Chapter 76 Welcoming the Bride
In He Yuzhu's memory, Yi Zhonghai was the kind of player who only talked the talk but never walked the walk.
Yi Zhonghai was willing to take advantage of the situation, but he naturally wouldn't do anything to help Yan Bugui.
Unless the other party repays him with a mountain of gold, someone who expects a mountain of gold in return for even a simple cornbread, how could he possibly go to the trouble of helping you?
What was a huge deal for Yan Bugui's family was something Yi Zhonghai couldn't possibly empathize with.
He even hoped the Yan family would suffer more misfortune; otherwise, if Yan Bugui were doing well, why would he, like Yi Zhonghai, scheme to take care of others in their old age?
According to the plot, the retirement plan designated by Yi Zhonghai for the deaf old lady is quite extensive.
In the future, Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui will both be part of the retirement plan.
But now Yi Zhonghai certainly wouldn't dare to tell Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui that their son was unfilial.
After all, crows can't see their own blackness. In Liu Haizhong's case, Yan Bugui's family has three sons.
If you tell them now that none of your three sons will be filial in the future, Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui will definitely fight you to the death.
This really requires a bit of an omniscient perspective; otherwise, if you were in the situation, who would have thought that with so many children from both families, they would end up relying on a neighbor to support them in their old age?
Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu waited until everyone had left before going to Yi Zhonghai's house to comfort their master.
The courtyard was too chaotic just now; Qin Huairu, being pregnant, certainly wouldn't dare to come out and see what was going on.
Yi Zhonghai's expression brightened when he saw Qin Huairu and Jia Dongxu enter.
In his mind, Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu were their chosen ones to take care of him in his old age. With them supervising their son-in-law and keeping each other in check, Yi Zhonghai could retire in peace.
Seeing that the two people had taken the initiative to come and show their concern for him, Yi Zhonghai was naturally very happy. This showed that his apprentice and his wife were both very filial.
In Yi Zhonghai's mind, he never considered the elderly people's jobs or abilities; as long as they were filial, that was enough.
If we really send him away, what does it matter to him whether the elderly person will have to beg for food in the future?
The deaf old lady was the same; she called him her eldest grandson so affectionately. Even though Sha Zhu was almost childless, she hadn't helped him find a wife.
He has someone to take care of him in his old age and see him off when he dies. Has anyone considered what will happen to Sha Zhu when he gets old?
Although the TV series ended happily, the fate of Sha Zhu was, of course, predictable.
He Yuzhu had already treated Yi Zhonghai, the deaf old lady, and Jia Zhangshi as enemies since he transmigrated.
There's nothing wrong with what you do when dealing with enemies. He Yuzhu felt especially happy to see them suffering.
"Master, I wanted to go up and help just now, but Huairu was there, so I was only focused on protecting her."
"Dongxu, it's alright. Huairu's health is more important now. Master is fine."
Although Yi Zhonghai was in pain all over and his face was burning, he still had to pretend to be fine in front of his apprentice and his apprentice's wife.
Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu spent a long time comforting Yi Zhonghai inside the house before leaving.
The two of them are quite adept at putting on a show; if they really cared about their master, they wouldn't have even bought him a gift.
Luo Qiaoyun looked at Yi Zhonghai's moved expression and was speechless. She had just seen a lot of things.
"Actually, Qin Huairu and Jia Dongxu didn't come out just now. When I went to find the old lady to save you, I saw them inside the house."
Yi Zhonghai was somewhat unhappy. Luo Qiaoyun's words revealed some things, making him realize that Jia Dongxu was not so honest after all.
However, for the sake of his retirement plans, Yi Zhonghai could not afford to fall out with the other party.
Jia Dongxu has always occupied a significant place in Yi Zhonghai's retirement plan. Ever since he was selected by Yi Zhonghai a few years ago, he has believed that Yi is the person who best suits his retirement needs.
Including Qin Huairu, if Yi Zhonghai didn't have a high opinion of this young couple, he wouldn't have kept using Sha Zhu to help Qin Huairu in the plot.
Of course, Yi Zhonghai still harbors the wicked desire to seduce Qin Huairu, after all, Qin Huairu is becoming more and more charming.
However, Qin Huairu was no longer giving him a chance. Yi Zhonghai had tried to test her, but Qin Huairu was very resolute.
On one hand, Yi Zhonghai felt he hadn't misjudged Qin Huairu, but on the other hand, he was somewhat unwilling to accept it. It was precisely because of this that Yi Zhonghai wouldn't truly get angry with Qin Huairu.
After all, she was his white moonlight, and no one knew how important Qin Huairu was in Yi Zhonghai's heart.
Even if Qin Huairu does something heartless to Yi Zhonghai, he won't be angry.
Luo Qiaoyun guessed some of the reasons and knew that Yi Zhonghai wasn't exactly an honest man. She just hadn't expected him to be so infatuated; no matter what others said, his feelings for Qin Huairu remained unchanged.
Even Jia Dongxu has now become Qin Huairu's tool.
Rather than saying Yi Zhonghai favored Jia Dongxu to be his caretaker, it's more accurate to say he favored Qin Huairu, and Jia Dongxu was merely a tool to provide her with resources.
Qin Huairu had long anticipated Yi Zhonghai's plans, and she was also quite adept at acting. With He Yuzhu's backing, Qin Huairu could calmly devise other schemes.
