Siheyuan: Let Yourself Go He Yuzhu

Chapter 157 The Deaf Old Lady's Idea, Rejected by Yan Bugui
"The focus of this matter lies on Sha Zhu. As long as Sha Zhu gives in, everything can be solved." The deaf old lady said slowly.

"Old lady, I also know that all Sha Zhu needs to do is write a letter of apology and the matter will be solved. The key is that Sha Zhu refuses to give in." Qin Huairu said.

"Alas, Shazhu has changed and become disobedient." The deaf old lady sighed.

"Yes, Shazhu has changed. He has become disobedient. It would be great if he could still be the same as before." Qin Huairu also said after sighing.

"Do you know why Shazhu has changed so much?" the deaf old lady sneered.

"Why?" Qin Huairu asked subconsciously.

"Why? It's all because of your greedy mother-in-law." The deaf old lady sneered again.

"My mother-in-law?" Qin Huairu was confused.

"Yes! It's your mother-in-law, that damned girl Jia Zhang. Ever since I entered the nursing home, I have been thinking about what happened recently when I have nothing to do. I have thought about it countless times, and I found that Shazhu started to change the day Jia Dongxu died."

"I remember it very clearly. That night, when Sha Zhu and his family returned home, your mother-in-law, Jia Zhang, rushed over to Sha Zhu and insisted that it was Sha Zhu who killed Jia Dongxu."

"Everyone knows that what Jia Zhang did was nothing more than to extort some money from Sha Zhu. That's where the change comes from. If it was in the past, you would come out and cry a few times, and Yi Zhonghai would come out to fool Sha Zhu again. Sha Zhu would most likely swallow his anger and take the money and leave it at that."

"But Sha Zhu didn't take the money and let it go. He beat your mother-in-law, Jia Zhang. Although I wasn't at the scene, I thought about it carefully afterwards and I realized that Sha Zhu really beat your mother-in-law, and he beat her to death."

"Since that day, Sha Zhu has changed, completely changed. I understand what that damned girl Jia Zhang is thinking. Not only does she want to blackmail Sha Zhu for money, she also wants to make Sha Zhu notorious. If Sha Zhu has a bad reputation, he won't be able to get a wife."

"Yi Zhonghai comes out again to trick Sha Zhu into supporting your family, and you just keep dragging him along, no matter what method you use. If you can't drag him along any longer, you can marry Sha Zhu. Anyway, you won't give birth to a child for Sha Zhu."

"Yi Zhonghai's ultimate goal is to let Sha Zhu and you take care of him in his old age. Sha Zhu will be responsible for making money, and you will be responsible for taking care of their daily lives. In the end, the house and property of Yi Zhonghai, Sha Zhu and me will all belong to your Jia family."

"When Shazhu gets old and can't work anymore, and the house falls into your hands again, Banggeng will definitely chase Shazhu out and let him freeze to death under the bridge."

"Your calculations were quite good, but unfortunately, you were too impatient. If Jia Zhang had not been so anxious to blackmail Sha Zhu that day, or if she had discussed it with Yi Zhonghai in advance, things would not have developed to this point."

"Shazhu is not stupid, he is just stubborn. He can't adapt to many things. However, no matter how stubborn he is, Shazhu will never let Jia Zhang pin the hat of murderer on his head. You guys are too careless and too self-righteous. You think everything is under control."

"Now, it's time to get out of control." The deaf old lady said coldly.

"Old lady, what's the point of saying all this now? Please think of a way for me to rescue Banggeng." Although Qin Huairu admitted in her heart that the old lady's words were right, rescuing Banggeng was still the priority at the moment.

"You can't control Sha Zhu just because you want to. I'll give you two ideas. It's up to you which one you choose and whether it succeeds or not." said the deaf old lady.

"Okay! Old lady, please tell me quickly." Qin Huairu said impatiently.

"The first idea is to set up a trap. You go to Shazhu's house when he's alone at home, and then yell that Shazhu is playing tricks on you. Force Shazhu to marry you. After the marriage is done, you'll be family, and there won't be any question of whether or not you stole his money."

