Courtyard House: He Yuzhu Joins the Army, Presses an AK-47 with One Hand

When the older woman heard Yi Zhonghai say he could become a deputy director, her eyes lit up. She then suggested, "He Yuzhu could make you a leader before. This time, you should ask him again. Starting tomorrow, have him announce that it was your idea to teach illiterate people, which will give you a boost. That way, you'll still have a chance to become a deputy director."

When Yi Zhonghai heard the old lady's idea, he suddenly had a breakthrough.

“Yes, that makes sense. Since He Yuzhu was able to promote me back then, he can definitely accept my other requests.” Yi Zhonghai’s worried expression finally turned amiable.

He saw hope.

Once power is in hand.

Yi Zhonghai simply couldn't stop.

He is a beast.

Desires are rising uncontrollably.

He wanted to become a higher-ranking official.

Suddenly, Yi Zhonghai's face turned ferocious: "It's all that damned deaf old lady's fault. He Yuzhu made her take care of He Yushui, giving He Yuzhu a huge opportunity to owe him a favor. She should have just taken good care of her, but she insisted on thinking that He Yuzhu had been missing for more than half a year and that he was dead. Then she wanted to starve He Yushui to death and seize the He family's property. But look what happened, she's like a general who's been gone for three years and then returned. It's even affected He Yuzhu and our family. It's a good thing that the deaf old lady was struck by lightning and died. If she had continued to live, we might have been ruined by her."

"Deserved it."

"That deaf old lady really deserves to die."

Yi Zhonghai and the deaf old lady had always been very close, but at this moment, Yi Zhonghai truly hated the deaf old lady. Even if she were dead, he would still curse her soul.

"I'll go see He Yuzhu tomorrow," Yi Zhonghai said.

“That’s right,” the older woman nodded.

Then Yi Zhonghai said to the older woman, "Why don't you go and ask He Yuzhu now whether he will help me or not? Try to find out what he's thinking."

“Okay.” The middle-aged woman completely agreed to the request.

Chapter 192 The Breakdown in the Relationship Between Liu Family Father and Son

An older woman continued cracking sunflower seeds: "I'll go find He Yuzhu after I crack a few more. These sunflower seeds are really addictive; the more you crack them, the more you can't stop. They smell so good."

Yi Zhonghai nodded: "That's how you crack sunflower seeds."

"Crack..."

"Crack..."

Yi Zhonghai and the old lady stopped talking and just kept eating sunflower seeds.

One round after another.

same time.

Qin Huairu and Ding Qiunan sat on their respective single beds in the Intermediate People's Court, not asleep, chatting idly.

Ding Qiunan asked Qin Huairu, "I saw you chatting and laughing with Jia Dongxu today. What's wrong? Have you changed your mind about Jia Dongxu? He was heartbroken by you not long ago."

Ding Qiunan couldn't help but show Qin Huairu a gossipy expression.

Just a week ago, Qin Huairu was extremely cold towards Jia Dongxu, but in the blink of an eye, the two appeared side by side in the courtyard like a married couple, with very intimate eyes. Ding Qiunan couldn't help but be curious.

Qin Huairu replied, "Looking around the courtyard and our village, apart from Brother Zhu, Jia Dongxu is the most outstanding man around me. Jia Dongxu is now a level-two fitter at the Dongzhimen Steel Rolling Mill, and his monthly salary is quite good. Thinking about it carefully, it's not impossible for Jia Dongxu and me to be together. So I talked to him a lot today and found that he seems to be a good person and quite good at talking. However, Brother Zhu does not agree to me being with Jia Dongxu, and his attitude is very firm."

"In addition, I've discovered that Jia Dongxu's inner thoughts might not be as good as he appears. I still need to observe him further."

Qin Huairu made no attempt to hide her true feelings from Ding Qiunan.

There is someone around you who you can confide in.

Good.

Qin Huairu is a very clear-headed person. Before, due to her limited perspective, she hadn't thought of some things at all. After He Yuzhu's guidance, she immediately understood and began to examine a person from multiple perspectives.

love.

It cannot be done arbitrarily.

woman.

We must not demean ourselves.

Ding Qiunan nodded, feeling much relieved after hearing Qin Huairu's words.

Ding Qiunan hesitated, but the words remained unspoken.

