Siheyuan: Cooking journey

Chapter 152 The World Is Darker

It definitely won’t work.

The third uncle had a serious look on his face.

We have to figure out a solution.

Inexplicably.

A light bulb went off in the third uncle's head and he thought of Ran Qiuye.

If He Yuzhu divorced and remarried, Yu Li would be helpless even if she had any ulterior motives.

Early the next morning.

He Yushui took the transfer notice and reported to the steel rolling mill.

He Yuzhu got up later.

While I was brushing my teeth and washing my face, Qin Jingru was washing clothes by the tap.

Her fair and clean face was always lowered, as if she was quite shy.

I encountered it last night when I came to pick up the two children. It was the same as last night.

He Yuzhu glanced at her, didn't say anything, washed up quickly and went to work.

The deputy director’s power is gone.

But the position of canteen director is still there.

A useless sword.

He Yuzhu didn't take it too seriously.

It doesn’t matter whether you have it or not.

When I had the sword, I would always ask Director Yang to help me with ideas when I had problems.

It’s gone, and it won’t cause any trouble. If you have any problem, just go to Director Yang.

After the canteen opens.

As usual, He Yuzhu took a walk around the kitchen. Instead of going to the office to drink tea or read the newspaper, he went for a stroll in the sweet potato field.

Over the years, the steel produced by the steel rolling mill has been of high quality and famous throughout the country.

The sweet potatoes grown at the steel mill are big and sweet, and are very famous.

Director Yang was praised for this and reported it several times.

The factories in the city followed suit.

In addition to working and studying, the workers also started farming as a side job, which became a popular trend.

In the front yard.

The third uncle is getting ready to go to work.

The third aunt ran over and said, "Master, guess what, Yu Haitang and Yu Li stayed in that room all night."

"what!"

The third uncle's face turned pale and he said angrily:

"Yu Li is really something. She didn't pay the rent and let people stay overnight without permission. When she gets off work today, I have to ask her for the rent."

"Why bother about the rent at this time? It's a big deal."

The three aunts looked sad:

"I asked Yu Li out of curiosity why Yu Haitang came to live here. Yu Li said she wanted to introduce Yu Haitang to He Yuzhu. She was there to do some matchmaking last night."

"So, we were thinking the wrong thing last night."

The third uncle took a breath and said, "I told you, Yu Li has been a very honest person these years, how could she have such little thoughts."

"I say, how come you, the boss, get confused at the critical moment?"

The third aunt said anxiously, "Even if Yu Li didn't mean that, Yu Haitang is her biological sister. If she gets together with He Yuzhu and Yu Li wants a divorce, how can Yu Haitang help our family if she doesn't help her?"

The third uncle's expression suddenly became serious.

The thought that came to my mind last night came back to my mind.

Although I don’t know how He Yuzhu and Ran Qiuye met or how they broke up.

But in the past few years, Ran Qiuye has been asking about He Yuzhu's news, and it is obvious that she still has him in her heart.

He Yuzhu is divorced now. When he told Ran Qiuye about this, based on their previous relationship, there is a high possibility that the two of them will be together.

As soon as Ran Qiuye arrived, Yu Li’s little plans would be in vain.

But why do this kind of thing?

The third uncle thought about it and finally gave up. He just planned to ask his family to keep a close eye on Yu Li and not give her any chances.

After all, when it comes down to it.

The second son of the family, Yan Jiefang, also lost his job and suffered because of He Yuzhu.

Although I understand that I am in the wrong, I can't blame others for my own mistakes.

But there is a difference between close and distant relatives. It would be a lie to say that I have no resentment towards He Yuzhu.

That’s more than 20 yuan a month, and the pillar of the family has fallen.

If you don't think about how to cheat someone, it's because you can't afford to offend them. If you try to scheme against them, that's not scheming, that's asking for trouble.

However, even if he didn't cheat, how could he do such a thing which was obviously good for He Yuzhu?

There is no reason why the left side of his face was swollen while the right side was still smiling.

The third uncle felt that as a scholar, he should have some backbone.

But things are different now.

If Yu Haitang and He Yuzhu really got together, Yu Li would have the courage to divorce.

She didn't dare to divorce because she was still working in her boss's class. If she divorced, the factory could sue her and she would lose her job.

With He Yuzhu, the deputy director, as a backer, things are different. Changing jobs is just a matter of a word, and there is no point in suing.

After divorce, you have one less salary.

That's more than ten yuan a month, plus miscellaneous income, rent and the like, plus the cost of more than thirty steamed buns, it would be twenty yuan. I've already lost one salary, and now I'll have ten less.

It's worse than the sky falling.

The relationship between Yu Haitang and He Yuzhu must be ruined.

