Chapter 18 Home Cleaning
This money is He Daqing's child support for his daughter. When He Yushui receives the money, she will know that her father has not forgotten her.
He Yuzhu was not short of money at all, so he naturally handed it all over to He Yushui. He wanted her to know that He Daqing had always cared about her, his daughter.
He Yuzhu himself didn't want to get too involved with He Daqing, and he couldn't stop He Yushui from missing her father.
Having taken over the original owner's body, He Yuzhu will also fulfill his duties in his place.
With the money He Daqing sends every month, He Yushui is now a wealthy young woman, and He Yuzhu also gives her some pocket money from time to time.
Everyone says daughters should be raised in luxury, but He Yuzhu didn't understand the reasoning behind it. Everyone said so, so he just went with the flow.
The little girl also developed a good habit of saving money, and He Yuzhu specially bought her a one-foot-long iron box with a lock on it.
Every day before going to bed, He Yushui would open the box and count the money before she could fall asleep. He Daqing's departure left the little girl feeling insecure.
In the story, He Yushui found a local police officer, which is probably related to her lack of security in her childhood.
Perhaps he was heartbroken by the birds in the courtyard and wanted to find a policeman to back him up.
He Yuzhu's physical abilities have become exceptionally strong; after a year of transformation, the results are astonishing.
Sweep and mop the floor inside the house, upstairs and downstairs, then take out clothes, sheets, and duvet covers from the fully automatic washing machine and hang them to dry in the yard.
The old idiot Zhu had long hair and oily skin. This half-grown boy didn't know how to dress himself up; he was just lazy.
He Yuzhu now has a buzz cut and frequently washes his face and takes showers with soap to keep himself clean.
His skin has also become better and better. Now, no one who sees He Yuzhu would think he looks old.
Clothes, bed sheets, and duvet covers at home are changed every few days, and summer clothes are changed every day.
Many people get lice in their hair these days, including He Yuzhu and He Yushui.
Now, neither of them has that substance on them anymore; cleanliness is addictive. He Yushui feels uncomfortable if she doesn't shower for a day.
So the brother and sister always kept themselves clean and tidy, which made others feel good about them.
The neighbors who were waiting to see He Yuzhu and his sister make a fool of themselves are now finding it hard to accept. Why is a cook like you so fussy every day?
The better you two perform, the more it proves our incompetence.
Two kinds of herbs were planted in the space, which He Yuzhu ground into powder and made into sachets to hang in the house.
Not only can it prevent some insects and ants from invading the house, but the air also stays smelling nice.
These small changes, when added together, lead to an overall improvement. Not only will you feel better, but outsiders will also have a much better impression of you.
While the birds in the courtyard were intentionally or unintentionally ignoring Sha Zhu, the people in the alley saw it very clearly.
For a time, He Yuzhu's reputation actually showed signs of improvement. However, Luo Qiaoyun and Jia Zhangshi were also very shrewd. Seeing that no one was talking about He Yuzhu anymore, they launched a new publicity stunt.
This time, the rumors about Sha Zhu's ambiguous relationship with the neighbor's wife were added to the mix, showing that they still haven't given up on ruining He Yuzhu's marriage.
Jia Zhangshi always felt that Sha Zhu shouldn't get married, otherwise how could she live off the childless man?
Just like how Yi Zhonghai often wanted to teach Sha Zhu a lesson whenever he saw him, his intuition told him that Sha Zhu deserved to be teased by him like a dog being walked.
The better He Yuzhu was doing, the more unwilling they were to let him escape their control. They had painstakingly schemed to get rid of He Daqing, and if Sha Zhu also slipped out of their grasp, wouldn't all their efforts have been in vain?
In other words, Yi Zhonghai is no longer the liaison for the courtyard house and therefore cannot carry out his steward's plan.
Nowadays, Xu Fugui, Liu Haizhong, and Yan Bugui of the courtyard house would certainly not mention the old man in charge.
The main reason was that Yi Zhonghai and Luo Qiaoyun privately discussed that they should first become liaison officers before gradually introducing the title of "manager."
Who would have thought that He Yuzhu would sabotage Yi Zhonghai's election as liaison officer the very first moment?
Without the title of "big boss in charge," Yi Zhonghai can no longer interfere in other people's family affairs.
In the story, Yi Zhonghai was able to arbitrarily dispose of the birds because he was an eighth-grade worker and had the title of the steward of the courtyard.
Of course, Sha Zhu, the henchman, also played a crucial role. With Sha Zhu around, Yi Zhonghai could suppress those who dared to challenge him at any time.
It wasn't mentioned in the plot, but in reality, Sha Zhu had beaten up quite a few people; otherwise, the birds in the courtyard wouldn't have been so subservient to Yi Zhonghai.
Many tenants felt something was wrong with the courtyard house and chose to move out voluntarily. Those who couldn't move out were gradually brainwashed by Yi Zhonghai.
Taking advantage of not having to report to the steel mill, He Yuzhu went to buy a sewing machine today.
Naturally, this was witnessed by all the birds in the courtyard, sparking another heated discussion. Yan Bugui even specifically asked He Yuzhu if he would host a dinner party, only to be rebuffed by He Yuzhu.
