Courtyard House: Starting in a Ceramics Factory

Chapter 306 He Yushui is angry
After Wu Na left, Li Feng's workload decreased considerably.

When she was working at the ceramics factory, Li Feng basically assisted Wu Na. Of course, Li Feng would also ask people from the finance department for help, because Li Feng was not very clear about these things, but he did all the work that needed to be done.

Now Li Feng's main task has become coordination, because he has already completed the work plan.

Tomorrow is Sunday.

Sha Zhu is going to throw a banquet for his younger sister to celebrate her graduation from university.

Yesterday, Li Feng saw the vegetable vendor deliver some vegetables to the courtyard house, but he wasn't sure about today.

When Li Feng was about to leave work, he went to Sha Zhu's house to ask about the situation and see what arrangements Sha Zhu would make.

Time flew by and it was already 5:30 in the afternoon. After finishing his lunch at the factory, Li Feng rode his bike home.

As for Li Feng's office, almost everyone had already left work.

Currently, although the project has reached the advancement stage, Li Feng has basically completed all the tasks assigned to him by Deputy Factory Director Zhu.

The rest can only be done slowly.

Around 6:40 PM
Li Feng returned to the courtyard house.

At this moment, Li Feng saw that many people were gathered around Sha Zhu's house in the courtyard.

Seeing this, Li Feng pushed the cart directly into the courtyard.

Li Feng then parked his bicycle next to his house.

At this moment, Li Feng saw Jia Zhangshi from the Jia family, Qin Huairu, several older women in the courtyard, and some children gathered around the door of Sha Zhu's house, helping to pick vegetables.

When Li Feng saw Jia Zhangshi, he stood a little further away with some disdain.

When Qin Huairu saw Li Feng, she smiled and greeted him.

Li Feng simply nodded slightly when Qin Huairu greeted him.

At first, Li Feng was somewhat puzzled as to why the Jia family had come to help Sha Zhu.

Then he suddenly remembered that in this era, even if there were spare moments, one still had to go to the master's house to help out when something big happened.

He and Sha Zhu sent Bang Geng to the police station, and then they implicated Jia Zhangshi. After Jia Zhangshi was detained for a while, she came out again to help Sha Zhu, which made him feel a little strange.

Generally speaking, one person from each family is enough.

But the Jia family produced two people.

Just as Li Feng was wondering about these questions, Sha Zhu happened to come out of his house.

As soon as Sha Zhu came out, he saw Li Feng standing to the side. So Sha Zhu bypassed the several middle-aged women and greeted Li Feng with a smile.

"Brother Li Feng, you're back."

After hearing Sha Zhu greet him, Li Feng nodded to Sha Zhu, then pulled Sha Zhu aside to a spot near his house and whispered something to him.

"What's going on with the Jia family?"

"Why did their whole family come to your house to help out?"

After hearing Li Feng's words, Sha Zhu sighed.

"Why".

"Wasn't this all arranged by the old man?"

"They said things like it's better to resolve conflicts than to let them fester, and then they said they're all neighbors who've lived here for a long time, and we see each other all the time. In the end, the old man advised me to ask them to come and help."

"Originally, it would have been fine if Qin Huairu had come, but I didn't expect Jia Zhangshi to have the audacity to come. Now I have to pay for hiring someone to do the work."

"After seeing Jia Zhangshi arrive, Yu Shui was still angry with me."

Upon hearing this, Li Feng glanced towards Sha Zhu's house but didn't see He Yushui. He then asked, somewhat puzzled.

"What about the rainwater?"

He then pointed to the backyard.

"She went to keep the deaf old lady company."

When Li Feng heard the deaf old lady's name, he seemed somewhat dazed.

I've been here since October last year, which means it's been almost a year now.

But I've only seen the deaf old lady a few times.

And they basically only met briefly; those few times, it was mostly Sha Zhu carrying the deaf old lady out.

As for what Sha Zhu was doing carrying the deaf old lady out, Li Feng basically never asked.

After all, there's not much I really need to ask.

Now that Li Feng heard that He Yushui had gone to keep the deaf old lady company, he immediately asked Sha Zhu.

"So He Yushui went to the deaf old lady because she was angry with you?"

Sha Zhu nodded helplessly.

"yes!".

"Why!".

"Rainwater is so inconsiderate."

Li Feng said to Sha Zhu, somewhat speechless.

"That's not called being immature, that's called having your own personality, you know?"

