Courtyard House: My Wife is Xu Huizhen

Page 643

Du Weixiang muttered to herself, a look of disbelief gradually appearing on her face.

Seeing this, He Yuzhu quickly pressed his advantage and continued to persuade him:

"Yes, so from now on, you must keep a happy mood and never get angry easily, otherwise it will affect the healthy growth of the fetus in your womb."

"Just because I'm pregnant, you actually slept with my own sister behind my back?"

Du Weixiang trembled with rage. She glared at the man before her, her voice sharp and shrill with fury.

“I’ve always known clearly that I’m just someone you’ve captured. I don’t care at all about you going to see other women, and I have no right to care. But that woman is my own sister! How could you be so heartless as to do such an unforgivable thing!”

Chapter 444 Bank Run

Before this, although Du Weixiang had some vague suspicions, when this shameful and disgraceful affair was truly laid bare before her, she still felt as if she had been struck by lightning.

Faced with Du Weixiang's questioning, He Yuzhu gave an awkward smile, scratching his head as he tried to explain:

"Oh dear, that day was purely an accident! I had a few too many drinks and my mind was a bit hazy. I mistook her for you, which is why... Now that it's already happened, we can't just abandon her like this, after all, she's your sister too!"

However, Du Weixiang was clearly not satisfied with He Yuzhu's weak explanation. She snorted coldly and turned her head away, refusing to look at him again.

"Okay, okay, baby, don't hold it in anymore. Getting angry is bad for your health. Your most important task right now is to adjust your mindset and focus on your pregnancy. You absolutely must not get angry like you did just now."

Seeing that Du Weixiang was still angry, He Yuzhu quickly stepped forward and gently coaxed her.

"You're such a bad guy!"

Du Weixiang huffed and puffed out a curse, then reached out and gently stroked her slightly protruding belly.

Looking back on countless fantasies of giving birth to a lovely baby for He Yuzhu, after a long wait, her dream has finally come true and she is pregnant.

But who could have imagined that something so heartbreaking would happen at this critical juncture, making it impossible for her to be happy at all?

He Yuzhu looked at Du Weixiang and said earnestly:

“Honey, don’t worry about anything right now, just relax and prepare for childbirth. As for where to give birth, staying in this bustling Hong Kong is no problem, and if you miss home, you can go back to our hometown.”

Du Weixiang listened to his words, but her heart was filled with helplessness. She glared at He Yuzhu and replied irritably:

"Hmph! Let me know when I'm sure I'm really pregnant."

Seeing this, He Yuzhu wasn't angry at all; instead, he chuckled. He leaned closer to Du Weixiang and whispered words of comfort:

“Honey, you have to think of it this way: our child will definitely be born before your sister’s child. Then your child will be an older brother or sister, and as an older sister, you won’t be at a disadvantage at all.”

Du Weixiang stomped her feet in anger and scolded playfully:

"You shameless scoundrel!"

However, He Yuzhu didn't take it to heart and sweet-talked her several more times, so the matter was temporarily put aside.

The next morning, sunlight streamed into the room through the window. When Du Guanghe saw He Yuzhu, a hint of resentment appeared on his face.

He Yuzhu was so clever that he guessed the reason without much thought—Du Guanghe must have learned today that his little granddaughter had become his woman.

He Yuzhu cleared his throat and spoke to Du Guanghe:

"Old Du, you should be happy! Ah Xiang is now pregnant with my child, and I will certainly not mistreat you and your grandson in the future."

However, Du Guanghe merely glanced at him coldly and responded in a completely emotionless tone:

"Oh? Is that so? Then I really have to thank you properly, young master!"

There was absolutely no hint of gratitude in his words.

He Yuzhu had no intention of delving into what the other person was really thinking. He simply said calmly:

"That piece of land in North Point has now been confirmed as ours. You should go and find out whose territory that area is. If they are sensible and obedient, that would be great; but if they are disrespectful and refuse to comply, then there's no need to be polite with them, just seize the land directly!"

In fact, at the very beginning, He Yuzhu had considered paying some money as a gift to settle the matter peacefully.

However, times have changed, and he is now a completely different person. He is not only incredibly wealthy but also extremely powerful, especially with capable henchmen like Du Guanghe by his side.

If that's the case, why should he bow down and pay money to those gangsters?

It would be better to directly instruct Du Guanghe to seize the territory by force. In this way, wherever he occupies the territory, the entire area will belong to He Yuzhu alone.

You have to understand that these days there are plenty of people who don't pay the so-called "membership fee" to the underworld, so He Yuzhu was naturally unwilling to be the sucker.

Upon hearing He Yuzhu's instructions, Du Guanghe opened his mouth slightly, but the words he was about to say remained unspoken.

It was because he had a real, unspeakable bitterness in his heart—he only had two precious granddaughters, but now both of them had become He Yuzhu's women.

Are you suggesting he shamelessly ask He Yuzhu to marry his granddaughter?

What if we actually do that and He Yuzhu turns his back on us on the spot?

