These remarks immediately gave rise to new comments from the neighbors around.

"Yes, it's silly... Zhuzi's salary is not particularly high here."

"It's obvious from all this. Qin Huairu must have seen that Zhuzi has no parents but only a brother and sister, and thought she could take advantage of him."

"You said that when Master Yi initiated donations for food and supplies, specifically targeting Zhuzi, could it be because of... this situation?"

"Think about it, it does make some sense."

“This is simply too much.”

"It is normal to lose the protection of one's parents, not to mention those who target poor families."

"What about Yi Zhonghai? He has a high income and is Jia Dongxu's master, but why doesn't he help the Jia family?"

"They did provide assistance, but they just wanted to share the burden among many people."

"I think that the Jia family and Master Yi... may have plans for Zhuzi."

"I think so."

"Shh!"

......

Qin Huai, standing outside the main hall in the front yard, felt as awkward as a chicken claw stuck in a dilemma, even though she didn't have such a thing.

He Yuzhu is really a stubborn character. What makes people smile bitterly is that every word he says is true and irrefutable.

"Qin Huairu, don't forget that you are Jia Dongxu's wife, and you are pregnant."

"I am an older married young man, not an idler."

"The baby in your belly is getting bigger and bigger. Even if you don't care about your reputation, I still have to take care of myself."

"Getting married and having children is my life plan. I beg you to stop visiting my house so often, okay?"

"If you continue like this, I will have no choice but to report your troubles to Director Wang of the Street Office and let her resolve it fairly."

Hearing this, Qin Huairu quickly pulled back his hands as if he had been electrocuted.

She did have her eyes on He Yuzhu, but she also knew that this would damage her own reputation - at least not before Jia Dongxu passed away!

At this moment, He Yuzhu's son He Yushui returned from school.

"Sister Qin, what are you doing at our door?"

"Rainwater, I..."

Qin Huairu had just opened her mouth when the door suddenly opened. She saw a cold figure opposite her. "Qin Huairu, don't waste your time chatting with me. You should go take care of your husband. Even if you don't have time, you should go to the hospital to see him. He is the most precious to you."

After a cold glance, he waved to his sister.

"Rainwater, go back."

"Ok."

He Yushui cooperated very well and walked past Qin Huairu and went straight to the main hall.

"Mr. He, please call me Master He or Brother Yuzhu. We are not familiar with each other, and I don't expect to have any in-depth interactions with you."

"To repeat what I said before, life is not easy now, but in our compound, your family is considered wealthy because you have that sewing machine and the factory you have now."

"If you can't even handle your situation, at least one-third of the community will starve to death."

“Also, if what I said yesterday confused you, I will explain it again.

I, He Yuzhu, have absolutely no intention of having anything to do with your Jia family.

At present, all I can do is take care of my sister, He Yushui."

"If you really have financial difficulties, I recommend you to seek help from Master Yi. He is Dongxu's master. According to traditional customs, once a teacher, always a father. Jia Dongxu is in trouble, and out of affection, he should take care of your family."

"Besides, Master Yi has no children. Why not let your son Bang Geng be his adopted grandson? When Bang Geng grows up and repays his kindness, their real estate and savings will naturally become your son's property. Isn't that good?"

"Think about it more, Qin Huairu. Instead of plotting against a small cook like me who only earns a meager salary, shouldn't you try to consolidate your relationship with Master Yi? After all, his monthly income is close to one hundred yuan."

After saying that, He Yuzhu didn't waste any more words, walked straight into the main room, and then closed the door heavily.

"Sister, what happened?"

Confused, He Yushui put his schoolbag on the table.

"What else could it be? We seem to have become the target of attention."

He Yuzhu looked outside the door intentionally, and raised his voice: "I'm very puzzled. My family is not rich, so why are we being targeted? Is it really because I lack the protection of my elders that I am easy to be bullied?"

"The rain is clear. If you encounter similar demands in the future, whether I am there or not, just tell the street office or the police station. We are in a new era society and no one should be extorting money by complaining.

Do you know? "

"I know, brother!"

He Yushui cleverly realized that He Yuzhu was not just talking to herself, so she also raised her voice to respond.

Qin Huairu, who was outside the door, looked extremely unhappy when she heard this. She wanted to say a few more words but finally chose to leave.

"Is my brother gone?"

He Yushui asked softly.

"Gone away."

He Yuzhu nodded, then brought the coal stove and placed a large pot of coarse rice porridge on the stone slabs under the eaves.

"Go wash your hands and get ready for dinner. It will be served soon."

"Okay, brother."

The rain responded and lowered its head.

At dinner time, He Yuzhu deliberately held the bowls and plates in his hands and squatted under the eaves in front of the main house of the owner.

The large bowl of porridge in his hand looked thick, but it still looked like porridge and was not a meal.

Paired with some ordinary shredded pickles, it is an ordinary dinner.

In fact, on the entire 95th Street, this level of food is considered relatively shabby. Most families would only have one or two steamed buns, or a dish of stewed cabbage.

