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

Yan Bugui put on his coat and hurried out.

He Yuzhu's family was different from theirs.

Tang Qingfang washed the crabs clean, and placed some mantis shrimp and other seafood directly on the steamer rack of the large pot.

"Pillar, is this okay?"

She doesn't know how to cook seafood; she only does what He Yuzhu tells her to do.

He Yuzhu is an expert in recipes and can cook dishes from all over the country.

Who told him to have the cheat code that's the system!

"Yes, the simplest ingredients only need the most basic cooking methods to taste the best."

He Yuzhu smiled.

There was too much firewood, so the fire was burning very brightly.

He also saw the figure outside the window and knew that someone had arrived.

The beasts in this courtyard are definitely going to get restless.

He deliberately left a gap so that they could smell the crabs.

And, I could hear the sounds of them eating fruit.

"Sister-in-law, this is star fruit, the star fruit from the book, and I've finally tasted it."

He Yushui held the starfruit that had been cut into five-pointed stars, her eyes narrowing into slits with laughter.

"This is strawberry, it's too expensive."

Tang Qingfang wasn't upset about the money; she just couldn't help but sigh.

There were also other fruits like cherries, which Tang Qingfang washed clean.

As soon as the fruit was placed on the table, Tang Qingfang began to call out to He Yushui: "Yushui, don't just eat star fruit, eat some of these fruits too. In case you see strawberries or cherries in your textbook next time, you'll recognize them."

Hearing Tang Qingfang say this, He Yushui nodded blankly.

"Sister-in-law, you're right."

The pale white hands and the strawberry-shaped body formed a striking contrast.

"Delicious."

The small mouth took a bite of the strawberry tip, and the whole mouth was filled with the sweetness of strawberry.

Their conversation naturally reached the ears of Uncle Liu Haizhong and Uncle Yan Bugui outside the window.

One after the other, Yan Bugui saw Liu Haizhong, but Liu Haizhong did not notice Yan Bugui.

Just as Yan Bugui was about to turn around, the voice of an old man named Yi Zhonghai came over.

"What are you two doing in the corner of Zhu Zi's house?"

It is obvious that Yi Zhonghai said this on purpose.

He Yuzhu was sure he could hear them talking.

In this way, He Yuzhu will only become more disgusted with Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui.

But the sudden sound startled them both.

"what!"

The two shouted in unison.

This shout came just as He Yuzhu was splashing water.

The basins were filled with water for steaming seafood; the water was piping hot and carried the aroma of seafood.

Luckily, the two dodged quickly, otherwise, the basin of hot water would have been poured over them.

He Yuzhu asked knowingly, "What are you three doing here? Luckily I saw this. Only a dead pig wouldn't be afraid of this scalding hot water."

Because a dead pig isn't afraid of boiling water!

He Yuzhu's sarcasm greatly displeased Liu Haizhong, whose mind was quick enough to work.

"Zhu Zi, what are you talking about? Who's the pig? There's no pig here."

While searching around, Liu Haizhong's gaze fell on Yan Bugui.

This Yan Bugui was actually hiding behind him, trying to scare him.

Yi Zhonghai's arrival was very timely!

All three families share the same goal, but whoever speaks first will lose.

"Why are you coming here instead of eating at home? Just to smell the food?"

He Yuzhu's eyes were cold, and his tone was full of disdain.

If it were someone else, they probably wouldn't have been able to stand it and would have left long ago.

But they persisted shamelessly, as if they didn't understand what he meant at all.

"We just came to see if there's anything we can help you with, so we can lend a hand."

Yi Zhonghai revealed a simple, honest smile.

They're pretending to be nice again!

He Yuzhu snorted coldly; he didn't believe these three could be so kind-hearted.

"Oh, you've come at just the right time! I've just finished preparing the seafood and fruit, and they're already on the table. It's getting late, have you three gentlemen prepared your meals yet?"

He Yuzhu brought it up deliberately to set a trap for them.

Let's see who jumps into the pit.

But as Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong, and Yan Bugui went through the thought, another meaning emerged.

They simply assumed that He Yuzhu was testing them.

"My family has already prepared the meal. Today, your second aunt is stewing chicken. I came to let you know that Yushui likes to eat chicken. I'll bring some over for you later."

Liu Haizhong brought up He Yushui as an example.

He also made his position clear: he was not there to eavesdrop, but to bring food to He Yuzhu.

It was like the gesture of an elder showing concern for a younger person.

"Second Uncle is really thoughtful."

When Liu Haizhong heard He Yuzhu praising him, his mouth stretched almost to the back of his ears.

They were laughing heartily.

He was secretly pleased, thankful that he reacted quickly, otherwise he would be the one in an awkward situation now.

The smile in her eyes was impossible to hide.

Just as Yan Bugui was about to retort, He Yuzhu spoke up again: "Since the food is ready, Second Uncle should hurry home and eat. Cleaning the playground is tiring enough."

Upon hearing this, Yi Zhonghai was holding back his laughter, but Yan Bugui, who had been eager to see Liu Haizhong make a fool of himself, immediately burst out laughing.

"Ha ha ha ha."

Actually, things weren't that funny, but he raised his voice quite a bit in order to annoy Liu Haizhong.

He Yuzhu's response, in particular, made him laugh so hard he almost fell over.

Liu Haizhong was waiting for He Yuzhu to invite him to dinner, but to his surprise, He Yuzhu refused outright.

Liu Haizhong opened his mouth as if to say something, but ultimately swallowed his words.

He only left one sentence: "Okay."

His eyes definitely looked like he wanted to kill someone.

This clearly shows how dissatisfied he was.

One left, leaving two.

Yan Bugui cleverly replied, "The food at home was just cooked and isn't done yet, so I came to see if you need any help. We're all one family, and this is just my duty."

These words made it seem as if Yan Bugui himself had attained enlightenment.

Yi Zhonghai listened with his hands behind his back, the look of disgust on his lips saying it all.

But Yan Bugui was still talking excitedly.

"Then why don't you hurry back and help with the cooking? What are you doing here?"

He Yuzhu retorted to Yan Bugui.

Even though He Yuzhu knew their intentions, he made them say what they wanted to say, humiliating them in public.

"Alright, Zhu Zi, the Third Uncle meant well. If you don't appreciate it, then forget it."

Yan Bugui left feeling foolish.

The conversation had already gone this far, yet he continued to stay, as if his status as the third uncle was something to be taken advantage of.

Cheap is cheap!

This is the characteristic of courtyard houses: they have their own selfish motives, but in the end, they still pin the blame on others.

He Yuzhu didn't care about any of that.

Now that both of them are gone, he can say whatever he wants.

“Zhu Zi, you see how busy you are at work, and Nurse Tang is also quite busy at the hospital. To be honest, seeing you still having to catch rainwater makes me feel really bad, especially after what happened in our hospital today. I feel ashamed.”

"This is something they are too old to do."

"But don't take it to heart. There's an old man in this courtyard. He definitely won't let you be bullied."

Yi Zhonghai has become smarter.

He put it very well.

However, He Yuzhu also knew what he was thinking.
