The beginning of Siheyuan starts with refusing to bring lunch boxes

It's true that this white lotus is naturally charming, and her every frown and smile is indeed a bit seductive. No wonder the original owner couldn't resist the temptation and joined the trap, and finally froze to death in the snowy night bridge hole.

However, He Yuzhu at this moment is not the original body. In his previous life, he had watched countless porn movies and had already reached the state of no code in his mind. He was only slightly stunned by this temptation.

Moreover, in He Yuzhu's eyes, Qin Huairu was just so-so in appearance. She was indeed the best in the whole street, but she was still far inferior to the real beauties.

"Sister-in-law of the Jia family, you see, it was Brother Dongxu who was here before, so it was acceptable for me to go a little beyond his authority. But now that you're a new widow, it's inappropriate for me to address you like that. It's not good for you, Brother Dongxu, and the Jia family. Besides, Banggeng is already 8 years old, and it would be even worse for him. Don't you agree?" He Yuzhu's words left Qin Huairu speechless.

"Well, sister-in-law Jia, you are busy, I will go home first." Without giving Qin Huairu a chance, he went home, bang! He closed the door, leaving only the messy white lotus buds in the early spring breeze.

"What's wrong with you today? Why do you feel different than usual? Is it because I am pregnant that my charm has decreased?"

"Qin Huairu! Do you want to starve us to death? Why don't you come back and cook?!"

A roar brought Qin Huairu back to reality, "Hey, Mom, I'll go back and cook after I finish hanging the clothes."

"Qin Huairu, I'm warning you, Dongxu has just left, don't do anything to let the Jia family and Dongxu down, otherwise, I will go to the factory and make a scene, take back our Jia family's workstations, and you will go back to the countryside to carry manure!"

"Mom, what are you talking about? I just wanted to say hello to Sha Zhu and get close to him. An old man said that he would let Sha Zhu bring lunch boxes to our house in the future."

"Really? Will Shazhu bring lunch boxes to our house every day from now on?"

"That's what the uncle said, but I was just talking to Sha Zhu, and he called me Jia's sister-in-law. He used to call me Sister Qin, and it felt strange. Sha Zhu seems to be different from before."

"What's the difference? He's just a fool. He has to bring lunch boxes to our family. He's a dead family with no descendants, and he brings a burden and a money-loser with him. What should he eat? The lunch boxes have to be brought to our family. I'll have to find Master Dongxu to finalize it later."

Qin Huairu heard this and just smiled helplessly, thinking, why should they give the lunch box to their family? But he still hoped that the old man could convince Shazhu.

He's family, back home, He Yuzhu fried some cabbage and heated up the three steamed buns from lunch. Ten minutes later, they had dinner.

Although it was just stir-fried cabbage, the level of a Level 6 chef was there, and he was willing to use more oil. It still floated to the east and west wings.

"Shazhu, this bastard, is really good at cooking. What kind of dish smells so good? It's not a meat dish. It looks like cabbage. Shazhu may look stupid, but he's a really good cook. He can even fry cabbage so well."

Qin Huairu drooled when he smelled the fragrance. The other three households in the courtyard also drooled, praising Sha Zhu's cooking skills.

At this time, the workers of the steel mill were getting off work one after another. Yi Zhonghai returned home and said, "My dear, I'm back. What are we having for dinner today? Whose cooking smells so good?"

An old lady poked her head out, "Zhuzi made braised pork and big white steamed buns for lunch and invited me and the old lady to eat them. There were six pieces of braised pork left, so he asked me to take them back to the old lady to heat up for dinner. The old lady said she would give you two pieces to taste Zhuzi's cooking skills. I also fried some shredded potatoes and will send some to the old lady later. So, we'll have braised pork and shredded potatoes tonight. The aroma is the same as the stir-fried cabbage Zhuzi made at noon. It must be Zhuzi's!"

When Yi Zhonghai heard that Sha Zhu had treated the old lady and his wife to braised pork and big white steamed buns at noon, and that there were a few pieces left for the old lady as dinner, he felt happy. He thought that Sha Zhu was so filial to the elderly, and he would definitely be filial to himself in the future.

"My dear, take out my wine. I want to drink some with the braised pork. I haven't eaten braised pork for a while." Yi Zhonghai said with a smile.

