The winner of life in the courtyard

Chapter 195 Falling into a trap
"It's this big to begin with, I didn't intentionally give you a smaller one!"

"Eat if you can, leave if you can't!"

……

After just being nagged for a while, Jia Zhang's temper exploded.

Jia Zhang, who had a bad temper to begin with, could not stand this injustice and immediately started quarreling with the worker who served the lunch.

Well, Jia Zhang, who had just restored some good reputation for herself yesterday, has made a complete reversal today.

Jia Zhang's reputation in the steel rolling mill plummeted instantly.

Coupled with the instigation of some people, Jia Zhang just got a job at the steel rolling mill. He had not even worked for two days when his reputation became ruined.

That afternoon, many people reported to the factory and complained about Jia Zhang's work attitude.

The canteen director naturally seized the opportunity to severely criticize Jia Zhang and completely cut off her opportunities to get meals and dishes from the window.

So, when others could take a break and relax while getting their meals at noon, Jia Zhang had to be responsible for cleaning and tidying up, and it was not easy for her to be lazy and take a rest.

Jia Zhang is such a smart person, how could she not understand that she is being targeted!
However, Jia Zhang found that she had no way to resist at all.

She was the one who started the quarrel with the workers. What the workers complained about her were all true. The canteen director's handling of the matter was reasonable and no one could find fault with it.

Even if Jia Zhang wanted to find someone to complain to, she had no position to do so.

Even if she wanted to act like a spoiled brat again, the canteen director would not tolerate her.

It was at this time that Jia Zhang suddenly realized that this was a steel rolling mill, not a courtyard house, and the rules of the game in the two places were completely different.

When Jia Zhang realized this, there was no room for maneuver.

Sha Zhu would not give Jia Zhang a chance to turn things around.

Of course, the people working in the cafeteria would not give Jia Zhang a chance to turn things around. After all, Jia Zhang was a person who had ruined the interests of the majority of people.

As for whether Jia Zhang will change?
The answer is no!
If Jia Zhang would change, then Qin Huairu would not have completely broken up with Jia Zhang.

The disputes between Jia Zhang and Qin Huairu had already been spread around the steel mill by Qin Huairu.

In this day and age, the existence of evil mother-in-law is the most hated.

Qin Huairu is usually the best at pretending to be weak. Compared with the two, Jia Zhang's reputation will naturally not be good.

Coupled with the dispute caused by Jia Zhang in the cafeteria, Jia Zhang's evil deeds were naturally completely confirmed.

"Silly Zhu, you guys are the ones who plotted against me, right?"

After a busy day, Jia Zhang was so tired that she didn't want to move. After everyone else left, she looked viciously at Sha Zhu, who was still waiting to be the chef for the factory's small kitchen.

Sha Zhu glanced at Jia Zhang and said, "Aunt Zhang, what are you talking about? What's the matter with you?"

"Are you still pretending?"

Jia Zhang glared at Sha Zhu fiercely, "Sha Zhu, leave some room for others so that we can meet again in the future. You are too ruthless, aren't you afraid of retribution?"

"Aunt Zhang, I really don't know what you are talking about!"

Shazhu looked completely confused.

He did want to target Jia Zhang, but Jia Zhang's current situation had nothing to do with him, and he hadn't even taken any action yet!
"Then tell me, why are you targeting me?"

"I am so old, and I watched you grow up. Do you still have a conscience?"

Jia Zhang's attitude gradually softened.

She's not stupid either.

After realizing that her days in the cafeteria might be difficult, Jia Zhang understood that she had to bow to Sha Zhu at this time.

But she was unwilling to bow her head like this.

That's why she would question Sha Zhu first. As long as Sha Zhu denied it, she would soften her tone and try to make friends with Sha Zhu in the hope that Sha Zhu would stop targeting her.

"When your father ran off with the White Widow, how did I take care of you and your sister?"

"When your brother Dongxu was still around, how did he treat you?"

"Silly Zhu, tell me honestly, did you do the right thing?"

It was rare for Jia Zhang to be willing to reason and she also knew how to play the emotional card.

Unfortunately, if the current Sha Zhu was the previous Sha Zhu, he might have been persuaded by Jia Zhangshi. But unfortunately, the current Sha Zhu was someone who had gone to study.

During his time in reformatory, he told the people inside about his experiences and was then educated.

The Sha Zhu of today is no longer the Sha Zhu of the past who knew nothing and could be fooled by a few words from others.

"Aunt Zhang, you are right!"

