Siheyuan: Pushing Huairu, the Prime Minister admits defeat

"Of course not. Director Li promoted Shazhu to be the team leader of the kitchen team. He has a lot of money to earn. I think I borrowed too little money this time, but it's enough. In a few days, I will take the grain book and Banggeng to the grain station to exchange for grain. I will also buy you a bottle of painkillers on the way. I think your rheumatic leg has become more serious."

Jia Dongxu happily took a handful of food from the jar, chewing it and laughing at the same time, no longer looking as grief-stricken as he had just been.

Seeing her son's filial piety, Jia Zhang glanced at Qin Huairu beside her and said, "It doesn't matter whether you take the painkillers or not. I'm not as delicate as the girls from wealthy families. If I lose the money when buying medicine, how can I live?"

"Dongxu, is it true that the police can't get this money back?"

Although she felt good in her mouth, Jia Zhang felt unhappy in her heart.

"Mom, if we really can't find it back, it's lost. It's better to lose money than to suffer disaster. If you really go to the police to make trouble, won't that cause trouble for our family? What if something unexpected happens? Who can say for sure?"

"Come, let me massage your legs and shoulders."

When Jia Zhang heard this, she thought it made sense.

Although she is fierce, she is not stupid.

Who can be so unreasonable? Who can't be so unreasonable? She can still distinguish the importance of it.

Looking at her smiling husband and her sharp-tongued but cruel mother-in-law, Qin Huairu felt an indescribable sense of fatigue in her heart.

She could only quietly take off the bronze pocket watch from her chest, and when her husband didn't notice, she secretly hid it in the secret compartment of the small box that came with her as a dowry...

Outside the door, Sha Zhu did not leave.

He put his ear against the door, eavesdropping on the laughter and conversation inside, feeling very uncomfortable.

"Jia Dongxu, when are you going to die? It would be best if he died like his father, falling into a molten steel furnace without even a bone residue left!"

Sha Zhu gritted his teeth and thought angrily in his heart.

But it was just a thought. Although he coveted Qin Huairu's body, he had the desire but not the courage to do it.

When delivering the lunch box, Qin Huairu's hand just touched him briefly, and Sha Zhu almost shivered.

He is a typical dog licker, and dogs licker often end up with nothing.

Unlike Li Weijun, who has the heart and courage of a thief.

Do it when you say it, do it if conditions permit, and create conditions if there are no conditions.

He never regarded Qin Huairu as some unattainable fairy, so naturally he didn't have any psychological burden.

The Siheyuan is a house with three entrances. Sha Zhu lives in the main house in the middle courtyard, while the Jia family and Yi Zhonghai family live in the east and west wing rooms respectively.

After listening to the Jia family's movements for a while, Sha Zhu was reluctant to leave. Coincidentally, Li Weijun was going to the Central Courtyard to ask Yi Zhonghai for money.

"Hey, Silly Zhu, you just came back? Where's your fried cicada monkey? I'm still not satisfied after eating a little. Your cooking skills are top-notch in Beijing. No wonder the neighbors always ask you to cook for weddings and funerals."

Li Weijun raised his eyebrows and glanced at Sha Zhu who had nothing in his hands, then looked at the direction Sha Zhu came from, and instantly realized that He Yushui would probably be hungry again today.

"You, just enjoy what you have. I'll give the rest to my sister-in-law. She just gave birth and is lacking in nutrition. Besides, you only ate a little, but you plucked a handful."

Sha Zhu's face was full of black lines, and he was very depressed: "Wei Jun, you used to call me Brother Zhuzi, but now you are not learning your lesson."

Li Weijun smiled and said, "Don't shake your hands when you get food every day, and I will call you Brother Zhuzi."

Sha Zhu pursed his lips and said unhappily, "If we don't shake the spoon, what will we eat? We are not like you projectionists who go to the countryside to show movies and enjoy delicious food. Our kitchen is full of smoke and fire, and we only have that little bit of oil."

