Courtyard House: She got anxious when He Yushui wasn't licked.

The imagination is wonderful, but the reality is cruel. These four temporary workers, whether on purpose or under someone's instruction, would devour meat and vegetables as soon as they were served.

Before Yi Zhonghai could even pick up his chopsticks, the plate of shredded pork was devoured by the four of them, leaving not a drop of broth.

The four temporary workers blinked their big eyes, as if to say, "What are you looking at? Haven't you ever seen someone eat so fast?"

The kitchen helpers serving the food seemed to be stubborn, as they kept bringing meat dishes to the temporary workers while placing vegetable dishes in front of Yi Zhonghai and his group.

After this happened twice in a row, Yi Zhonghai couldn't help but ask the kitchen helper serving the dishes, his tone slightly displeased: "Hey, hey, didn't you see that we don't have a single meat dish here?"

The kitchen helper glanced at the food and replied, "What does it matter to me if you don't have any meat or vegetables on your side?" Then he left without giving Yi Zhonghai a chance to get angry.

The four temporary workers ate the braised pork knuckle, grabbed some shredded pork and braised pork belly, and then resorted to a shameless trick with the last ribs, sneezing into them. As a result, they didn't get to eat any of the four meat dishes.

Qin Huairu was so angry that she wanted to confront the factory leaders. Just as she stood up, Li Huaide walked over and said, "You have such a good appetite, you don't leave any meat or vegetables. You should eat some vegetables too, otherwise your nutrition will be unbalanced."

Liu Haizhong got up to explain, but Li Huaide didn't give him a chance. He called over the kitchen helper and instructed, "Serve some vegetables to the older employees at this table, and less meat for those with high blood sugar, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol."

The kitchen helper immediately nodded like a chick pecking at rice.

As Li Huaide left, he smiled and said, "Eat well, drink well, and have a Happy New Year!"

Qin Huairu sat down, seething with anger. She looked around at everyone else, who were all having a good time, but their table was like a battlefield, with everyone locked in a standoff.

Yi Zhonghai keenly sensed that he and his group were being targeted, as if an invisible hand was manipulating everything.

Looking at the vegetarian dishes, which were either stir-fried cabbage or eggplant, Liu Haizhong suddenly lost his appetite.

Xu Damao looked at the scrambled eggs with tomatoes. He poked at it with his chopsticks and found that it was almost entirely tomatoes, with the eggs about the size of scallions. He was speechless and said, "Is this scrambled eggs with tomatoes? I think it should be called scrambled eggs with tomatoes."

Chapter 143 Qin Huairu is thinking about the leftovers

As the factory leaders began their banquet, the performance on the stage also started.

This idea of ​​eating while watching is novel and can better boost the atmosphere among factory workers.

On stage, Shi Qiao and Xu Ting became a male-female co-host.

As the factory workers performed their programs one by one, cheers and applause could be heard from the audience from time to time.

Compared to the awkward situation at Yi Zhonghai's table, the table where Wang Lin was sitting seemed exceptionally harmonious.

Wang Lin kept putting food on Zhang Jiao's plate, and the factory leaders teased him, saying that Wang Lin was being kind to his wife.

Zhang Jiao blushed deeply as she shyly ate the meat dishes. If she hadn't met Wang Lin, she might never have had this opportunity in her life.

Factory Director Yang raised his glass and said, "Everyone, raise your glasses to toast Director Wang. Without him, we wouldn't have this feast."

The factory leaders collectively raised their glasses in a toast, saying, "To Director Wang."

Wang Lin didn't refuse, raised his glass, clinked glasses with everyone, and drank it all in one gulp.

Li Huaide gave a thumbs up and said, "Director Wang, impressive."

Wang Lin said modestly, "My alcohol tolerance is average, so please don't force me to drink."

"Haha, everyone must have a great time at the company's annual party tonight."

"Yes! It only happens once a year."

The factory leaders refused to let Wang Lin off the hook, and each of them toasted him.

Zhang Jiao wanted to help Wang Lin avoid drinking, but Wang Lin's alcohol tolerance was extraordinary. He secretly winked at Zhang Jiao, whispering to her that he couldn't get drunk.

