After hearing Li Huifen's instructions, Li Youquan immediately went to the kitchen and took two bowls to divide the remaining food.

There was a lot of fish and vegetables left, and the two bowls of dishes looked quite sumptuous.

Li Youquan had just finished distributing the dishes when Li Huifen came up to him with a bag of steamed buns and some banknotes.

After handing the steamed buns and banknotes to Li Youquan, Li Huifen once again told Li Youquan to thank them politely, then went out with the bowls and basins to wash the dishes.

Li Youquan stuffed the banknotes into his pocket, then slung the bundle of steamed buns over his arm, and walked out of the house holding a bowl in one hand.

At this time, the residents of the courtyard have finished their meal.

Some were washing dishes at the sink, while others were sitting at their doorsteps chatting with their neighbors.

The rich aroma of the food cooked by Li Youquan's family today filled the entire yard and became a hot topic of conversation after dinner in the entire courtyard.

"I don't know what delicious food Li Youquan made today, it smells so good!"

"That's right! Their family was originally very poor, but today they asked the Yi family for 200 yuan in mental damages! They can have a good meal tonight!"

"That's right! I saw Li Youquan coming back from outside the compound today, carrying a lot of bags in his hands! He finally got some money and spent it like this! How can they live like this!"

"But I heard that the money Li Youquan used to buy things today was earned from fishing and selling fish! It seems that he didn't use the money given by Yi Zhonghai to buy things!"

"Really? That Li Youquan is quite amazing! He can make so much money just by fishing! He can definitely support his family by fishing in the future!"

……

Everyone was talking about it.

Qin Huairu, who was washing dishes in the middle courtyard, couldn't help feeling annoyed after hearing this.

The main reason why she chose to be with Jia Dongxu was because Jia Dongxu had a stable job.

But apart from this, Jia Dongxu has nothing that can compare to Li Youquan.

Li Youquan looks better than Jia Dongxu and is more caring.

When he was dating Li Youquan before, Li Youquan took good care of her and respected her opinions, and Li Youquan's family was also very nice to him.

Jia Dongxu's family cannot compare to this.

Ever since she married into Jia Dongxu's family, she seemed to have lost her human rights. She had to wash clothes, cook, and clean the house every day. She was often belittled by her mother-in-law, and her life was very depressing.

If Jia Dongxu didn't have a stable job that could support the family, she would not have broken up with Li Youquan and married Jia Dongxu.

Qin Huairu is living a miserable life now, and what she fears most is seeing Li Youquan living a good life.

As long as she saw that Li Youquan's life was a little better, she would start to feel uncomfortable and regret the decision she had made.

Now I hear people talking about how Li Youquan's family had a delicious meal tonight and that he made a lot of money by fishing.

Qin Huairu felt so upset.

She washed the dishes feeling extremely uncomfortable.

Just then a mellow voice came from the side.

"Tsk, it's just a little money earned from fishing! What's so great about that? You still don't have a job anyway!"

"Fishing is all about luck! He was lucky to catch a few fish today, but who knows if he'll be as lucky as today in the future!"

"If Li Youquan has any talent and ability, it can't be seen just from fishing this time!"

Qin Huairu immediately looked in the direction of the voice when she heard it, and saw He Yuzhu walking towards her with his head held high and his chest puffed out, holding two lunch boxes.

"Hey, Shazhu, have you finished your meal?"

Seeing He Yuzhu walking to the sink with two lunch boxes, Qin Huairu asked with a smile.

When He Yuzhu heard Qin Huairu taking the initiative to talk to him, a smile immediately broke out on his face.

He nodded repeatedly and said:

"Yes, Sister Qin! Sister Qin, let me tell you, I have now officially been transferred to the canteen of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill!"

"Not only will my salary increase by 10 yuan, but I can also bring two lunch boxes back from the factory every day!"

"Tonight I brought back stir-fried kidney beans with pork and braised eggplant! Oh my god, they smell so good!"

He Yuzhu said this as if to show off, wanting Qin Huairu to look at him with a higher regard.

When Qin Huairu heard about the rice porridge and pickles they had in the evening, she was naturally envious.

She swallowed quietly, smiled dryly and said:

"The food in your cafeteria is pretty good..."

When He Yuzhu heard Qin Huairu say this, he immediately felt a surge of pride in his heart, and the expression on his face became even more smug.

"Of course not! I'm a cook! Cooks will never starve in any era! The pay in our business is very high!"

"I'm talking about the entire courtyard! No one else's food is better than ours!"

He Yuzhu said with his head held high.

Just then, an old voice came from the side.

"Hey Youquan! What are you doing? I just brought a few steamed buns to your house some time ago! I didn't take it seriously! I didn't even think about asking you to return it!"

"Look at you! Not only did you bring me these steamed buns, but you also brought me so much fish and meat! These things are not cheap! Take them home and eat them yourself!"

He Yuzhu's face suddenly became a little embarrassed after hearing what the man said, and he turned his head to look behind him.

I saw Li Youquan appeared here at some point.

He was holding two large bowls of meat and vegetables and carrying a bundle, and he was standing in front of the carpenter Lao Zhou's house, stuffing the bowls full of meat and vegetables and the bundle into Lao Zhou's hands.

The bowl was very big, and even though it contained several kinds of meat and vegetables mixed together, it looked very rich.

Looking closely at the variety of meat and vegetables, the luxury is no less than the New Year’s Eve dinner we have during Chinese New Year!

"Uncle Zhou! Please don't be so polite here! I was bedridden a few days ago and my family spent all their money on my treatment!"

"Thanks to the steamed bread you sent me! Otherwise, I might not have survived this disaster! Take these meat and vegetables! Consider it my way of repaying you for saving my life!"

"This bundle of steamed cornbread was freshly steamed by my aunt, and there are two steamed buns in it! You are welcome to take some and eat them!"

"I have to go to the front yard to deliver something to Uncle Gong later! I won't talk to you any more! Take this back and eat it with your grandson!"

Li Youquan smiled and stuffed the bowl full of meat and vegetables and the bag of steamed buns into Uncle Zhou's hands. He waved to him and turned to walk towards the front yard.

Looking at the bowl full of meat dishes that looked like the New Year's Eve dinner, He Yuzhu and Qin Huairu's eyes widened immediately.

Especially the Qin Huairu rice porridge with pickles eaten in the evening.

The moment I saw that Li Youquan not only ate so well, but also shared so much food with others.

She felt extremely jealous and uncomfortable.

If he had not been with Jia Dongxu at the beginning, she would be the one enjoying these delicious foods today!
