For the first time, the people in the Siheyuan saw that the daughter-in-law of the Yan family was not someone to be trifled with, which made the third aunt feel proud in the Siheyuan for a while. And as Jia Zhangshi calmed down, the Siheyuan returned to peace.

At noon that day, He Yuzhu was busy in the cafeteria. Xu Damao came in from the back door and said, "Zhuzi, come to my place to eat after get off work tonight. I've moved back here a while ago. I'll treat you to dinner tonight."

"I thought you didn't want to invite us anymore. It's been such a long time," He Yuzhu said to Xu Damao while instructing the canteen workers to serve the food.

"Weren't we busy the past few days? We had to go to the countryside to show films, and the department had to organize study sessions of various documents and materials every day. Don't forget tonight," Xu Damao explained.

"Okay, I got it. Is there anything else? Can't you see I'm busy?" This was something that He Yuzhu had promised some time ago, so he agreed to it readily.

"The other thing is to get lunch," Xu Damao handed the lunch box to He Yuzhu.

"Go to the front to line up and run to the back kitchen to get food. You are really capable," He Yuzhu shouted in a bad mood. Ma Hua took the lunch box and gave Xu Damao some food.

"Okay, Chef," Ma Hua took the lunch box and went to get the rice.

"Zhu Zi, your wife has been here for a while, right? Is she getting used to it? We have a lot of things to do in the courtyard, and can she handle the work?"

"No, let me talk to the leader for you and transfer her to the Propaganda Department. I heard that our section chief was replaced some time ago, and the new section chief is a female comrade transferred from above," Xu Damao asked while waiting for his meal.

After He Yuzhu finished his work, he chatted with Xu Damao: "It's okay, there's no need to change. The Finance Department is also good. In the past two years since she came to Sijiu City, she has consulted the people in the street and borrowed some books to learn some cultural knowledge."

He Yuzhu thought to himself that Li Xiuzhi in the original time and space was an independent and studious person. He was not surprised at all that she had time to learn cultural knowledge on her own.

"And it's just a temporary job. I've slowly gotten used to it. Three of us are working now. I think my sister-in-law is the only one who doesn't cause any trouble at your house every day."

"What's the trouble? By the way, I can chat with my wife and stop her from being bored looking after the child alone. Besides, my family has enough food for her. You brought a lot of malted milk powder to my house, and even my son benefited from it," Xu Damao said with a smile.

At this time, Ma Hua came over with the prepared food. Xu Damao took it, gave the meal ticket to Ma Hua, thanked him, and left through the back door.

He Yuzhu was so busy that he got off work in the afternoon. He went to the Finance Department to pick up Li Xiuzhi and He Yushui from the logistics department. The three of them went home together.

Li Xiuzhi went to Xu Damao's house in the backyard to pick up Li Yue. As for He Yuzhu, he had dinner at Xu Damao's house today.

After coming back from dinner, he chatted with his sister's wife and sister-in-law for a while. In order to leave some space for He Yuzhu and his wife, He Yushui took Li Yue back to his room.

The two people left in the room whispered quietly, and the atmosphere gradually became charming. He Yuzhu closed the door and rushed over again. After a while of relaxation, he asked, "Xiuzhi, have you written to your family in your hometown to tell them that you are married and found a son-in-law for them?"

Li Xiuzhi, who was lying on He Yuzhu's chest at this time, playfully stroked He Yuzhu's chest and replied, "Boss, I wrote a letter to my hometown, but the journey is long and it should be halfway there now. They must be very satisfied with you as their son-in-law."

"When conditions are good in the future, we will definitely go back to take a look. I haven't been to Sichuan Province yet, so I want to go and see it for myself," He Yuzhu said with a smile.

When mentioning her hometown, Li Xiuzhi said with nostalgia: "If there had been no food, I would not have come to Sijiucheng and married you. There are many fun places in my hometown. If I can go back, I will take you around."

The couple fell asleep while talking and chatting.

On this day, He Yuzhu was drinking tea in the kitchen.

"Master, why don't you go to collect your salary later?" Ma Hua and Gao Jianshe ran back to the cafeteria from outside and said to He Yuzhu.

