The Courtyard House: Xu Damao's Aunt is the Queen of Women

It's definitely over.

When Sha Zhu saw Ye Juan, Liu Hao, and the others move to Liu Lan's window number three, he was so angry that he almost smashed his iron spoon on the ground.

He turned his head to look at Liu Lan, opened his mouth and then closed it again, venting his resentment on the workers serving the food. His hands trembled like he had Parkinson's disease, and the stir-fried cabbage in the iron ladle clattered out, leaving only half a ladle.

But he didn't notice who was serving the food!

Zhang Tieshan, nicknamed "Zhang the Cannon," is the only level eight forging worker in the factory!

This guy is from Northeast China. He has a fiery temper, is 1.85 meters tall, and is burly and fierce. He comes from a family of blacksmiths, and seven generations of his ancestors made a living by blacksmithing. Before liberation, he joined the Lou family's steel rolling mill, the predecessor of the Third Steel Rolling Mill.

Relying on the blacksmithing skills he learned from childhood, and his literacy, he quickly mastered forging techniques and was rated as an eighth-grade forging worker in 1960. He was a genuine eighth-grade worker, not a fake eighth-grade worker like Yi Zhonghai.

Moreover, he was highly respected in the factory because Zhang Dapao was generous and righteous. Although he would often scold and kick his apprentices, he genuinely taught them the skills. He taught as many apprentices as the factory assigned to him, treating them all equally and teaching them with care and dedication.

Where can you find such a good master?

Liu Haizhong was influenced by Zhang Dapao, which is why he sincerely taught his apprentices, unlike Yi Zhonghai, a hypocrite who was afraid that his apprentices would starve him.

"Silly Zhu, are you having an epileptic seizure?"

Zhang Dapao coldly watched as Sha Zhu tossed a spoonful of food until only half remained, and asked with a forced smile.

Sha Zhu was stealing glances at Ye Juan when he instinctively retorted, "Eat it or don't, if you don't want to eat it, get lost. That's just how I am..."

Zhang Dapao lived up to his name; his temper was like a cannon, ready to explode at any moment. He swung his hand and smashed the lunchbox onto Shazhu's forehead, cursing loudly.

"You little bastard, whose father are you?"

Thump! Sha Zhu was hit and stumbled, clutching his head and squatting on the ground, groaning twice. The anger that had been building up over the past night and today finally exploded.

"You son of a bitch, you dare to smash my things? You've got a death wish! I'll teach you a lesson you won't forget!"

Ma Hua was stunned. Had his master gone mad? He even dared to mess with Zhang Dapao.

The workers were also greatly shocked; Sha Zhu was really reckless, even more reckless than Zhang Fei.

Sha Zhu jumped up, grabbed a large iron ladle, and was about to rush out to fight.

But the next second, he seemed to have been struck by a pressure point, and stood there stunned.

Because he saw Zhang Dapao standing at the window, staring at him with a sharp, amused gaze.

Sha Zhu felt a chill run down his spine. The anger in his heart vanished in an instant, replaced by panic!

Oh no, how did it get to this old bastard?

"Come, let me see how many eyes Lord Horse has!"

Sha Zhu was startled, swallowed hard, and said with a forced smile, "This... Master Zhang! I didn't see it was you. I'm sorry, I'll get you a new dish."

Zhang Tieshan wasn't buying it; he glared at Sha Zhu, that worthless bastard, with utter disgust.

"Smack your grandma's leg, you wicked little glass ball! Call your director over here, I, Zhang Tieshan, am going to have a good talk with him today."

"In the canteen, a spoonful of food is reduced to half; how can anyone work if they're not full? How can they contribute to socialism?"

"In my opinion, that bastard Sha Zhu is a spy, sent by Baldy to sabotage us!"

This statement immediately drew many echoes of its sentiment.

Sha Zhu has been flipping the wok for a long time. This scoundrel flips the wok on whoever he doesn't like. He is valued by the leaders because of his cooking skills, and he is also strong and healthy. The workers who are flipped by him dare not speak out against him.

I've offended Zhang Dapao today, so I have to get my revenge.

"That silly Zhu keeps flipping the wok for me, just because I had a fight with Qin Huairu once!"

"Sha Zhu is truly inhuman, the worst of the worst. That time Qin Huairu and Yi Zhonghai got half a spoonful more food than they should have given them? It couldn't even fit in their lunchboxes!"

