Siheyuan: Starting from 1958

Chapter 155: Even if you beat a dog, you should consider its owner? (Second update)

He Yuzhu answered with certainty: "A great uncle..."

"If you don't believe me, you can ask your superiors to come over and have them recognize you as their godfather and Auntie as their godmother..."

Hearing this, the old man was completely relieved.

As long as He Yuzhu acknowledged him as his godfather, he would definitely take care of him in his old age and see him to the end of his life. Otherwise, the spit from the people around him would drown him.

Then the deaf old lady said: "Pillar..."

"Since you have acknowledged me as your godfather... then I have something to say to you."

"What the old lady said just now is right: you were punished twice at the steel mill. Although there were other reasons, they were all related to the Jia family."

"It's better not to get too close to the Jia family..."

He Yuzhu immediately retorted: "But..."

"Uncle, didn't you say that the Jia family was having a hard time and asked me to help them more?"

Hearing this, Yi Zhonghai wanted to slap himself twice.

I quickly explained: "There is definitely nothing wrong with neighbors helping each other."

"But there must be a limit to helping others. You can't go to help the Jia family while starving yourself."

"Your salary has been reduced now. After deducting your living expenses and Yu Shui's, you have almost no money left every month."

"If I help the Jia family with five dollars a month under the pretext of doing laundry and cleaning the house, and lend Qin Huairu some money on a regular basis, how can I live? Will I starve?"

"And with your help, the Jia family is not as difficult as you imagined."

"Combining the five dollars I earn from washing your clothes and cleaning the house, the Jia family's monthly income is more than yours."

"When Qin Huairu gets a job at the steel mill, he'll earn more than you every month..."

"If you continue to help the Jia family, it will be like a poor man helping his wife. If the news gets out, it will be bad for both the Jia family and your reputation."

Yi Zhonghai is a 100% egoist.

Before, Qin Huairu needed to help his grandmother tie up He Yuzhu, so Yi Zhonghai tried hard to encourage He Yuzhu to help the Jia family.

Now that He Yuzhu has acknowledged him as his godfather and is completely tied to him, the Jia family has become a useless burden. Yi Zhonghai certainly doesn't want He Yuzhu to continue supporting them as before.

In Yi Zhonghai's opinion, after He Yuzhu acknowledged him as his godfather, the money he saved in the future would be his retirement money. When he retires in the future, the more retirement money He Yuzhu saves, the more comfortable his life will be.

Hence the conversation just now.

He Yuzhu seemed to understand what Yi Zhonghai said, but he did not agree with him in his heart.

Although he agreed to acknowledge Yi Zhonghai as his godfather, it did not mean that he had to sever ties with the Jia family, especially Qin Huairu.

In addition...

He Yuzhu is not a fool either.

He also had his own little thoughts on the reason why he agreed to let the deaf old lady recognize the uncle as her godfather and promised to take care of Yi Zhonghai in his old age.

On the one hand, it was to avoid paying back the more than one thousand yuan that an old man spent to keep his job.

On the other hand, it was to find a wealthy and powerful backer for himself in Siheyuan.

Now that his work grade has been downgraded and his salary has been reduced, he certainly can't continue to support the Jia family as before and take advantage of Qin Huairu in secret.

But with Yi Zhonghai as the backer, the result would be different.

As my godfather, he couldn't just watch me starve to death when I had no money.

And with Yi Zhonghai's support, his continued support for the Jia family would not be affected in any way.

However, these were his inner thoughts, and he would not speak them out easily. Seeing that Yi Zhonghai and the deaf old lady both advised him to stay away from the Jia family, and that he was going to recognize Yi Zhonghai as his godfather, and that he owed him a huge favor, it was not easy to go against his will. Although he had some different thoughts in his heart, he immediately replied, "Grandma... Grandpa... I will listen to you..."

Seeing that both of them nodded with satisfaction, the smile on He Yuzhu's face was suddenly replaced by anger.

He changed the subject and continued: "Uncle..."

"The reason why I was stopped by the security department last night..."

"Besides bringing the wrong dishes, there is another reason..."

"When Director Yang came to help me out, the security department said someone reported me for stealing food from the cafeteria..."

"The steel mill has a rule that if you report a joint venture without evidence, you will not only be fined one month's salary, but you will also be barred from any promotion assessments for the next year."

"In order to give an explanation to the whistleblower and determine who the steel mill will punish, they must check my lunch box before I can leave."

"I must find this whistleblower..."

"If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have been caught red-handed, and I wouldn't have been demoted and had my salary cut, which would have been embarrassing..."

After listening to He Yuzhu's analysis, Yi Zhonghai couldn't help but frown.

He Yuzhu was about to become his godson, and his business was his business. He thought about it and asked, "How many people in the kitchen knew that you brought leftovers home?"

He Yuzhu answered without thinking, "It's just Ma Hua and Fatty who help me in the kitchen..."

"But neither of them left the cafeteria, and they left work after me, so they had no time to report me..."

Yi Zhonghai frowned even deeper: "It must be someone from your kitchen..."

"In the entire steel mill, except for the kitchen staff and us, no one else knows that you are going to cook a special meal tonight..."

Hearing this, He Yuzhu suddenly patted his head and said, "Yes..."

"It was almost noon when Director Zhou announced in the kitchen that I would cook a special meal last night..."

"Even the factory workers don't know whether anyone has left work, so how did Bang Geng know?"

"He ran to the cafeteria right after lunch and asked me to bring him chicken legs and braised pork..."

"Someone must be plotting against me here."

"They forced me to bring chicken legs and braised pork home. They were waiting for me to fall into their trap outside the steel mill..."

At this point, He Yuzhu's mind seemed to be opened up, and an expression of sudden enlightenment suddenly appeared on his face, and then he shouted.

"I know who it is..."

“Wang Dong…”

"This must have been done by Wang Dong..."

"Wang Dong is the only one in the kitchen who knows the situation in our courtyard. He is also the only one who knows that it is difficult for me to refuse Bang Geng."

"And I just reported him to the security department a while ago for secretly deducting favors from him, but my report failed and the steel mill fined me one month's salary."

"This kid must want to retaliate against me using the same method..."

"What a cruel Wang Dong..."

"I will definitely not let this account go easily..."

The deaf old lady's face also darkened. She had never expected that He Yuzhu's current predicament and experience were all caused by someone's scheme, and the one who schemed against him was actually Wang Dong in the courtyard.

When beating a dog, you have to consider the owner. By doing this, Wang Dong is simply stepping on this deaf old lady.
