Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

Some things cannot be explained away simply by not knowing them.

In He Yushui's case, it was Sha Zhu's ignorance that led to the current tragedy.

If he had put more effort into He Yushui, her fate would have been different.

Xu Damao also said that He Yushui was afraid of spending money, which is why she was reluctant to go to the hospital for a check-up.

Afraid of spending money.

These three words would be normal for anyone else, but when applied to the He family, they seem utterly ridiculous.

Before Qin Huairu received Lou Xiao'e's property, she would go to the hospital for a checkup even when she had an upset stomach.

Where did Qin Huairu get her money?

It was all earned by Sha Zhu.

Now, Sha Zhu has received several million yuan in assets from Lou Xiao'e, as well as a courtyard house.

Sha Zhu's younger sister, however, was too reluctant to go to the hospital for a checkup because she didn't want to spend the money.

Sha Zhu gave his money to Yi Zhonghai, Qin Huairu, and those in the courtyard who had bullied them.

But he never thought of giving it to his own sister.

It's pathetic, and even more hateful.

Hearing Sha Zhu keep shouting that he didn't know, Xu Damao got furious. He stood up and kicked Sha Zhu, knocking him to the ground.

"I don't know? Then what do you know? You just know that Qin Huairu is unhappy, don't you?"

You're always thinking about those bastards like Yi Zhonghai, but you never think about your own sister.

That kick contained all of Xu Damao's resentment over the past few years; it was incredibly powerful, even causing Sha Zhu to overturn the table.

Qin Jingru quickly pulled Xu Damao away: "What are you doing? He just got beaten up by a stick and then stood outside in the cold for hours."

What if you beat him even more badly?

"He deserved to be beaten to death. I'll pay with my life if necessary," Xu Damao said, still not satisfied.

Then look at Shazhu, he's lying on the ground, crying loudly.

He Yuzhu couldn't figure out what he was thinking, so he temporarily put aside his plan.

The commotion woke up the neighbors in the courtyard, and someone knocked on the door to come and check.

"Jingru, what's going on? Who's crying at your house?"

Qin Jingru quickly explained to her neighbors, "My son Da Mao and Sha Zhu were drinking together and got into a fight."

"Silly Zhu? He's a rich man."

There was not a trace of envy in his tone; instead, it carried a hint of disdain.

The man saw Sha Zhu lying on the ground, but acted as if he didn't see him: "Drinking is fine, but don't make too much noise."

My child has school tomorrow.

"Don't worry, I'll take good care of them," Qin Jingru quickly assured her.

After that, the neighbor went home to rest.

Seeing that it was getting late, He Yuzhu decided to leave. He had to go back to work tomorrow and quit his job.

With the prospect of future development and growth, He Yuzhu would not choose the "blessing" of working 996.

"Then I'll leave him in your care. I'll head back now?"

Xu Damao's house only had one room, with no extra space, so He Yuzhu wasn't allowed to stay.
After He Yuzhu left, Qin Jingru called out to Shazhu, who was lying on the ground crying.

"Don't cry. Stay at my house for a few days."

Don't go back to the courtyard house.

Since Banggeng treated you that way, he won't let you go back.

As for what to do next…

Qin Jingru didn't know either.

Sha Zhu helped them during their most difficult time. Logically, they should support Sha Zhu in return.

But their circumstances simply don't allow it.

The couple usually live off Qin Jingru's retirement pension.

Xu Damao can occasionally earn some money by cooking, but that little bit is just a drop in the bucket.

Sha Zhu ignored Qin Jingru and cried even harder.

Xu Damao was getting impatient: "Let him cry. After he's done crying, he should go find Qin Huairu."

Even if he dies, he wants to die in Qin Huairu's bed.

Qin Jingru stopped Xu Damao, signaling him not to talk nonsense.

Xu Damao snorted, picked up the bottle of wine left by He Yuzhu, and slowly drank it. "These days, are there any wines without labels? And let me tell you, it's no worse than Moutai."

He Yuzhu found a hotel to stay in, and before going to sleep, he sent a resignation text message to his boss.

After getting a good night's sleep, he leisurely arrived at the company.

As soon as he arrived at the company, his colleague Li Hongwen pulled him aside and asked, "Why are you so late?"

The boss got angry as soon as he arrived at the office this morning, called you out by name, and said you wanted to resign.

He Yuzhu smiled and said, "That's right, I really am going to resign."

"Resign? Are you crazy? This isn't like when we first graduated."

There's an economic crisis right now, and many graduating seniors can't find internships.

If you resign now, what will happen to your job?
How will you pay rent if you don't have a job?

Do you still want to stay in Beijing?

He Yuzhu looked indifferent: "Even if I don't resign, I can stay in Beijing."
There's no point in continuing in this lousy company.

Li Hongwen looked at He Yuzhu with a puzzled expression.

"What do you mean? You've found a new company?"

"No, I plan to be my own boss," He Yuzhu explained simply.

Under Li Hongwen's incredulous gaze, He Yuzhu went to the company boss's office.

The boss's name is Xia Zhen, a greasy middle-aged man in his forties.

Upon seeing He Yuzhu enter, he roared angrily at He Yuzhu.

"So you still know to come to work?"

He Yuzhu said calmly, "President Xia, I already said in the text message that I want to resign today."

Xia Zhen was taken aback: "You've been drinking?"

"This has nothing to do with drinking. I've thought it through."

Xia Zhen nodded: "Since you've made up your mind, let's get the formalities done."

Without any attempts to retain him or any dramatic mockery, He Yuzhu smoothly completed the formalities and resigned.

Because he had only been working for six months, there was nothing to hand over, so the procedures were completed in one day.

A few people who were on good terms with him came over to ask him a few questions and then left.

Only Li Hongwen came specifically to ask him about his next plans.

The next priority, naturally, is to deal with Sha Zhu's situation.

Everything else is secondary.

He Yuzhu did not tell him the news, only saying that he needed to rest for a while.

Seeing He Yuzhu's firm attitude, Li Hongwen didn't say anything more, patted him on the shoulder, and went back to work.

He Yuzhu took his belongings, left the company, and returned to his rented room.

He stored the useful items in his space and then called the landlord.

The landlord is a 60-year-old man, a nice person.

"The New Year is just around the corner, are you really going to move?"

He Yuzhu said, "I've been transferred to a new job, and the new location is too far from here."

It's inconvenient to travel back and forth.

The landlord said, "If you want to move, I certainly won't stop you. However, our contract stipulates payment every quarter."

I'm not going to refund the money from this quarter, which still has one month left.

Don't think I'm ripping you off.

The main problem is that I can't find tenants right now. The house just sits vacant.

He Yuzhu smiled and said, "Just give me the deposit. Consider the extra money as compensation from me."

Is that alright now?

Seeing that He Yuzhu was straightforward, the landlord was also straightforward and gave He Yuzhu the deposit from his pocket.

"Your deposit has been refunded. If you have a place to stay, you can stay for another month. I'll find another tenant next month."

"No need. Next month is the end of the year, and there will be even fewer people renting. If you can't find tenants, the house will be vacant for a month or two."

I don't want anything inside anymore. You can have it cleaned up.

After He Yuzhu finished speaking, he picked up a backpack and left.

He didn't go anywhere else, but stayed at a hotel near Nanluoguxiang. (End of Chapter)
