Siheyuan came through and sent Jia Zhang to prison

Qin Huairu was crying so hard that she almost grabbed He Yuzhu's arm.

He Yuzhu was speechless for a moment by Qin Huairu's sudden action, not knowing how to respond. Qin Jingru was the quickest to react. She looked at Qin Huairu and said calmly, "Sister, what are you talking about? Everyone in the steel mill and the courtyard knows that Brother Zhuzi has stopped bringing vegetables home. How could there be any leftovers? You can't slander Brother Zhuzi like that." Qin Jingru frowned, her eyes revealing dissatisfaction as she protected He Yuzhu.

Qin Jingru was no fool. She knew full well that this was a crucial period for He Yuzhu in his quest for the position of director. If his reputation was ruined at this critical juncture, it would be the end of him. Her brows furrowed, a look of worry and vigilance in her eyes. She looked at Qin Huairu and said, "Cousin, you can't do anything rash. Zhuzi is at such an important moment right now. How can you let someone ruin his reputation? You have to be aware of this."

When Qin Huairu heard this, she felt a little aggrieved. She stared at Qin Jingru with wide eyes and said, "What are you talking about? How did I ruin Zhuzi's reputation? In the past, I was very kind to Zhuzi. Whenever there was something delicious at home, I always thought of sending some to him?" As she spoke, she put her hands on her hips, trying to defend herself.

He Yuzhu also frowned, looked at Qin Huairu seriously, and said, "Qin Huairu, don't talk nonsense! I am now thinking about work, thinking about how to do the canteen business well and strive to become the director. I won't do those messy things. Don't make trouble here." He Yuzhu knew in his heart that there was no room for any mistakes at this time. If Qin Huairu talked nonsense again, it might cause trouble.

Qin Huairu had never expected that both He Yuzhu and Qin Jingru would say this to her. She had originally thought of taking the opportunity to go in, sit down in He Yuzhu's room, and have a good chat. Maybe she could find out some information, or ask He Yuzhu to help her family again.

But Qin Jingru took a step forward, blocking her way. She looked at Qin Huairu with a firm gaze and said, "Although you are my cousin and I respect you, there are some things you can say and some things you can't say. Zhuzi is working hard on the director's matter right now, so don't cause any trouble."

Qin Huairu couldn't believe her ears. Qin Jingru actually dared to threaten her like that. She was furious and anxious. You know, for so many years, the family had relied on He Yuzhu's help to barely make ends meet. If He Yuzhu's support was gone, how could they live a good life in the future? She opened her mouth, about to say something in rebuttal, but the words didn't come out.

He Yuzhu suddenly smiled, looked at Qin Huairu, and said with a hint of warning in his tone: "Qin Huairu, although I work in the kitchen, don't forget that my relationship with Director Yang is not ordinary. If I say something to Director Yang at that time, do you think you can still be safe as a first-level fitter? There are some things you'd better think about." After that, he took Qin Jingru's arm and turned to walk into the house. He was really angry with Qin Huairu and just wanted to go back to eat and avoid this trouble.

Qin Huairu watched He Yuzhu and Qin Jingru enter the house, and the door slammed shut. She froze in her tracks, wanting to knock on the door again to clarify things, but then she realized that He Yuzhu seemed genuinely angry this time, and that continuing to argue would do no good. Although she was furious, she had no other choice but to secretly rue.

Qin Huairu was feeling depressed and was about to go back home when she happened to meet Yi Zhonghai who was out for a stroll. Yi Zhonghai was walking slowly with his hands behind his back. Seeing Qin Huairu standing there with a dejected look on her face, he couldn't help but feel curious and asked, "Qin Huairu, what are you doing here? Why do you look so lost?"

Qin Huairu seemed to have found someone to talk to, and hurriedly told Yi Zhonghai everything that had just happened, from beginning to end.

After she finished speaking, she looked at Yi Zhonghai with a face full of grievance and said, "Uncle Yi, what do you think is going on? I came here with good intentions, but how can it be considered that I want to ruin Zhuzi's reputation? This is too unfair to me." She hoped that Yi Zhonghai could give her some advice to resolve the current predicament.

Yi Zhonghai frowned slightly, looked at Qin Huairu seriously, and said earnestly: "Don't you know anything about this? He Yuzhu is now doing his best to fight for the position of canteen director. At this juncture, you still want to spread the news that He Yuzhu took food from the kitchen. How can he not be angry? If it were you, would you be happy?" Yi Zhonghai knew in his heart that He Yuzhu was determined to get the position of canteen director, and Qin Huairu's remarks were undoubtedly causing trouble for He Yuzhu.

Qin Huairu was surprised. She stared at Yi Zhonghai with wide eyes and said in disbelief: "Uncle, what did you say? He Yuzhu wants to compete for the canteen director? How is that possible? I didn't hear any rumors before." In her impression, although He Yuzhu worked in the canteen, he did not seem to show such a strong desire for the position.

Yi Zhonghai smiled lightly, a cunning glint in his eyes, and said, "How can it be impossible? This is absolutely true. Moreover, isn't this an opportunity for you?" Yi Zhonghai had his own little calculations in mind. He felt that he could use Qin Huairu to achieve his goals.

Qin Huairu looked confused and looked at Yi Zhonghai anxiously, saying, "Uncle Yi, what do you mean? Stop playing tricks on me and tell me directly. You know what my family's living conditions are like now. Without He Yuzhu's help, we really don't know how we will survive. Please give me some advice." Qin Huairu was anxious and helpless. She knew too well how much her family depended on He Yuzhu.

Yi Zhonghai paused slightly and continued, "Do you think He Yuzhu is really obedient and won't bring food home? It's just that the other people in the courtyard don't know. Look at Qin Jingru again, isn't she obviously attracted by He Yuzhu's status and the possible benefits he can bring? If something happens to He Yuzhu at this critical moment, do you think Qin Jingru will still treat He Yuzhu the same way? Can their relationship remain the same?" Yi Zhonghai tried to guide Qin Huairu to see the situation clearly.
