I painted an aircraft carrier on the courtyard house for Dongda University.

He Yuzhu was so anxious that he stammered, "That day... when Qin Huairu fell, I went to help her up. There was a new kitchen helper, a chubby guy, who had come to the storeroom to get ingredients. Qin Huairu had just fallen, and I caught her, but something tripped my foot, and then I knocked her down. The chubby guy came in just in time to see it, and then Qin Huairu cried and dragged the chubby guy to tell on her."

As Zhou Weiguo listened to the plot, the more he thought about it, the more suspicious it seemed. This whole scheme was clearly a trap. Looking at He Yuzhu's expression, he cursed inwardly: This guy is a complete idiot, no, even a pig is smarter than him.

He then asked, "So why were you the only one who got away scot-free in the end? Li Huaide got into trouble because of you, but how were you treated?"

He Yuzhu said with a long face, "I wasn't really punished, just a warning and some money. But then a new canteen manager was parachuted in, and he scattered my fellow apprentices and assigned them to other canteens. Now, only my master, my master's wife, and Ersheng are left in the second canteen."

Hearing this, Zhou Weiguo became even more certain that someone was targeting the steel rolling mill.

It's understandable. The steel rolling mill used to be just a division-level unit, but in just six months it was promoted from division-level to department-level. It's normal for it to be targeted.

He thought about it for a long time and realized that the Wu family might be the ones who had a grudge against him. He would have to find out if they were after him or if they were just targeting the steel mill.

He shook his head, clearing his mind of the jumbled thoughts, and then looked at He Yuzhu, asking, "Have you given Qin Huairu any money recently?"

Upon hearing this, He Yuzhu was shocked. Before he could speak, Yu Li hurriedly said, "No, no, Uncle, Zhuzi only gives Qin Huairu some food and vegetables at most. I have never seen Zhuzi give her any money, otherwise I would have made a scene with her long ago."

Suddenly, Zhou Weiguo thought of something and turned to look at Yu Li: "Yu Li, do you often hang out with Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong, and Yan Fugui's wife?"

Hearing this, Yu Li didn't seem surprised, but said with a hint of grievance, "Uncle, well... Aunt usually keeps the gate closed and doesn't come out, so it's not very convenient for me to chat with her. Especially after Aunt got pregnant, she just locks the gate when she comes back. Plus, we eat separately, and I usually get off work early, so I chat with them while I'm preparing the food."

Zhou Weiguo felt somewhat uncomfortable upon hearing this.

Before he could even speak, Tian Zao said with a displeased look, "Yu Li, that's not very interesting. Why are we closing the gate? Don't we have a water tap in our courtyard? You went to the middle courtyard to join in the fun with others, and why are we eating separately? Don't you know? You clearly know Natasha is pregnant, but you keep making those big slices of meat, how can she stand it?"

Yu Li shrank back and explained, "Auntie, I... I was just bored and wanted to talk to someone. It's not that I want to cook meat dishes every meal; Zhu Zi and Yu Shui both like them."

"Alright, alright, shut up." Zhou Weiguo couldn't stand it anymore and interrupted.

He glanced at Yu Li, and for some reason felt a pang of regret.

When I was looking for a partner for Zhu Zi, I really should have found a woman who was decisive and could completely control him. This Yu Li, although she's a bit clever, is clearly not very intelligent or emotionally intelligent, and she also has that typical female tendency to show off.

With the added brainwashing from the other people in the courtyard, especially Yi Zhonghai, things became even more chaotic.

How could a normal woman allow her man to give away her family's food and delicacies to a widow? After all, it would be so unpleasant for such a thing to get out.

After thinking for a long time, Zhou Weiguo finally came up with a good idea: find a way to bring He Daqing and Liang Ladi back as soon as possible. Once these two are back, He Yuzhu won't have to worry about him anymore. Yes, that's what we'll do!

Now that he had made up his mind, Zhou Weiguo stopped dwelling on it and waved his hand, saying, "Alright, alright, let's not talk about this anymore. We'll discuss these things later. Natasha, continue. You've only said half of it."

Natasha shrugged and continued, "Actually, it's nothing. Our workshops have been very stable, but I think it's all because of the security guards. Otherwise, we probably would have been in trouble."

I heard that the steel rolling mill has undergone a major personnel reshuffle, and it seems that a new tractor and motorcycle workshop has been built, and mass production of tractors and motorcycles has already begun, although the output doesn't seem to be very good yet.

By the way, Yi Zhonghai, who was sentenced to three years, was originally undergoing labor reform in the factory, doing hard labor in the foundry workshop. The newly arrived factory director, Liu, heard about Yi Zhonghai's fitter skills from someone, and then organized people to assess him. In the end, he said that Yi Zhonghai had the ability of an eighth-grade worker. He said that in order to make Yi Zhonghai's labor reform more meaningful, so he transferred him back to the fitter workshop and even allowed him to go home every day.

Yi Zhonghai is the same as before, except he doesn't get a salary... Oh wait, he does get a salary; Factory Director Liu approved a monthly subsidy of 18 yuan. I even heard a couple of days ago that Factory Director Liu said Yi Zhonghai has behaved very well and is even applying for a reduced sentence.

Zhou Weiguo was stunned. How could he have changed so much in just over two months?

"Is there anything else?"

Natasha rolled her eyes at him and continued, "Yes, there is. By the way, Director Wang of our neighborhood office and Chief Li of the police station have both been promoted before the New Year. The new police station chief is a fat guy, I don't know his name, and the new neighborhood office director is also surnamed Wang, named Wang Hongxia. But strangely enough, these two people went to the deaf old lady's house in the backyard one after another a few days after taking office."

"hiss."

This startled Zhou Weiguo. So, it was this king and that king all along? Could this really be the real King Gai? Had he made a mistake all along? Thinking this, he continued, "Is there anything else?"

Natasha thought for a moment: "Well, does Liu Haizhong becoming a group leader count? Do the two new households moving into the courtyard count? And does the team of exceptionally skilled soldiers moving into the north courtyard count?..."

After listening to Natasha talk for a while, Zhou Weiguo couldn't help but rub his head, thinking to himself: Damn, so much has happened in just over two months!

After sighing, he lowered his head and realized that He Yuzhu, who had been kneeling on the ground, was gone.

Turning around, I saw that this guy was already kneeling and walking out, almost to the door.

Zhou Weiguo thought to himself, "It's better to make He Yuzhu suffer from pain all over his body than to suffer from a headache myself."

He picked up his belt and grabbed He Yuzhu by the collar.

He picked up He Yuzhu and headed straight for the Intermediate People's Court. He Yuzhu was filled with fear, like a little chick being dragged along by Zhou Weiguo, not daring to move.

When they reached the gate of the courtyard, Zhou Weiguo seemed to suddenly remember something, turned around and shouted, "Tian Zao, go and get me the hemp rope from the storeroom. I'm going to teach this ungrateful brat a lesson today."

P.S.: Please urge me to update more and give me good reviews. Thank you!
