Siheyuan: He Yuzhu since 1958

After Yu Li left, Li Huaide's smile became even brighter. Li Huaide opened the information on the table. The information was from none other than Yan Jiecheng. As long as the couple worked in the same factory, Li Huaide would have absolute control over them. Suddenly, Li Huaide had the urge to take good care of Yu Li.

After leaving the steel mill, Yu Li did not go home directly, but went to the textile mill and found a girl with whom she had a good relationship. She quickly transferred her temporary job for 180 yuan. After completing the formalities, Yu Li went to the street office and asked Director Wang to issue a letter of introduction. Fearing that things would get complicated later, Yu Li went to the steel mill in the afternoon to complete the entry procedures.

After completing the formalities, Li Huaian took Yu Li to the third canteen, introduced her to all the workers in the third canteen, and then took Yu Li to the small warehouse.

After Deng Yuli left, Sister Huang walked up to He Yuzhu and said, "Zhuzi, do you know this new guy?!"

He Yuzhu replied, "Her husband is Yan Jiecheng, an apprentice in the lathe workshop. He lives in the same courtyard as me. If I remember correctly, she used to work in a textile factory. How come she was suddenly transferred here?!" Then a thought unconsciously emerged from He Yuzhu's mind: "Will Yu Li take over Liu Lan's position?" Then He Yuzhu shuddered unconsciously. It was as if he saw a green grassland growing on Yan Jiecheng's head. At the same time, he expressed his condolences to Comrade Yan Jiecheng.

There were many people working in the steel mill in Siheyuan, and with the Second Auntie as a broadcasting loudspeaker, the news that Yu Li was working in the steel mill spread quickly throughout the Siheyuan.

When Yan Bugui and Auntie No. 3 heard the news, they were both surprised. Auntie No. 3 said, "Old Yan, what kind of connections did Yu Li have to work in a steel mill? And it's such an easy job as a warehouse keeper?!"

Yan Bugui said: "Yu Li is too ignorant. When she married Jie Cheng, she should have considered Jie Cheng more. If she gave her regular job to Jie Cheng and took on Jie Cheng's apprenticeship, their income would have increased significantly." Then, Yan Bugui felt a little distressed. Yan Bugui suddenly realized that since Yan Jie Cheng and Yu Li met, they had been spending money.

Yu Li waited until the end of get off work and went home with Yan Jiecheng. When they got home, Yu Li and Yan Jiecheng simply wiped their faces and walked into the next room.

Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li shouted in unison: "Dad! Mom!"

Yan Bugui nodded slightly, motioned for the two to sit down, and said, "Yu Li, I heard that you're working at the steel mill?! And you're a regular employee?!"

Yu Li nodded and asked, "What's the matter?!"

The third auntie said, "Yu Li, you should give your regular job to Jie Cheng. Then you can take Jie Cheng's apprenticeship job. This way, your income can increase significantly."

Yu Li said: "My regular job is a logistics worker. Even if I give up my job to Jie Cheng, he can't change his job. He gets a fixed salary every month."

"Ouch!" The third aunt cried out softly and said to herself, "That's not appropriate." Then the third aunt looked at Yan Bugui with some resentment. Yan Bugui smiled awkwardly and said, "Now that Yu Li has become a formal employee, isn't it a bit inappropriate for the two of you to only pay ten yuan for living expenses?!"

Yu Li said, "I don't know if it's appropriate. But I did some calculations and it seems that the ten yuan we pay each month still leaves us with a surplus. Can you reduce the amount for us? I think eight yuan would be more appropriate."

Yan Jiecheng also agreed at this time: "Yes! Dad, we two don't eat lunch at home except for breakfast and dinner. You should return the money for lunch to us."

"Hey?! They are both waiting for me here?!" Yan Bugui muttered to himself and said, "Since you have calculated it so clearly, I will also calculate it with you." Then Yan Bugui took out the account book and abacus, and started to calculate the accounts in front of Yan Jiecheng and his wife.

At first, Yu Li thought Yan Bugui's account was reliable, but after a while, the more she listened, the more she felt something was wrong. She said, "Dad! How much money did you give to Jie Cheng's grandparents?!"

Yan Bugui smiled and said, "Jie Cheng's grandparents died early." Then the smile on Yan Bugui's face disappeared, and he closed the account book angrily and shouted, "Get out!"

"Okay! If you don't want to see us, then we won't stay. Jiecheng, let's go!" Yu Li stood up and walked out of the house. Yan Jiecheng stood up, hesitated for a moment, and followed him out.

After Yan Jiecheng and his wife left, Auntie Three asked, "Old Yan, why are you so angry for no reason?!"

"What for?" Yan Bugui asked angrily, "Didn't you hear the hidden meaning behind Yu Li's words? She was asking why the two of us didn't die earlier!"

In fact, Yan Bugui misunderstood Yu Li. Yu Li didn't mean that at all, but who made Yan Bugui overthink it? !

Back in his room, Yan Jiecheng complained, "Why are you so impatient?! No matter what, at least wait until we finish our meal before we leave!"

Yu Li said, "Let's go! We won't eat at home today. I'll treat you to a meal at a state-owned restaurant!"

"Really?!" Yan Jiecheng asked in disbelief.

Yu Li asked: "Are you going to leave or not?!"

"Of course!" After saying that, Yan Jiecheng pulled Yu Li and walked outside.

"Oh?! Jiefang, where are you and your wife going instead of eating at home at this time?!" He Yuzhu was just about to enter the yard with his wife when Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li came out.

Yan Jiecheng wanted to save face and couldn't say that he had fallen out with his parents, so he just made up an excuse and said, "My wife has found a formal job. I have to tell my parents-in-law about this good news. Let's go and tell them the news and have a meal at their house."

He Yuzhu smiled and agreed, "This is indeed good news. We should tell them." After that, He Yuzhu took his wife into the gate of the courtyard.

After returning home, Huang Ying couldn't help but ask, "Zhu Zi, I noticed that you looked a little weird just now, what's going on?!"

He Yuzhu glanced outside, then looked at Lu Shunyi and his wife, and said, "Grandma, Grandpa, what we said in the room can't be spread outside!"

Lu Shunyi and Cui Juan nodded at the same time. Huang Ying urged: "Zhu Zi, what's going on?!"

He Yuzhu said: "I heard that Yu Li saved Li Huaide's wife, and Li Huaide helped her get this job in order to repay Yu Li. You may not know Li Huaide. At first glance, he seems to be a kind person who knows how to repay kindness. In fact, he is exactly the opposite. He is a real villain. But he still has one advantage, which is that he gets things done for money."

Huang Ying said in confusion: "What does this have to do with arranging a job for Yu Li?!"

He Yuzhu said, "Have you forgotten the saying that was popular just after the liberation, 'Get promoted and get rich, but your wife dies?' Li Huaide's wife is ugly. But who can blame her for having a father who is a high-ranking official? Li Huaide can be where he is today, not only because he is good at doing things, but also because of the help of his father-in-law. Since he can't divorce and his wife can't die, what do you think Li Huaide should do?!"

Huang Ying thought for a moment and said, "You mean Li Huaide has set his sights on Yu Li?!"

He Yuzhu replied: "It's hard to say, but it's pretty close."
