Siheyuan: I am reborn as a good person He Yuzhu

"Master Qi, just tell me directly, don't play tricks on me anymore." He Yuzhu urged.

Master Qi glanced at He Yuzhu, a hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes, but he finally said: "Xiao He, for some things, knowing too much is not necessarily a good thing. You just need to focus on your work now, and leave the rest to time."

Although there was a trace of dissatisfaction in his heart, he also knew that Master Qi was a cautious person and had his reasons for not wanting to reveal anything. He Yuzhu did not ask any more questions and quietly returned to his work to continue his busy work.

Master Qi's words left a deep impression on He Yuzhu. He couldn't help but start to reflect on why Master Qi had such feelings for Sijiu City? What unknown secrets were hidden in it?

Time passed quietly, and Master Qi's resignation letter was officially submitted. Although he was reluctant, He Yuzhu knew that this was an unchangeable fact. He silently prayed for Master Qi in his heart, hoping that everything would be well for him in the future.

When Master Qi left that day, the sky was gray, as if it felt sorry for him. He Yuzhu stood at the factory gate, staring at the receding figure, his heart full of emotion. "Master, have a safe journey." He whispered softly.

Master Qi did not turn around, but he knew that He Yuzhu's words had reached his ears. He nodded slightly as a farewell, and then he blended into the crowd.

Standing there, looking at the direction where his master was going, He Yuzhu was full of questions. He believed that there must be a bigger mystery behind this waiting for him to uncover.

When Master Qi stepped into the small courtyard of He Yuzhu's house, he couldn't help but look around. Although the courtyard was not big, it was neat and orderly, exuding a simple and warm atmosphere. At the door, He Yuzhu's face was filled with doubts and expectations.

"Master Qi, you are here." He greeted respectfully.

Master Qi nodded, walked directly into the yard, and sat down at the stone table. After looking around, he said, "I came here because of Lou Bancheng's suggestion."

Hearing this, He Yuzhu was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized, "Oh, that's it." He responded. "Do you know Lou Bancheng?" Master Qi was slightly surprised and asked.

He Yuzhu smiled and shook his head: "I can't say I know him, I just heard some things."

Master Qi didn't ask any further questions. He took a sip of tea and spoke slowly, "Lou Bancheng asked me to come to you. He needs my help with something."

"I wonder what Mr. Lou wants me to do?" He Yuzhu's eyes showed a thoughtful look.

"I'm not sure about the details," Master Qi looked at him directly, "but he only said it was related to you. I think it must be inseparable from your craftsmanship."

He Yuzhu's heart was in turmoil after hearing this, but he remained calm, "My craftsmanship?"

Master Qi nodded as if to confirm. "Yes, that's your craftsmanship. Lou Bancheng is a connoisseur and is quite interested in your skills."

After a brief silence, He Yuzhu raised his head, his eyes firm and clear: "Master Qi, please rest assured, I will do my best."

Seeing his disciple's answer, Master Qi's eyes showed approval, "I am very pleased to hear you say that. Remember, don't get too close to the powerful, as that will bring a lot of trouble."

He Yuzhu suddenly became alert. Recalling the experience of the character in the play, he understood the weight of these words even more. He nodded solemnly: "I will remember your words. Thank you for your teachings, Master."

Master Qi smiled and said no more. He stood up and patted his apprentice on the shoulder. "Okay, I should go now. Remember what I said, don't get yourself involved in unnecessary trouble."

He Yuzhu sent Master Qi to the door and watched his back gradually disappear from his sight. At this moment, he felt a complex emotion in his heart, with both expectations for the future and worries about the unknown.

After returning to the house, he told his father He Daqing what Master Qi had said. He Daqing fell into deep thought after listening to it, and it took him a long time to break the silence.

"Dad, what do you think is Lou Bancheng's purpose in looking for me?" He Yuzhu couldn't help but ask.

He Daqing raised his head, a deep light flashed across his eyes: "I don't know for sure, but he may be trying to use your skills to achieve some purpose."

These words shocked He Yuzhu's heart. He remembered Master Qi's previous instructions and felt uneasy. So he asked again: "Dad, what should we do?"

He Daqing paused for a while, then slowly said, "I think we need to separate the family as soon as possible." He Yuzhu was stunned, his expression stunned: "Separate the family? Why do we have to do this?"

He Daqing sighed and explained, "I heard some news from the banquet recently, and it seems that the situation is not peaceful. I am worried that if I continue to get too close to Lou Bancheng, it may cause unnecessary trouble."

