The conspiracy of the courtyard

"Look, Zhuzi is so energetic, such a good young man. I wouldn't say he is handsome, but he is a man of steel. So from now on, please give Uncle He some face and call him Zhuzi. Don't call him silly Zhu anymore, it's not good for everyone. Okay, Zhuzi, please prepare the dishes. I've been waiting for the meal."

Chen Ping finished the pre-dinner introduction.

When Chen Ping returned to He Daqing's house, she saw the deaf woman sitting at the top of the main table, resting with her eyes closed. She gave He Daqing a look and asked him to go out to inquire about the situation.

He Daqing immediately whispered:

"There's nothing we can do. The old lady came and sat in the upper seat. If we don't let her sit there, she's so old. She's just being a scoundrel here."

Chen Ping frowned and asked, "How many people are still not at the table?"

He Daqing shrugged helplessly: "The only ones missing are us and Zhuzi's fellow apprentices."

"It's okay. Tell Zhuzi not to eat at this table. Let's go to another table first. We'll eat later. We must defeat this old bitch today. Let Zhuzi serve the food to that table later. If this old bitch calls you a fool, get angry immediately, show your arms, shake your sleeves and argue with her, but don't use your hands. If you make things difficult for her a few more times in the future, she will behave herself."

Chen Ping whispered. He Daqing's face lit up and he immediately turned around and left.

He Yuzhu shouted, "Serve four cold dishes first: fried peanuts, cold bean curd, classic mouth-watering chicken, braised pork head, and the hot dishes will be out soon."

He Yuzhu walked in carrying a wooden tray with four cold dishes on it, took it directly to another table, put it down and left.

The deaf woman was not happy with this and shouted, "My silly grandson, you have to go to the main table first. You don't even understand this. How did He Daqing teach you, a silly boy?"

He Yuzhu walked to the table and slammed it and yelled:

"Deaf woman, are you really deaf? My sister is shouting so loudly outside, are you blind? If you shout the word 'stupid' again, I will beat you to death, you old bitch. If you shout the word 'stupid' again, or call me a grandson again, I will beat you right away."

Chen Ping quickly turned the baby carrier over, so that she could carry the baby instead of holding it in her arms. She ran in and asked nervously:

"What's wrong, Zhuzi? Who are you talking to? Don't worry, I'm here, don't worry."

He Yuzhu pointed at the deaf woman and complained as if he had suffered a great injustice:

"She called me stupid and said I was a grandson." Chen Ping glanced at the deaf woman, patted He Yuzhu on the shoulder and said, "Okay, I'll take care of it. Go out and serve the food first."

"Hey, sister, why are you sitting here? Aren't you going to eat? This table is reserved for several leaders from the street office. We don't know what time they will arrive after the meeting.

Are you sitting here without eating? How can you not eat? After all, this is Zhuzi's first time cooking, so please give me some respect.

You said you were the same. I just said so loudly that we should not call him "Shazhu", but you called him "shazhu" and "grandson". At this age, children care about their reputation the most. Why did you provoke him for no reason?

Come on, let's go to the outer room and talk. Why are you getting angry with a child? Let's calm down."

Chen Ping dragged the deaf woman out without saying anything, and kept talking without giving her a chance to interrupt.

When he got outside, he shouted to the stove:

"Zhu Zi, I know I was wrong, please don't be so arrogant next time. You still have a lot to grow up, I will apologize to you in person later."

The deaf woman wanted to struggle but couldn't break free, and couldn't get a word in. She was shaking with anger and had no choice but to retreat. Unexpectedly, Chen Ping let go.

She sat down on the ground with a "thump" and then cried "wow".

"What's wrong with you, elder sister? What are you doing? Are you trying to blackmail me? What's the matter? Are you determined to destroy the advanced people in our hospital? Teacher Yan finally invited us to dinner, but you made the wrong choice? If you are unreasonable, then I will treat you as you are unreasonable."

Chen Ping's words really frustrate the deaf woman, and she even cried softer.

"You are so old, but you are still angry with a child. You are really good. I thought that Teacher Yan was so generous, so I had to give him some fame. I specially invited the leaders of the street office to a banquet to see if there are any good policies to help our hospital.

You are so lucky. Fortunately, they didn't come. If they were here, they would scold you like a shrew. Why would they give good policies to our hospital? Are you worthy of Teacher Yan's hard work? Are you worthy of the neighbors in the hospital?"

"Good fellow, your shout can be heard two miles away, and the people from the street office won't come even if they are supposed to. You have really become the public enemy of the whole hospital this time.

Why are you the same as someone else? Don't you want everyone in the hospital to be happy? Why? What good will it do you? No wonder you can put down your old face. Are you two the same?"

"What's the matter? You didn't ruin the dinner party yesterday, so why do you continue it today? Fine, go ahead. Originally, we gave in to you because you said you were old, but now, who dares to mess with you?

I don't dare to do that. Don't tell anyone outside that we are sisters. I don't recognize you. Go home and drink a bowl of cold water to calm down. Don't cause trouble again. Our hospital can't afford it."

"If you have any shame, just go home and grumble a few times. If you insist on not giving in, I will really go to the street office and the police station.

You look like a bandit begging for food by staring at other people's pots and bowls all day long. If the street office knew about this, they would definitely take you to do forced labor for a few days.

OK, you are awesome. I will go to the street office to invite someone. The street office doesn’t care whether you are a deaf or blind woman. Please sit still. You will get up again when someone else arrives.”

Chen Ping said this and walked straight to the door.

A kind-hearted person directly stopped Chen Ping from going.

"We are all from the same courtyard, so if there is any problem we can just discuss it among ourselves."

Some people also tried to persuade the deaf woman, "Go back quickly to wash and tidy up, why are you angry with a child?" As they said this, they actually pulled her away.

Everyone was happy. No one cared about the deaf woman's butt, and no one talked about Chen Ping.

Chen Ping saw that the annoying person had left, and waved her tender hands, "Serve the food, serve the food."

The meal was so delicious that it made my mouth water. He Daqing was definitely thanking me. He Yuzhu expressed his loyalty, and He Yushui praised the food for being beautiful...

There were no guests in this meal, but that was good in every way... The meal also ended with He Yuzhu's request to buy two hens for us.

Some people are good in every way, while others are not satisfied. Yi Zhonghai's original plan was to suppress Chen Ping through Lu Zhihai because he was reasonable and well-mannered, and was familiar with all the families in the courtyard, so he had to listen to him and create a good reputation for him.

I'll try to get a job at the street office to see if I can get a small official position. Yes, Yi Zhonghai also wanted to be an official. Who wouldn't want to be an official? Officials at that time were very powerful and had great authority.

But who knew that I would get the scars of reward before I even paid anything. The main thing is that I still have to pay people to do things for me. I don’t know if the things are done or not, but the dishes are really delicious. I changed three bowls alone. The bowls are not strong, and they will only break.

Who else is jealous?