"Why is it early this year? Isn't salary paid on the 29th of the twelfth lunar month every year? And I don't need to go to collect my salary, your wife can just take it back later," He Yuzhu thought while drinking tea. Today is already the th of the twelfth lunar month and time flies by so fast.

"It should be to let everyone spend the New Year peacefully, and to pay their wages early so that everyone can buy New Year goods," Ma Hua said, scratching his head.

Li Xiuzhi from the Finance Department and her colleagues were distributing wages to the workers.

"Li Tiezhu, twenty-seven dollars and fifty cents, take the money and put your fingerprints on it,"

"Zhang Aiguo, forty-five yuan. Zhang Aiguo, did you hear that? Forty-five yuan. Hurry up and line up and put your fingerprints on it."

The finance department called out the name twice before the worker who was chatting with someone came over.

The workers queuing behind were also excitedly discussing what to do with the wages.

"Everyone line up. Anyone who dares to disrupt the order will be asked to go to the security department," said the security officer who was maintaining order on the side.

Qin Huairu was in the crowd, waiting in line while calculating her salary. She had to buy some food for Banggeng, give three dollars for Jia Zhang's pension, and buy some New Year's supplies. As she calculated, the money she had was not enough and her face was suddenly filled with worry.

"Erdan, we opened a lot this month. Let's go buy New Year's goods together after get off work."

"Okay, let's go together. My son asked me to buy him firecrackers and spend money to fulfill his wish."

"I won't buy firecrackers. It's Chinese New Year, so I'll buy some delicious food. I've worked hard all year, so I'll treat myself."

Qin Huairu's face became even more bitter when she heard people preparing to buy meat, new clothes, and save money to get married.

"This is Master He's salary. Sister Xiuzhi is now in your hands."

At this time, Qin Huairu, who was waiting in line, heard what the Finance Department said, looked up and saw Li Xiuzhi taking a large amount of money.

"Director He, how many have been opened?"

"How would I know? But judging by the thick stack, it should be a lot."

"He Yuzhu's wife is so lucky. She found such a good man and her future life is really enviable," the workers who were receiving their wages also said.

Qin Huairu looked at Li Xiuzhi's beautiful face, then looked at He Yuzhu's salary in her hand, and couldn't help cursing in her heart: "This damn little vixen, if it weren't for you, all He Yuzhu's things would be mine." Then she began to worry again when she thought about the future.

Someone nearby saw Qin Huairu's expression and couldn't help but say with a smile, "Look at that little widow, why does she look like her father has died?"

"It could be that Master He's salary is higher and his wife is prettier than hers, so he didn't get any benefits at all."

"How can she, a widow with three children, compare with Master He's wife?"

"Everyone knows that she flirts around the workshop all day long, exchanging steamed buns for steamed buns, but except for a few people, no one wants to pay attention to her."

"You can't eat the grapes and say they are sour, can you?"

"I ate it, did you eat it?"

The male workers laughed and continued to collect their wages. Qin Huairu could only remain silent as she listened to the words in her ears. When it was her turn to collect her salary of 27.5 yuan, she was too embarrassed to stay there, so she turned around, wiped her tears and ran out.

Qin Huairu ran outside and looked at the money in her hand. She thought that she had to find a way to get some benefits elsewhere, otherwise she would not be able to celebrate the New Year.

Although she could get some benefits from Li Huaide, they were all given to Bang Geng, leaving the family with insufficient funds. Thinking of this, she turned her attention to He Yuzhu. While his wife was busy with work and not around, she prepared to play the victim.

At this time, He Yuzhu was busy preparing for the evening reception in the canteen kitchen, not knowing that Qin Huairu was going to come to see him again.

Qin Huairu sneaked in from the back door of the cafeteria and found He Yuzhu: "Zhuzi, I have something to ask you."

"Qin Huairu, who told you to come to the kitchen? If something is lost in the cafeteria, it will be considered that you stole it."

"I have nothing to say to you. Besides, I'm a family man now. Why do you, a little widow, always come to me?" He Yuzhu looked at Qin Huairu with disdain and said sternly.

Since it was almost time to get off work, everyone in the cafeteria heard the noise coming from He Yuzhu and gathered around Qin Huairu, pointing fingers at her.
