After some discussion, He Yushui's wedding date was set for three days later.

So Yu Li was busy during these three days. First, she asked someone to help make two new quilts, and then she accompanied He Yushui to buy a pair of watches and a ladies' bicycle.

At the gate of the courtyard, Yan Bugui learned in the morning that Yu Li and He Yushui did not go to work. He guessed that the two must have gone shopping.

Zhao Zhanfu saw Yan Bugui walking back and forth and couldn't help but go up to him and tease him.

"I said you're not tired, you've been walking around all day, do you think they have to share a portion of what they buy?"

"You just stood there and watched for a whole day, didn't you?"

"Besides, you don't understand the relationship between us. That day, Yu Shui's boyfriend came over, and I just helped lead the way, but he gave me a whole box of snacks!"

Zhao Zhanfu snorted with some jealousy: "Forget it, they just gave it to you because they had too much. That's called charity."

Yan Bugui, however, didn't take it seriously at all, and instead sneered back triumphantly.

"Old Zhao, do you know what you are doing now?"

"That's pure jealousy. You don't know the sour grapes until you get them."

"Hey, Lao Zhao, you don't know how delicious those dim sum are. Hey, you said the same thing to me. Why am I telling you this? Anyway, you won't have the chance to eat such delicious dim sum again."

Zhao Zhanfu rolled his eyes. "Humph, then you can be a door god here!"

But just as he finished speaking, he saw He Yuzhu and Yu Li pushing a bicycle and carrying some things walking towards him. While Yan Bugui was distracted, Zhao Zhanfu had already rushed over.

"The rain is back, come on, Uncle Zhao will help you get it."

Yu Li refused directly: "Don't bother Uncle Zhao, it's not a lot and we can just take it ourselves."

Zhao Zhanfu's expression froze, and Yan Bugui seized the opportunity and lifted the ladies' bicycle directly.

"You are all female comrades, how can you be asked to do the job of lifting the car? Let me help you carry the car in first."

He Yushui and Yu Li looked at each other, and then they exchanged glances with each other, and then walked into the yard together, while Zhao Zhanfu followed behind, scratching his head and adjusting the things in their hands from time to time.

After Yan Bugui lifted the car into the yard, he wiped the sweat off his face in a pretentious manner.

"It's no wonder that Zhuzi is very promising. This ladies' bicycle is really the only one in the yard. It looks really different. It's not only delicate but also very fashionable."

Yu Li said quickly, "Of course not. This pillar has already said that Yu Shui's marriage is a big deal. Even if we have to tighten our belts, we have to prepare beautiful things for Yu Shui."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Zhanfu hurriedly climbed up the pole.

"Of course not. Yu Shui is the only college student in our courtyard, so the wedding must be a grand one. By the way, He's wife, how many tables are you going to set up?"

He Yushui was about to say something to refute, but Yu Li quickly pulled her aside and said with a smile: "Uncle Zhao, you are joking. Zhuzi borrowed money to buy these things. If we hold a banquet again, will our family be able to survive?"

Zhao Zhanfu's face darkened when he heard this. "How can that be possible? You said you two didn't set up a table for your wedding, and Director Zhu Zisheng didn't set up a table either."

"Why is it that for such a big event like Yu Shui's wedding, don't you have to set up two tables at home?"

Yu Li sighed in embarrassment after hearing this: "You are right, but this situation is indeed a bit difficult."

"How about this, you are also an elder in the courtyard, so you definitely can't watch us youngsters get into trouble, right?"

Zhao Zhanfu didn't react for a moment.

"Yes, that's for sure. I'm not like some people who just sit there and do nothing."

Yan Bugui's face suddenly turned black, and then he heard Yu Li continue to say: "Then give me some money to prepare the banquet first, and we will pay you back when our family has money."

He Yushui couldn't help but almost burst out laughing, but Yan Bugui seized the opportunity to agree, "Yes, yes, yes, Lao Zhao, you proposed to hold the banquet, so you should pay for it."

