Chapter 79

Seeing Qin Huairu frantically passing the buck, He Yuzhu couldn't help but laugh in anger. These people would do their best to pass the buck and destroy him if they couldn't get any advantage, pinning all kinds of labels on him.

First it was not respecting the old, and now it was not loving the young.

He Yuzhu didn't believe Qin Huairu didn't know Bang Geng came to grab the roast duck; it wouldn't be surprising if this was something Qin Huairu had secretly instigated.

He Yuzhu was too lazy to talk nonsense with Qin Huairu. He stretched out his hand, grabbed Bang Geng from Qin Huairu's arms, and slapped him twice, "Pa pa~".

He beat Bang Geng until he was crying and gasping for breath.

"Qin Huairu, you can continue crying, and you can continue to pin pots on my head to slander me. Let's see who can't hold on first," He Yuzhu sneered.

Then, He Yuzhu backhanded Bang Geng with two more big slaps, beating Bang Geng into a pig's head, and then threw Bang Geng to the ground.

"Next time you dare to scheme against me and take advantage of me, I will break Bang Geng's legs and let him sit in a wheelchair for the rest of his life," He Yuzhu said viciously.

After He Yuzhu finished speaking, he returned home, eating roast duck while looking at Bang Geng provocatively. Bang Geng was in pain and greedy, crying even louder, and did a forward roll, lying on the ground and starting to make a scene.

"Hahahaha..." Bursts of giggling came.

Everyone in the Siheyuan was long since fed up with this trick of Qin Huairu's. Whenever they ate some meat at home, they had to guard against it like guarding against thieves, for fear that Qin Huairu would come to ask for meat.

But the Jia family's noses were like dogs'. Not to mention stewing meat or stir-frying meat at home, even if they bought ready-made braised meat outside, they would smell the scent and come to beg for food.

If you don't give it, Yi Zhonghai will jump out for moral kidnapping, Qin Huairu will howl twice, and it's either Jia Zhangshi blocking the door or Silly Zhu coming to provoke trouble.

In desperation, they had to give some meat. If they gave too little, it wouldn't work. After giving it to the Jia family, the Deaf Old Lady would come to ask for meat. After the Deaf Old Lady left, only the soup was left, making the people in the Siheyuan afraid to eat meat at home.

Now, seeing this situation, the animals in the Siheyuan naturally let out schadenfreude laughter.

"Wife, call Qin Huairu back, don't delay the big event tonight," Yi Zhonghai said in a deep voice, fearing that Qin Huairu's commotion would affect the full-courtyard meeting tonight.

Yi Dama hurried out and pulled Qin Huairu and Bang Geng home.

Bang Geng was a person who loved to be the center of attention. If no one paid attention to him, Bang Geng would see that making a scene was ineffective and would go home obediently.

As soon as Bang Geng saw Yi Dama coming, he thought he could use making a scene to manipulate Yi Dama, so he started making a scene with all his might, and the sound of his wailing grew louder.

Seeing this, Yi Dama pretended to persuade him twice, thinking in her heart: "Qin Huairu can listen or not, it doesn't matter."

"There's a full-courtyard meeting tonight, the important matter is urgent," Yi Dama whispered in Qin Huairu's ear, and then went home.

Qin Huairu suddenly understood that there was an important matter tonight, so she coaxed Bang Geng to go home. Unfortunately, Bang Geng didn't listen at all, stretching his neck and howling for roast duck.

Fearing that it would delay the full-courtyard meeting tonight, Qin Huairu directly grabbed Bang Geng's ear and went home.

"Tsk tsk, boring," He Yuzhu said uninterestingly.

There were no mobile phones or computers in this period, and there was no entertainment at all. They could only watch the excitement similar to intangible cultural heritage. Now that there was no excitement, He Yuzhu naturally felt boring.

"What's boring?" As soon as He Yuzhu finished speaking, He Yushui's figure appeared in the middle courtyard.

Seeing He Yushui's thin body and dry, yellow hair, He Yuzhu cursed Silly Zhu for not being a thing, for how he had raised He Yushui like this.

