Siheyuan: Me! He Yuzhu defies fate and changes destiny

Facing He Yuzhu's explanation, Yi Zhonghai was speechless for a moment. He just stared at He Yuzhu and said, "How could you do this? We were all neighbors in the same compound. Although you don't live there now, we are old neighbors after all. What good does it do for you to target me like this?" He Yuzhu replied, "I didn't mean to target you. Didn't I just say that my wife was short of materials, so she used our story. I didn't pursue your past. If we were not in the same compound, you would have been finished with what you did. Now that you can still work normally, it shows that I have been tolerant enough. Besides, aren't you afraid of being exposed for doing these things? If you didn't do these things at the time, why would you be afraid of being talked about by others? If people don't want to know, it's only because they don't do it. Since you did it, you will be exposed sooner or later!"

Yi Zhonghai was at a loss for words and seemed very helpless. He understood that moral condemnation needs an object, but now He Yuzhu no longer lives in the compound or in the steel mill, and he can't find a suitable object to vent. Thinking of the steel mill, Yi Zhonghai asked again: "Forget about what you wrote about me, why did you involve the steel mill?" He Yuzhu was stunned and replied: "I didn't write the specific factory name, nor did I mention the Red Star Courtyard. I used pseudonyms. As for how your story spread, I don't know!" At this time, a bystander shouted: "Yes, I read the newspaper, and it was indeed written about the Third Steel Mill and the Collective Courtyard, but not about you, Master Yi!" Yi Zhonghai looked back and saw that there were people everywhere who were joining in the fun, but he couldn't find the person who was talking.

He Yuzhu said calmly: "You see, maybe you didn't read my wife's article carefully. As for involving the steel mill, it was not my intention."

There are so many steel mills in the capital, but the Red Star Steel Mill was found right away. Someone asked why no one mentioned other steel mills.

For example, Shengli Steel Rolling Mill and Triumph Steel Rolling Mill also have eighth-level fitters.

Besides, when I wrote this, you had just been promoted to an eighth-level fitter. In order to prevent readers from guessing it was you, I just wrote "eighth-level fitter" in general. But when the affairs of the two families were exposed, you were not an eighth-level fitter!"

After hearing He Yuzhu's explanation, people around him started talking:

"That's right, Yi Zhonghai's name wasn't mentioned in the article."

"Yeah, I don't know either. Afterwards, some people said it was Yi Zhonghai's fault. At that time, Yi Zhonghai had just been promoted to level eight fitter. Didn't anyone question it?"

"How should I know? I first heard that this was Teacher Yi's experience, and then I read it in the newspaper."

"Yes, me too!"

"Me too, I bought the newspaper because I knew about Yi Zhonghai's situation!"

Seeing everyone's reaction, He Yuzhu spread his hands, looking innocent, and explained:

"Teacher Yi, you've seen that my family always keeps their word. If we say we won't pursue the matter, then we won't. I just published this as material. You have to ask who connected this matter with you. This matter has nothing to do with us. If I had wanted to target you, your affairs and name would have been exposed long ago.

We just wanted to tell an interesting story.

As for targeting you, it may be a bit exaggerated to say that you really don't have the qualifications.

I am 24 years old, but I am already a first-class engineer, a nationally recognized and certified first-class engineer.

Tell me, you are a newly promoted eighth-level fitter. Why should I target you?

Given my current position, if I really wanted to mess with you, I would write your name directly or even find someone to deal with you.

But I haven't done any of these things, and the steel mill is still promoting you as a role model.

They wanted to set the standard for eighth-level fitter on you, but this is your own problem. It was you who reported them... but in the end, they didn't catch anyone and instead got their legs broken.

These have nothing to do with me, you should go find the person who said these things and investigate.”

After hearing what He Yuzhu said, Yi Zhonghai was speechless for a moment. He Yuzhu still said jokingly:

"Teacher Yi, you are not a child anymore. People just say a few words and it will pass. After a while, the heat will die down.

You wouldn't really go and fight with someone, would you?" Yi Zhonghai responded somewhat helplessly:

"It wasn't about fighting. I didn't argue with anyone else."

He Yuzhu looked at Yi Zhonghai's injuries, shook his head and said:

"Tsk tsk tsk, Teacher Yi, I didn't expect you to have such a personality. Fighting is fighting.

Xu Damao and I used to fight, but that was when we were kids. Whenever we fought, I would admit it. "

"What else are you embarrassed to admit about your fight?" Yi Zhonghai shouted angrily:

"Stop talking, I really didn't fight. I've already said that someone else beat me up, and I don't even know who beat me up!"

He Yuzhu pretended to have just learned about this: "Ah? There are still such unscrupulous people? Who did you offend?" After hearing what He Yuzhu said, the people around him immediately started to shout:

"That's right, Master Yi must have offended someone. He wasn't beaten up in one day, but for half a month!"

