The next morning, Yan Bugui saw Yan Jiedi washing up by the pool in the middle courtyard and came over.

"Jie Di, what did Sha Zhu's family have for breakfast?"

As the youngest daughter of the Yan family, Yan Jiedi naturally understood Yan Bugui's meaning.

They came here hoping to get a good deal.

He Yuzhu had helped him so much; she dared not accept this treacherous wolf.

Moreover, she also wanted to find Yan Bugui.

"Dad, my food rations are still at home. I didn't eat at home last night or this morning."

Remember to reimburse me for my food rations.

Wu Tiezhu, who was about to go to the toilet, couldn't help but laugh when he heard these words.

Yan Bugui said with a dark face, "You're eating and drinking well at Shazhu's house, how can you still be thinking about those little things at home?"

Yan Jiedi said in a serious tone, "Why shouldn't I covet what's mine?"

You were the one who told me that you won't go poor from eating or dressing, but you will go poor if you don't plan ahead.

I'm about to separate from you, and I'll have to live on my own from now on. How can I not plan ahead?

We'll go to the neighborhood office to complete the formalities in a bit. After that, I'll go home and get my food rations.

The family rules of the Yan family were set by Yan Bugui, and Yan Bugui could not refute them.

He now hopes that Yi Zhonghai can stand up and help him suppress Yan Jiedi.

But he was soon disappointed.

There was no sound from Yi Zhonghai's door. Clearly, it wasn't that Yi Zhonghai hadn't heard, but rather that he didn't want to get involved.

Yi Zhonghai really didn't want to get involved, and even hoped that Yan Jiedi would break up with Yan Bugui as soon as possible.

He had known for a long time that the Yan family's children were unfilial and had been waiting for this outcome.

Now that success is within reach, how could he possibly go out and help Yan Bugui?

Without anyone's help, Yan Bugui had no choice but to retreat.

Yan Jiedi returned to the He family home triumphantly, and when she saw the He family's breakfast, her eyes were filled with envy.

I knew the He family ate well, but there's a big difference between hearing about it and seeing it for myself.

She didn't dare eat the eggs on the table, and only ate the steamed buns next to her.

Lin Jinghan said, "Have an egg!"

Yan Jiedi quickly said, "Sister-in-law, you should keep it to nourish your body."

"I'm perfectly content with just steamed buns. In my family, we don't even get to eat such good steamed buns during the Lunar New Year."

He Yuzhu said, "Let's eat eggs. I boiled six. Your sister-in-law can have two, and we can each have one of the rest."

Yan Jiedi then reached out and picked up the egg, eating it very carefully.

He Yuzhu compared the memories of Sha Zhu and found that Yan Jiedi was very different from the original.

The original Yan Jiedi exuded the calculating nature of Yan Bugui. The moment she saw an egg, her eyes would dart around, plotting how to get her hands on it.

Yan Jiedi's eyes did indeed show longing just now, but she had no scheming intentions. Instead, she turned her head away and refused to look at the eggs.

The changes that have occurred in her are all too obvious.

She must have been taught by someone, most likely Grandpa Qin.

In short, it absolutely could not be Yan Bugui. According to Yan Bugui's teachings, Yan Jiedi would not be able to eat eggs at this time; instead, she would be constantly finding reasons to try to persuade He Yuzhu to eat eggs.

After dinner, He Yuzhu took Lin Jinghan to work. Before leaving, he told Yan Jiedi to lock the door to He Yushui's room.

Yan Jiedi knew the He family's rules, so she quickly agreed.

She locked the door and went to the Yan family's house.

"Dad, let's go. Let's go to the neighborhood office to complete the formalities."

Yan Bugui sat there with a dark expression.

The third aunt said, "Jie Di, are you really that heartless to want to separate from me and your father?"

Yan Jiedi said, "If you don't want to separate the family, that's fine too. Either you find me a job, and I'll keep only five yuan from my salary and give you the rest."

"Either you give me travel expenses and living expenses, and I'll cut in line."

Yan Bugui and his wife did not want to agree to either of these conditions.

