Courtyard House: New Life, New Silly Zhu

Perhaps it's because of different life experiences that everyone has their own perspective.

The old lady wanted to find someone capable who could help Yi Zhonghai and his wife in the future, while Yi Zhonghai only wanted someone honest and reliable, preferably with a family so that he could control her.

So after the old lady finished eating, Yi Zhonghai took the bowl back.

The sunlight outside was blocked for a moment, and Aunt Yi subconsciously looked towards the door, where she saw Yi Zhonghai carrying a bowl back.

"Old Yi, I'll wash the bowls and take them back to Zhu Zi." After taking the bowls, Aunt Yi asked, "What was the old lady's explanation?"

Upon hearing his wife's question, Yi Zhonghai shook his head and said, "It's the same as always. The old lady keeps wanting me to find Zhuzi, but to be honest, I still think Dongxu is better."

"Old Yi, there's nothing we can do about it. The old lady has always thought Dongxu is a good-for-nothing. He's been with you for so many years, and he still hasn't learned any skills. He's still just a second-level worker. How can he support such a large family with that meager salary?"

Yi Zhonghai frowned and said, "Although Dongxu doesn't have the talent, we still have me. I don't need to spend his money. As long as he can take care of us when we're old, that's enough."

"I have a bad feeling about it." Aunt Yi subconsciously looked in the direction of the Jia family.

"His mother isn't exactly innocent either; who knows what she might do later?"

"That's why I value Dongxu more. He's an honest, dutiful boy who listens to his elders and isn't cunning. But look at Zhuzi, he's changed completely now that he has a job. I'm afraid that if we rely on him in the future, our lives might not be so easy."

"Sigh, in the end, I can only blame myself for not having a son or daughter. This child isn't my own, so there are always some concerns." If it were her own child, she would wish that the boy's heart were full of holes.

pity.

She sighed, walked out of the room, went to the sink, put down the bowl, and carefully washed it.

At that moment, she saw Director Wang walk in through the hanging flower gate.

"Director Wang, what brings you here today? I'll go call Old Yi over," Aunt Yi said hurriedly.

Director Wang waved his hand and said, "No need to trouble Lao Yi, I'm here to see Zhu Zi today." With that, Director Wang walked into He Yuzhu's house.

He Yuzhu was sitting on a stool, pouring all the remaining noodles from the pot into a bowl.

Director Wang happened to witness this scene.

"Zhu Zi, now that you're working, life is much better," Director Wang said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, He Yuzhu looked up at Director Wang, put the bowl in his hand on the table, and said with a smile, "Director Wang, it's all thanks to your care that I got into the factory. Now my sister and I are living much better lives."

He Yushui, who was reading a book while lying on the table, quickly stood up and sweetly called out to Director Wang, "Aunt Wang."

"Good, good, good, what a good child. Sit down, don't stand. Yushui, study hard and strive to be a good student." Director Wang said with a smile, then turned to look at He Yuzhu.

"Pillar, do you remember what I told you before?"

Upon hearing what Director Wang said, He Yuzhu thought about it for a moment.

"Hmm? Director, you mean...?"

Seeing that He Yuzhu still looked somewhat confused, Director Wang shook his head helplessly.

"Alright, Zhu Zi, I'll say it again. You're 21 now, the oldest unmarried young man in our alley. I'm telling you now, I want to arrange blind dates for you. I'll arrange a matchmaker, and you can go and find a girl to go on a blind date with."

He Yuzhu was about to speak when he heard Director Wang say that, but Director Wang interrupted him.

"Zhu Zi, if you're going to refuse, then don't say it. Before, you said you wouldn't go on blind dates because you wanted to take care of your sister. Later, you said you wouldn't go because your job was unstable. But now? You're working in a factory now, you have a stable job, so don't refuse now." After saying that, Director Wang stared intently at He Yuzhu.

He Yushui looked expectantly at her brother, hoping he would agree and help the He family to have more children as soon as possible.

Seeing that both of them were looking at him like that, He Yuzhu could only nod. "Director Wang, I didn't refuse, but given my family's current situation, would that girl be willing to marry me?"

Director Wang looked at He Yuzhu's home and said, "No problem. Zhuzi, your family's situation hasn't improved yet because you've just started working. After working for a couple more years, your family's living conditions will change, and then your family won't be worse off than others."

At this moment, Aunt Yi, who had finished washing the dishes, also came in.

When Director Wang and the others saw someone come in, they all looked at Aunt Yi.

"I'm just bringing over the bowl from Zhu Zi's house," Aunt Yi said, gesturing to the bowl.

"Thank you, Auntie." He Yushui quickly stood up, took the bowl from Auntie Yi's hand, and went into the kitchen.

Aunt Yi, who handed the bowl to He Yushui, also stepped forward and said to Director Wang with a smile.

"Director Wang, I overheard you talking to Zhu Zi about introducing him to potential blind dates. How about this, I'll be the matchmaker and find him some nice girls to go on blind dates with. What do you think?"

"Great, that's good. You've watched Zhu Zi grow up, so you'll definitely find a girl who's even more suitable for him." Director Wang nodded repeatedly when he heard Aunt Yi say that.

Seeing Director Wang nod in agreement, Aunt Yi looked at He Yuzhu again.

"Zhu Zi, what do you think of this?" Aunt Yi looked at He Yuzhu with some anticipation.

"Okay, Auntie, I have no objection, but Auntie Yi, you rarely go out, which girl will you introduce to me?" Actually, He Yuzhu was thinking of the fat girl Liu Yuhua, Liu Cheng's daughter, whom Yi Zhonghai introduced in the TV series.

After all, the older woman's health wasn't good, and she spent most of her time in the yard except when she went out to buy groceries.

"Look, Zhu Zi was quite resistant to being introduced to potential partners before, but now that we're actually going to introduce him to someone, he's already thinking about it." Director Wang saw He Yuzhu's behavior and assumed he was anxious, so he couldn't help but tease him.

Aunt Yi smiled and nodded, "That's right, Zhu Zi, don't worry, I will definitely find you a good girl."

The three then chatted briefly before Director Wang, busy with official duties, hurriedly left.

The older woman left He Yuzhu's house with a smile.

Standing nearby listening, He Yushui excitedly asked He Yuzhu, "Brother, which family's girl do you think that auntie will introduce to you?"

"It's a pity my classmate's older sister is only 15 years old, otherwise, brother, I'd introduce you to her. She's incredibly beautiful."
