Siheyuan: I am reborn as a good person He Yuzhu

Of course, he also understands that people's minds are often unpredictable, and there are always certain calculations and games, but he firmly believes that as long as he firmly adheres to his principles and bottom line and does not take the initiative to hurt or use others, he can avoid the risk of being framed.

Yi Zhonghai came over, patted him on the shoulder and said, "He Yuzhu, I heard that you want to buy a house? This is a good choice, but remember: the transaction must be fair and just, never let other people's families break up, and never use improper means."

He Yuzhu nodded heavily. He understood the meaning behind Yi Zhonghai's words - this was also the life principle he had always adhered to. He knew that in a society where everyone abided by the rules, everyone could live in harmony.

"Also, I've talked about this with your father. He's very optimistic about you and thinks you're a good material," Yi Zhonghai added.

He Yuzhu suddenly felt a warm feeling in his heart. He knew that Yi Zhonghai cared about him in this way, which made him feel a sense of home in the new era.

"Thank you, Uncle Yi. I will work harder." He replied sincerely.

Yi Zhonghai patted him on the shoulder again and left, while He Yuzhu stayed there, feeling deeply moved.

Although life in the courtyard is peaceful, it is not without complications and struggles, but this does not scare He Yuzhu. He firmly believes that with his upright and kind attitude, he can still stand firmly in this era. At the same time, he also misses his relatives, especially the deeds of his heroic grandfather who was a car soldier that his mother told him when he was young. Those memories make him more determined to look forward to the future, and he hopes to return to his own era one day to visit his beloved relatives.

At this moment, a neighbor passing by noticed He Yuzhu standing in the distance, lost in thought, and asked curiously, "Hey, Zhuzi, what are you daydreaming about?"

He Yuzhu suddenly reacted and responded with a smile: "It's nothing serious, I just remembered something..."

"Are you missing grandpa again?" a passerby said jokingly.

He Yuzhu nodded frankly: "Yeah, I really miss him. You know? My grandfather was an outstanding car soldier when he was young, and he was quite brave."

Hearing this, neighbor A showed envy in his eyes. He said with emotion: "It seems that your grandfather is really extraordinary! I also grew up in your grandfather's home, and he was very good to me. It's a pity that he has left us."

After a brief conversation, the two walked away. Looking at the gradually receding figure, He Yuzhu couldn't help but feel a surge of thoughts in his heart. No matter how time passes, no matter where he is, family and friendship are always the most precious treasures in his heart.

He Yuzhu sat in front of the worn-out table, holding the 553 old-fashioned pens tightly in his hands, his eyes revealing his expectations for the future. Although life in this era is hard, it is full of endless possibilities and hope. This is an era of great changes and opportunities, and anyone can change their destiny through their own efforts.

Suddenly, a loud "bang!" broke the silence of the night. He Yuzhu raised his head and looked through the window towards Yi Zhonghai's house. The lights there flickered and the figures moved frequently. Obviously something was happening.

"This cunning Yi Zhonghai is in big trouble this time." A sneer appeared on He Yuzhu's lips. He had a feeling that this incident would make the relationship between Yi Zhonghai and his wife even more tense and complicated.

At this moment, Li Yun leaned against the window and stared at the scene outside, feeling a mixture of emotions. She knew that Yi Zhonghai was actually innocent in this incident, but the evidence increased the risk of ruining his reputation. She took a deep breath and turned to look at He Daqing beside the bed.

"Brother Daqing, what do you think of this situation?" Li Yun asked.

He Daqing did not respond immediately, but took a long puff of his cigarette, with a fierce look in his eyes, "We can't let this go easily. Yi Zhonghai, this cunning old fox, must bear the consequences."

Li Yun frowned slightly, knowing that once He Daqing made up his mind, it would be difficult to shake him. "But it is not the right time to take direct action. He has a huge influence in society, and we need the best time."

He Daqing nodded in understanding. "You don't have to worry that I will act rashly. It's just that we can't just ignore this."

Li Yun looked at him, knowing in his heart that their fate had long been intertwined with Yi Zhonghai, and this dispute was inevitable.

On the other side, Yi Zhonghai sat at the table, his eyes revealing deep thoughts between cigarette butts. He realized that this crisis had completely exposed the secrets he had been hiding, and his relationship with Li Yun was also made public. He took a deep puff of cigarette, and his thoughts became heavier.

"Zhong Hai, what are you worried about?" Li Yun walked over and sat down gently.

Yi Zhonghai looked at her and sighed, "I'm thinking about how we should deal with it next. After all, we are completely exposed. We must be fully prepared."

Li Yun nodded in agreement. "We need to find a way to minimize the impact, but the current situation is not very favorable."

