Siheyuan's Journey Through the Ages

Chapter 69 The beginning of the plan

Ma Qing thoroughly sorted out the relationships between all the people in the compound and had a complete plan in his mind. Ma Qing was really worried about the neighbors in the compound.

The two people who have offended him in the compound now are mainly Xu Damao and Yan Jiecheng, so let's make arrangements for them first.

There is no rush for Xu Damao's case. We have to wait for the results of his hospital examination anyway, which should be within this week. There is no point in rushing.

As for Yan Jiecheng, Yu Li just came over for a meal, and many things about the Yan family have not been exposed to Yu Li, so there is no need to be impatient.

Then we have to go to Shazhu Canteen first and inquire about Liu Lan's situation so that we can start the plan.

Ma Qing waited at home until noon, and used the excuse of having lunch to go to the canteen of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill to meet the poor woman.

In the past few years, Ma Qing had come to the canteen of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill to eat countless times. Ma Qing found He Yuzhu with ease.

"Brother Zhuzi, I'm busy. I can't cook at home. I came to your place to solve the problem of eating. Please give me some meal tickets. I haven't been here for a long time and I don't have any on hand. I will return them to you after I go to the logistics department to exchange them."

After hearing this, Sha Zhu said nothing and took out the meal ticket from his pocket and handed it to Ma Qing, "Go get the meal first, and then get some dishes. Give me the lunch box and wait for me in the back room of the kitchen. We'll eat together."

Of course Ma Qing did as he was told and waited in the back room of the kitchen for more than ten minutes. Gradually, more and more people came into the room. The kitchen staff came in one after another with lunch boxes to eat, and divided into several groups, chatting while eating. No one showed any emotion about the presence of a stranger in the room.

Not long after, Sha Zhu came in with two lunch boxes, sat down next to Ma Qing, and handed Ma Qing's lunch box to him.

Ma Qing opened it and saw that it was still the same meal, but with a little more minced meat, as if stars in the sky were dotted on the rice, but it was obvious that there was some leftover soup from the meat and vegetables in it.

That's it! Ma Qing complained madly in his heart.

While opening his lunch box, Sha Zhu leaned close to Ma Qing and said softly, "I'm sorry, today's meat and vegetables are sold out. Only some vegetable soup is left. It's still delicious when eaten with rice. There's nothing I can do. It's just your bad luck." Sha Zhu's mouth is impeccable.

Ma Qing didn't care about the food at all. This was not the purpose of today. Ma Qing took a spoon and scooped a big mouthful and put it in his mouth. "It's delicious. Brother Zhuzi's cooking skills are impeccable." Face has to be given. In this era, a spoonful of meat and vegetable soup is something that people will remember.

Sha Zhu ate while speaking, "Ma Qing, what's going on with Yu Li? Why did she go to the Yan family yesterday? Do I still have hope?"

"How would I know about this? I've never had any dealings with Yu Li. But it's not a bad thing for Yu Li to come over. Given the kind of family atmosphere in Third Uncle's house, few people can stand it. I think it will be difficult for Yan Jiecheng to find a wife." Ma Qing said indifferently.

Sha Zhu calmed down now, leaned towards Ma Qing again, lowered his voice and said, "Why? What's the reason? Yan Jiecheng said it might be difficult to find a wife. You should talk to your brother Zhuzi about it." "Brother Zhuzi, you are not being kind. You treat me as an outsider." Ma Qing sneered, "Who am I, Ma Qing? I can figure out what others mean as soon as they say it. You just said, "Ma Qing, what's going on with Yu Li? Why did she go to Yan's house yesterday? Do I still have hope?"

Ma Qing imitated Sha Zhu's tone and repeated his words, then continued: "Yu Li is Yan Jiecheng's girlfriend, isn't it normal for him to go to the Third Uncle's house to get to know the family? But you said why would she go to the Yan family? Brother Zhuzi, what did your sister say to you when she came back that day that made you have such high expectations and actually said such a thing."

"Hey, Ma Qing, you are this." The fool gave Ma Qing a thumbs up, "My sister came back the other day and said that this thing has a chance, Yu Li didn't object, but she went to Yan Jiecheng's house yesterday, and I felt a little uncomfortable."

Damn, brother, you are the one who poached someone else's girlfriend, and you are still not satisfied. Of course, Ma Qing could only say, "Hey, how did it develop to this point? I shouldn't have said too much that day, and something unexpected happened." Ma Qing first distanced himself from the matter and continued, "Then what did your sister say? I don't know anything, how can I help you analyze it."

"Nothing much, Yu Shui just found her and told her about my advantages as a man, saying that Yan Jiecheng, this scumbag, can't compare with me," Sha Zhu patted his chest, "My sister told me that Yu Li was attracted to him and told me to wait for good news, but I always feel uneasy."

"Since Sister Yushui said there's no problem, then there's no problem. Women are very reliable in doing this, so you can put your mind at ease." Ma Qing came here for another purpose. He was not here to serve as an advisor to Sha Zhu. Ma Qing was in the back room of the kitchen, his eyes darting around, searching for his target, and he got it.

Ma Qing changed the subject and said, "Brother Zhuzi, you have such good conditions. Don't say that Yan Jiecheng is a loser compared to you. Even if he is placed in the Forbidden City, he is still the best. Are you still worried about not having a wife? I see that there are many young ladies in your kitchen."

"Look at that girl over there, she's not any less pretty than Yu Li." Ma Qing quietly nodded at the most beautiful woman in the room. Ma Qing didn't know who that woman was, but she was indeed the most beautiful one in the room behind the kitchen. "I won't describe what she looks like to you, just take your own opinion, it doesn't matter anyway.

Sha Zhu followed Ma Qing's gaze and said, "You said Liu Lan, she is indeed good-looking, but her family burden is too heavy, with three younger brothers and sisters, and a seriously ill mother. Who would dare to touch her? Besides, forget it. I am a grown man, and if I talk about a woman's right and wrong behind her back, you will look down on me for nothing."

"What, she's not married?" Ma Qing raised his voice involuntarily, and everyone turned to look at him.

Ma Qing smiled awkwardly at everyone. That’s not right. Liu Lan was married in the original plot. By the way, the time in the original drama was already 65. Could it be that Liu Lan was not married at that time? But from Sha Zhu’s mouth, Liu Lan seemed to have a secret that she could not tell. Could it be that everyone knew about the affair between Liu Lan and Deputy Director Li at that time, which led to Liu Lan’s inability to find a husband? If I sent Yan Jiecheng to Deputy Director Li at this time, then I would be helping Deputy Director Li solve the problem. It was really God’s help. Yan Jiecheng just filled the role of Liu Lan’s husband in the original drama.

"Keep your voice down, don't let anyone hear you." Sha Zhu got so anxious that he started swearing.

Ma Qing was thinking about Liu Lan at this time, so he didn't reply for a while. Sha Zhu waited for a while, and when he found that Ma Qing didn't say anything, he couldn't help but said, "Why don't you say something?"
