Soul of the Siheyuan: Zhuzi, I can still give birth

"Zhu Zi, I'm sorry. Sister Qin's family really doesn't have much left. This house is owned by the government. I'm sorry. I apologize to you on behalf of my mother-in-law."

As she spoke, Qin Huairu bowed to He Yuzhu, which made He Yuzhu a little uncomfortable.

Where did that calculating and profit-driven widow Qin go?

He originally wanted to bankrupt the Jia family, but in the end they couldn't even keep their only house.

Qin Huairu actually came back and pulled Jia Zhang aside to tell her not to be so stubborn.

Qin Huairu took Jia Zhang back home.

"Zhang Xiaohua, I'm warning you, don't make trouble again. There's still no news about the two little ones. I'm almost dying of anxiety, and you're still stirring up trouble in the yard."

As she spoke, Jia Zhang was grabbed by Qin Huairu's collar.

"Do you really think I don't dare to kick you out? From now on, you have to pay an extra dollar for your food every month as a punishment."

Jia Zhang now has to pay three dollars every month to eat at home, which makes her very unhappy.

Now they have to pay one more dollar, how could Jia Zhang agree to this?

"Qin Huairu, I pay three dollars every month, and now I have to pay one more dollar. Do you think your meals are some kind of delicacies? You're dreaming. If I don't pay you, I don't have the money!"

Jia Zhang put her hands in front of her and yelled at Qin Huairu unreasonably.

"You don't have money? I've already reduced the price from five to three. Now you don't agree to pay one more dollar. Then you'd better go back to Nantai Commune!"

Qin Huairu was too lazy to say more to her. She rushed into the room and threw all of Jia Zhang's few clothes and daily necessities out of the house.

Then, Qin Huairu pushed Jia Zhang out of the house and tried to drive her out.

"My family doesn't want useless people. Since you have no money, get out now!"

Jia Zhang held on to the door frame tightly.

"Huai Ru... Huai Ru, I won't leave. If I leave... I won't be able to live. I can't live in the countryside... anymore. Please, I'll give you money, I... I'll give you money!"

Jia Zhang begged for mercy and asked Qin Huairu not to drive her away.

If she goes back to the countryside, she will starve to death.

However, the quarrel between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Jia family did not attract the attention of the neighbors in the yard, because their attention was focused on He Yuzhu and others.

Seeing Jia Zhang being taken away, the second uncle began to back off.

His second son just went to join the army, he is not never coming back.

Now I have a young son and two houses at home, so there is no need to confront Sha Zhu. I will probably be in trouble again this time.

The second uncle and the first uncle exchanged glances and were about to speak when they heard He Yuzhu say.

"Well, judging from your looks, you just want to embarrass my He family and say that my brother and I are unfilial."

At this time, Ran Qiuye had already walked out with a piece of paper.

He Yuzhu took the paper and waved it in front of everyone.

"You said that I kicked my own father out of the house and went to live with my third uncle. I have no rebuttal to that."

"My father, He Daqing, did stay at the Third Uncle's house last night, because...that room...!"

He Yuzhu spoke slowly, but his eyes were scanning everyone's faces.

Everyone looked at He Yuzhu curiously, wanting to know what he was going to say next.

However, the first and second uncles, who were in the possession of the Xu family's father and son, were standing close enough to clearly see the big words on the paper - house purchase contract.

Although I don't understand what the contract means, it should be a house purchase certificate or something like that.

In other words, the third uncle's house, or a certain house, was sold to the He family.

"That room... has been bought by me. My own father lives in the house I bought. What's the problem?"

After saying that, He Yuzhu stared at Xu Fugui and the others.

"It was a close call. I almost agreed, but I held back."

The old man sighed inwardly, he knew that this idiot Zhu would not leave any handle.

The second uncle also patted his chest, it was so close that he could lose even the house.

Xu Fugui's face was also pale.

I almost lost my son's house.

"So Zhuzi sold the house of Uncle Sanye. That's all right, Damao, let's go home!"

Xu Fugui took the opportunity to pull Xu Damao and run home, but was stopped by He Yuzhu.

He Daqing also stepped forward and stopped the first and second uncles.

"My two lords, it seems that our business is not over yet. Let me finish what I want to say."

Several people didn't dare to leave. The He family father and son were both good at fighting, especially Sha Zhu. When he talks to you about reason, you'd better listen carefully, otherwise, he also knows how to use fists.

Xu Damao has a deep understanding of this.

