Courtyard House: Become Stronger Through Blind Dates

He Yuzhu thought for a moment and said, "Secretary Li, this matter is probably not easy to handle! Many readers have been paying attention to Li Xu's situation, and Xiaobai's reports will only truthfully describe the current situation of Li Xu's family."

"Sigh, to be honest, things have developed to this point, and Li Xu's family can no longer stay in the village. He's already planning to sell the school's letter of introduction and exchange it for a job in the county town."

Li Jinghua, true to his official position, immediately understood: "Comrade He, our county committee will make arrangements for Li Xu's matter right away!"

"He doesn't need to sell school recommendation letters. On behalf of the county, I promise to help his family secure a job in the county. As for housing, I will also negotiate with his employer to arrange it in advance."

Li Xu stood beside He Yuzhu, completely dumbfounded.

He Yuzhu nudged him with his elbow: "Aren't you going to thank Secretary Li? Secretary Li is a good leader who is wholeheartedly for the people. You must remember Secretary Li's kindness when you achieve something in the future."

Li Xu knelt down with a "thud," his forehead hitting the ground heavily with a dull thud.

Li Jinghua quickly bent down and helped the person up: "Alright, alright, get up and talk! This is compensation from the county to your family. You just need to study hard from now on. We'll take care of your family! After you graduate, serve your country well. That's the best way to repay us."

Li Xu was pulled up by him, his eyes were red, and he could only keep saying "thank you".

Seeing that the matter was settled, He Yuzhu cupped his hands in a gesture of respect to Li Jinghua: "Secretary Li, the county has made such a proper arrangement. My wife will definitely write a report based on the facts, so that readers will know that the leaders of Fangshan County are good officials who are truly dedicated to serving the people."

Hearing this, Li Jinghua finally breathed a sigh of relief and patted him on the shoulder: "Then I'll have to trouble you!"

"Of course!"

After a brief farewell, Li Jinghua left with his men, as there were still a lot of things waiting for him to handle!

He came to He Yuzhu to say these things out of desperation, since Zhou Xiaobai was Zhou Zhengming's daughter; otherwise, a simple phone call would have solved the problem.

He Yuzhu looked at Li Xu and said, "Let's go. Now that county leaders are watching, no one will care about your letter of introduction anymore. I'll take you back to the village!"

Li Xu's legs went weak and he was about to kneel down again, but He Yuzhu grabbed him.

"What's wrong with you, kid? Don't you know a man's knees are worth gold?"

"Brother Zhu, I really don't know how to thank you!"

He Yuzhu smiled and said, "Don't thank me, I just made a phone call. But if you really want to thank me, then when you are able to, lend a helping hand to those who are in trouble. That would be the best way to repay me."

"Okay!"

He Yuzhu took Li Xu back to the clinic, picked up Li Laosan, and drove directly to Xiaoli Village.

The three entered the village but found it deserted. Just as they were wondering what was going on, they saw the direction of the brigade headquarters crowded with people inside and out.

An old man saw the three of them and immediately greeted them, "Xiao Xu is back! It's all thanks to you, otherwise we don't know how long we would have been fooled by that beast Li Manfu!"

Li Xu looked puzzled, having no idea what had happened or why someone was thanking him.

He Yuzhu's lips curled up, thinking to himself: It has to be me again!

The reason he came to deliver so many things to Li Manfu last night was to get the father and son arrested, and to get the villagers to shift their hatred onto Li Manfu's family.

As for why Li Xu was given the choice, it was to see what kind of person this kid was.

The result was surprisingly good; as expected, those who can get into university in this era are no pushovers!

The three of them didn't stop walking, and nodded in response to the greetings from the crowd.

By this time, Li Dashan's yard had been almost tidied up. The things that had been messed up were put back in their original places, and the ground had been swept.

He Yuzhu saw the two to the door and said goodbye, "Alright, you can go in now, I'll head back first!"

"Comrade He, why don't you have dinner here before going back?" Li Laosan suggested.

"Oh, don't mention it. I haven't been home all night, I need to hurry home and check on the kids!" With that, he turned and left.

Li Xu wanted to say something, but Li Laosan stopped him: "Xiao Xu, Comrade He is a capable man! Just remember this kindness and repay him when you are able to in the future."

Li Xu nodded, turned around, and pushed open the gate to his own courtyard.

Hearing the commotion inside, Li Dashan's wife came out and, seeing it was Li Xu, immediately rushed over: "Xu'er~"

He then looked up at Li Laosan and, seeing the bandage on his shoulder, immediately said gratefully, "Laosan, we really owe you a lot this time, otherwise..."

Li Laosan quickly replied, "Sister-in-law, you're too kind. Brother Dashan saved my life; this is nothing!"

Li Dashan's wife said to Li Xu, "Xiao Xu, kneel down and kowtow to your third uncle. From now on, treat your third uncle the same way you treat me and your father. When your third uncle gets old, you will be responsible for taking care of him in his old age and seeing him off in his final days."

Li Xu immediately knelt down and kowtowed three times, earnestly saying, "Third Uncle, rest assured, I will take care of you in your old age and see you off in your final days."

Li Dashan's eyes immediately reddened. When he was young, he encountered a pack of wolves in the mountains and was on the verge of death. Fortunately, Li Dashan passed by and saved him, but his genitals were still damaged by the wolves, and he was destined to be childless for the rest of his life.

Upon hearing that Li Xu was willing to take care of him in his old age and see him to his death, he immediately exclaimed excitedly, "Good! Good! Good!"

-----------------------

Meanwhile, He Yuzhu drove straight home.

When he opened the door, he was surprised to see Li Huaide playing with Da Bao and Er Bao in the front yard.

"Hey, what a rare guest! What brings you here, Brother Li!" He Yuzhu joked with a smile.

As soon as the two little ones saw He Yuzhu, they immediately left Li Huaide behind and ran towards He Yuzhu with their short legs.

"Daddy~"

"Oh~ Daddy's two precious babies~" He Yuzhu picked up the two little ones and kissed them one by one.

Li Huaide grinned mischievously and said, "I've been waiting for you here for ages! What have you been up to? I heard from your aunt that you didn't come home all night. Let me tell you, you can't do anything to betray Xiaobai!"

"Get lost! You think I'm like you, keeping the wife at home while having affairs on the side!"

"Oh, that's a personal attack! I'm absolutely loyal to my wife!"

He Yuzhu made a vomiting gesture: "Ugh~ Have you forgotten that my dad works at your factory, in that little canteen..."

Li Huaide quickly stepped forward and covered his mouth, complaining, "Hey, Uncle He, really, why do you tell me everything?"

The two little ones found it funny when they saw Li Huaide covering He Yuzhu's mouth, so one of them immediately covered his nose and the other covered his eyes.

"Hey, you two little devils conspired with outsiders to murder your own father!" He Yuzhu shook his head back and forth, breaking free from the men's clutches.

"Giggle, giggle~" The two little ones were having a blast.

Li Huaide patted the two boys' heads and said, "Not bad, you were willing to put aside your own family for the greater good. It wasn't for nothing that I spent half the day playing with you!"

"Go to hell!" He Yuzhu kicked Li Huaide in anger, but the other party quickly dodged it.
