Siheyuan: After becoming a traitor, first let the Huai Ru River overflow its banks.

Li Jianjun watched as Yu Haitang, supported by Yu Li, staggered unsteadily, clearly drunk.

"Sister-in-law, where are you taking Haitang so late at night?"

Yu Li gets furious whenever this is mentioned.

"Brother, don't even mention it. Haitang got drunk and insisted on going back."

Li Jianjun also stopped in his tracks. These two beauties were going back to their parents' home that night, and the Yan family didn't care.

Just then, Yu Haitang, who was drunk, was still muttering something to herself.

"Uncle... I was just saying... it's really not easy for Li Jianjun to get a job... so please stop... resenting him."

It was this drunken remark that made Li Jianjun immediately determined to send Yu Haitang back.

It goes without saying that Yu Haitang was praising him to Yan Bugui.

This girl is really outspoken.

"Sister-in-law, how about I take Haitang back by bicycle?"

“She’s drunk, so it’s not safe for the two of you to get back.”

With Yu Li nodding in agreement, Li Jianjun found a tricycle and took Yu Haitang back to her parents' home alone.

At first, Yu Li was a little worried, after all, Li Jianjun and Yu Haitang were alone together.

Li Jianjun patted his chest and said confidently.

"Don't worry, sister-in-law, I will definitely deliver Haitang safely."

Li Jianjun kept his word, a fact universally acknowledged in the courtyard, and Yu Li nodded at him.

"That's fine."

Li Jianjun rode his tricycle directly from the courtyard house to Yu Haitang's house.

On the way, Yu Haitang vomited twice more, and Li Jianjun patiently wiped her down.

Then Li Jianjun thought about it and decided to give the bottle of medicine to Yu Haitang for free.

Since that young girl was willing to speak up for herself, what's wrong with spending a bottle of medicine?

30 yuan is nothing to him.

Soon, Li Jianjun found their home according to the address Yu Li had given him.

Chapter 117 The mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law and is increasingly pleased.

Yu Li and Yu Haitang's home is also an ordinary courtyard house, the same as the one where Li Jianjun and his family live, and it is also a three-tiered courtyard house.

The family was allocated two rooms. Yu Haitang's parents lived in one room, and two other small rooms were also allocated. Yu Haitang lived in one room, and his younger brother lived in the other room.

In those days, it was common practice to divide houses into separate units, and only households with workers could be allocated a unit.

A family may have at most one or two workers, so the rooms they are allocated will inevitably not be distributed fairly.

Sometimes you don't even need to build a wall in the middle; just put a large wardrobe in the middle, and that's enough to separate the two.

As Li Jianjun pushed his tricycle to take Yu Haitang to her doorstep, he frequently encountered residents of the courtyard house, who looked at him curiously.

Generally, people living in courtyard houses like this are mostly from the same factory.

Even if they don't work in the same factory, they've lived together for so many years and know each other very well.

Suddenly, an unfamiliar face appeared, so it's no wonder everyone was watching with curiosity.

In the hazy darkness, Li Jianjun's face was barely visible, but even so, his tall figure and general outline left a deep impression on everyone.

"Whose house is this young man going to? He's really tall."

Some curious people couldn't help but come up and ask, and when they got closer, they got a clear look at Li Jianjun's face.

"This young man is really handsome."

Not long after the start of autumn, many people still retain the habit of cooling off in the summer.

A shout drew everyone to Li Jianjun, and that's how someone saw Yu Haitang lying on the tricycle.

"Isn't this Old Yu's second daughter? Why does she reek of alcohol? Has she had too much to drink?"

Why was it this young man who brought her back?

"Could this young man be the boyfriend of Old Yu's second daughter?"

The people were chattering away when, just then, Yu Haitang's parents also arrived to cool off.

The noise led them to Li Jianjun, and the elderly couple immediately recognized Yu Haitang lying on the tricycle.

"Haitang, you brat, how did you drink so much?"

Yu Haitang was still half asleep when she opened her eyes and saw her parents. She grinned.

"Mom and Dad... I had dinner at my sister's house today, and I only drank a little bit of alcohol, just a tiny bit."

Yu Haitang's father, Yu Jun, and her mother knew that their daughter had recently broken up with her boyfriend.