Thinking of this, Du Guanghe had no choice but to swallow back the words that were about to come out, and then silently nodded in response:

"Okay, then I'll go talk to them today."

After all, his current status was rather awkward. He had once been a prisoner! Being able to regain his freedom was like a windfall, a stroke of good fortune from his ancestors! Not only that, but he also had to act as He Yuzhu's right-hand man, eliminating those unruly and disobedient hostile forces for him.

While pondering these matters, Du Guanghe asked:

“I’ve had some apprentices and grand-apprentices before. Why don’t you ask them to come and lend a hand?”

He Yuzhu readily agreed to the suggestion, stating:

“Sure, no problem! Anyway, all the money collected will be yours. If you’re capable enough and think you can handle it, you can go and conquer other territories. But my suggestion is to prioritize the area east of North Point.”

It turns out that He Yuzhu's current development plan is to move eastward from North Point, gradually connecting his sphere of influence into a whole area.

That being said, we've only just entered the 60s, and the situation is not yet fully clear, so we need to lie low and wait for a while longer!

After all, those white people have long been bullying others and have become accustomed to their superior attitude.

He Yuzhu doesn't want to venture into traditional core areas like Central for the time being.

After hearing He Yuzhu's explanation, Du Guanghe quickly agreed:

"Okay, I got it."

Actually, Du Guanghe doesn't have any strong aversion to the current cooperation model.

Because He Yuzhu's many goods are continuously shipped to Indonesia, where they are then sold.

Thanks to this deal, the Du family made a considerable profit!

Prior to this, the lack of stable and reliable supply channels had always put Du Guanghe in a passive position in business.

However, the situation is different now. He personally oversees the bustling Hong Kong area, leveraging its unique geographical advantages and resources to facilitate direct procurement activities.

He then entrusted a professional shipping company to ensure the safe transport of the purchased goods to their destination. After several successful operations, the substantial profits gave Du Guanghe his first taste of success.

That day, an excited Du Guanghe couldn't help but ask He Yuzhu:

"What do you think would happen if I bought my own boat and took on the task of transporting goods myself?"

After a moment's thought, He Yuzhu replied:

"It's not impossible to do that, but it's important to note that the shipping industry itself carries certain risks."

Du Guanghe nodded confidently, indicating that he understood the potential risks, and then said:

"But it's okay, I can buy the appropriate insurance to reduce the potential losses. In this way, although there will be an extra insurance expense, the shipping cost will still be in my pocket."

Upon hearing this, He Yuzhu nodded in agreement and added a suggestion:

"In that case, we might as well make full use of this transportation route. While transporting goods from Hong Kong, we can also organize the purchase of some high-quality agricultural products from your local area. For example, you could try to set up a large-scale farm in the area to raise poultry and livestock such as pigs, chickens, and geese; or you could directly purchase these agricultural products in large quantities from surrounding farmers."

Upon hearing this, Du Guanghe's eyes lit up, and a look of joy appeared on his face. He quickly replied:

"That's a great idea! It seems like a viable way to make money. We need to discuss the specific details carefully."

It's important to know that in the past, when they were in Indonesia, they mainly relied on collecting protection money to make a living. Every penny they earned was hard-earned, truly hard-earned money.

Prior to this, Du Guanghe had never seriously considered venturing into the business world. It wasn't until he met He Yuzhu and received substantial material support from him that he was suddenly enlightened, realizing that there was such a vast world of business waiting for him to explore.

After He Yuzhu's explanation, everyone was surprised to discover that there was such a brand new business opportunity!

It's important to understand that Hong Kong, despite its small size, has a large population, now numbering over 300 million.

This is why the prices of agricultural products here are naturally higher than in other regions. And if one could purchase these products from resource-rich Indonesia and then transport them here for sale, the potential profits would be considerable.

However, He Yuzhu himself had little interest in this seemingly tempting deal and looked down on it.

On the contrary, Du Guanghe, who was standing to the side, showed great interest in this and thought it was definitely a pretty good business.

So the two moved into the office and began to discuss the business deal in detail.

Despite He Yuzhu's somewhat rough and domineering manner in daily life, when he talks about business, he is clear-headed and articulate.

Back in the day, he had at least been the head of a factory, so he was quite knowledgeable about business.

In addition, his rich life experience and broad knowledge made him well aware that the key to this business was nothing more than finding the unique products of the two places and making a profit from the price difference by transporting and reselling them.

After He Yuzhu patiently explained everything, Du Guanghe, who had been harboring some resentment, suddenly understood, and all his dissatisfaction vanished instantly.

It must be admitted that although He Yuzhu sometimes appears somewhat barbaric and violent, his superb martial arts skills and outstanding business acumen are both top-notch.

Finally, He Yuzhu waved his hand and said:

"Alright, go back and think about it some more. First, buy a small boat of a few thousand tons and try it out two or three times. Once you've completely opened up this avenue, the rest will naturally follow!"

Just as the two were chatting enthusiastically, a sudden, urgent phone call broke the peaceful atmosphere in the room.
