Siheyuan: Starting from 1958

Chapter 170 Ask Wang Dong to borrow money? (First update)
A grown man was deprived of his right to receive his own salary and had no money at all. It would be a joke to tell others about it.

He Yuzhu's face suddenly turned red. After returning to the kitchen, he kept his head down and worked until noon. He didn't dare to talk to his co-workers for fear of being laughed at.

"Master He, are you still going to serve the dishes at noon today?" Master Wang, who was serving dishes with He Yuzhu, asked with a smile.

He didn't know that He Yuzhu would no longer have the chance to owe money for food, and subconsciously thought that he would continue to be a sucker in front of Qin Huairu at noon today.

He Yuzhu nodded subconsciously.

At the last moment, reason overcame impulse and he shook his head and replied, "I'm taking a break at noon today. You serve the food and I'll be in charge of collecting the money..."

He Yuzhu didn't know how to face Qin Huairu if he served the food himself.

Better out of sight, out of mind.

Master Wang served the dishes very quickly and soon it was Qin Huairu's turn.

Holding half a catty of food, two bills and five cents in his hand, he was stunned to see that He Yuzhu did not go to the window to order food today.

But she believed that He Yuzhu would definitely not escape from her grasp. Even if he collected money at the window, He Yuzhu would still have someone prepare the dishes she wanted to eat.

When handing the banknote to He Yuzhu, he touched his hand and said with a concerned expression: "Zhuzi..."

"Why didn't you get any food for lunch today? Were you too tired from cooking in the morning..."

"After get off work, I'll ask Banggeng to boil some hot water for you to warm your feet."

"You are Banggeng's godfather... bring him delicious food every day, and Banggeng must respect you well..."

"I want three steamed bread and a portion of shredded potatoes for lunch today..."

He Yuzhu became agitated when he heard Qin Huairu's words.

Banggeng is an ungrateful and extremely lazy guy. Unless the sun rises from the west, he will never boil water for himself to soak his feet.

But Qin Huairu said that she would ask Banggeng to boil water for her feet in the evening.

Most likely, he personally boiled water for himself to soak his feet in the name of Banggeng. This was a treatment he had never received since he came into contact with Qin Huairu.

Subconsciously, he wanted to greet Master Wang beside him and ask him to make more meat dishes for Qin Huairu, but he swallowed the words back when they came to his lips.

I had no money on me and the canteen didn't allow me to owe money, so I couldn't even get a meat dish for Qin Huairu.

I could only bite the bullet and answer: "Sister Qin..."

"I wanted to give you a meat dish, but I was in a hurry to go out this morning and forgot to bring money. Sorry..."

Qin Huairu had already taken out her lunch box, waiting for He Yuzhu to help her prepare a meat dish.

But what he heard was that He Yuzhu had no money, and he could only put away the lunch box with a look of disappointment on his face.

But he still had to give He Yuzhu the sweet treat, after all, he still had to continue sucking He Yuzhu's blood.

Before leaving, he said to He Yuzhu through the window: "Zhuzi..."

"It's okay. Sister Qin doesn't mind this meal. It's okay for Banggeng to have a meal of boiled cabbage."

"Remember to come home early tonight so I can ask Banggeng to boil water for you to soak your feet."

He Yuzhu was so excited that he couldn't describe it in words. He said that Qin Huairu was only nice to him because he wanted to make money from him. Once he was penniless, Qin Huairu would definitely leave him as far away as possible.

It turned out that those people had misjudged Sister Qin.

I didn't order more dishes for Sister Qin at noon today, but she still boiled water for me to soak my feet in the evening, which shows that she was being nice to me not just to get the money in my hand.

Thinking of this, He Yuzhu became embarrassed.

Sister Qin was so good to me, but I couldn't even add a meat dish for her. I felt so sorry for her. But I had no money, so I couldn't add a meat dish for her.

…………

The next morning, He Yuzhu changed his solemn expression from yesterday and walked into the kitchen of the steel rolling mill with a smile on his face, looking very happy.

"Master He...you're getting married, why are you so happy?" The two kitchen helpers who were assistants to He Yuzhu couldn't help but tease.

He Yuzhu shook his head quickly: "Don't talk nonsense, with my current level of work and salary, I have no chance of finding a wife in the next two years."

"So what good thing happened to you? You're so happy..."

Facing the kitchen helper's repeated question, He Yuzhu's face flashed with an embarrassed expression, and he waved his hand and said, "It's nothing good, hurry up and do your work."

After sending away the two kitchen helpers, He Yuzhu couldn't help but recall the scene of Qin Huairu helping him soak his feet last night. As he thought about it, his old face couldn't help but turn red with shame.

"Master He... should I or you serve the food for lunch today..." Master Wang, who was serving food, suddenly walked towards him and asked, bringing He Yuzhu back to reality from his thoughts.

An embarrassed expression immediately flashed across He Yuzhu's face.

He Yuzhu felt sorry for not adding more food to Qin Huairu's meal yesterday.

In addition, Qin Huairu personally boiled water for him to soak his feet last night, which made He Yuzhu feel even more embarrassed. He thought that he must add a meat dish for Sister Qin at noon today, otherwise he would be sorry for him.

But I have no money in my pocket.

Make bricks without straw.

In this situation, not to mention adding a meat dish to Qin Huairu, he couldn't even afford a steamed bun.

As he was thinking, he suddenly turned his attention to the kitchen helper who was helping him: "Xiao Zhou, Xiao Huang... do you have any money on you? Can you lend me fifty cents..."

The news that He Yuzhu had no money and even his salary was collected by Yi Zhonghai from the workshop had spread to the kitchen.

It is easy to borrow money in this situation, but it is difficult to ask He Yuzhu to pay it back.

In addition, He Yuzhu has a generous personality, so lending him money now is like throwing meat buns at a dog, which will never come back.

One of the kitchen helpers refused on the spot: "Master He..."

"My salary is not as high as yours, and I have children to support at home. I give my salary to my wife. I can't even take out 10 cents, let alone 50 cents."

Another kitchen helper immediately responded: "Master He..."

"My salary is all with my mother, and I don't have any money to lend you..."

He Yuzhu's face was full of disappointment, but he had to add a dish for Sister Qin at noon today, otherwise he would feel too sorry for her for helping him boil water for washing his feet last night.

Even though he was rejected by the two kitchen helpers, he still went to other kitchen helpers to borrow money with a desperate attitude.

As a result, after asking a lot of people, not only did he not borrow a penny, but two older kitchen helpers lectured him, telling him to never be taken advantage of by Qin Huairu again. This made He Yuzhu look very embarrassed, because he borrowed the money just to add more dishes to Qin Huairu's meal.

In the end, he could only place his hope on Wang Dong who lived in the same courtyard.

He has a grudge against Wang Dong, and under normal circumstances, he would never ask Wang Dong for help.

But it seemed that there was no one else in the kitchen who could help him except Wang Dong.

Moreover, Wang Dong doesn't get along with his godfather, so if he asks him to borrow money, he will definitely not tell Yi Zhonghai.

In this way, he could continue to help Sister Qin without alerting Yi Zhonghai.
