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

Seeing that his actions had been exposed, He Yuzhu raised his head, put his hands in his pockets, and said, "What's wrong? I just brought some leftovers, is it really that big of a deal? I got permission from Director Yang. If you don't believe me, go find Director Yang."

Wang Dawei waved his hand and said, "Take Sha Zhu to the police station first, and we'll go ask Director Yang for instructions."

Upon hearing this, He Yuzhu realized that the procedure was wrong! Shouldn't they have consulted Director Yang first before sending him to the police station?

Just as two factory security guards were escorting He Yuzhu to the police station, Qin Huairu came out of the factory after get off work. She saw the security guards blocking He Yuzhu's way. Going around them was impossible, so she jogged up and asked, "Section Chief Wang, what did Shazhu do wrong?"

Upon seeing Qin Huairu, Wang Dawei smiled and said, "Shazhu has been caught red-handed stealing from the bus. We plan to send him to the police station."

This is not possible!

"Section Chief Wang, are you mistaken? How could Sha Zhu steal public property?" Qin Huairu was shocked. If He Yuzhu was sent to the police station, losing dinner tonight would be a small matter, but losing dinner in the future would be a big problem. Her whole family was counting on Sha Zhu to bring back food.

"Then look what's in his lunchbox?" Wang Dawei pointed to the lunchbox He Yuzhu was carrying.

"Fish, meat!" Qin Huairu's eyes widened.

He Yuzhu usually doesn't bring such lavish meals. What's wrong with him today? Why did he suddenly bring such good food and get reported?

Could it be that the kitchen helpers are jealous of He Yuzhu?

Just as Qin Huairu was pondering, Wang Dawei waved his hand and said, "Send him to the police station."

He Yuzhu hurriedly called out to Qin Huairu, "Sister Qin, go find Director Yang!"

"Don't waste your energy. Even if you go to Factory Director Yang, it probably won't do any good." Wang Dawei pretended not to hear. Now, let alone Factory Director Yang, even if you went to the Heavenly King himself, it would be useless. Based on his understanding of Factory Director Yang, He Yuzhu was most likely going to be in trouble this time.

"Wait a minute." Qin Huairu turned and ran inside. She was going to plead with Director Yang. As long as Director Yang admitted that he had asked He Yuzhu to bring leftovers, He Yuzhu would be fine.

On her way to the factory, Qin Huairu saw Xu Damao, but she ignored him.

Xu Damao watched Qin Huairu run inside, his face full of curiosity. He muttered, "Why is Qin Huairu running so fast? Is she out of her mind?"

These past two days, Xu Damao has been finding all sorts of excuses to come home late or not at all. He's been using Sun Tzu's Art of War to seduce Qin Jingru, employing the strategy of feigning indifference to lure her in. Tonight, he's going to have a few drinks and then take Qin Jingru down.

As for Qin Huairu, he found her tasteless, but also felt it was a pity to throw her away. He could enjoy her occasionally, since all Qin Huairu needed were a few steamed buns and a stir-fried cabbage, which was very cost-effective.

As Xu Damao was thinking, he arrived at the factory gate and saw He Yuzhu being escorted by the factory's security personnel.

This was quite a novelty, and Xu Damao immediately ran over and asked, "Section Chief Wang, what did Sha Zhu do wrong?"

Upon seeing that it was Xu Damao, Wang Dawei replied, "Shazhu stole public property; we need to take him to the police station."

"Good heavens!" Upon hearing this, Xu Damao clapped his hands and exclaimed, "It's long overdue to teach this idiot Zhu a lesson. He's been taking advantage of his good cooking skills to eat, take, and demand things in the cafeteria all day long. You should punish him severely."

Upon hearing Xu Damao's words, He Yuzhu turned around, glared at Xu Damao, and roared, "Xu Damao, you bastard! Did you report me?"

Xu Damao stepped forward and looked at He Yuzhu, saying in a sly tone, "If I were reporting you, would I be off work so late? It must be someone else who disliked you and reported you."

He Yuzhu looked at Wang Dawei in disbelief and said, "Section Chief Wang, was it this bastard Xu Damao who reported me?"

Xu Damao's smile vanished, and he denied it with a straight face: "It really wasn't me who reported you. Although I, Xu Damao, can't stand you, you silly Zhu, I never expected such a good thing to happen. Otherwise, I would have been the first to report you."

