Siheyuan: Starting from 1958

Chapter 165: You can’t wake up someone who is pretending to be asleep (First update)
"Zhuzi, shut up..." The deaf old lady rarely speaks, but after hearing He Yuzhu's explanation, she couldn't stand it anymore and interrupted him harshly.

"How do you talk to your godfather?"

"If your godfather hadn't run around to get you out of the steel mill's security department, you would still be locked up there. You might even have been fired from the steel mill."

"I've done so much for you, this is how you repay me."

"I told you a long time ago to stay away from Qin Huairu, but not only did you not listen to grandma, you even became a godparent of the Jia family and got closer and closer to Qin Huairu."

"Don't you really want to save money to marry a wife..."

"Or maybe he saw that Qin Huairu had become a widow and wanted to marry Qin Huairu as his wife."

"First, recognize Bang Geng as your godson to get closer to him, and then become his stepfather later..."

He Yuzhu shook his head like a rattle and quickly denied it: "Grandma..."

"What did you say?"

"I'm He Yuzhu, a grown man, and a regular worker at a steel mill. I also have two main rooms in the courtyard. With such good conditions, I must marry a virgin. How could I possibly fall in love with a widow with three children..."

"I, He Yuzhu, will never marry Sister Qin as my wife."

The deaf old lady replied angrily: "Since you don't plan to marry Qin Huairu as your wife, then why do you stay so close to Qin Huairu every day and become the godfather of his son..."

"Even a fool can see that your motives for adopting Bang Geng as your godson are not pure."

"I can say this: by this time tomorrow, the rumors about you and Qin Huairu will have spread all over the street."

"By then, which young lady would dare to go on a blind date with a man like you who has an ambiguous relationship with a widow?"

Seeing that He Yuzhu was speechless because of her cowardice, the deaf old lady continued: "Why are you still standing there..."

"Hurry up and apologize to your godfather..."

"Don't tell me you really don't want to work in the steel mill anymore..."

When talking about his working son, He Yuzhu lowered his head suddenly.

In order to keep his job at the steel mill, Yi Zhonghai spent more than a thousand yuan.

If he didn't bow to Yi Zhonghai, it would mean that there would be a rift in the relationship between him and Yi Zhonghai. Even if Yi Zhonghai accepted him as his godson, he would still have to pay back the more than one thousand yuan.

But with his current salary level, he can’t even pay back a hundred yuan, let alone a thousand yuan.

Of course, some people would say that He Yuzhu is an excellent cook and can develop in other places even if he leaves the steel mill.

This statement would have been fine a few years ago, but not now.

Supplies in Sijiu City are becoming increasingly scarce, not to mention the surrounding rural areas. Many people have fled to Sijiu City to escape famine, resulting in a large population and few jobs in Sijiu City.

One apprenticeship position can attract dozens or even hundreds of people vying for it.

Even though He Yuzhu had a tenth-level chef certificate, it would be difficult for him to find a new job after being fired from the steel mill.

He could only lower his head and apologize to Yi Zhonghai: "Godfather... I didn't think things through and made you worry..."

"If there is anything important in the future, I will definitely consult you first."

After hearing He Yuzhu's apology, Yi Zhonghai looked much better. He turned to look at the deaf old lady and asked, "Old lady..."

"We'll talk about the future later. The most urgent thing now is to resolve the issue of Banggeng recognizing Zhuzi as his godfather and me as his godfather."

"Before Zhuzi and the Jia family were not sworn relatives, Qin Huairu had been targeting Zhuzi to borrow money. Now that the two sides have acknowledged each other as sworn relatives, she will definitely be even more unscrupulous in sucking Zhuzi's blood."

"Anyway, she knows that I'm Zhuzi's godfather..."

"Even if he borrows all of Zhuzi's monthly salary, I will be there to support him and ensure that he doesn't go hungry..."

The deaf old lady sighed and replied: "Qin Huairu is more powerful than I thought. She gave us such a big problem out of the blue." "The godparents are recognized under the eyes of all the residents. We definitely can't kick them away and sever ties with them for no reason."

"For now, I can only bear it temporarily..."

"But we can find a way to start with Zhu's salary."

"Qin Huairu recognized Zhuzi as his godfather. His most important purpose was to keep an eye on Zhuzi's salary. If Qin Huairu can't take advantage of Zhuzi's salary, he will definitely find a way to suck the blood of others. Maybe he can even pull Zhuzi back..."

He Yuzhu stood nearby and listened with a helpless look on his face.

I really want to refute the deaf old lady: Sister Qin is not the kind of person he imagined...

The reason why he asked Banggeng to recognize him as his godfather was not for the salary he earned.

But when she thought about the fact that she still had to rely on her godfather for a living, she had neither the courage nor the strength to confront them, so she decisively chose to remain mute.

No matter how badly they said things about Qin Huairu, he just pretended it went in one ear and out the other, as if he heard nothing.

When He Yuzhu heard the deaf old lady asking Yi Zhonghai to collect her salary, he finally couldn't bear it anymore.

How can I ask Qin Huairu to help me wash clothes and clean the room if I have no money?

I have no money, how can I take advantage of Qin Huairu when I lend her money...

He immediately stood up to refute: "Grandma...godfather..."

“You can’t touch my salary…”

"I have to distribute my salary at the steel mill..."

"I am a grown man. If my salary is decided by others, I will be laughed at if the news gets out."

Yi Zhonghai would have to rely on He Yuzhu for his retirement in the future, so he didn’t want to make the relationship too awkward. After thinking for a while, he replied, “Zhuzi…”

"The old lady and I don't have to touch your salary..."

"But you have to hand over fifteen yuan every month, and the grain certificate must be handed over to an old lady..."

"Guarantee rainwater and your living expenses..."

"The remaining six or seven dollars are left to you to handle..."

He Yuzhu immediately shook his head like a rattle, with a look of firm opposition on his face: "No... six or seven yuan is too little..."

"I eat in the steel mill kitchen every day, for free..."

"In addition to the food allowance, I will give Auntie another ten yuan as rainwater living expenses... The remaining ten yuan must be given to me."

Seeing He Yuzhu's firm attitude, Yi Zhonghai could only nod.

However, Yi Zhonghai was already very satisfied to be able to snatch ten dollars and the grain book from Qin Huairu.

As long as he had the food allowance in hand, plus the ten yuan He Yuzhu paid every month, at least he wouldn't have to pay for He Yuzhu and He Yushui's lives.

Yi Zhonghai has figured it out.

Before He Yuzhu completely saw Qin Huairu's true face.

As long as he doesn't waste his pension money, he can give the salary he earns to whoever he wants.

No matter how powerful he and the deaf old lady are, they cannot wake up a person who is pretending to be asleep. He hopes that Qin Huairu will suffer more losses at his hands, learn a lesson, and slowly see through him.
