Siheyuan: Revenge of the Stupid Pillar

He Yuzhu smiled kindly and said, "Don't say that about Xu Damao. Xu Damao was deceived by his wife and spent a day and a night in jail. It's inevitable that he's in a bad mood. I can understand."

Sun Jinfeng scolded him lightly, "Xu Damao, listen to this. Look at Zhuzi's pattern. You really should learn from him."

Xu Damao was almost furious when he heard this, and he shouted sternly: "Get out...get out...get out of here! A good dog doesn't block the road. Don't block my way home."

Wang Shufen angrily scolded: "He Yuzhu, how can you talk like that? You don't have any manners at all."

Sun Jinfeng came out and scolded him, "Xu Damao, you are so arrogant and disrespectful, you are not worthy of being a human being."

Yang Cuihua scolded, "Xu Damao, you bastard! Didn't your parents teach you to respect your elders?"

Xu Damao suppressed the anger in his heart, pushed through the crowd and walked towards his room.

He Yuzhu saw Xu Damao leave and asked in confusion, "Why did I only see Xu Damao come back? Are Qin Huairu and Qin Jingru still detained at the police station?"

Wang Shufen said: "Qin Huairu and Qin Jingru came back this morning."

He Yuzhu continued to ask: "Didn't they receive any punishment?"

Sun Jinfeng said helplessly: "We don't know about this. We asked the Qin sisters, but they were like dumb and said nothing."

Yang Cuihua sighed and said, "I don't think Xu Damao and the other two will receive any serious punishment. Although Qin Huairu and Qin Jingru deceived Xu Damao, their actions were excusable and did not cause any damage to Xu Damao. The police station has no reason to punish them."

"As for Xu Damao, even though he and Qin Jingru slept together before they were married, one of them was still single and the other was divorced. His behavior was merely morally flawed, not even considered promiscuous. Furthermore, they were both willing to be together and eventually got married. The police could only criticize and educate Xu Damao..."

He Yuzhu thought about it and realized that it was indeed the case. Deep disappointment appeared in his eyes.

……

After dinner, He Yuzhu was about to continue making love with Ding Qiunan when there was a knock on the door.

He Yuzhu opened the door and saw that the person who came was Liu Haizhong.

Liu Haizhong said with a smile on his face: "Zhu Zi, do you have time? I want to treat you to a drink."

A hint of displeasure flashed across He Yuzhu's eyes, and he said indifferently:

"I won't drink anymore. Just tell me what's going on."

Liu Haizhong invited again: "Zhu Zi, it's still early, come to my house for a drink, we can talk while drinking."

He Yuzhu declined again, saying, "Uncle Liu, that's really not necessary. Just tell me if you have any questions. I will definitely help if I can."

Liu Haizhong insisted, "Zhu Zi, can you please give me some face? I have prepared the wine and food."

He Yuzhu was silent for a moment, then said helplessly: "Okay then!"

When Liu Haizhong saw He Yuzhu agreed, his face was as bright as a flower, and then he said to Ding Qiunan:

"Qiu Nan, let's go to my uncle's house for a drink with Zhuzi?"

Ding Qiunan smiled and shook his head, saying, "Uncle Liu, I can't drink either, so I won't bother you guys anymore."

He Yuzhu agreed, "Uncle Liu, my wife really doesn't drink, I'll just go with you."

Upon hearing this, Liu Haizhong smiled and said, "Since Qiunan doesn't know how to drink, I won't force her anymore."

"Zhu Zi, let's go!"

He Yuzhu nodded slightly, then said to Ding Qiunan: "Wife, please close the doors and windows. I will be back soon."

Ding Qiunan said obediently: "Well, I'll wait for you!"

He Yuzhu and Liu Haizhong came to Liu's house and saw the wine and food already laid out on the guest table.

A plate of peanuts, a plate of scrambled eggs, a plate of smashed cucumbers, and a bottle of Wuliangye.

Liu Haizhong said enthusiastically: "Zhu Zi, come and sit down, I'll pour you some wine."

He Yuzhu asked doubtfully, "Where are Uncle Liu, Aunt Wang, Guangtian, and the others?"

Liu Haizhong explained: "They have already gone to bed, so let's have a good drink tonight."

He Yuzhu said casually, "Wow, not bad, it's actually Wuliangye?"

Liu Haizhong said flatteringly, "I'll treat you to a drink, Zhuzi. I'll naturally prepare some wine."

"Zhu Zi, come, let's clash."

"it is good!"

After drinking a glass of wine, He Yuzhu exclaimed: "Good wine!"

Liu Haizhong nodded and said, "Wuliangye is indeed good. No wonder it's on par with Moutai and is known as the twin stars of my country's liquor industry."

Liu Haizhong chatted about this and that for a long time at the dinner table, but didn't talk about the real business. He Yuzhu pretended to be nice and kept chatting with Liu Haizhong.

He Yuzhu knew that Liu Haizhong had something to ask for tonight, and since the other party was not in a hurry, he was even less anxious.

But seeing that it was already eleven o'clock and his lovely wife was waiting for him at home, He Yuzhu couldn't help but say:

"Uncle Liu, it's getting late and we have to go to work tomorrow. How about we just stop drinking here tonight?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Haizhong said anxiously, "Zhu Zi, wait a moment. Uncle has something to ask of you."

He Yuzhu said calmly: "Uncle, just tell me what's going on. I will definitely help if I can."

Liu Haizhong said awkwardly, "Zhu Zi, it's still about my reinstatement."

"You don't know, ever since I was fired, all my former subordinates have been mocking me. I've been living a miserable life."

"Zhu Zi, I'm going to retire soon. I don't want to retire in such a lonely way. I want to retire in glory. As long as I can get my job back, I'm willing to give everything."

As Liu Haizhong was speaking, two lines of tears actually squeezed out of his eyes.

He Yuzhu was shocked. He had never expected Liu Haizhong to be so obsessed with his official position. However, he still shook his head and said,

"Uncle Liu, it's not that I don't want to help you, but I really can't do anything about this matter."

Liu Haizhong said impatiently, "Zhu Zi, don't you have a good relationship with Director Li? Go and ask Director Li for me tomorrow."

He Yuzhu was silent for a moment, then said reluctantly:

"Okay, I'll go ask Director Li tomorrow, but I can't guarantee it will work."

Liu Haizhong said excitedly: "Zhu Zi, thank you so much. If there is anything you need, just tell me. I will definitely not let you suffer any loss."

He Yuzhu nodded slightly, turned around and left the Liu family.

Ding Qiunan saw He Yuzhu coming back and said with some dissatisfaction: "Husband, why are you back so late?"

He Yuzhu smiled bitterly and said, "Don't mention it. That fat guy in Liu Haizhong forced me to drink and wouldn't let me leave."

Ding Qiunan continued to ask: "What exactly did Liu Haizhong want to talk to you about?"

He Yuzhu said helplessly, "What else can we talk about? That fat guy is a complete official fanatic, and he's begging me to smooth things over for him so he can be reinstated."

"That guy is so obsessed with being an official that he's even said he's willing to give everything to get his job back."

Upon hearing this, Ding Qiunan said in surprise, "From what you said, it seems Liu Haizhong is indeed a complete official fanatic. I guess he would do anything crazy just to get promoted."

He Yuzhu nodded in agreement: "This guy is indeed a person who can do anything to become an official. In order to get promoted, he betrayed his superiors twice before, which led to his extremely bad reputation in the factory."
