"By the way, brother, you just went to the deaf old lady's house. Why did you take so long?" He Yumo suddenly remembered.
"Oh, I happened to run into Mr. Yi in the old lady's room and chatted for a while, which delayed me for a while."
"Uncle Yi? Brother, did Uncle Yi ask you to take the rainwater to their house during the day and have Aunt Yi take care of it for you? He also said that since they don't have any children at home, having a child would make things more lively or something like that?"
"How did you know?" He Yuzhu looked at He Yumo in surprise. He actually said almost word for word the same thing as Uncle Yi!
Of course He Yumo knew that Uncle Yi wanted to win people's hearts so that He Yuzhu could take care of him in his old age!
Anyway, Yu Shui will be able to go to school next year, and we won’t need to take care of him for long. Besides, Yu Shui is a well-known well-behaved and obedient child in the yard, and he won’t delay their work in any way, so we just want to do him a favor now!
"Brother, you must not agree to him! Yi Zhonghai is not a good person. In the future, you should have less involvement with him and it's best to stay away from him!" He Yumo said seriously.
"Mozi, how can you say that about Uncle Yi? I think Uncle Yi is a good person! He is warm-hearted and reasonable!"
Well, He Yumo knew that this matter could not be rushed. Forget it. When the time comes, she will expose Yi Zhonghai’s true face in person, and then her silly brother will know it!
He Yumo knew that Yi Zhonghai had embezzled the money that He Daqing left for them, but he had no evidence at the moment!
As he was speaking, there was another knock on the door.
The person who came was Jia Zhang!
This guy is the character that He Yumo hates the most in the entire "Love in the Courtyard"! He is extremely selfish!
Jia Zhang smiled and said, "Oh, what delicious food are you eating? It smells so good."
"Auntie, why are you here?" He Yuzhu asked with a smile. He was the kind of person who always smiled at everyone.
"Oh, today, I saw that you two brothers went out, leaving Xiao Yushui alone in the yard? The little girl looked so pitiful all by herself, it made me feel sad!"
"Auntie, there's nothing I can do! Mozi and I both went to Hongbinlou as apprentices, and we're not allowed to bring anyone into the kitchen. So, I asked the deaf old lady to help take care of it!"
"Oh, so, Shamao also went to the restaurant to be an apprentice?! Can he do it?" When Jia Zhang said this, she also looked at He Yumo with an incredible look on her face.
"Ms. Jia Zhang, I have a name. From now on, please call me He Yumo!" He Yumo said bluntly.
Jia Zhang was stunned for a moment. This second idiot from the He family had become so successful? He actually dared to speak to her like that. However, thinking of the purpose of her visit today, she suppressed her anger.
She smiled and said, "Okay, okay, Yumo, I'll call you Yumo from now on! Um, Shazhu! Auntie has something to discuss with you!"
"Please don't call my brother Shazhu, his name is He Yuzhu!" He Yumo said seriously, not wanting to show any mercy to Jia Zhang.
He Yuzhu quickly smiled and tried to smooth things over: "It's all the same, it doesn't matter what you call it! By the way, Auntie, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Jia Zhang couldn't help but glared at He Yumo, then smiled at He Yuzhu and said, "Oh, well, I mean well. Since you two brothers are going to work at Hongbinlou in the future, why don't you leave Yushui with me?"
"Dongxu has to go to work during the day, and I'm alone during the day anyway. I like Yushui, that girl, very much. As for this deaf old lady, she's old after all..."
"Don't bother you with this! Yu Shui is with you, and I'm afraid she will be hungry! She likes to stay with the deaf old lady! Right, Yu Shui?" Without waiting for He Yuzhu to speak, He Yumo rejected Jia Zhang's opinion!
Yu Shui nodded obediently. Although the deaf old lady was sometimes a little fierce, she disliked Jia Zhang in front of her even more.
"Hey, you fool, how can you not know what is good for you and what is bad for you!" Jia Zhang was a little angry. She originally thought that her reasons were very sufficient and would definitely not be rejected, but she didn't expect to hit a snag!
"I just told you, please call me He Yumo! Is your hearing not so good? Then I'm even more worried about leaving the rainwater with you!"
He Yumo knew exactly what Jia Zhang was thinking. Wasn't she just thinking about the little benefit his brother gave to the deaf old lady?
Who is this Jia Zhang?
He Yumo clearly remembers the plot in "The Story of Siheyuan". Qin Huairu, the later daughter-in-law of Jia Zhang, handed over 3 yuan to her every month. As time went by, Jia Zhang was very stingy and never spent her own money. She saved up a small treasury for herself. Unexpectedly, when Qin Huairu fell ill and needed money (although it was a plan of Qin Huairu and Sha Zhu, Jia Zhang was not aware of it at the time), she refused to give out a penny!
What kind of person is this! How can He Yumo feel at ease leaving the rainwater with this kind of person who only takes in but never leaves? It would be better to leave it with the deaf old lady!
Besides, the deaf old lady now is not as old as in the TV series. She can move freely and nimbly, so taking care of a little girl is no problem for her!
"You, you, how do you talk to your elders?!"
"This... Yumo, please speak properly! Where did you learn this sarcastic tone... But, Auntie, thank you for your kindness. Since Yushui is willing, let her stay with the deaf old lady for now..."
"Hey! What a bunch of ungrateful guys!" Seeing that her plan was rejected, Jia Zhang slammed the door and left in annoyance!
"Yumo, why are you talking to people so rudely now? We all live in the same compound and see each other every day. This is not good!" After Jia Zhang left, He Yuzhu couldn't help but say.
