Courtyard House: Report enemy agents at the start, and you'll take off immediately.

Yu Haitang suggested that this was not a big deal at all.

Yu Meishu didn't explain further, but simply shook her head, saying that Yu Haitang didn't understand the reasoning behind it.

Zhao De, however, knew that there were actually many different versions of "Dream of the Red Chamber".

We benefited from that era when information was readily available.

Zhao De also has some knowledge of "Dream of the Red Chamber".

He had watched an edited version of the complete "Dream of the Red Chamber" through a short video platform.

Although I read it in a very rushed way, I can still roughly recall some of the content.

It seems that although the main content of the different versions is similar, the number of chapters varies.

For example, version A may be missing two chapters, but it includes commentaries by Zhiyan Zhai.

Version B may have more complete content, but it lacks annotations and footnotes for some paragraphs.

So, to each their own!

Zhao De explained the difference to Yu Haitang, which made Yu Meishu look at him in a new light.

"It would be great if we could find the last forty chapters of 'Dream of the Red Chamber'. It is said that they might be unearthed in some ancient tomb."

Yu Meishu rarely met someone with whom she could discuss "Dream of the Red Chamber," so she couldn't help but start talking.

"Perhaps it's because Cao Xueqin didn't finish writing it at the time!"

"Otherwise, since it hasn't been that long ago, it's unlikely that it wouldn't have survived."

Zhao De offered another perspective.

Are the last forty chapters really that important?

Yu Li felt left out; the topic was too sophisticated, so she chimed in with a question.

Yu Meishu replied, "Of course it's important for people who like 'Dream of the Red Chamber'!"

Zhao De smiled and said, "If anyone can find those forty chapters, I dare not say it will cause a sensation throughout the country, but it will definitely shock the entire city of Beijing!"

"You should know that there are quite a few experts and professors who specialize in studying 'Dream of the Red Chamber'!"

"This book is far more than just a novel; otherwise, it wouldn't be considered one of the Four Great Classical Novels."

Although Yu Li and Yu Haitang only half understood what they were hearing, they nodded in agreement.

Next, everyone worked together to decorate the new house.

It's nothing more than cutting out red "double happiness" characters and pasting them on the windows, waiting for the job to be done.

"Zhao De, did you buy this new cotton-padded coat for me?"

Yu Li saw a brand new women's cotton-padded coat, but didn't think much of it, just felt a little puzzled.

"Oh, that's for He Yushui."

Upon hearing her brother-in-law say that, Yu Haitang immediately perked up her ears.

Could this be a gift for He Yushui?

Thinking about this, she couldn't help but feel uneasy.

If that were the case, I would definitely feel terrible.

After all, Yu Haitang, as the younger sister, had never received Zhao De's first gift.

But He Yushui beat her to it.

Zhao De noticed the change in Yu Haitang's expression and couldn't help but feel a little amused and exasperated.

So he quickly explained the situation, saying that it was sent out under his name.

Actually, it was her brother who paid for it.

After Zhao De finished speaking, he glanced at Yu Haitang.

I figured this sister-in-law was already quite proud.

Now that she sees her older sister Yu Li marrying so well, her standards have probably risen even higher.

After much thought, I'm afraid I'll have to find a young cadre when the time comes.

"This rainwater really has it tough, getting stuck with such a clueless older brother!"

Yu Li and Yu Haitang were naturally aware of He Yushui's ordeal.

They couldn't help but shake their heads and sigh.

Zhao De didn't respond, thinking that it was all in the past.

With my intervention, He Yushui's life will definitely improve in the future.

Just then, outside the courtyard gate.

He Yushui saw Jia Dongxu being taken away in a tricycle.

Upon discovering that Silly Brother was not present, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

She rushed home and found her brother, nicknamed "Silly Brother," at home.

Just like Zhao De had done earlier, he asked Sha Ge curiously why he was staying at home again today.

After Sha Zhu answered, He Yushui was still a little worried and reminded him, "Brother Sha, you can't just blindly obey whatever Yi Zhonghai asks you to do!"

"No way! I sensed something was wrong and hid inside beforehand. He couldn't find me anywhere!"

Sha Zhu waved his hand, indicating that his sister didn't need to worry.

This greatly eased He Yushui's worries.

If Yi Zhonghai is involved because of Jia Dongxu's matter.

It would be terrible to make that idiot brother spend both money and effort again.

"Jia Dongxu looks really pitiful this time, idiot, do you think he might..."

He Yushui recalled the scene when she had just met Jia Dongxu.

He thought to himself that this time he might really be in grave danger.

Sha Zhu was silent for a while, then finally shook his head and sighed, "Who knows? I hope he can pull through."

Ultimately, we're all from the same neighborhood.

Seeing Jia Dongxu like this, Sha Zhu couldn't help but feel sorry for him.

Lunch was plentiful, with two meat dishes and two vegetable dishes.

It was all made from leftover ingredients from yesterday.

He Yushui couldn't help but sigh, it seems that Brother Zhao's advice was indeed correct.

Otherwise, Qin Huairu would definitely have taken two meat dishes from today's lunch.

All that was left for her to eat were two vegetarian dishes.

Thinking that Brother Sha had completely severed ties with the Jia family, the Yi Zhonghai family, and the deaf old lady.

He Yushui couldn't help but smile, knowing that she would be able to eat such delicious food often in the future.

"Silly girl, what are you laughing at!"

Sha Zhu was a little puzzled.

"By the way, where did Qin Huairu go?"

Chapter Sixty-Six: He Yuzhu and Qin Jingru meet!

He Yushui suddenly felt something was wrong.

Only then did they realize that only Jia Zhangshi was present, while Qin Huairu was not.

Furthermore, it's remarkable that Brother Sha managed to avoid trouble so easily this time.

Wasn't it because Qin Huairu didn't exert any effort?

"She went to the countryside."

Only then did Sha Zhu remember that Qin Huairu had been sent away by her younger sister, so he said:

"By the way, since you're off today, don't just stay at home. Go wherever you want to have fun."

"If all else fails, go ask Zhao De which hospital Qianqian is in and go see your sister Qianqian."

"Oh, then I need to finish my meal first!"

Reminded by Silly Brother, He Yushui remembered the new cotton-padded coat.

So he quickly ate the rice in his bowl.

After finishing her meal, He Yushui said goodbye contentedly and slipped out the door.

She made her way to the backyard, feeling exceptionally happy.

Silly Brother knows how to avoid being schemed against, and he's about to get a new cotton-padded coat.
