Siheyuan: Pioneer in anti-corruption, fighting against evil!

"With my wife at home, everything can be solved?" He Yuzhu curled his lips in contempt. "How much do you know about our family affairs?"

"You start by saying that I have food at home. Have you seen my grain jars with your own eyes, or have you searched my cellar?"

"How come I don't know about this?"

"..." Yi Zhonghai was speechless for a moment, "I just saw you taking food out.

"Oh~" He Yuzhu suddenly realized, "If I take food out, does that mean I have more food at home?"

"Where does this statement come from? Is there any logical connection between them?"

"Why didn't I notice it?"

"Also, what right do you have to question my wife's lying?"

"It was a slip of the tongue, I've already apologized.

"Yi Zhonghai explained quickly.

The second uncle Liu Haizhong beside him also interrupted: "Old Yi did apologize for this matter. He was just asking, and he didn't say that your wife lied, right?"

"Heh~ Ask? Why do I feel like you're interrogating a criminal?" He Yuzhu frowned, "Besides, what's the point of holding a general meeting without any evidence, saying that I can get food?"

"Have you asked me privately?"

"You seem to have just assumed that I can get food. What if I say I can't?"

"I'm the factory's cook. Are you suspecting me of stealing public food?"

"Zhu Zi, that's not what we meant!" Yi Zhonghai quickly clarified, "You see, everyone is very sad..."

"Stop!" He Yuzhu waved his hand. "Don't mention this to me. I have no food. We have a ration for our family of three. You're urging me to find food before we've figured out the situation?"

"Is this how an old man does things?"

"Are you assigning tasks?"

At the beginning, everyone in the yard thought that He Yuzhu could handle it because Yi Zhonghai said that the He family had food.

But now He Yuzhu firmly denied it, and they were also confused.

Jia Zhang said at this time: "You have no food at home, why are you taking food from others?"

He Yuzhu looked straight at her, "What's wrong with me taking food? I have elders at home, can I just watch them starve?"

"Besides, our family celebrates the holidays at Wenli's parents' house. I can also eat it if I take it over, so why not take it?"

"You haven't figured out anything yet, and you're asking me to find food. How shameless are you?"

Yi Zhonghai frowned and said, "Zhu Zi, if anyone is in trouble, help them if you can. Don't just think about yourself.

"Puchi..." He Yuzhu suddenly laughed out loud, "Did Yi Zhonghai give you face?"

"..." Yi Zhonghai blushed immediately. He Yuzhu spoke to him the same way a few years ago.

Jia Dongxu interrupted at this time: "He Yuzhu, why are you talking to an old man?"

"Heh~ Yi Zhonghai kept pestering me by saying that my family has extra food and called a meeting of the entire hospital without asking in advance. Isn't this forcing me?" He Yuzhu said coldly.

"Who gave him the power to suspect my wife of lying?"

"You guys didn't know the food situation in my house from the beginning to the end, but you insisted on it. If it gets out, will others think that I, He Yuzhu, stole food from the cafeteria?"

"My reputation is gone?"

"Okay, in that case, let the security department handle it!"

"No!" Yi Zhonghai shouted hurriedly.

Liu Haiyang's face also darkened: "Silly Zhu, what happened to those lunch boxes you brought back?"

Yi Zhonghai was secretly delighted. He Yuzhu certainly had no way to explain this matter, but he still said, "Don't mention it. Let's just forget about it.

He tried to show kindness, but He Yuzhu didn't appreciate it: "Rainwater..."

"Brother..." He Yulu, who had just brought the lunch box into the house, ran out, "What's wrong?"

"Bring my lunch box here, take it all out for everyone to see!" He Yuzhu planned to take this opportunity to humiliate these guys.

He Yulu was stunned when she heard this, but she turned back to the main room and took out four lunch boxes.

He Yuzhu picked one up and opened it: "Did you see it? Twice-cooked pork..."

Then they opened them one by one, with a combination of meat and vegetables, and the whole yard became lively in an instant.

Passerby A exclaimed: "The He family's food is really good!"

Passerby B agreed: "Yeah, who can do this every day nowadays, but the portion is not big.

Xu Damao was gloating at this moment: "Dad, there is no way for Shazhu to explain this, right?"

“You idiot, if he can take it out, it means there’s no problem.

"Father Xu glared at Xu Damao.

He Yuzhu handed the lunch box to He Yulu: "Take it back before it gets cold.

Then he turned to Liu Haiyang and said, "Did Director Liu see it?"

"You..." Liu Haiyang was furious, "How do you explain?"

"What do you want to explain?" He Yuzhu looked at Liu Haiyang with contempt, "With your little IQ!"

"Why did I come back now?"

"Director Li from the logistics department treated us to dinner. He paid for the food in the cafeteria and I was in charge of the cooking.

“This is my reward!”

"Whether it's my own money or my company's assignment, evening is my off-duty time. What's wrong with that? Should I go hungry while my boss is eating?"

"I'm telling you, don't keep staring at my lunch box. I worked hard to earn this, and the factory approved it. I bring this out every day, and the security department can't do anything about it.

“This is the fruit of my labor!”

"Besides, don't you know, Yi Zhonghai, Director Liu, the rules of the kitchen? Eating breakfast and lunch in the cafeteria, plus the private kitchen, and what I earn from cooking for others outside, how much food can I save in a month?"

"Can't I send some food to my father-in-law's family?"

"What else is there to say?"

Yi Zhonghai looked solemn. He Yuzhu's words did make him realize that he could save a lot of food every month. The key was to invite many people and have at least one banquet every week.

