Courtyard House: My Wife is Xu Huizhen

Page 36

He Yuzhu was very happy; this money was really good.

However, He Yuzhu is not the kind of person without principles; he cannot put this kind of money into his own pocket.

One cannot live without a bottom line.

No matter how badly I live, I would never resort to cheating or deception to make a living.

They were willing to take the money from Yi Zhonghai and Xu Wude, but they never thought of spending a single penny on themselves.

They have so much money saved up, but they don't even think about donating it. Well then, He Yuzhu won't stand on ceremony.

In order to enable the arsenal to produce one more bullet and the soldiers on the front lines to eliminate one more enemy, He Yuzhu did not mind donating the money.

When He Zhu received the money from Yi Zhonghai, he immediately thought about where to spend it.

He wanted to donate all the money. Since he had come to this era and there was a war on the front lines, He Yuzhu naturally wanted to do his part.

Just as I was thinking about how to donate the money, I turned through the moon gate and saw a figure standing by the roadside.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be bangs.

"Uncle Liu, what are you doing standing here? You startled me."

Liu Haizhong said awkwardly, "Did I scare you? I need to talk to you about something."

"Even if something happens, you can't just stand here."

He Yuzhu muttered to himself, then invited Liu Haizhong into the house.

He Yushui fetched water to wash herself, without needing He Yuzhu's intervention.

He Yuzhu poured him some boiled water and asked, "What can I do for you, sir?"

Liu Haizhong said apologetically, "Zhuzi, I was still a bit confused this morning and spoke without thinking, please don't take it to heart."

He Yuzhu was somewhat surprised; he hadn't expected Liu Haizhong to say such a thing.

From her arrogant attitude this morning, she made a complete 180-degree turn and her tone became somewhat ingratiating.

Has he figured it out?

He Yuzhu said, "What's done is done, why would I blame you?"

However, he made up his mind to say a few bad things about Liu Haizhong to Tian Zao later.

If he does nothing, most of the students in Liu Haizhong will become the big shots in the School of Management, and Xu Wude will definitely be eliminated.

It wouldn't be good if I took the money and didn't do the job.

We should say a few more words for Xu Wude, and try to bring down Liu Haizhong so that Xu Wude can successfully take over.

As for whether he would retaliate against him after becoming the manager, that's just wishful thinking on his part.

He Yuzhu maintained an attitude of not provoking others, not standing out, and not bullying anyone in the courtyard.

But if they think they are kind and can be bullied, then I will definitely teach them a lesson.

Liu Haizhong asked with some curiosity, "I heard that Lao Yi lent you money?"

How did you know about this?

Upon hearing He Yuzhu's question, Liu Haizhong guessed that the matter was indeed true.

When I first heard it, I couldn't quite believe that Lao Yi would be so despicable as to secretly spend such a large sum of money on Sha Zhu.

But if you calm down and think about it, it's still quite possible.

"Never mind that, how do I know? I also know he lent you 100."

"you..."

He Yuzhu took a deep breath and smiled wryly, "Who spread the word so quickly? How did they know in just two days?"

Liu Haizhong asked again, "Old Xu invited you to dinner today, it's not just for dinner, is it?"

He Yuzhu shook his head: "Of course it wasn't just about eating, Uncle Xu also lent me 100 yuan."

Although he only borrowed 50 yuan, He Yuzhu didn't mind exaggerating the amount; otherwise, how could he get more money from Liu Haizhong?

"Is Old Xu working this hard?"

Old Yi earns a high salary and can easily take out 100 yuan. Xu Wude's salary is much lower. If it weren't for his movie projection skills, he wouldn't earn more than 30 yuan a month.

Xu Wude was able to grit his teeth and take out 100 yuan, which was somewhat unexpected by Liu Haizhong.

I thought he would give less; fifty or sixty yuan would already be a lot.

Now Liu Haizhong felt a bit awkward.

