Chapter 818: Chapter 819: 1960s Quadrangle Courtyard 67

Zhang Yu had no idea that even though she’d become known as the tough girl who wasn’t easy to bully, there were still people plotting against her.

If she knew, that would only mean one thing: she hadn’t hit them enough. If one beating wasn’t enough, then two would suffice.

Really, they should think about who she is. She’s Zhang Yu. Not taking advantage of others is already pretty commendable, yet they still want a piece of her—it’s like they think about nonsense all day long.

After a long discussion, Zhang Yu checked the bills and calculated the balance. Seeing there was still a surplus, she didn’t spend any more money.

After tidying herself up a bit, Zhang Yu was ready to go buy something as thanks to Director Wang for taking care of Zhang Li these past few days.

Zhang Li had been feeling down lately. It wasn’t that Director Wang’s family was treating her poorly, but rather that Zhang Yu wasn’t by her side, and she was on a business trip—a fact that frightened the young girl, constantly reminding her of Zhang Hao’s accident while out delivering goods.

If it were up to the young girl, of course, she wouldn’t want Zhang Yu to go on business trips, but she also understood that it was work and something unavoidable. Her heart, however, remained anxious.

When she came out and saw Zhang Yu at the school gate, her excitement shot through the roof, and she ran over quickly, "Sister, you’re back."

"Yes, I got home today," Zhang Yu stared at Zhang Li for a while and finally let out a breath of relief, seeing that no one had bullied her.

Although she had an idea, she still wanted to confirm, "No one bullied you, right?"

Bang Geng just then appeared, and upon hearing Zhang Yu’s words, he immediately ran away in fear.

Zhang Yu watched him run in a direction that wasn’t the way home but didn’t think much more of it, possibly assuming the kid just wanted to play for a bit longer before going home.

"That boy didn’t bully you, did he?" Zhang Li had severely lectured Bang Geng last time letting him know that he wasn’t the only one who could bully others.

It’s just unknown whether this indestructible roach would reappear to cause more trouble.

Seeing how Bang Geng scurried away, Zhang Li snorted coldly, "He can’t beat me in the first place. If it weren’t for that evil old man and Sha Zhu helping him, this kid would have been dealt with long ago."

"And now his school days are not easy." Everyone knows Sha Zhu has become a eunuch and who did it.

Although Zhang Yu doesn’t know whether Bang Geng, like his grandmother, is prone to hitting people, she never forgets to remind her own child to stay away from Bang Geng, or they would regret it too late.

"Now, no one wants to play with Bang Geng, serves him right." The young Zhang Li certainly feels no sympathy for Bang Geng; in her eyes, the boy is as good as ruined.

Along the way, Zhang Li chatted animatedly about school and the matters of the quadrangle courtyard, "Sister Yushui told me the houses have been transferred to her name. Sha Zhu is now living at home and in her previous house, she must pay rent."

"She also said that the Deaf Old Lady used her connections to bail out Yi Zhonghai, giving Sister Yushui two thousand yuan."

"After Sister Yushui graduates from high school, she’ll be arranged to work in a steel mill, apparently as a broadcaster."

The young girl remembered what He Yushui had previously told her and hurriedly shared it with Zhang Yu.

So that’s how it is. Well, it makes sense—if the benefits weren’t promising, not just He Yushui, even He Daqing wouldn’t have agreed.

Now that the money has been received, He Yushui got a job, and the house transfer is completed, He Daqing’s mission this time back is more than fulfilled.

"That’s very good." Wanting to thoroughly ruin Yi Zhonghai in one go isn’t easy, especially with the Deaf Old Lady around, who would never agree to let her significant other face calamity.

Zhang Yu was quite curious about how Sha Zhu agreed to the house transfer; it was only later that she learned He Daqing had transferred the house to Sha Zhu before escaping.

"How could Sha Zhu agree to the house transfer?" Zhang Yu really didn’t understand.

"Grandpa He said that if Sha Zhu didn’t transfer the house, he would follow his arrangements, finding a widow with children under two years old to marry Sha Zhu—it would be perfect for taking care of him."

"Either transfer the house to He Yushui, and give Five Yuan a month for living expenses before He Yushui gets married, after which He Yushui doesn’t have to pay."

"Let He Yushui live in the ear room until he dies, but only He Yushui can live there, no one else."

"Especially Qin Huairu and her children, and anyone related to Qin Huairu, otherwise just kick them out."

"Sister Yushui also promised that after she gets married, her first and second child will both take the surname He, and she must have a son."

"She will also take care of Sha Zhu." Zhang Li said happily, "I heard from Yan Jiedi that Qin Huairu was very upset after learning about the transfer of Sha Zhu’s house."

"She has been bad-mouthing Sister Yushui in the courtyard, saying how a girl could snatch her family’s house."

Zhang Yule laughed, "How could she not be anxious?"

"She didn’t scheme for our family’s house, but ended up getting men involved instead."

"She could only eye Sha Zhu’s house." Even if Jia Dongxu didn’t die, Qin Huairu wouldn’t let Sha Zhu get married.

Otherwise, who would help with matchmaking arrangements, what about Bang Geng’s future marital house? Qin Huairu has put all these responsibilities on Sha Zhu’s head.

"Exactly, Grandpa He, upon hearing this, straight up confronted her, saying if Sha Zhu wasn’t impotent, how could the house be transferred to Yushui."

"Since he’s already impotent, he shouldn’t hinder the big affairs of the He Family, otherwise who knows whose hands the house could fall into."

"I heard from Yushui that since the news of the house transfer spread, Qin Huairu has never been to the hospital again."

"At first, she kept running to the hospital, but later on, alas." Zhang Li used to have a good impression of Qin Huairu, thinking she had a hard life.

But going through these events, Zhang Li realized Qin Huairu is not at all what she thought.

"The former Qin Huairu might have been nice, but in the Jia Family’s environment, how could she remain good after staying there for a long time?"

"Bang Geng turned out this way, Lady Jia Zhang bears most of the responsibility, but doesn’t Qin Huairu bear some too?"

"Does Bang Geng steal less often?"

"But every time a fuss arises, Lady Jia Zhang would start crying and making scenes, invoking Old Jia, while Qin Huairu would be there hugging Bang Geng and crying."

"Always saying the child is still young, ’steal a needle at three, steal gold when grown,’ doesn’t she know this principle?"

"All she knows is that she can’t let Bang Geng be locked up, can’t let him go into juvenile detention, otherwise his reputation will be ruined."

"Her starting point isn’t wrong, any mother wouldn’t want her child to end up like this."

"But has she ever truly disciplined Bang Geng?"

"The mistakes he made initially, Bang Geng is still making them, without any reflection, which shows, Qin Huairu has never really taught him."

"This kind of excessive indulgence..." Zhang Yu could only say, "when the child grows up, there will be places that will teach him."

Outsiders won’t indulge Bang Geng, and as for Lady Jia Zhang’s tantrums and complaints, outsiders don’t care.

As for Qin Huairu, once Bang Geng grows up and she gets older, a beauty crying won’t work anymore, unless solved with money.

With Bang Geng’s airs, how much money can Yi Zhonghai and He Yuzhu have left, that’s another issue.
