Siheyuan, Kaiju replaced He Yuzhu as the chef

After hearing what the deaf old lady said, He Yuzhu's face instantly darkened. He looked around vigilantly, feeling uneasy, wondering if Lu Qing had noticed what he said.

He originally planned to tell the deaf old lady that he had found a backer and that the top leaders of the steel mill would stand by his side and help him.

But the current situation made him feel that these words were meaningless.

What if Lu Qing really knew? At this moment, the most pressing issue was how to pay back the money.

He couldn't help but ask, "Old lady, do you think I should return the money to Lu Qing?"

"Since you have already promised him, if you don't return it, you should know what the consequences will be, right?" the deaf old lady asked back.

"I...but I only have that little money on hand. If I give it back to him, how can I get married in the future?" He Yuzhu said helplessly.

"I told you not to be so impulsive, but you didn't listen. As a result, things turned out like this. What else can I do?" The deaf old lady was a little angry.

He Yuzhu was speechless. He realized that the deaf old lady was indeed very angry.

After all, she didn't want things to develop so quickly from the beginning. She thought Lu Qing was not a simple person, so she planned to take it slow and find out his background first.

Unexpectedly, He Yuzhu was so impatient that he had to create all these troubles, leaving them in a dilemma.

He Yuzhu regretted it very much. If he had known that the matter would be so difficult to resolve, he would never have been so reckless.

Now, he only has 600 yuan left. If he returns this money to Lu Qing, his life will be difficult.

Not to mention getting married, I don’t even have the money to prepare a dowry for my sister.

Plus, my salary is much lower than before, and I don’t know how long it will take to get enough money together.

"Old lady, do you really have no other choice?" he asked anxiously.

"No." The deaf old lady answered firmly.

"Then I can only give him the money?" He Yuzhu asked helplessly.

"What do you think? Can you think of any other solution?" the deaf old lady asked back.

"If I could have thought of it, I wouldn't have come to ask you." He Yuzhu said with a wry smile.

"Use your brain more when you do things in the future and don't be so reckless. Do you hear me?" said the deaf old lady earnestly.

"I understand." He Yuzhu lowered his head and accepted the criticism.

"Let's just consider this as a lesson." The deaf old lady sighed.

He Yuzhu felt a pang of pain in his heart when he thought about the savings he was about to lose.

However, in the current situation, he had no choice. If he didn't do it, Lu Qing would definitely not let him go.

Thinking of Lu Qing, he found the situation more and more difficult. If he didn't pay back the money, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"That's it." He Yuzhu said helplessly.

He went back to the room, took out the stack of money from under the mattress, and counted it carefully. It was exactly six hundred yuan.

This is the last bit of savings he has worked hard to accumulate over the years.

Now everything has to be handed over to Lu Qing, which makes him feel unwilling.

Holding the money tightly, He Yuzhu's eyes revealed resentment.

He swore in his heart: I give you the money today, but just wait, one day, I will make you return it with interest!

He Yuzhu took the money and left the backyard. The deaf old lady looked at his back and sighed deeply.

She knew that He Yuzhu felt very uncomfortable, but if she didn't do this now, Lu Qing would never let him go easily.

Now the only thing I can do is spend money to avoid disaster. I hope Shazhu can remember this lesson and not do anything stupid again.

He Yuzhu soon arrived at Lu Qing's door, glanced into the house, and saw Lu Qing eating.

He forced a smile on his face and shouted enthusiastically, "Lu Qing, I brought the money."

Lu Qing's wife Chen Wenhui looked up at him, then turned to Lu Qing with confusion in her eyes, as if she wanted to ask what the money was.

Lu Qing knocked on the table calmly and said, "Put it on the table."

"Okay." He Yuzhu walked into the house and his eyes fell on their sumptuous dinner.

The dishes on the table were delicious and had the best taste he had seen in a long time.

Although he had lost his ability to cook, he could still tell that the food must be very delicious.

Since losing his house and job, He Yuzhu has become very frugal in his diet.

When I was a cook in the cafeteria, I could bring back some good things from time to time.

Now that he no longer has the cooking skills, he can no longer stay in the cafeteria and can only live frugally.

Thinking about the money she had saved up over the years, and now having to give it to Lu Qing, she couldn't help feeling resentful.

Why should I use my own money to support Lu Qing? Why?

In an instant, He Yuzhu felt the urge to get the money back.

But as soon as he raised his head, he met Lu Qing's calm gaze. He suddenly felt a little scared and did not dare to hesitate any longer. He quickly put the money on the table.

"Well, I put the money here, you can count it."

Seeing He Yuzhu's complicated expression, Lu Qing smiled slightly and nodded: "I believe in your character, I won't lose a penny."

When He Yuzhu heard this, he became even more annoyed, but he still had to keep a smile on his face.

He thought that it would be a huge loss to continue paying like this, maybe he could take this opportunity to get some information and go back to ask the deaf old lady to help analyze what Lu Qing was up to.

He looked at the dishes on the table and pretended to be puzzled and asked, "Lu Qing, I have never understood where you learned your cooking skills. Can you tell me so that I can have a better idea?"

Lu Qing raised his eyebrows and chuckled, "Why, you want to learn too?"

"...Yes." He Yuzhu nodded, "I have lost my cooking skills and want to learn again. You learn so quickly, can you introduce a way to me?"

Lu Qing smiled and said, "Of course, but you have to prepare the tuition first. His tuition is not cheap."

He Yuzhu's heart tightened. Why was the topic of money brought up again? He gritted his teeth and asked, "How much does it cost?"

"Eight hundred yuan." Lu Qing replied with a smile.

He Yuzhu's eyes widened instantly. He didn't expect it to be another large sum of money.

Lu Qing continued, "As long as you have that much money, I will take you to him and you will learn it quickly."

He Yuzhu was penniless at the moment, and could only force a smile: "I...I'll think about it when I get back."
