Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

When the people in the courtyard saw Qin Jingru come out, they stopped her and asked her about her situation.

Qin Jingru was simple-minded and thought the people in the courtyard were quite nice, so she told them about her situation.

Then, the people in the courtyard also remembered the name Qin Jingru.

"Young lady, how old are you this year?"

Qin Jingru was still a little angry when she thought about what those people in the alley had said earlier.

She emphasized, "I'm only twenty-two years old this year."

Upon hearing this, the people in the courtyard looked at each other in bewilderment.

Everyone knows that Qin Huairu initially strangled Wu Tiezhu. But no one could have imagined that Qin Huairu would actually use a young girl to keep him on his toes.

Qin Jingru sensed something was wrong and asked, "Auntie, what's wrong? Is there something wrong with my age?"

"No. I just didn't expect you to be so young."

Just kidding, neither of the two widows in the Jia family are easy to mess with, and nobody wants to offend them.

Unable to get an answer from Qin Jingru, and needing to go to the restroom urgently, he ran out.

The people in the courtyard began to whisper among themselves, occasionally turning to look at Wu Tiezhu's house.

However, both Wu Tiezhu and his wife were at work, and their eldest son had gone to school, leaving only a baby who knew nothing.

The people in the courtyard lost interest once they realized that Wu Tiezhu was already married.

"She's at the age where Liberation is supposed to be getting married, shouldn't she?" someone said, looking at the third aunt.

The third aunt looked displeased: "Don't look at me, Jiecheng is not suitable for our family."

There's no quota for girls in the countryside; our family can't afford to raise them.

Knowing the Yan family's stingy nature, everyone knew that the Yan family would not agree.

Then everyone's attention turned to the two older women. Both of them had suitable candidates in their families.

The second aunt also refused, saying, "It's not up to me. It's up to my husband, Lao Liu."

The remaining older woman was also unhappy. No one knew Qin Huairu better than her.

She didn't really want a daughter from the Qin family.

But Qin Jingru is just too beautiful. This middle-aged woman doesn't know if Miao Jianye will even be interested.

Seeing that everyone was looking at her, she said, "Our family doesn't have a good relationship with the Jia family."

After thinking about it, everyone stopped looking at the old lady.

Even if the two families had a good relationship, Miao Jianye wouldn't be able to get married easily.

The reason is obvious to everyone.

If you offend Yi Zhonghai, don't even think about getting married easily.

When Qin Jingru returned from the restroom, the person who had been quite enthusiastic towards her just moments before immediately became cold.

Qin Jingru was puzzled, but there was nothing he could do.

Soon, the factory workers went home. Along with them came the news that Liu Haizhong had become a manager.

Upon hearing this news, everyone looked as if they had seen a ghost.

Even if you beat them to death, they still wouldn't understand why that idiot Liu Haizhong could become an official.

He Yuzhu was pestered by Xu Damao the whole way, who kept asking him the reason.

"How could that idiot with the bangs in his hair become an official?"

He Yuzhu said, "This was arranged by Director Li. Why are you asking me?"

Xu Damao said, "What do you think? Don't forget your relationship with Liu Haizhong. If he becomes an official, he'll definitely target you."

He Yuzhu didn't refute. Knowing Liu Haizhong's personality, he definitely wouldn't be content if he became a team leader.

With Yi Zhonghai and a few others instigating him, he will soon turn his attention to himself.

He Yuzhu, however, was not afraid.

Letting him become an official was a favor to Li Huaide.

But if Liu Haizhong doesn't know what's good for him, then he shouldn't blame He Yuzhu for making him step down.

Li Huaide wouldn't turn against him over a dog.

"He's already a team leader, what's the point of you saying all this?"

Even more frightened than Xu Damao were the two brothers, Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu.

Liu Guangtian joined the singing committee, and Liu Guangfu became a member of the Hong Guard, which made them somewhat arrogant at home. The two brothers joined forces to repeatedly humiliate Liu Haizhong, making him lose face.