Zhao Zhanfu: “…”

After being stunned for a moment, Zhao Zhanfu's face suddenly turned red with anxiety. This guy actually asked him for money. Didn't he know that he was the second stingiest person in this yard?

"Hey, why do you ask me for money when your family is marrying off a daughter-in-law?"

He Yushui interrupted and said, "What does my marriage have to do with you?"

"You, you, you are just~"

Yu Li's face suddenly turned cold. "What is it? Can you tell me what it is today?"

How could Zhao Zhanfu dare to curse aloud what he was thinking? If he dared to curse aloud, He Yuzhu would definitely demolish their house that night.

"I, I have a stomachache. You guys chat, I'm leaving first."

Then Zhao Zhanfu turned around and ran away, but Yan Bugui did not forget to add insult to injury.

"Old Zhao, why don't you take out the money first?"

But Zhao Zhanfu had already run out of the yard. After Yan Bugui finished mocking Zhao Zhanfu, he turned around and said politely to Li and the others, "He's daughter-in-law, it's right not to set up the table at this time."

"And the rain, congratulations on your marriage."

"Thank you, Uncle."

Yan Bugui rolled his eyes and nodded, then turned and left without hesitation.

He Yushui and Yu Li still felt a little strange after returning home.

"Sister-in-law, do you think this old Yan can be so kind?"

"You don't have to worry about this. He's most afraid of your brother anyway, and this old man must have his own plans. It's just that he didn't reveal his plans just now because he saw that we didn't give Zhao Zhanfu face."

"Alas, you said it's not easy to change houses now. If there is a chance, it's better to move out early."

"Of course not, but your brother has his own ideas, so you don't have to worry about it."

"By the way, I have to get married tomorrow. Have you packed everything?"

He Yushui said with some hesitation: "Sister-in-law, can I come back in the future?"

"Look at what you said. Your brother and I have already discussed it. Your room will be kept there for you. You can come back whenever you want. This will always be your home."

"Sister-in-law~"

After returning home, Yan Bugui was silent for a long time. He thought that He Yuzhu would definitely set up two tables, but given his personality, he would definitely not invite the neighbors in the yard.

Therefore, he must behave well and try to get He Yuzhu to treat him to a meal, so that his status in the courtyard will rise in the future.

So the next morning, Yan Bugui got up earlier than He Yuzhu. As soon as He Yuzhu went out, Yan Bugui was already waiting at their door.

"What are you doing?"

"Zhu Zi, is there anything I can help you with here?"

He Yuzhu looked at Yan Bugui in surprise, but he quickly reacted. As the saying goes, there is no gain without pain, but having someone to help with the chores on this happy day could save a lot of trouble.

"Actually, everything is almost ready. How about you help maintain order?"

"Okay, then I'll go clean the front yard and the alley entrance first."

"That's really troublesome."

"No, I am the boss after all, so I can't just ignore everything."

He Yuzhu smiled and thanked him: "Well, no matter how you say thank you, I have to set up a table at home tonight. Can you come over for a drink then?"

When Yan Bugui heard this, his eyes suddenly became firm, because the food in He Yuzhu's house had never been bad, not to mention that this was not an ordinary day, and he couldn't imagine how hard the food would be.

So he went back, took a broom and started cleaning the courtyard and the alley. He managed to clean the alley thoroughly by the time Lin Xiayu and the others came to pick up the bride. He even sprinkled some water in the yard to prevent dust from being raised by walking.

"Zhu Zi, do you think I'm doing a good job?"

"Hey, Uncle Er, look at what you're saying. Do you need me to watch you work? Okay, wait at home. We've finished our work at noon. Don't forget to come to our house for a drink in the evening."

He Yuzhu deliberately said this loudly in front of everyone in the yard. Qin Huairu and the others regretted it to the extreme. If they had known that such a good thing would happen, they would have simply gone to help.

Yan Bugui straightened his back and looked at his envious neighbors as if he had received a reward.

"Alright, Zhuzi, that's just a small matter. You can go and escort the bride first. I'll help you look after the family!"

He Yuzhu smiled and nodded, then turned around and went home to start working.
