Siheyuan: The Counterattack of Passerby

Qin Huairu was not in a good mood after going to work. She felt that she was not adapted to the work in the factory, and Huaihua was still too young. She could not eat at the steel rolling mill at noon, and had to rush back to the courtyard to feed Huaihua. Otherwise, Huaihua, who was just one month old, would probably starve to death if she didn't have milk for a day.

Moreover, although milk powder factories had been established and started producing milk powder in the country at that time, the output was far from meeting the market demand. Generally speaking, even if one had money and tickets, one could not buy milk powder at the supply and marketing cooperatives. One had to use connections and go through the back door to get some.

Moreover, milk powder is expensive and most people cannot afford it. Qin Huairu has just started working. Although she is a successor and a formal employee, she is only an apprentice. With only twenty yuan a month, Huaihua cannot afford milk powder at all.

So Qin Huairu still had a very hard time after going to work. She had to run home to feed Huaihua at noon every day, and then rush back to the factory to work after lunch.

However, Qin Huairu would still go to the canteen at noon to get some food to take home and eat with her children and Qin Jingru. After all, the canteen in the factory at that time was a welfare institution. The factory did not expect to make money from the canteen, but had to subsidize it a lot. The food in the factory was cheap and plentiful, and there was more oil and water than cooking at home. Many workers would get more and take it home in the evening to improve the lives of their families.

At first, Qin Huairu was hoping that Sha Zhu would take care of her and give her more food when she went to the cafeteria to get food. If she could take the opportunity to cry poor to Sha Zhu, maybe he could even let her eat.

But after she went to the second canteen where Sha Zhu worked several times in a row, she was completely disappointed. Sha Zhu has now become the head chef of the second canteen and is also the team leader. Basically, he does not need to go to the window to serve meals to the employees. Qin Huairu basically does not see Sha Zhu when she goes to get meals, but she meets Zhao Erya.

Zhao Erya basically entered the factory with Qin Huairu, but she is different from Qin Huairu. After arriving at the canteen, everyone knows that she is Sha Zhu's wife. Now Sha Zhu listens to Lin Geng's advice and has restrained his bad temper a lot. He no longer steals food or ingredients from the canteen like before. He is also much kinder to the workers in the canteen and his popularity is much better than before.

So when Zhao Erya went to work in the cafeteria, the people in the cafeteria would take care of her, and no one would dare to bully her.

Zhao Erya was also very hardworking. She did not slack off in the kitchen or look down on others just because Sha Zhu was the head chef and could protect her. She came to the canteen to work as a helper and just did the work of a helper. She was very nimble and worked very hard. She did not slack off at all and competed with others for work. You could tell at first glance that she was a hardworking and good woman. So she became very popular in the canteen within a few days and her popularity was even better than Sha Zhu's.

Moreover, after Sha Zhu married Zhao Erya, he became a real man and doted on Zhao Erya. He also saw that Zhao Erya was a good wife who was thrifty and capable, and most importantly, she was beautiful and had a good figure. So he completely transferred all his love to Zhao Erya and doted on her very much.

Once a man pampers his wife, he will give people the illusion that he is afraid of his wife. In fact, he is not afraid of her, but he is giving in to his wife and does not want to make her angry or unhappy.

After Zhao Erya arrived at the cafeteria, she understood the ways of the world better than Sha Zhu, so she took care of Sha Zhu, which made Sha Zhu's bad temper more restrained. Because he was in a good mood, he became cheerful all day long and rarely had a sour face. So naturally, the people in the kitchen became closer to Sha Zhu.

Qin Huairu went to the second canteen to get food. She wanted to take the opportunity to get close to Sha Zhu, but she didn't find Sha Zhu. Instead, she ran into Zhao Erya who was serving food to employees at the canteen window.

When Zhao Erya saw Qin Huairu, her face darkened. When it was Qin Huairu's turn to get food, of course she didn't give Qin Huairu a good look. She remembered that on the day when she and Sha Zhu got their marriage certificate, Qin Huairu shamelessly ran out and openly tried to snatch her man away, and said with a shameless face that Sha Zhu liked her. Zhao Erya was very angry that day.

Even though Zhao Erya beat Qin Huairu up on the spot that day, she still didn't feel better. Before going back to consummate her marriage with Sha Zhu that night, Zhao Erya sternly warned Sha Zhu that if he dared to talk to Qin Huairu again or help her behind her back, she would definitely not be polite to him.

Zhao Erya learned a saying from Lin Geng, and said to Sha Zhu, I, Zhao Erya, will never get married in this life. But once I get married, I will never get divorced, I can only become a widow!

If Sha Zhu dared to do anything to let her down, or if anything happened to him and Qin Huairu, then Sha Zhu's household registration would be cancelled and she would go to jail.

This scared Sha Zhu so much that he kept pointing to the sky and swore that he would never dare to let Zhao Erya down. If Zhao Erya ever found out that he and Qin Huairu had something unclear, he would be willing to be castrated by Zhao Erya and become a eunuch.

After Zhao Erya got Sha Zhu's oath and pledged his all, she let Sha Zhu go to bed with her and became his wife, allowing the virgin Sha Zhu to truly become a man and experience the taste of a woman.

Sha Zhu is actually an affectionate man, otherwise, in the original drama, he would not have been Qin Huairu's bootlicker for his entire life. Once he sets his eyes on a woman, he will be devoted to her and is really good to Zhao Erya.

Zhao Erya got angry when she saw Qin Huairu. Originally, she never shook the spoon when serving food to others. But after meeting Qin Huairu, she shook the spoon for the first time. By the time the food she served to Qin Huairu was put into her lunch box, less than half of it was left. Qin Huairu was very angry and asked Zhao Erya why she served her so little food.

At this time, Ma Hua heard the voice and immediately came over. He invited Zhao Erya to the side, glared at her, knocked on the dish basin and shouted, "How can the dishes be exactly the same? There are more and less, why are there so many things? My wife just came to work and the dishes are not yet cooked. What are you making a fuss about? Go aside quickly and don't delay us from serving dishes to our comrades. Next one..."

So Qin Huairu was pushed aside by the people behind her. Then Ma Hua gave other workers a full spoonful of rice, which made the workers who were getting their meals behind her very happy.

As Sha Zhu's apprentice, Ma Hua also heard about Sha Zhu's affairs. He had long known that Sha Zhu used to steal food and bring it back to someone, as well as what happened to Sha Zhu later. He had also heard of Qin Huairu's name.

The residents of the courtyard who worked in the factory had already spread the news throughout the steel rolling mill that Qin Huairu openly wanted to snatch Sha Zhu in front of his new wife. As Sha Zhu's apprentice, Ma Hua naturally heard about it. After Zhao Erya came to work in the cafeteria, he became familiar with Zhao Erya and even asked Zhao Erya once.

So today, when Zhao Erya was shaking the spoon at Qin Huairu and Qin Huairu questioned Zhao Erya, he immediately guessed Qin Huairu's identity, and hurried over to replace Zhao Erya and sent Qin Huairu away.
