Courtyard House: Drunk and barging into the Xu family's house, I woke up numb.

"Grandma, there aren't any suitable options for Sha Zhu right now."

"What girl from a good family in the city would want to marry him?"

"Liu Yuhua's father is on good terms with me, and even so, I had to say countless nice things before he agreed."

At that moment, a nurse came in and said she was taking the deaf old lady for a follow-up examination.

An older woman wanted to accompany him, but the deaf old lady refused, instead telling him to take care of Yi Zhonghai and give him breakfast first.

After the deaf old lady left, the middle-aged woman muttered to herself.

"You're really planning to send Sha Zhu to Liu Yuhua? I've met Liu Yuhua from your factory."

"Just like Sha Zhu said, he looks old, is dark-skinned and fat, and is exactly a 'little black fat man'."

Yi Zhonghaidao.

"What's wrong with the little fat guy? He's just healthy and blessed."

"You can't eat something just because it's pretty. It looks the same when the lights are off at night."

"If Liu Yuhua were any better looking, would he, Sha Zhu, have even gotten the chance?"

“Her parents both work, and she is their only daughter. After they pass away, won’t all of this be his stupid Zhu’s responsibility?”

"Most importantly, Liu Yuhua's personality can keep Qin Huairu in check."

"That's what the older woman said."

“You’re right. If this drags on any longer, Sha Zhu will fall into Qin Huairu’s den of wolves.”

Yi Zhonghai had originally planned to pair Qin Huairu with Sha Zhu, so that Qin Huairu would become pregnant and raise his son.

But after this incident, Yi Zhonghai had come to some understanding.

In addition, he has now injured his genitals, and the doctor said that it is uncertain whether he will be able to have a sex life in the future, let alone have children.

As a result, the chances of him having his own children in this lifetime are almost zero.

Then he had to catch Sha Zhu, the "foolish son" he had been educating for twelve years, because he knew Sha Zhu's personality well.

If you coax a donkey back with the right touch, and with the deaf old lady saying nice things to him, the boy will eventually come back to you.

Therefore, he had to find a good wife for Sha Zhu, and scheming women like Qin Huairu were not within his consideration.

He didn't want to be thrown against the wall by Sha Zhu one day, watching Qin Huairu swagger around like a tyrant.

Do you know why I set them up?

An older woman asked, puzzled.

"why?"

Yi Zhonghaidao.

"That's because Liu Cheng and I have a good relationship. We watched Liu Yuhua grow up, she's like our own niece."

"Her temper is bad to outsiders, but she is very filial to her family. Once she's married into the family, she will naturally take care of us in our old age."

The older woman thought Yi Zhonghai's words made some sense, and after a moment's thought, she said...

"But no matter how well we agree, we still need Sha Zhu's consent."

"If this silly Zhu doesn't like it, no matter how much you plead with him, it won't make a difference."

After leaving the hospital, He Yuzhu went to the steel rolling mill. Although he had just rejected Yi Zhonghai, he still felt that Liu Yuhua's conditions were quite good.

Besides, the last time he saw Liu Yuhua was two years ago, so he thought he should go and see her again.

They say girls change a lot as they grow up and become more and more beautiful. I haven't seen him for the past two years. What if he's grown up and gone to the twelfth house? Wouldn't he have missed out on a good marriage?

After figuring it out, He Yuzhu went to the second workshop, but what he saw there shocked him.

There was Liu Yuhua, smashing things with a sledgehammer. His body was so big it could have swallowed him whole.

Compared to two years ago, it's even better.

Even the oversized work clothes looked a bit too tight on her.

With that build, if they ever have a fight after they get married, he might not be able to win the argument.

As for his appearance, it hasn't improved at all; he looks exactly like Pigsy's second aunt.

The conditions that Sha Zhu is talking about now are a bit poor, but he absolutely cannot marry a woman like that.

Besides, he's already back at the factory. He's supposed to be a temporary worker, but given time, he'll surely return to his peak.

So even if he couldn't find someone like Qin Huairu, he would still have to marry someone similar to her.

I'll wait until Qin Huairu brings her sister to see her before I say anything.

