Siheyuan: Started in 1950, third-level cook

On one side is Yi Zhonghai, a big man, and on the other side is learning cooking skills. Sha Zhu was a little embarrassed for a moment.

"Uncle, why don't you wait outside for a while? I'll be there when I'm done."

After hesitating for a while, Sha Zhu finally chose Chen Jun.

There was no other way. Chen Jun was the deputy director of the canteen and he could be asked to cook with just one word.

But it was obvious that Chen Jun was not very satisfied with the spicy and sour dish he had just cooked, and wanted some advice.

If I follow Yi Zhonghai out now, wouldn’t I offend Chen Jun again?

He was also counting on Chen Jun to arrange for him to get a promotion, a raise, and find a girlfriend.

Otherwise, he will just keep feeding pigs in a steel mill. Only a girl would be crazy to agree to be with him.

It's too low.

I'm not even qualified to be a pig feeder.

"Shazhu you..." Yi Zhonghai was stunned. He never expected that Shazhu would reject him in front of so many people.

"Forget it, go ahead and do your work. I'll wait for you outside."

Although he was angry, Yi Zhonghai didn't dare to lose his temper in the cafeteria.

This is Chen Jun's territory. Even though he was bullied again at noon today, he didn't dare to complain.

Ten minutes later, Sha Zhu came out from the kitchen in a hurry.

"Uncle, I really couldn't leave just now. Chen Jun finally gave me a chance to cook. If I didn't seize it, I would have to feed pigs in the future." Sha Zhu scratched his head and explained.

Yi Zhonghai sighed secretly, and did not dwell on this matter any more. Instead, he got straight to the point and said, "The Jia family is going to hold a banquet tomorrow. You know their family situation, so can you get some meat and vegetables from the canteen? It doesn't need to be too much, just a few pounds of pork, a bag of cabbage and half a bag of potatoes."

"As for the money, you pay it first, and the Jia family will give it to you later."

Everyone in the steel mill knows that it is cheaper to buy things here. These days, everyone is poor, so they think that they can save as much as possible.

There was nothing wrong with the original arrangement, but Sha Zhu felt uncomfortable after hearing it.

The Jia family is holding a banquet, why should they let me pay for the things?

It sounds good, and the Jia family will give the money later. However, Sha Zhu, who has helped the Jia family for so long, has never seen any money returned.

Even for the money they had borrowed before, the Jia family never thought about paying back a single penny.

The most important thing is that Qin Huairu can't eat at the banquet held by the Jia family this time, so Sha Zhu just waved his hand and said, "Uncle, this won't work. I'm just feeding pigs in the cafeteria, and the people in the warehouse don't care about me at all."

"Since we're having a wedding banquet tomorrow, let Jia Zhang go to the market to buy them. There's still enough time."

Seeing that Sha Zhu rejected him so cleanly, Yi Zhonghai felt a little uncomfortable for a moment.

This is to help the Jia family!

Are you okay with your brain, Shazhu? You don’t even care about helping the Jia family?

The point is where to buy the ingredients? The point is that the Jia family has no money!

"Shazhu, you know the situation of the Jia family. Why don't you go to the vegetable market after get off work? You are a chef and you have a better eye for buying things than us." Yi Zhonghai continued.

"Uncle, why don't you go?" At this point, Sha Zhu started to feel uncomfortable.

If it had happened before, Sha Zhu wouldn’t have thought there was anything wrong.

But since Chen Jun said those words to him yesterday, Sha Zhu gradually figured out some things.

Jia Dongxu is Yi Zhonghai's apprentice.

Yi Zhonghai is one of the people with the highest salary in the whole hospital. Why should he always be asked to support the Jia family?

It's fine to help Sister Qin, Shazhu is happy to do so.

But what’s the point of helping Jia Zhangshi and Jia Dongxu?

They are not old, weak or sick, do they need my support?

"I...I'm not as good as you at buying groceries!" Yi Zhonghai was a little anxious. He felt that Sha Zhu had become different from before.

"You can let me go, but I have no money. Uncle, you have to give me the money for groceries first." After saying this, Sha Zhu stretched out his hand towards Yi Zhonghai.

He didn't mean to ask Yi Zhonghai for money, he really had no money!

Not only did he have no money, he also owed several hundred yuan in foreign debt. If he didn't work in the canteen, he would be so poor that he would have to starve.

"How could you be like this, Stupid Zhu? Are you obsessed with money?" Yi Zhonghai was also upset: "You are unwilling to help with this little thing. I taught you in vain. Forget it, I will buy the vegetables myself and not trouble you."

After saying that, Yi Zhonghai turned and left.

Ah? ?

This time it was Shazhu's turn to be confused.

No, I didn’t say I won’t help. Are you anxious when I ask you for money for vegetables?

I really have no money!

Sha Zhu watched Yi Zhonghai's back disappear at the cafeteria entrance, completely puzzled.

What he doesn't know is that there are usually only two reasons for the breakdown of a relationship.

First, the person who has been suffering losses is no longer willing to continue suffering losses.

Second, the person who has been taking advantage can no longer do so.

Sha Zhu was a typical sucker before. He was willing to be the blood bag of the Jia family. He was poor but still happy every day.

Now that he has no money and is being taken advantage of, Yi Zhonghai feels that Sha Zhu has changed.

"Oh, this is really strange."

Sha Zhu scratched his head in confusion and returned to the kitchen with a frown.

"Chen Jun, an old man just scolded me for being money-minded." Sha Zhu couldn't find anyone else to talk to in the cafeteria, so he could only find Chen Jun to pour out his grievances.

He felt quite wronged.

"What happened?" Chen Jun picked up the teacup and took a big sip of tea, then asked slowly.

Sha Zhu briefly recounted what had just happened.

"It's normal, too normal. If you don't spend money to buy vegetables, Yi Zhonghai will have to spend his own money. How can he not be angry?"

"But I shouldn't pay for this. I really have no money now." Sha Zhu spread his hands helplessly.

"That's normal, Silly Zhu, have you ever heard of the saying 'a little help may bring gratitude, a big help may bring resentment'? You are a typical example." Chen Jun said with a smile.

Sha Zhu shook his head, indicating that he didn't quite understand.

"Well, a little help is a debt of gratitude. When others are in trouble, if you lend a hand, they will thank you. But if you give too much, or too often, they will take it for granted."

"Once he forms a habit, if you stop helping him, he will not be grateful but will hate you instead." Chen Jun patiently explained the situation to Sha Zhu.

This guy's nickname is really well-deserved, he's so stupid.

"Similarly, you should avoid this when you are looking for a partner in the future, otherwise your partner will think that your efforts are their due, and once you fail to do something well, you will become a sinner."

After hearing these words, Sha Zhu couldn't help scratching his head again.

Why didn't anyone tell me these things before?

He originally thought that if he treated the Jia family better, the Jia family would treat him better.

But now it seems that this is not the case at all.

It was just like the last time when the Jia family insisted on staying in the house and she refused to mortgage her house, so Jia Zhang cursed at her.

Even Qin Huairu felt a little resentful towards him.

Thinking back now, Shazhu slapped his thigh in regret.
