Courtyard House: Report enemy agents at the start, and you'll take off immediately.

"Rain, come in quickly!"

Clearly, He Yushui was experiencing menstrual cramps.

.......................

Chapter Fourteen: Tell He Yushui everything!

Zhao De helped He Yushui into the house and closed the door behind him.

I sat down at the table and looked at the tempting braised pork.

Surprisingly, He Yushui's appetite overcame the pain, and she couldn't help but swallow.

"I really want to eat it, but it hurts so much!"

Zhao De did not notice the change in her expression, but he heard her thoughts.

I found it both funny and somewhat sympathetic.

Who wouldn't have an older brother who is a great cook?

At least you don't have to worry about food, and your mouth won't be lonely.

...................

He Yushui is truly unlucky to have such a headstrong older brother.

Despite this hotheaded older brother having angered Zhao De.

But he did not take his anger out on He Yushui.

Zhao De poured He Yushui a cup of hot water.

Then I found a hot water bottle from home and had her put it on her abdomen for a heat compress.

This action caused He Yushui's face to flush red, and her heart was filled with mixed feelings.

Afterwards, Zhao De began to eat alone.

They ate with great relish, while He Yushui sat to the side, suffering terribly.

"Brother Zhao, thank you!"

Why didn't he ask me if I had eaten or if I wanted to eat anything else?

Should I eat it if he asks me to?

It's not really appropriate to freeload, so how about I do his laundry tonight?

[Or I could do some housework; I hope my health will improve soon.]

What is he laughing at?

......................

As Zhao De listened to He Yushui's inner monologue, a smile crept onto his lips.

"Rain, have you eaten? Would you like some more?"

Zhao De thought to himself, "We can't send her away under the current circumstances."

It wouldn't be appropriate for her to watch me eat, so I simply invited her to eat with me.

Afterwards, you can ask her to help clean up the mess.

He Yushui looked quite embarrassed, but her thoughts had already been revealed.

Zhao De handed her a bowl and chopsticks, and under his half-hearted persuasion, He Yushui began to eat.

Dining in silence always creates an awkward atmosphere, so Zhao De spoke up and asked:

"Rain, do you think it's appropriate for Sha Zhu to give the lunchbox to Qin Huairu?"

"This... doesn't seem wrong!"

......................

He Yushui hesitated for a moment, but still felt there was no problem.

Zhao De glanced at her.

Don't you think your brother went too far?

Sure enough, her mind was completely filled with Qin Huairu's words, and she was deeply poisoned by them.

"You mean he likes Qin Huairu, right?"

He Yushui recalled what Zhao De had just mentioned.

Zhao De did not deny it.

"What if Jia Dongxu passed away, or Qin Huairu and Jia Dongxu divorced?"

Are they a good match?

Everyone knows that Jia Dongxu's health is critical and his life is hanging by a thread.

They could leave at any time.

He Yushui was naturally aware of this as well.

"This……"

He Yushui's mind works a little slowly.

"It's probably possible!"

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

......................

Seeing her wide-eyed, confused expression, Zhao De explained:

"Think about what your brother's conditions are!"

"Your brother is a level 8 chef in a large factory with 10,000 employees, and he earns 35.5 yuan a month."

“There are two houses in the family, and there are no elderly people living there who need to be supported. You are almost an adult yourself.”

"If he keeps shirking responsibilities he shouldn't bear, what kind of woman can't he find?"

"As for finding a woman from the countryside who doesn't receive a food ration, is either divorced or widowed, and has three children?"

“That Xu Damao is a year younger than your brother, and he’s already been married for three years.”

"And look at your brother, he's completely obsessed."

Zhao De is right, even if we disregard other factors.

Just because Sha Zhu is a chef, he could find a decent person to marry.

After all, they had just experienced a famine, and everyone was afraid of going through those days again.

When has anyone ever starved to death as a chef?

......................

This profession is currently the hottest and most sought-after in the market.

Zhao De told He Yushui these things.

It's because he just thought of it.

If He Yushui could persuade Sha Zhu to come to his senses and find another woman to marry...

So wouldn't all the plans of the deaf old woman, Yi Zhonghai, and the Jia family have fallen through?

They've lost their support; that'll be quite a show!

He Yushui fell silent after hearing Zhao De's words, barely touching her chopsticks.

What Brother Zhao said seems to make sense; Sister Huairu really isn't a good match for my brother.

[But Huai Ru's family is also pitiful. What exactly does this so-called burden they shouldn't have to bear refer to?]

He Yushui was completely baffled by these questions.

Given her age and experience, it is indeed difficult for her to understand.

So Zhao De sipped his wine and munched on peanuts.

Anyway, idle is idle.

......................

The deaf old woman's plan, Yi Zhonghai's purpose, and the Jia family's exploitation were all revealed.

He also explained to He Yushui the heavy burden that Sha Zhu had to bear.

He explained in detail how to deal with it and why.

He Yushui was taught all sorts of principles one by one.

And so, the meal was finished, with Zhao De providing explanations.

He Yushui felt as if the world in her eyes had completely changed, as if black and white had been turned upside down.
