Chapter 60: Is Silly Pillar Pretty Good?
The middle courtyard, the He family's house, the side room.
When Yu Haitang arrived, He Yushui had already made the bed.
"Haitang, why are you so late?"
He Yushui thought Yu Haitang would arrive here soon, but she was much later than expected, which made her sleepy.
"Rainwater, let me tell you something!"
Yu Haitang immediately told He Yushui what she had for dinner, "I really didn't expect that my brother-in-law, who looks like a roughneck, would be so nice!"
"Are you kidding me?"
He Yushui squinted at Yu Haitang, "Just because I let you eat a nice meal, you say he's good? If you're going to say that, then my brother is even better!"
"Your brother...?"
Yu Haitang immediately thought of Sha Zhu.
She looks way too mature!
"Haitang, my brother is the head chef at the steel mill; his cooking skills are amazing!"
"How about you try being my sister-in-law?"
He Yushui was also a little anxious about her older brother remaining single.
Originally, she hadn't thought about bringing Yu Haitang and Sha Zhu together, but Yu Haitang's performance just now made her feel that it wasn't impossible to try. After all, He Yushui really thought her brother was amazing.
Yu Haitang thought about He Yushui's previous life and seemed shocked. She quickly said, "Yushui, let's forget about it. I like to eat, but I've never thought about having a chef as a boyfriend!"
"I won't harm your brother anymore!"
Yu Haitang is quite confident in her appearance.
Upon hearing this, He Yushui sighed and said, "Haitang, my brother is really a good person!"
"Forget it, I'm really not cut out for it!"
If Yu Haitang weren't worried that her words would hurt He Yushui's pride, she would have asked He Yushui, "Since your brother is so good, why doesn't he care about you much?"
However, saying this might make He Yushui feel that she was trying to sow discord between the siblings.
Yu Haitang is indeed carefree, but she's not entirely brainless.
"Haitang, your family has no objections to your sister being tricked into marriage by the Yan family?"
"My family doesn't know yet!"
Yu Haitang felt a headache coming on at the thought. "If I hadn't come with you today, I wouldn't have known my brother-in-law had changed!"
"Rain, do you think I should tell my family about this?"
"Let's not say anything!"
He Yushui thought for a moment, then spoke softly, "You said yourself that your brother-in-law is a good person. Maybe your sister and brother-in-law already have plans. If you go back and say something carelessly, and it causes trouble, then your sister and brother-in-law will blame you, and you'll be in trouble!"
"That's what I think too!"
Yu Haitang chuckled, "But I think my parents definitely won't have any complaints about me as their brother-in-law. He even found my sister a proper job at a food factory!"
"By the way, Rainwater, we're graduating soon, and there's no hope for university anymore. What are your job plans?"
"It's probably a cotton mill!"
He Yushui looked slightly uncomfortable. "It's not decided yet. What about you? What are your plans?"
"I haven't decided yet!"
"Working in a cotton mill is too tiring; I don't think I can do it!"
"I told my brother-in-law to help me find an easy, low-stress, and clean job, even if the pay is low!"
"I wonder if he can help me find it!"
Thinking about this, Yu Haitang's mood became somewhat unsettled.
Where can you find such a good job so easily?
Her sister's job at the food factory was easy, but she couldn't very well take her sister's job!
In fact, Yu Haitang had another option.
Yang Weimin, who had been pursuing her, said he could help her get a job as a broadcaster in the propaganda department of the steel rolling mill.
This job is very easy.
However, Yu Haitang was also very clear about what accepting this job meant.
Yang Weimin was fairly good-looking and treated her well, but Yu Haitang just felt a little uncomfortable. She always felt that if things continued this way, their relationship would just be a transaction, no longer a pure love.
Of course, in Yu Haitang's view, Yang Weimin's actions were clearly coercing her, not simply showing her kindness.
If Shen Zhishou knew what Yu Haitang was thinking, he would only say she was being pretentious.
What is love?
That's just the whining of someone who hasn't yet experienced the harsh realities of society!
Once they've been beaten down by reality, they'll understand that loving someone is a joke!
……
Early the next morning.
Shen Zhishou woke up very early. Yu Li was quite brave last night. Although she was eventually defeated, she did give Shen Zhishou a good time.
As a result, Shen Zhishou was full of energy, but Yu Li was still fast asleep.
Shen Zhishou got up and made breakfast.
My sister-in-law might even come over for breakfast!
After the millet porridge started cooking, Shen Zhishou went to the water tap in the middle courtyard to wash up.
He Yushui and Yu Haitang were both there.
When Shen Zhishou came over carrying a bucket and toiletries, Yu Haitang obediently called him brother-in-law, while He Yushui politely called him "Brother Shen".
Shen Zhishou smiled and responded to the two of them, then called them over for breakfast later.
"Brother Shen, I don't need it. My brother can make breakfast too!"
He Yushui felt a little embarrassed, since they weren't familiar with each other.
Shen Zhishou smiled and said, "It's alright, I made a lot. How much can a little girl like you eat?"
"Since I arrived at the courtyard house, I haven't seen Master He make breakfast in the mornings!"
Although Sha Zhu often gets up relatively early in the morning, Shen Zhishou has never actually seen Sha Zhu make breakfast.
Moreover, Sha Zhu hasn't shown up yet today; he probably hasn't gotten up yet!
"Rain, let's go together!"
"Consider it my brother-in-law paying for my accommodation!"
Yu Haitang grabbed He Yushui's arm and muttered to herself.
He Yushui finally nodded in agreement.
Seeing this, Shen Zhishou smiled and said, "You guys go wash up and get ready first. Wait ten minutes, and you can eat!"
After giving his instructions, Shen Zhishou quickly washed up, filled a bucket with water, and returned to the main room, immediately waking up his wife.
When Yu Haitang and He Yushui come over later, who knows what they'll think if they see Yu Li still sleeping.
Most importantly, if his own wife felt embarrassed or ashamed, she might throw a tantrum at Shen Zhishou!
Upon hearing that Yu Haitang and He Yushui were coming over for breakfast, Yu Li was instantly wide awake and quickly got up and dressed.
Although He Yushui and Yu Haitang were guests, their breakfast was really not anything special.
Millet porridge, flatbreaded egg pancakes, and Liubiju pickles!
These Liu Bi Ju pickles were a stockpile that Shen Zhishou obtained from Sun Hu. There was quite a lot of them, and he kept them in his spatial storage so he could take them out whenever he wanted to eat them.
When Haitang led He Yushui over, they couldn't help but swallow hard when they saw the breakfast on the table.
This breakfast is so satisfying!
Fragrant egg pancakes, golden millet porridge, and appetizing pickles.
"Don't be shy, make yourself at home!"
As the hostess, Yu Li invited the two to sit down.
