Siheyuan: Since 1962

Chapter 204 Suspense
Qin Huairu was frightened by Sha Zhu's action, and she quickly stepped back a few steps.

She was not sure whether Sha Zhu did it on purpose or by accident, but Sha Zhu had never done anything so outrageous before, which made her feel suspicious and worried that Sha Zhu had really changed.

He Yuzhu savored the soft touch, but pretended to be serious and said, "What's the matter, Sister Qin? My dad works in a machine repair shop. We went to repair the car at noon, and he won't know."

Although he had never experienced actual combat, he had had so many dreams like that that he was no longer as nervous as before about coming into contact with Qin Huairu.

The inexplicable timidity I had before has disappeared without me noticing.

Now he truly treats Qin Huairu as a widow. He is no longer the silly guy who could be happy for a long time just by flirting with her or touching her hand.

"No, it's okay. I just feel like I'm too close to you. If someone sees me, they'll gossip about me."

Qin Huairu looked at Sha Zhu like this, thinking that it was just an accident. She forced a gentle smile and continued, "It's getting late. Let's go quickly. I'll go to your courtyard to find you at noon."

"Okay, my house is in the front yard. It's the first one on the left after you enter the yard. Just come and find me."

Sha Zhu was like a cat that had successfully stolen some fish, laughing particularly happily.

He didn't know what he was expecting, but he just wanted Qin Huairu to come into his room and talk to him.

Qin Huairu had no idea about Sha Zhu's transformation, and was secretly happy that she had found a sucker to help her solve the bicycle problem.

The two chatted along the way, and it was basically Sha Zhu who did all the talking, with Qin Huairu just responding from time to time.

Until they were almost entering the factory, the two kept their distance and entered the steel rolling mill one after the other.

He Yuzhu was afraid that rumors about him and Qin Huairu would start to spread in the factory, which would affect his chances of finding a wife.

Qin Huairu was afraid that too many people would see the matter and the news would reach He Daqing's ears.

She really couldn't bear He Daqing's targeting, so she avoided it if possible.

Although they had different ideas, the two of them still staggered their positions in tacit understanding.

Just as Qin Huairu breathed a sigh of relief and walked into a workshop with a long-lost sense of ease to clean up and start working, Fu Deyuan had already walked up to her with a frosty face.

"Qin Huairu, come with me. I've heard recently that there are big ideological problems in your family. I need you to give me an explanation."

Fu Deyuan spoke the second half of the sentence in a loud voice. The workers around him who were chatting with their co-workers and slowly doing their preparations heard his words clearly and couldn't help but cast inquiring glances at Qin Huairu.

Fu Deyuan didn't give Qin Huairu a chance to explain. He strode into the office.

Qin Huairu was stunned at first, then her heart sank. She bit her lip and walked quickly into the office without saying a word.

She had thought that the news of her mother-in-law being taken away by the neighborhood office would spread to the factory, but she just thought that it would lead to more rumors in the factory and would not have much impact on her.

She never thought that the workshop director would come to her, and so soon.

As the two men walked into the office, the workers in the workshop immediately dispersed.

"I said that the incident between Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu last time was definitely not that simple. Take a look. I was right, wasn't I?"

"Hey, who can't guess what you said? The director is really amazing. He even knows about Qin Huairu's family affairs, and I haven't heard anything about it yet."

"What do you think? The director is scared by Yi Zhonghai. How can he not keep an eye on Qin Huairu if he knows there is something wrong with her? If it were me, I would have to build relationships with the people in Qin Huairu's courtyard. Who knows when she will be punished again? The director's official hat will be taken off." "Yes, yes, you are amazing. I don't know who said Qin Huairu was a good person a few days ago."

"Qin Huairu, you came to the workshop to take Jia Dongxu's place. If it weren't for the fact that it's not easy for you as a widow to live with a child, I wouldn't have agreed to let you stay in our workshop. But look at what you've done. I won't say that you haven't been able to complete the production tasks, but some people learn things quickly and others slowly. But you've only been in the workshop for a few months, and you've caused so many problems. I don't think our workshop can accommodate a big Buddha like you!"

As soon as Qin Huairu stood in front of the desk, Fu Deyuan scolded her.

The sound was so loud that Qin Huairu's head was buzzing, and she forgot most of the words she had prepared.

Qin Huairu pursed her lips and pleaded, "Director, I know I was wrong. The comrades from the street office have already taught me a lesson yesterday. I will work hard in the future. Please let me stay in the workshop. My family of five depends on my salary to make a living. If I leave the workshop, my family will really have trouble making ends meet."

She didn't know how much the director knew, but this was all she could tell her now.

Fu Deyuan slammed the table, stared at the boss with his eyes wide open, and said angrily: "Your family is having a hard time, so you can mess around. Whose life is not difficult? There are many people in our workshop who have a harder time than you. Do they make trouble like you?"

He didn't expect that the street office had handed over the matter of Qin Huairu's family. If Zhou Weimin hadn't reminded him yesterday, he would have fallen into trouble again because of Qin Huairu this time.

With a bomb like this that could explode at any time, he must not let her stay in the workshop any longer, otherwise he would not be able to sleep well.

However, the subdistrict office had not contacted the factory yet, so he couldn't transfer Qin Huairu without any reason. So he suppressed his anger and said, "Qin Huairu, you have been in our workshop for several months. Other apprentices can complete their production tasks by this time. Don't play the victim to me. As long as you can complete the monthly tasks, I will let you stay in the workshop. Otherwise, transfer to Workshop 9. The work in our workshop is not suitable for you."

"director……"

Qin Huairu was really panicked this time. She knew her own level very well and it was almost impossible for her to complete the task.

Doesn’t this mean that she will be transferred to the most tiring Workshop 9 next month? How can this be possible!

Workshop nine is the foundry workshop, which is the most tiring and difficult workshop and has the largest number of temporary workers.

The people there are exhausted every day, and every dollar they earn is earned with sweat.

If she had gone, she would never have had anyone to help her like she does now.

Just thinking about it made her feel scared.

"It's settled. Production tasks are the most important thing. Don't leave."

Fu Deyuan still glared at Qin Huairu with anger on his face.

He felt annoyed just looking at Qin Huairu like this, and didn't want to hear anything else she said.

After looking at Fu Deyuan pitifully for a few times and seeing that he showed no sign of giving in, Qin Huairu finally turned around and left the office.

The workshop director was determined to transfer her away, so she had to think of other ways.

She really couldn't complete the daily production tasks by herself, but she could ask someone for help.

There are many male workers in the workshop who covet her, and if there is no other way, she can only let them take advantage of her.
