Siheyuan: I just came across and wanted to chase me away

Chapter 873 He Yuzhu Doesn’t Lend Money

He Yuzhu looked at Qin Huairu's pitiful appearance and couldn't help but waver in his heart. He had indeed thought about lending her money. In his heart, Qin Huairu was a woman with several children, and her life was really difficult. Every time he saw her so helpless, He Yuzhu couldn't help but soften his heart.

Lu Jia, standing by, saw He Yuzhu's thoughts clearly. She knew that He Yuzhu was a soft-hearted person with a low temper. But this time, she didn't say anything to stop him. She just stood there quietly, watching He Yuzhu with interest, wanting to see how he would handle the situation.

He Yuzhu thought Lu Jia would scold him as usual, or directly express her opposition to the loan, but to his surprise, Lu Jia said nothing and just watched quietly. This made He Yuzhu feel a little unsure, but he really didn't know how to tell Qin Huairu.

He Yuzhu looked at Qin Huairu helplessly, his face full of apology, and said, "Sister Qin, you are also aware of my family's current situation. The little money I earn now is not enough to cover all the deductions. I really don't have any extra money in my pocket to lend you, and I am also powerless." He spread out his hands, his eyes revealing a bit of helplessness and embarrassment.

Qin Huairu never expected that He Yuzhu would reject her like this. She widened her eyes, looked at He Yuzhu in disbelief, and said anxiously: "Zhuzi, we have been neighbors for so many years, how could you just watch me die? I really have no other choice, so I came to you for help." Her voice was filled with tears, as if tears were about to fall in the next second.

He Yuzhu smiled bitterly, trying to make Qin Huairu understand his difficulties: "Sister Qin, you really have to understand me. In this situation, I can hardly take care of myself, and I really can't help you." He avoided Qin Huairu's gaze, feeling a little uncomfortable.

Qin Huairu knew that He Yuzhu was a soft-hearted person. As long as she said a few nice words and exaggerated her pitiful situation, He Yuzhu would probably agree to lend her the money. Just as she took a deep breath and was about to speak again, Lu Jia stepped forward, looked at Qin Huairu, and said calmly, "Sister Qin, although we are neighbors, our family is not rich now. We really can't lend you a penny. I hope you can understand."

Seeing this, He Yuzhu quickly agreed: "Sister Qin, you see, this is indeed the situation now, and our family really has no other choice." He felt uncomfortable in his heart, but he felt that this time he could no longer help without principles like before.

Qin Huairu wanted to argue a few more times, but before she could say anything, she saw He Yuzhu and Lu Jia turned and walked away, not giving her a chance to continue. She watched them leave, her hands clenched into fists in anger, her chest heaving violently. She really didn't expect He Yuzhu to treat her like this. You know, in the past, He Yuzhu was so kind to her family. Whenever he had something delicious or useful, he would always think of their family first. But who could have thought that he would become so heartless now.

Qin Huairu was filled with anger and helplessness, and could only turn around and walk home. Along the way, she became more and more angry, and she was a little overwhelmed. After returning home, she sank into a chair, staring blankly in the direction of He Yuzhu's house, wondering if she should go to the steel mill to ask for a day off tomorrow. After all, the matter of the backyard house was imminent, and she really didn't know where to get the money to solve this problem.

He Yuzhu dragged his slightly exhausted body back home. As soon as he entered, he saw Lu Jia sitting at the table. He quickly walked over to Lu Jia, with a flattering smile on his face, and said seriously, "Lu Jia, don't worry. From now on, I will completely draw a line between myself and the Jia family. We will no longer have any relationship."

Lu Jia raised her eyes and glanced at He Yuzhu. His performance in handling matters related to the Jia family today was indeed quite satisfactory. As for whether He Yuzhu had really let go of Qin Huairu in his heart, Lu Jia didn't particularly care. In her opinion, as long as He Yuzhu could superficially distance himself from the Jia family and it didn't affect her own plans, it would be fine. Lu Jia raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile, and said softly: "Brother Zhuzi, how could I not believe you? Let's just live our own lives peacefully in the future and don't worry about other things."

He Yuzhu felt a sudden sense of relief when he heard Lu Jia's words. He was thankful that he had been smart in handling the matter with the Jia family today. If he had made a mistake and upset Lu Jia, it would have been troublesome. He thought to himself that he would have to be more cautious in the future and not let such things affect his relationship with Lu Jia again.

However, He Yuzhu didn't know that Lu Jia didn't care about his relationship with the Jia family at all. In Lu Jia's heart, the only person she wanted to deal with was Gu Nan. As for the other people in the courtyard, Lu Jia initially considered using them to achieve her own goals, but after getting to know them, she found that they were nothing more than useless and useless. Therefore, she didn't want He Yuzhu to have any more involvement with the Jia family, because in her eyes, the Jia family was also useless.

Elsewhere, Gu Nan was leisurely sitting in the courtyard, a steaming cup of tea in hand, quietly gazing at the scenery outside. It was unknown when Gu Nan had developed a fondness for tea. In this era of relatively few entertainment options, a cup of fragrant tea not only allowed him to enjoy a moment of tranquility amidst his busy schedule, but also allowed him to calm down and contemplate.

Gu Nan took a sip of his tea as a thought suddenly flashed through his mind. He felt that if someone could tell the higher-ups about the recent events in Siheyuan, it would definitely cause quite a stir. The thought struck him as intriguing. Speaking directly himself seemed meaningless and would easily expose him. But if Banggeng could speak, that would be different. Banggeng was already a local, so if he could tell the story, it would have greater credibility and would be more likely to attract the attention of those above him.

However, before letting the higher-ups know about this, wouldn't it be more interesting if everyone else in the courtyard could first understand the true identities of Liu Haizhong, Yi Zhonghai, the Jia family, and Yan Bugui? By then, everyone's reaction would surely be fascinating.

Gu Nan pondered that it wouldn't be difficult to let the people at the Siheyuan know about this. There were a few big mouths in the Siheyuan, so all he had to do was tell Tiedan about it. Tiedan was just a child, after all, with a simple mind. He might accidentally tell someone about it one day, and then the news would spread quickly throughout the Siheyuan. Thinking of this, Gu Nan's lips curled up slightly, and a sly glint flashed in his eyes.