"Several of you just said that you are all our elders. As a junior, Yu Shui is about to get married. As elders, don't you want to express your gratitude?"

He Yuzhu spoke coldly to several people and touched his fist.

Xu Fugui and the others were all silent. With that fist as big as a casserole, even if Sha Zhu shouted "I'm going to beat ten of them", they wouldn't dare to have any doubt.

The flesh on Xu Fugui's face was twitching.

I have sworn feud with the He family, so how could I possibly give a share of the money to the He family's daughter?

The second uncle was unwilling to give it either.

Why should I give it? When my eldest son got married, didn’t the He family give anything either?

"Your family will marry...!"

Before Xu Fugui could finish his words, he was stopped by his son Xu Damao.

"Dad, give it to him. Sha Zhu is not easy to deal with now. Give it to him so that you won't suffer any loss!"

"But……."

Hearing his son say that he would just give money to settle the matter, Xu Fugui, although unwilling, still wanted to argue.

"Let's go back and talk about it after we're done!"

Xu Damao continued to persuade his father not to confront Sha Zhu.

However, no one knew how much money to give.

An old man spoke at this time.

"Zhu Zi, look, two years ago, when your aunt and I were still together, I gave you all the money your father sent me. Didn't I give you and Yu Shui your share of the money? It was several hundred yuan in total. You won't forget it, right?"

He Yuzhu nodded.

"How could I forget the money given by the first master? I still remember it. But when Yu Shui gets married, the first master must sit at the top. As for the other two...!"

As he spoke, He Yuzhu looked at the second uncle and Xu Fugui.

The second uncle Liu Haizhong knew about it when he heard that the first uncle had given several hundred yuan in share money.

But it’s impossible for me to give a few hundred dollars too!

Xu Fugui's face was also pale at this time. Did he have to pay several hundred yuan? Even if he sold himself, it would not be enough for a few hundred yuan.

"Zhu Zi... you know, Second Master is now a janitor, and his salary has been cut in half. He really doesn't have that much money."

When the second uncle saw the first uncle admit defeat, he quickly showed weakness as well.

"Then how much can you give? Remember, you are all elders."

He Yuzhu continued to shake his fist and said to the second uncle and Xu Fugui with a sneer.

"twenty?"

The second uncle held up two fingers. Twenty yuan for the share was already a huge sum of money.

He Yuzhu ignored him and just looked at him coldly.

"Three...thirty?"

Xu Fugui held up three fingers and asked in a low voice.

However, his words aroused the dissatisfaction of He Daqing who was standing beside him. He grabbed his collar and lifted him up.

Liu Haizhong on the side was terrified. This He Daqing was even more arrogant than Sha Zhu.

"Five... fifty, fifty should be fine!"

The second uncle quickly increased the amount to fifty yuan, which was the maximum amount he could take out.

"Yushui, why don't you come over and thank Second Uncle? You have to save a good seat for him on the wedding day!"

He Yuzhu said to He Yushui who was standing beside him.

He Yushui walked up to the second uncle with a smile, spread out his hands and said.

"Thank you, Uncle!"

Liu Haizhong had no choice but to grit his teeth and take out money from his pocket. He took out five ten-yuan bills and gave them to He Yushui.

He Daqing held Xu Fugui and said viciously.

"What do you say?"

Xu Fugui hurriedly kicked Xu Damao on the butt.

"Hurry up... give me the money!"

Xu Damao reluctantly began to search his pockets, muttering to himself.

Obviously, he was thinking, why should he pay the money himself.

After receiving the money, He Yuzhu said to several people.

"We're getting married the day after tomorrow on Yu Shui's wedding day. You guys have to get up early and it's best to go on an empty stomach. My sister is getting married, but I'm going to cook for her myself."

After He Yuzhu finished speaking, he made a gesture to invite them to leave.

Then, they went home cursing at each other.

Only then did Jia Zhang feel scared. She had saved dozens of dollars with great difficulty. If she had followed Xu Fugui and the others to confront the He family, she would have to pay compensation as well.

Two days later, He Yushui got married successfully.

Originally they had planned to keep a low profile, but Liu Zhiyuan's colleagues from the police station insisted on coming along to pick up the bride.

The so-called soldiers on the road saw that someone dared to get married in such a high-profile manner and wanted to stop it.

However, after seeing a group of police officers in white uniforms in the wedding crowd, they all obediently took a detour and left.

The first uncle, the second uncle, Xu Fugui and others followed the wedding crowd with their families, looking listless.

Fifty dollars for a meal, that's damn expensive.