After a moment of silence, Yi Zhonghai looked up at Li Yun and said, "Maybe we should ask the old lady for help."

Li Yun frowned, "Do you think she's willing to help?"

A flash of determination flashed across his deep eyes, and Yi Zhonghai said slowly: "As long as you show enough sincerity, she will definitely lend a helping hand."

At the dinner table, the old lady was enjoying her food alone, while Yi Zhonghai and his wife sat next to her, waiting quietly with worried faces.

"Old lady, we have an important request." Yi Zhonghai broke the silence and spoke firmly.

The old lady raised her head slightly, looked at him and said nothing.

Seeing this, Li Yun knelt down in front of the old lady and pleaded earnestly, "Old lady, please help me. We know that you have a great influence in society. As long as you are willing to lend a hand, our problems can be solved."

The old lady's eyes stayed on Li Yun, with a hint of hesitation in her eyes. She knew that helping Yi Zhonghai and his wife would offend He Daqing, but what Li Yun said was not groundless. Yi Zhonghai and his wife really needed her help.

"How do you want me to help you?" the old lady finally spoke, with a cold tone in her voice.

When Yi Zhonghai heard the old lady's words, he was delighted and said hurriedly: "We are willing to recognize you as our godmother in exchange for your support."

This statement surprised the old lady. She had never thought that Yi Zhonghai would propose such a condition. "Are you sure?" the old lady asked.

Yi Zhonghai and Li Yun looked at each other and nodded firmly. "Yes, we are sure."

The old lady looked at the two of them, her mind turning. She knew that this crisis was very serious for Yi Zhonghai and his wife, and if they could recognize her as their godmother, she could legitimately help them, even though this would put her in opposition to He Daqing. But she believed that He Daqing was not invincible.

After thinking it over again and again, the old lady nodded slowly. "Okay, I promise you, but there is one condition."

Yi Zhonghai and Li Yun were delighted when they heard this and asked quickly, "What are the conditions?"

The old lady's eyes were firm, "You must promise not to be an enemy of He Daqing in the future."

Yi Zhonghai and Li Yun exchanged glances again, and then agreed in unison: "We promise."

Meanwhile, in an ordinary little house—

He Yuzhu was helping his nine-year-old sister He Yushui comb her messy braids when Liu Ping came over from the kitchen carrying a large bowl filled with hot braised pork.

When He Yushui came back from school, she was hungry, so Liu Ping asked her brother to look after her and hurried to cook. Seeing He Yuzhu fiddling with his little sister's hair, she felt warm and anxious.

"Silly brother, don't rush to untie it." Liu Ping came to his side and handed the bowl to He Yuzhu, saying that this was the braised pork that was added to the factory cafeteria today. His mother specially left it for him to enjoy and asked him to eat it while it was hot. Seeing the hot steam rising from the big bowl, He Yuzhu couldn't resist the temptation of food. He only drank two bowls of corn paste in the morning, and his stomach started to growl before lunch. He took the bowl and didn't refuse, and started to eat it.

Liu Ping looked at He Yuzhu wolfing down the food and a happy smile broke out on her face. The house was filled with a warm and peaceful atmosphere.

This silly brother gave people the impression that he was not very smart since he was a child, and the villagers always laughed at him and called him "Shazhu". However, Liu Ping knew that Shazhu was not stupid at all, and he was smarter than anyone else, but he never wanted to compete with others on trivial matters.

"Silly brother, take your time eating. I'm going to go wash Yu Shui's hair!"

Liu Ping went into the inner room. He Yuzhu was not slow to eat and finished the bowl of braised pork in just a few bites. After finishing the meal, he wiped his mouth, put the bowl on the table, and continued to help He Yushui untie her braids. He Yushui was very happy today because she finally got to see the silly brother call her "He Yushui's sister". Although the name still included her surname, it was much better than the "silly girl" in her auditory world.

"Yushui, why are you so happy? It's only natural for your silly brother to call you sister." Liu Ping scolded her daughter while washing her hair.

"Mom, I just like being called 'Yu Shui' like this, it feels so intimate." He Yu Shui pursed her lips and said, then with a pleading look in her eyes: "Silly Brother, can you just keep calling me 'Yu Shui' like this from now on?"

"Okay, I'll call you Sister Yushui from now on." Shazhu smiled and nodded. To be honest, He Yuzhu didn't care too much about how to call his sister. For him, as long as he could treat her as a family member, formalities were not a problem.

"Silly brother, you are so nice!" Suddenly, He Yushui hugged He Yuzhu's neck tightly and kissed him hard on the face. This made the usually honest man stunned, and he quickly pushed his sister away:

"Don't be silly. Although I am your brother, I am also a man. It is not appropriate to do this! Although we are siblings in name, we are not truly related by blood."