Nowadays, the "three turns and one sound" (referring to a radio, a watch, a dial, and a speaker) are all ready except for the radio.
He Yuzhu made twelve sets of bedding, including new ones. He took out four sets, gave two sets each to He Yushui, and put the rest in the closet.
When I get married in the future, I will take out four sets of clothes, and He Yushui will give four sets of clothes as a dowry when she gets married.
He Yuzhu was stockpiling these things in advance so that he wouldn't have to ask for help in the future.
He Yuzhu also planned to buy He Yushui a women's watch and a bicycle before 55 years ago.
The main focus is on being prepared and planning ahead.
He Yuzhu was busy in the yard, and Qin Huairu saw this and hurriedly came over to help.
"Zhu Zi, let me help you dry them."
"No need, Sister Jia, I'll have it ready right away."
"Hey, why are you being so polite with me?"
He Yuzhu immediately raised his hand to stop the other party from making contact.
"Okay, I said I don't need it."
After He Yuzhu finished speaking, he quickly hung the remaining clothes on the clothes rack, and then carried the basin into the house.
As the door closed, Qin Huairu's face quickly darkened.
He Yuzhu's refusal made Qin Huairu realize that her schemes were completely ineffective.
This was the first time Qin Huairu's beauty had failed to attract men.
The women sitting in the courtyard basking in the sun looked at each other and chuckled, covering their mouths. They had been watching the spectacle for a while, and Luo Qiaoyun could only turn her head and go back into the house, pretending not to see it.
After Qin Huairu married into the courtyard house, she captivated all the men there.
At first, everyone was puzzled by the sudden increase in the men's diligence, as they were always fetching water or washing clothes.
Later they discovered that they had all come to the court to see the young wife. This infuriated the group of tigresses; if it weren't for the men's pride, those men would probably have been bruised and battered.
Qin Huairu naturally knew that she was the center of attention in the village. However, as a beautiful woman, Qin Huairu knew how to handle this situation.
She didn't need to do anything; those men didn't even have the courage to talk to her.
If there's someone she wants to get to know, she can naturally build a closer relationship with them at any time.
In just a few days, Qin Huairu had thoroughly understood the situation of everyone in the courtyard.
In the entire courtyard, there were actually only a few people who met her requirements.
Xu Fugui, Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong, and He Yuzhu, among whom He Yuzhu is the youngest.
Qin Huairu would definitely not choose a young man over an old one.
But now it seems that her charm is not showing up at all with He Yuzhu.
When Jia Zhangshi saw this scene from inside the house, she shook her head helplessly.
Even as a woman, Jia Zhangshi thought Qin Huairu was indeed beautiful.
This is also why she was so afraid that Qin Huairu would cheat on her son. But when she encountered Sha Zhu, Qin Huairu's charm had no chance to shine.
Jia Zhangshi didn't really want anything to happen between Qin Huairu and He Yuzhu.
If Qin Huairu could gain benefits from He Yuzhu simply by letting the other party take advantage, Jia Zhangshi would not object.
But now it seems they were overthinking things. Sha Zhu clearly doesn't understand women at all; he's still just a clueless kid.
Qin Huairu's actions were like counting money in front of a blind man—a complete waste of time.
When Qin Huairu returned to the room, she was startled to see Jia Zhangshi staring intently at her.
"Mom, I didn't do anything!"
"I saw it. Tell Sha Zhu not to act like a flirt. He's just a silly boy who doesn't understand the appeal of beautiful women. You should try to show him some concern like a caring older sister."
For the first time, Qin Huairu began to look at this wicked mother-in-law with new respect.
She had always thought her mother-in-law was a despicable and wicked woman, but she never expected her to be so cunning.
"Hmph, why are you looking at me like that? You don't think I'm just good for throwing tantrums, do you?"
Qin Huairu didn't dare to answer, even though she had actually thought so before.
"We are a widow and her children. If I weren't tough, how could we support our family? We would have been taken advantage of long ago."
This was the first time that Madam Jia and Qin Huairu had a proper heart-to-heart talk, and it was also the first time that Qin Huairu had received instruction from Madam Jia.
The vampire white lotus is slowly evolving, while He Yuzhu is still fast asleep in the room.
I haven't had time to rest for a long time, but now I can finally relax for a few days.
It's only Saturday today, and I've already made an appointment with Lou Bancheng to report to the steel rolling mill next Monday.
Fengzeyuan basically has to work every day, which is why He Yuzhu likes to work in the factory.
At least the factory gives us one day off a week. We can't have a two-day weekend, but a single day off is fine too.
He Yuzhu came to this era to enjoy life. He didn't want to be busy making contributions; otherwise, his trip would have been in vain.
He Yushui was surprised to see her older brother at home when she returned at noon.
"Brother, you're home? Didn't you go to work today?"
"Yes, my older brother resigned."
"Oh, what happened to my brother?"
"No, I'm going to work at the steel rolling mill next Monday. Don't tell anyone yet. Wait until I finish reporting before making it public."
"Okay, I understand."
He Yushui was very clever; she knew that there were many things she couldn't say in the courtyard.
He Yuzhu trusted He Yushui completely in this regard, and it was not convenient for the things they usually ate to be revealed.
So far, He Yushui has kept it a secret, which is why He Yuzhu doesn't hide anything from her either.
