Siheyuan: The Counterattack of Passerby

Although Guo Dapiezi did not regard Qin Huairu as his exclusive lover, after having sex with her, he treated her as his own woman. In his eyes, Qin Huairu was not much different from those half-doored women. However, Qin Huairu seduced Li Huaide even though he was taking care of her. This was intolerable, so he took the opportunity today and scolded Qin Huairu.

Looking at Qin Huairu crying, some workers might have felt pity for her in the past, but as time went on, everyone knew what kind of woman Qin Huairu was, and no one was willing to sympathize with her anymore. Instead, they all looked at her coldly, and some even blamed Qin Huairu.

"Don't give me that shit. If you're in a bad mood, just take a leave and don't come to work. You should work hard. You didn't make a single finished workpiece all day and even scrapped one. The factory pays you, not for you to slack off!

You are fleecing socialism by slacking off like this. If you don't work hard, I can't help you. I will apply to the factory to transfer you out of our workshop and assign you to the sanitation team to clean!

You have been in the factory for almost a year, and you can only do the work of an apprentice. Even if you have poor skills, you can't slack off like this every day. From tomorrow on, you will be responsible for transporting materials like other apprentices. If you dare to slack off like this again, I will send you to clean the toilet!"

Guo Dapiaozi didn't give Qin Huairu any face at all. He ignored Qin Huairu's pretty face with tears in her eyes. He scolded Qin Huairu with a dark face and arranged work for her tomorrow.

Qin Huairu was stunned when she heard this. The job of moving materials is not an easy job. Many workpieces weigh from a dozen to twenty pounds, or even dozens of pounds. They have to be moved from the warehouse and sent to various workstations for processing. This is standard physical work, not as easy as it is now, where she is responsible for polishing some finished workpieces every day.

Qin Huairu has always been arranged to do such easy work because of her relationship with Guo Dapiezi. She has never done the work of moving materials, which is really exhausting.

So Qin Huairu hurriedly begged Guo Dapiaozi with tears in her eyes, saying that she really couldn't do such heavy work, and begged Guo Dapiaozi to give her another chance. However, Guo Dapiaozi was not polite to her this time, and scolded her harshly: "Qin Huairu, don't give me that. Which apprentice hasn't done this kind of work? Others can do it, so why can't you?

We have female apprentices in our workshop, but who is slacking off like you? If you can do it, do it. If you can’t, get out of the workshop! That’s the arrangement. You can do it yourself. If you can’t do it, just resign!"

After hearing what Guo Dapiezi said, many workers in the workshop not only did no one plead for Qin Huairu, but many people began to applaud, saying loudly that Director Guo was right and that Qin Huairu should be punished.

Qin Huairu was completely dumbfounded. After going to work the next day, she was really forced by Guo Dapiaozi to move materials. Seeing that Guo Dapiaozi was serious this time, Qin Huairu had no choice but to start moving materials. She originally wanted to show off her tea art again and asked several male apprentices who had just joined the factory to help her, but who knew that those male apprentices ignored her at all and let her do what she was supposed to do by herself.

Qin Huairu cursed in her heart, but there was nothing she could do. She also knew that she had been relying on Guo Dapiaozi's care and slacking off at work every day, which had already caused public outrage. In addition, her bad reputation made people look down on her. Many workers in the workshop had long wanted to discipline her. If she refused, Guo Dapiaozi might really kick her out of the workshop and make her sweep the toilets.

So Qin Huairu had no choice but to accept it. After the day, Qin Huairu was exhausted. When she got off work in the afternoon, she couldn't even lift her arms.

After returning home, Qin Huairu thought about it carefully and seemed to sense where the problem was. Ever since she had dragged Xu Damao to ruin the plans of Lin Geng and Lou Xiao'e and failed, she had started to have bad luck.

First, Xu Damao completely fell out with her and forbade Qin Jingru to help her or take care of her three children. Then, a few days later, Li Huaide avoided her like the plague and no longer wanted her body. Later, Guo Dapiezi also fell out with her and stopped caring for her and sent her to move materials.

It is very likely that Lin Geng is behind this. Maybe Lin Geng said something bad about her to Li Huaide, causing Li Huaide to no longer desire her body, and then it affected Guo Dapiaozi, eventually leading to her being embarrassed everywhere and no longer being able to live as freely as before.

In other words, Qin Huairu was really smart. She thought of the key to the problem immediately and made a rough guess. However, Xu Damao did not help her, not because Lin Geng forced him to do so, but because Xu Damao regretted offending Lin Geng and wanted to draw a clear line with Qin Huairu. It was his own decision.

Now even Xu Damao's own life has become difficult, ever since Lin Geng told Li Huaide about Xu Damao and Qin Huairu's attempts to ruin his plans. It happened that Li Huaide was in charge of the propaganda department, so he gave a greeting to the head of the propaganda department, hinting that Xu Damao should be dealt with.

So the head of the Propaganda Department arranged for Xu Damao to go to the countryside to show movies in the cold weather, and this time the location was a mountain village dozens of miles away from the old city, and Xu Damao was asked to show the movies.

Xu Damao almost cried when he heard this. It was so cold, and he was asked to go to the countryside to show movies, and to the mountains at that. Wasn't this deliberately making things difficult for him?

It has snowed twice since the beginning of winter. The roads in the city are fine as the nearby street offices, factories and various units have organized manpower to clean the roads, so traffic is not hindered. However, outside the city, no one cleans the roads, so bicycles cannot be ridden at all and can only be pushed.

And you have to carry a heavy projector and movie films, which weigh dozens of kilograms. They can't be broken, and you have to push them carefully. The place where the movies are shown is in a mountain village dozens of miles away, and you have to go into the mountains. God knows how much suffering this is.

Xu Damao guessed immediately that the fact that he had betrayed Lin Geng had been exposed, and the superiors wanted to vent their anger on Lin Geng's behalf, so they deliberately punished him, which scared Xu Damao.

But he had no choice but to go. The work had been arranged, and if he didn't go, he would be resisting the organization's arrangement. The charge could be serious or minor. If it was minor, he could be criticized a few times, but if it was a big deal, then there would be no problem in expelling him.

It is very difficult to find a good job like the one in the steel mill, and at that, a job as a projectionist, in Beijing now. Once you are kicked out of the steel mill, it is basically impossible to find a job as comfortable as the one in the steel mill. No one will want a fired employee, and his future will be completely ruined.

So Xu Damao didn't dare to disobey the order. Although he was full of complaints, he had to take the projector, go home, put on his thick coat and big-toed shoes, and go out cursing to show movies in the countryside.