"In the past, I was so respectful to the elderly and loving the young. I brought so many delicious foods to your family. Shouldn't you give me some back now?"

Sha Zhu did not follow Jia Zhang's idea, but took another approach.

You talk to me about kindness, and I talk to you about kindness.

Speaking of which, what he did at the beginning was considered by Engineer Shen to be a gang.

What he hates most is being framed by others.

However, under Yi Zhonghai's deception, he was attracted by Sister Qin's figure and unknowingly became a helper of the Jia family.

Whenever he thought of these things, Sha Zhu felt so angry that his teeth itched.

Now, Sister Qin has become his wife, making his dream come true.

But even so, he still hated the Jia family.

"Silly Zhu, hurry up, it's time to cook!"

Just when Jia Zhang didn't know how to continue arguing with Sha Zhu, the canteen director showed up.

The small kitchen’s banquet is about to begin!

Jia Zhang was obediently making fire and said nothing more, but she was thinking in her mind how to make Sha Zhu change his attitude.

However, that’s all later.

Now, Jia Zhang is only thinking about one thing. After the leaders have finished eating the special banquet, will she have the chance to take some leftovers back?
If I can bring back some greasy meat, then today's tiring day will be worth it.

Sha Zhu naturally knew exactly what Jia Zhang was thinking.

He also deliberately kept Jia Zhang until this time, so naturally he wanted her to take the leftovers back.

This is not because Sha Zhu had a change of heart, but a bait.

If you want Jia Zhang to work, you naturally have to give him some benefits.

How could Jia Zhang possibly hold on without any benefit?
If Jia Zhang ran away from the canteen, there would be other jobs for her to do in the factory, such as cleaning.

In comparison, cleaning is much less stressful than working in the cafeteria.

Moreover, if Jia Zhang left the cafeteria, Sha Zhu would have no way to deal with her.

……

When Shen Zhiping learned about the change in Jia Zhang's reputation, he realized that Jia Zhang's hard days were coming.

However, this has nothing to do with him.

Jia Zhang is a pure evil person who needs to be dealt with by other evil people.

As for whether Jia Zhang will repent and turn over a new leaf because of this, I don’t know, and I don’t want to know.

When Shen Zhiping returned to the courtyard from the steel rolling mill, he met Yan Bugui again.

Yan Bugui's face was full of joy. When he saw Shen Zhiping, he said happily that Yan Jiecheng's marriage was settled, and a wedding banquet was held on this weekend. Shen Zhiping and Liu Wanqing were invited to attend. In response, Shen Zhiping only thought about it for a moment and declined.

"Teacher Yan, I'm sorry, I already have plans for this day off!"

Their days off are when they go to their father-in-law's house.

My father-in-law and mother-in-law have strictly ordered that I must bring their little girl there on weekends. The two elders love this little girl very much.

Compared with his father-in-law and mother-in-law, Yan Jiecheng's wedding banquet is undoubtedly not an important matter.

Shen Zhiping was just curious and wondered if Yan Jiecheng's current wife was Yu Li. According to his judgment, Yan Jiecheng might look down on Yu Li at the moment, after all, Yan Jiecheng had a formal job.

"I don't know if this can be considered as breaking up a marriage?"

After separating from Yan Bugui, Shen Zhiping became curious about this matter.

However, as a neighbor, it is not appropriate for him to inquire about the bride's name now. If he did, it would be very troublesome if people thought too much about it.

Returning to the east wing, Liu Wanqing put her sleeping daughter down and went to cook with Shen Zhiping.

"Yan Jiecheng is getting married, are we really not going?"

"We all live in the same compound. Wouldn't it be bad if we didn't go?"

Liu Wanqing felt that since they lived in the same courtyard, it would be inappropriate not to attend such weddings and funerals.

Shen Zhiping was very calm and said, "Why is it inappropriate?"

"If they had notified us a few days in advance, then we would definitely not be able to refuse, but in two days it will be a holiday. Who can we blame for this last-minute notice?"

"Also, I always feel that Yan Jiecheng's wedding banquet is a bit too rushed!"

"No news has been released before!"

Generally speaking, there would be some rumors about a relationship, a wedding, etc., but for Yan Jiecheng, it was too sudden.

"Isn't it possible that people are worried about being sabotaged?"

"Wasn't He Yuzhu's wedding banquet ruined some time ago?"

Liu Wanqing subconsciously asked Shen Zhiping two questions in return.

Shen Zhiping laughed and said, "What happened with He Yuzhu has its reasons. He Yuzhu and Xu Damao have been at odds since childhood!"

