Courtyard House: Starting in a Ceramics Factory

Chapter 112 Qin Huairu Discovers the Truth
After receiving Sha Zhu's assurance, Li Feng also gave him some advice.

Women with intellectual backgrounds in this era certainly have some fantasies about women in the new era.

If it were a girl like this, Li Feng suggested that Sha Zhu give her a book.

When Sha Zhu heard Li Feng's suggestion, he was immediately dumbfounded.

Finally, he touched the back of his head and asked Li Feng with some confusion.

"Delivering books?"

"Is it just delivering books?"

"Li Feng! You know I'm just a cook, how would I know what kind of books to send?"

Li Feng thought for a moment, then made a suggestion to Sha Zhu.

"If you don't know, you can ask your sister."

"Your sister should know what book to give you."

Sha Zhu was immediately displeased.

Then he said to Li Feng.

"How can I let my sister know?"

"If she finds out, she'll laugh at me to death."

Li Feng shrugged and said.

"Are you afraid your sister will laugh at you?"

"I think you're pretty shameless."

Sha Zhu quickly shook his head and said.

"Where is my skin thick?"

Li Feng looked at Sha Zhu carefully, and then said.

"I think it's quite thick."

"If you succeed in this deal, won't that girl be meeting your sister sooner or later?"

"What's there to be embarrassed about?"

Anyway, Sha Zhu didn't want his sister to help him with his advice; instead, he wanted Li Feng to help him decide which books to send him.

Li Feng thought about it.

He then suggested asking the bookstore clerk.

"The shop assistants must know what these young women like."

Sha Zhu thought about it and realized that Li Feng's words made sense, so after thanking Li Feng, Sha Zhu went back.

It was much quieter here at Li Feng's place.

After Sha Zhu left, Li Feng breathed a sigh of relief.

Helping Sha Zhu pursue girls is nothing special; after all, I'm just offering an idea and don't have to do anything in return.

This time, however, he had Sha Zhu help him get industrial vouchers.

Although Sha Zhu is a bit muddle-headed, he will still keep his promises.

This is completely different from the Third Uncle.

Anyway, I'm only responsible for coming up with ideas; whether they work or not is up to Sha Zhu's luck.

If he's lucky, he won't be exploited by Qin Huairu's family; if he's unlucky...

No one can be blamed for this.

That's his fate.

His life was to raise Big Stick Terriers and then get kicked out.

Li Feng didn't believe that Sha Zhu could change anything, since even Dorgon couldn't handle it.

Unless Sha Zhu is even more powerful than Dorgon.

Next

Li Feng started washing up and then rested.

After all, Li Feng has been quite tired lately.

These past few days have been incredibly demanding work, and Li Feng feels his hands are getting a bit stiff.

This might be related to how you hold a pen.

Because the paint used for porcelain painting is different from that used for calligraphy.

Therefore, the way of applying force is also different.

This also caused Li Feng to overuse his hands.

Tomorrow will be alright, I can rest for a day, which will help with recovery.

Once the porcelain slab is successfully fired, Li Feng can start painting the porcelain piece that costs two yuan.

With the Lunar New Year approaching, I need to earn some money for the holiday.

Li Feng wasn't sure if the two porcelain plaques he painted this month would count as money, but even without money, being able to advance to level three in painting was pretty good.

Now Li Feng is just looking forward to the results of the firing, and once it passes inspection, everything will be fine.

the other side

While her mother-in-law was out, Qin Huairu opened the brick on the kang (a heated brick bed) where money was hidden.

When Qin Huairu saw that the box containing the money had been moved, she felt a pang of grievance.

At this point, Qin Huairu realized that the money had been hidden by her mother-in-law.

In other words, her mother-in-law didn't trust her, which is why she hid the money here.

At this moment, Qin Huairu felt extremely distressed. Just then, she suddenly realized how her mother-in-law could have so much money.

Then she couldn't help but think of a possibility: could this be Dongxu's compensation?
When Qin Huairu thought of this, she became even more upset.

Because I had asked my mother-in-law about the Dongxu pension before, but she said I would have to wait until after the New Year to receive it.

This was completely self-deception. Qin Huairu was now almost certain that this was Dongxu's pension, because her mother-in-law certainly didn't have that much money besides Dongxu's pension.

Now Qin Huairu is more wary of her mother-in-law, after all, her mother-in-law has been deceiving her like this.

Of course, I can't tell my mother-in-law all the truths in the future.

At this point, Qin Huairu did not choose to expose the matter.

Qin Huairu believed that since she was pregnant and had two other children, there would be no one to take care of her children if she went out to work in the future.

Moreover, even if I were to go back to my hometown, I might not be able to get back.

She's already married, and if she went back, she'd definitely be looked down upon.

So now Qin Huairu can only suffer in silence.

This is also something that can't be helped.

When Qin Huairu thought of this, she could only sigh deeply.

She felt that her life was very miserable.

Qin Huairu thought she would have a good life after marrying into the city, but she didn't expect Dongxu to leave so early, and her mother-in-law was also wary of her.

This made Qin Huairu feel even worse.

Tonight, Qin Huairu is having trouble sleeping.
Meanwhile, Li Feng slept soundly at home.

After all, he could rest tomorrow and didn't have to get up early to go to work, so how could Li Feng not sleep well?

quickly!

Li Feng fell asleep.

next day
Around eight o'clock in the morning, Li Feng was awakened by a knock on the door.

After Li Feng opened the door, he found that Sha Zhu had come to knock on his door again.

So Li Feng rubbed his sleepy eyes and then asked Sha Zhu directly.

"Don't you have to go to work today?"

Sha Zhu waved his hand and said.

"It's alright! I'm off today. There's more than just me in the kitchen. They can handle the big pot dishes."

Li Feng nodded, and then he asked Sha Zhu.

"Then you should stay home and rest."

"Why are you looking for me?"

"I finally got a day off today, but I haven't had enough sleep yet."

After Li Feng finished speaking, he prepared to close the door and go to sleep.

Just as Li Feng was about to close the door, Sha Zhu instantly blocked it.

Then he said to Li Feng with a grin.

"Could you help me find a book today?"

Li Feng shook his head.

"I'm busy."

"I have things to do today."

Sha Zhu asked Li Feng, somewhat puzzled.

"Aren't you off today?"

Li Feng shook his head and said.

"I still need to go to the library!"

"I don't have time to find books for you. Besides, didn't I tell you to ask a bookstore clerk?"

"Why don't you just ask them?"

Sha Zhu shook his head at Li Feng and said...

"My sister said that the bookstore staff let the customers choose for themselves and didn't offer any recommendations."

After hearing what Sha Zhu said, Li Feng was immediately puzzled.

"Don't the shop assistants recommend books anymore?"

Sha Zhu shook his head and said.

"My sister says she doesn't know how to recommend books anymore."

"That's definitely not going to happen, so I'll have to ask you for help."

"With so many books in front of me, I definitely don't know which one to choose."

"And my sister doesn't even know why I bought the books."

Li Feng then spoke to Sha Zhu about the industrial vouchers.

"Alright then!"

"Let's meet at Xicheng Bookstore after 3 p.m.

Li Feng didn't wait for Sha Zhu to finish speaking before closing the door.

After standing at the door for so long, it was quite cold.