After drinking four or five glasses of wine, the factory leaders were all red-faced and their necks were thick, but Wang Lin looked as if nothing had happened.

Seeing how much Wang Lin could drink, able to outdrink so many factory leaders by himself, Zhang Jiao's admiration for him deepened.

During the event, colleagues from the purchasing department came to offer toasts, and Wang Lin responded to each one.

Factory Director Yang and the others shook their heads inwardly as they watched Wang Lin drink so heavily. They were just weaklings and couldn't possibly outdrink him!

As each program came to a close, the final judging round selected the top three winners and presented them with awards.

The banquet ended amidst laughter and cheerful conversation.

Wang Lin took Zhang Jiao away on his motorcycle. He wanted to take Zhang Jiao home because it was too late and he was worried about letting her go home alone.

As for the others, it was quite late when the show ended, and they all went home in groups of three or five, tipsy.

Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong, and Xu Damao were truly angered by the temporary workers in the factory. Whenever a main dish was served, they were not allowed to touch it.

The temporary workers were only allowed to eat meat and vegetables, while the three of them were not allowed to eat, as if it had been pre-arranged.

Yi Zhonghai felt that there must be someone behind these four people directing them, but he couldn't guess who it was for the time being!

The three men, already full of anger, only touched their chopsticks a few times, ate a few bites of vegetables, and after drinking some wine, they got bored, glared at the four temporary workers, and left.

Rather than being mistreated here, I'd rather go home, cook a couple of dishes, and have a couple of drinks by myself.

The end of the annual meeting was for the kitchen helpers to do their hard work and clean up. In return, they were given a late-night snack and leftovers to take home.

Qin Huairu originally planned to help pack up the leftovers and go home after everyone finished eating, but the kitchen helpers were united in their resentment and wouldn't let Qin Huairu interfere.

Qin Huairu was already resentful enough for getting meat at the annual party banquet, but she didn't expect to be bullied by the kitchen helpers now. She looked at Ma Hua and questioned, "Ma Hua, can you bear to watch these people bully me? If your master finds out, he will definitely teach you a lesson."

Using a foolish pillar to suppress the MCA was Qin Huairu's idea.

MCA was already in a difficult position upon hearing this, and now it's even more difficult for them.

Liu Lan looked at Ma Hua and reminded him, "Ma Hua, you can't side with outsiders."

The kitchen helpers all keep an eye on MCA. If MCA dares to oppose them, they will ostracize him and make it impossible for him to stay.

"Ma Hua, your master really misjudged you." Qin Huairu looked at the remaining meat on the table. She no longer cared about saving face. If she packed it up and took it home, it would be enough for her whole family to have a delicious meal.

"I..." Ma Hua was truly at a loss for words, his face full of struggle.

"Colleagues, clear out the irrelevant people. We've been serving everyone all day, now it's our turn." Wang Han's words made sense to the kitchen helpers, and they all started to drive Qin Huairu away.

"Qin Huairu, please leave."

"Exactly, you shamelessly wait for the leftovers, and if you take them away, what are we supposed to take?"

"How dare a factory worker compete with us kitchen helpers for benefits? Why should he?"

The kitchen helpers united as one, and both the first and second canteens began to drive Qin Huairu away.

Looking at these people, Qin Huairu wanted to throw a tantrum, but just as she was about to do so, she felt herself being carried away by four people and headed straight out of the factory.

The ones carrying her were none other than Yang Laosan from the First Canteen and his three apprentices.

Yang Laosan looked at Qin Huairu and chuckled, "Widow Qin, don't worry about the leftovers. It's getting late, go home early."

Qin Huairu tried to struggle, but the four men were incredibly strong. Unwilling to miss out on the leftovers, she cried out, "Help! We've been kidnapped!"

Yang Laosan pulled out a handkerchief from somewhere and stuffed it into Qin Huairu's mouth, forcing her to shut up.

When the security guards saw the factory cooks carrying a woman, they went up to question them.

Yang Laosan told them that this widow Qin was actually eyeing the leftover food inside.

