Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

Half a month later, the gossip surrounding Yan Jiefang's wedding disappeared.

These days, there are quite a few people who publish notices in the newspapers severing ties with their parents. Yan Jiefang's situation is nothing special.

Meanwhile, Qin Huairu's life became difficult.

Inside the workshop, the number of male workers willing to help her suddenly decreased significantly.

Only two or three people, including Guo Da Piezi, were willing to help her.

She used steamed buns to finally find out the reason.

It was Yi Zhonghai who orchestrated the threats against those who helped her.

Since Qin Huairu had no other options, she had to think of something. She thought of Li Huaide.

Since that incident, Li Huaide has really stopped talking to her.

She went to see him several times, but was turned away by Li Huaide's secretary each time.

So much time has passed, she believes that Li Huaide has forgotten.

Qin Huairu arrived at the office building again.

Secretary Yang blocked Qin Huairu's way: "Who gave you permission to wander around the factory during working hours?"

Qin Huai put on an alluring expression and pleaded, "Secretary Yang, please, let me see Director Li. I have something important to tell him."

Secretary Yang said, "If you have something to report, you can report it to your workshop director. Director Li is very busy and doesn't have time to see you."

"This matter is very important. I can't tell the workshop director. Secretary Yang, I beg you, please let me see Director Li." Qin Huairu continued to plead, unwilling to give up.

Secretary Yang naturally wouldn't let her get away with it: "Then tell me. I'll pass it on to Director Li."

No matter what methods Qin Huairu used, Secretary Yang remained unmoved. Li Huaide had specifically instructed him not to meet with Qin Huairu.

Their argument attracted the attention of some people.

Ma Ning quickly reported the news to Meng Bo.

Meng Bo asked, "What is the relationship between Qin Huairu and Li Huaide?"

Ma Ning said, "I'm not too sure. But Qin Huairu has a nickname in our factory; everyone calls her the Pretty Widow."

Meng Bo asked curiously, "Is this Qin Huairu very beautiful?"

Ma Ning said, "She is indeed very beautiful. Even more beautiful than Yu Haitang from our factory."

Meng Bo immediately became interested and said, "I'm going to the Workers' Club now. Quietly call Qin Huairu here for me."

I need to ask her what she needs to see Director Li about.

Upon hearing this, Ma Ning immediately went to find Qin Huairu himself.

Qin Huai left the office building in disappointment and headed towards the workshop.

Ma Ning caught up with her: "Qin Huairu, Deputy Director Meng wants to see you. Come with me."

Qin Huairu had naturally heard of Meng Bo's reputation. She also knew that the two most powerful people in the steel rolling mill were Li Huaide and Meng Bo.

Since Li Huaide's approach is not feasible, choosing Meng Botai is not a bad option.

Qin Huai followed Ma Ning to the Workers' Club.

Just as Li Huaide treated the logistics department as his private domain, Meng Bo seized control of the workers' club after arriving at the steel rolling mill, making it his base.

Yang Peishan was sweeping the streets when he saw Qin Huairu follow Ma Ning into the workers' club.

He knew that He Yuzhu and Qin Huairu had a bad relationship. Meng Bo was also causing trouble for He Yuzhu.

Seeing that Qin Huairu had entered the workers' club, he secretly went to find He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu thanked him and told him to go back quickly.

People like Yang Peishan who make mistakes are always being watched. If he's absent from his post for an extended period, someone will report him.

He Yuzhu sat in his office, pondering Qin Huairu's matter.

Back then, Qin Huairu had Sha Zhu firmly tied to the millstone. If anything was missing, she could simply go to Sha Zhu.

Sha Zhu will take good care of it for her.

Qin Huairu doesn't have to worry about anything, nor does she need to exchange steamed buns for others.

Yi Zhonghai was also in a good mood, as he wanted to reward Qin Huairu for keeping Sha Zhu by her side. He stepped forward as an eighth-grade worker to stand up for Qin Huairu.