The more the third uncle thought about it, the more he felt that this kind of thing must not be allowed to happen, otherwise, it would be the end of his life.

Just to bring Ran Qiuye and He Yuzhu together.

I felt quite uncomfortable and not very happy about it.

He frowned and thought about it.

The third uncle breathed a sigh of relief.

We can't always think of the worst in this matter.

The key is to do the math and see if there are any benefits. You can't live without benefits, otherwise, you would be stupid.

If Ran Qiuye and He Yuzhu get together, there are many benefits if you think about it carefully.

As the matchmaker, Ran Qiuye will definitely be grateful, and his family will naturally benefit a lot.

Besides, it can also ease the relationship with He Yuzhu.

Apart from anything else, after this is done, we can go fishing together and the family will never have to worry about having no fish to eat. It is so difficult to find a job nowadays. In a few years, when the third brother Yan Jiekuang has grown up, it will be easy to arrange for him to work in a steel rolling mill.

The most important thing is that if Ran Qiuye and He Yuzhu get together, Ayu will be considered as their own family. Yu Li would not dare to divorce even if she has any ulterior motives, unless she gives up her job.

The more he thought about it, the happier the third uncle felt.

What is calculation? Being able to turn bad things into good things is the real skill.

This little girl Yu Li is so naive.

Still want to fly away from the Yan family? Really, you are overestimating your own abilities.

The third uncle was very proud. He comforted the third aunt with a few words and then went to school.

When I arrived at school, I saw Ran Qiuye still sweeping the floor.

The third uncle walked forward and sighed without saying much:

"This weather, who knows what tomorrow will be like, Zhuzi is divorced... He Yuzhu is divorced!"

Ran Qiuye's body shook, and he felt that the gray world suddenly became bright.

I couldn't help but want to find him.

But then, the world dimmed again.

Ran Qiuye felt bitter and dazed.

I went to find him because I missed him and wanted to see him. But times have changed.

He is now in a high position of power.

I myself have become ordinary.

How would he see it and how would he believe it?

I'm afraid it will just be regarded as a joke.

Otherwise, why did they separate when they were chefs in the first place?

The light of hope is coming.

Ran Qiuye felt that the world was getting darker

Because, he is there.

But she couldn't get through.

It's lunch time at the steel mill.

The canteen began to become lively and workers lined up in long queues.

At this moment, the cafeteria is the noisiest.

In comparison, this is the most relaxing moment.

At least that's what Yu Li thinks. As the kitchen foreman, once the big pot of dishes is cooked, she basically has nothing to do.

She also understood that He Yuzhu had nothing to do and was stuck in the office drinking tea and reading documents.

Yu Li glanced at the other colleagues in the kitchen.

Quietly, Yu Li walked towards the cafeteria's office.

The entire canteen is an integrated building.

There is a box in the front and a staff window in the back.

The office is located in the middle, and usually not many people pass by, so it is very quiet.

The footsteps gradually approached.

Yu Li's heart beat faster and faster. She had already made up her mind. Once she entered the office, she would rush directly and simply towards He Yuzhu.

Her heartbeat quickened as she gained conviction.

Arrived at the office.

Yu Li took a deep breath, pushed the door open and walked in with great anticipation, but was stunned.

He Yushui was sitting at his desk, seemingly recording something.

"Sister Yu, why are you here? Is there something wrong?"

He Yushui was slightly surprised to see her come in and greeted her with a smile.

Living in the same yard, the two are quite familiar with each other.

"No, nothing serious. Are you busy?"

Yu Li tried hard to hide her disappointment and forced a smile.

"Where's Director He?"

"I don't know where he went. By the way, I've been transferred to work in the canteen. I'm completely clueless about this account book and don't know where to start. Can you teach me..."

"Okay, if you have any questions, just ask me..."

Yu Li chatted with He Yushui perfunctorily for a few words.

After leaving, she felt suffocated and wanted to vent.

I just want to cook a meal, why is it so difficult?

In the courtyard, two little girls were guarding and Qin Huairu was watching.

In the cafeteria, there is also He Yushui, the younger sister, guarding the place.

It feels even more difficult than when Lou Xiao'e was here.

The more she thought about it, the more aggrieved Yu Li felt.

The big, white and plump steamed buns are so big that I don’t even have the chance to give them away.

And there is no way around it.

Yu Li was in a low mood the whole afternoon.

When she got off work, she finally made up her mind.

Let her sister Yu Haitang go, and not to mention anything else, first make He Yuzhu her brother-in-law. Once he becomes her brother-in-law, he will be free of constraints and it will be much more convenient for her to help her sister take care of him. This is what she planned.

Yu Li's mood became happy again. After all, she was much taller than her sister, and He Yuzhu should be happy to be taken care of.

