The winner of life in the courtyard

Chapter 151 Poor people must be hateful

In Shen Zhiping's impression, Yan Bugui is not a person who likes to meddle in other people's affairs.

But now, this old man Yan actually took the initiative to plead for Qin Huairu, which is outrageous.

"Engineer Shen, don't misunderstand!"

"I know it's difficult for you to help me with this matter. But I really can't just ignore it!"

"You also know that I am the manager of the hospital!"

"The Jia family's situation is really difficult!"

"No matter what the Jia family was like before, now that Jia Dongxu is gone, it's not easy for Qin Huairu, a female comrade, to support a family of four!"

"As for me, I just thought that since we live next door to each other, I would like to help as much as I can."

Seeing that Shen Zhiping's face looked a little unhappy, Yan Bugui hurriedly gave an explanation.

Unfortunately, Shen Zhiping's focus is not here at all.

"Teacher Yan, what does this have to do with Lou Xiao'e finding a good job at the steel mill?"

Lou Xiao'e's job was not found by Shen Zhiping, but was jointly operated by Liu Wanqing and Zhao Yanlai. Shen Zhiping didn't know what happened during this period because he was not in the Siheyuan at that time.

But now, Yan Bugui told him about this, which is worth studying!
"Engineer Shen, what I meant is that Qin Huairu's situation is much more difficult than Lou Xiao'e's. I don't mean anything else, really!"

"Teacher Yan, Comrade Lou Xiao'e is well-educated, so it will be easy for her to find a good job."

"But what's going on with Comrade Qin Huairu? Teacher Yan, you don't know, do you?"

Shen Zhiping knew very well that Qin Huairu was not well educated.

Being uneducated means that Qin Huairu will not be able to do some simple and easy office jobs.

Of course, if Qin Huairu is willing, she can still go to the cafeteria or logistics to do some easy work, but these jobs are only relatively easy. The most important thing is that the salary is not high.

But the question is, whether it’s the canteen or logistics, will Qin Huairu be willing?

Well, even if Qin Huairu is willing, will there be vacancies in these departments of the steel rolling mill waiting for her?
Shen Zhiping originally really thought that although Yan Bugui was calculating and stingy, he was at least a good person and he was worth getting to know.

But now, Shen Zhiping felt that he had thought too highly of Yan Bugui.

"Is that so? I didn't consider this!"

Yan Bugui laughed and continued, "Engineer Shen, I was a little rude about this matter. Please forgive me for being so magnanimous!"

"Teacher Yan meant well, it was my fault that I didn't explain things clearly!"

Although Shen Zhiping no longer wanted to have too much contact with Yan Bugui, the location of the Yan family meant that it was impossible for Shen Zhiping to completely ignore them.

The other party is known as the door god of this courtyard. Unless the two families have a falling out, they will see each other every day.

"Engineer Shen, just pretend I didn't say anything!
“I’m sorry!
Yan Bugui bowed repeatedly and apologized to Shen Zhiping.

Shen Zhiping smiled, said it was nothing, then pushed the cart and left.

……

After Shen Zhiping returned to the East Courtyard, Yan Bugui returned to the house.

Yang Ruihua had been guarding the door, and when he saw Yan Bugui coming back, his expression changed slightly, and he whispered, "Boss, this Shen Zhiping doesn't look so easy to talk to!

"yes!
Yan Bugui also sighed.

"I originally thought that if Qin Huairu could change her job, there would be a vacancy in the fitter workshop of the steel mill. If I keep trying, maybe Jie Cheng from my family could get a job in the steel mill!

“Oh, I didn’t expect this to be so difficult!
Yan Bugui really didn't expect that his well-planned plan would end up failing.

Yang Ruihua thought for a moment and said, "Boss, if it were you, I would say we should just take some money and some gifts and ask Shen Zhiping for a favor to help the boss solve his job first!
"It's easy for you to say that. This is to give the eldest brother money to find a job, but what about the second and third brothers?
"I have raised them to this age, and now I have to pay for their jobs, is this reasonable?

Yan Bugui was really afraid of being poor. Although he still had some money, he was reluctant to spend it.

In the early years, he had spent a lot of money to fill his stomach. He didn't spend too much money on food this year, but as the second and third children grew up, these little brats were going to eat him out of money!
There will be many places to spend money in the future!
Yang Ruihua was silent for a moment, then whispered, "How about we keep a record of how much money we spent on helping the boss solve his work problems, and when he starts working and earns money, we'll make up the difference!"