"Zhu Zi, is this what you want to eat?"

“Actually, I’m craving meat, but it’s out of stock during this time.”

"Isn't this too plain?"

"The lunch at the factory is just OK, and we can rest at night, so it's OK to make do."

"You can be frugal, but your sister can't."

"So I gave my food coupons to Yu Shui so that she could have better meals at school at noon."

"You have thirty-seven dollars and fifty cents a month now. Is it necessary to save like this?"

“It’s really not necessary.

I have already lent out my family’s surplus food and savings to others, and I have to wait until the end of the month to get new food to restore it.”

"Haven't you taken back the household interest payment that Dad sent you?"

“Those are deposited in the bank and will not mature for some time.”

"I see. That's very generous of you."

After hearing this, Qin Huairu left silently with a heavy heart.

"The current situation is so turbulent that it is already difficult to make a living. Why think too much?"

...

Soon after the discussion, the topic spread throughout Compound 95.

After dinner, He Yushui washed the pots and utensils. During this time, Qin Huairu came over and talked to her for a few words.

"Brother, Aunt Qin came to me and said a few words just now."

He Yushui said this as he returned to the main house carrying the cleaned pots and plates.

"Did you say anything?" He Yuzhu asked while sipping his tea.

"She was just concerned about our living conditions and said that I needed to take in more nutrition at my age."

He Yushui responded.

“Haha, that does make sense.

He Yuzhu smiled and agreed with Qin Huairu's words.

"Brother, I think Aunt Qin's words may not be that simple. She really wants to check whether our diet is as simple as it seems.

"He Yushui said with an expression that showed that he already understood everything.

"Why do you think so?"

He Yuzhu asked curiously.

"Because she wanted to know what we eat."

He Yushui said with a smile that looked forward to praise, "If the dinner was a fake, there would definitely be food and oil stains left on the tableware.

That way she can see if our 'frugal living' is real."

"You have observed all of this, you are such a smart girl.

"He Yuzhu praised generously, and then said, "I hope you can continue to maintain this observation ability and keep a proper distance from the Jia family, those masters and the Xu family. These people are not simple."

"I understand, brother."

He Yushui nodded quickly in response.

In the past, He Yuzhu had exposed the ugly sides of these three large courtyards and the true faces of those beasts in front of his sister more than once.

Because He Yuzhu "understood"

In time, coupled with her intelligence, she became wary of everyone in the yard.

That’s right, in addition to her intelligence, the benefits given to her by He Yuzhu also contributed greatly.

After all, it was real meat! How many people outside would do anything to get enough food? Especially getting it from his own brother, it was out of concern for himself, so He Yushui naturally had no reason to refuse.

“Performed very well.

"He Yuzhu nodded and praised, "Remember to take your schoolbag to your room to finish your homework after dinner, and then before going to bed...you know what to do.

"

“I’ll do it, brother.

"As soon as he heard that there was something delicious, He Yushui immediately nodded in agreement.

"Okay, go and rest, and don't let any outsiders in.

"He Yuzhu smiled and warned.

Hearing this, He Yushui picked up her schoolbag and could clearly feel that the things inside were heavier than usual. She couldn't help but smile: "Brother is so nice!"

"That's natural, dear.

"He Yuzhu responded with a smile, and watched his sister run to the east wing, close the door, turn on the light and start reading and writing.

Seeing Yi Zhonghai and the Jia family in silence, he thought again: “I hope it won’t bother me again, otherwise I might as well shoot them one by one and throw them into the copy space to deal with them cleanly.

"

A hint of coldness flashed across He Yuzhu's eyes, but it was not just something he was thinking about.

Unlike others who only know how to avoid problems, he now tends to solve the culprits who create problems.

If it weren't for his worldview from the future and his law-abiding character, which gave He Yuzhu moral constraints, he would have dealt with all the problematic creatures in the entire compound long ago after knowing that he had become He Yuzhu and had a copy space.

He closed and locked the door, walked into the inner room and took out the bag that Ma Hua had given him. When He Yuzhu opened the pocket and saw the spear in his hand, he couldn't help but show a look of surprise.

"Oh my God! It's this gun!!!" He Yuzhu was shocked by the weapon in his hand.

This rifle provided by a Malay Chinese father is also automatic, but it is not a Type 2 or model, but an M carbine!

He Yuzhu got to know it thanks to a UP host he was familiar with in the past. This guy is an avid weapons enthusiast who focuses on making videos overseas about weapons from various war historical periods, including World War I, World War II, and the Korean War.

His videos have astonishing viewership, reaching tens or even millions of views on a single platform.

In the past, He Yuzhu often sighed and half-jokingly proposed to go to his world to experience the exhilarating shooting himself.

However, before this journey was realized, He Yuzhu had already traveled here.

The M2 Carbine is essentially an M1 Carbine with a quick-change mechanism added, capable of semi-automatic or fully automatic fire.
