Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

Chapter 933: Leftovers
With Xu Damao's interruption, Yi Zhonghai didn't dare to be vague any more. He was afraid that He Yuzhu would get serious with him and drive the others away.

"At that time, Dongxu asked too many people for help, and I couldn't name them all, so I used people from the hospital instead. This time I didn't explain it clearly."

Seeing Yi Zhonghai give in, He Yuzhu thought about it and was no longer surprised.

Yi Zhonghai obviously knew that if he continued to make trouble, it would affect other people.

He Yuzhu didn't want to continue making things difficult, so he sat down.

Xu Damao came over and said, "Well, this move of mine is powerful, isn't it?

If I hadn't said this, he would definitely continue to hold on to you."

Li Zhenjiang asked curiously, "Did you do that on purpose just now? It doesn't look like that at all."

Xu Damao snorted: "If it wasn't intentional, would I have given in so easily?"

He Yuzhu just thought that Qin Huairu had taken care of him.

"Tell me the truth, was it Uncle Xu who gave you the idea just now?"

Xu Damao said no, but He Yuzhu didn't believe it at all.

Finally, I had to admit: "My father said that. I told him about Jia Dongxu's death and he scolded me.

He told me that Yi Zhonghai would never allow me to quit. He would even use me to drag you down with him.

I will use the tactic of withdrawing, so that the old man will be distracted and unable to drag you into the water."

Li Zhenjiang and Wu Tiezhu's favorable impression towards Xu Damao increased sharply.

He Yuzhu was somewhat skeptical about the content of these words.

Given Xu Damao's character, he would have stepped forward even if Jia Dongxu had not asked him to take care of his son.

Yi Zhonghai's speech continued: "Dongxu entrusted the Jia family to most of the people in our courtyard.

Everyone did a great job in helping Huairu give birth to her child.

I hope that everyone can continue to work hard and live up to Dongxu’s trust in us.”

At this point, Yi Zhonghai looked around and said: "I believe that everyone can take good care of the Jia family, but I also know that everyone's life is not easy.

As for the money, it’s easy.

Dongxu has a pension and Huairu is about to start working.

If each of us contribute a little more, we can ensure that the Jia family lives a good life.

However, the food problem is more difficult to solve.

Everyone has a ration of food, and no one can take out any extra food."

These words touched everyone's heart.

They thought that the Jia family had a pension and Qin Huairu still had a job, so even if they were short of money, it wouldn't be much.

With so many people taking care of the Jia family together, if they share the burden, they don't have to spend much at all.

He Yuzhu certainly knew what these people were thinking, but he knew even better what the Jia family wanted.

Sha Zhu gave all his savings from work and more than half of his salary to the Jia family, but it was still not enough for the family to eat.

Every once in a while, everyone has to donate money to the Jia family.

Even when Sha Zhu was helping, the Jia family's gap was so big.

Now that Sha Zhu is gone, the gap in the Jia family will only get bigger.

"Uncle, you are right. We don't have enough food. Fortunately, Qin Huairu went to work in the steel mill and got a city hukou, so the Jia family will not be short of food."

One of them spoke, and the others followed suit.

Yi Zhonghai glared at him fiercely and said, "Don't forget, the old sister-in-law doesn't have a fixed amount. Banggeng is old enough to eat now.

Sophora japonica flowers also need nutritional supplements.

What do you want Huairu to do with these gaps?
How could she, a woman, solve the problem?

If we who promised Dongxu don’t help, how will others look at us?”

The man was frightened by Yi Zhonghai's stare and quickly gave in and cooperated with Yi Zhonghai.

"Uncle, you decide what to do! We will listen to you."

Yi Zhonghai then looked at him with satisfaction and said, "The food quota is set by the state, and I can't change it.

When Dongxu was around, he would risk going to the black market to buy food.

We can't let Huairu buy food on the black market!"

No one dared to speak.

Going to the black market is a dangerous job. It is very risky for men to go, let alone women.

They had been to many black markets and had seen very few women.

After seeing everyone's performance, Yi Zhonghai became more confident about the plan in his mind.

He looked around again and set his sights on He Yuzhu.

"I have an idea. Zhuzi works in the cafeteria. Other things may be difficult for the cook, but this one is not."

He Yuzhu just looked at Yi Zhonghai. As long as he dared to bring a lunch box to Qin Huairu, he would let Yi Zhonghai taste the taste of scheming against him.

Yi Zhonghai said slowly: "What I mean is, we pay some money and let Zhuzi help Huairu bring back some lunch boxes."

This sentence made He Yuzhu stunned.

Yi Zhonghai did not give up and asked him for the lunch box, but the tactics he used had changed.

He not only wanted to trick He Yuzhu, but also wanted to trick everyone in the courtyard.

Directly rejecting Yi Zhonghai would seem to be giving other people an easy advantage.

He Yuzhu quickly came up with an idea: "Yi Zhonghai, you work in the steel rolling mill. If you want to bring a lunch box for Qin Huairu, just buy it back.

Why do you want me to take it?"

Yi Zhonghai said: "I just want to save everyone some money. If we buy it in the cafeteria, the price will definitely be high.

I mean, just bring some leftovers to the Jia family."

He Yuzhu laughed: "Leftovers? Come on, tell us what leftovers are."

Yi Zhonghai said: "Zhu Zi, as a cook, don't you know about leftovers?"

He Yuzhu looked at him coldly: "The people who eat in our factory every day are not fixed, so the dishes we cook are really not that suitable.

But let me tell you, the cafeteria is not what you think, there is a lot of leftover food.

If there are ten people eating in the cafeteria, the kitchen will only cook for nine people. If there are not enough, they will continue to cook.

Therefore, at most there is some soup left in the cafeteria every day.

You want to buy these soups and waters.”

Yi Zhonghai didn't dare to agree.

He believed that if he dared to agree, He Yuzhu would definitely prepare a lunch box of vegetable soup for him.

Especially in winter, the most common dish in the canteen is stewed cabbage. Add an extra spoonful of water and you have a lunch box of vegetable soup.

He is not a sucker, why should he spend money on all those soups and waters?

"Zhu Zi, think of a solution."

He Yuzhu said with a sigh: "I can't think of a solution, why don't you think of one?"

Yi Zhonghai naturally didn't dare to say it.

If he were caught, even the deaf old lady wouldn’t be able to save him.

Qin Huairu said aggrievedly: "Zhu Zi, please don't embarrass the uncle. The uncle means well."

He Yuzhu said: “If he means well, then he will buy you a dish with his own money.

If you want lunch boxes, you, the important ministers entrusted with the care of the young emperor, should discuss among yourselves and decide whether to take turns buying them, or give the money to one person and have that person buy them.

I have no ties to the Jia family, and this matter has nothing to do with me."

He Yuzhu turned around and went home, leaving those people to continue their intrigues.

After returning home, Lin Jinghan said: "Yi Zhonghai's mind is really vicious. He actually used the lunch box to set a trap for you.

I thought you were going to hit him."

He Yuzhu said: "I did want to beat him just now. But if I beat him, what will happen to the others? They are all waiting to help the Jia family."

Lin Jinghan laughed: "Are the arguments outside waiting to help the Jia family?"

The debate outside was naturally not about helping the Jia family, but no one said it out loud.

He Yuzhu said seriously: "Why not. If they don't want to help, they will say it. If they don't say it, it means they are willing to help.

They would hate me if I ruined their act of love.”

Hate, of course I will hate.

But it’s hard to say why I hate He Yuzhu.