Qin Huairu lived a very comfortable life in the workshop.

Once they were comfortable with their lives, they became more reserved and stopped getting involved in outside affairs.

They both became more indifferent. That's no longer the case.

Yi Zhonghai still has to struggle for retirement, while Qin Huairu needs to continue looking for a sucker.

He Yuzhu never expected that Qin Huairu would be forced to go to Meng Bo.

What exactly happened between her and Yi Zhonghai?
He Yuzhu hadn't cared about this issue before, but now it seems he has to take it seriously.

Unable to figure it out, He Yuzhu decided to pass the question on to Li Huaide.

He went to Li Huaide's office and told him the news.

Li Huaide asked, "Did Old Yang tell you that?"

He Yuzhu said, "Yes. He's in charge of sanitation at the Workers' Club. He can see who goes there."

Not long after Meng Bo went in, Ma Ning brought Qin Huairu in as well.

Isn't it obvious?

Li Huaide said, "You don't know, Qin Huairu just came to see me, but Secretary Yang turned her away."

You live in the same courtyard as Qin Huairu, do you know what she's been up to lately?

He Yuzhu shook his head: "Nothing happened in our courtyard either."

The problem is that she seems to have fallen out with Yi Zhonghai.

Li Huaide then asked Secretary Yang to call Director Jin.

Soon, Director Jin arrived. Upon hearing that the inquiry concerned Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu, he recounted everything in detail.

He Yuzhu said, "Yi Zhonghai actually sabotaged Qin Huairu in secret. It seems that there is a big problem between the two of them."

Director Jin said, "Several people who wanted to help Qin Huairu were secretly warned by Yi Zhonghai."

Now, in the workshop, only Guo Da Piezi doesn't care about Yi Zhonghai's warning.

Just listening to him doesn't reveal the reason.

"Old Jin, keep an eye on Qin Huairu while you're in the workshop. It seems she's sided with Deputy Director Meng."

Inside the Workers' Club.

Qin Huairu obediently walked up to Meng Bo.

"Deputy Director Meng, you wanted to see me?"

Ma Ning said, "Qin Huairu, you should call him Director Meng."

No matter who you are, everyone hates the word "deputy".

Meng Bo especially hated that word. He wouldn't allow his subordinates to call him "deputy director" in front of him.

Qin Huairu didn't understand these things, and when she heard Ma Ning ask her to change her address, she immediately did so.

"Yes, Director Meng."

Meng Bo looked at Qin Huairu, feeling somewhat disappointed. He felt that the title "pretty widow" was somewhat undeserved.

The woman before me, Qin Huairu, had a worried expression on her face and was far from being charming. She was just slightly better than most people.

Meng Bo said, "Qin Huairu, I heard you went to see Director Li. Is there anything you want to say to Director Li?"

Qin Huai looked around and said, "Director Meng, can I speak with you alone?"

Meng Bo thought for a moment and then agreed: "Ma Ning, you guys can all leave now. I'll call you if I need anything."

After everyone left, Meng Bo asked, "Qin Huairu, speak. What do you want to say?"

Qin Huairu used the same old trick: first, she used tears to gain sympathy.

"Director Meng, my life is so miserable."

As soon as she finished speaking, she leaned into Meng Bo's arms.

The Qinhuai River, with its pear blossoms glistening in the rain, possesses a unique charm.

Yi Zhonghai could not resist, nor could Meng Bo.

Soon, strange noises began to emanate from Meng Bo's room.

After a long time, Meng Bo finally understood why Qin Huairu was called a charming widow.

Qin Huairu then spoke up: "Director Meng, my family really can't make ends meet anymore. I'm a widow, and I only earn twenty-seven yuan and fifty cents a month. I can't support my children."

Meng Bo was even less generous than Li Huaide. Unwilling to contribute money, he said, "How about this, I'll propose to the factory that we form a female workers' disciplinary team. You can be the team leader." (End of Chapter)