Upon hearing this, the security personnel immediately understood. Qin Huairu was incredibly bold, daring to snatch food from the mouths of the kitchen helpers. She had no powerful backing, so wasn't she just asking for trouble?

Qin Huairu was left on the ground at the factory gate, and Yang Laosan led his three apprentices back home.

There were quite a few leftovers tonight, including many hearty dishes, so each of them was able to pack up a lot to take home, enough to satisfy the whole family's cravings.

"No! I have to fight for it."

Qin Huairu was determined and refused to give up; she got up and wanted to rush in.

The security guards stopped Qin Huairu and said, "Widow Qin, go back quickly."

Qin Huairu looked at the security guards and said with red eyes, "I have a mother-in-law and three children at home. They are waiting for me to pack some leftovers to take home."

After listening to Qin Huairu's vivid account, the security personnel asked, "And then?"

Qin Huairu overlooked the fact that these people weren't like He Yuzhu's sycophant; they didn't care who was in her family or whether she had enough to eat.

In this era when everyone is struggling to get enough to eat, who doesn't have elderly parents to support and young children to raise?

Qin Huairu's situation is not the majority, but it is certainly very common.

The security personnel stood guard at the main gate, determined not to let Qin Huairu go in and cause trouble.

Seeing that the security personnel were unmoved and that crying and playing the victim were useless, Qin Huairu simply dusted herself off and walked away with a disgruntled expression.

Chapter 144 System Upgrade, Stick Smashes Glass

When Wang Lin returned to the courtyard late at night, he found that the light in the deaf old woman's house was still on. He listened carefully and thought he could still hear Sha Zhu's voice coming from inside.

Back inside, the two mythical beasts were already asleep.

Because it was almost Chinese New Year, Wang Lin took Fang Yue home in the morning and also brought her a lot of things, mostly things he produced himself, such as beef, mutton, chicken, duck, peanuts, melon seeds, and candy.

Chen Amao and Wang Lin did not neglect him either, giving him some meat, fruits and vegetables so that he and his family could have a prosperous New Year.

Wang Lin turned on the light, glanced at the time, and saw it was already 12:30. He lay on the sofa and muttered, "Master, sign in."

【叮咚！宿主签到成功！恭喜宿主获得八极拳宗师卡X1、宗师级厨师卡X1、倒霉符X10、腹泻符X10、新年大礼包X10、汽油X10吨、施工队装修卡X1。】

Perhaps because the Chinese New Year is just around the corner, the sign-in reward wasn't exactly generous, just pretty good, but then a system notification sounded the next second.

"New Year, new look! The check-in system will be upgraded for seven days. Countdown begins: 168:00:00."

Wang Lin was excited. His sign-in system had actually been updated, which meant he could sign in for even better things in the future.

Wang Lin naturally used the Bajiquan Grandmaster Card and the Grandmaster Chef Card directly, while saving up the Unlucky Charm and Diarrhea Charm to properly punish those beasts tomorrow.

What excited Wang Lin the most was the construction team's renovation card. It was like finding a needle in a haystack, and then getting it without any effort at all. Perhaps sensing Wang Lin's strong desire, the system indeed provided something that Wang Lin desperately needed.

Construction Team Renovation Card: Strictly renovate the host's yard according to the host's requirements. It has many advanced technologies. Please explore them on your own.

The key point of this introduction is that any house under Wang Lin's name can be renovated. So if he takes over the deaf old lady's house, wouldn't this small courtyard become his domain?

Just as Wang Lin was feeling quite pleased with himself, someone smashed the window.

The noise startled Wang Lin, who immediately opened the door and went outside to investigate.

A figure ran incredibly fast and disappeared in the blink of an eye, but Wang Lin recognized him clearly with his eyesight—it was Jia Banggeng, Qin Huairu's ungrateful son.

During this time, Jia Banggeng followed his beggar master to learn martial arts. Now his slingshot skills are so good that he never misses a shot. Qin Huairu went home empty-handed. In addition, He Yuzhu was fired, and their family's standard of living plummeted. Jia Banggeng regarded Wang Lin as the culprit. Tonight, unable to hold back any longer, Jia Banggeng planned to smash the windows of Wang Lin's house to collect some interest.