Qin Huairu also has her own understanding of providing for Yi Zhonghai's retirement.
If the other party is willing to give you all their assets, then just make sure they have enough to eat when they get old so they don't starve.
In addition, Yi Zhonghai also has a pension, so he certainly can't spend all the food he eats. As for washing, cleaning, and tidying up, it's normal to do that once a month if not once a week.
As for Yi Zhonghai's hope that Qin Huairu would treat him like her own parents, he's just overthinking it.
Qin Huairu may seem diligent, but she only enjoys tidying up her own home. Even the Jia family isn't as diligent these days; on the contrary, the Fuxiang Hutong is spotless every day.
He Yuzhu arranged for He Yushui to clean the house and put up the "double happiness" characters early this morning. Li Xiaoman and Zhang Panpan will also be coming over.
Including Li Tieniu's wife and Zhang Xiaoquan's wife, these things were all told to them by He Yuzhu when he went to their homes that morning.
The two families naturally didn't object, even though He Yuzhu hadn't told them beforehand. However, they understood He Yuzhu's concerns about staying here.
There aren't many good people in the courtyard. If you tell them beforehand, who knows what kind of trouble might arise. Even when they're arranging a marriage for their son, they'll have to bury all the birds in the courtyard.
He Yushui had known for a few days that her older brother was getting married, and she was very curious about her sister-in-law whom she had never met.
Unfortunately, her elder brother never brought her to the courtyard house, so He Yushui could only learn about her through her brother's descriptions.
He Yushui was happy about her older brother getting married, but she was also worried about whether the other party would like her.
He Daqing's departure actually hurt He Yushui. Fortunately, He Yuzhu was very understanding and had already told He Yushui that he would never abandon his sister.
The older sister-in-law will treat her well; if not, she can be replaced.
When He Yushui heard her older brother say this, regardless of whether it was true or not, it at least showed that her brother's love for her had not changed.
He Yushui was sad for two days, but she quickly regained her cheerful demeanor. As long as her older brother still liked her, she wasn't afraid.
He Yuzhu, dressed in a brand-new Zhongshan suit, startled all the birds in the courtyard as soon as he stepped out.
When Li Tieniu and Zhang Xiaoquan's families came to help in the morning, everyone learned that He Yuzhu was getting married.
Yi Zhonghai smashed a cup inside the house. The deaf old lady, leaning on her cane, looked around at the He family's door for a long time before finally going back inside in despair.
Now that He Yuzhu has gone to pick up the bride, no matter how many ideas they have, there's nothing they can do to stop him.
They had been planning for so long, always thinking that as long as they ruined He Yuzhu's reputation, it would be difficult for him to find a wife.
Even the deaf old lady, Yi Zhonghai had already planned that when He Yuzhu's date came to the courtyard, they would take turns to sabotage He Yuzhu's blind date.
They still didn't believe that the other party would be completely indifferent to He Yuzhu, whose reputation was ruined.
That's a good idea; He Yuzhu does have a bad reputation. The problem is, they're getting married soon, and they don't even know where the bride is from.
We set off by car in the morning, and it wasn't until a little after nine o'clock when we arrived at Wangjiazhuang Commune.
"The groom has arrived."
He Yuzhu was spotted as soon as he got out of the car.
People kept offering their congratulations along the way, and He Yuzhu casually took out some wedding cigarettes and candies from his bag and handed them out.
The Liu family, including Liu Dazhi, Wang Cuilan, grandparents, Liu Yuchun, and Liu Yuchun's husband, also came today.
Liu Yulan, Liu Yuqiu, Liu Yuju, and Liu Dawei also laughed along.
Liu Yuchun's husband is named Zhang Ming, and he and He Yuzhu have only met once.
He was a farmer in the village, while the other person was a cadre.
Zhang Ming only found out later that his wife had almost married He Yuzhu. If it weren't for their age difference, they would be a couple now.
Perhaps for this reason, Zhang Ming would occasionally beat or scold Liu Yuchun out of jealousy.
Zhang Ming could sense Liu Yuchun's contempt for him, which infuriated the chauvinistic Zhang Ming.
His family is clearly considered capable in their own village, so why should Liu Yuchun look down on them?
That is to say, he is not from the city, which is why he did not become an official; otherwise, he would definitely have been a cadre.
Zhang Ming also came today, only because Liu Yuchun threatened to divorce him. Regardless of the nature of their conflict, his absence today would have easily led to gossip among the villagers.
Besides, He Yuzhu never did anything to hurt him; it was all Zhang Ming's own imagination.
When He Yuzhu appeared, Zhang Ming was filled with regret. He shouldn't have come over first; now he'd probably be in an even more awkward situation later.
He wore a light green Zhongshan suit, was 1.83 meters tall, and had a handsome face.
Having managed the guesthouse for a long time, he naturally carried an inexplicable air of officialdom about him.
Coupled with the confidence brought by He Yuzhu's top-notch culinary skills, he always appeared calm and composed when waving his hand or talking to people.
Even the brigade leader of Wangjiazhuang Commune would unconsciously lower his head when facing He Yuzhu.
He Yuzhu mainly helped the village sell goods to the steel rolling mill and also helped the village solve many problems.
This is why Liu Dazhi can be proud in the village now. After all, his son-in-law is capable of helping the village make money, so who wouldn't want to curry favor with him?