“Such a personality makes it difficult for someone to be bullied. Last time, He Yushui was beaten up, and Wen Hui was able to fight with Jia Zhangshi for Yushui’s sake. You, as the older brother, are a good example.”

"I don't even want to talk about you."

"It's obvious that Yushui doesn't want to see Jia Zhangshi right now, yet you still agreed to let that old man bring her over. Is that old man your father?"

"You're so filial?"

Sha Zhu then explained to Li Feng, somewhat embarrassed.

"I'm just embarrassed!"

"I didn't want to ask her for help in the first place."

"She was lazy and slack off at work, and I also saw her putting the vegetables in her own food every now and then."

"That Jia Zhangshi is absolutely despicable."

As Sha Zhu finished speaking, an angry look appeared on his face.

Li Feng was speechless at what Sha Zhu had done. He looked around and then asked Sha Zhu.

"Wenhui didn't see it, did she?"

Silly Zhu said.

"Wenhui is working the night shift at the factory today, but she said she'll come over to help tomorrow morning."

Li Feng nodded.

Li Feng then told Sha Zhu to be careful, since Wen Hui and He Yushui had both had conflicts with the Jia family.

If Wen Hui were to see that Sha Zhu had invited Jia Zhangshi and Qin Huairu over to help, Li Feng estimated that Sha Zhu's life would definitely be difficult.

Next

Li Feng asked Sha Zhu if he needed any help.

Sha Zhu then asked Li Feng to entertain the guests.

After all, in Sha Zhu's opinion, it was too beneath Li Feng's current status to do manual labor.

If Li Feng were to help him with welcoming and seeing off guests, Sha Zhu would feel that he would be very prestigious.

After all, Li Feng was a cadre.

Isn't it more prestigious to have your officials help you entertain guests?

So Sha Zhu directly told Li Feng his thoughts, and Li Feng did not object to what Sha Zhu said.

It's only right that I help out at the graduation banquet for students born on a rainy day.

Regardless, Yushui getting into university is something to celebrate.

At this moment, Li Feng nodded directly to Sha Zhu.

"Alright!"

"Have you bought the cigarettes yet?"

Sha Zhu quickly nodded to Li Feng in response.

"I've bought it!"

"I've bought it!"

"These are all good cigarettes!"

Then Sha Zhu pulled a pack of Daqianmen cigarettes out of his pocket.

Li Feng was somewhat surprised when he saw the large bottle of liquor in Sha Zhu's hand.

"Yo!"

"Daqianmen!"

"sure!".

"How did you do that?"

Sha Zhu chuckled and whispered to Li Feng.

"I got it from the black market. You know I don't have that many cigarette coupons, so I just got some Daqianmen cigarettes directly from the black market. That should be enough for tomorrow." "Brother, you can use Daqianmen tomorrow."

Li Feng nodded.

"Alright!"

Anyway, Li Feng had no problem with the job of greeting guests and offering cigarettes.

Sha Zhu doesn't have many relatives in Beijing. Li Feng basically knows only a few of them. As for the rest, they are some people from Sha Zhu's factory and people from the courtyard.

At this point, Li Feng asked Sha Zhu how many tables to set up, and Sha Zhu replied to Li Feng.

"I roughly estimated before that we would need to set up about five tables."

Li Feng nodded.

"Alright!"

"Then I'll get up earlier tomorrow."

"I'm going back now."

After Li Feng finished speaking, he prepared to push his bicycle into his room. Just as Li Feng was about to enter the room, Sha Zhu immediately reminded him.

"Brother, remember to wear your cadre uniform."

Li Feng replied directly.

"understood".

Li Feng then pushed his bicycle back to his house.

After parking his bicycle, Li Feng lay down on the bed.

Tomorrow is Sunday.

He Yushui's graduation banquet is scheduled for noon, so she should be able to finish everything before 3 p.m.

After finishing all his work, Li Feng prepared to go find Ding Qiunan.

The time I had arranged with He Yushui last time was in the afternoon.

So I'll hardly get any rest tomorrow.

It was still quite lively outside at that time.

It's been a long time since a wedding has been held in the courtyard.

A graduation banquet is considered a joyous occasion, as it means you can have a big feast.

Li Feng was certain that there were many people who were starving at this time, just in preparation for the graduation banquet tomorrow at noon.

However, this kind of behavior is quite normal in this era.

At this moment, Li Feng lay down on the bed to rest for a while.