The second uncle almost hated Xu Fugui to death.

The dowry brought by the He family also earned the Liu family enough face among relatives, friends, and neighbors.

Everyone praised Liu Zhiyuan for his ability to find a beautiful wife with a good family background.

The marriage of rainwater means that it is now 1966 and the big storm has been coming for half a year.

However, He Yuzhu, deputy director of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, has never recovered.

But He Yuzhu didn't care, since he wasn't short of money anyway.

However, he has stopped supplying materials from the black market, and he also wants to cut off supply to the steel mill.

Only by eliminating all variables can I and my family get through these difficult ten years.

He Daqing also returned to Emei Hotel to work.

Although Ran's father and mother did not go out to work, they had no problem writing articles for newspapers.

Once the supplies to the steel mill were cut off, the entire mill fell into chaos.

The factory with tens of thousands of employees did not have sufficient supply of materials, which made factory leaders like Li Huaide very anxious.

He hurriedly found He Yuzhu and went to his office.

He Yuzhu was in the kitchen instructing Feng Jianming how to cook when he was called to the office by Li Huaide.

As soon as He Yuzhu entered the office, Li Huaide immediately walked to the door with a smile to greet him.

"Zhu Zi, we haven't seen each other for a while. How have you been lately?"

"Come in and sit down. I'll make you some tea!"

Li Huaide hurriedly asked He Yuzhu to sit down, then stood up to make tea for him.

"Director Li, don't bother, I'm not thirsty!"

He Yuzhu's refusal did not stop Li Huaide from working on the goods in his hand, and soon a cup of hot tea was brought up.

"Zhu Zi, come and drink this tea. It just came from Fujian. This is good tea!"

Li Huaide happily placed the teacup in front of He Yuzhu.

Li Huaide also sat on the sofa opposite He Yuzhu.

"Zhu Zi, regarding the supply of materials to our factory, how come there is a reduction? It is not enough for our daily supply."

He Yuzhui finally realized that Li Huaide was looking for him today because of this matter.

Once the supply of materials is reduced, the kickbacks that Li Huaide receives will naturally be less, so he is so anxious.

"Director Li, I'm not very clear about what you're talking about. After all, I'm not the one sending you off. I haven't seen my friend for a long time."

"Besides, in this situation, my friend might be scared. If he gets caught, he will be labeled a capitalist-roader. That would be a loss!"

He Yuzhu lied without blinking.

"Um... I know about this. What I mean is, can you go find your friend and negotiate the price? Just ensure that our steel mill has a minimum supply. At most... at most you can give me a kickback. I... I... just need to take less."

Li Huaide also fought hard for his career.

It's not his fault.

If he couldn't even manage a steel mill, how could his father-in-law dare to promote him?

"This... this... isn't easy to handle. How about you write a disclaimer in the name of the chairman of the Revolutionary Committee of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill? I'll give it to my friend, and he won't have to worry about it."

"I think in this way, he might still be able to continue to supply materials to our factory."

He Yuzhu had to make all the necessary preparations. With Li Huaide, the director of the Revolutionary Committee, around, at least he wouldn't have to worry about any villain looking for trouble with him.

Li Huaide thought about it and thought, isn't it just delivering some supplies? What kind of trouble could it be? If there is really a trouble, he can ask his father-in-law to help. Wouldn't everything be solved then?

"Okay, no problem. As long as you can ask your friend to continue to supply us with supplies, everything will be fine."

"Actually, Zhuzi, I know you are angry!"

Li Huaide's words made He Yuzhu a little confused. Why should he be angry?

Seeing He Yuzhu's puzzled look, Li Huaide sighed and said.

"Zhu Zi, the reason why your position as deputy factory director has not been restored is actually related to your wife's family!"

"Your wife's family are all teachers, and they are returned overseas Chinese. This alone is a heinous crime that is irreparable!"

Li Huaide said to He Yuzhu in a low voice.

He Yuzhu was not surprised by this. When he chose to be with Ran Qiuye, he thought of this ending.

"I have applied to the higher-ups more than once to have you reinstated, but there is no way because of your background."

"So Zhuzi, don't blame me for not helping you. I really can't help you either!"

Li Huaide said to He Yuzhu with a slight sense of guilt, while He Yuzhu stood up and said indifferently.

"Nothing, actually I'm doing pretty well now. I'll go ask about the matter over there, but I don't know if it will work out."

Holding the golden medal of immunity from death issued by Li Huaide, He Yuzhu left the office.

But what happened next made the courtyard uneasy again.
