Siheyuan: Let Yourself Go He Yuzhu

Chapter 131 Bai Lianhua shows off her power for the first time and Xu Zhongyi starts to ask questions

"Brother Zhuzi, it's not that exaggerated, right?" Gu Yufei said with a smile.

As soon as Gu Yufei finished speaking, the three people in the room heard the sound of the door being pushed open. It was not a knock, but a push. It was obvious that if He Yuzhu had not inserted the bolt in advance, the door of Xu Zhongyi's house would have been pushed open.

"Why is she so rude?" Gu Yufei said with a frown.

"They are used to it and don't consider themselves outsiders at all. Qin Huairu is better. Although she curses you in her heart, she doesn't show it on the surface. If Jia Zhang was here, she would start cursing directly. In their minds, if you don't help them, you will be regarded as a beast if you don't help them." He Yuzhu said with a smile.

"How could there be such a person?" Gu Yufei said angrily.

"How can there not be such a person?" He Yuzhu asked back.

Gu Yufei was speechless for a moment, and Xu Zhongyi said, "She won't keep knocking on the door, right?"

"If she were a normal person, she would definitely understand that we don't want to bother with her and would just turn around and leave. Unfortunately, Qin Huairu is not a normal person. She would not leave," said He Yuzhu.

At this moment, Qin Huairu spoke.

"Brother Zhongyi, are you home? I am Qin Huairu from the Central Courtyard, your Sister Qin, please open the door for me." Qin Huairu knocked on the door and shouted outside.

The crisp sound gave Xu Zhongyi goosebumps.

"Oh, my God, this voice seems to speak into people's hearts and makes people shiver. If I hadn't been to... drinking places for a long time, I'm afraid my bones would have lost two taels of weight." Xu Zhongyi said exaggeratedly.

Gu Yufei rolled her eyes at Xu Zhongyi, knowing that Xu Zhongyi was exaggerating. What did they do? What occasions had they not seen? Back then, Gu Yufei was also a beautiful girl in the military. What had she not experienced?

Qin Huairu's tricks are child's play for Gu Yufei.

"Open the door. We are not the thieves. There is nothing to feel guilty about." Gu Yufei said.

"My dear brother, you have to think about the consequences. If you open this door, Qin Huairu will definitely take advantage of it. Either you refuse sternly or you give Qin Huairu some meat."

"If you refuse sternly, within three days, rumors will spread that you are heartless and cold-blooded;"

"If you give meat, the beasts in the courtyard will swarm in like wild dogs smelling something. My brother, you are a purchaser, so you must understand these things. That's all I have to say, you'd better grasp it." He Yuzhu said.

He Yuzhu naturally knew what Xu Zhongyi and Gu Yufei did, but He Yuzhu had to pretend that he didn't know and reminded Xu Zhongyi again and again.

Xu Zhongyi nodded, stood up and opened the door.

"Oh, Zhuzi is here too. Brother Zhongyi, I'm so sorry. I'm here to ask you a favor. My cat Banggeng is growing up and hasn't eaten meat for a long time. I, as his mother, am incompetent and can't get him meat. Brother Zhongyi, can you lend me a few pieces of meat? I'll return it to you when I have meat." Qin Huairu said with a pitiful look.

"It's not a big deal, it's just a few pieces of meat, no problem. But you also know the current market situation, it's really hard to get this meat now."

"Since you asked, I have to lend it to you. So, I'll give you the chicken head and chicken neck, plus a bowl of chicken soup, and count it as one dollar. You write me an IOU, sign it, put your fingerprint on it, and pay me back when you get paid."

"If you don't pay me back, I can only find my leader and ask him to notify the Finance Department to deduct the money from your salary." Xu Zhongyi said slowly with a smile on his face.

Qin Huairu was dumbfounded when she heard this. I asked you for the chicken, no, to borrow the chicken. Shouldn't you just give it to me for free just because I'm an orphan and a widow and I'm extremely pitiful?