"Hey, let me think about it!"

After hearing Yang Ruihua's idea, Yan Bugui was more or less tempted.

……

When Shen Zhiping returned to the East Courtyard and put his bicycle away, he saw Liu Wanqing busy in the kitchen.

"Wife, what are we having for dinner?"

Shen Zhiping approached Liu Wanqing, hugged her slender waist from behind, and asked in a low voice.

"What do you want to eat?"

"I'll eat whatever you cook, wife!"

"Then you still ask!"

Liu Wanqing raised her hand and slapped Shen Zhiping in annoyance, "Go away, don't disturb me from cooking!"

"Can I help you with anything?"

"no!"

Liu Wanqing didn't even think about it.

But soon, she remembered that there was indeed something that Shen Zhiping needed to do.

"Go help the puppies clean up!"

"..."

Well, now I have become the poop scooper!

Although Shen Zhiping was a little unhappy, he still did as Liu Wanqing asked.

Not long after Shen Zhiping dealt with the poop of the two puppies in the yard and buried it in a hole in the flower bed in the corner, someone walked into the east courtyard.

Shen Zhiping had just washed his hands and was stunned when he saw Yi Zhonghai walking into the east courtyard.

"Master Yi, what's the matter?"

This was the first time that Yi Zhonghai entered the East Courtyard ever since he lost his job as the manager because of him.

"Engineer Shen, I have something I want to discuss with you!"

"Master Yi, let's talk inside!"

Hearing that Yi Zhonghai came to discuss something with him, Shen Zhiping decisively invited him into the house to talk.

"No need to go inside the house, it's just a small matter!"

Yi Zhonghai showed a slightly awkward smile on his face, and said in a low voice: "Engineer Shen, I came here to ask you some questions about locksmithing!"

"You say!"

Shen Zhiping thought Yi Zhonghai also came for Qin Huairu. But after hearing what Yi Zhonghai said, Shen Zhiping felt a little relieved.

Yi Zhonghai quickly asked his question.

After listening to Yi Zhonghai's words, Shen Zhiping just thought about it and gave an answer.

Several master fitters in the factory had the same problem, so it was not difficult for Shen Zhiping to answer it.

"Thank you, Engineer Shen!"

"Don't think that I was an eighth-level fitter before. In fact, I just performed exceptionally well during the exam. My actual level is still a little short of the eighth-level fitter."

"Master Yi, you are too modest!" Shen Zhiping had no idea what Yi Zhonghai's locksmith skills were.

However, Yi Zhonghai has been working as an eighth-level fitter in the steel rolling mill for such a long time. If he didn't have some real skills, he would have been exposed long ago.

"I'm not being modest. The more I study the locksmith's skills, the more I realize there are still many things I don't understand."

Yi Zhonghai is really humble now.

Shen Zhiping didn't know how to respond.

He could only continue to praise Yi Zhonghai, and say that learning never ends, and then praise Yi Zhonghai's spirit of seeking knowledge, which is really worth learning from.

Yi Zhonghai just smiled.

"Engineer Shen, there is one more thing I want to ask you!"

"You tell me!"

Shen Zhiping's heart skipped a beat, feeling that Yi Zhonghai would talk about Qin Huairu this time.

Then, just as Shen Zhiping had thought, Yi Zhonghai mentioned Qin Huairu.

"Engineer Shen, you know that Jia Dongxu used to be my apprentice. He had an accident and passed away, but there are orphans and widows at home. I am his master, I can't just ignore him!"

What Yi Zhonghai said was reasonable.

Unfortunately, Shen Zhiping didn't say anything and just listened to Yi Zhonghai continue.

"Engineer Shen, I'm not afraid of you making fun of me. I've worked in the steel mill for such a long time and have trained many apprentices."

"But, every time I teach an apprentice, I feel uncertain and afraid that I won't be able to teach him well!"

"For a normal apprentice, all they have to do is spend more time learning, but Qin Huairu's situation is different!"

"I just want to ask if you have any good ideas that can help an apprentice who knows nothing to quickly learn how to be a fitter!"

After Yi Zhonghai finished speaking, he looked at Shen Zhiping eagerly, hoping that Shen Zhiping could give a good answer.

However, Shen Zhiping spread his hands, shook his head, and said, "Master Yi, you really make it difficult for me on this matter!"

"I have never worked as a locksmith before, so I don't know how I can quickly learn the locksmith skills!"

"As for the question you asked earlier, the reason I can give you the answer so quickly is because several old masters in the factory have the same problem!"

