Courtyard House: New Life, New Silly Zhu

Chapter 66 Is Yi Zhonghai Greedy for Money? (Seeking First Subscription)

Yi Zhonghai stood outside the courtyard with a frown, watching He Yuzhu return to his room.

He was very dissatisfied. At this point, he already knew that He Yuzhu's so-called request for money was just a pretense.

After cleaning the house, the old woman saw her husband standing outside. She came out, looked at Yi Zhonghai who was staring in the direction of the He family's house, and asked with some confusion, "What's wrong, husband? Did something happen to Zhu Zi's family?"

"Hmph, what could possibly happen? Their family is doing very well now, and He Yuzhu has become quite capable," Yi Zhonghai sneered.

Upon hearing this, the older woman frowned and looked at Yi Zhonghai with some confusion.

As her husband of several decades, Yi Zhonghai knew what she wanted to ask as soon as he saw her like this, so he told her what had just happened.

Upon hearing this, the older woman looked at Yi Zhonghai with some displeasure: "You, you, our relationship is just starting to improve, why are you bringing this up again?"

"Did we have any conflict with their family? There's nothing wrong with them. I just wanted him to take better care of the old lady in the backyard. Look at He Yuzhu's attitude!" Yi Zhonghai said with dissatisfaction, turning to walk back.

Upon seeing this, an older woman quickly followed up, saying, "Old Yi, don't blame He Yuzhu for disliking you. Think about it yourself, these kinds of things always require people to do them willingly. How can you expect him to do something like this?"

"Oh, so you're blaming me after all?" Yi Zhonghai's dissatisfied voice rose several octaves.

The older woman wasn't about to indulge her husband. She pulled him to sit at the table and said, "Old Yi, think about it. How many days have they had a good life? They haven't bought anything new. Even the clothes Yushui is wearing now, I saw them before, are old clothes that have been altered to be bigger."

The old woman's words only made Yi Zhonghai angrier. He couldn't help but slam his hand on the table and said angrily, "What do you know? Do you think I'm such an unreasonable person? I saw He Yuzhu helping someone prepare a feast today and brought back two dishes. I thought I'd take a little of one of the dishes to give to the old lady in the backyard. What's wrong with that?"

"You, you, you always take your anger out on me." Yi Zhonghai's slamming of the table didn't frighten the old lady, but it made her feel a little sad.

After slamming his fist on the table, Yi Zhonghai regretted it. After all, the main conflict wasn't with her. But Yi Zhonghai's chauvinistic nature prevented him from saying an apology.

An older woman gently wiped her wet eyes with a handkerchief and said to Yi Zhonghai, "Those two kids are doing a little better now, so don't go looking for them. We can just buy some nice things and send them to the old lady in the backyard ourselves."

Yi Zhonghai remained silent for a long while before saying, "Whether I give it to him or not, I just wanted to ask. The main thing is that Zhu Zi actually wants me to lend him money."

An older woman looked at Yi Zhonghai with some surprise: "Borrow money? What does Zhuzi need money for? Isn't he at work now?"

Yi Zhonghai repeated He Yuzhu's words in a gruff voice, concluding, "Look at this, is this acceptable?!"

"Hey, Lao Yi, don't be angry. Zhu Zi is just like that, you know that. Besides, it's not a big deal. If Zhu Zi really needs to borrow money, just lend it to him."

, "

"I can't lend it to you. Apart from the money for your medicine, I'll keep all the other money as our retirement fund."

"Old Yi, don't be like this. We're already getting old, what's there to fuss about? Besides, you can't take money with you when you die, enough is enough."

But the old lady's words clearly did not change Yi Zhonghai's mind.

It can be said that Yi Zhonghai has always been like this, valuing money very much.

Even at this moment, Yi Zhonghai did not understand what He Yuzhu's attitude was.

Back home, He Yushui saw He Yuzhu and asked, somewhat puzzled, "Brother, do you urgently need money?"

He Yuzhu knew immediately that He Yushui had overheard his conversation with Yi Zhonghai, but probably only partially understood it. So he explained, "No, I was just saying, your brother is rich."

"Oh, that's good." He Yushui nodded. After all, her brother had been giving her money every now and then, so she just found it strange that her brother would borrow money from Yi Zhonghai.

"Alright, let's ignore that old bastard Yi Zhonghai. Look what I brought back today." He Yuzhu changed the subject and took out a lunchbox from the bag.

Upon seeing the two lunchboxes, He Yushui's eyes lit up immediately, and she couldn't wait to go to the kitchen to get two pairs of chopsticks.

Upon opening the lunchbox, He Yushui found a meat dish and a vegetable dish laid out before her.

This is different from He Yuzhu cooking at the steel rolling mill. At the steel rolling mill, if he took more things, he wouldn't take advantage of ordinary people; at most, he would only take advantage of government employees.

But if he sits outside, he gets a lot of benefits, but he's really just taking advantage of ordinary people. He Yuzhu wouldn't do something like that.

But this is already very good. Not only do we have money, but we also have food. What more can we say?

At least He Yushui and He Yuzhu both enjoyed their meal very much.

After finishing her meal, He Yushui obediently went to wash the lunchbox clean.

The next day, He Yuzhu went to work early as usual.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, so going earlier means it won't be as hot.

After a busy lunch break, I finally managed to find time to rest before lunchtime.

"It's so hot today," He Yuzhu remarked.

Old Ma also walked over and sat down next to He Yuzhu, panting heavily, and nodded in agreement.

Just then, He Yuzhu saw a number of workers in the distance carrying lunch boxes, but instead of coming directly to his canteen, they went to another place.

"Old Ma, look over there." He Yuzhu nudged Old Ma, who was sitting next to him, and gestured for him to look in that direction.

Old Ma looked in the direction He Yuzhu was pointing and asked, "What's going on over there?"

He Yuzhu was somewhat speechless and said, "I'm asking you what all those people went over there to do?"

As soon as He Yuzhu finished speaking, Lao Ma looked at him with a strange expression.

Looking at He Yuzhu, somewhat puzzled and confused, he asked, "What's wrong, Lao Ma? Why are you looking at me like that?"

.

Old Ma shook his head and said with a smile, "It's nothing, I just didn't know you'd been in this factory for so long, you don't even know where those places are."

When Lao Ma said that, He Yuzhu became curious. Without waiting for Lao Ma to say anything, he grabbed a lunchbox and strolled over to that place.