Why do you need to write an IOU? Why do you want the finance department to deduct money if you don't pay back? You want one dollar for a chicken head and neck plus a bowl of soup? One dollar can buy half a chicken.

If it was just a verbal agreement, Qin Huairu wouldn't care at all. She would just act pitiful when the time came to pay back the money. She borrowed it with her own ability, so why should she pay it back?
However, once the words were written in black and white, Qin Huairu didn't dare to do anything. She didn't dare to bet whether the other party would really ask the leader to let the finance department deduct her money.

Qin Huairu couldn't help but look at He Yuzhu, hoping that He Yuzhu could still unconditionally lick her like before, but unfortunately, He Yuzhu ignored Qin Huairu completely.

He Yuzhu was seen enjoying his meal, drinking wine and eating chicken. He was also chatting and laughing happily with Gu Yufei.

Naturally, Gu Yufei first got acquainted with He Yuzhu before trying to get He Yuzhu to talk.

At this time, Qin Huairu missed Jia Zhang and Yi Zhonghai very much. If they were both there, she, Qin Huairu, would not have fallen into such an embarrassing situation.

Jia Zhang will definitely jump out and make a scene, throw a tantrum, and even summon the undead, and then Yi Zhonghai will jump out and use moral blackmail.

Unfortunately, no if.

Yi Zhonghai is dead, and Qin Huairu can only wait for Jia Zhangshi to return, and then one of them will play the good cop and the other will play the bad cop.

"This... let's just forget it." Qin Huairu said helplessly.

Qin Huairu finally felt sorry for her money, so she didn't lend the chicken soup anymore and returned home in shame.

When Bang Geng saw Qin Huairu coming back with an empty bowl, he immediately cried out, "I want meat, I want meat, I want chicken!"

"Why are you crying? If you keep crying, I won't even give you any pig offal soup!" Qin Huairu shouted angrily.

When Banggeng heard this, his crying suddenly became much quieter.

"When the offal soup is distributed later, they will definitely give you some offal. You can eat all the offal. Offal is meat too. Stop crying." Qin Huairu said unhappily.

Bang Geng stopped crying after hearing this.

Qin Huairu couldn't help but let out a long sigh. She suddenly felt that after just over a month, her family, which had been doing smoothly, suddenly became unable to make any progress.
"Didn't you borrow the meat? I've said it before, I've seen people borrowing money and food, but who would borrow meat? What era is this? They are not your parents, it's normal that they don't lend it to you. I told you not to go, but you insisted on going." Qin's mother said.

"Mom, stop talking. Who would have thought that the new family was so cunning that they asked for an IOU just to borrow two pieces of meat, and if they don't pay back, the finance office will deduct the money." Qin Huairu said angrily.

"I'm not being cunning. Even brothers should settle accounts clearly. How could they not ask you to write an IOU when you borrow something from them? To put it bluntly, it's your wicked mother-in-law who has ruined the reputation of the Jia family. They know that you borrowed things and didn't return them, so they use this trick to block you." Mother Qin sneered.

Although Qin Huairu was very angry, she had to admit that what Qin's mother said was right. People were clearly on guard against her.

Seeing that she couldn't get any benefits from Xu Zhongyi, Qin Huairu decided to turn her attention to Mingtai. Mother Qin glanced at Qin Huairu and knew what she was thinking.

"My daughter, can't you just live a good life? Find your leader and ask him to assign you a good master. Let him take good care of you. You can study hard for two or three years, and then you can be promoted to a second-level or third-level worker. With a high salary, you won't have to worry about food and drink?" "I warn you, you can take advantage of your neighbors, but don't set your sights on the two new families. I've seen Xu Zhongyi, he's a smiling tiger. Don't be fooled by his smiling face, but often such people are crueler at heart."

"It's okay if you don't provoke him. Once you provoke him, not only you, but also Banggen will not have a good ending."