Yi Zhonghai understood that they couldn't go on today. If the security department intervened, they would be in trouble.

"It was my negligence. I didn't investigate thoroughly and made a wrong judgment, Zhuzi.

"Yi Zhonghai wanted to say something else.

"Okay, stop talking nonsense. This is just this once. If it happens again, I will report it to the security department.

"He Yuzhu waved his hand to interrupt, completely ignoring Yi Zhonghai's explanation," If you hear any gossip in the future, don't be polite, just come to me directly.

“Wife, let’s go home, they are all full and we haven’t eaten yet.

Liu Haiyang was so angry that he pointed at He Yuzhu. He Yuzhu didn't give them any face at all today, but his ability was limited and he couldn't find a chance to fight back for a while.

After much difficulty thinking of the topic of lunch boxes, the other party came clean and said that it was a special approval from the leader to compensate He Yuzhu for his overtime hours.

With the departure of He Yuzhu and his family, there was no need to continue the discussion. Liu Haiyang said angrily, "Let's go!"

The crowd dispersed, and Liu Haiyang looked at Yi Zhonghai and said, "Old Yi, you miscalculated this time.

Yi Zhonghai sighed: "Alas, I didn't think it through.

"Shaking his head, he glanced at Yan Bugui, then took the teacup and went home.

Indeed, Yi Zhonghai was negligent this time.

He originally thought that gathering everyone in the compound would be enough to make He Yuzhu surrender.

However, he did not expect that He Yuzhu had a good reason: as a cook, He Yuzhu could indeed enjoy breakfast and dinner for free in the cafeteria.

In addition, he sometimes worked overtime in the factory or took private jobs to earn extra food, which naturally saved a lot.

Yi Zhonghai did not think deeply about this point.

This also shows the importance of Yan Bugui. He is the most astute calculator in the compound and knows the income and expenditure situation very well.

At first, Yan Bugui did not participate, and Yi Zhonghai did not care too much. After all, people in the compound generally supported him, and He Yuzhu did not show up at the beginning, and the young Wen Li looked easy to deal with.

However, the results were unexpected.

Wen Li is not an easy person to deal with. Whether she cooks or not is not the key point. What is important is whether she really does not know about the food reserves at home.

Yi Zhonghai went home with a frown on his face, and his wife asked, "Didn't you ask Zhuzi about the food?"

"No, their family has always had good food and often gives benefits to Old Yan, so how could they be short of food?" Yi Zhonghai explained, "It's just that I don't know how he saves food.

“……” The aunt didn’t say much, she understood what her husband was thinking.

He Yuzhu had a good relationship with their family before, but after He Daqing left, the relationship suddenly became distant.

Liu Haiyang took his family home, looking angry: "That idiot Zhu is so ignorant and doesn't take us seriously at all.

"The eldest son Liu Guangming smiled and said, "Dad, the third uncle didn't speak today.

"Huh?" Liu Haiyang was stunned. "Yes, didn't Brother Yi inform you in advance?"

"Dad, it seems that the uncle didn't tell you.

"Liu Guangming continued," Third Uncle will definitely not agree to join, because in the compound, only Third Uncle knows how much food He Yuzhu's family has.

“Dad, you and Uncle Yi don’t know the details. It’s useless for He Yuzhu to explain it himself. Others don’t know either.

"Besides, how could he not be angry if they didn't wait for He Yuzhu to come back?"

"Besides, even if he has food, will he share it with other people in the compound?"

Liu Haiyang's face was gloomy, "This is all Brother Yi's fault.

Yan Bugui remained silent, and said proudly after returning home: "In the future, I will have a good relationship with He Zhuzi's family, and when others ask, I will say I don't know.

The eldest son Yan Jiecheng asked: "Dad, what is the big deal about today?"

"What's that?" Yan Bugui said with a smile, "Yi Zhonghai just wanted to plot against He Yuzhu.

"What does the uncle want?" Yan Jiecheng was puzzled, "Their family doesn't lack food.

"What's the purpose?" Yan Bugui frowned, "It's hard to say.

In fact, Yan Bugui was not clear about it either. After all, Yi Zhonghai had the best relationship with the Jia family. The couple had no children and were still young, only in their early forties.

They placed their hopes for their retirement on their apprentice Jia Dongxu, and he couldn't understand why Yi Zhonghai targeted He Yuzhu.

Looking back, when He Daqing left home, Yi Zhonghai had tried hard to persuade him, but their relationship became cold afterwards.

What exactly happened then?

"I'm going outside!" Yan Bugui was anxious and got up and left the house. Then he walked to the courtyard, looked at the east wing, and finally came straight to the door of the main house.

"Zhu Zi!" Yan Bugui knocked on the door.

The door opened, and He Yuzhu lifted the door curtain and answered, "Uncle? Why are you here? Come in!"

Yan Bugui walked in and found the three members of the He family were having dinner.

Seeing the dishes in the lunch box, Yan Bugui couldn't help swallowing and said, "I came to ask you something.

"What did Yi Zhonghai say to you when your father passed away a few years ago?" Yan Bugui asked.

He Yuzhu was stunned when he heard this: "Why did you suddenly bring this up?"

"I think Yi Zhonghai's behavior is a little strange. He asked you to get food for no reason.

I didn't think much about it when I informed you yesterday, but after I got back today, my eldest brother asked me what Yi Zhonghai's purpose was.

" Yan Bugui explained.

He Yuzhu smiled slightly and invited, "Uncle, please sit down, let's drink and chat.

"He took out a bottle of Fenjiu and asked Yan Bugui to sit on a wooden sofa with thick cushions.
