I am doing well in the Siheyuan

"Borrow corn flour?"

Ye Ming remained calm on the surface, but he was sneering in his heart.

He Yuzhu's experience is still fresh in his memory.

The food in the kitchen all belongs to the public. As a cook, what right does Ye Ming have to lend public grain to others?

Even Director Yang did not dare to overstep his authority.

Once this action is discovered, it will give others an advantage.

Let’s not discuss whether Qin Huairu has other intentions.

Even if your family really has no food, why would you let someone risk their future to feed your family?

Qin Huairu is extremely smart, how could she not know such a truth?

Ye Ming frowned slightly and looked at Qin Huairu carefully.

Although she already has three sons, her figure is still graceful, no wonder she attracts so many coveted eyes.

Qin Huairu couldn't help feeling a little nervous when she noticed Ye Ming's gaze.

I still remember clearly what happened yesterday when Deputy Director Li took me to the Security Department. Although three white steamed buns were not enough to convict me,

But she had been clearly told that if she did not do his work, she might be transferred from her position in the kitchen at any time.

Ye Ming pondered for a moment and said, "Sister Qin, you also know that the factory has been very strict in this regard recently. I am just a cook. How can I have the right to embezzle public food? Let alone 20 kilograms of corn flour, even if it is a steamed bun, it would be considered stealing.

Shazhu is still suffering in prison."

Ye Ming had an embarrassment on his face, and the tactic of playing hard to get was something he could use with ease.

“I know this is not easy, but you and I are the only ones who know this now. Besides, the kitchen has plenty of food. I only took away 20 kilograms, and no one will notice.

Xiaoye, as long as you are willing to help me, I will agree to any conditions!"

Qin Huairu clenched her teeth, as if she had made some important decision.

"Oh? Agree to anything?" Ye Ming's lips curled up into a rogue smile. This long-lost look was often seen when he was walking around the streets in his early years.

Men do have similarities.

Qin Huairu's expression remained unchanged, but she had a new evaluation of Ye Ming in her heart.

"Yes, anything!"

"Sister Qin, you're joking. I can easily help with this little thing.

Your family's situation is known to everyone in the factory. It is indeed very difficult. It is not impossible to borrow 20 kilograms of corn flour. But I heard that Deputy Director Li blocked you at the factory gate yesterday?"

Hearing this, Qin Huairu was shocked, thinking that Ye Ming had guessed something, and quickly put on an aggrieved look.

"A woman has to take care of an orphan and a widow at home, and she has to be bullied in the factory. Xiaoye, if I hadn't been desperate, I wouldn't have come to you."

"I understand, it's really hard for you to support it alone, Sister Qin.

How about this, I'll take the corn flour back for you, and you can come to the warehouse to get it at 8 o'clock in the evening. There are many people in the courtyard, and 20 kilograms of corn flour is not as much as three steamed buns. If something goes wrong, both of us will be held responsible."

If the handover location had not been in the warehouse, Qin Huairu really would not have believed that Ye Ming would be so kind.

As expected, even a man full of vigor and vitality could not escape from worldly desires.

They say there are too many people around and too many eyes. Since we have made an appointment in the warehouse, why make so many excuses?

Qin Huairu was struggling internally. If it weren't for Deputy Director Li's relentless pressure, she might have chosen to depend on Ye Ming.

"Okay, I will definitely go to the warehouse to find you at 8 o'clock tonight."

"Don't worry, I will definitely bring the corn noodles to you, Sister Qin, when the time comes." After saying that, Ye Ming returned to his indifferent look.

Qin Huairu sighed inwardly, thinking that Liu Lan and the others should be back by now, so she continued cleaning the kitchen as if nothing had happened.

I thought everything would be calm today, but unexpectedly Director Yang suddenly called Ye Ming to his office.

"Xiao Ye, Director Lou called just now and wants you to go over to his house tonight to prepare a banquet. It seems that an important guest is coming. I have other plans tonight, so I can't take you there."

"Director Lou? No problem."

It's just a banquet, it shouldn't interfere with the evening's business.

The bell rang and the employees went home one after another.

Qin Huairu packed up everything and glanced at Ye Ming before leaving. After seeing him nod, she left with peace of mind.

When the crowd gradually dispersed, Ye Ming got on his bicycle and headed towards the school.

"Teacher Ran, see you tomorrow."

Ran Qiuye stood there for a long time, watching the bicycle going farther and farther away.

Then, as if something touched her heart, she suddenly felt an empty feeling in her heart.

"Oh, tomorrow is Saturday. I won't be able to see him."

Ye Ming drove Xiao Xin quickly and arrived at the Lou family residence in a flash.

The living room was bustling with guests.

Mrs. Tan personally led Ye Ming into the kitchen.

"Master Ye, I have to trouble you again today."

"Mrs. Tan, you're welcome. Miss Lou and Xu Damao's wedding day is almost here, right?"

"Yes, their wedding is next Sunday, and all the friends in the living room were invited by Zhiren for this happy event.

I have to go take care of something, so I won't accompany you."

"Please do as you please. I will take care of the affairs here."

After Mrs. Tan left, Ye Ming began to light the fire skillfully.

Lou Xiao'e, who heard the news, walked into the kitchen.

"Do you need my help?"

Ye Ming glanced at her and did not refuse, but just pointed slightly at the cabbage on the chopping board.

Lou Xiao'e did not have the slightest airs of a rich lady. Without saying a word, she rolled up her sleeves and got down to work.

"Are you very familiar with Xu Damao?" she asked.

"Xu Damao? Not very familiar with him." Ye Ming responded.

"Don't pretend. You grew up together, how could you not be familiar with each other?"

"What do you want to say?" Ye Ming asked with a raised eyebrow.

Lou Xiao'e's eyes widened, and she didn't look like she was joking: "I want to ask, what kind of person do you think Xu Damao is?"

Ye Ming didn't look up, he only heard the sound of knife and cutting board echoing in the kitchen.

"You are all going to get married, shouldn't you be the one who knows the answer to this question best?"

"Although we are about to get married, I don't have much contact with him." Lou Xiao'e paused what she was doing, as if she was lost in thought, her brows slightly frowned, "I think he is smooth-talking and good at pleasing people. It's easy to be with him, but I always feel that he is hiding something."

Indeed, Xu Damao has a way with girls. After all, as a projectionist, in addition to showing movies, he also has to act as a commentator, which is a technical job.

Unlike a cook, although he needs to be strong enough to wield a big spoon, skills are more important.

"This is a matter between you two. If an outsider like me speaks out, I will be looked down upon.

But marriage is a lifelong thing." As Ye Ming spoke, he thought of the deaf old lady's words - Lou Xiao'e was indeed a little naive.

Her parents set a trap for her, but she jumped into it without hesitation.

Because Xu Damao misunderstood that she was infertile and did not know the truth, she endured humiliation for many years and took all the responsibility on herself.

The deaf old lady brought her together with Sha Zhu, and they got a child without anyone noticing.

In this day and age, for a woman, getting pregnant before marriage is far more than just being described as "unfaithful to one's husband."
