Siheyuan: He Yuzhu since 1958

Chapter 306 Zhou Qiao takes his father back to City 49

He Yushui said, "Brother, that bastard Fan Yong has a wife and doesn't care about his parents anymore. Don't you know that when the wind started blowing, he published a statement in the newspaper to sever ties with my father-in-law and mother-in-law."

“What?!” He Yuzhu jumped up with his teeth bared, like a cat whose tail was stepped on. He said, “How could this bastard do such a thing?! The master and his mistress were so kind to him, but he is just taking advantage of them! Don’t let me run into that bastard. If I run into him, I’ll beat him up!”

He Yushui said: "Brother, our house is big enough for you to live in, so you don't have to worry."

He Yuzhu said, "Okay! Then leave the house there. You can come and live here when you need it."

He Yushui asked: "Brother, do you really not want this house anymore?!"

He Yuzhu asked back: "What?! Do you have a way to get rid of the house here?!"

He Yushui said: "Someone in our unit is short of housing. I can help ask."

He Yuzhu said, "Let's not talk about your east wing. My room alone is at least three thousand. I think it's better to forget it! I'd better keep the room closed to avoid trouble."

He Yushui asked: "Brother, how big is the house you bought this time?!"

He Yuzhu replied, "A three-story courtyard. Except that it's a little smaller than ours, everything else is similar."

He Yushui showed a surprised expression on his face and asked, "Brother, how much did you spend?!"

He Yuzhu replied: "Third uncle helped me, and I found a bargain. It only cost three thousand five hundred. And that also included the furniture."

He Yushui couldn't help but ask, "Is that idiot so generous?!"

He Yuzhu rolled his eyes at He Yushui and said, "It's not that others are generous. It's just that I, your brother, am lucky."

He Yuzhu and He Yushui were bickering while cooking. Soon the dishes were ready. A little after five o'clock in the afternoon, Zhou Qiao came with his girlfriend. As soon as he entered the door, Zhou Qiao introduced, "Brother, this is my girlfriend Yin Zhilong." Then he said, "Zhilong, this is my brother He Yuzhu, the one next to him is my sister He Yushui, and the other one is my brother-in-law Fan Yongting. The four children next to him are my brother's. The eldest is He Bing, the two daughters are He Lin and He Qing, and the other one is He Yong."

"Uncle!" He Bing and the four children shouted in unison. Zhou Qiao was embarrassed and his face turned red. Yin Zhilong was overjoyed and handed the things in his hand to He Yuzhu, saying, "This is a little gift from me."

He Yuzhu smiled and said, "Don't stand! Sit down!"

Zhou Qiao took the things from Yin Zhilong's hand and put them on the Luohan bed, then sat down next to Yin Zhilong. After everyone sat down, He Yuzhu asked directly, "Zhilong, do you know the situation at Zhou Qiao's home?!"

Yin Zhilong nodded and said, "I know! She told me."

He Yuzhu then asked: "Now that you know, are you still willing to marry her?!"

Yin Zhilong glanced at Zhou Qiao and answered decisively, "Yes!"

He Yuzhu continued to ask: "If something happens, aren't you afraid of being implicated?!"

Yin Zhilong replied, "I have gone through all that I should have gone through. If it weren't for my family's good luck, I might still be working somewhere! I might even be dead." Then Yin Zhilong changed the subject and said seriously, "Brother, I promise you that I will never treat Zhou Qiao unfairly in my life. I will never let her suffer any injustice."

He Yuzhu carefully looked at Yin Zhilong, nodded silently, and said, "You guys chat! I'll go cook!"

After He Yuzhu left, Yin Zhilong breathed a sigh of relief, secretly glanced towards the kitchen, and said, "Qiao'er, your brother's aura is so strong! He almost scared me to death."

He Yushui smiled and said, "My brother is really good at martial arts. A dozen people can't get close to him. If you want to bully Zhou Qiao in the future, you'd better think carefully."

After dinner, Yin Zhilong left. He Yushui and Fan Yongting also left. Only He Yuzhu, Zhou Qiao and the four children were left at home. After He Yuzhu sent the four children away, he took out an envelope and handed it to Zhou Qiao.

Zhou Qiao was slightly stunned and asked, "Brother Zhuzi, what's in this?!"

He Yuzhu replied: "This is the dowry I prepared for you. You and Yushui are both my sisters. As a brother, I can't favor one over the other, right?!"

Zhou Qiao shook his head and said, "I can't accept it! If it weren't for you and sister-in-law leaving me in Sijiu City, I don't know what would happen now! "

He Yuzhu said: "With your personality, what else can you do? In order to prove yourself, you took the initiative to go to the countryside. In the end, you married an old man in the countryside."

Zhou Qiao smiled and said, "Brother, it's not as scary as you said, right?!"

"Hmph!" He Yuzhu snorted and said, "You can still laugh?! Don't you know your temper?! Just keep the things I give you. Even if the man's parents are open-minded, people will still gossip about you if you don't have a dowry. Wait for your father's reply. You and your partner will take him to Sijiu City. Then, let the two families meet and finalize your marriage. If your father doesn't come, I'll let my third uncle come."

"Hey!" Zhou Qiao responded and obediently put away the things He Yuzhu gave her.

In a blink of an eye, half a month passed. Zhou Qiao received a reply letter from Zhou Zhiqian sent to her from Gaoyuan Province. Between the lines of the letter, Zhou Zhiqian expressed his guilt and love for his daughter. Although Zhou Zhiqian told Zhou Qiao not to look for him, Zhou Qiao still made up her mind to bring her father to Sijiucheng. Zhou Qiao discussed the departure time with Yin Zhilong, and He Yuzhu used his connections to issue them a letter of introduction and bought sleeper tickets for them. He also personally sent them to the train.

Days passed by, and He Yuzhu's life remained the same as before, without any changes. Except for occasionally taking time to visit his grandparents, master and mistress, He Yuzhu went back and forth between home and work every day. He Bing and his four children also studied very hard. More than 20 days passed in a blink of an eye. When He Yuzhu got home from get off work, he saw the door was open. He Yuzhu pushed his bicycle into the house. He saw a man sitting in the living room smoking. He Yuzhu looked at this man and couldn't help feeling sad, and couldn't help shouting: "Zheng Yaoxian!"

The man sitting on the chair smoking trembled unconsciously when he heard He Yuzhu's call. He turned his head to look at He Yuzhu and said, "You recognized the wrong person?!"

He Yuzhu parked his bike, closed the door, walked over to Zhou Zhigan and sat down. He took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, took out two cigarettes, handed one to Zhou Zhigan and said, "Let me introduce myself. My fourth uncle's real name is Lu Guotai, and his alias is Lu Hanqing."

"What?!" Although Zhou Zhiqian was mentally prepared, when He Yuzhu said the three words "Lu Hanqing", his face changed unconsciously.

He Yuzhu said: "Although my fourth uncle wanted to protect you back then. Similarly, you helped my fourth uncle collect the body and did not let it lie in the wilderness."

Zhou Zhiqian asked curiously: "How did you recognize me?!"

He Yuzhu replied, "Zhou Qiao and his wife went to look for you. They should be back soon. No one else has the key to my room except my family. Everyone else is either at work or studying at this time."

"Brother Zhuzi!" Before He Yuzhu could finish his words, Zhou Qiao walked out of the bathroom.

He Yuzhu looked at Zhou Qiao and said with a smile: "It must be hard to travel to the plateau. You have become darker and thinner! I will give you a good restorative diet later. I promise to give you back the weight you lost."
