Facing Xu Damao's comments on what happened in the courtyard, Xu Fugui could no longer bear it and accused him: "Da Mao, stop interfering in the affairs of our courtyard. Look at the consequences of those who angered He Yuzhu! You yourself admitted that Liu Haizhong's family was arrested by the police. Do you still hope that our Xu family will repeat the same mistake?"

Now Xu Fugui has only one thought, that is to live a good life for his family. The life and death of others has nothing to do with him!

Looking at Xu Damao who was dissatisfied, Xu Fugui said again: "Don't give me a bad face here! To tell you the truth, ten Xu Damao put together are not as good as one finger of He Yuzhu!"

"Have you forgotten how I, a master of a courtyard, came to be?"

"But they were all recommended and promoted by He Yuzhu!"

"Think about it. He Yuzhu helped the police catch enemy spies and was awarded the title of advanced individual and hero model. He can also cook delicious food for foreign friends and is respected as a god chef by foreign friends. Look at yourself in the mirror. How can you compare with He Yuzhu?"

"I warn you not to provoke He Yuzhu if nothing happens! Otherwise, if you cause trouble, I will pretend that I have never given birth to a son like you!"

Seeing Xu Damao's embarrassed look, Xu's mother stood up and spoke for her son: "Da Mao, don't listen to your father's nonsense. He Yuzhu is better than our Damao in some ways, but our Damao is not bad either!"

"Da Mao is handsome and elegant. He Yuzhu's ugly appearance is no match for Damao! Fugui, how can you be belittled by Damao?"

Hearing that his mother stood on his side, Xu Damao immediately cheered up, shook his hair proudly, and thought to himself that it was his mother who understood him.

Xu Fugui looked at the proud mother and son and couldn't help but half-jokingly said, "You treat him like a treasure! Sooner or later, he will squander all our money!"

"It's useless to be handsome. You're still single now!"

"If you are capable, help me find a daughter-in-law!"

Xu Fugui felt that although his abilities were limited, he was still smart, and continuing to be a bachelor was a concern for Xu Damao.

"Look at Xu Huizhen, whom He Yuzhu married. She is so pretty and has the Xu Family Tavern as her dowry."

Hearing Xu Fugui's words, Xu Damao quickly confessed: "Dad, you can't be so absolute!"

"I will definitely find you a beautiful and wealthy wife who will surpass Xu Huizhen!"

At noon, in the deaf old lady's room.

After having a hearty lunch with Yi Zhonghai and the deaf old lady, Qin Huairu planned to go to work at the steel mill in the afternoon.

Nowadays, the steel mill has strict attendance control. If you are absent, your salary will be deducted. Moreover, she is only an apprentice now, and her salary is not much. Now her family depends on this salary! She can't afford any loss.

Just as she walked out of the courtyard gate, Yi Zhonghai came to Qin Huairu and said, "Huairu, come with me."

After making sure that no one was paying attention, Yi Zhonghai took Qin Huairu's hand and led her to the depths of a secluded alley.

Qin Huairu asked with a puzzled look on her face: "Zhong Hai, what do you want?"

To outsiders, their relationship is that of an elder and a younger one, but Qin Huairu only calls him by his name when there is no one around, and "Zhonghai" is her nickname for him.

Yi Zhonghai rubbed his hands and said hesitantly: "The baby in your belly is already a few months old. I found a doctor who is a distant relative of mine. He can use ultrasound to identify whether it is a boy or a girl."

Yi Zhonghai has a very traditional view on the continuation of his bloodline. He continued: "It is a serious problem if I don't have offspring. If I give birth to a boy, I will have the bloodline passed on."

Qin Huairu felt very upset after hearing this. She frowned and asked, "Yi Zhonghai, what you mean is... if I gave birth to a girl, you would just abandon her and not care about her? Is it destined that a girl cannot be born? I don't have time to go with you to check an ultrasound! I have to go back to work."

After saying that, she walked straight towards the exit of the alley.

As a woman, Qin Huairu was very disgusted with Yi Zhonghai's remarks that favored boys over girls, and she also had her own little calculations in mind: the fetus in her belly had become her support, and at least now she could tie Yi Zhonghai firmly to her.

If they simply checked the baby's gender, it would be fine if it was a boy, but if it was a girl, it would be hard to say whether Yi Zhonghai would still be so caring towards her.

It would be more beneficial for her to continue maintaining this delicate relationship.

