After listening to Xu Damao's advice, Qin Huai kept a close eye on Meng Bo.

She was still quite afraid of Meng Bo's wife and didn't dare to go to Meng Bo's house.

On his way home from get off work, Qin Huairu rushed out from the side and tried to stop Meng Bo's car.

Before rushing out, Qin Huai hadn't thought it through. But after rushing out, seeing the huge car made his legs go weak, and he collapsed to the ground.

At that moment, she felt extremely regretful and worried that she would be hit and killed.

Even more frightened than her was Meng Bo's driver. If he really killed someone, he would definitely lose his job.

No leader would want to hire a driver who has killed someone in a traffic accident.

If he doesn't work as a driver, he can only drive a large truck.

That job is definitely not as good as driving for Meng Bo.

When he realized it was Qin Huairu, he was furious.

"Qin Huairu, go die somewhere else."

His scolding actually helped Qin Huairu, bringing her back to her senses.

Qin Huairu quickly stood up and stopped the car: "Director Meng, I beg you to help me."

Meng Bo, sitting in the back seat, frowned when he heard Qin Huairu's voice.

He wanted to ignore Qin Huairu, but Qin Huairu blocked his car, so he couldn't move.

Although there aren't many people here, someone will inevitably see it. If it gets out of hand, he'll be in trouble.

Left with no other option, Meng Bo had to let Qin Huairu get in the car.

Once Qin Huairu was inside the car, she wished she could sit in Meng Bo's lap.

"Director Meng, I beg you, please help me. I only have one son, and I can't let him go to the countryside."

Meng Bo was unwilling to help. Because of Qin Huairu, he would offend even more people.

Many people in the factory are badmouthing him behind his back. They've been watching him closely, trying to find something to do wrong.

“I can’t help you. If you don’t want your son to go to the countryside, you can give him your job.”

Qin Huairu had also thought about this issue, but in the end she was reluctant to give up the salary.

"If Banggeng were to take my place, he would be an apprentice. Apprentices in our factory only earn eighteen yuan a month."

This amount of money is simply not enough for our family's living expenses.

"Director Meng, I beg you, please help me for the sake of our past relationship."

Meng Bo was startled and cautiously glanced at the driver in front of him.

He glared at Qin Huairu, thinking to himself that she was shameless for daring to say such things.

"Don't talk nonsense, I have nothing to do with you."

Qin Huairu ignored all of this and became increasingly explicit in her remarks.

Meng Bo had no choice but to agree to Qin Huairu's request: "I can help you get a job, but it won't be at a steel rolling mill; it can only be at a small factory."

Although Qin Huairu was dissatisfied, it was better than nothing. She wanted to leave the stick in the city first, and then think of a solution.

"Row."

Meng Bo warned her, "This is the last time I'll help you. Don't come looking for me again. If you dare to come looking for me again, don't blame me for being impolite."

Qin Huairu verbally agreed, but she didn't take it to heart at all. She even thought that if she encountered difficulties again, she could use the same method to ask Meng Bo for help.

If Meng Bo helps her a few more times, she might be able to turn him into a hardworking ox.

After Qin Huai got off the bus, Meng Bo promised the driver some benefits before letting him take him home.

Meng Bo's reputation in the industry is not good these days, and people are afraid that he will cause trouble again, so they are not willing to help him.

It wasn't easy for him to get a job.

Qin Huairu felt that since Meng Bo had agreed, he would definitely be able to get it done. So she stopped asking around for help.

Yi Zhonghai kept his eyes on Qin Huairu, and when he saw her like this, he knew something was wrong.

Qin Huairu must have found a way to keep Banggeng in the city.

This is not okay.

He wanted to make Bang Geng suffer for a few years until he understood his kindness, and then let Bang Geng come back.

Yi Zhonghai wished he could immediately write a letter of complaint to get Banggeng sent to the countryside.

He wasn't sure yet, so he wasn't in a hurry to take action.

He can wait for news about Bang Geng's job before taking action.

