Siheyuan: My wife is Xu Huizhen

Xu Wude was scared. Life in there was really hard. Not only was the work tiring, but he was also bullied by other prisoners.

Just like Jia Dongxu before, because he had delicate skin and tender flesh, he was taken as a wife by others in prison.

Fortunately, Xu Wood was too old and did not suffer such treatment.

After talking about prison matters for a while, they inevitably talked about the grudge between him and Yi Zhonghai.

Xu Wude said: "In fact, Yi Zhonghai has visited me in prison in the past two years, trying to resolve the conflict, but it is not that easy."

Xu Wude was full of resentment when talking about Yi Zhonghai. It was all his fault. He reported him and brought shame upon himself.

He just beat him up to vent his anger, and then robbed some of his things to make up for the loss. He didn't expect that the damn Yi Zhonghai would call the police and put him in jail.

He Yuzhu said: "It's all over now. You should move on. You also said that you can't do anything illegal."

"Yeah, I will never do anything illegal again. Prison is not a place for people to stay."

Xu Wude didn't want to go to jail again, and felt that beating Yi Zhonghai would be too light a punishment.

Xu Wude wanted Yi Zhonghai to die, but he had no idea how to deal with Yi Zhonghai.

He Yuzhu just gave a few words of advice and didn't say much. He didn't like Yi Zhonghai and hated the fact that he had planned He Yuzhu's life so closely and ended up freezing to death in the bridge hole.

Xu Wude himself is not a good person either. He had plotted against me before and wanted me to be his son-in-law. Fortunately, I managed to escape.

Otherwise, he would not have introduced Xu Zhaodi to He Yongqiang. Not only did he let Zhaodi give birth to his child, but he also teased Xu Xiaomei.

However, in recent years, as He Yuzhu has more and more children, he has focused more on his children and rarely gets involved in the affairs of the courtyard.

Inviting Xu Wude to dinner is also a tradition. After all, he is the grandfather of himself and Zhaodi's children, so give him face.

In the next few days, He Yuzhu continued to stay in the machinery factory. In addition to studying machine tools, he began to study steelmaking.

When He Yuzhu expressed this idea, Li Hongying was stunned.

"Why do you want to make iron at this time?"

"Isn't this about producing the raw materials ourselves?"

Since he is willing to do it, I have no choice but to agree.

"Okay, then we will build another iron smelting workshop in our street, also under the name of the machinery factory."

Li Hongying would hardly object to what He Yuzhu proposed, because the cannery and the machinery factory solved the employment problem in the street.

When the cannery was at its peak, there were only about 100 people working there. The machinery factory employed more people than the cannery.

There are more than 300 skilled workers alone, plus other supporting personnel. Now there are no ordinary people waiting for jobs on the streets.

This also made Li Hongying's work much easier. Unlike other streets, she didn't have to rack her brains every day to solve employment problems.

Li Hongying then asked: "Now the machinery factory is under your management. Old Shen is just a figurehead. I'm wondering if we should ask Old Shen to stop serving as the factory director and let you take over as the factory director instead?"

He Yuzhu quickly shook his head: "I think the current situation is good, let Lao Shen be the factory director, and I will just be the director of the office."

He Yuzhu is currently the director of the machinery factory and also the head of the technical department and the head of the sales department.

But in fact, He Yuzhu is now almost in charge of the entire machinery factory.

Li Hongying planned to let He Yuzhu become the top leader, so that it would be justified to say so.

But He Yuzhu was determined to resign this position.

"Okay, since you insist you don't want to be the factory manager, let's talk about it later."

He Yuzhu said: "Then you can contact the material recycling company, and we will buy all the scrap copper and iron they receive."

"Okay, no problem, it's just a small matter."

As the street director, Li Hongying is also the best performing director in the fifth district and is very capable in the district.

After He Yuzhu and Li Hongying finished discussing this matter, they rode their bicycles to the heavy machinery factory.

"You want to buy a small blast furnace?" Tong Zhi was also very surprised.

He Yuzhu repeated his reasons again.

Tong Zhi said: "That's true, but don't you have any skilled workers?"

"Isn't this matter simple? Is there anyone here who knows how to do it?"

Tong Zhi shook his head and said, "We know how to make it, but we don't make steel ourselves!"

"Well, I'll go find the steel mill."

As a steel rolling mill specializing in smelting steel, it is easy for them to train a technician and then instruct and teach a few apprentices.

To be honest, there is no need for any technical skills to smelt steel using a blast furnace. You just need to know how to operate it.

"Okay, how many sets do you want?"

"Two sets first, then two more."

"Okay, I'll take you to the sales department."

Tong Zhi followed Tong Zhi to the sales department, and the two sides also cooperated, and He Yuzhu got a more favorable price.

After finishing the blast furnace, He Yuzhu returned to the office and called Secretary Zhang from the steel rolling mill.

"Master He, you are stealing our steel mill's business!" Secretary Zhang said with a smile.

He Yuzhu chuckled. He was indeed trying to steal the steel mill's business. If he produced more, he could reduce the share of purchases from the steel mill.

