Courtyard House: The eldest son of the He family marries a woman who brings him good fortune.

Page 318

He already looked old, yet he was still complaining about his fate.

He Hongyang said, "Since they call you uncle, you should act like an uncle and not bother them anymore."

"But I..."

“I have no buts here. They are not Qin Huairu, nor are they Yu Haitang. Besides, they are still young. I will not allow you to say any nonsense to them.”

"I'll say it once today, and you'd better not make me say it a second time."

Xu Damao knew he was serious, and he also knew that his sister-in-law didn't even look at him.

For him, whether or not he could curry favor with a woman was not important; what was important was that he absolutely could not offend He Hongyang!

"I understand. I will be very polite to them from now on."

"It's not enough to just be polite; if they don't talk to you, you shouldn't talk to them either."

"Yes, I understand."

I saw He Hongyang talking to Liu Guangqi and Xu Damao separately outside.

Then he saw two more people bowing their heads to him.

The two sisters looked outside from inside the house and asked, "What is my brother-in-law saying to them? Could it be about us?"

“It must be. Mom already told him that both of them came looking for us.”

"Judging from their expressions, my brother-in-law must have given them a good beating. It seems they won't dare to cause me any more trouble."

“That would be great. With Liu Guangqi leaving the courtyard and Xu Damao living in the backyard, we will rarely have to deal with them in the future.”

"Luckily, my brother-in-law stood up for us, otherwise the two of us girls would have had no idea what to do."

Seeing He Hongyang return, the two people each surrounded him on one side: "Brother-in-law, what were you saying outside just now? Were you talking about us?"

He Hongyang said that these two people would not come to see them again, and that they would never speak to them again unless they were spoken to.

The two clapped their hands with joy: "Great! These two big problems are finally solved!"

“In the future, not only will they not come looking for us, but their families will not come looking for us either.”

“Brother-in-law, did you tell them that we are not in a hurry to find a partner? Even if we do find a partner, it has to be someone like you, brother-in-law. We will definitely not find them.”

These are the heartfelt words of two girls.

In his excitement, he blurted it out.

Wang Lili covered her mouth, embarrassed, and said, "Did we say something wrong again?"

He Hongyang smiled and said, "You guys are just simple-minded and outspoken."

"Won't you blame us?"

"Fool, if a girl has feelings for me, would I blame her?"

"Hehe, brother-in-law is the best!"

...

Since his two sisters-in-law came, He Hongyang felt that not only Wang Liying was bringing him good fortune, but Wang Lili and Wang Pingping were also bringing him good fortune.

Now, many people in Pigeon City are asking him for supplies.

Especially for in-demand goods like cigarettes and alcohol.

He has as much as they want.

And all of them were priced high.

Every time He Hongyang went out, he would put on makeup before making a transaction.

However, over time, it's inevitable that flaws will be revealed.

Sometimes I would send my two sisters-in-law.

They come from the countryside and don't have Beijing residency permits, so even if someone suspects something in the future, they won't be the ones to be suspected.

He Hongyang disguised them.

The price was agreed upon in advance.

All you have to do is go over, hand the packaged cigarettes and alcohol to that person, and then take the money back.

The two of them had no idea what they were doing.

I have no idea what's in the bag.

They thought the other party was his patient and that the medicine they brought was one he had prepared in advance.

So every time He Hongyang let them go out, they were very happy.

They thought this would not only help him, but also save lives.

"Brother-in-law, if you're just giving the medicine to those people, why do we need to disguise ourselves?"

"Doing good deeds anonymously, I don't want them to know who you are..."

"Then why won't you let us speak or ask us anything?"

“What you’re holding is exactly what they need. Since I’ve already said so beforehand, what else is there to ask?”

Wang Lili pulled Wang Pingping along, saying, "We just need to do what my brother-in-law says. Didn't he say before that nobody knows about this, not even Mom and my sister? Only we know."

"Brother-in-law trusts us and is trying to save lives, so please don't ask any more questions."

Wang Pingping nodded: "I definitely won't tell anyone. I was just a little curious, that's why I asked."

