Courtyard House: He Daqing Forces Qin Huairu into Marrying at the Beginning

He Daqing urged his son to correct his mistakes.

One should not take chances when doing things.

Although the dried goods were still unopened, Lou Zhenhua did not overlook the quantity when purchasing them.

Lou Zhenhua could easily notice that one abalone was missing.

It will be troublesome if they investigate strictly then.

"Dad, I'm sorry."

He Yuzhu pursed his lips and put the abalone he had hidden in his pocket back in its original place.

"To know one's mistakes and correct them is the greatest virtue."

You can't do that again.

He Daqing disliked corporal punishment.

Punishment alone cannot make children truly realize the root of their mistakes.

However, if He Yuzhu doesn't change his ways, then don't blame him for being ruthless.

After carefully checking everything in the kitchen and confirming that everything was in order, He Daqing left the kitchen with his son.

It will take two days to prepare the ingredients.

Soaked dried goods need to have the water changed periodically.

He Daqing explained everything to Lou Zhenhua before riding away from the Lou family home.

Not long after He Daqing left, a servant from the Lou family came to report the situation to Lou Zhenhua.

"Master, nothing is missing from the kitchen."

It seems those two cooks' hands were clean.

"Well, I understand, let's go down."

Lou Zhenhua waved for the servants to leave.

Lou Zhenhua has been in the business world for many years, has met countless people, and has weathered many storms.

Although I trust He Daqing's culinary skills, there are still some things I need to be prepared for.

After all, money can be tempting, and no one can guarantee that they will stick to their principles when faced with huge profits.

Fortunately, He Daqing and his son did not disappoint Lou Zhenhua.

Otherwise, even if Lou Zhenhua didn't say it out loud, he would have kept this debt in mind and waited for the right time to report it.

Upon hearing this result, Atao's face gradually darkened.

It seems that He Daqing is not as easy to deal with as other lousy cooks.

Ataude risked his life to throw dirty water on them.

……

The next day, He Daqing and his son arrived at the Lou family's house on time to prepare the ingredients.

Thanks to the busy first day, the workload on the second day was not heavy and was relatively easy to handle.

Just as He Daqing and his son were busy, a series of crisp footsteps came from outside the kitchen.

"Click."

The kitchen door opened instantly, and a short-haired girl in a wool sweater waved to disperse the smoke rising from the room and peered inside.

"Hey, who are you?"

Kitchen is a restricted area; unauthorized personnel are not permitted to enter.

Get out of here right now.

He Yuzhu, who was focused on his work, was startled and quickly stopped the girl from entering the kitchen.

"This is my kitchen, why are you telling me to leave!"

Instead of retreating, the girl stepped forward, head held high, into the kitchen, asserting her dominance.

"You're here to cause trouble, aren't you...?"

He Yuzhu was stopped by his father before he could finish speaking.

He Daqing put down the kitchen knife and chuckled.

"You must be Lou Xiao'e, the daughter of Chairman Lou."

"May I ask what brings you, young lady, to the kitchen?"

When hosting a banquet at a wealthy family's home, one inevitably comes into contact with the female relatives.

Especially those pampered, spoiled, and naive young ladies, they are very difficult to deal with.

"I'm not here to do anything, just to take a look."

So that if something is missing from the house, I won't be unable to find it.

Lou Xiao'e looked at everything in the kitchen with a scrutinizing gaze.

My dear, there is more to come after this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. There will be more exciting chapters later!

Lou Xiao'e is Lou Zhenhua's only daughter. She was spoiled from a young age and had little contact with the outside world.

Kind-hearted but lacking in cunning, she is easily swayed by others.

Recently, Tao has been intentionally or unintentionally chatting with his colleagues about gossip about chefs near Lou Xiao'e.

Many of these topics concern the cooks' unclean practices.

Lou Xiao'e was very naive. When she heard the maids talking badly about the cook, she developed a bad impression of him.

Just then, He Daqing and his son came to the Lou family to cook. Lou Xiao'e was curious and wanted to come and find out.

Unexpectedly, He Yuzhu retorted as soon as he entered the door.

He felt even more strongly that the cook was not a good person, and was just like a rat that steals things.

"What do you mean? Who stole anything? You're making false accusations!"

He Yuzhu was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, and his fur stood on end instantly.

He was actually feeling guilty, after all, he almost got into trouble yesterday.

He thought to himself, "Could things have been exposed?"

"I didn't say you stole anything."

What's the rush? Have you been caught red-handed doing something wrong?

Lou Xiao'e raised an eyebrow, as if she had discovered something interesting.

I'm incredibly bored commuting between school and home every day.

Lou Xiao'e was looking for something to do, and it would be very interesting to catch the thieving chef.

He Daqing placed one hand on his son's shoulder to calm his agitated emotions, and his expression gradually became serious.

"Miss Lou, you're not right to say that."

Detectives need evidence to solve cases, so how can you just accuse someone of being a thief?

If you're not comfortable with that, you can always check the kitchen yourself.

If anything is missing, I will compensate you double.

If not, please apologize to us.

Nobody wants to be mistaken for a thief!

Lou Xiao'e suddenly came to the kitchen; it's unclear whether it was by accident or at someone's behest.

Regardless of the situation, He Daqing must handle it with caution.

Chapter 55 The Transmission of Knowledge (Part 3)

"Hmph, you'd better behave yourselves, I'll be keeping an eye on you."

Lou Xiao'e pursed her lips, uttered a harsh remark, and then turned and left the kitchen.

Lou Xiao'e never cared about the condition of her own kitchen, not even knowing how much was in it, let alone checking it.

Lou Xiao'e has this much self-awareness.

Moreover, if you wrongly accuse an innocent person, you'll have to apologize to the two cooks, which would be incredibly shameful.

Watching Lou Xiao'e's departing figure, He Yuzhu gritted his teeth, took off his apron, and slammed it hard onto the cutting board.

"Dad, I don't want to do this job anymore!"

He Yuzhu is at the age where he is full of youthful vigor and his emotions are easily swayed.

When wronged, the subconscious thought is to give up.

"Pick it up! Pick it up right now!"

He Daqing stared at his son's evasive eyes, then pointed directly at the apron on the cutting board and said seriously.

"As a chef and as my son, you are a disgrace to me!"

It's not like home outside; no one will pamper you there. Making a living isn't easy, and there's a lot more to shoulder in the future.

"If you give up after experiencing a little hardship, how will you survive?"

He Daqing could understand the child's feelings, but he was still disappointed in him.

Having studied cooking for so many years, I've endured countless hardships and tiring tasks.

Why is your mindset still so childish and immature?

"Dad, I...I..."

Feeling wronged, angry, and guilty, a mix of emotions welled up in He Yuzhu's eyes, turning into bitter tears.