"If you want to accomplish this, it's best to find an outsider to help you. You can go find Yan Bugui. Yan Bugui was sent to the third line by Sha Zhu. He must be full of resentment towards Sha Zhu. If you give Yan Bugui a little bit of profit, Yan Bugui will definitely help you."

"The second idea is to continue to target Qin Jingru, or more precisely, target Qin Jingru's family. From what you said, Qin Jingru and Sha Zhu are about to get married. Find out the exact time."

"According to custom, Sha Zhu and Qin Jingru will have to hold a banquet in their hometown to celebrate. When the time comes, you should collude with the elders and villagers at home and ask them to put pressure on Sha Zhu. To put it bluntly, it will be like holding a general meeting in the courtyard. As an old woman, I believe that with your intelligence, you can grasp the right measure and achieve your goal."

"You don't have to worry about the time. It is said that it takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone. With Bang Geng's injuries, he will at least have to lie in bed for a while. This is enough time for you to act." The deaf old lady said slowly.

Qin Huairu's eyes lit up when she heard that.

"Thank you, old lady. Thank you, old lady." Qin Huairu said happily.

"I just gave you some advice. As for the specific actions, you should go back and think carefully about them and try to succeed in one go. If things succeed, and you still remember me, an old woman, please send me some delicious food. This is all I ask for." said the deaf old lady.

Although the deaf old lady said so, she knew in her heart that if this really happened, there was a high probability that Qin Huairu would not bring her food again.

Then, the deaf old lady waved her hand, signaling Qin Huairu to leave.

Qin Huairu didn't say anything polite and left quickly. She had already made her decision, so there was no need to flatter the deaf old lady anymore.

"What an ungrateful person!" sneered the deaf old lady.

Qin Huairu quickly returned to the courtyard and went straight to Yan Bugui's house. She told Yan Bugui her detailed plan and promised to reward him generously after the success.

"Qin Huairu, we are leaving soon. We don't want to get involved in the grudges in the courtyard anymore. You should find someone else." Yan Bugui rejected Qin Huairu outright.

Qin Huairu was stunned when she heard this. According to Qin Huairu's plan, Yan Bugui should have been easily persuaded. Unexpectedly, Yan Bugui directly refused. This was unreasonable.

"Could it be that Yan Bugui doesn't believe me because I didn't tell him the specific amount?" Qin Huairu thought to herself.

Then, Qin Huairu's eyes turned and she said seriously, "Uncle, as long as you are willing to help me, I will give you 200 yuan after the matter is done."

Of course Qin Huairu didn't have so much money. What Qin Huairu thought was that since she was married to He Yuzhu, He Yuzhu's money was her money, and she could use He Yuzhu's money to give to Yan Bugui.

Qin Huairu thought she had plenty of ways to control He Yuzhu.

Yan Bugui still shook his head and rejected Qin Huairu very straightforwardly.

"Uncle, do you think the money is too little? Two hundred yuan is not a small amount." Qin Huairu said.

"Xiao Qin, this is not a matter of money. I really don't want to get involved in the affairs of the hospital anymore. Just go away. If you don't leave, don't blame me for being rude." Yan Bugui said angrily.

Qin Huairu wanted to persuade him again, but Yan Bugui said, "If you don't leave, I will tell Zhuzi about your affairs; if you leave now, I will pretend that nothing happened. We are leaving soon, and I really don't want to cause any more trouble."

Seeing that Yan Bugui was determined not to help, Qin Huairu hurriedly left Yan Bugui's house.

"Old Yan, why don't you team up with Qin Huairu to cheat Sha Zhu once? Two hundred yuan is not a small amount." asked the third aunt.

"I told you, this is not about money. Even if you have the life to take the money, you don't have the life to spend it. Haven't you figured it out yet? He Yuzhu is no longer the silly Zhu he used to be, and he will not let Qin Huairu manipulate him."

"Do you think Qin Huairu can succeed in this? There is no possibility of success! Even if I bring everyone to block Qin Huairu and He Yuzhu in the house, what will happen? It was Qin Huairu who rushed to He Yuzhu's house."