"Just tell me whether you want to teach or not!"

Secretary Zhang said helplessly: "Why don't I send someone to you?"

He Yuzhu said: "Thank you, Secretary Zhang. I will treat you to a meal later."

"You've said that eight times."

"Are there so many?"

He Yuzhu thought about it and realized that he had said this several times before, so he said, "How about we get together tonight?"

"Thank you, but I can't leave today."

He Yuzhu said: "You can't blame me for this, it's you who don't have time, I'm idle every day."

"I envy your life."

He Yuzhu runs his own factory and can go there whenever he wants, and no one cares if he doesn't want to go.

I chatted with Secretary Zhang for a few words and then hung up the phone.

Now that he had the small blast furnace and a master who could use it to smelt steel, He Yuzhu only had to arrange people to prepare the site.

He Yuzhu had been busy for several days but had not yet completed the preparations. When he received the notice, He Yuzhu went to the street.

I thought he was looking for trouble with me, but it turned out to be a tricky matter.

He Yuzhu only knew that such a thing happened, but he didn't know the specific process.

The meeting ended quickly, and He Yuzhu returned to the machinery factory and called Xu Xiaomei in.

She stood at her desk and asked, "What's up?"

Neither side is a good thing. No matter who wins or loses, He Daqing will be very happy.

"Why are you quarreling?"

"It's all about the 30 yuan. I'll talk about it when you come back."

After hearing this, He Yuzhu knew that after Xu Wude went in, Yi Zhonghai promised to give him 30 yuan per month to support the Xu family.

The current quarrel is probably because Yi Zhonghai doesn't want to give it, but Xu Wude may still want to take advantage of it.

He Yuzhu originally wanted to work overtime, but he wanted to watch the two families quarrel more, so He Yuzhu packed up and left the factory.

As soon as we entered the courtyard, we heard the sound of quarreling. The central courtyard was also surrounded by three layers of walls. Adults and children were watching the fun with their mouths drooling in the northwest wind.

He Yuzhu squeezed in and saw Xu Wude's family in the middle, Yi Zhonghai and the White Widow opposite them, as well as Yi Wending and Yi Wensheng, who seldom appeared.

The two people's surname was Bai before, but after Widow Bai married Yi Zhonghai, they changed their surname to Yi, which made Yi Zhonghai very happy.

Finally, we have two sons to carry on the family line, which is worthy of the ancestors of the Yi family.

Although they changed their surnames, they did not live here on a daily basis. After all, He Daqing and He Yuzhu lived in this courtyard. It would be awkward for them to meet each other and they were also worried about getting beaten.

They usually live in the machine repair factory and are rarely seen all year round. I didn't expect that they would come to the courtyard this time.

Xu Damao was arguing with the Yi Wending brothers, but Xu Damao was no match for the two brothers and was clearly at a disadvantage.

Xu Wood's daughter-in-law was also quarreling with the White Widow. Other women tried to persuade them, but the two of them simply didn't listen and continued to quarrel.

He Yuzhu wanted to watch the fun, but when he saw him through his bangs, he greeted him, "Zhuzi, you're here."

He Yuzhu then walked up to him and asked, "I just got here, what's going on?"

Then he said hello to He Daqing, and Yu Shui also came over and called him brother.

"It's all about money."

Liu Haizhong said: "Lao Xu has come out, so Yi Zhonghai doesn't want to give the 30 yuan."

Yi Zhonghai had long wanted to stop paying this money. He had to give Xu Jiasan 360 yuan a year, which was enough to buy a 2000 yuan house. Now that Xu Wude was out of prison, Yi Zhonghai proposed that the money be paid here.

Of course Xu Wude was unwilling to do so, and he used the excuse that he had no job and could not support his family at all, and asked Yi Zhonghai to continue giving him 30 yuan per month until he found a job that satisfied him.

Yi Zhonghai has almost no spare money after all the hard work he has done over the years, and his two sons' marriages have not yet been arranged. Of course, he is unwilling to continue to be drained of blood by the Xu family.

Liu Haizhong explained and said, "Zhu Zi, you should separate them. We can discuss anything later."

Yan Bugui also said: "Yes, we just tried to persuade them to stop fighting, but it didn't work at all."

Widow Bai relied on her two sons' support and became somewhat unscrupulous. She ignored Yan Bugui and Liu Haizhong completely, making them lose face.

Now that He Yuzhu is back, I hope he can put an end to this farce and we can sit down and discuss anything.

"Is it enough for me to talk?" He Yuzhu couldn't put in much effort. It would be better to let the two families continue arguing until they were tired.

"It will work as soon as you take action." Liu Haizhong said.

At this time, Xu Xiaomei saw He Yuzhu, walked over and said, "Brother Zhuzi, you should separate them to avoid another fight later."

It seems that Xu Damao is obviously no match for the two Bai brothers, and he would suffer a loss if they fought.

He Yuzhu looked at Xu Xiaomei, who was full of hope, and his heart softened. He nodded: "I'll try."