It's easy for Yi Zhonghai to take 100 yuan; I can understand that.

You, Xu Wude, only earn 30 yuan a month, why are you working so hard?

Wouldn't it be better to keep that money and buy meat to eat?

Why take out 100 yuan?

What am I going to do now? My salary isn't as much as Lao Yi's, but it's still higher than Xu Wude's.

If Xu Wude could grit his teeth and take out 100 yuan, wouldn't he be looked down upon by Sha Zhu if he didn't get enough in order to become the manager?

Chapter 49 No need to rush, there's still a hundred yuan left.

Liu Haizhong asked, "Zhuzi, your life must be quite difficult. Your father didn't leave you any money when he passed away, and you still need to build a house."

"Yes, I'm already 16 this year, and I'll be going on blind dates soon. I'll also need to renovate the house for my wedding, and money will be needed everywhere. I'm worried that I won't be able to make ends meet."

“I can’t just abandon you. I’ll lend you a hundred yuan to help you through this difficult time so you can get married and start a family soon.”

"Thank you so much, sir. You really saved my life."

Liu Haizhong had prepared a considerable amount of money, which was placed in his pockets. He just didn't know how much money he would need to settle this matter, which was why he had the money in such a way.

Although 100 yuan is a lot of money, Liu Haizhong is willing to go all out in order to become a big shot in the School of Management and experience the thrill of being an official.

Liu Haizhong was very happy. Since He Yuzhu had accepted his money, he should have a place in the manager's position.

He Yuzhu was also happy, as this would increase the donation amount by 100 yuan tomorrow.

Although this amount of money may not be of much help to the front lines, it is still a token of my goodwill.

My abilities are limited, and this is all I can do.

I'll sell the fish later and donate some of it, since donating 250 yuan doesn't sound very good.

Money is just a few pieces of paper to me. Standing on the bridge over the moat, I can catch fish worth tens of dollars in no time.

In my past life, I admired soldiers who protected our country the most. I cherish my life and cannot go to the front line, but I can still donate some money.

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Liu Haizhong took his leave, humming a little tune as he walked back.

He Yuzhu was overjoyed as he lay in bed. He had just gotten 250 yuan, which he could donate and do a lot of things.

The next morning, I got up very early, made breakfast, took the hook scale, and went out with He Yushui.

First, I took her to school, then I carried a sack and a scale into the market.

This is the vegetable market in Beiluoguxiang, north of Gulou Street. There is also a small vegetable market near Nanluoguxiang, but the neighbors in the courtyard houses don't come here to buy vegetables.

Carrying a sack of fish, I randomly picked a stall, and as soon as I set it up, people gathered around.

"Comrade, how much are your carp?"

"Two cents a pound."

"Give me one."

At this time, there weren't many people selling fish, since no one was farming them; everyone was fishing or catching fish with nets, so the daily supply was limited.

He Yuzhu's fish stall has been consistently filled with customers ever since it was set up.

By the time the whole sack of fish was sold, it was only a little past 8 o'clock.

He Yuzhu had just left the market with his scale and sack, and before he could find a chance to put the items into his spatial dimension, he ran into Tian Zao again.

"He Yuzhu, what a coincidence! I keep running into you everywhere. What are you doing here?"

The final question, of course, is why a cook goes to work carrying a sack and a hook scale.

He Yuzhu said, "What a coincidence! I caught a few fish last night and brought them here to sell."

"Oh, I see. Looks like you're pretty good at fishing."

"good."

He Yuzhu didn't intend to delve into the topic, and after exchanging a few polite words, he wanted to go to work.

Tian Zao said, "Now that I've run into you, I'd like to ask about things in your compound."

In Tian Zao's view, He Yuzhu is a kind-hearted person for donating money even though he is just an apprentice.

What he says should be fair and impartial.

"Okay, I'd also like to tell you about the situation."

Historically, if they hadn't intervened, Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong, and Yan Bugui would have been the big shots in charge of the college.
