Love in the Courtyard: Starting with Engineers

Seeing that Li Yu had returned so early, Bai Ling quickly asked:

"Why are you back so early today?"

"I resigned, so I came back early."

Upon hearing this, Bai Ling immediately asked anxiously, "Why did you resign?"

"It's okay! Just consider it a rest."

Li Yu said indifferently.

Seeing that Li Yu didn't seem to be in a hurry, Bai Ling decided not to ask any more questions.

Because she knew that Li Yu's resignation was only temporary, she thought it was good to take a break now.

The steel mill was in an uproar shortly after Li Yu left.

Upon hearing the news, Li Huaide immediately called his father-in-law.

When the other party heard the news, instead of being anxious, they happily said, "Your chance has come!"

Li Huaide suddenly felt a bit confused and asked with a puzzled look, "What do you mean?"

"The reason why the ministry didn't take care of Li Yu's research workshop before was partly due to Zheng Qiushi's father's connections, but more importantly, the ministry is currently preparing a new factory for Li Yu."

"But I never expected that idiot Zheng Qiushi would actually fire Li Yu."

"The machine tool department originally planned to send it to the Northwest after Li Yu successfully completed his research."

"Now, that idiot Zheng Qiushi has not only delayed the development of machine tools, but more importantly, he has also delayed the plans for the Great Northwest."

Li Huaide knew immediately that Zheng Qiushi was probably going to be in trouble this time.

"Dad, what exactly are they doing in the Northwest?"

"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask!"

After he finished speaking, Li Huaide only heard a "beep beep beep" sound coming from the receiver.

That evening, while Bai Ling and Li Yu were having dinner at home, the courtyard suddenly became noisy.

In the courtyard, the three hospitalized patients returned to the traditional courtyard house.

As soon as they entered the courtyard, they were surrounded by the people inside.

Everyone looked at Sha Zhu and Liu Haizhong's bandaged arms.

"I heard that Sha Zhu and Second Uncle lost their right hands, I didn't expect it to be true."

"This is too tragic."

"I heard that Xu Damao has also lost sight in one eye."

"I wonder who I offended."

"Who knows? The police haven't found any clues."

Hearing the murmurs of the crowd, the group wished they could rush into Li Yu's house right now and tear him apart.

The three men, their faces grim, pushed past the crowd and went home.

Looking at his father's crippled hand, Liu Guangqi felt a mix of emotions.

Yesterday, his girlfriend made it clear to him that he was willing to get married, but only if he went to the south with her.

Because her father was transferred to the south, her whole family had to go.

Seeing Liu Haizhong like this, he doesn't know whether he should go or not.

Just as he was hesitating, Liu Haizhong looked at Liu Guangqi in front of him and felt a surge of anger.

Why are you, who went to high school, not as good as the Li family's kid?

The angrier he got, the more he raised his hand and slapped Liu Guangqi across the face.

"What good are you! You went to high school and you're still not as good as that Li kid!"

Liu Guangqi looked at Liu Haizhong in shock.

"You actually hit me!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Liu Haizhong slapped him again.

"So what if I hit you! Can't I hit my son?!"

Liu Guangqi glared at Liu Haizhong resentfully and said, "Fine! You'll regret this!"

After saying that, he pushed open the door and ran away.

"What's wrong, my dear husband?"

"No matter what, you can't take it out on your son."

As Liu Haizhong watched Liu Guangqi run away, a sudden thought of regret flashed through his mind.

But he still ignored the second aunt.

Xu Damao returned home and immediately lay down on the bed. Qin Jingru looked at Xu Damao and felt that although Xu Damao was seriously injured.

However, compared to Liu Haizhong and Sha Zhu, it ultimately doesn't affect their normal work schedules.

The three men who returned to the steel rolling mill the next day heard that Li Yu had been fired.

Suddenly, I felt that my injury wasn't so serious anymore.

When Liu Haizhong arrived at the workshop, the workshop director called him over.

"Old Liu, given your condition, you can't do the blacksmithing work anymore."

"The factory has assigned you a new position; you'll be working in the cleaning department."

Liu Haizhong wanted to say something in his defense, but he opened his mouth and couldn't say anything.

He glanced at his workstation reluctantly before heading to the cleaning department.

As soon as Liu Haizhong arrived, he saw Sha Zhu holding a broom.

"You've been sent down here too?"

Sha Zhu said indignantly, "Hmph! That Liu Dayou is just using his position to settle personal scores!"

"There will be times when they beg me!"

Liu Haizhong looked at Sha Zhu as if he were looking at a complete idiot.

"You've already come to clean, and you expect others to beg you?"

"Could you please sweep the floor a little cleaner?"

Liu Haizhong shook his head, sighed, and then went to report to his team leader.

When he returned to the courtyard that evening, an official from the neighborhood committee came and removed Liu Haizhong from his post as the caretaker.

The reason given was concern about his current physical condition; despite Liu Haizhong's repeated assurances, he was still dismissed.

Now Yan Bugui has become the only steward of the courtyard house.

He even enjoyed a nice drink at home for this.

Li Yu received a letter today, sent by Lou Zhenhua.

Besides the letter, there was also a HSBC bank deposit slip inside.

The letter said that production had already begun, but they were now facing extortion from the local gang.

Therefore, the situation is quite serious.

Bai Ling also saw the letter and the deposit slip.

Li Yu told Bai Ling about his previous collaboration with Lou Zhenhua.

"I'm planning a trip to Hong Kong, would you like to come along?"

"Wherever you go, I'll go."

The next day, Li Yu and Bai Ling arrived at the Bai family home.

Li Yu told Bai's parents about his resignation.

Although they expressed their anger, they also knew that Zheng Qiushi would be in trouble later, so there was no need to take action now.

Then the two of them talked about going to Hong Kong.

That same day, Bai's father obtained the necessary documents for the two men, so they no longer needed to smuggle themselves across the border like the Liu brothers.

On the third day, the two boarded a train to Guangdong, and after arriving in Guangdong, they transferred to a ship to Hong Kong.

Just two days after Li Yu left, Yan Jiefang received a letter from Liu Guangtian.

The letter described the prosperity of Hong Kong and the income the two brothers earned there.

Yan Jiefang was thrilled by what he saw and wanted to follow the Liu brothers' example and go to Hong Kong.

As a result, Yan Bugui found out about it that very night.

Yan Bugui beat Yan Jiefang into the hospital that same day, where doctors diagnosed him with a broken leg.

This is really daring to interrupt someone's errand.

After what happened to Yan Jiefang, Yan Bugui still gritted his teeth and spent seven hundred yuan to buy Yan Jiekuang a job at the machine repair factory.

He made Yan Jiekuang pay back ten yuan every month, plus five yuan for living expenses and one yuan for interest.

Although Yan Jiekuang was very dissatisfied with this, he gritted his teeth and agreed for the sake of his job.

Seven days later, Li Yu and Bai Ling disembarked.

Bai Ling looked at the bustling port and the fashionable crowds, feeling a little shocked.

Li Yu took Bai Ling to HSBC to withdraw money and then took a taxi to the Kowloon Peninsula Hotel.

Upon arriving at the hotel room, Bai Ling was stunned by the luxurious suite before her, with Western paintings framed in gold hanging on the pristine white walls.

A dark red carpet was laid on the floor, and a carved pear wood bed stood by the window, with white curtains hanging down from it.

"I never imagined that these capitalists knew how to enjoy themselves so much."

"Hahaha! You'll enjoy it here," Li Yu said, pulling Bai Ling into the bathroom.