Xu Damao could have easily thought of reporting He Yuzhu, but he knew Qin Huairu would definitely not let him off the hook after he did, so it would be a losing proposition.

"You bastard! Don't be so smug, Director Yang will save me." He Yuzhu glared at Xu Damao, that bastard, who was still making sarcastic remarks at a time like this.

"Director Yang." Xu Damao thought about it carefully and it seemed to be true. Director Yang really liked He Yuzhu's cooking. Without He Yuzhu, how would he treat other leaders?

However, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

Even if Director Yang wanted to help He Yuzhu this time, he couldn't.

"Hurry up." The security personnel escorting He Yuzhu were not going to tolerate him.

Xu Damao had important business to attend to and didn't have time to watch He Yuzhu's misfortune, so he left at the fork in the road.

On the way to the police station, He Yuzhu prayed that Qin Huairu would find Director Yang to save him.

Back at the factory, Qin Huairu finally found Director Yang at the place where the factory leaders often ate special meals.

However, when Qin Huairu told Director Yang about the situation, Director Yang's expression immediately changed.

A security guard from the factory arrived shortly afterward and whispered something in Director Yang's ear, causing Director Yang's expression to change drastically.

If he had been frowning before, he was now furious. He slammed his fist on the table and roared, "That idiot Zhu is getting more and more lawless!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Huairu wondered, "What's going on?"

Shouldn't Director Yang have gone to save Sha Zhu?

It must have been that security guard who said something to Director Yang.

Qin Huairu asked, "Director Yang, didn't you allow He Yuzhu to take the leftovers back?"

Factory Director Yang looked at Qin Huairu and said, "A little bit of leftovers is fine, but are the leftovers in He Yuzhu's lunchbox? Half of the fish, half of the chicken, and even half of the peanuts are missing from this table."

Upon hearing this, it was clear that He Yuzhu had indeed gone too far.

How dare they cut half the money when they think they're on equal footing with the factory leaders?

Upon hearing this, Li Huaide, the deputy factory director, suggested, "We have a cook like Sha Zhu in our factory. I think it's unacceptable. Why don't we punish him by making him clean the toilets for three months? The original cook can temporarily take over the canteen."

"Okay, then let's go with He Yuzhu's punishment. If it happens again, he'll be fired immediately." Director Yang thought the suggestion was acceptable. Anyway, He Yuzhu would most likely be detained if he went to the police station, so let him reflect on his actions there.

"Xiao Fan, come here. Go to the police station and tell Director Chen this..." Li Huaide whispered a few words to the security guard who was tipping him off.

"A small punishment is enough to serve as a warning; there's no need to be too harsh," Deputy Factory Director Li concluded.

"Okay." Xiao Fan nodded and immediately ran out.

When Qin Huairu heard about He Yuzhu's punishment, she immediately felt like the sky was falling. He Yuzhu was detained, so what would her family eat? In addition, He Yuzhu would not be in the canteen when he returned, but would be cleaning toilets for three months, which meant that they would not have any food for three months. Wasn't this forcing her family to a dead end? It is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but difficult to go from luxury to frugality.

"Qin Huairu, go back and explain the situation to He Yuzhu's family." Factory Director Yang dismissed Qin Huairu, telling her to go home. He Yuzhu's case had been settled; a small punishment would serve as a warning.

Qin Huairu came out in a daze, and she couldn't even remember how she got home. All she knew was that she kept thinking about who had reported He Yuzhu.

Chapter 99 Your brother, I reported him.

When He Yushui got home today, she didn't see He Yuzhu in the house. At first, she thought He Yuzhu was working overtime, so she simply waited for him in his house.

Logically speaking, He Yuzhu should have been back by this time even if he was working overtime, but it seems like he has vanished into thin air.

He Yushui originally wanted to go to Uncle Yi Zhonghai's house to inquire, but she hesitated because she thought that Uncle Yi Zhonghai was not a good person.

At Qin Huairu's house, Jia Zhangshi looked at Qin Huairu sitting empty-handed and began to curse, "Where's Sha Zhu's lunchbox? Why is he empty-handed again today? Are you trying to starve us to death?"

