Courtyard House: She got anxious when He Yushui wasn't licked.

The voices of He Yuzhu and Qin Huairu could be heard coming from inside the cafeteria, and their conversation was quite explosive.

Wang Lin could see everything clearly from outside the cafeteria window. At this moment, Qin Huairu had already started to use her coquettishness to get He Yuzhu to help her mix the cornmeal.

When He Yuzhu heard the word "Silly Zhu," he shuddered all over, feeling as if his soul was about to ascend to heaven.

Seeing He Yuzhu's expression, Qin Huairu thought to herself, "You little brat, I can't handle you now."

When women act coquettishly, men really can't resist.

He Yuzhu, playing along, said, "Comrade Qin Huairu, are you going to use your beauty to seduce me? Can we do something real?"

Qin Huairu immediately started unbuttoning her clothes, saying fearlessly, "Come on, come on!"

When He Yuzhu saw that Qin Huairu was actually unbuttoning her clothes, he chickened out.

Qin Huairu went up and grabbed He Yuzhu's clothes, trying to take them off for him. Startled, He Yuzhu quickly broke free and ran around the tables in the cafeteria, saying as he ran, "I was just joking, Sister Qin, you actually took it seriously!"

Qin Huairu slammed her cloth bag on the table and said sternly, "Who was joking with you?"

When He Yuzhu saw that Qin Huairu seemed genuinely angry, he dared not joke around anymore.

Qin Huairu immediately started to shed tears, sobbing, "If my family hadn't really been starving, would I have to suffer like this? I went to my husband's workshop, and Guo Da Piezi tried to take advantage of me. I took two steamed buns, and Xu Damao tried to take advantage of me. Am I, a widow, just supposed to suffer like this?"

He Yuzhu was flustered. He said stupidly, "Xu Damao is a coward with no sense of proportion. He can't be."

Qin Huairu retorted to He Yuzhu, "Why wouldn't he dare? What do you know? How many times has he tried to take advantage of me but failed? I don't want to be like him, you know?" After saying that, she started wiping away tears again.

Seeing that Qin Huairu was really crying, He Yuzhu quickly stepped forward to comfort her, saying, "Sister, don't cry. I just had a sharp tongue."

Qin Huairu started flattering He Yuzhu, saying, "Out of so many people, I only trusted you, silly Zhu, because I thought you were different from other men. But I never expected that you would be like this too."

To preserve his image in Qin Huairu's eyes, He Yuzhu promised, "I promise I'll buy you cornmeal tonight. Don't worry, I'll go find Xu Damao right now. I'd be sorry if I didn't get him drugged."

Qin Huairu couldn't let things get out, so she deliberately said, "No, you can't go. If I take Xu Damao's meal tickets, how will we stay as neighbors?"

Chapter 59 He Yuzhu with Cornmeal

“Do it, the neighbors will do it too, but I will definitely not let that bastard Xu Damao get away with it.” He Yuzhu felt heartbroken. That bastard Xu Damao dared to take advantage of his beloved woman. It made his heart ache. He wished he could hang Xu Damao up and whip him.

Qin Huairu knew that Sha Zhu was careful with his actions, so she stopped interfering. It would be good to teach Xu Damao a lesson and make him behave himself.

Wang Lin, who was hiding outside the window, saw everything, but he was in no hurry to cause trouble.

Qin Huairu didn't dare to stay in the cafeteria for long; she straightened her clothes and left.

He Yuzhu watched Qin Huairu's departing figure, lost in thought, probably figuring out how to deal with that scoundrel Xu Damao.

As Wang Lin walked away from the canteen window, he recalled the original plot: He Yuzhu seemed to be going to find the women in the factory to teach Xu Damao a lesson.

He Yuzhu didn't show his face, but he deliberately mentioned that someone was trying to take advantage of the female employees while they were eating, which naturally led to someone teaching Xu Damao a lesson.

He Yuzhu really understood how to use this tactic of diverting disaster.

As a factory worker, Wang Lin was naturally allowed to eat at the factory, and he wanted to see what the food was like.

Upon arriving at the canteen, Wang Lin glanced at the window and saw that Liu Lan was in charge of serving the food, not Ma Hua, He Yuzhu's apprentice.

Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, Wang Lin produced a lunchbox in his hand and lined up to try out the food inside.

The meals served in the communal pot were really just like that: potatoes, steamed buns, and occasionally a little meat.

The line for food closed quickly. When it was Wang Lin's turn, he looked at the menu and ordered a potato and two steamed buns. The other dishes didn't look very appetizing.