"Besides, there are only the three of us here now, and no one else knows about it."

He Hongyang opened a bottle of soda for each of them: "Didn't you say you had nothing to do in Beijing? This is helping me get things done."

"With so many of you, those people will definitely thank you."

Upon hearing this, the two girls realized they could both help He Hongyang and save lives.

Clapping their hands happily, they said, "We won't ask anymore. We'll do whatever you ask us to do, and we'll definitely do it well for you."

"Are there any missions tomorrow? Should we go back and prepare now?"

He Hongyang had told them that after delivering the items, they should immediately run back, without any delay.

In order to complete the task better, the two girls did housework at home every day and ran around the courtyard to exercise.

They firmly believe that only by becoming stronger can they better help He Hongyang.

With their help...

He accumulated more and more money.

They exchanged goods for money, and then exchanged the money for gold bars.

Looking at the increasing number of gold bars in his system space.

"Now that my family is doing well, I have more and more gold bars on hand, so it seems I won't have to worry about the future."

He not only helped the steel rolling mill complete its monthly tasks, but also helped other units get some food.

Of course, it wouldn't be as frequent as at the steel rolling mill; it would just be every few months, and they'd get a pig for them.

Those organizations were incredibly grateful.

Let's express our gratitude to him!

If He Hongyang were willing, they would all be eager to bring him to work at their company and pay him a salary immediately.

But He Hongyang always firmly refused: "I work for the steel rolling mill. Although my salary is only 50 yuan now, I have feelings for this factory and I will not leave."

Li Huaide and Factory Director Yang were so moved by what he said that they almost cried.

In their eyes, He Hongyang was both capable and righteous.

Their contributions to the factory were even greater than those of the factory director and the department head.

Let's raise his salary to 70 yuan, and his monthly bonus will be the highest in the factory.

Perhaps only by doing this can they express their feelings!

He Hongyang was riding high.

An uninvited guest arrived at the house.

This person was none other than He Daqing.

If life in Beijing is like this, life in Baoding is even worse.

He had to support several of the White Widow's children.

Chefs were originally a very lucrative profession; they not only earned a salary but also brought home a lot of delicious food. 4.2

But now, apart from the canteens of large factories, chefs like them have no work at all.

Who still eats at restaurants these days?

Unable to find work, they can only stay within their small plot of land.

But there was no harvest at all.

The family was starving.

The white widow thought of He Hongyang in Beijing.

Although he had suffered at the hands of He Hongyang before, and although he had righteously severed ties with He Daqing.

But after all, we're family.

In addition to He Hongyang, the He family also includes He Yuzhu and He Yushui.

Besides, Sha Zhu works in the steel mill canteen, so even if someone else goes hungry, his family won't.

He Yushui is now in her teens, a grown woman, and should be sensible by now.

If He Daqing went to Beijing, these kids might take pity on him and let him bring back some food.

He Daqing originally didn't want to go.

The last incident is still fresh in my mind.

He was even somewhat afraid of He Hongyang.

But he couldn't stand the white widow nagging in his ear every day, and he couldn't stand his own hunger.

I had no choice but to shamelessly return.

He had no money for the journey, so he could only hitch a ride with other people along the way.

When I arrived in Beijing, my clothes were tattered and I looked like a beggar.

Over the years, He Daqing has visibly aged.

Seeing the gate of the courtyard house made me incredibly sad.

Originally, I was also a city dweller with a job, and I could have had food coupons and rations like everyone else.

But for a woman, he abandoned his good life here and went to Baoding with her.

It's too late to say anything now.

He only hoped that He Hongyang would consider their past relationship and let him have a few days of good food.

To prevent others in the courtyard from seeing it like last time.

He first sneaked around outside for a while.

Seeing that there was no one ahead, he hurriedly arrived at the Intermediate People's Court.

203. He Daqing came to the door.

"Boom boom boom!"

Zhao Ailing was busy in the small kitchen when she saw someone knocking on her door.

The man was dressed in rags, and she thought he was some kind of beggar.

"Who are you looking for? How did you get in?"
