Next, He Yuzhu began to state his own dilemma.
He Yuzhu said a lot, but he could sum it up in one sentence: Lou Xiao'e had feelings for him, and Qin Huairu had justice for him. It was a dilemma between love and righteousness. The palms and backs of his hands were all flesh, and he couldn't let go of either of them.
In Cao Zhiqiang's view, He Yuzhu's behavior is to put it bluntly, he wants to have both, eating what is in the bowl and looking at what is in the pot, which is a very normal male psychology.
Let alone him, even Cao Zhiqiang himself has struggled like this.
It's just that Cao Zhiqiang has a lower moral limit and is more self-aware. Plus he has a lot of money and power, so naturally he can secretly fly some colorful flags.
But He Yuzhu is different.
He Yuzhu is a very traditional good man, and his moral level is also that of a traditional good man. In addition, he is more restricted by the environment. Even if he thinks about hugging him, he just thinks about it and never dares to say it outright.
In other words, he thinks he is a good man and wants to be a good man, so he must treat himself according to the standards of a good man.
What is a good man? Be loyal to your wife and don't flirt with women outside.
If you were Xu Damao, he wouldn't worry about this. Of course, he would do it in whatever way is beneficial to him.
But in He Yuzhu's view, he really liked Lou Xiao'e and had true feelings for Lou Xiao'e. She was also the only woman he had ever truly loved in his life, so Lou Xiao'e was not only love to him, but also a debt.
But Lou Xiao'e left that year. In the past sixteen years, Qin Huairu has been by his side to take care of him. Moreover, he and Qin Huairu have been an old couple for sixteen years. Even if it is not love, it is still considered love. Family affection.
The love of the past and the companionship of the present make it difficult for He Yuzhu to choose.
He Yuzhu doesn't like to choose, but now that Lou Xiao'e is back, not only Lou Xiao'e is forcing him to choose, but Qin Huairu and everyone in the yard seem to be forcing him to choose, which gives him a headache.
Until now, he had become a loner in the yard. Not only was Qin Huairu gone, but other people also ignored him, acting as if he had become a bad person.
He thought about it and didn't sleep all night, and finally felt that he had to discuss it with Cao Zhiqiang.
Because He Yuzhu felt that Cao Zhiqiang was the smartest among the people in the courtyard, and Cao Zhiqiang had reminded He Yuzhu of this incident from the beginning, not to mention that He Yuzhu was Cao Zhiqiang’s business partner, so He Yuzhu felt that at this time, he We can only come to Cao Zhiqiang for advice, and no one else can, at least not objectively and neutrally enough.
"Qiangzi, you said this was a big deal." He Yuzhu slapped his thigh at the end, "Didn't I just pass it? Who didn't? Now it's like I've become a bad guy and they don't pay attention to me. Well, who should I ask to reason with this?"
Cao Zhiqiang crossed his legs, touched his chin and said, "Uncle He, I understand what you said. To put it bluntly, you came here because you were isolated in the yard after this incident and felt upset. I’m looking for a sense of recognition and giving some ideas along the way, right?”
He Yuzhu blinked and patted his thigh again: "Hey, that's what happened. If you don't think you're smart, you can tell right away!"
Cao Zhiqiang smiled: "Uncle He, actually everyone is isolating you now, not because they hate you, but because they are afraid of you."
"Afraid of me?" He Yuzhu was stunned, "What are you afraid of me for?"
"Of course I'm afraid you'll leave," Cao Zhiqiang said.
"Afraid that I'll leave?" He Yuzhu frowned, "How is this possible? I won't leave!"
"But they don't know." Cao Zhiqiang laughed.
Immediately afterwards, Cao Zhiqiang continued his analysis: "Uncle He, look, as far as I know, many people in the current courtyard have moved away. The remaining people, except for your family, Uncle Yi's family, The second uncle’s family seems to have dinner with your family, right?”
"Yes, that's right." He Yuzhu said, "It's just a matter of a few more pairs of chopsticks, and I don't lack them. What's wrong? Is there a problem?"
Cao Zhiqiang smiled and said: "No, what you did is a good thing, but it is precisely because of this that everyone, at least those who eat with you, are reluctant to leave you and don't want you to leave the courtyard and follow Lou Xiao'e.
But the problem is, comparing their feelings, they think according to their own ideas, you don't seem to have much reason to stay. There is a high probability that you will divorce Aunt Qin, leave with Lou Xiao'e, and then go to Hong Kong to live a good life together. "
"Nonsense!" He Yuzhu immediately retorted, "Who said that? Who is corrupting me? Who told you? Who? It's nothing!"
