Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

He Yuzhu was too lazy to show up, so he asked Xu Damao: "Do you know the director of Hongxing Elementary School?"

Xu Damao asked, "Why are you asking this?"

He Yuzhu said, "Isn't this Duan Zicong's wedding? He's taken a liking to Teacher Ran Qiuye."

Xu Damao said, "He's taken a liking to Teacher Ran? Doesn't he know that Teacher Ran's family background is problematic?"

He Yuzhu explained, "The Duan family are martyrs' families, how could they not protect Teacher Ran?"

Besides, her problem isn't serious.

She was only a few years old when her parents were abroad.

Xu Damao said, "You're right. This problem is easy to solve. I'll talk to the director of Hongxing Elementary School."

However, it may not work.

That director has no sense of responsibility.

He Yuzhu also knew this, and said, "I thought of that too."

Let Grandma Duan go to the school, whether she makes a scene or tries to reason with them.

He just needs to go with the flow.

Grandma Duan was worried that her granddaughter-in-law would run away, so she started making preparations in a hurry.

First, he met with Ran's parents and finalized the marriage arrangements.

Then came the preparation of the wedding room and the selection of the wedding venue.

Ultimately, I chose the weekend/rest day.

The Duan family didn't plan to hold a big celebration; they would just have a simple meal with their neighbors.

As the groom, Duan Zicong naturally cannot cook. He Yuzhu, being a chef, is also not suitable to cook.

Finally, this important task was handed over to the MCA.

Upon hearing the news, Liu Lan said to Ma Hua, "You call yourself the senior brother? Your junior brother is already married. Aren't you worried?"

Ma Hua wasn't unconcerned; he simply couldn't afford to be. His family wasn't well-off, and as the eldest son, the burden of the family fell entirely on his shoulders.

When Sha Zhu was sent down to the workshop, Ma Hua was able to follow him without hesitation, which was truly commendable.

Fortunately, Qin Huairu was helpful and managed to persuade Sha Zhu to return to the cafeteria. Once back, Sha Zhu immediately called Ma Hua back, which was a good thing for his apprentice.

"Who says I'm not in a hurry? It's just that I haven't met the right person yet."

He Yuzhu said, "Alright, stop arguing."

Liu Lan said to He Yuzhu, "You, as his mentor, don't you know how to find someone for Ma Hua?"

I heard that Li Zhenjiang's wife was the one who arranged the marriage back then.

He Yuzhu's face darkened. If he had known Yu Li would turn out this way, he would never have gone to such lengths.

Let her go and fight Yan Bugui at the Yan family's house.

Seeing that He Yuzhu looked unwell, Ma Hua quickly came to the rescue: "No need. My family has already found someone for me."

At home, Lin Jinghan was preparing things for Duan Zicong.

"Zicong is your apprentice, shouldn't we send him something nice?"

He Yuzhu thought for a moment and said, "There's no need to prepare anything too lavish. If he needs anything, we can provide it gradually later."

Yan Bugui hadn't been in a good mood these past few days. He wrote that letter to muddy the waters and then fish in troubled waters.

Who would have thought that his plan would fail and that the two of them would get married so quickly.

His plan fell through completely.

Soon, it was Duan Zicong's wedding day.

He Yuzhu took his whole family to attend the Duan family's wedding.

The Xu and Li families also sent gifts out of respect for He Yuzhu.

The Duan family are relatives of martyrs, and the neighborhood committee also sent people to participate.

The day after the wedding, Old Mrs. Duan went to the school with Ran Qiuye and explained Ran Qiuye's situation.

The school leaders then promptly cancelled the punishment imposed on Ran Qiuye.

As the school was short of teachers, Ran Qiuye was assigned to He Yuanhang's class as a Chinese language teacher.

Yan Bugui was the one who was most hurt.

His letter of denunciation not only failed to achieve its purpose, but also changed Ran Qiuye's social standing. He should be thankful that He Yuzhu didn't discover that he was the one who wrote the letter.

The main point is that He Yuzhu didn't think of him.

Whether it was back then or now, Sha Zhu's relationship with Ran Qiuye has always been quite good.

Ran Qiuye hadn't bothered him in any way, so He Yuzhu never expected that he would write that letter of complaint.

The handwriting on that letter was concealed; you couldn't tell who wrote it just by looking at the notes.

He Yuzhu could only check with the school's teachers based on the fact that the letter paper was from the school.

Yan Bugui was sighing and complaining at home.

The three women were getting annoyed: "Can't you just shut up for a bit?"

Yan Bugui said bitterly, "How can you expect me to have some peace and quiet? I'm the only one left being punished at school now."

I became the only laughing stock in the whole school.

The key issue is my salary.

Mentioning wages, the third auntie also felt sorry for him: "Why don't you go and beg Sha Zhu and Xu Damao to put in a good word for you at school?"

They are the leaders of the steel rolling mill. If they speak up for you, your school might rescind your punishment.

Yan Bugui had a sudden thought, but then gave up: "It's too late. These past few days, I've been writing reports against Xu Damao every day."

Do you think he can help me?

The three women were speechless and could only continue to sigh from afar.

Qin Huairu was also in a bad mood. She had just been trying to get closer to He Yuzhu through Duan Zicong when Duan Zicong got married.

When Jia Zhangshi saw her appearance, she said, "It's all that old bastard Yi Zhonghai's fault."

If he hadn't stopped her, Jingru would have married Duan Zicong long ago.

Qin Huairu also harbored resentment towards Yi Zhonghai. Now, Yi Zhonghai was no longer an asset to her.

On the contrary, Yi Zhonghai became a burden to her.

Because of Yi Zhonghai's jealousy, she couldn't introduce Qin Jingru to Miao Jianye, nor could she directly introduce her to Duan Zicong.

Unfortunately, she still couldn't get rid of this burden.

Yi Zhonghai cannot provide support, but he can provide protection.

For these widows and orphans to avoid being bullied, they still need a hardworking ox to protect them.

Unfortunately, all he could find was such a useless old ox.

These past two days, Yi Zhonghai has had no interest in anything happening at the hospital. The successive marriages of Miao Jianye and Duan Zicong have dealt him a heavy blow.

While Yi Zhonghai and the others were feeling down, Chu Yurong quietly brought up the promise she made years ago in the courtyard.

When you were merging the courtyard houses, Yi Zhonghai and the other two promised to help each household get a job.

At that time, the steel rolling mill was not yet a joint public-private enterprise. As a master craftsman in the factory, I had a lot of say.

Because of this, and the trustworthiness of the deaf old lady, they believed what Yi Zhonghai and the other two said and agreed to merge the courtyards.

As a result, after the courtyards were merged, they did not receive the benefits promised by Yi Zhonghai, and were instead constantly being cheated.

At that time, Yi Zhonghai and his group were very powerful, and no one in their families urgently needed work, so no one brought up the matter.

But it's different now.

The children in every household have all grown up.

Next comes finding a job and going on blind dates to find a wife.

But outside, job openings are becoming increasingly scarce, and many people are unable to find work.

Although they knew that finding Yi Zhonghai and his two companions wouldn't be of much use, they had no hope if they didn't try.

Many people looked at the three of them with scrutiny and probing eyes.

He Yuzhu noticed this but didn't embellish it. Even if they were forced to their deaths, they still wouldn't be able to create that many job openings.

Otherwise, the government wouldn't have sent educated youth to the countryside.

By doing this, He Yuzhu is undermining the credibility of the three people in the courtyard.

Now that this matter concerns their own vital interests, they will act the same as before, no longer listening to the three men's nonsense. (End of Chapter)