"No matter how Qin Huairu cries or how she incites everyone, He Yuzhu can break the situation with just one move." Yan Bugui sneered.

"What trick?" the third aunt asked subconsciously.

"Go to the square and hold up a sign, or bump your head against the stone lions in front of Zhongnanhai Gate. If He Yuzhu uses this trick, it will definitely attract an investigation from the higher-ups. I don't need to say who the higher-ups are. They have plenty of ways to get to the bottom of the matter."

"No matter how smart Qin Huairu is, she is just an ordinary person. Even those who have received professional training cannot withstand their interrogation. Do you think Qin Huairu can withstand it? Or can our family withstand it?" "It's different now. He Yuzhu has become smarter and more ruthless. Look at the fate of those who have a grudge against He Yuzhu in the courtyard."

"The deaf old lady wanted to be He Yuzhu's grandmother and wanted He Yuzhu to cook delicious food for her, but she ended up being sent to a nursing home. Don't you know what a nursing home is? There is a lack of food and clothing, and the accommodation conditions are not good. How can it be as comfortable as living in a courtyard house?"

"Yi Zhonghai wanted to control He Yuzhu and make him obey him in everything, but he ended up eating peanuts;"

"Liu Haizhong wanted to show off in front of He Yuzhu and tried to overpower He Yuzhu at every turn, so he was sent to the third line by He Yuzhu;"

"Xu Damao and He Yuzhu have been at odds since childhood, and a few days ago he ruined He Yuzhu's blind date. As a result, the family of four was exiled to the third line;"

"I don't need to explain my family's situation in detail. I never offended He Yuzhu. I just took advantage of him a little and made him angry, so he sent my family to the Third Front."

"Such a ruthless person, will he fall into Qin Huairu's trap? Even if he does, will he be controlled by Qin Huairu? We can give He Yuzhu some troubles, but we can't make him anxious or angry. Understand?"

"Besides, we are leaving soon. Even if Qin Huairu's plan succeeds, it will take time. We can't hold out for that long. So, let's just go to the Third Front."

"By the way, when Zhuzi comes back, tell him about this and see if you can get some small advantage from him." Yan Bugui said.

"We are selling Qin Huairu. Is this appropriate?" asked the third aunt.

"What's inappropriate about it? We are leaving soon anyway. Qin Huairu is just a widow, so it doesn't matter if we offend her. And He Yuzhu is the leader, he can send us to the third front, and he will have ways to continue to deal with us." Yan Bugui said.

"Okay, I'll wait for He Yuzhu to come back." said the third aunt.

Yan Bugui was scared.

Although Yan Bugui was stingy and liked to take advantage of others, he had his own survival wisdom since he was able to survive from the previous dynasty to the present. The fact that He Yuzhu was able to send so many people away showed that He Yuzhu himself had great power.

Yan Bugui would not offend He Yuzhu for Qin Huairu.

After Qin Huairu returned home, she couldn't help but curse Yan Bugui in her heart. When Qin Huairu calmed down, she began to think about the feasibility of the matter.

In the end, Qin Huairu rejected the honey trap plan. The reason was that no one cooperated with the plan and the chance of success was too low.

If He Yuzhu was determined to make a big deal out of it and go to the street office and police station to report the case, Qin Huairu had no confidence that she could withstand their interrogation.

Qin Huairu decided to use the second idea. She would first find out the time when Qin Jingru and He Yuzhu would hold the banquet in Qinjia Village, and then wait for an opportunity to act. Qin Huairu was very familiar with this kind of thing.

Moreover, Qin Huairu was fighting at home, and had the advantage of time, place and people. Qin Huairu didn't believe that He Yuzhu would turn against her at the wedding banquet.

When Qin Huairu thought of this, she felt inexplicably relaxed, and then she went to the hospital to see Bang Geng at a leisurely pace.

Qin Jingru learned to ride a bicycle with He Yushui for an entire afternoon and was now able to wobbly on the road. He Yuzhu then took the two of them back to the courtyard.

