Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

Chapter 2487 Persuading Li Jiang

Having received He Yuzhu's idea, Sha Zhu couldn't sit still and dragged Xu Damao out the door.

The two met He Yuwei at the door.

He Yuzhu gave a brief introduction, and then they parted ways.

He Yuwei said curiously, "He's that silly Zhu who has a name similar to yours."

"Yes."

He Yuwei asked in bewilderment, "Who exactly is Qin Huairu that she could be so infatuated with him?"

This girl, after learning about Sha Zhu's situation from Shi Huifang, has been very curious ever since.

He Yuzhu was too lazy to explain, so he asked her, "Why did you come here today?"

"I don't have class this afternoon, so I'll bring my dirty clothes over and wash them at your place."

"You came all this way just to do laundry? Can't you just wash it at your own home?"

He Yuzhu prepared a 200-square-meter apartment for her near her school, which was already fully furnished.

A cleaning lady comes to clean the house every other week.

He Yuwei said with a smile, "There's not much good food at my family's place."

I just called and you said you were home, so I came over. Make me something nice to eat.

He Yuzhu had no choice but to resign himself to cooking for her.

I originally planned to have my parents come and stay with me, but after staying here for half a month, they felt uncomfortable and went back to their rural hometown.

Right now, he's at home overseeing the house repairs.

They didn't want to live in the city, so He Yuzhu paid for them to renovate their house.

He Yuzhu quickly prepared the meal, and He Yuwei washed her hands and sat down to eat.

"Really delicious."

"The food at your school must be pretty good too." This girl applied to Tsinghua University, and He Yuzhu had eaten at the cafeteria there.

The price is reasonable, and the taste is not bad either.

He Yuwei said, "That's not as good as my brother's cooking. You never used to cook at home, how come your skills have improved so much now?"

"I learned it from the family recipes passed down in Sha Zhu's family," He Yuzhu explained.

Qin Huairu valued Sha Zhu's money but not his recipes, which is why Sha Zhu was able to keep the He family's ancestral recipes.

To thank He Yuzhu, Sha Zhu gave him the recipe.

He Yuzhu was just looking for an excuse to explain the issue of his skills, so he accepted it without hesitation.

The He family's recipes contain many secret ingredients and are quite valuable.

For example, the trick that Sha Zhu pulled at Yan Jiecheng's restaurant back then relied on the He family's ancestral recipe.

Sha Zhu later passed on a few secret recipes, but he didn't pass on the best ones to Ma Hua.

Without Sha Zhu in charge, the food at Chuanweiju is definitely not as good.

However, it's not a big problem.

He Yuwei then told He Yuzhu about the interesting things that happened at school.

“My classmate saw that I took my clothes out to wash every two or three days and asked me if I had a place to wash them.”

"You told them?"

"No. If they knew I owned a house near the school, how could I possibly stay at school?"

Beautiful and rich girls are especially hated.

"A narcissist," He Yuzhu commented.

He Yuwei raised her chopsticks, ready to fight He Yuzhu, but He Yuzhu shut her up with a question: "Do you still want the car?"

"Yes, when are you going to buy it for me?"

"Hurry up and eat. After we finish eating, I'll take you to buy a car." He Yuzhu figured he'd have to buy one sooner or later, so he decided to do it today.

He Yuwei passed her driving test (Part 3) and got her driver's license on the first Sunday after her military training.

After that, I practiced driving with Shi Huifang every week.

He Yuzhu promised her he would give her a car when she got her driver's license.

The two fools left He Yuzhu's house and went straight to Li Jiang's house.

Although Li Jiang said he didn't care about Sha Zhu, he was actually keeping an eye on him secretly.

Sha Zhu's performance during this period has earned Li Jiang's approval.

But upon seeing Sha Zhu, his attitude remained the same as before: "What are you doing here?"

Sha Zhu, on the other hand, put on a fawning expression: "Brother-in-law, Xu Damao and I came here because it's very important." He was afraid that Li Jiang wouldn't listen to him, so he hinted to Xu Damao to speak.

Xu Damao said, "Shazhu is right. This is really a very important matter for us."

This is a matter of great importance, concerning revenge against the rain.

Call Li Dong back, and we'll talk about it together then.

Li Jiang gave Xu Damao face and let the two of them in.

"What exactly happened? How did it get involved in avenging the rain again?"

Sha Zhu quickly gave the information that He Yuzhu had prepared to Li Jiang.

"Take a look at this. I've discovered that the Banggeng family are spies, and they've come to you and Li Dong for help."

Out of professional habit, Li Jiang became wary upon hearing the word "spy."

How did you discover it?

Following He Yuzhu's suggestion, the two began by reconciling their accounts, eventually discovering that the Jia family's money came from illegitimate sources.

Then there was the matter of having someone follow the Jia family and discovering evidence.

Li Jiang looked at the documents carefully: "No, that's not right. How did you determine that these things were done by Bang Geng?"

Sha Zhu remembered what He Yuzhu didn't want to reveal, so he said, "Brother-in-law, don't ask so many details."

If you don't believe me, you can investigate secretly.

“I will definitely investigate. But you have to tell me who helped you get these things.”

"Don't let yourselves be used," Li Jiang said seriously.

Xu Damao whispered, "Don't ask such detailed questions. The person who helped us compile these materials can't come forward."

We've come to you hoping that Li Dong can come forward and provide some evidence.

All the credit belongs to Li Dong.

Li Jiang was taken aback, but then he understood what the two meant. Li Dong really needed a real credit.

With this achievement, Li Dong has the opportunity to take a step forward.

He couldn't get promoted because he didn't have anyone above him and didn't have enough merit.

He used all his connections to try and give his two children a chance.

Can you guarantee that there are no problems with these materials?

"Yes," they both said in unison.

Although they hadn't known He Yuzhu for long, the two trusted him implicitly.

After thinking about the information for a while, Li Jiang said, "Okay, I'll call Dongdong and Miaomiao."

Sha Zhu was relieved to hear that Li Jiang had agreed and sat back on the sofa.

Xu Damao gestured for him to speak, but he still didn't understand.

Left with no other option, Xu Damao spoke up for him: "Here's the thing. After Dongdong finds the evidence, have Shazhu take these documents to Cheng Chenliang."

"There are some things that are better left for him to handle."

Li Jiang asked, "Was this also an idea that person gave you?"

Sha Zhu sat up straight: "Yes. He said that this case involves many people."

It wouldn't be good for us to just blurt it out.

I happen to owe a favor to the higher-ups, so I thought I'd repay it.

Li Jiang fell into deep thought.

According to the information provided, there are about a dozen spies involved, as well as quite a few officials.

Reporting it would definitely be a great achievement.

However, there are quite a few people you might offend.

There are several officials who hold high positions and wield great power, and their families simply cannot afford to offend them.

Taking all the credit for themselves would be enough to kill the Li family.

"Okay, I agree."

When Li Dong and Li Miao returned and saw Sha Zhu, their expressions turned very unpleasant. They spoke to Xu Damao but didn't even greet Sha Zhu.

In the end, it was Li Jiang who spoke up, and only then did the two reluctantly call him "uncle."

Even so, Sha Zhu was already very satisfied.

The last time Sha Zhu heard the two of them call him "uncle" was five or six years ago. (End of Chapter)
