Siheyuan: Sap is the last word

Chapter 1025 He cleaned the stove in no time and re-lit the fire, and the stove soon started burning.

"Okay." He Yudong brushed the dust off his hands.

Jia Zhang watched from the side, with a smile on her face: "Shazhu, you are such a good boy, if you have any problems in the future, just come to me!"

He Yudong sneered in his heart. This Jia Zhang changed her expression faster than turning the pages of a book. She was mocking him a few days ago, but now she has turned into a "good girl". She is so hypocritical.

He ignored Jia Zhang and turned away.

"Hey, Shazhu, wait a minute!" Jia Zhang called him.

He Yudong turned around impatiently: "What else?"

Jia Zhang rubbed her hands and said flatteringly: "Silly Zhu, my son Bang Geng has been sick for so long, and there is nothing delicious to nourish his body. Can you..."

He Yudong interrupted her before she finished speaking: "Aunt Jia, what are you talking about? I am a level 5 fitter. Although my salary has increased, it is only enough for me to eat and drink. There is nothing delicious to eat."

When Jia Zhang heard this, her expression changed immediately. She said in a sarcastic tone, "Oh, Silly Zhu, now that you've been promoted and become powerful, you don't even care about my Bang Geng anymore?"

He Yudong sneered: "Aunt Jia, you are wrongly accusing me. When have I ever taken care of Bang Geng? If he is sick, you should go to the doctor instead of coming to me."

After saying that, He Yudong left the Jia family without looking back.

In the next few days, He Yudong's life was relatively peaceful. Apart from going to get off work and coming home every day, he practiced his locksmith skills.

He discovered that the spiritual spring water not only enhanced his physical strength and energy, but also improved his learning ability and comprehension.

He began to try some more difficult benchwork techniques, such as processing precision parts, assembling complex machinery, etc.

He made rapid progress and soon mastered these techniques. He was even able to draw inferences from them and create some new skills.

His skills became more and more sophisticated, and his fame in the factory grew, and some people even began to call him "Engineer He."

On this day, the factory suddenly received an urgent task, which required processing a batch of precision parts for the research and development of national key projects.

This batch of parts is extremely difficult to process, and only a few senior fitters in the factory are capable of doing the job.

However, these senior fitters all have other tasks to do and cannot spare the time.

Just when the factory leaders were at a loss, someone mentioned He Yudong.

"Although Mr. He is young, his skills have reached the standard of a senior fitter. Why not let him have a try?"

The factory leaders hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to let He Yudong give it a try.

After receiving the task, He Yudong did not feel nervous at all, but was full of excitement.

He locked himself in the workshop and began to process parts without sleep or food.

Time passed minute by minute, and beads of sweat appeared on He Yudong's forehead, but the movements of his hands did not stop at all.

He seemed to have entered a state of ecstasy, with only the parts and drawings in his hands in his eyes.

Finally, after three days and three nights of hard work, He Yudong completed the processing of all parts.

When he walked out of the workshop, he looked exhausted, but there was a bright smile on his face.

He succeeded!

Not only did he complete the task, he also created a miracle!

The factory leaders and fellow workers all looked at him with admiration and praised him as the factory's "technical genius."

He Yudong's reputation spread throughout the factory and even to other factories and units.

Some units began to extend olive branches to him, hoping that he would switch to work in their units.

Some people even suggested recommending him to participate in a national-level benchwork competition.

He Yudong suddenly became the focus of everyone's attention, and his future was full of infinite possibilities.

However, at this moment, something unexpected happened...

The knock on the door was very light, as if he was afraid of disturbing the sleeping person. He Yudong was a little impatient. Who is it in the middle of the night?

He put on his clothes, opened the door, and saw a slim woman standing outside. In the dim moonlight, he recognized her as Qin Huairu.

"Sister Qin, it's so late, is there anything wrong?" He Yudong rubbed his sleepy eyes, with a hint of displeasure in his tone.

Qin Huairu lowered her head, twisted the corner of her clothes, and whispered: "Silly Zhu, I... I have something to ask you..."

He Yudong sneered in his heart, knowing that this woman had no good intentions and was definitely here to ask for money or things. He deliberately yawned and said, "Sister Qin, let's talk about it tomorrow. I'm sleepy."

Saying that, he was about to close the door.

Seeing this, Qin Huairu quickly stretched out her hand to block it and begged, "Silly Zhu, please, just help me, I... I really have no other choice..."

He Yudong looked at her tearful face and felt a little shaken. Although this woman loved to take advantage of others, she was a widow after all, and it was not easy for her to raise three children.

"What's the matter? Tell me." He Yudong sighed and said helplessly.

Qin Huairu then raised her head, looked at him pitifully, and said, "Shazhu, I...I want to borrow some money..."

"Borrow money?" He Yudong raised his eyebrows. "How much?"

"One hundred...one hundred yuan..." Qin Huairu said cautiously, fearing that He Yudong would refuse.

One hundred yuan! This is not a small amount, equivalent to He Yudong's two months' salary.

"Sister Qin, why are you borrowing so much money?" He Yudong asked with a frown.

Qin Huairu bit her lip, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "I...I want to buy some nutritional supplements for Banggeng. He...he has always been in poor health..."

He Yudong sneered in his heart. It would be strange if Jia Zhang could keep the stalks healthy since she was lazy and ate all day long.

