Courtyard House: Report enemy agents at the start, and you'll take off immediately.

Hearing that he was speaking unclearly, Zhao De raised his voice.

"You only brought that little bit?"

"Who in the neighborhood doesn't know that you bring back four full lunchboxes every day, rain or shine?"

"Even if each lunchbox weighs two or three pounds, you'll lose at least four or five pounds a day."

"That's 100 to 200 pounds a month, and over 2,000 pounds a year!"

"The lunchboxes you bring back in a month are more than your own salary."

"You're talking nonsense!"

Upon hearing Zhao De's words, Sha Zhu immediately became anxious.

......................

"Those are all leftovers!"

Zhao De mocked:

"Director Wang, you can ask everyone and you'll know whether I'm talking nonsense or not."

"He was always shaking his spoon there, making the canteen workers angry but not daring to speak out."

"We can only eat at the second canteen."

"He did this so that he could bring more food home after get off work."

“Everyone, tell me, why is He Yuzhu taking public property like this?”

"As a member of the steel rolling mill, do I have the responsibility and obligation to report this parasite?"

Half of the more than 20 households living in the courtyard house work at the steel rolling mill.

Normally, no one thought there was anything wrong with Sha Zhu bringing his own lunchbox.

However, after Zhao De's summary statement...

It instantly took everyone by surprise and brought a great shock.

"Shazhu, you've gone too far! How could you do something like this? Don't you have any professional ethics at all!"

For a time, ordinary residents began to criticize Sha Zhu.

......................

Everyone says Sha Zhu is dull-witted, but I'm truly ashamed of my own lack of intelligence!

Yan Bugui thought to himself.

[Sha Zhu did this because the old man asked him to help the Jia family. He wonders if this will implicate the old man; it would be best to bring him down.]

Liu Haixin thought to himself.

[Pillar, oh Pillar, I don't even know how to say hello to you!]

Yi Zhonghai felt somewhat helpless.

What happened next was both funny and sad.

Upon hearing Zhao De's admission, Sha Zhu felt a surge of anger and frustration.

I impulsively wanted to rush over and hit him.

Director Wang quickly stopped them:

"Stop him!"

"He Yuzhu, can you calm down?"

"If I can't calm down, I'll call the security department over right away."

Chapter Eleven: The Old Lady Makes Her Appearance

In the side room of the east wing.

Because food was being cooked on the stove, the older woman didn't go over to join in the fun.

Although she didn't go there in person, her mind was already on the other side.

Seeing Director Wang walking this way, the old lady realized that Sha Zhu might be at a disadvantage.

He didn't even bother with the stir-fried dishes in his hand, and hurriedly ran to the side room of the main house in the central courtyard.

He Yushui has been found.

“Rain, your brother is probably in trouble this time. Quickly go to the backyard and invite that deaf old lady over.”

"If the deaf old lady were here, they wouldn't dare do anything to your brother!"

He Yushui was still sulking, and stubbornly said:

"I'm not going to care about him!"

After much persuasion from the older woman, He Yushui was finally convinced.

At this moment, Sha Zhu was held down by the crowd and unable to move.

Faced with Director Wang's ultimatum, he finally calmed down a bit.

He didn't say anything more.

"Silly Zhu, do you realize you were wrong?"

Upon seeing this, Yi Zhonghai quickly intervened to mediate.

The plan is to minimize the problem and make it disappear.

...................

However, Sha Zhu did not respond.

He was actually still unconvinced.

Seeing this, Zhao De was somewhat dissatisfied.

However, after hearing Director Wang's idea, he chose to remain silent.

Director Wang's expression turned grim, and he said to He Yuzhu:

"Whether it's your past actions or your present actions."

"It has already had an extremely negative impact on our streets."

"We've decided to fine you twenty yuan."

"You will be responsible for the sanitation and cleaning of this courtyard, the streets, and the public toilets for three months."

This punishment is quite severe.

In everyone's opinion, if it weren't for Zhao De's involvement...

It's estimated that the fine will last at most a month, and the amount of the fine is unlikely to be as high as twenty yuan.

Sha Zhu immediately became furious upon hearing about the punishment.

He pointed at Zhao De, looking both angry and anxious.

......................

"Why is this happening?!"

"It's an unwritten rule in the chef's world that I bring my own lunchbox to eat."

"These are the rules passed down from our ancestors, and they are perfectly natural!"

"How can you allow factory leaders to bleed the workers dry while not letting me have a sip of soup?!"

"His reporting me is retaliation!"

"Director Wang, you can't just protect Zhao De because he arrested an enemy agent today!"

Sha Zhu started spouting nonsense without any regard for the consequences.

They even mentioned things like factory leaders sucking the workers' blood, which made Yi Zhonghai's eyelids twitch.

In this era, workers held the highest status.

If tomorrow, because of this statement, the workers collectively go to the factory leaders to cause trouble.

That would really blow things up.

Even Sha Zhu, who just wanted a sip of soup, would definitely be implicated.

However, Shazhu seemed completely unconcerned about this.

After all, he had an old man and a deaf old woman in the courtyard to back him up.

He also had cooking skills at the factory, so no one could do anything about him.

Zhao De knew that besides being good at fighting, Sha Zhu was also good at arguing.

I had expected him to say that.