Help Qin Huairu quickly get started as a fitter?
If Shen Zhiping came to teach in person and taught on the spot, then Shen Zhiping could point out Qin Huairu's shortcomings directly.

But the problem is here!

It is impossible for Shen Zhiping to teach Qin Huairu on the spot!
He and Qin Huairu are not related at all. A married man helping a widow whose husband has died. If it is arranged by the factory, then everything is fine. This is called being responsible at work.

But he is a level six engineer who went specifically to help a widow. If this gets out, how will others describe him?
There is always trouble around a widow. This is a saying that our ancestors drew upon countless experiences and lessons.

Shen Zhiping is living a comfortable life now and doesn't want to make things more difficult for himself.

"Engineer Shen, I am a little embarrassed to tell you about this matter, but you also know the situation of the Jia family."

"Qin Huairu has a mother-in-law like Jia Zhang. If her work doesn't improve, her life will be very difficult!"

Yi Zhonghai looked as if he was very concerned about Qin Huairu.

Seeing this, Shen Zhiping sighed and said, "Master Yi, it's not that I don't want to help, but I really don't understand. You are really forcing me to do something!"

Help Qin Huairu?

If he had not married Liu Wanqing, then he might really want to solve his physiological problems and do something to Qin Huairu.

But fortunately, he married a fairy-like wife like Liu Wanqing.

Compared to Liu Wanqing, Qin Huairu is really far behind.

Don’t say that your flowers are not as fragrant as wild flowers. That’s because your flowers are just average.

"Engineer Shen, ..."

"Master Yi, this is really not going to work!"

"I'm a married man, it's not appropriate for me to get too close to other lesbians."

"Besides, the steel mill hasn't decided what specific job Qin Huairu will do after she enters. Isn't it too early for you to consider her becoming a fitter now?"

After Shen Zhiping said this, Yi Zhonghai fell silent.

Logically, Qin Huairu should have taken over Jia Dongxu's job as a fitter after entering the steel mill. However, given Qin Huairu's situation, the factory might be able to arrange for her to work elsewhere.

"Engineer Shen, you are right!"

"I was careless about this matter!"

"sorry!"

After realizing that he was too concerned, Yi Zhonghai apologized to Shen Zhiping in a very honest manner, then said goodbye and left.

Shen Zhiping watched Yi Zhonghai leave, his eyes slightly narrowed.

It’s really interesting!

First it was Yan Bugui, and then Yi Zhonghai. Both of them took the initiative to find him for Qin Huairu's succession, but their purposes should be different.

As for whether Qin Huairu is involved in this, Shen Zhiping cannot be sure for the time being.

During the meal, Shen Zhiping talked about this with Liu Wanqing, and Liu Wanqing's curiosity was also aroused.

"Qin Huairu is pretty, aren't you attracted to her?"

"Comrade Liu Wanqing, I suggest you look in the mirror more often!"

After hearing what Liu Wanqing said, Shen Zhiping said seriously, "How little do you know about your peerless beauty?"

"Only you can talk!"

Liu Wanqing just laughed.

After laughing, she glanced at Shen Zhiping and said softly, "Do you think Qin Huairu will go to the fitter's workshop after entering the steel rolling mill?"

"How do I know this?"

Shen Zhiping shrugged. "According to convention, she should take over Jia Dongxu's job as a fitter. But, given her situation, it's really hard to say!"

"After all, Jia Dongxu had an accident in the factory!"

"As Jia Dongxu's widow, it is possible that the factory will give her special care."

In the plot of Love in the Sky, Qin Huairu worked as a fitter, but until she left the steel mill, Qin Huairu was still a first-level fitter.

Shen Zhiping didn't know what was going on.

"Come to think of it, Qin Huairu is pretty pitiful!"

As a woman, Liu Wanqing felt more or less sympathetic when she thought about Qin Huairu's experience.

Shen Zhiping laughed and said, "Wife, you can't say that!"

"Qin Huairu may indeed be pitiful, but there must be something hateful about pitiful people!"

"Before, Yi Zhonghai plotted against He Yuzhu of the Central Court to help the Jia family. Did Qin Huairu really not know anything about it?"

"I think, maybe not!"

Shen Zhiping really didn't think Qin Huairu was innocent in this matter.

After all, if Qin Huairu hadn't been keeping Sha Zhu hanging intentionally or unintentionally, how could Sha Zhu have been like a fool?
To put it bluntly, Qin Huairu also enjoys it!