He Yuzhu carefully recalled the past and discovered that Yi Zhonghai, the Deaf Old Lady, Qin Huairu, and the Jia family mother and son were really not things. The lunch boxes Silly Zhu brought back were either eaten by the Deaf Old Lady or cheated away by Qin Huairu. He Yushui could only eat lunch boxes three or four times a month. As for why He Yushui had to live at school when she clearly had a home, it was also Yi Zhonghai's trick, saying that the third year of junior high was a critical period and she had to seize every moment to study.

"They are all fucking animals!" He Yuzhu thought inwardly.

He Yuzhu's perception of He Yushui was very complicated. After all, he wasn't her biological brother, and He Yuzhu discovered through browsing Silly Zhu's memory that He Yushui didn't seem to respect Silly Zhu very much.

He Yushui always called Silly Zhu "Silly Brother," and she never did housework or washed Silly Zhu's clothes.

In this period, it was only natural for a younger sister to wash her brother's clothes and tidy up the house, just like in Yan Bugui's family, where no matter how much Yan Bugui doted on Yan Jiedi, he would still let San Dama and Yan Jiedi do housework together and wash clothes for Yan Jiecheng's three brothers.

He Yuzhu was too lazy to think about this aspect. He only needed to fulfill his corresponding responsibilities and obligations. He wouldn't say he would raise He Yushui to be white and fat, but he would raise He Yushui to be healthy, then provide for her to go to school, and then give her a generous dowry when she got married.

"Yushui is here. I didn't cook tonight, there's just a roast duck, hurry up and eat," He Yuzhu said, pointing to the sliced roast duck on the table.

Upon hearing this, He Yushui's eyes lit up, and she immediately rushed into the house, locked the door, inserted the bolt, and started eating frantically.

"Eat slowly, don't choke," He Yuzhu said helplessly, then poured a glass of water for He Yushui so she wouldn't choke.

He Yuzhu was really afraid that He Yushui would choke. He Yushui looked like a squirrel stuffing chestnuts into its mouth, her mouth bulging.

He Yushui didn't pay attention to He Yuzhu at all, nor did she have time to reply, her eyes staring at the roast duck in front of her, and from time to time she scanned the door with her peripheral vision, as if she was afraid someone would come to grab it.

Seeing this, He Yuzhu couldn't help but let out a bitter laugh. He Yushui was also deeply suffering from Qin Huairu's begging for food.

He Yuzhu could understand just from this point that He Yushui was a smart person. No wonder Yi Zhonghai wanted to drive He Yushui to school; Yi Zhonghai was afraid that He Yushui would wake Silly Zhu up.

Before long, He Yushui ate the roast duck clean, ate the pepper-salt duck frame clean, and finally picked up the water glass and drank it "gulp~ gulp~" without stopping.

"Silly Brother, how did you think of buying roast duck?" He Yushui said while sucking the oily fingers clean.

This action of He Yushui made He Yuzhu's mind trance for a while.

"Should I find a woman?" He Yuzhu thought inwardly.

"I bought it because I wanted to, I'm not short of money. By the way, the high school entrance exam is coming up soon, do you have confidence in getting into a technical secondary school?" He Yuzhu asked.

As soon as He Yushui heard this, her originally happy little face immediately collapsed.

"I don't have much confidence in getting into a technical secondary school, but I can still get into high school," He Yushui said.

In this period, getting into a technical secondary school was harder than getting into high school. Technical secondary school graduates were assigned jobs, and they were all office worker identities and leadership positions; getting into high school and then into university wasn't bad either. The key was that the timing was wrong. By the time He Yushui graduated from high school, it would be 1964. If she went to university in 1964, then... hehe.

As soon as He Yuzhu thought of the terrifying storm that was about to come, he felt a tremor in his heart. He Yuzhu didn't want to involve He Yushui, but coming to this period and still being as timid as before made him feel a bit regretful and a pity.

If we only talk about the energy of a single individual, He Yuzhu could declare that he was absolutely the number one person in the world.

With great power comes great responsibility.

"Should I do something?" He Yuzhu thought inwardly.
