Courtyard House: My Wife is Xu Huizhen

Page 336

"Not bad, not bad, this is the homework Teacher Wen left for you."

He Yuzhu said, "Then I'll submit my homework in a different way."

"Pah, I don't want to change."

He Yuzhu had told Wenli about couples' homework when he told jokes before, and now that she heard him say this, she immediately wanted to run away.

But He Yuzhu had already grabbed her and said fiercely, "You can't escape."

After saying that, he picked Wenli up horizontally, carried her into the inner room, and put her on the big bed.

"You filthy scoundrel, it's still daytime!"

"get out of class has just ended, and the students are here to hand in their homework!"

He Yuzhu reached into his schoolbag, opened his black notebook, picked up a thick ballpoint pen, and wrote vigorously on the pink paper.

The pen was clogged and wouldn't write at first. He Yuzhu had to rub it back and forth and poke it hard until he finally fixed the pen and it started writing smoothly.

Unfortunately, the ink was bad; the black ink had turned milky white.

Wenli shouted, "Didn't we agree on 600 words? What kind of nonsense are you writing?"

He Yuzhu chuckled.

By Sunday, He Yuzhu had resigned himself to his fate and prepared the ingredients early, starting his work in the kitchen.

Around 10 o'clock, Meimei's family and Wenli's family arrived with gifts.

He Yuzhu was very embarrassed when he saw her, while Wenli hid at the back and covered her mouth to laugh.

Xu Huizhen introduced He Yuzhu to her second aunt and uncle, third aunt and uncle, and then to her cousins.

Meimei was already beaming with joy, saying happily, "I never imagined you would be my cousin-in-law, this is such a surprise!"

After saying that, he glanced at Wenli.

Wenli approached Meimei beforehand and asked her to keep it a secret. Meimei had no choice but to agree and not to tell anyone about He Yuzhu and Wenli dancing.

Wenli repeatedly assured that she and her cousin-in-law He Yuzhu had only ever danced together and had no other relationship.

Although Meimei had some suspicions that the two were already having an affair, she kept it to herself and wouldn't say anything.

Tong Zhi was also embarrassed and said, "Hello, brother-in-law."

"You're too kind, please come inside."

Xu Huizhen then introduced the three Wen sisters. The eldest and second eldest were fine, but she focused on introducing the youngest, Wen Li.

"Zhu Zi, do you think I look exactly like my cousin Wenli?"

He Yuzhu nodded. Of course, if the two didn't look exactly alike, he wouldn't have had the idea to win Wenli over.

"Hello, brother-in-law." Wenli greeted him politely.

Xu Huizhen said, "My cousin is a primary school teacher. She's very quiet. Zhuzi, if you know anyone suitable, please help introduce her to someone you know well."

Wenli blushed instantly and couldn't help but glare at He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu was quite embarrassed and simply said, "Then I'll take care of it."

They invited the relatives into the house, where Xu Huizhen and Huizhi entertained them, while He Yuzhu hid in the kitchen.

A large table of food was quickly prepared, and after tasting He Yuzhu's cooking, everyone praised it highly, and the guests were very happy.

A few days later, Wenli found a small, detached courtyard for sale. It was a standard courtyard with three rooms in each of the four directions.

After inspecting the house and confirming that it was in relatively good condition, He Yuzhu nodded and said, "Not bad, let's buy this one."

Wenli suddenly hesitated and said, "I feel uneasy spending so much of your money."

"Silly girl, we need a place to meet. This house is a bit small, but it's easier to clean."

The courtyard on Gulou East Street has more than 10 rooms. He Yuzhu hires people to clean it regularly, otherwise it would fall into disrepair if he didn't live there.

After speaking, He Yuzhu took out 2000 yuan from his shoulder bag and handed it to her.

"Why is it so thick? Is it too much?"

"Just take it. We can buy some furniture and household items later."

"Ok."

Wenli didn't say much. Since everyone belonged to He Yuzhu, it was only natural for her to spend his money.

Who told this scoundrel to take advantage of her body and then refuse to marry her!

