Courtyard House: They all say I'm a good person

Chapter 54 Yu Li's job, what a coincidence!

The next morning, when Shen Zhishou went to the Central Courtyard to wash up, he didn't see Qin Huairu, but only Sha Zhu.

"Good morning, Master He!"

"morning!"

Sha Zhu chuckled and replied, then continued brushing his teeth.

Shen Zhishou was also brushing his teeth. Occasionally, when he glanced at Shazhu, he would notice that Shazhu's eyes would occasionally dart towards the direction of the Jia family.

What a simp!

Thinking about how Sha Zhu eventually won over Qin Huairu in the original story, Shen Zhishou didn't know what to say.

They say that a simp who keeps fawning will end up with nothing.

But whether Sha Zhu will ultimately end up with nothing is unknown, but at least he slept with Qin Huairu during the process.

As for what the original ending was, Shen Zhishou really didn't know.

After all, there have been rumors circulating online that Sha Zhu was kicked out of his home at the end of the original story and froze to death under a bridge.

However, Shen Zhishou did not see this version of the story, so he cannot comment on it.

After Shen Zhishou brushed his teeth, he turned around to the back room when the Jia family's door finally opened. Jia Dongxu yawned and walked out of the room, carrying his toiletries in one hand and supporting his waist with the other, looking like he had overworked himself.

Qin Huairu followed behind Jia Dongxu, her face pale, not at all like someone who had been nourished.

Shen Zhishou glanced at it and found this matter quite interesting!

Without looking at Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu any longer, Shen Zhishou took the water and left.

Back inside, Yu Li had just gotten up.

Seeing her rosy cheeks, Shen Zhishou felt secretly pleased.

This is what it looks like when your own wife has been pampered, while Qin Huairu looks like she hasn't slept all night.

After getting up, Yu Li was still a little sleepy and glared at Shen Zhishou with annoyance.

"Why don't you sleep a little longer?"

Shen Zhishou chuckled.

Yu Li snorted and said, "I'll take a nap after you go to work!"

Yu Li still remembers her duties as a wife!

Shen Zhishou didn't try to show his good-man side; instead, he helped Yu Li make breakfast.

One pot of millet porridge, and another pot of egg pancakes.

It's simple, nutritious, and rich in oil.

When the aroma of pancakes wafted through the courtyard, many families were filled with envy and jealousy.

But really, not many people felt there was anything wrong with it. After all, Shen Zhishou and Yu Li were the only two people living together, and each of them could spend a dozen yuan a month.

In addition, Yu Li also goes out to do odd jobs, which earns her some money.

After breakfast, Shen Zhishou went to work.

Yu Li closed the door and went back to sleep.

……

After seeing Jia Dongxu off, Qin Huairu was sent by Jia Zhangshi to the Shen family to help Yu Li make clothes. She even generously offered to let Yu Li use the sewing machine at her home if she needed it.

Of course, this sewing machine can't be used for nothing.

Jia Zhangshi's scheming skills were not much worse than Yan Bugui's.

However, Madam Jia always plotted quietly and rarely took action herself, instead sending Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu to make the moves.

Unlike Yan Bugui, who personally handles everything.

When Qin Huairu arrived at the back room, she knocked on the door but received no response. She pushed the door and found it was locked from the inside. Qin Huairu knew that Yu Li was probably taking a nap.

She chatted with Yu Li and heard Yu Li talk about how capable Shen Zhishou was. She said he was like a wild bull at night, and whenever he was like that, she had to take a nap during the day, otherwise she couldn't stay awake.

Helpless, Qin Huairu had no choice but to return to the Jia family.

Is anyone home?

When Jia Zhangshi saw Qin Huairu return, she frowned.

"At home, he should be taking a nap!"

Qin Huairu gave her answer in a low voice.

Upon hearing this, Madam Jia's face immediately fell, and she said with disdain, "That man surnamed Shen is truly unlucky; how could he have married such a lazy woman!"

"Just wait, he'll regret it sooner or later!"

"Qin Huairu, you're not allowed to follow Yu Li's example!"

"Our Jia family cannot tolerate lazy women!"

After commenting on Yu Li, Jia Zhangshi did not forget to warn Qin Huairu.

Qin Huairu could only honestly state that she would not slack off.

……

When Shen Zhishou arrived at the steel rolling mill, he continued to practice his fitter skills diligently with Wang Mingliang, and sought guidance from Song Peiman whenever he encountered any difficulties.

"Master, I'd like to find a permanent job for my wife. When will your factory be hiring again?"

While Song Peiman was resting, Shen Zhishou chatted with him.

Song Peiman glanced at Shen Zhishou and said, "Our factory recruits every year, but the minimum requirement is a vocational school diploma. What's your wife's education level?"

"high school!"

"That's a bit difficult!"

A moment ago, Song Peiman said it was a bit difficult, but the next moment he lowered his voice and said, "However, I do have a job opening here, but it's not in our factory, it's in the food factory!"

"master!"

Shen Zhishou was no longer calm.

Working in a food factory is damn desirable, even more so than working in a steel rolling mill.

Song Pei gave Shen Zhishou a meaningful look and whispered, "This number!"

As he spoke, Song Peiman gestured an eight.

"These are permanent positions; you can become a permanent employee as soon as you join the factory!"

"Master, I'll take it!"

Eight hundred yuan for a permanent position—Shen Zhishou didn't know if that was a high price, but a permanent position could put Yu Li at ease, which was better than anything else.

"You little rascal, you're really willing to do that?"

Song Peiman did not expect that Shen Zhishou would not hesitate at all.

Shen Zhishou grinned and said, "Master, I'm doing this for the sake of family harmony. You don't know, my wife knows a young woman whose in-laws..."

Shen Zhishou rewrote Qin Huairu's story and told it to Song Peiman in a different guise.

"I was thinking that if I found my wife a job, she would feel at ease, and I would be able to live a more comfortable life."

"You're a practical guy, aren't you!"

"Your wife, she really made the right choice marrying you!"

Song Peiman didn't think there was anything wrong with Shen Zhishou's idea.

He's been there.

I deeply understand a principle: for a couple to live a good life together, they must be considerate of each other. Only in this way can they support each other for a lifetime.

Relying on children?

It's not that you can't rely on them, it's just that when something really happens, the first person you can always rely on is your spouse.

Of course, if you want to rely on your spouse, you have to work on the relationship between you.

If the couple is not getting along, then don't expect anything from them.

"My wife is about to retire, and her job opening isn't needed by our younger family members. If you tell me this in a few days, it might be too late!"

"You've got some luck, kid!"

Song Peiman was not lying.

If Shen Zhishou hadn't mentioned this to him, or had brought it up a few days later, the job opportunity might have already been sold to someone else.

……

That evening, when Yu Li heard that Shen Zhishou had helped her find a job, even a job at a food factory, she cheered excitedly and jumped into Shen Zhishou's arms.

"Honey, really? Really?"

"Yes, really!"

"We'll go to the food factory tomorrow morning to complete the handover!"

These job openings must be secured as soon as possible, otherwise things might change.

So, after telling Song Peiman, Shen Zhishou took leave at noon and went out of the steel rolling mill. When he returned, he gave Song Peiman eight hundred yuan.

Not all of them were ten-yuan bills; there were also quite a few five-yuan bills.

This was something Shen Zhishou did intentionally!