Seeing that Wang Lin was exceptionally handsome, Liu Lan sized him up a few more times and couldn't help but ask out of curiosity, "Young man! Are you new to our factory?"

Wang Lin nodded and replied, "Yes, I'm a purchasing agent who just started working at the steel rolling mill today. My name is Wang Lin."

Liu Lan remembered Wang Lin's name. She picked out a larger potato and a larger steamed bun for Wang Lin, showing special care for this new factory worker.

Wang Lin did not refuse Liu Lan's kind offer.

The other factory workers had no objections to Liu Lan's special treatment, after all, Liu Lan had someone protecting her.

Although Li Huaide was the deputy factory director, he was a powerful leader with real authority. It would be easy for him to get rid of them; who would be so foolish as to provoke him?

Wang Lin took a bite of the potato and thought it tasted just so-so; it was boiled and had a very bland flavor.

Needless to say, steamed buns are another story; how delicious can you expect steamed buns from a communal kitchen to be?

After quickly finishing his meal, Wang Lin asked for directions to the projection department to find Xu Damao.

It wasn't that Wang Lin wanted to tell Xu Damao in advance that he was going to be watched by a group of female employees; he simply wanted to watch the show.

As soon as Wang Lin arrived at the entrance of the projection department, he peeked out and, sure enough, He Yuzhu was suppressing a laugh at the door.

Meanwhile, inside the projection department, Xu Damao was begging for mercy.

Sister Hua, one of the factory's female employees, wasn't going to tolerate Xu Damao. She immediately called on her colleagues to take off Xu Damao's clothes.

He Yuzhu peeked inside several times and almost burst out laughing.

Xu Damao squatted helplessly in the corner, clutching his trouser leg tightly, clinging to the last shred of dignity.

Sister Hua warned Xu Damao, "Xu Damao! If we find out you're taking advantage of the girls at the factory again, next time it won't be as simple as just watching the melons."

"That's right, that's right, it's not easy to take advantage of us women."

"Thin arms and legs, no flesh at all, like a bamboo pole."

I hate you.

"Nothing interesting, let's go, sisters."

After the group of tough female employees left, He Yuzhu followed them away.

Having achieved his goal of teaching Xu Damao a lesson, He Yuzhu naturally wouldn't bother him anymore. He had another important matter to attend to today: he was going to visit his third uncle, Yan Bugui, at his school.

Wang Lin secretly went to the entrance of the projection department and peeked inside. Xu Damao was standing there with his arms crossed, looking aggrieved. If he had a camera, he would definitely take a picture to remember the moment.

Xu Damao quickly started dressing, cursing as he did so: "A bunch of old women! No wonder no man cares about them!"

Wang Lin quietly left the projection department. He left the steel rolling mill to go home and check on his two pets, and maybe bring them some food back with him.

He Yuzhu took advantage of the fact that he had nothing to do at noon to go to the school where Yan Bugui was.

At school, Yan Bugui had just finished class and was walking out with his books in his arms.

He Yuzhu encountered Yan Bugui on the road and immediately went up to him, calling out, "Third Uncle."

When Yan Bugui saw that it was He Yuzhu, he smiled and asked, "Silly Zhu, what brings you here?"

He Yuzhu said shyly, "Didn't you say last time that you would introduce me to someone?"

Yan Bugui smiled and said, "So that's what it is. Teacher Ran doesn't have class today, I'll ask her tomorrow."

"Then I'll head back first." Upon hearing this, He Yuzhu's smile vanished instantly. He had thought he would finally meet Teacher Ran, whom Yan Bugui had mentioned, but it turned out that Teacher Ran didn't have any classes today, so he had made a wasted trip.

"This silly Zhu..." Yan Bugui saw He Yuzhu's expression and knew that He Yuzhu was taking this matter to heart.

Marrying a teacher means you won't have to worry about your children's education anymore; it's definitely a wonderful thing.

Over the years, Yi Zhonghai had introduced many potential partners to He Yuzhu, but they were all rather unattractive, and their appearances were not presentable enough to be seen in public. As a result, He Yuzhu had never been able to find a partner. In addition, with the widow Qin Huairu interfering, it was even more impossible for He Yuzhu to find a partner.

Yan Bugui did bring it up last time, but he wouldn't introduce it for nothing. If He Yuzhu wanted to see the person, he would definitely have to give a gift. Otherwise, Yan Bugui wouldn't mind making He Yuzhu wait for news.

He Yuzhu thought that Yan Bugui had listened to his advice after he came to see him in person, so he didn't make any move for the next two days, and Yan Bugui forgot about the matter.