When Yi Zhonghai heard this, he felt ashamed and uncomfortable, but he also understood that these were all facts. Although He Yuzhu knew very well what had happened, he still asked with a sly smile:

"Grandpa, I just don't understand. As long as this kind of thing is not too excessive, no one will report it. Besides, life is so difficult now, some people take out their extra food to exchange for money, and the rich use it to buy food. This is understandable. Although it is illegal, the Public Security Bureau has known about the situation for so many years. If this kind of transaction is completely banned, more people will starve to death. Why didn't you figure this out at the beginning? In the compound, if someone dared to report this kind of thing, you would fight to the death with the other party. Now you have become the one who reported it?"

Yi Zhonghai was so angry when he heard these words. He Yuzhu's words were like a knife stabbing into his heart. He stared at He Yuzhu coldly, and He Yuzhu stared back at him without showing any weakness.

Yi Zhonghai looked at He Yuzhu and suddenly felt extremely regretful. If he had treated He Yuzhu better earlier and not been greedy for the 2.2 yuan living allowance, he wouldn't have ended up in this situation now. He Yushui is now a well-known figure. Although he doesn't often go to the company, Yi Zhonghai heard from Song Ziyu that whenever there is something delicious at the company, He Yuzhu will ask his wife to bring it to He Yushui even if he doesn't go there himself.

Thinking of this, Yi Zhonghai was full of envy and jealousy towards He Daqing. He envied He Daqing for having such a good son, and envied He Daqing for his comfortable life. He Yuzhu was not only promising, but also married a virtuous young wife, and had a lovely and sensible daughter, He Yuqing. Many people in the factory liked this little girl, she had a sweet mouth and was very well-behaved. If you had such a child, you would wake up with a smile in your dreams, right?

Yi Zhonghai suddenly lost interest in continuing the argument. Even if the other party was targeting him, so what? What if he was not targeting him? He was in this state now, so what would happen even if he was found out? Others' families were harmonious and happy, but he had nothing.

Thinking of this, Yi Zhonghai instantly lost his spirit and looked listless. He Yuzhu didn't expect that Yi Zhonghai would be so hit that he gave up directly. However, thinking that he had plotted against him many times, He Yuzhu felt a little comforted.

Although He Yuzhu was calculating, he didn't say much when he saw Yi Zhonghai like this. He just watched him leave coldly with contempt on his face.

He said to his father He Daqing:

"Dad, are you free these days?"

He Daqing shook his head when he heard this:

"I've been very busy lately, but your mother should be fine. After all, recruitment has stopped and there's nothing important in the Human Resources Department. It should be fine for her to leave work early or take a day off. Do you want to have a family dinner?" He Yuzhu nodded:

"It's nothing serious, just a get-together for a meal and a drink." He Daqing also nodded to show his understanding:

"You guys go ahead. I won't go. The cafeteria has become overloaded with work because of the food shortage. I have to keep an eye on it and make sure nothing goes wrong. Otherwise, people will really fight for a bite of food."

He Yuzhu reminded:

"Dad, don't take any risks. Some things can only be dealt with after the situation calms down. You are old now, don't get hurt by mistake!"

Although He Daqing has improved a lot compared to before, he is still a self-protective person and will never rashly participate. He just makes sure that the order of the cafeteria is not affected. If damaged items are damaged, they must be compensated, otherwise it will be deducted from the salary. Therefore, every time he encounters such a situation, He Daqing handles it according to this method.

"I understand, and I'm not stupid, so I won't rush over. Besides, there are people from the security department, so it's not my turn to manage them. I'm only responsible for assessing the losses and reporting to the factory afterwards. The person who did it will ultimately be held responsible. If you want to avoid punishment, don't mess around. After several punishments, almost no one dared to do it here anymore. After all, it's better to buy some food with some money. You can't get anything good here, just some rotten porridge and leftovers."

In He Daqing's view, these rotten porridges might be life-saving food in the eyes of others. With them, the people at home might be able to avoid hunger.

The leaders knew about these situations, but there was nothing they could do. The steel mill did not have any extra food. If they had, they would not have punished the workers for snatching food. But if they did not punish them, the management of the factory would become even more chaotic. In desperation, they could only punish them.

He Yuzhu also understood this situation, but the situation in the Seventh Bureau where he worked was better, because Gu Zhiqiu had farming, and other places had no harvest, but they had a good harvest. So whether the employees of the Seventh Bureau were temporary workers or regular workers, they could guarantee food and clothing. That's right, the people in the Seventh Bureau had no worries about food.

After all, there were not many people in Group 7, so the food allocated to them was naturally abundant. However, He Yuzhu did not take the food home because his family had always eaten fine food.