He was about to take a shower and go to bed.

The weather is still very hot, so it's normal to sweat a lot.

the other side

Sha Zhu went to the backyard to find his sister.

Rain is the main event tomorrow. If my sister doesn't show up tomorrow because she's angry, then all my efforts will have been in vain.

So Sha Zhu quickly arrived at the deaf old lady's room.

At this moment, Sha Zhu knocked on the door of the deaf old lady's house, and the deaf old lady let Sha Zhu in.

When Sha Zhu went inside, he found his sister sitting by the deaf old lady's bed.

After Sha Zhu greeted the deaf old lady, he spoke to his sister He Yushui.

"rainwater!".

"Don't be angry."

"Go back."

"Tomorrow is your graduation celebration."

"If you're not here, what's the point of me holding this graduation celebration?"

Hearing her brother's words, He Yushui couldn't help but feel annoyed and said to him.

"Anyway, I'm not going. I just can't stand seeing that old woman, Jia Zhangshi."

“They bullied me like that last time, and you still invited them over.”

"How can I not be angry?"

"Are you still my brother?"

"My sister-in-law treats me better than you do."

After saying this, He Yushui angrily turned her head to the side.

Sha Zhu quickly began to explain to He Yushui.

"Wasn't this something an old man mediated?"

"If I don't agree, wouldn't that be disrespecting this old man?"

After hearing Sha Zhu's explanation, He Yushui turned around and shouted at him.

“You listen to whatever the old man says.”

"Brother, you're not that old man's son. You listen to everything he says. Why don't you go be his son then!"

"When the Jia family beat me up last time, Uncle said to let it go. If it weren't for your wife and Brother Feng, would you have let it go?"

He Yushui's words left Sha Zhu speechless.

When He Yushui saw that her brother was not speaking, she felt as if something was pressing down on her chest. She tried to control her emotions, but she felt that she couldn't.

A few days ago, He Yushui felt that her brother was very good to her, but now she only feels angry about her brother's behavior.

She's really angry right now.

Seeing He Yushui trembling with anger at Sha Zhu, the deaf old woman moved anxiously to He Yushui's side and gently stroked He Yushui's back with her wrinkled right hand.

Then she began to persuade He Yushui.

"rainwater".

"Don't be angry."

"Your brother, don't you understand?"

That's just how he is.

Then the deaf old lady glared at Sha Zhu.

"Silly Zhu, aren't you going to apologize to the rain?"

Upon hearing the deaf old lady's words, Sha Zhu quickly apologized to He Yushui.

"rainwater!".

"Don't be angry with your brother."

"I'll have them leave in a bit, is that alright?"

He Yushui completely ignored Sha Zhu.

Clearly, He Yushui was not satisfied with the outcome of Sha Zhu's case.

When Sha Zhu saw that He Yushui was ignoring him, he felt that he was in a difficult situation.

At this moment, he couldn't help but wonder, if he wasn't satisfied with letting them leave He Yushui, what did his sister want?
So Sha Zhu walked up to He Yushui and asked his sister directly.

"rainwater!".

"Just tell me what we should do."

"I promise I'll listen to you, okay?"

At this moment, the deaf old lady also tried to persuade He Yushui.

"Rain, Pillar will listen to you, so just tell me how you can calm down."

He Yushui then turned her head. Although she was angry that her brother had listened to Uncle and invited the two from the Jia family, she was still afraid that her sister-in-law would find out about this. If her sister-in-law found out, she would definitely be angry.

If his sister-in-law gets angry, it's uncertain whether she'll even talk to his brother. In the end, He Yushui is still angry at her brother's behavior.

Knowing full well that he and his sister-in-law disliked them, he still invited them over.

Isn't this just deliberately trying to annoy people?

And what good would it do if the old man tried to persuade him?
Do we have to listen to him?
Isn't that just asking for trouble?
Most importantly, his brother wasn't his son, yet his brother spoke to the old man as if it were an imperial edict, which made He Yushui very angry.

Last time, my brother almost let Banggeng and Jia Zhangshi go after being persuaded by an old man.

If it weren't for my sister-in-law and Brother Feng...

He Yushui felt like she was going to be driven crazy by her brother.

At this moment, He Yushui directly addressed her brother, Shazhu.

"Then you should send them away now."

"It's okay if I'm angry, but it's if my sister-in-law finds out about this."

"I'll see if my sister-in-law will still marry you by then."