Yi Zhonghai, a level 99 fitter, has a basic salary of 100, plus subsidies, just over per month. This is a high-salary, high-income group. However, he has no children, so he dare not spend money. He always feels that he should save money for retirement.

Therefore, they usually live frugally, and their living standard is only slightly better than Yan Bugui's family.

Half an hour later, Yi Zhonghai finished his meal and said to the aunt, "I'll go to Zhuzi to see if he has recovered from his cold."

"Well, go ahead, Zhuzi looks like he's fine now."

Yi Zhonghai arrived at the door of the He family and saw He Yuzhu had just finished his meal. There were still two pieces of cabbage on the plate and he was drinking water from the enamel pot. "Zhuzi, have you eaten?"

He Yuzhu, who was drinking water and thinking about something, was brought back to reality by the voice. He looked up and saw a middle-aged man with a righteous face coming in. He knew it was Yi Zhonghai.

He Yuzhu looked at Yi Zhonghai and replied, "Hey, uncle, have you eaten? I just finished eating. Come and sit here. I'll pour you some water."

He Yuzhu thought, this Yi Zhonghai is just a good-looking guy, with a righteous face, a flat head, and a neat appearance, which gives people a sense of trust. Who would have thought that such a person would plot his original body to the point of being torn into pieces by wild dogs?

Alas, it is true that it is difficult to draw the bones of a dragon even if you can only draw its skin. You can know a person’s face but not his heart.

"Zhu Zi, I heard from your aunt that you made braised pork for the old lady at noon, and even left some for her for dinner. You only ate stir-fried cabbage at night. Yes, you did it right. The old lady is the ancestor of our courtyard. She has watched you grow up since you were a child and has been very good to you. You should learn to be grateful."

Yi Zhonghai, with a smile on his face, said something that made He Yuzhu feel uncomfortable.

But you still can't find any reason. First, He Yuzhu really felt that the old lady was kind to him, and he was very grateful. Second, the old lady also gave him cotton tickets at noon, so he just smiled and didn't say anything.

"Uncle, is this what you came for?" He Yuzhu asked Yi Zhonghai why he came to see him, but He Yuzhu guessed it was about the lunch box.

Yi Zhonghai looked at He Yuzhu for a few seconds and was about to speak when he noticed that He Yuzhu's house was particularly clean today. He said, "Zhuzi, your house is very clean today. Did someone clean it for you? Could it be your sister Qin?"

When this question was asked, He Yuzhu felt as uncomfortable as if he had eaten a fly.

"Uncle, look at what you are saying. She is the sister-in-law of the Jia family. You can't say she is my sister Qin anymore. This will bring bad reputation to the sister-in-law of the Jia family. Don't you think so? I am a young man and the sister-in-law of the Jia family is a new widow. We are in a melon field and plum field. People's gossip is scary. Uncle, let me say it again. Did I clean up this room today by myself or did Auntie remind me that my room is too dirty and the girl doesn't like me? It is mainly because of this that I decided to change it."

When Yi Zhonghai heard He Yuzhu call Qin Huairu Jia's sister-in-law, he suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

The death of the old man whom he had devoted his heart and soul to raise for ten years made him feel like the sky had fallen. However, after thinking for three days, he came up with a solution, which was to let Qin Huairu marry Sha Zhu.

He felt that Qin Huairu was hardworking, capable, and filial to the elderly. She could serve a wicked mother-in-law like Jia Zhang so well. How wonderful it would be if she could take care of him in his old age.

Sha Zhu has a rude personality, but he obeys me and is also a cook. Although he has a father, he abandoned them. Over the past ten years, I have helped him a lot, and he will be able to provide for me in my old age in the future.

But it's only been one day, why does this silly Zhu want to distance himself from Qin Huairu and the Jia family? No! Absolutely not!

"Zhu Zi, I'm going to say something to you. We are neighbors, how can you think like this? Are you afraid of gossip about your neighbors so you don't talk to them? Calling me sister can lead to gossip? A person of integrity has nothing to fear."

He Yuzhu thought, Old man, don't act like that in front of me. I won't fall for it.

"Master, no matter what you say, I have to call her Jia's sister-in-law. This is the way of life in our city. Do you agree?"