Xu Damao saw that the two were hiding at the entrance of the alley, wandering around aimlessly.

"Guangtian, Guangfu, what are you doing here?"

When Liu Guangtian saw He Yuzhu, it was like seeing a savior: "Brother Zhu, my dad has become the group leader of the workers' picket team. He'll definitely give us a lecture when he gets home."

He Yuzhu said, "What are you afraid of? You're also a member of the singing committee, just like your dad."

Liu Guangtian gave a wry smile: "I know. But my dad is that kind of person..."

Without saying anything more, everyone understands what's going on.

Xu Damao said, "You two brothers, just get him some good wine and coax him a bit, that'll do the trick."

Liu Guangtian said, "We need to be rich too."

"Where's your money?" Xu Damao looked at Liu Guangtian in confusion: "You've been working for so many years, where's your salary?"

“I gave all my previous salary to my mom. I haven’t received my salary this month yet,” Liu Guangtian explained.

Xu Damao thought for a moment. He Yuzhu wasn't afraid of Liu Haizhong, but he was a little afraid.

To avoid retaliation from Liu Haizhong, he said, "Here's what we'll do: you go home and tell your second uncle that I'll get some food and drinks to celebrate for him."

The two were overjoyed upon hearing this and surrounded Xu Damao, flattering him.

He Yuzhu ignored them and walked into the alley.

He has good hearing and overheard the conversations of the older women in the alley.

The name Qin Jingru also reached his ears.

"Aunt Zhao, what are you talking about? What shameful thing has Qin Huairu done this time?"

"It's Zhu Zi. She didn't do anything, it's just that someone from her family came. It's a young girl named Qin Jingru."

He Yuzhu nodded: "Oh, I see. Well, let them come. Maybe she'll send them home tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, everyone agreed that it made sense. Considering Jia Zhangshi's temperament, they felt that He Yuzhu's statement was quite normal.

They thought that Jia Zhangshi wanted to drive Qin Jingru away, but He Yuzhu knew that Qin Huairu was definitely behind it all.

However, this has nothing to do with him.

Back in the courtyard, I found it eerily quiet. This was because I was frightened by Liu Haizhong's appointment as a leader.

"Zhu Zi, did Second Uncle really become a leader?"

He Yuzhu said, "That's right. Director Li thought he was a talented person, so he made him the leader of the workers' disciplinary team, in charge of eight people."

Many people looked on with surprise, but dared not say it aloud.

He Yuzhu didn't say much and went straight home.

When Lin Jinghan and He Yuzhu came in, she asked, "What happened? Didn't you stop him?"

He Yuzhu didn't hide anything from Lin Jinghan and told her directly.

"Li Huaide wanted someone to take the blame, and that idiot Liu Haizhong volunteered to step forward."

How do you expect me to stop them?

Lin Jinghan was stunned for a moment: "If Liu Haizhong does this, he'll offend people."

Isn't he afraid of retaliation?

He Yuzhu said, "That would require him to be able to think of it. Don't talk about him. Did you tell Dad? At this time, you must not step forward."

Lin Jinghan whispered, "I told him. Dad is too afraid to see anyone now because of the situation outside."

His old friends wanted to see him, but he turned them all away at the door.

This is what smart people do.

Sometimes, having many friends isn't necessarily a good thing. You never know which one might be carrying a bad reputation.

After talking about Liu Haizhong, they started talking about Qin Jingru.

"Qin Jingru is only as big as a raindrop. How could she have the nerve to use Qin Jingru to keep Wu Tiezhu hanging in the air?"

He Yuzhu asked with a smile, "So, what did Chen Xiaofang say when she found out?"

Lin Jinghan rolled her eyes at him: "What else can I say? Didn't you see that neither of you went out?"

He Yuzhu chuckled: "Actually, this isn't bad. Once Liu Haizhong becomes an official, he'll definitely be restless."

From now on, everyone's attention will be on him, and no one will pay attention to Wu Tiezhu. (End of this chapter)
