Siheyuan: With the system in hand, the world is mine

On the other side, at the Jia family, Jia Dongxu frowned, his eyes revealing anxiety and uneasiness.

He recalled his past days at the steel mill, when he relied on the reputation of his master Yi Zhonghai and often arrogantly commanded others to work for him, while he himself was lazy and slack off.

He knew in his heart that he had obtained his second-level worker status thanks to Yi Zhonghai's connections.

Now that Yi Zhonghai has been arrested, those who were bullied by him will definitely take the opportunity to retaliate. Even if they don't target him directly, he got promoted to the second-level worker position because of Yi Zhonghai's connections. If he is asked to process the second-level worker parts alone, he might end up scrapping them.

If this really happens, he will definitely be demoted and his salary will be reduced.

Thinking of this, Jia Dongxu couldn't help but sigh, his face full of sorrow. He squatted down and smoked one cigarette after another, as if only tobacco could temporarily relieve his inner anxiety.

At the same time, Qin Huairu sat aside, watching Jia Dongxu silently.

She secretly thanked herself for being smart and always knowing how to borrow money from Sha Zhu. Whenever she needed money, she could always find various excuses to ask Sha Zhu for money.

Moreover, she would secretly hide some money for emergencies. After a period of accumulation, she had nearly a hundred yuan in her small treasury.

Although the money is not much, it is a considerable fortune for her.

But after a brief moment of snickering, Qin Huairu suddenly realized a serious problem: He Daqing was back! How could she take advantage of Sha Zhu in the future? Not only that, she might not even have a lunch box anymore...

Thinking of this, Qin Huairu suddenly sat on the edge of the bed with a melancholy look on her face, folding clothes in silence.

On the other hand, Jia Zhang was completely immersed in anger at Yi Zhonghai for embezzling so much money and not giving her any. She kept cursing, "Bah, Yi Zhonghai, that old beast, embezzled so much money and didn't even help our family. You're his apprentice!"

Then there was another series of unbearable insults.

At this time, Jia Dongxu was upset and at a loss, while Jia Zhang was still chirping and cursing. Finally, he couldn't help but yelled, "Mom, can you stop arguing!"

"You little bastard, you have grown wings. Now you start to protect your master and you want me, right? Old Jia, come and have a look! This unfilial son doesn't want his mother anymore. Come and take me away!" Upon hearing this, Jia Zhang collapsed on the ground, started to throw a tantrum and rolled around, crying and trying to summon the soul.

"Mom, that's not what I meant. Can you please stop making trouble? I'm already annoyed." Jia Dongxu looked at Jia Zhang with a haggard face.

"What do you mean? Are you starting to look down on me now? I raised you with great difficulty. Was it easy for me?" Jia Zhang looked at Jia Dongxu angrily.

When Jia Dongxu heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he thought to himself, if my father hadn't suppressed you back then, I would have starved to death by you. But Jia Dongxu could only think about this in his heart, and he didn't dare to say it out loud at all. If he said it out loud, he was afraid that it would cause a huge uproar.

Then he said kindly, "Mom, what good will it do us if the old man is arrested now? Who will be able to help us in the yard in the future?"

"It's not just in this yard. I'm having a hard time in the factory too. Without my uncle, I don't know how our family will live in the future."

"Yes! Now that He Daqing is back, it's a question of whether Sha Zhu can still give us lunch boxes in the future?" At this moment, Qin Huairu sighed deeply, his face full of worry and helplessness.

She knew that without Yi Zhonghai's support, their family's life would become more difficult.

Hearing this, Jia Zhang stopped making a fuss and stood up cursing, with a fierce look on her face: "He's a rebel. So what if He Daqing comes back? Sha Zhu used to bring us lunch boxes, and he must bring them in the future. If he doesn't, I will beat him to death." She thought secretly in her heart that she must not let Sha Zhu stop helping the Jia family.

However, when Jia Zhang said this, He Daqing knew nothing. At this moment, he was immersed in the joy of cooking, carefully making delicious dishes.

Soon, He Daqing came to the table with several plates of fragrant meat dishes and recommended them to Wang Haoran with a smile on his face: "Haoran, try it. I specially brought out my signature cooking skills today."

"Good..." Wang Haoran replied with a smile, then picked up the braised pork from the plate and chewed it carefully. He couldn't help but exclaimed: "You are worthy of being a chef, the meat is fat but not greasy, very delicious." He Daqing heard the compliment and smiled proudly.

Seeing Wang Haoran wolfing down the food, Xu Damao couldn't help swallowing his saliva, his eyes full of anticipation, as if he really wanted to try these delicacies. However, because He Daqing was beside him, he still seemed a little restrained.

He Daqing couldn't help laughing when he saw Xu Damao's expression: "Haha, you must be the kid from the Xu family! Your father and I were brothers in distress back then. Don't be polite, try it and see how it tastes."

Hearing this, Xu Damao's eyes lit up and he immediately smiled: "That's great, thank you Uncle Daqing! I won't be polite then!" As he said that, he quickly picked up the chopsticks, reached out to the plate impatiently, and began to taste it.

However, after taking a bite of the meat, Xu Damao's eyes lit up, and then he kept eating quickly, bite by bite.

Seeing Xu Damao's appearance, Wang Haoran couldn't help but curse, "Xu Damao, are you a starving ghost reincarnated? Can you eat slower? You ate all the food by yourself, how can we eat?"

When Xu Damao heard what Wang Haoran said, he looked embarrassed. He stopped what he was doing and looked at everyone.

Then, seeing He Yushui and Wang Xinya's mouths wide open, the boss also showed an unnatural look on his face, and smiled apologetically: "Hehe...Brother Haoran, I'm sorry, it was so delicious that I couldn't help it. I will pay attention and try to eat slowly."

"Okay, let's eat together, don't just stand there." Seeing this, He Daqing smiled and tried to smooth things over.

"Come on, Uncle Daqing, let me toast you." Xu Damao poured a glass of wine for He Daqing and said.

"Come... come... Haoran, let's drink together." Seeing this, He Daqing did not refuse, and then called Wang Haoran to drink together.

For a while, Wang Haoran and his friends were eating and drinking together. Only He Yushui and Wang Xinya were like two little hamsters, with puffy cheeks, eating the food non-stop.

Night gradually fell. At this time, Wang Haoran and other two were the only ones at the dinner table. Several bottles of wine were empty. Xu Damao was drunk and kept complaining about Sha Zhu's past.

Speaking of Sha Zhu who often brought lunch boxes to the Jia family, He Yushui fainted from hunger and fell asleep on the table. He Daqing listened calmly, but he was furious inside and clenched his hands.

Seeing this, Wang Haoran could only mourn for Sha Zhu in his heart... Then Wang Haoran arranged a room for He Daqing. After sending Xu Damao back home, he took a hot bath, lay on the bed and gradually fell asleep.