"And Mingtai, don't even think about using your beauty to seduce others. You are the most beautiful girl in our area, but compared to her, you are far inferior."

"Speaking of Mingtai, he is obviously from a wealthy family. In the past, he would have been the son of an aristocratic family or a government official. People like him are even more evil. Don't make trouble for no reason and involve our Qin family." Mother Qin said sternly.

Qin Huairu glared at her mother angrily, and then said indignantly: "Mom, why do you say that? How can a mother say that to her own daughter? Besides, how am I worse than others?"

"You are a mother of three children. Look at them, no matter whether it is Xu Zhongyi's wife or Mingtai's wife, they are all ladies from wealthy families. How can you compare yourself with them?" Qin's mother said disdainfully.

Qin Huairu was so angry that she gnashed her teeth, but she had nothing to say. After all, Qin Huairu was the mother of three children, and she was old and ugly. Whether compared with Gu Yufei or Cheng Jinyun, there was a huge difference.

Especially in terms of temperament, there is a huge difference.

Qin Huairu felt a great deal of pressure. In the past, Qin Huairu believed that she could control the men in the courtyard even without the help of Yi Zhonghai and Jia Zhangshi. But now, Qin Huairu no longer had this idea. She couldn't even control He Yuzhu, let alone others.

Xu Damao is more cunning than a monkey when he gets caught. He will not release his eagle until he sees the rabbit. It's okay to let Xu Damao suffer a small loss, but it's impossible to catch Xu Damao like the way he caught Sha Zhu before.

The Yan family are all real men. They only care about money and not people. Unless they are given money for free, it will not work at all.

The other men in the courtyard all have wives, and they are watched closely by their wives. As for the others...

"Oh, it seems I can only go to the factory to find a sucker." Qin Huairu thought helplessly. Then, Qin Huairu saw that the time was almost up, so she took the big bowl and went to line up.

When Qin Huairu saw that it was the Yan family who were in charge of distributing the pig offal soup, the last bit of hope in her heart disappeared.

The Yan family has to be relatively fair in doing things. If you want to give them a smile or say a few nice words and let them scoop more soup or give you more offal, it's impossible, absolutely impossible!

In the backyard, at Xu Zhongyi's house, He Yuzhu gave Xu Zhongyi a thumbs up.

"Brother Xu is really awesome. If this happened to me, I would get angry and start quarreling after just a few words. I have a bad temper and I would end up fighting." He Yuzhu said with a smile.

"Brother Zhuzi, you are a leader, you can't hit women." Gu Yufei said.

"I definitely won't hit a woman. That would be so disgraceful for the men in our city. I won't hit Qin Huairu, but I can hit Bang Geng. Even if I don't hit Bang Geng, I can spend a dime or two and let Yan Jiedi go to the school and spread the news about Bang Geng." He Yuzhu said with a smile.

"Uh, Brother Zhuzi, aren't you going a bit too far?" Gu Yufei said.

"Alas, you just got here, you don't understand. In this courtyard full of beasts, if you want to survive, you have to be more beastly than the beasts."

"There is a saying that goes, if one day I become bad, please don't blame me, because I used to be kind and you didn't cherish me. This is a saying I heard in school. I thought it made a lot of sense, so I wrote it down." He Yuzhu said.

"Brother Zhuzi, why are you talking about those depressing things? Come on, have a drink." Xu Zhongyi said with a smile.

Xu Zhongyi is indeed a man of many talents. When it comes to his ability to liven up the atmosphere in a bar, Xu Damao is not even worthy of carrying his shoes. After just a few words, the atmosphere becomes lively.

Under the deliberate flattery of Xu Zhongyi and Gu Yufei, He Yuzhu couldn't help but drink too much. Of course, this was just what He Yuzhu did on purpose to create the situation they wanted to see.

As he drank more, Xu Zhongyi started to ask questions.