"Don't worry." Cao Zhiqiang said with a smile, "No one has mentioned this to me. I will conduct a rational analysis based on what you said, what I saw, and what I know, and then make a rational inference. .”
After smiling again, Cao Zhiqiang said: "So, Uncle He, if you want to solve this matter, it's actually very simple. You just need to tell everyone your true thoughts, so that everyone can take reassurance and know that you will not leave. They just go with Aunt Lou, that's fine.
But you have never made your position clear, and you are always so hesitant and preoccupied, which inevitably makes people confused.
Especially for Aunt Qin, you should take the initiative to show your kindness and tell her your true thoughts so that she can stop worrying.
But if you don't express your position clearly now and always avoid it, it will only make things worse. "
He Yuzhu frowned: "It seems that this is really the case, but, but..."
After tilting his head, He Yuzhu said: "But, actually, I haven't thought about it yet, I haven't thought about what to do."
Cao Zhiqiang smiled: "Why, you don't really plan to leave with Aunt Lou and live in Hong Kong, do you?"
He Yuzhu sighed: "To be honest, if you say you don't think so, it would be a lie. If you don't mention anything else, let's just talk about my eldest son. By the way, I remember you were there at the time. Have you met my son?"
"Yes, I've seen him before." Cao Zhiqiang chuckled, "He's quite handsome and quite sensible."
He Yuzhu laughed loudly: "Yes, hahaha."
After laughing, He Yuzhu said: "So, let's not talk about my debt to Lou Xiao'e back then. Let's just say that Lou Xiao'e gave birth to such a son for me. You talk about me, I, hey, I don't know what I should do. good."
Cao Zhiqiang shook his head: "So, Uncle He, what do you think? In other words, do you want to leave or stay?"
"I..." He Yuzhu frowned, "Normally I should leave, but I can't let it go. I can't let go of everything here. What's more, I have lived here for decades, and I am suddenly asked to leave here and go to Dali Hong Kong is far away and I am unfamiliar with the place. I am also scared."
"So you want to stay?" Cao Zhiqiang asked.
He Yuzhu frowned, then sighed, directly picked up the tea cup, and drank it down regardless of the fact that the tea was cold.
Cao Zhiqiang poured a cup of hot tea for He Yuzhu again, and then said: "I understand, so Uncle He, do you want to listen to my advice?"
"Say, you say." He Yuzhu nodded, "I'm here to listen to your ideas."
Cao Zhiqiang smiled and said: "Well, in the past two days, especially when Aunt Lou is here, don't make a decision in a hurry. Let your temperament go first. You can do whatever you want. There is no need to force it. Make your own decisions.
As for the final choice...
This is what I think, you don’t have to force yourself to make a choice immediately.
As long as you follow your own temper these two days and do what you want to do and what you think you should do, then in the process of doing those things, you will figure out whether you want to leave or not. Keep.
Any dilemma between love and loyalty is just caused by you being pushed too hard.
In fact, you have already made a decision in your heart, but now you are overwhelmed by the surrounding environment, morality, etc.
But as long as you calm down, you will eventually know what choice you should make.
So my suggestion is, don’t choose, just follow your temper and do whatever you want.
In the end, you must be able to figure out what you want.
At that time, it won't be a problem for you whether to go or to stay. "
He Yuzhu thought for a while, frowned, and then suddenly slapped his thigh again: "That's right, that's right! It's my choice, I don't have a choice, I'll do whatever I want!"
After saying that, He Yuzhu took up the cup of hot tea that Cao Zhiqiang had just poured for him and drank it in one gulp. Then he stood up and said: "Qiangzi, thank you. You have helped me a lot. After that, I won't delay you." It’s time to rest, let’s go first.”
Cao Zhiqiang also stood up: "Uncle He, why don't we have breakfast together? It looks like you haven't had breakfast yet?"
"No, no." He Yuzhu waved his hand, "The food here is Western food. Not only is it expensive, but I'm still not used to it. I'd better go back to the street to drink bean juice and eat fried dough sticks."
Speaking of this, He Yuzhu took a breath: "Actually, I was just upset. Fortunately, you gave me some insight and let me know what I should do.
Well, that's it, I'll cook you a delicious meal later as a thank you gift, that's all I can do. "
Cao Zhiqiang smiled and nodded: "Okay, that's it, then I won't give it to you."
"No, no, no," He Yuzhu said as he walked towards the door, "I can just walk by myself. You can rest."