It's all so hard when you talk about it, but you want to do it when you're persuaded.

Li Weijun did not refute, and said with a smile: "I think Ma Hua is good. If you find it tiring, you can teach Ma Hua some skills, and you can save some effort."

"That won't work. How can a skill be learned so easily? Even a cat will keep one trick up its sleeve when teaching a tiger. If you don't work as a waiter for a few years, do you think you can stir the wok? I have to take it easy."

Sha Zhu rolled his eyes, stood up and was about to leave.

But as if he had thought of something, he suddenly stopped Li Weijun and said, "When you go to the countryside to show movies, bring some more local specialties and sell them to our kitchen. I'll pay for the purchase."

Buy low and sell high, this is a common tactic used by the canteen kitchen staff.

As the squad leader of the kitchen team, Sha Zhu naturally had this small privilege. The third uncle in the front yard, Yan Bugui, would often sell the fish he caught in the moat to Sha Zhu at a low price.

If Sha Zhu continues to use the canteen's account, everyone will make money.

Li Weijun turned around and smiled, "I appreciate your kindness, but my account needs to be reviewed by Director Li. I don't think I can get your account."

What a joke! With Li Huaide's support, Li Weijun can take any bill from the cafeteria kitchen if he wants to, and there is no need for him to share a share with Sha Zhu.

"What do you mean? Could it be that Deputy Director Li gave you a backdoor?"

Sha Zhu was shocked, and when he recalled how Sun Debao had been so respectful and smiling at the dinner, he came up with a bold guess in his mind.

"Get lost! I'm clearly working for the steel mill. How can you call me a backdoor?"

Looking at the envious Sha Zhu, Li Weijun laughed and scolded him.

He stopped talking nonsense with Sha Zhu and went to Yi Zhonghai's house to collect the debt in peace.

When Sha Zhu saw Li Weijun going to Yi Zhonghai's house, he wanted to follow him and see what was going on.

However, he didn't expect that his sister He Yushui suddenly appeared from behind him.

In a cold tone, he said, "You came back so late with nothing in your hands. Did you bring the meal to Jia Dongxu's house again?"

Sha Zhu, who had been trying to play it safe, scratched his head awkwardly when he was found out. "Your sister-in-law is malnourished. I'm just worried that Xiao Huaihua won't have enough milk to drink. What do you want to eat? I'll make it for you when I get home."

He Yushui nodded woodenly, feeling extremely hungry.

But she secretly made up her mind that after she got married, she would never return to this sad place.

In the middle courtyard, Yi Zhonghai's house, the lights are bright.

Yi Zhonghai smoked a cigarette with a sad face, looking at an old lady counting money beside him, muttering to himself.

"Why did Li Weijun suddenly want to ask for money? He asked for so much money. He didn't even think about who had provided him with food, clothing, housing and transportation all these years?"

Aunt Yi didn't even bother to raise her eyelids: "Who told you to say outside that you were doing charity to help Li Weijun? Now your reputation has been established. Aren't you asking for trouble if you go back on your word now? I think we should give him the money his parents left behind and the money the street gave us all at once, so we don't have to argue about it later."

Yi Zhonghai was a little unwilling: "How much would it cost if I paid it all at once?"

"About eight hundred yuan, only a hundred yuan more than what I asked. I think I can just settle it for peace of mind and less trouble."

"That won't work. We can't give it all at once. If we do, won't all the hard work we've put in over the years be wasted?"

Yi Zhonghai shook his head like a wave drum and hurriedly rejected it.

Two people cannot sleep in one bed. The old lady knew with her toes that her husband was still concerned about Li Weijun's retirement.

He advised earnestly: "We should save our monthly wages so that we will have a guarantee when we are old. Why should we calculate and ask others to support us in our old age? Besides, if we want to be old, can't we just find a clean family to adopt a child?"
