Courtyard House: They all say I'm a good person

A day's work is easy and relaxing, just like playing.

Shen Zhishou's relaxed and carefree attitude made everyone at the grain station realize that people really can't be compared to each other.

As the workday was drawing to a close, Su Fuying, the director of the grain depot, approached Li Man, the deputy director, with a rather grave expression.

"Director, what happened?"

When Li Man saw Su Fuying's expression, his heart skipped a beat.

The last time Su Fuying showed this expression was when the grain station was experiencing a shortage of grain. Was there going to be another grain shortage?

"It's nothing, it's just that Comrade Shen is so capable, don't you think it's a bit of a waste of his talents to have him work as a porter at our grain station?"

"Huh? This...?"

Li Man fell silent instantly.

After a moment, Li Man looked up at Su Fuying and said, "Xiao Shen is just a bit strong, how is that a waste of his talents?"

Su Fuying sighed and slowly said, "Just now, I received a phone call from the train station."

"Are they trying to kidnap people?"

Li Man immediately understood what Su Fuying meant.

Turns out, I guessed wrong!

Su Fuying shook her head and continued, "Station Master Yang at the train station said he's planning to recommend Xiao Shen to the steel rolling mill!"

"Of course, Station Master Yang said he'll recommend people to come over for our moving work!"

What's your opinion on this?

Su Fuying looked at Li Man, actually weighing the pros and cons in her mind.

She didn't know what the relationship was between Shen Zhishou and Yang Zhenhua at the train station, but the fact that Yang Zhenhua had taken the initiative to make the call meant that if she agreed to Shen Zhishou's transfer, Yang Zhenhua would owe her a favor.

However, the affairs of the grain station were not something that Su Fuying could decide on her own.

"We still have to give Station Chief Yang face."

Li Man thought for a moment and ultimately didn't object. "We'll release them once we get news from the steel mill!"

"OK!"

Su Fuying nodded in agreement.

……

Shen Zhishou was unaware that Yang Zhenhua was so efficient in handling matters.

The day's work was over, and it was a little late. The food he had gotten at the grain depot canteen had gone completely cold.

Back at the courtyard house, Shen Zhishou unexpectedly encountered Sha Zhu, who was carrying a net bag.

"Master He, are you working overtime?"

"Oh, right, the factory had a treat today, so I worked overtime!"

Sha Zhu grinned.

Looking at Sha Zhu's rather heavy net bag, Shen Zhishou couldn't help but recall the scene at the beginning of the story: chicken stew with mushrooms, half for the leader and half for Sha Zhu.

I don't know when Sha Zhu started doing these weird things.

The two walked together and, after exchanging only a few words, entered the courtyard house.

The door to the back room opened at the right time. Yu Li, who was inside, had heard the noise outside and opened the door early to wait for Shen Zhishou.

When Sha Zhu saw Yu Li, a dark glint flashed in his eyes, and he quickened his pace.

At this moment, Shazhu's heart was in turmoil.

They're both human, but Shen Zhishou married a beautiful wife as soon as he entered the city, while he, despite looking at many potential wives, still couldn't find one.

Sha Zhu was very hurt.

Shen Zhishou was unaware of Shazhu's inner thoughts; he didn't even take Shazhu seriously.

When he got home, he handed the lunchbox to Yu Li, who then went to reheat the dishes.

Then, we ate.

During dinner, Yu Li started talking about what had happened during the day.

She had bad luck today and couldn't find any work, so she came back at noon.

"In the afternoon, I asked Qin Huairu to help me make a quilt, and her mother-in-law came over and said that their son was too big and wanted to make a cotton-padded jacket, but they were short of cotton!"

"You want to borrow two pounds of cotton from me!"

"I've never seen anyone with such thick skin!"

Yu Li was very angry when she talked about what happened that afternoon.

Shen Zhishou listened to Yu Li's ramblings but didn't know how to comfort her.

It's true that he lusted after Qin Huairu, but it's also true that he didn't dare to easily provoke her. The reason for this was because of Jia Zhangshi, because of that ungrateful family in the Jia family.

Shen Zhishou didn't want to end up like Sha Zhu, being manipulated by Qin Huairu into forming a clique.

Therefore, he never made a move against Qin Huairu.

However, it seems possible to manipulate things secretly to make Qin Huairu increasingly disappointed with the Jia family, until she finally despairs and loses all hope.

Water at 100 degrees Celsius will cool down, let alone the human heart at 37 degrees Celsius.

The two ate and talked.

Unexpectedly, Qin Huairu came again!

This time, however, Qin Huairu wasn't there to borrow vegetables; she was forced to borrow cotton.

"Sister-in-law, do you think this is appropriate?"

"My husband and I just got married, and we're dirt poor. We need to buy everything!"

Yu Li looked at Qin Huairu with some displeasure.

In the afternoon, Qin Huairu still tried to stop Jia Zhangshi, but unexpectedly, she came over on her own in the evening.

"Yu Li, I know this is wrong, but I have no choice!"

"My mother-in-law and my husband are both forcing me to come, so I..."

Qin Huairu looked at Yu Li with a pitiful expression, avoiding eye contact.

Seeing Qin Huairu looking like a doormat, Yu Li was so angry that she threw down her chopsticks.

"Sure, borrowing cotton is fine too!"

Yu Li got up, walked to the door, and bolted it.

Qin Huairu was stunned when she saw Yu Li's actions, not understanding what Yu Li meant.

Yu Li returned to Qin Huairu's side, took her hand, and said, "Sister-in-law, everyone has their difficulties. I have enough to eat and wear now, but I still have my share of troubles. I can lend you some cotton, but shouldn't you help me too?"

"I'll help!"

Qin Huairu did not hesitate at all.

"What's bothering you? I'll help you!"

Forced by her mother-in-law and husband to borrow cotton, otherwise she would be unfit to be a mother, Qin Huairu felt very wronged, but she had no one to rely on and nowhere to go, so she could only compromise.

Yu Li immediately leaned close to Qin Huairu's ear and whispered, "My man is too amazing, I can't do it alone. You have to help me, sleep with him!"

"ah?!"

Qin Huairu was stunned when she heard Yu Li's words. The next moment, she stood up and walked quickly towards the door, not daring to stay in the back room for even a moment longer.

She's married, how could she possibly sleep with another man?

Yu Li watched Qin Huairu escape without stopping her.

She did want Qin Huairu to help her, but she wasn't really willing, so she was conflicted.

Just then, Qin Huairu came to borrow cotton. Even though she was forced to come by Jia Zhangshi and Jia Dongxu, Yu Li was still unhappy, so she simply used this method to force Qin Huairu to leave.

Qin Huairu hurriedly opened the door to the back room and rushed out as if her life depended on it.

Upon seeing this, Yu Li couldn't help but smile, feeling extremely happy.

Shen Zhishou shook his head at Yu Li's antics and said, "Aren't you afraid Qin Huairu will actually agree?"

Yu Li snorted and said, "I'd love for her to agree. If she still has feelings for the Jia family, you can sleep with her until she begs for mercy!"

"..."

Shen Zhishou was truly exasperated by Yu Li.

This woman's thought process is truly unique.
