Chapter 13: Master of wool harvesting
At night, He Yuzhu was lying on the bed thinking about what he should buy for his sister’s dowry to make her sister more respectable.
The legendary three turns and one ring?
If the dowry is prepared, the woman will have face, but the man will not look good in terms of face.
For the sake of my sister’s future happy life, it’s better not to prepare all three things. I’m so smart.
He Yuzhu praised himself silently.
In fact, he just wants to do things above the bottom line allowed by the times.
In this way, if the character of the husband's family is good, everyone will be happy; if the character of the husband's family is not good, it can be seen clearly early.
Since something was going to happen, He Yuzhu thought of another place where he could collect wool and teach Xu Damao a profound lesson.
That's right, it's the natal family of Xu Damao's daughter-in-law Lou Xiao'e - the Lou family.
The head of the Lou family is a person known as Lou Bancheng. How can he be worthy of coming to this era if he doesn't go out to collect wool once?
Even if He Yuzhu doesn't go harvesting wool, his family will still be liquidated during the special period in two years. He might as well take advantage of himself, a working-class person with a well-established background.
If the Lou family is generous enough, he can also remind them of something, it depends on what kind of person they are.
On Saturday morning, He Yuzhu specially dressed up and put on the neatest work clothes. He looked like a young man in his early twenties.
Unlike its predecessor, a slovenly young man in his twenties and thirties lived like a middle-aged man in his forties.
When I went out, I met Xu Damao.
"Silly Zhu, where are you going if you are so beautiful?" Xu Damao was also curious, but he would not have anything nice to say about He Yuzhu, "Don't you plan on becoming someone's son-in-law?"
"Sorry, I really have a date."
He Yuzhu did not lose the battle. He went to the Lou family unilaterally and said that he had an appointment with the Lou family. He also misled Xu Damao into thinking about a date between a man and a woman.
"Zhuzi, didn't I tell you to introduce my cousin to you? How did you...?"
Qin Huairu on the side believed it and suddenly became anxious.
"Based on my conditions, it's normal to be so popular, right?" He Yuzhu made a mistake. He wanted to see Qin Jingru as soon as possible, so he had to give Qin Huairu a sense of urgency.
Unless the Jia family doesn't want to suck his blood anymore, is this possible?
Sure enough, after hearing He Yuzhu's words, Qin Huairu immediately put down the clothes in her hands and turned around to enter the house.
She planned to tell her mother-in-law and go to the countryside to pick up her cousin into the city. Otherwise, when He Yuzhu finds someone, and their two families are not relatives, life will be difficult.
If Qin Huairu wants to live a better life in the Jia family, she must find someone to suck blood, and He Yuzhu is the first choice.
"Oh, I don't believe you can find a wife." Xu Damao doubted it himself, but he refused to admit defeat.
Growing up, the two of them were constantly competing for each other, and Xu Damao was better off than He Yuzhu in finding a wife.
If He Yuzhu also finds a wife, then there will be no way to tease him about being a bachelor.
No, I have to give birth to a baby as soon as possible. I’ll make Silly Zhu mad.
He Yuzhu didn't know what was going on in Xu Damao's heart and ignored him. He gave him a meaningful smile and turned around and left.
Arriving in front of Lou's house, He Yuzhu looked at the small single-family villa and sighed.
No wonder they were knocked down. Most people live in a family of just twenty or thirty square meters in a house with a monthly income of dozens of yuan. The Lou family lives in a small detached villa and has servants to take care of them. What does it cost every month?
You don’t have to work all the time, but you can receive dividends from the steel rolling mill worth tens of thousands of dollars.
Even without Xu Damao, there would still be others who would be jealous of their family and falsely accuse them.
He Yuzhu knocked on the door and told his servant that he had something important to see Director Lou, so he was invited into the living room for tea.
"Please wait a moment. The master is in the study. I'll go and make an announcement."
"Hello, comrade, are you looking for me with something important?" Director Lou asked, looking at the young man in front of him who was dressed neatly and simply, but showed an unusual confidence.
As a time traveler with a golden finger, his life is not in danger, how can he not be confident?
"Hello, Director Lou, I am He Yuzhu, the chef of Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill. It's our first time meeting you, so please forgive me for coming uninvited." He Yuzhu replied neither humble nor overbearing.
"Why are you looking for me?" Director Lou asked doubtfully.
He Yuzhu didn't speak, just looked at the servants around him.
"You guys go down first." Director Lou waved his hand to signal people not to stay.
"I'm here this time to exchange a piece of news for some money. As for how much I can exchange for, it's up to you.
Your son-in-law Xu Damao has promiscuous relations with men and is infertile."
He Yuzhu said it straightforwardly, without any mystery.
Because he knew that a person like Lou Bancheng would definitely verify the news himself.
"Please wait a moment." Although he was a little surprised when he heard the news, he was absolutely sure that he would handle it well.
After a while, Director Lou brought a suitcase filled with various bills and coins, as well as two large yellow croakers.
Not counting the large yellow croaker, the contents inside definitely exceeded 10,000 yuan. He Yuzhu didn’t expect Lou’s board of directors to be so generous.
He Yuzhu just took one look and closed the box.
Director Lou kept staring at He Yuzhu, and when he saw that he just glanced at the huge amount of money without any excitement, he suddenly felt that he was a little secretive.
He Yuzhu pondered for a moment. In the 1960s, households with ten thousand yuan were definitely rare. Even if ordinary workers did not eat or drink, they would still have to save for decades.
"Director Lou, I have to ask you to provide a reasonable certificate for this money. In addition, I will give you one more piece of news for free. The situation above is serious now. If you have a way out, make arrangements as soon as possible. Be careful of the villains around you." He Yuzhu said for a year.
A little bit of news was revealed later.
After listening to this, Director Lou's face changed drastically. He had also heard some specious news, but he didn't expect this unique chef to speak out with confidence.
How can this be news that ordinary people can get?
Is it a scam?
Director Lou was shocked and confused. After a while, he wrote a certificate to He Yuzhu, proving that he had obtained the money from the Lou family through his cooking skills, and it also had the official seal of the director of the steel rolling mill.
At the same time, another identical suitcase was given to He Yuzhu.
He Yuzhu was not polite, took the certificate and suitcase and left directly. No matter what Director Lou said, he refused to say another word.
Director Lou sent He Yuzhu to the door. No matter whether the news he told was true or not, it was definitely right to prepare the way out first.
However, Xu Damao's matter must be settled first. He is just a daughter, so what's the point of marrying a homeless person?
After leaving the Lou family, He Yuzhu immediately resumed his funny otaku attributes, "Huh, it's so tiring to hold on."
"However, I didn't expect the Lou family to be so generous. I am indeed a master of wool harvesting." He Yuzhu was secretly proud.
After meeting my sister’s partner’s house tomorrow, I can go shopping directly.
