The Dream Fulfillment Master in the Courtyard

"Mom, this isn't appropriate!"

Upon hearing Jia Zhangshi's words, Qin Huairu's expression immediately turned ugly.

She stared at Jia Zhangshi in astonishment, and strongly rejected what Jia Zhangshi was saying.

She's a young married woman, going in and out of a single man's house, cleaning, washing clothes, and folding bedding for him. What kind of behavior is that? She's not working as someone's maid.

"Why isn't it suitable?"

"Besides, he's an idiot, what does he know?"

"When Dongxu comes back, have him tell Lao Yi that we'll take over this job. It won't cost more than ten yuan a month!"

"Huai Ru, this is ten yuan!"

"Think about it carefully!"

"Let me tell you, if you don't make this money, everyone else in the hospital will be scrambling to do it!"

"Speaking of which, Old Yi is really cunning!"

Jia Zhangshi started talking about Yi Zhonghai again.

Qin Huairu, however, was in no mood to listen to Jia Zhangshi's ramblings.

Ten yuan a month!

Isn't this too much?

Also, is she, a young married woman, really suitable for this job?

Qin Huairu was unsure of what to do.

Remembering what Jia Zhangshi said about waiting for Dongxu to return, Qin Huairu decided to stop thinking about it and discuss it with Jia Dongxu when he returned that evening.

……

Shen Zhiyu had no idea that he had become a hot commodity in the eyes of everyone in the courtyard. After he had eaten his fill and felt much warmer, he began to look around the side room where he was staying.

The room contained only a kang (a heated brick bed), and the furniture consisted of a cabinet, a table, and two broken benches.

The windows still have the old-fashioned window frames.

It's just a bunch of wooden planks crisscrossing each other, with several layers of paper pasted on top.

Therefore, the lighting in the room was really poor.

It's said in novels that every time traveler has a cheat code, so what is my cheat code?

"space?"

Shen Zhiyu muttered to herself, reached out onto the table, and silently said "Collect".

It was just a pose, but when the table actually disappeared, Shen Zhiyu almost jumped up in fright.

"Oh, my ancestors!"

"There really is space!"

Shen Zhiyu felt that her ancestors still loved her.

Even without any other cheat codes, just having this space is enough.

Space!

Amazing!

Shen Zhiyu tried collecting the items one after another, and finally stopped, satisfied.

We've got the cheat code.

Once his mind gradually returns to normal and he goes back to work at the steel mill, his life will naturally improve.

Cool!

Feeling cheerful, Shen Zhiyu decided to take a nap.

I barely slept last night, it was just too cold!

Now that she was full and warm, Shen Zhiyu felt she could fall asleep.

He climbed onto the kang (a heated brick bed), crawled into the dirty and tattered quilt, and quickly fell asleep.

That was such a wonderful sleep!

In his dream, he used the space to buy and sell, becoming one of the first to get rich. Then, standing at the forefront of the trend, he took off, becoming incredibly wealthy and surrounded by wives and concubines!

"Hehe, hehe..."

Shen Zhiyu eventually woke up from her beautiful dream.

I don't know how long I slept, but when I got out of bed and opened the door, wow, the sun was already setting!

Oh, right, the sun sets early during the daytime in winter!

and many more!

I slept from morning until it was almost dark, so I didn't even eat lunch!

At this moment, Shen Zhiyu felt a bit resentful.

The factory put me in a courtyard house, and for half a day they didn't even provide me with three basic meals a day. That's going too far!

But anger aside!

He needs to take care of his physical needs first; he needs to relieve himself.

Stunned, Shen Zhiyu walked out of the courtyard and found the public toilet.

Sure enough, it has to be the young ones, full of energy, they can pee three feet deep even against the wind!

Looking at the ink wash landscape painting on the wall, Shen Zhiyu shivered. Damn, this northern winter is really cold.

The thought of having to squat in the toilet in the dead of winter makes my bottom feel cold immediately, especially if someone throws a few firecrackers in...

Damn, that was truly a memorable era!

After leaving the public restroom, Shen Zhiyu washed her hands at the tap outside before returning to the courtyard.

As soon as I arrived at the entrance of the courtyard house, I spotted the familiar glasses.

Yan Bugui!

The abacus expert, known for his salty taste, would even try the salty drink when a manure cart passed by the courtyard!

"Xiao Shen, where have you been?"

"You can't run around like that!"

"You should let the people in the compound know where you're going. Last time we spent most of the night looking for you!"

Listening to Yan Bugui's rambling, Shen Zhiyu glanced at him and said, "Shh!"

Upon hearing this, Yan Bugui immediately fell silent.

Shen Zhiyu entered the courtyard and headed towards Sha Zhu's house.

Even though she knew the door was locked, Shen Zhiyu kept banging on it, calling out "Dinner" as she did so.

This immediately alarmed almost everyone in the Intermediate People's Court.

An older woman was the first to greet him: "Xiao Shen, your food is here. I saw you were taking a nap at noon, so I didn't wake you. Your lunch is over here; I've kept it warm in the pot for you!"

"Thanks!"

Shen Zhiyu turned around and went to the door of the east wing, where she politely thanked him.

The older woman didn't let Shen Zhiyu in. Instead, she brought out food from inside the house: a steamed bun made from two kinds of dough and a bowl of cabbage and tofu. The portion was quite generous!

Shen Zhiyu was also hungry, so she ate very quickly, wolfing it down.

After he finished eating, the older woman took the bowls and chopsticks to the tap and washed them clean.

Shen Zhiyu watched her until she finished washing the dishes and returned before heading towards the side room.

He has to maintain the image of a fool for a while longer, and try to learn as much information as possible.

Moreover, being a fool at least saves you the trouble of cooking and washing dishes.

……

About an hour later, the people who went to work in the courtyard returned.

Hearing the commotion, Shen Zhiyu also came out of the house and stood at the door looking at the people in the yard.

Sha Zhu didn't come back.

As the head chef in charge of hospitality at the steel rolling mill, Sha Zhu's get off work hours are not fixed, especially after get off work. If there is a hospitality meal, he usually has to work overtime.

Given the situation today, there's probably some hospitality involved.

Perhaps because everyone thought he was a fool, they didn't keep many things from him.

Therefore, Shen Zhiyu heard about many schemes, all of which were aimed at him.

For example, Jia Dongxu approached Yi Zhonghai, saying he wanted to take over the work of cleaning his house, doing laundry, and folding blankets for him, and he would only pay ten yuan a month.

"You bastard, you're really not greedy!"

When Shen Zhiyu heard Jia Dongxu and Yi Zhonghai's offer, she was truly shocked by the greed of the Jia family mother and son!

With such a huge appetite, aren't you afraid of stuffing yourself to death?

However, Yi Zhonghai refused.

"Dongxu, one shouldn't be too greedy!"

"Everyone in the courtyard knows what's going on in Xiao Shen's room."

"If you ask for ten yuan, you'll be drowned in spit. If word gets back to the factory, you'll be in big trouble!"

Hearing Yi Zhonghai's words, Shen Zhiyu laughed. As expected, birds of a feather flock together. Yi Zhonghai, this hypocrite, is truly a hypocrite!