When Lou Xiao'e was around, I felt embarrassed to do anything because I had been indebted to her.

Now that Lou Xiao'e is divorced, to repay her kindness, she must take good care of He Yuzhu, ensure that he has three meals a day, and not let him go hungry. The factory's off-get off work announcement rang.

Yu Li did not work overtime and stood at the factory gate waiting for her sister Yu Haitang.

When I go back today, I have to do some matchmaking.

As long as the sisters are united, no matter how scheming Qin Huairu is, it will be useless.

After waiting for a long time, Yu Haitang finally appeared.

Just as Yu Li was about to speak, Yu Haitang raised her chin and said unhappily:

"I'm not going. Didn't you read the announcement? He Yuzhu is no longer the deputy director, and he's still involved with the Lou family. There will be big trouble. If I marry him now, I'll be asking for trouble. I'm not that stupid."

Yu Li frowned and looked at her.

I am really mad at this sister. She always acts on impulse.

However, we still have to rely on her. Yu Li suppressed her anger and said patiently:

"Don't worry, He Yuzhu is still the canteen director and has a good relationship with Director Yang. With Director Yang around, there won't be any trouble."

Everyone working in the canteen knew that He Yuzhu had a close relationship with Director Yang.

Yu Li was even more aware of this. She had heard about the announcement and everything, but she didn't take it to heart at all.

As long as Director Yang is fine, He Yuzhu will be fine.

"You don't understand at all."

Yu Haitang said proudly and confidently: "Director Yang can't save him from this trouble. He will be in trouble soon."

Yu Li was too lazy to talk. She was really impressed by her sister.

This vision is too short-sighted.

Things haven't even happened yet, but I'm already worried about it becoming like this.

Yu Li didn't want to pay attention to her, but she was counting on her to marry He Yuzhu to help, so she took a breath and said seriously:

“I am your biological sister, how could I harm you?

He Yuzhu is still the canteen director, which proves that there is no problem;

If there is any trouble, that is another matter, but it is not as serious as you think."

Yu Haitang curled her lips: "He is now, but he may not be soon, just wait and see."

"Okay, I have nothing more to say. I just want to stay away from this kind of person. I also advise you to draw a clear line with him as soon as possible, otherwise, trouble will find you."

After saying this, Yu Haitang walked away with a haughty look.

"you……"

Yu Li looked at her back, feeling angry and helpless.

No matter how good the plan is, it will be useless if my sister doesn't agree.

…………

In the courtyard.

Qin Jingru was playing with Xiao Huaihua.

Xu Damao was passing by after get off work. When he saw this strange and beautiful girl, he was attracted and went over to chat with her: "Are you a relative of Qin Huairu's family?"

"Qin Huairu is my cousin, what do you want?"

Qin Jingru glanced at him and inexplicably disliked this man whose face was almost as pale as hers, so she couldn't help but take a step back.

"Nothing."

Xu Damao smiled amiably, his eyes narrowed into slits, and asked, "Does your cousin intend to introduce you to Sha Zhu, er, He Yu Zhu?"

"Ah."

Thinking of He Yuzhu's handsome appearance, Qin Jingru blushed slightly and nodded softly.

"It really is……"

Xu Damao muttered to himself, his eyes flickering.

There was a strange girl in Qin Huairu's house. With his intelligence, it was easy for him to guess that it must be Qin Huairu who asked casually when introducing a date to Sha Zhu. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be Sha Zhu.

The revenge for having my wife stolen from me is still in my heart. If possible, I really want to marry this girl and take her home to get even with her.

But even if I don't marry her, it can be considered revenge if I can ruin their good fortune.

Silly Zhu, just wait.

As long as I, Xu Damao, am here, you'd better be prepared to be single for the rest of your life.

Xu Damao secretly became angry, thought for a moment, and said sincerely and solemnly:

"You may not know yet, but this He Yuzhu is not a good person."

"Your cousin Qin Huairu has been having an affair with him for a long time;

"Think about it, if you and He Yuzhu are together, and your cousin is doing something unclear with him behind your back, how would you feel? Your cousin introduced you to He Yuzhu with bad intentions."

"You are talking nonsense."

Qin Jingru frowned and looked at him warily, her face full of disbelief.

"I'm just talking nonsense. If you don't believe me, ask the neighbors around you whether He Yuzhu had an ambiguous relationship with your cousin in the past."

Xu Damao straightened his back confidently and said proudly, "Besides, you can ask around. I, Xu Damao, always keep my word. I have a good reputation. I am upright, honest and reliable. I never tell lies."

"Are you Xu Damao?" Qin Jingru looked panicked and pulled Xiao Huaihua back several steps.

"Why? Have you heard of me?"

Xu Damao was a little curious and felt it was strange. What was the reason for her reaction?