Qin Huairu was unaware that Yi Zhonghai was about to target Banggeng. After settling Banggeng's affairs, she began her new plan.

After Yan Jiedi separated from Yan Bugui, she transferred her grain to He Yuzhu's house.

The Yan family's food consisted either of cornmeal or sweet potato flour.

Cornmeal is made by mixing corn cobs with corn cobs, while cornmeal is made by mixing corn husks with corn.

The He family had never eaten either of these two grains before. Neither of the He family's two children had ever seen such noodles.

He Yuanting asked curiously, "Aunt Jiedi, are these things delicious?"

Yan Jiedi was used to eating these kinds of things since she was a child, and as long as they filled her stomach, she didn't find them unpalatable.

"is acceptable."

He Yuanting said, "I'd like to try some too, is that alright?"

Yan Jiedi dared not let her eat it, and said, "White flour steamed buns are much tastier than this. Let's eat that."

He Yuanting was somewhat skeptical, but she didn't press the matter further.

She knew from a young age that the Yan family was stingy; they were the ones who took advantage of others, never the other way around.

She thought Yan Jiedi didn't want her to take advantage of her.

She even whispered to Lin Jinghan behind her back, and it took Lin Jinghan a long time to explain before she believed her.

After eating with the He family for a few days, Yan Jiedi felt embarrassed.

While cooking, she used her own grain to make a few cornbreads.

Lin Jinghan told her to stop, but she wouldn't listen.

"Sister-in-law, please don't try to persuade me. I know steamed buns are delicious, but I can't eat them like this every day at your house."

It would be a waste if I didn't eat all this food.

My biggest dream since I was a child was to be able to eat my family's cornbread to my heart's content.

Now my dream has come true. Look. At home, I could only eat one this big, but now I can eat three.

Seeing that she insisted, Lin Jinghan didn't stop her anymore.

Once the cornbread was ready, He Yuanting asked curiously, "Can I have a bite? Just a small bite, I'll trade you the steamed bun I have."

Yan Jiedi looked at He Yuzhu and Lin Jinghan.

He Yuzhu knew that the child was very curious, and she definitely wouldn't believe it if he didn't let her try it herself.

"Break off a small piece for Yuanting and let her taste it."

Yan Jiedi really only broke off a tiny bit. It was the first time she ate cornbread, and that was all she took a bite of.

He Yuanting curiously took it, chewed it once, and then spat it out: "It tastes awful. Aunt Jiedi, why did you eat this?"

Yan Jiedi smiled and said, "Brother Zhu is capable; he can make sure you eat well."

My dad's useless; this is all we get from him.

He Yuanting didn't understand any of this; she simply advised Yan Jiedi not to eat those cornbreads anymore.

Yan Jiedi verbally agreed, but still insisted on eating cornbread.

After the meal, Yan Jiedi actively helped clear the table.

After she finished cleaning up, she picked up the lunchbox and packed the cornbread into it.

She knew that the He family didn't eat this and planned to save it for tomorrow's lunch.

Qin Huairu was in the courtyard, her eyes constantly glancing at the He family.

She saw that Yan Jiedi's lunchbox contained cornbread, and walked over, puzzled.

"How do you eat this?"

Yan Jiedi said, "If we don't eat this, what will we eat?"

Qin Huairu said, "Of course we eat white flour steamed buns. Everyone in our courtyard knows that Sha Zhu's family only eats white flour steamed buns."

Yan Jiedi said with dissatisfaction, "Sister Qin, didn't Brother Zhu beat you enough? Why don't you know how to change your tune?"

Besides, you've never been to Brother Zhu's house, so how do you know they eat white flour steamed buns?

His family ate cornbread.

Qin Huairu looked incredulous. She could smell the aroma of the He family's cooking every day. She knew very well what the He family ate.

As for nicknames, she was happy to call him that. Her greatest wish was to call He Yuzhu the "Silly Zhu" that Yi Zhonghai had once described to him. (End of Chapter)