After saying that, He Yuzhu opened the door and left, taking the initiative to close the door after going out.
Seeing that the door was closed by He Yuzhu from the outside, Cao Zhiqiang shook his head: "Sure enough, I only called you the wrong name, not the wrong nickname, Silly Zhu. Sure enough, I called you the wrong name. It is indeed a bit silly!"
After yawning again, Cao Zhiqiang said: "What a big deal, just to disturb someone's dream. If you hadn't introduced me to a big leader because you are a good person, I... forget it, Just do one good deed that day!”
After he finished complaining, Cao Zhiqiang dressed listlessly and prepared to go to the restaurant to have breakfast with Wu Qinghong.
Anyway, I'm awake now. Although I'm still a little sleepy, in this situation, I can't fall asleep even if I lie down in bed immediately. It's better to go have a meal first and then take a nap when I come back.
Just as Cao Zhiqiang was slowly getting dressed and went down to have breakfast with Wu Qinghong in the Western restaurant of Jianguo Hotel, Qin Huairu in the courtyard had also made breakfast and was serving food one by one.
Huaihua suddenly came over and saw Qin Huairu serving rice with an expressionless face. She rolled her eyes and said, "Mom, what are you cooking for? It's so delicious?"
"Yes." Qin Huairu responded calmly, "Same as before."
Huaihua looked at the food on the plate and smiled: "Hey, they are all my silly dad likes to eat. How about I deliver them to my silly dad?"
Qin Huairu said while serving the dishes: "No, in this way, you will serve the food for the first and second uncles in a while, and then let Xiaodang deliver it to them."
After saying that, Qin Huairu put down the plate and chopsticks and hurried back to the room. Then she took off the mirror and started arranging her hair in front of the mirror.
Huaihua, who peeped at this scene from the side, smiled and immediately knew that her mother was telling the truth, and she was still thinking about He Yuzhu.
When Qin Huairu put down the mirror and was about to walk out, Huaihua ran away quickly and continued to pretend to serve food.
Soon, Qin Huairu walked over, picked up a pair of chopsticks and two plates of food without saying a word, and walked to the backyard without saying a word.
After Qin Huairu left the middle courtyard, Xiaodang, who saw this scene, quickly ran to Huaihua and asked with a smile: "Huaihua, Mom went to the backyard, who are you delivering food to?"
Huaihua glanced in the direction of the backyard, then smiled and said, "Mom just told me that we should give these meals to the first and second uncles. So tell me, who will give her meals to?"
Xiaodang blinked and immediately smiled: "Needless to say, he must be a stupid dad!"
After laughing together, Xiaodang said again: "By the way, did you see that our mother even changed her clothes and permed her hair? Oh, this is a big investment, just to fight!"
"That's not true." Huaihua smiled, "Just now, before mom went out, she went into the room and fixed her hair twice in front of the mirror!"
"Really?" Xiaodang asked in surprise.
"Of course it's true," Huaihua said, "Why are you lying to me?"
Xiaodang said: "Oh, it seems that our mother is serious about it this time."
"No," Huaihua said, "Forget it, stop talking, and hurry up and share the dishes and deliver the meals."
Xiaodang nodded, picked up the chopsticks and plate, and began to divide the dishes.
While they were chatting and sharing the dishes, Qin Huairu had already arrived at Silly Zhu's room in the backyard with two plates of dishes.
Qin Huairu opened the door and walked into the room. Qin Huairu, who was smiling deliberately, suddenly fell down again.
Because after he came in, he discovered that He Yuzhu was not on the bed or in the room at all.
After looking at the bed and then around, Qin Huairu put down the food silently, then walked to the bed and sat down, testing the bed with her hands.
I found that the bed was already cold, which meant that He Yuzhu had left early in the morning, and it had been a while, and he did not just leave.
Qin Huairu frowned: "Today is Sunday, and I don't have to go to work. Where was he this early in the morning?"
After thinking about it, Qin Huairu said with a gloomy expression: "It can't be that, are you looking for Lou Xiao'e again?"
Thinking of this, Qin Huairu suddenly felt dizzy, but she soon came to her senses, clenched her fists, opened her eyes, and said through gritted teeth: "Lou Xiao'e! You've been gone for so long, why are you coming back, why!"
After cursing this sentence, Qin Huairu closed her eyes, took several deep breaths in succession, and forced herself to calm down. Then she lowered her face again and said in a deep voice:
"Lou Xiao'e, I won't give up Silly Pillar to you, so just give up!
You have never fought against me before, and you won’t fight for me now, and you will never fight for me! "
