Chapter 4: Hurry Up and Introduce

He Yuzhu was still thinking about the system's words, while outside Yi Daye and the others stared intensely at San Daye, clearly wanting to know why.

"What are you looking at me for? I don't know anything." San Daye shook his head helplessly, "Jia Zhangshi, tell the whole story properly, let me see whose fault it really is."

"No need to ask, it's obviously Shazu's."

As soon as Jia Zhangshi spoke, San Daye recalled what He Yuzhu had said: whoever calls him Shazu again will get dealt with by him.

"Well, Zhuzi said from now on we're not allowed to call him Shazu." San Daye said quietly, "I also don't know exactly why."

Yi Daye waved his hand, these are small matters; He Yuzhu inheriting Old Man Wen's grocery shop is the big deal, and he also has to marry Character. If he succeeds, the courtyard house will be completely overturned.

Returning to Yi Daye's home, several people smoked with worried faces.

"Lao Yi, I think it's not that hard; Character, a junior, actually dares to turn against us." Second Elder took a sip of water, "This is basically not putting the leadership in their eyes."

"Where is there any leadership here?"

"We are the three elders of the courtyard, the highest authority in the Courtyard House; if she doesn't listen to us, we'll kick her out." Second Elder said indignantly.

"Kick her out? Let me put it this way: if you try force, you don't even need to think about it; Character has practiced wrestling since childhood, and is now an outstanding athlete on the municipal team—even Zhuzi was thrown down by a shoulder throw, so what are we?"

They knew He Yuzhu was formidable; looking at it this way, they really couldn't use force, or else they'd themselves get a beating and possibly end up with broken bones.

"I actually have an idea." San Daye's eyes darted around, and he quickly came up with a bad idea, "Let's quickly introduce a match for He Yuzhu and be done with it."

This idea was truly nasty; previously He Yuzhu had no love interest, and they were all indifferent, but seeing that He Yuzhu's marriage would be unfavorable to them, they hurriedly wanted to introduce a match. unintelligible characters.

"Actually there's another method: just spoil his grocery shop so it fails, then Character definitely won't marry him."

Yi Daye also didn't weigh the pros and cons, directly telling everyone to pursue both approaches, absolutely cannot let He Yuzhu marry Character. He will also go talk to He Yuzhu shortly.

We had almost persuaded them earlier, so why change our minds now?

After everyone went their separate ways, First Aunt came in with a frown, asking, "Isn't it a good thing for He Yuzhu to take a wife? Why is he insisting on ruining it?"

That's really damaging to one's hidden virtue.

"You don't know anything; I'm not opposed to He Yuzhu getting married, I just oppose him marrying Character." Yi Daye snorted, "Because Character won't let He Yuzhu support Qin Huairu."

"Why must he always support Qin Huairu? If nobody agrees, does that mean Zhuzi won't ever get married?" First Aunt stared at Yi Daye, "You're not trying to set Zhuzi up with Qin Huairu, are you?"

In Yi Daye's view, this is simply a perfect solution: he'll have someone to support him in old age and a cheap grandson. His future life will be secure, and when he's old, someone will support him and see him through to the end.

Character, however, has a violent temper—she'll never wait on anyone.

Although their idea sounded good, there was a mistake in execution—for example, the penny-pinching San Daye still wanted to get some benefits from He Yuzhu.

With white flour and meat, He Yuzhu planned to eat something nice.

So early in the morning, He Yuzhu didn't mind the trouble; at home he carefully chopped some meat filling, intending to make himself a bowl of fragrant, delicious big-filled wonton.

Although there were no scallions or cilantro at home, this simple bowl of wonton emitted an unparalleled aroma; a light sniff made his appetite open wide.

He Yuzhu was just about to start eating when San Daye showed up uninvited.

"Yo, eating wonton first thing in the morning." San Daye sniffed carefully, his small eyes suddenly lighting up, "And it's meat-filled."

"What's the matter, so early?"

San Daye smiled and told He Yuzhu that he planned to introduce him to a love interest—a flower from his school, with good family conditions.

"For this matter, I, San Daye, will certainly spare no effort, you see……"

He Yuzhu thought it over carefully and immediately knew what was up—after all, yesterday they had all come out of Yi Daye's home together, so they were probably thinking up some crooked scheme.

Is this San Daye bullying me for being stupid, wanting to mess up my marriage and also have me sell goods to him on credit later?

However, He Yuzhu was a bit curious why they disliked Character so much; even if she's ugly, that shouldn't matter much to them.

"San Daye, you don't need to bother; Director Mi already talked to me earlier." He Yuzhu smiled slightly, "I think Character is also quite good."

San Daye jumped up three feet high, saying, "How can you say Character is good? Isn't that nonsense?"

"How about this: you tell me why you dislike Character so much, and I'll let you eat this bowl of wonton." He Yuzhu pointed to the wonton on the table.

After hesitating a moment, San Daye glanced outside with shifty eyes and whispered, "You don't know? That day you went to the Wen family, you-know-what happened, Yi Daye also got thrown in a messy mix, and Character supposedly stepped on Yi Daye's foot, not letting him bewitch you."

"Indeed a good daughter-in-law, this martial prowess—no way! Could my amnesia be from being beaten by Character? What does she even do? She's so formidable."

"Got any alcohol? Drinking such good wonton like this is simply a waste."

"Wanting to drink alcohol isn't impossible, but you have to tell me what you were up to at Yi Daye's place yesterday—were you hatching some crooked scheme?"

San Daye kept silent, hastily finished the wonton, and slipped back home.

He Yuzhu took another bowl and walked to the back courtyard; although he'd forgotten some things, the deaf old lady should know what's going on. With so many people in the courtyard house, asking her is the most appropriate.

Don't look down on the old lady's age; the saying goes, people get refined with age, horses get slick. In this courtyard house, aside from a few, they're all hairless monkeys.

Seeing He Yuzhu making wonton early in the morning, Jia Zhangshi flared up with nameless anger at home, feeling that since she hadn't eaten any dishes yesterday, today's wonton should definitely be given to her to taste.

"Qin Huairu, did you offend Shazu? Why isn't he giving us food?" Jia Zhangshi banged the table, "No matter what method you use, today I must get the lunch box in my hands, or you don't come back."

Qin Huairu felt embarrassed, because she also didn't know how she had offended He Yuzhu.

"How can a child grow well without nourishment? Our family's Bang Geng is a promising child—he needs to eat more meat."