He Yuzhu was in a great mood when he returned to the steel rolling mill, and happened to run into Liu Lan gossiping with other canteen staff.

"Let me tell you, a handsome young man came to our factory. He's so good-looking that young girls are completely smitten, and older women can't even walk past him."

"Liu Lan, is it really as mysterious as you say? What's that person's name?"

"His name is Wang Lin! He's a new employee at our factory."

Upon hearing the name "Wang Lin," He Yuzhu immediately leaned over and interjected, "Don't be fooled by Wang Lin's good looks; he's actually a very wicked person."

Seeing He Yuzhu join the conversation, Liu Lan asked disbelievingly, "Silly Zhu, do you know Wang Lin? How do you know Wang Lin is so bad?"

He Yuzhu habitually picked up his teacup and said smugly, "How could I not know him? Wang Lin is from the same courtyard as me. He grew up in the courtyard since he was a child. I know what kind of person he is."

"Really?" Liu Lan was also stunned. He Yuzhu said this about Wang Lin. Could it be that Wang Lin is really that kind of person?

“How could this be fake?” He Yuzhu took a sip of water to moisten his throat and said, “Wang Lin is extremely arrogant in the courtyard. He doesn’t respect the elderly or care for the young. He has no sense of the courtyard’s spirit. He’s selfish and self-serving, and he even dares to dream of pursuing my sister and becoming her husband! I think you’ve all been deceived by his appearance. You can know a person’s face but not his heart.”

After hearing He Yuzhu's explanation, everyone's impression of Wang Lin instantly soured. However, there was one person who didn't believe He Yuzhu's words: Liu Lan.

As a woman, Liu Lan was no ordinary woman. She was capable of making a living in the factory through her own means, so she must have some brains. She wouldn't just listen to He Yuzhu's one-sided story. Moreover, she had been in contact with Wang Lin, and Wang Lin didn't seem like the person He Yuzhu described.

"This tea is brewed quite well today." After spreading rumors about Wang Lin, He Yuzhu felt exceptionally pleased. Xu Damao and Wang Lin were his enemies for life.

“Master, I made it.” Ma Hua immediately took credit.

"You rascal." He Yuzhu chuckled, stood up, and said, "Hurry up and prepare the dishes for dinner. Watch and learn carefully during the communal meal."

“Okay.” Ma Hua replied, though somewhat disappointed that He Yuzhu didn’t let him try cooking rice in a large pot himself.

He Yuzhu had ulterior motives; Mei Qi said he was testing MCA, his protégé.

Everyone in the kitchen could see that He Yuzhu had no intention of seriously teaching Ma Hua his skills; only Ma Hua naively thought that He Yuzhu was testing him.

He Yuzhu has been pushing back and forth between MCA for three years and three years after that. Skills that could have been learned in three years have been pushed back and forth by He Yuzhu, who only uses MCA as free labor.

MCA has worked hard all these years, but in the end, he was expelled from the school by Ho Yu Chu and gained nothing. It was a classic case of losing both his wife and his army.

Liking a goddess is wrong, licking a master is wrong, one should be careful in the matter of licking.

That evening, taking advantage of the empty cafeteria, He Yuzhu simply carried a bag of cornmeal away in a cloth bag.

As for buying it? If He Yuzhu says he's bought it, then he's bought it.

When entering or leaving the factory, the security personnel would check whether the factory workers were taking anything home.

He Yuzhu carried the cloth bag calmly. Everyone in the security department knew He Yuzhu; he was the head chef in the factory canteen, and his cooking was excellent. He often cooked special meals for the factory leaders. The security department would check the employees next to He Yuzhu but not He Yuzhu.

This is why He Yuzhu dared to carry the cloth bag so openly.

After leaving the factory, He Yuzhu returned to the courtyard and came to Qin Huairu's side with a cloth bag in his hand. He proudly showed her the bag, saying, "Ta-da! I've bought you the cornmeal you wanted."

As for why he said "buy" instead of "smoothly," He Yuzhu wouldn't be so foolish as to tell the truth about even that.

Qin Huairu's face lit up with surprise when she saw the cloth bag. She snatched the bag, opened it, and saw that it was indeed cornmeal, but the quantity was a bit small, more than half less than expected. However, she thought to herself, it's good enough to have something to eat, why should I expect anything more?

He Yuzhu watched as Qin Huairu took the cornmeal back. He had helped Qin Huairu, and his sycophantic heart was filled with the greatest vanity. "Sure enough, only I can help Sister Qin, only I can make her smile."

He Yushui, who had just returned, witnessed this scene. She watched everything from afar, her eyes calm and serene, as if she were already used to such things.