After listening to his father's words, He Yuzhu was thoughtful and understood that his father's concerns were not groundless. "Okay, Dad, I understand. When do we start to divide the family business?" He nodded.

"The sooner the better." He Daqing thought for a moment and replied, "I'll ask someone to help with this matter."

He Yuzhu agreed immediately. He understood that the decision to split the family was for the safety of his family. Although he was reluctant, he still firmly supported his father's idea.

In the following days, the He family was extremely busy. He Daqing asked several relatives and friends to help sort out the belongings and arrange for some of the things to be moved out. During this process, He Yuzhu and his sister also took the initiative to help. Although they were still young, they also knew that they needed to work together to overcome the difficulties.

Finally, one evening, everything was done. Looking at his family and friends who had been busy all day, He Daqing felt mixed emotions. He came to his son and patted him on the shoulder gently: "Yuzhu, you have grown up. You will be the one to support this family in the future."

Hearing his father's words, He Yuzhu took a deep breath, looked at his father firmly, and nodded solemnly: "Dad, don't worry."

Seeing the child's response, He Daqing nodded with satisfaction and left immediately. He knew that the family was now ready for the upcoming challenges, and no matter how things would change in the future, they would unite to meet every new challenge.

One night a few days later, He Yuzhu handed a document to his father, "Dad, what is Lou Bancheng's background? Why is he so low-key at the steel mill?"

He Daqing sighed lightly, lit a cigarette, and slowly explained: "The Lou family has always had many influential people in Sijiu City, and the reason why Lou Bancheng chose to keep a low profile in the factory is mainly to avoid unnecessary trouble."

"What kind of trouble?" He Yuzhu asked curiously.

He Daqing was silent for a moment before he spoke: "The Lou family has many businesses in the countryside, so...as for more details, you should ask your son-in-law, he is more familiar with the situation there."

He Yuzhu was a little surprised by this answer, but he still accepted the direction given by his father.

Lou Bancheng's style of doing things has caused dissatisfaction among some people. Although these people have their own means in mind, because Lou Bancheng symbolizes the direction of reform, they have not yet taken actual action against him. However, secretly, many of his actions have been restricted by them.

"Why did Lou Bancheng let his son-in-law do this?" He Yuzhu was confused and asked.

He Daqing shook his head and replied, "I don't know the specifics, but the Lou family has always had their own principles and judgment standards. Maybe they think it's worthwhile to do this."

He Yuzhu frowned and asked, "Dad, why don't you and Mom go back to Sijiu City? Is it because of this?"

He Daqing was silent for a moment and then said, "This matter has nothing to do with your mother. It is my personal decision. I am not going back to Sijiu City because I think this place is more suitable for me."

He Yuzhu stared at his father, as if he had discovered some elusive secrets in his eyes. He secretly made up his mind to uncover the mystery behind it.

The next day, He Yuzhu and He Daqing came to the street office to prepare to go through the separation procedures.

"Are you and your son really going to split up?" a middle-aged staff member asked in surprise.

He Daqing nodded and responded: "Yes, we have discussed it."

The staff member sighed and said, "Old He, you are the head of our family. We have lived in harmony for so many years. Why do you suddenly want to separate?"

He Daqing remained silent and did not give any further explanation. He Yuzhu, who was standing nearby, seemed a little anxious.

Seeing that the two were unwilling to talk, the staff member began to write the separation document. He Yuzhu looked at the staff member's actions and felt unhappy, thinking that he was deliberately showing off his writing skills.

After finishing writing, the staff member handed over the paper and said, "Mr. He, this document is written according to the old rules. If you think it's ok, you can sign it."

He Daqing read it carefully, nodded and said, "No problem." He Yuzhu quickly glanced at the content and found that the terms were actually clear and simple - just registering identity information, reasons for separation, and ownership of real estate and other necessary details. As for other property, it was up to the family to negotiate and resolve.

"Then let's sign it." He Daqing picked up the brush and prepared to write. Just as He Yuzhu picked up the brush, he couldn't help but ask: "Does this document have legal effect?"

The staff member smiled and said, "Don't worry. Although the traditional document itself has no binding force, it is effective under community conventions. If there are any problems in the future, it can also be used as evidence."

After hearing this, He Yuzhu put aside his doubts and signed his name on the document.

After completing the separation procedures, He Yuzhu still felt a little lost when he left the street office with the documents in his hand.

"Dad, are we really going to split up like this?" He Yuzhu asked softly.

He Daqing glanced at his son and said earnestly: "Sometimes there are things in life that are really hard to change. Even if we are reluctant, we still have to face it."
