybeans from these collective farms."
After hearing what he said, Station Manager Liu realized that this was not a request for help, but an initiative to deliver the results. So he patted his chest and said, "He Yuzhu, I will definitely help you with this!"