Although conditions in the countryside are not good, it's still possible to be beautiful; at least you'll be pleasing to the eye.

He Yuzhu bypassed the second workshop and arrived at the cleaning team. He reported to the cleaning team leader, Zhou Dashan.

Zhou Dashan received a notice from the factory office early this morning, saying that He Yuzhu would be replacing Yi Zhonghai and continuing to serve the cleaning team.

"Comrade He Yuzhu, come with me."

After Zhou Dashan led He Yuzhu to collect the tools, he took him to the location of the East District toilet.

The East Toilet is a place frequently visited by workers from Workshops 1 to 4, and it is also the largest toilet in the factory area.

Nowadays, toilets are all dry toilets, where yellow and white waste is mixed together and poured into a pool at the back.

With many workers coming and going every day, the toilet needs to be cleaned daily, otherwise it might be unusable the next day.

He Yuzhu stood by the septic tank outside the toilet, and was stunned by the slightly pungent smell in the air.

"Comrade He Yuzhu, this is where you will be working."

"Your job is to keep this place clean, and the septic tank must be cleaned in a timely manner."

"Even though it's winter now, don't pile things up, lest the workers complain to the department that you're not working hard enough."

"Yi Zhonghai didn't come to work all day yesterday, and there's already a lot piled up. Just get started."

"If you have any questions or don't understand something, you can ask Sister Feng, who is in charge of the women's restroom next to you."

After saying this, Zhou Dashan gave Sister Feng a few instructions and then left.

Sister Feng naturally recognized He Yuzhu, and she stepped forward to greet him.

"Master He, it's getting late. Stop daydreaming and get to work."

He Yuzhu responded.

"okay, I get it."

He took out a pre-prepared eight-layer gauze mask from his pocket, put it on, then put on his work clothes, picked up his tools, and started working.

To be honest, Sha Zhu was really good at this job. He quickly got the hang of it and his speed in shoveling manure increased.

Sister Feng was speechless as she watched He Yuzhu's practiced movements.

"This silly Zhu is really a talent. This talent should have been sent to her a long time ago. It's a pity to leave him in the cafeteria."

"The shovel was like an extension of himself in his hands; it was incredibly steady."

"No wonder he came from the cafeteria. He's cooked this big pot of food without even stir-frying it. He's much faster than Yi Zhonghai."

"I'll have to have the captain report this to the higher-ups later. From now on, anyone who makes a mistake in the cafeteria should be sent here. That way, they're guaranteed to be right!"

Time flies, and an hour has passed in the blink of an eye.

The silly man had already jumped down into the latrine. After cleaning up the bottom and washing it with a hose, his morning's work would be finished.

Just then, the sound of footsteps came from afar, clearly someone was going to the toilet.

The person who arrived was none other than Xu Damao, He Yuzhu's mortal enemy.

Xu Damao worked in the propaganda department, so the news naturally came quickly.

Knowing that Sha Zhu had come here to clean the toilets, he immediately ran over to see what was going on.

Xu Damao stood on top, pinching his nose, and looked at He Yuzhu working below with a sly grin.

"Hey, isn't this Sha Zhu, the head chef from our steel rolling mill?"

"What's wrong? Instead of using your big iron shovel to cook, you're here shoveling manure?"

"Or are you going to stay here and research how to make stinky tofu, and then go and steal business from Wang Zhihe?"

He Yuzhu worked for more than an hour straight, which was both mentally and physically exhausting.

He was already in poor condition, and his eyes had lost some of their sparkle.

But now that he heard Xu Damao's voice, his spirits immediately recovered by half.

He Yuzhu pointed the shovel at Xu Damao and cursed.

"You little brat, don't talk back. If you've got the guts, come down here and let's fight one-on-one!"

"Don't say I'm bullying you, Grandpa. How about I give you a handicap with one hand?"

Even if he were to fight Sha Zhu, Xu Damao wouldn't lose his mind. He wouldn't be a match for Sha Zhu, even if he had both hands.

"You little brat, you want to fight your grandpa Xu? Fine, come on up here, come on up here."