"That bastard is too arrogant. Just because he's a good cook, he doesn't even respect Yu Chenggang, the cafeteria director. If you say a few words to him, he immediately starts behaving like a bully. He's a bastard who was born of a father but had no mother!"

"Sha Zhu is a spy, arrest him and send him to be shot!"

The crowd began to accuse Sha Zhu of his many misdeeds. At first, they just cursed him, but later they wanted to drag Sha Zhu away to be shot at.

The fool in the window was furious, gritting his teeth in anger.

I was just flipping a spoon, why are you making such a big deal out of it?

His stubborn temper flared up, and he pointed at Zhang Dapao, yelling, "Zhang Dapao, don't push your luck!"

"This is going too far!"

Zhang Dapao really hated that scumbag Sha Zhu; the more he looked at him, the more displeased he became.

"I'm not going to argue with you. Xiao Yang, go call the factory manager over!"

Apprentice Wang Yang turned and ran out. He had only run a few steps when Yang Xingguo and Li Huaide accompanied a middle-aged man into the canteen, one on each side.

Seeing the mess in the cafeteria, the smiles on Yang Xingguo and Li Huaide's faces gradually disappeared, and they had a bad feeling.

Today, Jiang Yuanfang, the director of the Technical Department of the Ministry of Metallurgical Industry, who had specially brought a truckload of special steel to the Third Steel Rolling Mill to personally hand over a secret mission to Zhang Tieshan, an eighth-grade forging worker, frowned upon seeing this and asked, "What's going on?"

Yang Xingguo broke out in a cold sweat and quickly said, "Boss, it's probably just the workers arguing..."

In the crowd, a quick-witted worker suddenly shouted.

"Factory manager, it was Sha Zhu who tossed the wok for Master Zhang. He also often tossed the wok for us, deliberately making sure we weren't fed enough, so we didn't have the energy to work and slowed down the production schedule. He's a spy sent by Baldy!"

Yang Xingguo's face turned ashen; it was that silly Zhu again.

Li Huaide, on the other hand, was gloating because Sha Zhu was Yang Xingguo's man.

Liu Hao, who was watching the commotion from the crowd, clicked his tongue in amazement. He could tell how low Sha Zhu's character was just from the way he flipped the wok.

When reading novels about courtyard houses in the past, many people sympathized with Sha Zhu, felt sorry for him, and felt sorry for him. Liu Hao really couldn't understand it.

Is Sha Zhu worthy of sympathy?

His character and personality are worthy of all the suffering he has endured.

This kind of lecherous, arrogant, unprincipled, and shameless person, who sleeps with Lou Xiao'e, lusts after Qin Huairu, chases after Qin Jingru, thinks about Ran Qiuye, doesn't seriously teach his disciples, and is a foul-mouthed, insidious, sycophantic scoundrel, was destined to freeze to death in a bridge hole and be torn apart by wild dogs.

Lou Xiao'e brought He Xiao back. What did Sha Zhu do?

She disowns her own son and leeches off Lou Xiao'e to raise three ungrateful wretches!

This kind of person is even more hateful than Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu. He deserves to be torn apart by wild dogs and should be childless, just like his father Yi, who is without descendants.

"Tossing the food in a pan?"

Jiang Yuanfang looked at Zhang Tieniu and spoke in a gentle tone.

"Master Zhang, please explain what happened!"

Jiang Yuanfang really liked Zhang Tieshan, a skilled and reliable master craftsman.

Zhang Tieshan was originally supposed to be transferred to work in the Northwest, but unfortunately he failed the political review.

Because Zhang Tieshan's elder brother was a captain in the Blue Army, he went abroad to fight with the Expeditionary Force in 1941 and went missing in a battle in 1943!

The Blue Army's record says "missing," but anyone with eyes can see it means "killed in action," since there are countless soldiers on the battlefield who are blown to pieces by artillery shells and whose bodies are never found.

However, the Northwest project was of great importance and required careful consideration, so Zhang Tieshan was not sent.

"Boss, here's the thing..."

Zhang Tieshan recounted the entire story without embellishment.

Jiang Yuanfang looked angry and stared at Yang Xingguo.

"Comrade Xingguo, give me an explanation! This cook named Shazhu often tosses the wok for the workers. I don't believe you didn't know!"