Yi Zhonghai talked for a long time, but He Yuzhu insisted on calling her Jia's sister-in-law. In the end, Yi Zhonghai had no choice but to compromise temporarily and talk about it later.

Chapter 7 Refusing to Bring a Lunch Box

"Zhu Zi, you can call me whatever you want. I came to see you today for another matter."

He Yuzhu thought to himself: Here it comes, the main course is here, but you have your own plan and I have my own way to get around the wall, and I won’t accept your offer, so let’s see what you can do?

"Uncle, what's the matter? Why are you bothering to come here in person?"

"It's like this, Zhuzi. Your brother Dongxu is not leaving? Your sister Qin's family..."

"Sister-in-law of the Jia family!"

"Okay, I'll listen to you, sister-in-law of the Jia family. It's not easy for an orphan and a widow in their family. Although the factory has made arrangements, your sister Qin... sister-in-law of the Jia family is pregnant and needs nutrition. Your aunt Zhang is in that state, and you know it well. So I think you work in the kitchen, and you are the chef now, so, can you bring two lunch boxes from the cafeteria to the Jia family every day? In this way, Qin Huairu can also supplement some nutrition and reduce the burden on the family."

After saying this, Yi Zhonghai looked at He Yuzhu with hope on his face. In Yi Zhonghai's imagination, he had said so much, and this stubborn man should agree immediately.

"That won't do, uncle!"

"Zhu Zi, I knew you were a good guy, and in the future..." Yi Zhonghai had just said halfway when he found that it was different from what he had imagined. This silly Zhu rejected him, and so clearly!

"Zhu Zi, why not? The Jia family is in such a difficult situation, what's wrong with you helping them? The leftover food in the cafeteria is a waste if it's thrown away. You are a chef, you have the ability to bring it back and help the Jia family. Isn't this a convenient thing to do?"

He Yuzhu looked at Yi Zhonghai seriously, "Uncle, I respect you, but you can't cheat me or hurt me!" He Yuzhu raised his voice a notch, which scared Yi Zhonghai. He had never seen Shazhu so serious before.

"Zhu Zi, when did I ever cheat you or harm you?!"

"Uncle! I bring leftovers back from the factory because sometimes there are surpluses. But I am not the only one in the kitchen. We take turns bringing them back. You see, I only ate more once or twice a week before. If I took more, I would be making a mistake. At the very least, I have a problem with my thinking. At the most, I would be misappropriating national resources. I should be punished!"

"Besides, I'm a grown man, and I bring food to a widow every day. What do you think my neighbors and co-workers will think of me? By then, I'll be fired from the factory, or even go to jail or be shot. Even if none of these things happen, will I still be able to find a wife if my reputation is ruined? Don't you think this is cheating me and harming me?!" At this point, He Yuzhu's tone became even higher, and he glared at Yi Zhonghai.

The two of them were talking without closing the door, and He Yuzhu was speaking loudly. Liu Haizhong, the second uncle who was strolling in the middle courtyard after dinner, heard the noise and came over.

"Silly Zhu! How can you talk to your uncle? Is there still respect for the young and the old?"

Liu Haizhong is a person who is addicted to being a poor person. He is full of oil in his stomach, but he has no ink at all. He spends all day thinking about how to be an official.

Liu Haizhong is currently a seventh-level forger in a steel rolling mill. His professional ability is acceptable, but his emotional intelligence is almost zero. Therefore, in his forties, he is still just an ordinary worker and has not even become a team leader.

I finally got a job as the second uncle in the courtyard and finally got a taste of leadership, so I want to put on airs whenever I have time.

If he got angry outside, he would take it out on his two younger sons when he got home, but he never hit the eldest son.

However, according to the original book, the eldest brother Liu Guangqi took his property and went to Zhuangcheng with his wife on the night of his wedding.

The two younger sons, Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu, were beaten for no reason since they were young, so they wanted to grow up quickly and leave this den of evil.

Later, none of the three sons took care of Fatty Liu in his old age, so it was Sha Zhu who took care of him. Thinking of this, He Yuzhu suddenly felt that his predecessor was a fucking idiot!

But He Yuzhu knew that even a piece of trash could be useful if placed in the right place. At this moment, wasn't this piece of trash the best person to confront Yi Zhonghai?