Seeing that Qin Huairu refused to check whether she was pregnant with a boy or a girl and wanted to leave, Yi Zhonghai quickly grabbed her arm with a flattering look on his face: "Huairu, why are you so anxious to reject me?"

"That's not what I meant. I just hope to know the gender of my baby as soon as possible."

Yi Zhonghai explained, pretending that he didn't care about the unborn child at the moment, and continued: "I don't have any children now, whether it's a boy or a girl, I can accept it."

Facing Qin Huairu who remained calm, Yi Zhonghai knew that his reason was not enough to convince her.

Yi Zhonghai decided to use his trump card and said, "As long as you accompany me to do an ultrasound examination, regardless of the gender of the child, I am willing to pay you 100 yuan! In addition, I will give you 10 yuan per month for nutrition expenses."

When Qin Huairu heard this, the anger on her face immediately dissipated, and she was replaced by a happy expression: "Hazhong, I know you are the most considerate to me!"

"Since you asked for it yourself, give me 100 yuan today and 10 yuan every month in the future. Don't lie to me!"

Yi Zhonghai was silent for a moment and then nodded heavily to show his agreement.

Yi Zhonghai knew Qin Huairu too well. She was a money-oriented person.

Once money is involved, Qin Huairu will do it without hesitation, even if it means doing something against her moral conscience, such as selling her own sister.

What’s more, it’s just a simple ultrasound examination?

Qin Huairu didn't think too much about it now. In fact, Yi Zhonghai's concern about the child's gender was already extraordinary.

In order to confirm the gender of the baby in Qin Huairu's belly, he was even willing to make an exception and spend money to do an ultrasound.

Originally, Qin Huairu was worried that Yi Zhonghai would not be as caring towards her as before because the gender of the child was different from the boy he wanted. But now that Yi Zhonghai has promised to pay ten yuan per month for nutrition expenses, she feels much more at ease. As for other things, what do they matter?

What's more, there is a high possibility that the baby in her belly is a boy. After all, her first child is the prodigal son Banggeng. If the examination shows that she is pregnant with a boy, maybe she can make more money from Yi Zhonghai. Such a thing is simply a profitable thing.

After understanding this, Qin Huairu smiled and said, "Zhong Hai, okay! Let's go to your relative's place to do an ultrasound examination! I'm also curious whether the baby in the belly is a boy or a girl."

Yi Zhonghai, who had already anticipated the result, immediately nodded in agreement and took Qin Huairu to the hospital.

They found the doctor of the distant relative. After Yi Zhonghai had a low conversation with the doctor, the doctor took Qin Huairu to the examination room and quietly did a check-up.

Soon, the doctor brought Qin Huairu out and whispered in Yi Zhonghai's ear, "Congratulations, Old Yi, she's pregnant with a boy!"

Upon hearing the good news that Qin Huairu was pregnant with a boy, Yi Zhonghai couldn't help but feel overjoyed.

Happiness came so suddenly that he was successful in love with Qin Huairu, and now he has a son.

Qin Huairu next to him looked at him proudly, as if to say: "See! My belly is still very good, and I gave birth to a child for your Yi family."

Yi Zhonghai quietly stuffed the red envelope he had prepared in advance into the pocket of this distant relative, the doctor, and left the hospital with a satisfied Qin Huairu in great excitement.

When they passed through a forest, looking at the plump Qin Huairu beside him, Yi Zhonghai suddenly thought that it might be a good idea to study how to write the word "Kun" here.

So he took Qin Huairu to a deserted place in the woods and wrote many "Kun" characters before stopping.

Looking at Qin Huairu's pregnant belly, Yi Zhonghai's frown became tighter and tighter. As his strength slowly recovered, an idea suddenly popped up in Yi Zhonghai's mind -

Qin Huairu was pregnant with his son, but he would have to take Jia Dongxu's surname in the future.

This is unavoidable. After all, in the eyes of outsiders, this is Jia Dongxu's son.

After all, in Dragon Country, for any family, the first son, or the eldest son, is always given more attention.

With the Jia family's existing resources and their preference for the eldest son Banggeng, even if Yi Zhonghai's son is born in the future, he may not be properly taken care of.

Therefore, in order to ensure that his children enjoy a better growth environment as soon as they are born, the existence of the stick stem seems a bit redundant.

It seems that he must find an appropriate time to make Banggeng lose his status as the eldest son in the Jia family.

