Chapter 698 Ask Me to Do Charity
He Yuzhu wanted to laugh when he heard what Yi Zhonghai said: "Uncle Yi, isn't what you said a bit silly? You don't even eat what you have, and you still want me to do charity."
Yi Zhonghai's face was full of confusion and helplessness. He really couldn't figure out who had "brainwashed" He Yuzhu and made him suddenly become so "disobedient". He stared at He Yuzhu and said earnestly: "Zhuzi, we are all neighbors living in the same courtyard. We see each other every day, so we should help each other. What's wrong with you now? How could you do such a thing?"
He Yuzhu had a faint smile on his face, which was a bit teasing. He looked at Yi Zhonghai and said, "Yes, Uncle Yi, people in a courtyard house really need to help each other. I am also learning from you. Isn't this what you teach us every day?"
Yi Zhonghai was choked by He Yuzhu's words and was speechless for a moment. He opened his mouth but didn't know how to respond. He wanted to persuade He Yuzhu again, but just as he was about to speak, He Yuzhu suddenly stretched out his hand, pointed in the direction of Gu Nan's house, and said, "Okay, Uncle Yi, instead of teaching me a lesson, why don't you go and see other people. Look at Gu Nan, he is also living a prosperous life, how enviable."
Yi Zhonghai was diverted by He Yuzhu and looked at him angrily. He just managed to say: "Why are you..."
At this time, Lu Jia, who had been listening on the side, was really fed up. Ever since Yi Zhonghai came, he had been making a fuss here, and he couldn't make sense no matter how he talked. Lu Jia knew why He Yuzhu had deliberately picked out those pieces of meat, so she suddenly had an idea, walked out of the room with a plate, and deliberately said: "Brother Zhuzi, you haven't taken out the meat yet? I thought you forgot."
When Yi Zhonghai heard this, he thought that his words had worked and He Yuzhu was going to send the meat to the Jia family. He immediately showed a smug look on his face and reached out to take the meat from the plate. However, He Yuzhu reacted very quickly and dodged it immediately, asking with a vigilant look: "Uncle Yi, what are you doing?"
Yi Zhonghai smiled awkwardly, trying to cover up his gaffe, and said, "I know you are kind-hearted, and you still feel sorry for Banggeng. Are these meats specially prepared for the Jia family?"
He Yuzhu couldn't help but feel disgusted when he heard this. In the past, he really thought that Banggeng was just a child and couldn't have any bad intentions, so he took good care of the Jia family. But after going through so many things, he now felt disgusted when he looked at Banggeng.
This kid is really too cunning, he is a complete ungrateful ungrateful person. He looked at Yi Zhonghai coldly and said, "Uncle Yi, I never said that I have no relationship with the Jia family. However, this meat is for the deaf old lady in the backyard. She is old, so she needs to eat more meat to replenish her body." As he said that, he was about to go to the backyard. But when he saw Yi Zhonghai still standing there, he asked impatiently, "Uncle Yi, do you have anything else to do? If not, I will leave first."
Seeing He Yuzhu so determined, Yi Zhonghai felt a little anxious. He rolled his eyes and came up with an idea. He looked at He Yuzhu and said, "Zhuzi, although I have no right to interfere with your affairs with the Jia family, isn't it a bit inappropriate for Lu Jia to live in our courtyard? Look at this single man and single woman..."
He Yuzhu was speechless for a moment after being asked by Yi Zhonghai, and didn't know how to explain. At this moment, Lu Jia felt that the time was ripe. During this period of time, she had already met Ran Qiuye and had dealt with many people in the courtyard. Now it was time to let the people in the courtyard know her identity. So, she didn't say anything more and turned back to the house.
He Yuzhu looked at Lu Jia's departing back and his heart skipped a beat. He thought Lu Jia was angry at Yi Zhonghai's words. He was at a loss for a moment and didn't know what to say.
Yi Zhonghai was secretly delighted, thinking that his goal had been achieved. In his opinion, as long as Lu Jia left, Qin Huairu would have a chance to win He Yuzhu's heart again.
But who would have thought that after a while, Lu Jia came out of the house again. He Yuzhu saw what Lu Jia was holding in his hand, and was immediately delighted, thinking to himself: "It seems that Yi Zhonghai has an unexpected gain after all this trouble."
Just when He Yuzhu was secretly happy, Lu Jia walked up to Yi Zhonghai, held up the things in her hand, and said, "Mr. Yi, please take a good look. I am now He Yuzhu's nominal wife. Now you understand, let alone living in He Yushui's house, even if I live in He Yuzhu's house, what does it have to do with you?"
Yi Zhonghai was full of suspicion when he heard what Lu Jia said. He refused to believe that He Yuzhu had gotten married quietly. He frowned, his face full of disbelief, and walked towards Lu Jia unconsciously, reaching out to grab the marriage certificate from Lu Jia's hand.
Yi Zhonghai's hands trembled slightly as he unfolded the marriage certificate, carefully reading from the front cover to the back cover, and then looking at every word and every seal on the inner page, his eyes full of shock and unwillingness. After a long while, he finally raised his head and looked at He Yuzhu, his voice a little distorted: "This is actually a marriage certificate, He Yuzhu, you...you are married!"
Seeing Yi Zhonghai's expression, He Yuzhu simply stopped hiding it and said with a straight back, "Yes, Master Yi, I am married. Think about it, I have a family now, so I naturally have to put my own family first. Why should I help the Jia family like before? I have to take care of my wife's feelings first. Will she be willing for me to help the Jia family without any bottom line like before?"
Yi Zhonghai secretly complained when he heard this. He knew very well that once He Yuzhu got married, the Jia family would find ways to rely on him without He Yuzhu as their long-term "meal ticket".
He didn't want to bring himself into trouble, so he hurriedly said, "He Yuzhu, how could you not tell me about such a big thing? I am the eldest uncle of our courtyard, and I should know these things."
He Yuzhu looked at Yi Zhonghai's anxious look, and a wave of disgust surged in his heart, but he still suppressed it, with a half-smile on his face, and said: "Uncle Yi, why should I tell you? Just to let you know, and then let everyone in the courtyard know, and then everyone will come to point fingers at my life and talk nonsense? You know how much I helped the Jia family before, and everyone has been gossiping about it."
