Siheyuan: Breaking off an engagement? Thanking the grace of not marrying

It was a little after one in the afternoon, and the peak period at Hongfeng Building had finally passed.

Yi Zhonghai ordered a bowl of noodles. After finishing his meal, he came to the counter and said to the shopkeeper who was 1.5 meters tall and 1.5 meters in waist circumference: "Shopkeeper Tong, how has Zhuzi been doing recently?"

When Shopkeeper Tong saw Yi Zhonghai, he immediately smiled and said, "So it's Master Yi. This apprentice you introduced is very capable and down-to-earth. He also has great potential. Recently, I've been planning to promote him to chef."

Yi Zhonghai and Manager Tong are old acquaintances. Sha Zhu was also introduced by Yi Zhonghai to be an apprentice at Hongfenglou three years ago.

After hearing Manager Tong's praise for Yi Zhonghai, Yi Zhonghai said, "As long as you are satisfied, well, Manager Tong, I know the restaurant has been busy lately, so Zhuzi lives in the restaurant. Now, there is something going on in the yard, and he needs to go back. Can you let him get off work early tonight?"

Manager Tong didn't hesitate and immediately agreed, "Okay, the restaurant isn't as busy these past two days, and I was planning to let Sha Zhu go back tonight."

Yi Zhonghai smiled and said, "That's great. The kitchen shouldn't be busy now, right?"

Shopkeeper Tong: "No need to rush, go to the kitchen to find him."

Yi Zhonghai took out a dollar and said, "Okay, this is the cash. You don't need to give me the extra change."

Shopkeeper Tong didn't hesitate and accepted it directly.

Arriving at the back kitchen, looking at the tall figure, Yi Zhonghai called out, "Zhu Zi."

Sha Zhu was cleaning the stove at the time. When he heard Yi Zhonghai's voice, he thought he was hallucinating, but he still turned his head subconsciously.

When he really saw Yi Zhonghai, he immediately smiled foolishly, "Uncle, why are you here?"

Yi Zhonghai smiled and said, "There's a general meeting tonight, and I was thinking of asking you to go back. But I just talked to Shopkeeper Tong, and he said that you don't have to stay in the restaurant starting tonight."

When Sha Zhu heard this, he said, "That's great. I've been living in the same room with them for the past two days. Their snoring is louder than mine, and I can't rest well. After comparing them, my own home is still the most comfortable."

"By the way, uncle, what's the matter in our hospital that requires a meeting of all the staff? Is it because Liu Jianshe died?"

When talking about Liu Jianshe, he couldn't help but sigh, looking worried, "Not only is he not dead, he is still alive and well."

Seeing Yi Zhonghai's expression, Sha Zhu couldn't help but ask, "Uncle, what happened in the yard? I've never seen you so worried."

Yi Zhonghai couldn't help but sigh again, and then simply narrated to Sha Zhu what had happened in the past few days.

In Yi Zhonghai's mouth, Liu Jianshe is a second-rate person who does not respect the elderly, does not love the young, is not united, and causes trouble everywhere.

In just these few days, the yard was turned upside down.

Then, he described the story of the three members of the Jia family again with more exaggeration.

Yi Zhonghai, the old fox, had seen through it long ago. On the day Qin Huairu married into the courtyard, Sha Zhu's eyes kept staring at Qin Huairu.

That night, Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu were in their wedding night, and Yi Zhonghai also heard Sha Zhu crying.

Therefore, Yi Zhonghai focused on describing Qin Huairu's miserable condition.

as predicted!

After hearing this, Sha Zhu burst into tears immediately, "My sister Qin, how pitiful! This Liu Jianshe is really a piece of shit!"

"Uncle, I have saved eight yuan of my salary in the past few months, and I will donate it all to the Jia family tonight."

"Not only will I donate, I will also ask Liu Jianshe to donate 20 yuan tonight!"

Yi Zhonghai sighed again, "As for Liu Jianshe, Huairu went to him with a big belly and a bowl to ask for some meat to replenish her body, but Liu Jianshe refused."

"If you ask him to donate money, that would be worse than asking him to die."

"Zhu Zi, forget it, it's better for us to not provoke him."

Sha Zhu's eyes widened, and his voice rose a few decibels: "What the hell? Sister Qin asked him for some meat, but he didn't even give it to her? Don't worry, uncle. If Liu Jianshe doesn't donate money tonight, I will beat him to death!"

The fire was almost lit, and Yi Zhonghai said, "Zhu Zi, don't be impulsive. We have to discuss everything. Fighting can't solve everything. Do you understand?"

"I know, you are the best person to talk to."

Sha Zhu didn't say much to Yi Zhonghai. He had already decided that if Liu Jianshe didn't donate money tonight, he would beat him until he did.

"Okay, you go ahead and do your work. I'll just take half a day off, but I have to go back to work in the afternoon."

After leaving Hongfeng Building, Yi Zhonghai turned left and right and came to a small courtyard. He knocked on the gate.

A heavily made-up woman opened the door and was surprised when she saw Yi Zhonghai. "Yi Lang, didn't you come here last week? Why are you here again today? Do you miss me?"

After being welcomed into the house, Yi Zhonghai drank a cup of tea...

Two minutes later...

"Yi Lang, please come again next week. I will miss you!"

After all, I am old. It only took less than a minute, but my waist was a little sore...