"Sister Qin, tell me the truth, was this money given to Jia Zhang again?" He Yudong stared into Qin Huairu's eyes and asked in a serious tone.

Qin Huairu's eyes flickered. She didn't dare to look him in the eye. She stammered, "No...no..."

He Yudong knew at first glance that she was lying and became even more impatient.

"Sister Qin, if you tell the truth, I might be able to help you think of a solution. If you lie to me, don't blame me for being rude." He Yudong said in a cold tone.

Qin Huairu saw that she couldn't hide it anymore, so she had to say with a sad face: "Shazhu, I...I have no choice, my mother-in-law...she insisted that I give her the money, saying that she wanted to...buy medicine..."

"Buy medicine? I think she wants to buy some wine!" He Yudong ruthlessly exposed her lie.

Qin Huairu lowered her head and dared not speak.

He Yudong looked at her cowardly appearance and felt angry and helpless.

"Okay, stop crying. I can lend you the money, but you have to agree to one condition of mine." He Yudong said.

Qin Huairu raised her head when she heard it, a glimmer of hope flashed in her eyes, "What are the conditions?"

"Don't come here with Jia Zhang to ask for money from me anymore. Do you hear me?" He Yudong said in a firm tone.

Qin Huairu hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded, "I...I promise you."

He Yudong then took out a hundred yuan from his pocket and handed it to her.

Qin Huairu took the money and said with tears of gratitude: "Thank you, Shazhu, you are such a good person..."

He Yudong waved his hand, "Okay, go back."

After Qin Huairu left, He Yudong closed the door and went back to bed, but he couldn't fall asleep.

He looked at the watch on his wrist with mixed feelings.

After his rebirth, he wanted to live a peaceful life, but he was always entangled in these trivial matters.

He suddenly remembered that there was a bottle of monkey wine in the Lingquan space. He accidentally found it in the mountain last time. It is said that drinking it can strengthen the body and prolong life.

He got up and went to the kitchen, took out monkey wine from the space, opened the bottle cap, and a rich aroma of wine wafted into his nose.

He poured a small cup and drank it in one gulp. He immediately felt a warm current flowing through his body, and he felt indescribably comfortable.

He lay on the bed, feeling the changes in his body, a smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

It seems that this rebirth is not all bad...

The next morning, when He Yudong got up, he felt refreshed and full of strength.

He came to the yard and saw Jia Zhang sitting at the door eating melon seeds, looking leisurely and comfortable.

Seeing He Yudong, Jia Zhang said sarcastically, "Hey, Silly Zhu, you got up so early, are you going to give warmth to some widow again?"

He Yudong didn't bother to pay attention to her and went straight to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.

Suddenly, he heard a noise coming from the yard.

When he walked out, he saw Xu Damao and Sha Zhu fighting with each other. Both of them had bruises on their faces and their clothes were torn.

"What's going on?" He Yudong asked with a frown.

"This bastard peeked at me taking a bath!" Xu Damao pointed at Sha Zhu and said angrily.

"Bullshit! When did I ever peek at you taking a bath?" Sha Zhu retorted without showing any weakness.

"I saw it with my own eyes! You still want to deny it!" Xu Damao said, and was about to rush up to hit Sha Zhu again.

He Yudong quickly stopped him, "Alright, stop arguing! Explain what's going on!"

At this time, a disheveled woman ran out of Sha Zhu's house. It was Qin Huairu.

Seeing this scene, He Yudong was stunned...

The knock on the door was very light, as if he was afraid of disturbing the sleeping person. He Yudong was a little impatient. Who is it in the middle of the night?

He put on his clothes, opened the door, and saw Qin Huairu standing outside with a bowl of steaming chicken soup in her hand.

"Silly Zhu, you haven't slept yet?" Qin Huairu had a shy smile on her face.

He Yudong was stunned for a moment. This widow brought him chicken soup in the middle of the night. What was she up to?

"Is there something?" He Yudong asked in a cold tone.

Qin Huairu bit her lip and whispered, "Shazhu, I...I heard from Banggeng that you have been promoted to level 5 fitter. Congratulations!"

"No need for you to congratulate me." He Yudong remained cold.

Qin Huairu looked a little embarrassed. She handed the chicken soup in her hand forward and said, "This is the chicken soup I...I specially stewed for you. You...you need to nourish your body."

He Yudong looked at the bowl of chicken soup and sneered in his heart. This widow was being so attentive for no reason. She must be a traitor or a thief. He had not forgotten how Jia Zhang had tried to get benefits from him some time ago.

"No, I don't like chicken soup." He Yudong refused bluntly.

The smile on Qin Huairu's face froze. She didn't expect He Yudong to be so disrespectful to her.

"Shazhu, you...what's wrong with you? You weren't like this before..." There was a hint of grievance in Qin Huairu's voice.

He Yudong sneered in his heart, before? I was stupid before, I didn't know how to resist after being sucked dry by your family of vampires. Now I am reborn, I am not the stupid Zhu before!

"The past is the past, and the present is the present." He Yudong said firmly, "Qin Huairu, if you have anything to say, just tell me directly, don't beat around the bush."

Qin Huairu's eyes were red, tears welling up in her eyes: "Silly Zhu, I...I really came here to congratulate you...I...I don't have any other intentions..."

As he spoke, tears began to fall.
