At this moment, Third Uncle stood at the door and said with a smile. He saw the hot dishes in He Yuzhu's pot and had no intention of leaving.
"Isn't this Third Master? Why did you come here because you smelled it?”
He Yuzhu said half-jokingly.
"Zhu Zi, why do you sound like you're scolding me?”
Hearing this, Third Uncle's face was a little unhappy. However, when he saw the hot dishes that were emitting a fragrant sizzling sound in the pot, the unhappiness in his heart quickly disappeared.
"As the saying goes, you don't visit a temple without a reason. I wonder what you're here for today?”
He Yuzhu did not stand on ceremony at all and asked directly.
"It's like this. I know about what happened in the courtyard just now, and I've already criticized the old sister-in-law of the Jia family just now. Who asked her to find trouble with you at this time? After all, it's not a good behavior to meddle in other people's affairs!”
At this moment, Third Uncle quickly explained his purpose of coming. Of course, his eyes kept glancing at the pot.
"Third Master, you're not entirely right. I'm not just because of her family introducing me to a partner. In fact, I've long been unhappy with this old woman. She still thinks that she's Zhuge Liang and always wants to influence other people's thoughts.”
"Alright, for the sake of what you said just now, don't stand outside and quickly come in and sit!”
He Yuzhu looked at Third Uncle's posture and understood that he was here to freeload. However, since he had said so, he could not chase him away. He just wanted to freeload a meal. It was not a big deal.
Therefore, he might as well push the boat with the current and give her a favor.
After all, they were all living in the same courtyard, so there were still many places they had to interact with from now on.
Thinking of this, He Yuzhu called Third Master to sit down. Then, he brought the hot dishes to the table. He also poured out a plate of fried peanuts, took out a bottle of white wine, and heated a few steamed buns in the pot. Then, the father and son drank wine and bragged at the table.
"Not bad, Zhu Zi. This is my favorite Erguotou! Well, these dishes with wine are not bad. Third Uncle, I won't stand on ceremony!”
After saying that, Third Uncle picked up the glass of wine in front of him and sipped it. He raised his neck and drank it in one gulp.
"Yes, this Erguotou tastes good enough! After a tiring day, drinking a bowl of Erguotou instantly relieved my fatigue and warmed my body. Now, I feel so comfortable!”
After saying that, he put down his wine glass. This Third Uncle seemed to have opened up a chatterbox and spoke with his eloquent tongue.
"Third Uncle, if you like it, then drink more today!”
He Yuzhu didn't expect Third Uncle to be so easy to deal with. Even a bottle of Erguotou tasted different.
One had to know that the three uncles in their courtyard were all authoritative figures in the courtyard, so if he could build a good relationship with the third uncle now, it would be beneficial to him in the future.
"Zhu Zi, I also know that you're definitely a good person in our courtyard. Take Qin Huiru and her family for example. If it weren't for you helping them all these years, who knows how their lives would have been! So I completely understand…"
At this moment, Third Uncle was starting to lose his sense of propriety after drinking.
"Alright, stop it, Third Master. Your words seem to have gone a little too far! Besides, Qin Huairu and her family have nothing to do with me, He Yuzhu. I helped them out of kindness, but it was my duty not to help them. Plus, I still have my sister, so I have to make sure that I can't always help their family selflessly, right?”
When He Yuzhu heard Third Master mentioning Qin Huairu's family again, he felt upset. He frowned and expressed his stance.
Third Master was stunned when he heard this. He had wanted to curry favor with He Yuzhu, but he did not expect to incur his disgust. Moreover, from the way he spoke, it was obvious that he wanted to draw a clear line between him and Qin Huairu's family.
He Yuzhu's actions confused Third Uncle. He had to admit that He Yuzhu had changed a lot in the past two months. It felt like he had suddenly woken up.
Thinking of this, Third Uncle rolled his eyes and immediately chuckled,
"Zhu Zi, actually, I'm telling you this because I treat you as one of my own. You have to know that this widow has a lot of troubles. Now that you can understand this so quickly, it's definitely a good thing!”
"As the saying goes, a prodigal son who returns is worth more than gold. That's why I really think highly of you. With your current comprehension, you'll definitely be able to do great things in the future!”
Although Third Master was flattering him, he was secretly thinking that he could not underestimate He Yuzhu from now on.
On the other side, Qin Huairu had also returned to the courtyard house after work. However, the moment she entered the house, she saw Jia Zhangshi's face that could not be any more sullen.
Although she knew that Qin Huairu had returned, Jia Zhangshi did not even spare her a glance. She simply sat at the table and plucked the vegetables.
"Mom, what's wrong? Who made you unhappy today? Was that brat disobedient again?”
Qin Huairu put down her bag and asked when she saw Jia Zhangshi's bitter face.
"That's my precious grandson. My heart aches for him, so why would I be angry with him? Why was he angry? Wasn't it that heartless idiot?”
Hearing this, Jia Zhangshi immediately said angrily.
"Is it Silly Zhu? Mom, did you think that he didn't bring lunch boxes for us in the past two months, so you went to find trouble with him? But Silly Zhu's temper isn't very good recently, but I don't think you need to be angry with him!”
When Qin Huiru heard Jia Zhangshi say that it was Silly Zhu, her expression changed and she immediately started speaking up for He Yuzhu.