It's normal to go to your sister's house for dinner when you're in a bad mood, but who is this young man in front of you?

Seeing Yu Haitang drunk and staggering, her parents didn't expect her to offer any explanation. Instead, they looked at Li Jianjun.

Under the moonlight, the young man's appearance was truly stunning to the two elders. Not only was he so tall, but his face was also so handsome.

If this were in the countryside, you wouldn't find a young man with such good looks for miles around.

This young man doesn't seem like a bad person.

Just as the elderly couple were wondering what had happened, Li Jianjun explained the whole story to them.

"Uncle and Aunt, I live in the same compound as Sister-in-law Yu Li. I'm the deputy head of the security department at Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill. My name is Li Jianjun..."

Li Jianjun introduced himself to them methodically. Judging from the way the two elders were acting, they probably thought he was a bad guy.

If Li Jianjun doesn't explain himself, he'll never be able to clear his name, even if he jumped into the Yellow River.

"What? The deputy head of the security department at Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill?"

Not only the elderly couple, but also the onlookers were stunned.

"Old Yu, this young man is really good. He became a deputy section chief at such a young age."

"Your daughter is marrying above her station."

The elderly couple listened to everyone's discussion and felt very pleased.

His daughter, Yu Haitang, is just a broadcaster. If she and Li Jianjun could really get together, it would be a wonderful match.

"Young man, you've had a long day. Come in, come in and have some tea."

Li Jianjun initially wanted to refuse, as doing good deeds anonymously has always been his principle.

Moreover, after working all day, it was so late, and he wanted to go home and sleep as soon as possible.

However, unable to refuse the other party's hospitality, Li Jianjun had no choice but to comply.

"Uncle, how about this? I think it would be difficult for you at your age to move the crabapple."

"I'll help Haitang into the house."

Li Jianjun considered that it must have been difficult for the elderly couple to get such a grown girl from the tricycle into their house, so he agreed to let them bring Yu Haitang into the house.

Yu Jun quickly prepared tea for Li Jianjun and also brought over some high-quality Daqianmen cigarettes.

This is exactly the standard for entertaining a son-in-law.

Li Jianjun felt a little embarrassed, but Yu Haitang's mother still couldn't get enough of looking at him.

They had already entered the house, where the lighting was much better. The elderly couple carefully examined Li Jianjun, growing more and more fond of him with each look.

"Xiao Li, it's so late, are you hungry? How about I make you a meal?"

Yu Haitang's mother simply didn't know how to entertain Li Jianjun.

"Auntie, don't worry about me for now, go check on how Haitang is doing."

"If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave now."

After making his decision, Li Jianjun immediately got up and left.

What is there to say to Yu Haitang's parents?

Besides, given his current status, he doesn't need to curry favor with his parents.

They can handle the aftermath.

……

Back in the countryside, Qin Jingru had been waiting for several days without any news from Li Jianjun, and she was getting very anxious.

After returning to the countryside, she made all sorts of boasts, saying that she would go to work in the city in the future.

The villagers, young and old, were filled with envy, jealousy, and resentment towards Qin Jingru.

Everyone's saying that the Qin family is going to produce another girl who gets a government job.

The Qin family had once again made a name for themselves in Qin Family Village, and Qin Jingru was secretly delighted.

However, after a few days, Qin Huairu still hadn't come over, so Qin Jingru decided to return to the courtyard house again to urge Li Jianjun to put this matter on the agenda.

That evening, when it was time for dinner, the family sat around the table.

Qin Jingru's parents asked her.

"Jingru, didn't you say someone in the city would find you a job? You'd be able to start work in a couple of days, right?"

"You've been back for almost a week now, why haven't you given a definite date yet?"

"Is the person who made that promise just bragging?"

The parents' back-and-forth banter made Qin Jingru feel quite embarrassed.

"Mom, maybe it hasn't been approved by the higher-ups yet. You can't be too anxious."

Yu Jun's wife knew that Qin Jingru didn't usually lie, and that she shouldn't have kept this from them.

"How about this, Mom and Dad? I'll go to Beijing again tomorrow. This time, if Li Jianjun doesn't find me a job, I won't come back."