Qin Huairu said aggrievedly, "Mother-in-law, do you think I didn't want to? But Sha Zhu was reported for bringing a lunchbox, and he was caught red-handed. Now he's been sent to the police station."

Upon hearing this, Madam Jia was alarmed and hurriedly asked, "Will that silly Zhu go to jail?"

Stealing public property is a very serious matter. Going to jail is a minor matter; labor reform is the real issue. Once someone goes there, they most likely won't come back.

Qin Huairu couldn't just sit and wait for her fate. She got up and said to Jia Zhangshi, "Mother-in-law, let's just have something simple to eat tonight. I'll go find Uncle Yi and think of a solution. We absolutely can't let Shazhu go to jail."

When Jia Zhangshi heard that she was asked to cook, she refused. She turned over in bed with her back to Qin Huairu and said, "I'm still in pain and can't cook. You'll have to figure it out yourself."

Qin Huairu was caught in a situation where she had no choice but to deal with such a mother-in-law; she felt as if fate had played a cruel joke on her.

Helpless, Qin Huairu had no choice but to get up and cook.

Hearing Qin Huairu leave, Jia Zhangshi turned over and muttered towards the door, "You actually want me to serve you? Dream on."

Qin Huairu rummaged through the ingredients at the door. She had cabbage, peanuts, and some cornmeal, but no thin noodles.

Having gotten used to eating white flour steamed buns, now they're drinking corn porridge. Not only are the children not used to it, but even Qin Huairu isn't used to it.

But what can we do now? We can only make do with what we have.

While Qin Huairu was cooking, He Yushui secretly peeked a few times and discovered that Qin Huairu was cooking, which meant that He Yuzhu had not given Qin Huairu a lunchbox.

But He Yuzhu hasn't come back yet, where could he have gone?

"By the way, Wang Lin also works at the Third Steel Rolling Mill, maybe he knows." He Yushui immediately ran towards the backyard.

At the backyard gate, He Yushui saw Banggeng squatting there defecating. "How disgusting!" she thought. "Banggeng, what are you doing here?"

Bang Geng looked up and saw He Yushui. He ran away before he could even pull up his pants.

"How did Qin Huairu raise her children?"

He Yushui walked around to the backyard. She was finding Bang Geng increasingly annoying, as he was capable of doing such disgusting things.

In front of the deaf old woman's house, the deaf old woman sat outside, lost in thought.

He Yushui wanted to greet her, but the deaf old woman glanced at her and then closed her eyes to rest, seemingly unwilling to pay any attention to He Yushui.

At that moment, she remembered something Wang Lin had said: "Don't offer your warm face to someone who doesn't reciprocate your coldness."

He Yushui did not greet the deaf old woman, but went directly to Wang Lin's house.

"what?"

Before He Yushui knocked on the door, she noticed something extra at Wang Lin's door: a motorcycle that looked like a crossbody.

The uniquely designed and nimble-looking motorcycle caught He Yushui's attention, and she couldn't help but stroke it, a smile playing on her lips.

When the deaf old woman saw He Yushui being attracted to the motorcycle, she was also jealous of Wang Lin's increasingly better life. He even rode a motorcycle, making him the most arrogant person in the courtyard.

He Yushui reluctantly woke up from the motorcycle and went to knock on Wang Lin's door.

Wang Lin opened the door and saw He Yushui. He habitually stepped aside and said, "Come in, I was just about to eat."

When He Yushui entered the house, she found that several dishes had already been prepared on the table.

Braised pork knuckle!

Braised pork!

Boiled sliced ​​pork!

Pork rib soup!

Stir-fried cauliflower with sliced ​​pork!

These five dishes were very substantial; the only vegetable dish was cauliflower, and the only soup was pork rib soup.

Wang Lin emphasizes a balanced diet, requiring vegetables and soup to be included.

When Fang Yue saw He Yushui arrive, she no longer felt hostile towards her as before. After all, she had witnessed He Yushui's changes. Out of politeness, she took the initiative to greet her, saying, "Sister Yushui, you've arrived."

He Yushui nodded, then looked at Wang Lin and asked, "Is there anything I can help you with?"

Wang Lin untied his apron and washed his hands, saying, "No need, the food is already prepared."

Chen Amao began serving rice to everyone, starting with the two mythical beasts.
