Siheyuan: Shazhu's Leisurely Life

Chapter 53 Adultery
Not long after, Liu Lan, who served the dishes, was the last one to return to the kitchen. She came to He Yuzhu and said, "Zhuzi, Deputy Director Li said that you cooked a great meal today. He will never forget you if something like this happens again."

This is for Deputy Director Li to pass on the message.

He Yuzhu was not too surprised, after all, Liu Lan was her lover. As for what Deputy Director Li meant, He Yuzhu just smiled and nodded at Liu Lan without saying anything more.

With his master-level cooking skills, there is no doubt that the food will taste great and the leaders will definitely praise it.

Deputy Director Li asked Liu Lan to convey these words because he wanted to win over the master He Yuzhu. But this move is really not generous. He is still trying to win him over by making empty promises. You should at least listen to it.

But He Yuzhu would not say it out loud. Cooking was part of his job at the steel mill. He was happy to do banquets and small cooking unless there were special circumstances.

After all, a chef makes a living by his skills, and the reason why he can live such a comfortable life now is because of the favor of his superiors because of his skills.

Otherwise, let’s not talk about anything else, just the fact that he lies down in the kitchen to rest during work and has too much flexible working hours would have been a severe reprimand to anyone else if it happened to them.

He Yuzhu has a very clear understanding of himself, so he just focuses on cooking and doesn't get involved in anything else.

Soon, the kitchen began to get busy preparing the big pot of food that the workers would eat at noon.

After Liu Lan and others went to the cafeteria window to get their meals, He Yuzhu was able to take a break.

He was not hungry. He had almost finished eating during the morning reception. Because of the fumes and smells in the kitchen that his wife mentioned, He Yuzhu had nothing to do so he simply wandered around the factory.

As a large factory with tens of thousands of employees, the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill has a fairly large factory area, with nine front-line workshops alone.

It was lunch time for the workers, so there were not many people on the road in the factory.

He Yuzhu walked along the cement road of the factory, and soon a cement wall appeared in front of him. Looking at some slogans of the times on the wall, He Yuzhu also noticed that this was one of the abandoned warehouses in the factory, which contained some scrapped parts, machine tools, etc.

He Yuzhu's heart moved, and he thought of the plots of turning waste into treasure in some TV dramas he had watched in his previous life. He came to the warehouses with great interest, wanting to see what was new.

But when He Yuzhu just walked into one of the warehouses, he heard a somewhat hurried sound of footsteps.

This made He Yuzhu slightly stunned. He came here casually in the middle of the day because he had nothing to do. Who else would come here?

Because He Yuzhu had already entered the warehouse, his vision and body were blocked, so he could not be seen from the outside.

As the footsteps came closer, He Yuzhu saw a familiar face.

"Qin Huairu?"

After seeing that it was an acquaintance, He Yuzhu became even more curious.

Why did this woman come to this abandoned warehouse instead of going to eat lunch? Even if she had no money or tickets to eat, she would have to find a way to borrow from others. She couldn't just hope to get food from this pile of garbage, right?
He Yuzhu looked at Qin Huairu's hurried steps, looked around, and then found one of the warehouses and went in. Looking at this scene, He Yuzhu was confused. No, what is this woman doing?
Just when I was confused, a familiar figure came from a distance and also looked around.

"Oh, stop looking, come in quickly, there's no one here." But this time, it was Qin Huairu in the warehouse who spoke, and there was some urgency in her tone.

When He Yuzhu saw Xu Damao rushing into the warehouse where Qin Huairu was, he understood everything. His face immediately looked quite strange.

No, when did it happen?

Qin Huairu is hooking up with Xu Damao? Even in the original drama, Xu Damao just flirted with Qin Huairu while waiting in line, which didn't make it clear what was going on, did it?

Countless thoughts flashed through He Yuzhu's mind. But soon, he seemed to be able to figure it out.

If everything develops according to the normal timeline, Sha Zhu is still Sha Zhu, and the relationship between Yu Shui and Qin Huairu will still be very good. After Jia Dongxu's death, he will definitely focus on Sha Zhu. With the relationship with He Yushui, although he will not receive lunch boxes at a fixed time and place like in the drama at the beginning, his life will definitely not be as tight as it is now.

During this period, even He Yuzhu knew that the Jia family was having a hard time.

There are three more mouths to feed in the family. Qin Huairu has just taken over a man's job, so her salary is based on that of an apprentice. Jia Zhangshi is stingy, and it is a difficult time. After all these buffs are stacked up, one can imagine how their life will be!

Just from what He Yuzhu heard, Qin Huairu had already gone to many families in the front, middle and back yards to borrow food and money.

But in this difficult period, every household could barely protect themselves, so how could they have extra food to lend to the Jia family? Not to mention the reputation of the Jia Zhang family, Qin Huairu might not be able to pay back the food even next month.

Therefore, Qin Huairu's current situation is definitely worse than that in the original timeline. At least, Sha Zhu, the blood-replenishing package, has become He Yuzhu, who keeps a distance from their family.

With all these circumstances accumulating, it is not surprising that Qin Huairu did such a thing.

While He Yuzhu was thinking, some strange noises were coming from the warehouse next door.

The corners of He Yuzhu's mouth twitched twice. He didn't expect that his appearance would cause Xu Damao's grandson to eat early.

Moreover, Qin Huairu, this woman, was worthy of being the one who seduced Sha Zhu and made him choose Xu Damao at once.

You know, in the original drama, Deputy Director Li also had feelings for this woman, but he was beaten up by Sha Zhu at that time.

If we really talk about conditions and status, Deputy Director Li is definitely much better than Xu Damao. But Qin Huairu can see the fate of Liu Lan as Deputy Director Li's lover. After so long, she is still a helper in the kitchen, without any practical benefits in the factory. Moreover, it is precisely because of Deputy Director Li's high status that if she is stupid enough to offer it to him and he turns around and denies it, she dare not even make a fuss!
As the situation next door became more and more intense, an idea arose in He Yuzhu's mind.

He first walked out of the warehouse quietly, then approached the other side of Qin Huairu's warehouse. He Yuzhu got into position, then coughed heavily, and the next second, he ran away!
