Chapter 115 Rain Column Collapse
Front yard of the Siheyuan

"Mom, give me the soy sauce bottle quickly. The guy from the pickle factory is here. If it's any later, he'll be gone." Yan Jiekuang shouted to Yang Ruiping.

Yang Ruiping handed over a bottle from the kitchen, "Where's the vinegar?"

"Hit it too, quickly." Yan Jiekuang went out with two bottles.

He always believed that the dishes from the pickle factory were authentic.

Not long after, Yan Jiekuang came back with bottles of soy sauce and vinegar, and also brought back a small jar of pickles.

"Mom, can you give me the ticket for honeycomb coal? Dad and I will go get the coal." Yan Jiekuang said as soon as he entered the house.

"You're not needed. Your father has already gone and will be back soon." Yang Ruiping was busy in the kitchen.

Yan Jiekuang wanted to go and meet his father, but he didn't expect that his father would come back as soon as he left, bringing two masters and a cart of coal with him.

Several people started to stack the coal at the corner between the north wing and the middle courtyard. His father gave him one dollar and the master left.

Yan Jiekuang said happily, "The ten thousand yuan you gave me for moving into the courtyard is one yuan now, and your honeycomb briquettes are another yuan. Is this the price you want?"

Yan Bugui was also happy and said, "At this price, it will be passed down from generation to generation."

Yang Ruiping shouted from the kitchen: "Add more coal, put out the fire, what are you talking about?"

The father and son came into the house happily carrying the coal.

After a while, Yan Jiedi came back, jumping up and down. Yan Bugui said, "You are already a grown-up girl, can't you behave yourself?"

"Brother, brother, I told my desk mate that I got a job, and he was so envious of me." Yan Jie Di said while hugging Yan Jie Kuang.

"Don't say anything. What will you do if he does something bad and reports you?" Yan Jiekuang said seriously.

Yan Bugui also figured it out when he heard it, and quickly said, "Tomorrow you can say you were joking and just wanted to scare him. You didn't say which unit you were working for, did you?"

Yan Jie Di also realized that she was too cocky and was about to cause trouble, so she quickly said, "I didn't say anything, I just said it casually."

Yan Jiekuang looked at his sister and said, "This matter is very sensitive. Never mention it again. From tomorrow on, deny that you have ever said it. Got it?"

Yan Jiedi was about to cry and said, "I understand."

"Didn't you see that my mother has the rolling pin in her hands? Go and comfort her quickly." Yan Jiekuang said.

Yan Jiekuang helped the director of the textile factory to repair a golden nanmu chair, but the price he paid was Yan Jiedi's temporary assignment, which was not in compliance with regulations. He had to occupy a workstation first and wait until he was old enough to go back to work.

After Yan Jiekuang finished his work, Yan Bugui took him out for a big drink. Yan Jiekuang knew that this girl was what his father cared about the most.

The cat disappeared for a while, and Yan Jiekuang was worried. He didn't have to watch Tiantian every day, but he felt uncomfortable when he couldn't see the cat. When the cat came back, Yan Jiekuang was angry because the cat was pregnant again.

Dabai, Erhei and Xiaobai were like guardian angels, staying in Yan Jiekuang's room and not leaving. The big cat was lying next to Yan Jiekuang's bed, which was a small bed that Yan Jiekuang had specially made.

Fortunately for Yan Jiekuang, a separate kitchen and bathroom were built in this room during the renovation, otherwise he would have to take them back to Yuer Hutong.

When they learned that Big Cat was pregnant, his mother was fine, but Yan Bugui and Yan Jiedi were so excited that they almost turned the house upside down.

Yan Bugui has always believed that the big cat is a divine cat. Apart from finding the secret room, all the cats and dogs in Nanluoguxiang listen to the big cat.

Yan Jie Di believed that her failure in raising the third child, Hei Bai, was because she was young at the time. Now that she is older and has nothing else to do, she decided to raise another one.

The cats of the eldest brother's family and the Jia family's cats have all gone to the west wing and never appear in the yard. The third black and white cat sometimes appears and sometimes disappears.

I don't go out every day. I just go to the door and lie down.

Most people in the yard knew that the big cat was pregnant, and some were already eager to try and wanted one, like He Yuzhu.

Yan Jiekuang didn't know who He Yuzhu wanted to give it to, but Yan Jiekuang told him that it would be three months later. He Yuzhu turned around and left. After three months, the opportunity had passed.