Especially since she and Xu Huizhen were cousins, how could her cousin's husband divorce his wife and marry his cousin?

Won't our relatives and friends laugh at us to death then?

Wenli sometimes thought that it would be better if the two families weren't relatives, and they were just ordinary strangers. He Yuzhu's divorce from his wife wouldn't have been a problem.

The fact that the two families were related eliminated any possibility that He Yuzhu would divorce his wife and remarry.

My lifelong innocence has been ruined by that scoundrel He Yuzhu.

Chapter 246 Going South

Two days later, when Wenli showed him the property deed, He Yuzhu also took out the same paper.

"What are you doing?"

He Yuzhu said, "I will transfer the ownership of that two-courtyard house to your name."

"What?" Wenli took it in surprise. The name of the householder was clearly written as Wenli.

"Why did you secretly give me the house?"

"I've said it before, you're the one I love most. Money is just an external thing, so just accept it."

Wenli was very touched: "You scoundrel, you're so good to me."

He Yuzhu said, "Can we change our names? We can't keep calling me a scoundrel, can we?"

"Dream on, that's your name." Wenli wouldn't budge an inch.

Time flies, and autumn has arrived in the blink of an eye. This year, the production of canned fruit has expanded significantly compared to last year. He Yuzhu also took advantage of his work to exchange his cash for a large quantity of canned fruit.

While there are no restrictions on the general purchase of various supplies, large-scale procurement is still subject to control.

Although canned fruit is not a necessity, it can still fetch a high premium if stored for three years and then sold.

It's better than having cash lying around in the space, right? Besides, you can't just deposit it in a bank to earn interest; you can only exchange it for supplies.

He Yuzhu has been living a more comfortable life lately, thanks to the addition of Yu Mei, his thoughtful little girl, and Wen Li, his teacher, which makes his daily life more interesting and gives him more choices.

Until one day, Xu Huizhen said, "You asked me to remind you that the day has come."

"What day?"

Xu Huizhen said, "In two days it will be the day Chairman Lou is getting married. Don't forget in these two days."

"Oh, I see."

When the Lou family's driver came to invite him, He Yuzhu was not surprised at all. He was led to the study, where Chairman Lou politely discussed the preparations for the wedding banquet with him.

First, they discussed and decided on the menu for the banquet, and then listed the various ingredients that needed to be purchased based on the number of tables to be washed.

All these purchasing tasks are the responsibility of the Lou family. He Yuzhu only needs to come over the day before and bring a few helpers.

After finishing the business, He Yuzhu suddenly said, "Chairman Lou, I noticed that your car is still just a Jeep."

Lou Zhenhua was surprised, wondering why he suddenly brought up cars.

"Yes, bridge vehicles cannot be produced domestically at present. This vehicle was obtained before liberation."

Currently, there are also imported cars in China, especially GAZ, which is the most imported. However, the total number is not large, and they are all allocated to various government agencies and institutions. It is not up to Lou Zhenhua, a capitalist, to purchase them.

He Yuzhu didn't mince words, saying, "I have connections to get a ZIS-100 and a GAZ truck. I wonder if Chairman Lou would be interested?"

"Can you get your hands on a car?"

He Yuzhu nodded: "Yes, I know two friends from the north. They have cars, but they're not brand new; they're used cars."

Lou Zhenhua then understood, but even a used car was much better than his Jeep, which was about to be scrapped.

I haven't been able to get a car myself, which is why I haven't been able to replace this Jeep.

Lou Zhenhua said happily, "This is so unexpected. I'll take it if I can get my hands on it."

"Okay, I'll bring it to you tonight."

As he came out of the study, he saw Lou Xiao'e sitting in the living room. When she saw He Yuzhu, she smiled and came to greet him.

"Master He, we've finally waited for you to come."

He Yuzhu glanced at the butler beside him, who simply nodded in acknowledgment.

It seems I can't escape the fate of having to make desserts again.

"Ms. Lou, it's a pleasure to see you again."

"Master He, could you please teach me a couple more moves?"

"Okay, no problem."