"Second uncle, you are here? Come, give me your opinion on this matter."

Liu Haizhong was very pleased to hear Sha Zhu being so polite to him. He was asked to judge the matter, and Liu Haizhong immediately felt refreshed. "Sha Zhu, you say..."

As soon as Liu Haizhong started to speak, He Yuzhu interrupted him: "Second Uncle, you are the leader of our hospital, the mainstay of our steel rolling mill, and a seventh-level worker. How can you call me Shazhu all the time? I know this is the nickname my father gave me, but I am 24 now, three years older than your Guangqi. If I see Guangqi outside, do you think it is appropriate to call him by his childhood nickname? Guangqi graduated from a technical secondary school, and I heard that he is a leader now..."

Liu Haizhong was interrupted and felt unhappy at first, but after hearing what He Yuzhu said, he was also afraid that He Yuzhu would really go to Liu Guangqi's workplace and call him by a nickname, thus affecting his son's future.

After thinking for a while, he said, "Then I won't call you Shazhu anymore. I'll call you Zhuzi."

"Second uncle, you are wise, thank you"

Being praised, Liu Haizhong also felt comfortable, "By the way, you just asked me to judge for you, what's going on, ah!"

When He Yuzhu heard this, he said, "Second uncle, the first uncle just told me to bring lunch boxes to the Jia family every day in the future. I disagreed and said that this is taking more than I deserve and making a mistake. If I bring lunch boxes to the widow every day, it will affect my reputation. I think the first uncle is cheating me and harming me."

When Yi Zhonghai heard this, he said, "Old Liu, how could I harm Zhuzi? Our courtyard is an excellent courtyard every year. How could we make mistakes when neighbors help each other? What do you think?"

Liu Haizhong was full of ulterior motives. He felt that Yi Zhonghai was right after hearing his words. "Zhu Zi, your uncle is right. You should listen to him more. He has eaten more salt than you have. Besides, he has watched you grow up. How could he harm you?"

He Yuzhu thought, this guy is just a waste, he was fooled by just a few words

"Second Uncle, do you think so?"

"Not bad!" Liu Haizhong said with certainty.

"How about this? I'll pay for the lunch boxes myself, but I'll have Guangqi deliver them to the Jia family every day. Second Master, do you think this is okay?"

When Liu Haizhong heard this, he immediately became angry, "How can this be possible! Our Guangqi wants to be a leader. If he does this, won't his reputation be ruined? What future does he still have?"

As soon as Liu Haizhong said this, the second aunt rushed in, "Lao Liu! Guangqi has something to tell you, come home with me!"

Liu Haizhong also figured out what was going on, and said in coordination with Second Auntie, "Guangqi has something to do? Then I have to go back quickly!"

Yi Zhonghai saw this and felt that there was nothing he could do today, so he said, "Zhu Zi, I won't harm you, think about it carefully, I'm going to go home first." After saying that, he left. The neighbors who were watching the excitement learned about the matter from a few words and kept silent, but they also guessed Yi Zhonghai's thoughts.

Liu Family, "Old Liu, you were used by Yi Zhonghai today!"

"Oh, I've fallen into his trap. Just wait and see how I'll take revenge on you later!"

Yi Zhonghai returned home with a gloomy face. Seeing that her husband looked unhappy, the aunt asked with concern, "Old Yi, what's wrong? Weren't you very happy just now? Did Zhuzi mess around? This shouldn't be the case. Zhuzi cleaned the house today and was ready to find a partner."

When Yi Zhonghai heard what Auntie said, he remembered that it was Auntie who reminded He Yuzhu. So he was very dissatisfied with Auntie and thought she was too talkative. "What do you know as a woman?!"

A lady was scolded and dared not say anything

This woman is a very traditional woman who takes her husband as the leader. She feels guilty for not giving birth to a child for the Yi family, so she always indulges Yi Zhonghai.

Moreover, she knew more or less what Yi Zhonghai was thinking, and it was also for the sake of her and her husband's retirement.

Yi Zhonghai looked through the window at the Jia family across the street and saw Qin Huairu doing housework with a big belly. Yi Zhonghai thought, "How nice is Qin Huairu. She will be perfect for us to take care of in our old age."
