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

As the saying goes, Rome wasn't built in a day!

Human hearts don't grow cold overnight, of course.

Qin Huairu's days in the Jia family were truly like walking on thin ice.

No matter what she wanted to do, she had to think about whether it would displease her mother-in-law, Jia Zhangshi, because if anything went wrong, Jia Zhangshi would droop her face as if Qin Huairu had done something heinous.

In the past, Jia Dongxu would comfort her afterwards, telling her how hard his mother had worked.

But if his mother had it tough, did she have it easy?

"Sister-in-law, even if you don't manage the household, you wouldn't know how much it costs me. Every day I have to calculate what to eat, whether we have enough food, what we need to buy, and what we need to prepare. You have no idea how expensive firewood, rice, oil, and salt are when you're in charge of a household!"

When it comes to being truly hurtful, Yu Li is absolutely a professional, a true expert.

She kept rubbing salt into Qin Huairu's wounds with one particular thing.

"It's getting late, I need to go back and cook. Let's talk again later!"

Qin Huairu simply couldn't hold on any longer and had no choice but to retreat.

Yu Li smiled and saw Qin Huairu off, adding that being filial doesn't mean being an old person who does nothing.

"Sister-in-law, let me tell you, your mother-in-law is just trying to reap without sowing!"

"They are parasites on society!"

"This isn't filial piety; you're letting her go astray!"

"Yu Li, just say less!"

Qin Huairu looked at Yu Li with a bitter expression, "That's my mother-in-law. If I say anything bad about her, she can talk about me all day!"

"If she finds out you said that, she'll never forgive you!"

"Don't meddle in my affairs!"

Qin Huairu stopped Yu Li, who was about to see her out, and carried Xiao Dang straight out of the back room and headed towards the central courtyard.

Yu Li watched Qin Huairu walk away, a mysterious smile appearing on her face.

Yang Ruihua stood at the entrance of the Yan family's house and saw Qin Huairu come out of the back room. Her eyes were complicated and her expression was inscrutable.

No one knows what she's thinking.

However, Yang Ruihua felt conflicted every time he saw Qin Huairu and Yu Li walking together.

She always felt that Yu Li and Qin Huairu had been gossiping about their family a lot.

But without evidence, there's nothing you can do about this.

Yu Li naturally saw Yang Ruihua as well, but she didn't have a good impression of her former mother-in-law, who had only been in effect for one day.

Yang Ruihua couldn't possibly have been uninvolved in the Yan family's marriage fraud.

Therefore, none of the Yan family members are good people in Yu Li's eyes.

Some people might even think that Yu Li is a fool who was easily fooled by their family.

Yang Ruihua noticed Yu Li looking over and looked a little embarrassed. He wanted to say something, but Yu Li turned around and went back into the house, closing the door behind her.

"well……"

Yang Ruihua sighed deeply, truly regretting his past actions.

In fact, Yu Li was right.

Previously, the Yan family was quite proud that they had used this back room as their wedding room, as they had married their daughter-in-law without spending much money. Yan Bugui proudly stated that this was all thanks to his shrewdness.

But now, Yan Bugui is too ashamed to continue reciting his wise saying at home.

You won't go poor from eating or dressing, but you will if you don't plan ahead.

This saying, once a family motto passed down in the Yan family, has now become a taboo in the Yan family. Anyone who mentions it will incur Yan Jiecheng's mad hatred, even Yan Bugui!

Yan Bugui sighed many times because of this, lamenting that a single misstep could lead to eternal regret.

Unfortunately, no matter how much Yan Bugui regrets his actions, what's done is done, and there's no way to make up for it.

No, it's not that it can't be fixed, but the difficulty level is very high.

To make up for all this, Yan Jiecheng needs to find a new wife, and this wife has to be even better than Yu Li.

But for the Yan family, this was like a toad trying to eat swan meat.

……

Steel rolling mill.

Shen Zhishou's outstanding performance earned him Song Peiman's approval, who then directly allowed him to learn from him.

In the eyes of Song Peiman, an outstanding eighth-level fitter, Shen Zhishou possessed such exceptional talent that it should be put to good use, so that the student could surpass his teacher.

"That's right, exactly! I told you, you're a natural fitter!"

During breaks from his work, Song Peiman would take time to give Shen Zhishou special guidance on various techniques.

In the past, apprentices who followed Song Peiman for a year or so had no chance to be by his side and receive his teachings.

It wasn't that Song Peiman was unwilling to teach, but rather that even if he did teach, the students wouldn't understand, making it a pure waste of time.

However, Shen Zhishou was an exception.

With just a little guidance, Shen Zhishou could grasp many things, and apply them to other situations, achieving a level of mastery that was simply phenomenal.

If Song Peiman hadn't been certain that Shen Zhishou was a complete novice, he would have suspected that Shen Zhishou had been working as a fitter for decades.

"Study hard, and I'll ask Director Zhou for a workbench for you later. You'll be handling level one workpieces without any problems!"

Song Peiman genuinely felt that Shen Zhishou was a bit abnormal.

In one day, he became very proficient with all sorts of tools.

He'd been a fitter for so many years, and he'd never encountered anyone with such talent.

To put it bluntly, Shen Zhishou's job as a fitter is a gift from God.

Even Song Peiman sometimes couldn't help but feel jealous, and would think that if he had Shen Zhishou's talent, he wouldn't have suffered so much.

"Master, it's all thanks to your excellent teaching!"

"I'm only doing this because of you!"

Shen Zhishou was not arrogant.

He is indeed very talented, but if Song Peiman hadn't taught him without reservation, he wouldn't have been able to learn so quickly and make such great progress.

As the old saying goes, true knowledge can be conveyed in a single sentence, while false knowledge can fill countless volumes.

"No, I'm just introducing you to this field. You're actually suited for this job."

"I said the same thing to Xiao Wang, but he didn't understand at all."

Wang Mingliang, who had been practicing on his own, suddenly heard Song Peiman mention his name. His face instantly fell, and he said dejectedly, "Master, I've already tried so hard!"

"Yes, yes, yes, keep up the good work!"

Song Peiman chuckled, waved his hand, and ignored Wang Mingliang.

Shen Zhishou looked at Comrade Xiao Wang with sympathy.

In his past life, he had many similar experiences to Comrade Xiao Wang.

When he was in school, the overwhelming advantage that the top students and geniuses gave him made him feel like he didn't have a brain.

Now, it's his turn to become a top student!

This feeling, well, I must say, is really great.

After a brief interruption, Shen Zhishou continued to immerse himself in his focused studies.

This journey not only transformed his body but also strengthened his spirit, giving him power and focus, making him incredibly efficient at learning anything.

Of course, Shen Zhishou studied so hard because he knew that in a few years, the worker-level assessment would be put on hold.

He must seize the moment and become a senior fitter as soon as possible.
