Siheyuan: Starting from 1958

"Wang Dong... as long as you tell me the method and finally keep Qin Huairu by my side to take care of me in my old age, I will give you two hundred yuan now..." Yi Zhonghai asked with anticipation.

"No...I'll just give you three hundred dollars."

"Earning three hundred dollars for just one sentence is a piece of cake."

Wang Dong shook his head and continued with a smile: "Yi Zhonghai..."

"Do you think I'm short of three hundred dollars?"

"The reason I gave you advice was because I saw that the Jia family and Qin Huairu were uncomfortable, not because of money."

Seeing Yi Zhonghai nod, Wang Dong continued: "Do you know why Qin Huairu has the courage to quarrel with you again?"

Yi Zhonghai thought for a moment and replied, "I need someone to help me with my old age."

"Qin Huairu knew that I had a falling out with Zhuzi. She was the only one in the whole courtyard who could take care of me in my old age. She knew that I, Yi Zhonghai, could not live without him and did not dare to really have a big fight with him. That was why Qin Huairu dared to bargain with me, or even quarrel with me directly."

Wang Dong shook his head and replied: "There is this reason, but it is not the real reason."

Yi Zhonghai immediately showed a curious expression on his face: "What's the reason?"

Wang Dong smiled and replied: "People always say that those in power are the most confused. Now it seems to be true."

"In my opinion, the real reason why Qin Huairu dared to bargain with you on the issue of retirement, or even quarreled with you directly, was not because he knew that you couldn't do without him for retirement, but because Qin Huairu had his own job and could earn his own money."

"If Qin Huairu can't make money herself and loses her job at the steel mill, and can only rely on providing for your retirement, do you think she still has the guts to bargain with you?"

"Although you and Zhuzi have fallen out, He Yuzhu is unlikely to help you with your old age, but as long as you have money, you will be able to find someone to help you with your old age, even if you hire a nanny in the future. If that doesn't work, you can go to a nursing home."

"As long as you have money, you can live a good life anywhere."

"But Qin Huairu is different."

"Without her job at the steel mill, she has no income."

"I will provide for your retirement. Although I earn little, I can take seven or eight yuan from your living expenses every month. Ten yuan should be no problem."

"But if you don't want her to help you with your old age, then it won't count for a dollar."

"Do you think Qin Huairu was still qualified to bargain with you at that time?"

"It's good enough that I don't beg you."

A thoughtful expression slowly appeared on Yi Zhonghai's face, sometimes he looked relieved, sometimes he frowned.

After thinking for two minutes, he suddenly said, "Qin Huairu is a white lotus who only cares about money and not people."

"If she really lost her job, she would do everything she could to earn money to support me in my old age, fearing that I would have to rely on others for my old age."

"Although Qin Huairu was demoted to an apprentice in a steel mill, he can't just lose his job if I ask him to."

"Besides, the Jia family still has so many people to support. If Qin Huairu really loses his job, what will the Jia family do?"

"It's impossible for an old man like me to support so many people in the Jia family."

"If I really want to tie Qin Huairu to my side and take care of her in her old age through this method, I might as well find someone else to take care of her in her old age."

"My current salary has dropped to more than 40 yuan."

"If we really support all the members of the Jia family, how will we save money for retirement?"

"Without pension money, the salary I get as a retiree is definitely not enough for my retirement."

Wang Dong continued: "Yi Zhonghai..."

"The solution I gave you was to make Qin Huairu lose her job at the steel mill, but I didn't say to make the Jia family lose their jobs at the steel mill."

"Why don't we find a way to get Qin Huairu to give up his workstation to Bang Geng?"

"Qin Huairu is a vicious woman who is very calculating. Even if she recognizes you as her master at the steel mill, don't expect her to listen to you."

“Bang terrier is different.”

"He is a novice fitter." "If he wants to become a regular employee after entering the steel mill, he will definitely need your education and support."

"I won't be at your mercy then."

"Although Qin Huairu loves money, sticks are also her lifeblood."

"As long as you hold Banggeng's future in your hands, Qin Huairu will also let you control her."

"Plus, providing for your retirement is Qin Huai's only way to make money in the future. Do you think she will dare to bargain with you in the future?"

Hearing this, Yi Zhonghai's face immediately showed a relieved expression.

The smile on his face became wider and wider.

The more I think about it, the more I feel that this is very feasible.

Moreover.

It was Qin Huairu who arranged a job for Banggeng himself. Now he had an opportunity to let Banggeng work in the factory as an apprentice without having to go to the countryside as an educated youth. Qin Huairu had no way to refuse.

Once Qin Huairu loses his job at the steel mill, he will be at my mercy.

He immediately thanked Wang Dong: "Dongzi..."

"Your idea is great."

"I'm going to find Qin Huairu tonight."

Wang Dong said casually, "By the way, let's call Jia Zhang."

"The workstation Qin Huairu is holding belongs to the Jia family to be exact."

"Banggeng is the lifeblood of both Qin Huairu and Jia Zhangshi."

"Let Qin Huairu hand over his workstation to Banggeng. It is not reasonable for Qin Huairu to refuse."

After hearing this, Yi Zhonghai felt a little bit scared besides gratitude towards Wang Dong.

This man is too cruel, especially when it comes to calculating people's hearts. He directly blocked all Qin Huairu's escape routes, forcing her to hand over her work position to Bang Geng.

Fortunately, the person being plotted against by Wang Dong is Qin Huairu, not himself.

If one day I piss off the other party and he wants to plot against me, I might end up like Qin Huairu, knowing that there is a trap ahead but having to jump into it even though there are pursuers behind.

Thinking of this, Yi Zhonghai quickly warned himself in his heart that he must not provoke Wang Dong easily in the courtyard in the future, otherwise he would definitely suffer the consequences of his schemes.

…………

The third canteen of the steel rolling mill.

Ermao was serving food to the workers who came to eat under the guidance of He Yuzhu.

I was a little unfamiliar at first, but became proficient in less than half an hour.

As the fight went on, Liang Lazhi's figure unexpectedly appeared at the window.

Seeing that his second son was actually standing at the window serving food, the little worry on his face disappeared. He looked at He Yuzhu standing next to him with a grateful face and said, "Zhuzi..."

"Thank you, Sister Liang."

"Without your help, Sister Liang would have had to watch Ermao go to the countryside as an educated youth."

He Yuzhu's face lit up when he saw Liang Layi, and he smiled and said, "Sister Liang..."

"We are all family, and it is our duty to help Ermao."

"Once Ermao is familiar with the work in the kitchen, I will take him in as my apprentice. If nothing goes wrong, he will be promoted to a regular employee within a year, and he can cook in the kitchen within two years."

"When the attack assessment is resumed in the future, I will definitely have no problem passing the eighth or ninth level chef exam." (End of this chapter)