There was nothing they could do but accompany Yan Jiedi to the neighborhood office.

Are you here to register for queue jumping?

Yan Jiedi said, "No. We've come to divide the family property."

"Separate the family?" The staff member from the neighborhood office looked at the three people with a puzzled expression. "That's right, we're separating the family," Yan Jiedi said seriously.

The staff from the neighborhood office wanted to try to persuade them.

Yan Jiedi said directly, "Don't try to persuade us. We've already separated our households."

I was younger before, so my household registration wasn't separated. Now that I'm an adult, I can separate my household registration.

My brother and I separated a long time ago. It's a family tradition.

Upon hearing this, the staff at the neighborhood office couldn't persuade them any further and instead issued them a letter of introduction.

The three of them took the letter of introduction and went to several departments, finally completing all the formalities.

Yan Jiedi looked at the household registration book in her hand and smiled with satisfaction.

"Dad, let's go. Let's go home and divide up my grain."

Yan Bugui said angrily, "I wonder how you'll survive without us."

"How I live is none of your business. Even if we don't separate, do you think you'll care about me?"

The answer to this question is clear: if there's no money, they absolutely won't help.

Qin Huairu arrived at the steel rolling mill but didn't even go to the workshop.

She went straight to the office building, intending to use her connections to get a job for Bang Geng.

When Li Huaide's secretary saw Qin Huairu, he immediately stopped her from going in.

Several leaders didn't even give Qin Huairu a chance to meet with them alone.

Qin Huairu resorted to her old tricks, crying and complaining about how difficult things had been for her.

Only Yi Zhonghai would feel sorry for them; others simply wouldn't believe it.

Li Huaide called his secretary over and asked, "What's Qin Huairu up to now?"

His secretary was finally replaced. Because of his good performance, Secretary Yang was transferred to another department as its head.

The current secretary's surname is Meng, the same as Meng Bo's. I don't know what kind of twisted humor this is.

Secretary Meng then told Li Huaide the information he had found out.

Li Huaide sneered: "She's dreaming. Who would dare let her son work in a steel rolling mill?"

Secretary Meng said, "She approached several people, but none of them dared to agree."

Li Huaide asked, "Didn't Meng Bo agree to her either?"

Secretary Meng was grateful to Meng Bo. If it weren't for Meng Bo coming to the steel mill and vying for power with Li Huaide...

He wouldn't have risen from a lowly office clerk to become Li Huaide's secretary.

He knows how to be grateful. Since Meng Bo has given him such a good opportunity, he will naturally keep a close eye on Meng Bo.

"Deputy Director Meng hasn't arrived yet."

Li Huaide's eyes darted around, and he muttered a few words to Secretary Meng.

Secretary Meng turned around and went out to the workers' picket team.

"Captain Xu."

"Secretary Meng, what brings you here? I was just looking for you."

When I have some free time, I'll talk to He Yuzhu and ask him to cook us a few dishes. We can have a drink together.

Secretary Meng smiled and said, "Let's not rush into drinking. The director has something he wants you to do."

Xu Damao's smile faded, and he asked seriously, "What are your instructions, Director? Please tell me, and I will do my best to fulfill them."

Secretary Meng smiled and said, "No need to be so serious. You're familiar with Qin Huairu, aren't you?"

Xu Damao said, "We live in the same courtyard. She lives in the middle courtyard, and I live in the back courtyard?"

The director asked her what she was doing.

Secretary Meng then understood why Li Huaide had asked him to find Xu Damao.

"His son wanted to go to the countryside, so he went around the office building asking people to plead for him, which caused a lot of trouble."

The director means that you should talk to her and give her a hint, suggesting she go see Deputy Director Meng.

Xu Damao was also a shrewd man, and he immediately understood what Li Huaide meant.

This is essentially pushing the trouble onto Meng Bo.

According to Xu Damao, he definitely wouldn't want Banggeng to stay in the courtyard house.

However, since Li Huaide had already spoken, he dared not refuse. (End of Chapter)