As soon as they arrived at the courtyard, the third aunt rushed out of her house and stopped He Yuzhu.

"Zhu Zi, I have something to tell you. Qin Huairu is planning to play the Immortal Way on you. You must be prepared in advance." The third aunt recounted what had happened in a low voice.

"Thank you for coming, Aunt Yan. Here are two kilograms of national food coupons. Take them. I won't see you off when you leave. When you get there, all these little ailments of my uncle Yan will have to be corrected."

"I heard that the people there are tough and will beat others if they disagree with you. You'd better be careful when you get there and don't take advantage of them every day. Otherwise, I won't send you to the Third Front." After He Yuzhu handed the two kilograms of general food coupons to the third aunt, he returned home with Yu Shui and Qin Jingru.

"How can Qin Huairu be so despicable that she can do such a shameless thing." Qin Jingru said hatefully.

"Haha, what can't she do?" He Yushui sneered.

Compared to Qin Huairu, He Yushui still likes Qin Jingru more, because, in He Yushui's opinion, Qin Jingru is silly and doesn't have that many thoughts. She will do whatever she is told to do.
Unlike Qin Huairu, who is full of tricks and hard to guard against, you never know when she will sell you out.

When it was time to go to bed after dinner, Li Huaide's driver Xiao Ma came to the courtyard and found He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu immediately understood that the cigarettes and alcohol sent by Li Huaide had arrived, a total of twelve bottles of Maotai and six bottles of Huazi, which were specially supplied to the internal department.

"Wow, Li Huaide has invested a lot of money." He Yuzhu said in his heart.

"Thank you, Director Ma." After saying this, He Yuzhu placed two boxes of specially supplied Huazi on the passenger seat.

If you call him driver Xiao Ma in front of Li Huaide, he won't argue with you; if Li Huaide is not around, try calling him Xiao Ma in front of him, it would be strange if he doesn't make things difficult for you, so you have to call him Director Ma.

"Director He, you're welcome. I'll leave first if nothing else." said the driver Xiao Ma.

"It's okay, it's okay, I'll take you there." He Yuzhu said politely.

"Don't worry, it's more important to put the things back home first. You don't have to see me off. I'm leaving." After Xiao Ma said that, he drove away.

He Yuzhu quickly moved the cigarettes and alcohol back home. It didn't matter even if someone saw them. He Yuzhu had plenty of excuses to shirk responsibility.

"Brother Zhuzi, actually you don't need to bring such good cigarettes and alcohol when you have a banquet on the weekend. It's such a waste. You can just buy some loose liquor and those cheap cigarettes." Qin Jingru said.

"Life only comes once, and I cannot let you down. I have my own ideas on this matter, and you just need to do what I say. Tomorrow, bring back a pack of cigarettes and two bottles of wine and let your dad try them first." He Yuzhu said.

Qin Jingru was so moved that she insisted on letting He Yuzhu test his prowess that night.

"You are too young and weak now. Wait until you have recovered your health after half a year." He Yuzhu said.

Qin Jingru was very touched after hearing this, but still insisted on sleeping with He Yuzhu. He Yuzhu had no choice but to let Qin Jingru practice the pronunciation techniques and feed her more meat in the future to raise her.

Early the next morning, after He Yuzhu and the other two finished their meal, He Yuzhu asked Qin Jingru to push the bicycle and carry the sacks filled with cigarettes, alcohol, chicken, meat and grain to the station to take the bus home.

At this time, the bicycle can be lifted onto the roof. If the road was not too far, He Yuzhu would like Qin Jingru to ride the bicycle home.

Qin Jingru didn't care. No matter what, after arriving at the village entrance, she would ride her bicycle and return home in glory.

Qin Jingru has always been a benchmark for Qin Huairu. Back then, Qin Huairu borrowed a bicycle and asked Jia Dongxu to carry her back home, but now, she, Qin Jingru, rides her own bicycle back home.

Qin Jingru's popularity will naturally overshadow Qin Huairu.

He Yuzhu sent Qin Jingru home without hiding it from Qin Huairu. Qin Huairu decided to take a leave to go home and find out some news.