"And there may be something else hidden behind this matter!"

"It's not as simple as it seems!"

"As for Yan Jiecheng, his family doesn't have any grudges against anyone, so why would anyone come here to cause trouble? Besides, Yan Jiecheng is not He Yuzhu!"

The reason why Sha Zhu and Huang Meijuan's marriage failed was because Sha Zhu himself had problems. Otherwise, even if Xu Damao wanted to sabotage it, he would not have the chance.

"Then tell me, what's the situation with Yan Jiecheng?"

"do not know!"

Shen Zhiping spread his hands and said, "The Yan family kept the news so secret, who knows what's going on?"

"Anyway, I don't feel well, let's just hide if we can!"

"Also, what if someone gives us compliments and asks us to help solve another work problem? What should we do?"

Harmfulness is not allowed, and defensiveness is indispensable.

Shen Zhiping has already helped the Yan family a lot.

After hearing what Shen Zhiping said, Liu Wanqing stopped talking. After all, she didn't know the situation of the Yan family, and their friendship was just that.

After the meal was ready, the two of them ate. Liu Wanqing went back to her room first, while Shen Zhiping cleaned up the pots and pans and boiled water by himself.

After Liu Wanqing finished her personal cleaning, Shen Zhiping also took a quick shower.

Not long after the two fell asleep, there was a commotion in the middle courtyard again.

I don’t know what happened, but luckily it only lasted for a short while.

Shen Zhiping only knew that the one making the noise was Jia Zhang!

……

The next two days were relatively peaceful in the courtyard.

Jia Zhang was in good spirits when going to and from get off work every day, and even the stick figure became much more active.

Shen Zhiping didn't pay much attention to Jia Zhang's situation at the steel rolling mill. Instead, Yan Bugui and Yan Jiecheng made two sarcastic remarks in front of Shen Zhiping.

The cause was that Jia Zhang would bring back a lunch box with leftovers when she came back from the factory every day.

Banggeng even said in the courtyard that his grandmother would bring back meat every day.

Meat!

This is meat!

There are almost no families in the courtyard who can eat meat every day.

Of course, Shen Zhiping was directly excluded.

On the east wing, as long as the gate was closed, no one in the courtyard would know what Shen Zhiping had done unless there was a strong fragrance.

In order not to attract too much attention, Shen Zhiping would occasionally buy cooked food such as braised meat from outside, and would also pack up meat dishes directly from state-owned restaurants.

When I cook at home, I also control the frequency of eating meat.

There’s nothing we can do, this is the way the world is!

Even if you earn a lot, you still have to be restrained when it comes to food.

Otherwise, you never know when you might be reported!
The Jia family ate meat for several days in a row and suddenly became the most arrogant family in the courtyard.

Bang Geng is extremely arrogant, his eyeballs are almost growing to the top of his head.

This unfilial ungrateful man even showed off in front of his biological mother Qin Huairu.

"Zhu Zi, what on earth are you thinking?"

At night, Qin Huairu poked Shazhu next to her and said, "Jia Zhang brings back meals and meat every day. What do you want to do?"

Sha Zhu chuckled and said, "Sister Qin, don't be anxious. Don't think she's enjoying the meal now. In the future, she will make a list!"

"Besides, if I don't let her bring back something I need, do you think she will work hard in the cafeteria?"

Qin Huairu frowned slightly when she heard this and said, "Didn't we agree on this? Let her get out of the cafeteria as soon as possible, preferably without losing her job?"

"Sister Qin, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry!"

Sha Zhu stretched out his hand and pinched Qin Huairu's body, "Look at me, it took me so many years to get a piece of tofu from you, so, this matter needs to be done slowly!"

"Anyway, don't worry, I know what to do!"

As Sha Zhu spoke, he became energetic again.

The creaking wooden bed seemed to be about to fall down...

Qin Huairu felt a little relieved after hearing what Sha Zhu said. As long as Jia Zhangshi would be in trouble in the end, she would be fine.

She has been a daughter-in-law in the Jia family for so many years and has suffered so much abuse. Now if Sha Zhu could get back at her in the cafeteria, she would be more than happy!
At the same time, in Yi Zhonghai's house.

Yi Zhonghai and his wife Wang Shufang were also discussing this matter. Neither of them thought that Sha Zhu would be so generous, and even less did they think that Sha Zhu would be so magnanimous as not to bother with Jia Zhang.

"I'm afraid Jia Zhang is going to fall flat on her face this time!"

Yi Zhonghai sighed and looked at his wife again, "Do you want to remind her?"
