Inside the courtyard, everyone was on high alert.

Led by the three old men, everyone in the yard, including children aged three or four, were forced to appear in the yard.

As the focus of Yi Zhonghai's care, the Xu family and the Li family naturally could not escape, and little friend He Yushui was also forced to appear in the yard.

This time, Yi Zhonghai sent out the deaf old lady to go door to door to invite people, so that no one could escape.

Li Dagen felt unwell when he first entered the yard. He pulled He Yushui and stopped her from running home.

They said they were going out for a meeting, but after everyone arrived, it never officially started.

The reason is nothing else but He Yuzhu, the sucker in Yi Zhonghai's eyes, did not come back.

Xu Damao complained quietly: "They are too overbearing. For the sake of the Jia family, they force everyone to suffer."

Xu Fugui was also very unhappy, but he didn't dare show it because the deaf old lady was staring at him.

"Shut up, be quiet, and wait for Zhuzi to come back."

Xu Damao's resentment towards He Yuzhu was aroused: "Dad, why are we waiting for him? The Street Office said that the liaison officer does not have the power to restrict our freedom."

Xu Fugui glared at him and said, "You don't even need to tell me that. But they sent a deaf old lady to deal with it. What can we do? Isn't it just waiting outside? Just wait and see who can outlast the other. Lao Li, come on, have a cigarette."

Xu Fugui took out a cigarette and gave one to Li Dagen, and the two of them started puffing away.

Xu Damao was bored, so he took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and started puffing away like Xu Fugui.

Xu Fugui saw that his son's cigarettes were better than his own. He was so angry that he took the cigarette from Xu Damao and asked, "Where did you get these cigarettes?"

Xu Damao said: "A friend gave it to me."

"Which friend?" Xu Fugui asked curiously.

Xu Damao was unwilling to say.

He Yushui didn't give him face: "This was clearly stolen from my brother."

Xu Damao was angry that He Yushui had exposed him, so he glared at her fiercely.

He Yushui was not afraid at all and just stared at Xu Damao.

Xu Xiaoling and Li Pan also helped and glared at Xu Damao together.

Since he was bored anyway, Xu Fugui didn't care about it and cheered for He Yushui and the other girls, asking them to defeat Xu Damao. If they could defeat Xu Damao, he would buy them candied haws.

Not only did they have small moves, but other people also had small moves. Forcing everyone to gather people together, but not saying anything, it really made people hate it.

If the deaf old lady hadn't been in charge, they would have started complaining long ago.

Yi Zhonghai and the other two sat on the rostrum, their expressions becoming increasingly grim. They calculated the time well and got everyone out in advance.

They deliberately let everyone wait for He Yuzhu in the yard in order to ignite the anger in everyone's hearts, which would make it easier for him to use moral blackmail.

But the three uncles could not imagine that He Yuzhu had not returned even after seven o'clock.

Yan Jiedi couldn't bear it outside and started crying loudly.

Although Yan Bugui was stingy, he also felt sorry for his children: "Old Yi, how about we go away first? Wait until Shazhu comes back and then have the meeting?"

Yi Zhonghai looked gloomy and glared at Yan Bugui. If Yan Bugui hadn't been sabotaging him, Qin Huairu's surgery fee wouldn't have been borne by him alone.

Now it is time to donate money to Qin Huairu, but Yan Bugui wants to desert again.

Doesn't he know that it will be very difficult to get everyone out again after sending them back?

"Old Yan, don't forget that you have received my payment. You can't go back on your word."

Yan Bugui thought about the three dollars reward promised by Yi Zhonghai, and could only cruelly ignore Yan Jiedi.

Liu Haizhong couldn't stand it anymore. Before the meeting, Liu Guangqi was reluctant to attend, saying that he wanted to learn, but he had promised Yi Zhonghai that he would not take the lead in breaking the rules.