"Brother Zhuzi, let me toast you again. I just came to the steel mill and I don't know a lot of things. I still have to count on your guidance." Xu Zhongyi said.

"What's there to point out? I'll just tell you what I know. In the past, Director Yang had the final say in our steel rolling mill. Unfortunately, Director Yang was injured and cannot manage the factory, so Deputy Directors Li and Nie have to manage the factory." He Yuzhu said after finishing a glass of wine.

"What kind of injuries did Director Yang suffer?" Xu Zhongyi asked calmly.

"How would I know the details? I wasn't the deputy director of the cafeteria at that time. I was just the monitor of the cafeteria class. Besides, even if I became the deputy director of the cafeteria, I wouldn't know the details. To put it bluntly, I was just a cook."

"I heard it, I heard it, according to gossip, when Director Yang was sleeping in his bedroom, the building suddenly collapsed and he fell directly from the third floor to the second floor. Deputy Director Li happened to live on the second floor. If Deputy Director Li had not been in the living room, he might have been crushed to death by Director Yang."

"Speaking of which, Director Yang was also unlucky. Deputy Director Li had a hard time directing everyone to rescue Director Yang and put him in an ambulance, but the ambulance fell into a pit on the road, and Director Yang fell miserably..."

"I don't know how tragic it was, but it was tragic. I don't know if the driver had an eye problem or something, but he couldn't see such a big hole on the ground and rushed into it!"

"Do you think Director Yang is unlucky? Let me tell you a secret. Director Yang deserves his bad luck. There is an old nemesis living in our courtyard. That is Jia Zhang."

"Ms. Jia Zhang is really a piece of shit. She killed Old Jia, Jia Dongxu, and Yi Zhonghai. Some people say that Director Yang is so miserable because of her." He Yuzhu said mysteriously.

"What the hell? Jia Zhang is still in contact with Director Yang?" Xu Zhongyi asked.

"Of course not. There is no direct connection, but there is an indirect connection. In our courtyard, the Jia family, the Yi family and the deaf old lady are actually one family. They almost tricked me into joining their family and made me work like a cow and a horse for them. Fortunately, I was enlightened."

"Jia Zhang's son Jia Dongxu is Yi Zhonghai's apprentice. According to gossip, Jia Dongxu is actually the son of Jia Zhang and Yi Zhonghai. Regardless of whether they are apprentices or sons, they are not far apart. Yi Zhonghai also recognized the deaf old lady as his godmother, so they also have a relationship;"

"The deaf old lady has an unclear relationship with Director Yang, and it's a very close relationship. When Yi Zhonghai was evaluated, he was not qualified for an eighth-level worker. If he had the level of an eighth-level worker, he would have been transferred long ago. To put it bluntly, he is only a seventh-level worker."

"Yi Zhonghai asked the deaf old lady for help, and the deaf old lady took Yi Zhonghai to see Director Yang. After that, Yi Zhonghai became an eighth-level worker. This shows that Yi Zhonghai and the deaf old lady have a close relationship."

"There is this relationship between them, so some people spread the rumor that Director Yang is so miserable because he was killed by Jia Zhang." He Yuzhu said mysteriously.

"Brother Zhuzi, this is a new world. You should only say these words in front of me, your brother. Don't tell them outside to avoid trouble." Xu Zhongyi said seriously.

"I know. I just get along well with you, brother. Although that's what I said, there is no smoke without fire. It's said that Jia Zhang killed Old Jia and Jia Dongxu."

"In fact, it was Jia Zhang who killed Old Jia and Jia Dongxu..." He Yuzhu then talked about Jia Zhang's evil deeds and how she worked Old Jia to death and starved Jia Dongxu, causing the accident.

"That does make sense. Even if Jia Zhang had killed Director Yang, many units' buildings collapsed a few days ago. It couldn't have been Jia Zhang's fault, right?" Xu Zhongyi asked calmly.