This seems to require careful planning.

……

At the same time, in Xu's Tavern, He Yuzhu was chatting with Niu Ye and others in the tavern.

At this moment, a jeep suddenly stopped at the door of the tavern, and everyone looked towards the door curiously.

A handsome man wearing gold-rimmed glasses and a Zhongshan suit got out of the cab and walked towards the tavern.

When He Yuzhu saw the man for the first time, he smiled and greeted him: "Hey, Secretary Fang, long time no see!"

The person in front of him was none other than the big boss’s personal secretary—Secretary Fang.

Secretary Fang pushed his glasses and replied, "He Yuzhu, it's been a long time since we last met!"

He Yuzhu said, "Secretary Fang, did the boss ask you to come to me for another task? I know you are very busy every day and usually don't have time to come out."

Secretary Fang deliberately exaggerated: "Hey, you really have caught enemy spies! You have a really smart brain!"

He then continued, "Today I am under the order of the senior leader. Please come over and cook a table of food for the senior leader."

He Yuzhu understood it in his heart, but he did not answer directly. Instead, he found Manager Guo, the manager of the public office: "Manager Guo, the big boss asked me to cook. I ask you to help me ask for leave!"

Manager Guo smiled with a slightly respectful tone and said, "This is a task that the big boss has personally assigned to you. Just go! You must complete the big boss's task well! Don't worry about the things in the pub! Huizhen and I are here! Go quickly and don't make the big boss anxious!"

After getting Manager Guo's consent, He Yuzhu came to Xu Huizhen and joked, "Wife, I'll go out for a while!"

Xu Huizhen smiled and said, "Get out of here quickly! Don't make the leader anxious!"

After he greeted Xu Huizhen, he said to Fang's secretary, "Secretary Fang, let's go!"

Secretary Fang nodded happily, and the two of them got in the car and headed for the compound.

Soon, Secretary Fang brought He Yuzhu back to the long-missed residence of the big leader.

After parking the car, Secretary Fang instructed: "You have been to the kitchen of the big boss's house before, so just go there directly. The big boss and others are still in the meeting room, and the meeting should be over soon. Please move quickly. I will help you keep an eye on the meeting room and notify you as soon as the meeting is over!"

"Secretary Fang, I understand. Don't worry, I remember the way to the kitchen! I will prepare a table of dishes as soon as possible." He Yuzhu replied affirmatively.

He understood how difficult it was for Secretary Fang to make time to pick him up. He had some understanding of this. After all, Secretary Fang was the personal secretary of the big leader and had to stay by the big leader's side at all times.

He Yuzhu was about to walk towards the kitchen when he suddenly noticed another jeep coming outside the gate.

The two people who got out of the car were people he knew, and they were Xu Fugui and his son.

As a member of the steel rolling mill's projection team, Xu Fugui often went to the homes of various leaders to show movies, so this time he was familiar with the process of coming to the big leader's home.

In fact, Xu Damao came with his father this time because Xu Fugui wanted his son Xu Damao to better adapt to the job of projectionist. There was a trace of selfishness in his heart. He hoped that after he retired in the future, Xu Damao could continue to come to the leader's house to show movies, so as to narrow the distance between Xu Damao and the leader.

When Xu Fugui saw Secretary Fang waiting outside the door, he immediately brought Xu Damao over to greet him: "Secretary Fang, good afternoon!"

For Xu Damao, this was his first time to come to the big boss's residence. When he got off the car, he saw He Yuzhu was also there, so he ran over excitedly and greeted him: "He Yuzhu, why are you here? I guess the big boss asked you to cook?"

He Yuzhu smiled and confirmed: "Yes, Xu Damao, did you follow your father to show the movie to the leader?"

Xu Damao patted the projection equipment on his body proudly and replied arrogantly: "No! This is specially assigned by the big boss to let my dad come to his house to show movies. My dad is a regular customer here."

Secretary Fang was obviously dissatisfied with this guy who was so ostentatious when he came to the leader's house for the first time, and scolded him: "Don't worry about these trivial matters, just concentrate on the movie screening!"

Afterwards, Secretary Fang said to He Yuzhu in a friendly manner: "He Yuzhu, I'm sorry to trouble you again this time. If you have nothing else to do, you can go to the kitchen first."

He Yuzhu nodded in agreement and walked straight to the kitchen of the leader's house.