Qin Huairu, with her keen observation skills, said to Ding Dingqiunan, "Just say what you want to say. We're very good friends."

Ding Qiunan nodded and said sincerely, "I share the same opinion as Brother Zhu. I don't think highly of Jia Dongxu. I feel that Jia Dongxu is like a smiling tiger. Of course, this is just my own feeling. You still need to get to know him better and learn more about him. Maybe my feeling is wrong."

Qin Huairu nodded slightly.

She knew Ding Qiunan meant well.

Loyalty is offensive.

If Ding Qiunan hadn't considered Qin Huairu a friend, she certainly wouldn't have said those hurtful things.

Qin Huairu was deeply moved by Ding Qiunan.

She made a true friend.

"Sleep."

Ding Qiunan covered herself with the blanket and fell asleep.

Qin Huairu also turned off the lights and got into bed, but she didn't sleep. Instead, she lay on her single bed contemplating her future. Three years ago, she might have even gotten married, but she was still single. If Jia Dongxu wasn't a good match, she didn't know what kind of man she should look for.

Qin Huairu came from a rural background.

There's a sense of urgency that if I don't get married soon, no one will want me in the future.

Qin Huairu shed tears.

I still miss that man.

He Yuzhu. Although Qin Huairu tried her best to hide her feelings, she couldn't help but think of He Yuzhu every night.

Perhaps this is love.

Love that cannot be obtained.

It is destined to be full of regrets.

……

at the same time.

The brothers Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu happily crawled into bed and went to sleep.

I'm thinking about being able to move out tomorrow.

Delicious.

They didn't tell Liu Haizhong about moving out, fearing a beating. They figured they could just have someone inform Liu Haizhong the next day. They lived in the military compound, and they figured Liu Haizhong wouldn't dare to bother them again. The compound was full of military families, full of righteousness and integrity. Someone like Liu Haizhong, a parasite, would never dare to go there; he would feel so ashamed that he would bury himself in the ground.

"Clang clang clang."

There was a knock on Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu's room.

"Open the door."

"Open the door quickly."

An impatient voice came from outside, emanating from Liu Hai's bangs.

"elder brother."

"Should we open the door?"

Liu Guangfu got up from his single bed and looked at Liu Guangtian.

Every time Liu Haizhong hit them, he used the same tone.

This time, we'll probably have to fight them again.

Therefore, Liu Guangfu sought Liu Guangtian's opinion on whether or not to open the door for Liu Haizhong.

They knew perfectly well that their father was going to beat them.

But he is, after all, his father.

They still rely on Liu Haizhong for food and drink.

But there is nothing to do.

This has always been the root cause of the dual mental and physical torment that the two brothers have suffered for a long time, and they have been helpless to do anything about it.

But things will be different in the future.

With He Yuzhu's help.

The two brothers are able to live independently.

It is not necessary to rely entirely on bangs.

"Open the door," Liu Guangtian said.

Seeing Liu Guangfu about to open the door, Liu Guangtian immediately got out of bed. He chose to open the door himself, because if he had to be beaten, he, as the older brother, would be the one to be beaten first.

Different people have different fates. They live in the same place, but Liu Guangqi has his own single room with a double bed, while the two brothers can only live in single beds. The two of them are crammed into a small room that used to be a storeroom. It is extremely narrow, and it is very crowded for two people to walk around.

"Smack!" As Liu Guangtian opened the door, he was greeted by a large slap from Liu Haizhong's bangs, which landed squarely on Liu Guangtian's face.

"You two good-for-nothings! I told you to speak well of me to He Yuzhu, did you? Why didn't you say a word? Raising you two sons is like raising two ingrates. Give me back the 10,000 yuan I gave you each yesterday," Liu Haizhong said coldly.

It looks like Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu are about to be devoured by his bangs.

Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu each took out 10,000 yuan and gave it to Liu Haizhong.

"You two spineless cowards, just hand it over as I say."

"Snapped!"

Liu Haizhong was about to hit Liu Guangtian again, but this time, Liu Guangtian grabbed Liu Haizhong's arm.

"Um!?"

Liu Haizhong glared at Liu Guangtian, his brows furrowed so deeply he could hardly believe it. He never imagined that Liu Guangtian would dare to defy him. What kind of person was he to dare to defy him?

He felt from the bottom of his heart that his two sons were two worthless bastards.

They deserve to be beaten.
