"Brother, what are you cooking? I smelled the fragrance from afar." He Yushui rushed into the house.
"You little gluttonous cat. It's just ordinary noodles. It's not as exaggerated as you say.”
"Hehe, as long as it's made by big brother, it's delicious.”He Yushui hugged He Yuzhu's arm and said coquettishly. "Oh right, brother, we've been eating a lot of white noodles recently. Do you have any more? Should we eat something else? I found more than ten catties of rice in the cabinet today. I've only seen it before. Where did you get it? Brother, can you cook for me tomorrow?”
"Okay, okay, okay. I'll give my cute sister rice tomorrow. As for where the rice came from, don't worry about it. Anyway, it wasn't stolen. Alright, the noodles were ready. She put her bag away and prepared to eat.”
He Yushui impatiently threw her bag onto He Yuzhu's bed and sat down at the dining table.
He Yuzhu scooped a big bowl of noodles with a smile and brought it to He Yushui." Eat slowly. Be careful not to burn."”
He Yushui blew on the noodles and drank a mouthful of soup." Mmm, it's delicious."”
"Rainwater, you eat first. I'll send a bowl to the old lady.”
"Okay, brother. You can go."
He Yuzhu picked up a bowl of noodles and turned right. She walked straight through the hall and arrived at the backyard. The Deaf Old Lady had a room in the backyard and lived alone.
At this time, housing in Beijing was tight. It was normal for a family to squeeze into a room. Many people lived with their parents and brothers after they got married. There was no so-called new house at all. At most, they would buy a new bed and pull a cloth to separate it at night to avoid embarrassment.
There were more than 20 families in the courtyard house, and only He Yuzhu's family and the Deaf Old Lady lived alone in a room. Many people were jealous and made sarcastic remarks in private.
This was definitely the reason why He Yuzhu had such a miserable life in the original drama.
He Yuzhu's family background was good in the entire Siheyuan. She lived in the best place, had a high salary, good food, and a straightforward personality. She talked about these things every day and offended everyone in the Siheyuan. Naturally, everyone was envious and jealous.
Following Jia Ping 'an's death, Yi Zhonghai, the First Master, first started to scam He Yuzhu in order to find someone to support his family. He asked He Yuzhu to provide for Qin Huiru's family openly.
Imagine a young man helping a newly widowed widow. When everyone was starving, he would give the leftovers from the factory to the Qin family every day. He would also give cornmeal and white flour from time to time. Anyone would think too much.
At the same time, this made everyone in the courtyard jealous. They would definitely curse He Yuzhu in their hearts and not want him to have an easy time. In the end, the entire courtyard naturally tacitly framed He Yuzhu.
First, he secretly spread the news that he was having an affair with the widow Qin Huairu, silently ruining He Yuzhu's numerous blind dates. Secondly, she would slowly matchmake him and Qin Huairu, and let the Qin family's ingrates drag him to death.
Did they really think that the hundred plus people in the courtyard house could not see through Qin Huairu and her family's ungrateful nature? They were just acting so arrogantly that it had nothing to do with them. Furthermore, everyone was putting in good words for Qin Huairu just to set He Yuzhu up. After all, He Yuzhu was so well-off. If he ended up as a bachelor and caused Old He's family to be wiped out, just thinking about it made people happy.
If it wasn't for the fact that the Deaf Old Lady was old and shrewd, ignoring He Yuzhu every time she secretly reminded him. In the end, she had no choice but to seize the opportunity and directly let He Yuzhu and Lou Xiao'e have a son, He Xiao. He Yuzhu would definitely have become a destitute family and live a miserable life in his later years.
The Deaf Old Lady had experienced too much in her life, from the late Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China, the warlords fighting, the people resisting Japan, and then the founding of New China. Nothing could hide from her eyes. As a family member of a martyr, the Deaf Old Lady should have been living a good life, but she did not want to cause trouble for the country, so she voluntarily gave up all kinds of welfare benefits given by the country.
Therefore, the Deaf Old Lady's status in the Siheyuan was transcendent. However, because her husband and son had died at the hands of the Japanese, she had become indifferent to everything in her grief. She only watched coldly from the sidelines as things happened in the Siheyuan. He was the only one who treated He Yuzhu really well and made plans for her. Unfortunately, He Yuzhu was really useless and was still sucked dry by the Siheyuan family for the rest of his life.
Of course, these things did not matter to He Yuzhu who had transmigrated. He could not be tricked even if he wanted to.
He Yuzhu walked to the Deaf Old Lady's door and shouted,""Old Madam, are you home?"
"Good grandson, I'm here. The door isn't closed.”
He Yuzhu raised her right leg and pushed the door open gently with the tip of her foot. She walked into the house and shouted,"Old Madam, I've brought you some food.”
"Okay, okay, okay. I smelled it just now. We're eating noodles today, aren't we, my good grandson?”The Deaf Old Lady sat on the edge of the bed and said happily.
He Yuzhu placed the noodles on the table and turned to the Deaf Old Lady. He smiled and said,""Old Madam, let me help you put on your shoes.”He Yuzhu squatted down to put on the shoes for the Deaf Old Lady and slowly helped her to the chair.
"Old Madam, sit slowly. Don't touch it.”He Yuzhu then went to the side and passed the chopsticks to the Deaf Old Lady. He smiled and said,"Old lady, eat. It's still warm. You should drink some hot soup first.”
The Deaf Old Lady nodded with a smile." Yes, yes. The food my good grandson makes smells good, so it will definitely taste better.”After saying that, she slowly took a sip of the soup and closed her eyes comfortably.
"Alright, my good grandson, I'll eat slowly by myself. You should go back and eat too. The noodles won't taste good if they're cold.”The Deaf Old Lady happily started to chase them away.
"Alright, then Old Madam, eat slowly. Put the food aside after you're done eating. I'll come over and clean up after you're done.”
"Alright, my good grandson, I understand.”
He Yuzhu returned to the middle court. The moment he entered, he saw his sister lying on the bed with her limbs in the air. His face darkened as he shouted at He Yuzhu,"Get up quickly. What's wrong with a big girl lying down like this? She's not ladylike at all. It's getting dark. Go back to your room and do your homework.”As she spoke, she pulled He Yushui up.
He Yushui muttered unwillingly," Smelly brother, bad brother, you won't let me rest for a while."”When He Yuzhu heard this, she said," Hey, He Yushui, you've grown some guts. You dare to scold me? I think you're looking for a beating."”He raised his hand and pretended to hit He Yuyu. He Yuyu picked up her bag and nimbly slipped past He Yuzhu like a monkey. In the blink of an eye, she ran back to her room.
He Yuzhu smiled and shook his head. He scooped a bowl of noodles for himself and ate it happily.