Now that such a long time has been wasted, Liu Guangqi's future is also affected. "Where's Shazhu? Why hasn't he come back yet?"

The audience fell silent, all looking at Xu Fugui.

Xu Fugui said with a smile: "Old Liu, don't you know that Zhuzi has to work overtime? He has to entertain the Soviet experts and can't finish before eight o'clock."

Liu Haizhong was dumbfounded and turned to look at Yi Zhonghai, as if asking, why didn’t you tell me such an important thing.

Yi Zhonghai was also dumbfounded. How could he care about these messy things? He never cared about anything that had nothing to do with his retirement.

This time I made a big mistake, which is really embarrassing.

Yi Zhonghai did not think he was wrong, so he pushed the responsibility onto He Yuzhu who was not present, increasing the anger of the people in the compound towards He Yuzhu.

"Why didn't he tell us that he was working overtime? If he had told me, he wouldn't have kept everyone waiting for him."

Xu Fugui said bluntly: "Old Yi, don't blame me for speaking rudely. What does Zhuzi have to do with you? Why should I tell you this?

He worked overtime because the factory leader arranged for him to work overtime. Are you more powerful than the factory leader? "

The courtyard was filled with a chaotic sound, most of which were ridiculed. They used Xu Fugui's words to express their dissatisfaction.

Yi Zhonghai gritted his teeth and looked at Xu Fugui, wishing he could slap him a few times. His well-thought-out plan was disrupted by Xu Fugui's words.

The deaf old lady saw that things were not going well, so she picked up her walking stick and knocked on the table: "What are you doing?"

When everyone saw her, they immediately quieted down. But looking at their eyes, one could tell they were cursing in their hearts.

Although the deaf old lady knew about it, she had no choice. She had placed her bet on Yi Zhonghai, so she had to support him. If she didn't support Yi Zhonghai, all the expenses of the Jia family would be paid by Yi Zhonghai.

In the end, it was she, the ancestor, who suffered.

In the steel rolling mill, there were several other people who stayed to help He Yuzhu.

In order to be fair, everyone was divided into shifts, and every night there would be a head chef and two handymen staying behind to help.

He Yuzhu was still the same, leaving a little bit of each dish and finally making a pot of stew for everyone's dinner.

As for whether to eat dinner in the cafeteria or take it home to eat with family, no one cares.

Just as the meal was ready, a voice came from outside: "It smells so good."

Then Zhao Kangcheng's voice came out: "Director Cheng, you didn't go home?"

The person who came was Director Cheng from the Security Department. After what happened last night, he was really worried, so he stayed to work overtime.

"Director Zhao, I want to take a look at the factory's nighttime security work."

Zhao Kangcheng pretended not to know what happened last night and boasted about the work of the Security Department: "Director Cheng, you haven't had dinner yet! Our canteen worked overtime to entertain people at night, and no one has eaten. I asked Master He to make some food, how about we eat together."

Director Cheng had never eaten the food cooked by He Yuzhu. As the director of the security department, it was not appropriate for him to attend the reception of Soviet experts.

But he felt a little embarrassed, so he postponed it.

Li Huaide happened to come over and saw this scene. He tried his best to invite Director Cheng, and Director Cheng agreed.

Then these people went into the kitchen.

He Yuzhu greeted them warmly: "Director Cheng, Director Li, Director Zhao, the food has just been prepared, let's eat it while it's hot! These are leftovers, Director Cheng, please don't despise them."

The food is of course no problem.

After eating these dishes, Director Cheng smiled and said, "Master He, if you work overtime in the future, can you cook some dishes for our security department?"

He Yuzhu looked at Li Huaide: "It depends on the factory's arrangement. If I work overtime, it's no problem for me to help cook a meal."

Li Huaide had no conflicts with Director Cheng, and he did not want to offend the powerful Security Department, so he agreed immediately. He promised that when He Yuzhu worked overtime at night, he could cook a pot of food for the Security Department. (End of this chapter)