Just before August, it was a day off, and most of the neighbors were there. Yan Jiekuang was masturbating at the door. Yan Jiedi was reading a high school textbook at Yan Jiekuang's request. Two people stepped into the front yard, and everyone saw that they were Xu Damao and Yu Haitang.

The plate in Yan Jiecheng's hand fell to the ground. Yu Li rushed out and shouted to Yu Haitang, "What's wrong with you?"

Both of them were wearing red flowers given by the registration office, and holding candies and peanuts in their hands.

Xu Damao said happily: "Hey, sister, Yu Haitang and I love each other. We got married as soon as we saw each other."

Yan Jiecheng's mouth trembled a little, and he suddenly asked: "Does He Yuzhu know?"

Xu Damao was stunned and said, "What does my marriage have to do with He Yuzhu?"

Yu Li looked at Yu Haitang and shouted, "You're in big trouble."

"I never said that I like He Yuzhu. I have my choice." Yu Haitang said with his neck stiff.

Xu Damao was a little confused. The neighbors in the front yard were all watching him, so he had no choice but to go ahead and hand out wedding candies.

As soon as the two of them stepped through the hanging flower gate, they saw He Yuzhu at the door of the main house, staring at them with red eyes.

Yi Zhonghai shouted, "Da Mao, run." Xu Damao was startled and turned to run. When Yi Zhonghai ran to He Yuzhu, He Yuzhu had already grabbed the kitchen knife.

Yu Haitang was stunned and ran out of the courtyard with a scream.

Yan Jiekuang was stunned. What was going on? Xu Damao married Yu Haitang, but it had nothing to do with He Yuzhu.

Yi Zhonghai, Jia Dongxu, and Zhang Erzhu took a long time to hold He Yuzhu down. Yi Zhonghai kept talking, and at this time Yan Jiecheng and his wife also came to see He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu stared at Yan Jiecheng and said viciously, "Boss Yan, it's not fair to marry one woman to two families."

Yan Jiecheng immediately said with a solemn oath: "Impossible, I don't have it. If I do, you kill me and I will introduce it to you."

Yu Li said: "We don't know how Yu Haitang knew Xu Damao, you can ask the people at the steel mill."

He Yuzhu understood it instantly and went to ask the people at the steel mill, especially the Propaganda Department.

Yi Zhonghai advised: "They are already married, you can't mess around. If you have something to say, just say it, but don't do anything out of line, okay?" Yi Zhonghai even shouted at the end.

He Yuzhu said: "Uncle, I know, I won't make a fuss, don't worry, I just want to figure out what's going on."

Two days later, the truth was revealed. It was Yu Haitang who fell in love with Xu Damao, but Yu Haitang said that she had never mentioned being with He Yuzhu. This made He Yuzhu embarrassed.

Xu Damao really didn’t know that Yu Haitang was going on a blind date with He Yuzhu.

The fact was that they were getting married, and Xu Damao couldn't hold the banquet in the courtyard, so he held it in the canteen of the steel rolling mill. All the important people in the factory went, but He Yuzhu did not show up.

This incident was a big blow to He Yuzhu, but there was something even bigger. A few days later, He Yushui came back and said, "If I had known that you liked Yu Haitang, you would have asked me. She was my high school classmate, and we shared the same bunk bed."

He Yuzhu angrily scolded He Yushui and told her to get out. He Yushui said calmly: "My house is still here, what are you thinking?"

He Yuzhu was stunned. He seemed to have never known He Yushui before. Is this still the sister who has been around him since he was a child?

He Yushui seemed to know He Yuzhu's doubts and said, "You have no relatives. When your relatives left, you were enjoying your honor and forgot our existence. In your heart, we were at the back. When I was in school, did you ever visit me? Did you ever give me a penny? Who is in your heart?"

He Yuzhu felt a little guilty and was silent for a while. He looked at this sister who he knew but didn't know and said, "I treat you like everyone else, with all my heart."

"Yes, but why should I be the same as others? I am your biological sister, and Baoding is your biological father. Why should I be the same?" He Yushui said with tears on her face.

"You are a person who can't distinguish yourself from others, and you can't tell the difference between inside and outside," He Yushui said and turned away.

He Yuzhu squatted on the ground and cried bitterly.
