Chapter 30 Summer Vegetables
Chapter 30 Summer Vegetables
He Yuzhu had long ago realized that Qin Huairu was indeed in his subconscious.
It seems that before his spiritual power dissipated, that silly boy left behind his deepest obsession.
This obsession is strange. Logically speaking, when the two people merged, the other party had not yet seen Qin Huairu, nor would the other party have known Qin Huairu.
He Yuzhu suspected that at the moment when his spiritual power merged with the other person's, the silly boy saw the entire plot of "Love in the Courtyard" in his memory.
I treated it like a TV series, but the silly boy probably really experienced it as his own memoir.
Even after witnessing his own tragic life, the silly boy didn't hold a grudge against Qin Huairu, and had to admit that sometimes fate is just that messed up.
Will He Yuzhu give the silly boy an explanation? He definitely will.
For He Yuzhu, manipulating Qin Huairu was a piece of cake.
Even Xu Damao, Guo Dapizi, Yi Zhonghai, and Deputy Factory Director Li could eat steamed buns.
He Yuzhu didn't think he couldn't get what he wanted; he was just honing his skills. He couldn't let Qin Huairu raise her expectations, otherwise she would realize that he wasn't worth that much.
While others traded their steamed buns for steamed buns, Sha Zhu spent his entire life trying to get back a stale steamed bun, which he then happily ate.
He Yuzhu insisted on eating, and insisted on eating the tenderest steamed buns.
Judging by the timeline, Qin Huairu is now almost four months pregnant, so it's time to consider eating steamed buns.
Even if He Yuzhu had feelings for her, he wouldn't take the initiative to contact her, since she would definitely continue to try.
In this battle between He Yuzhu and Qin Huairu, the other side is destined to become the weaker party, and He Yuzhu's attitude is indifferent.
Or rather, He Yuzhu was confident that his qualities were enough to make Qin Huairu a devoted follower. You wanted to make silly Zhu a devoted follower for life, so it's not unreasonable for me to seek justice for that silly boy, is it?
As for that good-for-nothing Jia Dongxu, he naturally can't be compared to him.
The reason Qin Huairu misses Jia Dongxu so much in the story is because the Jia family didn't suffer hardship in the early stages thanks to Sha Zhu's help. Qin Huairu must have been unable to forget Jia Dongxu.
He Yuzhu cut off all financial support from Yi Zhonghai and the Jia family, leaving them powerless and furious to watch as He Yuzhu thrived.
If Sha Zhu were here, the old deaf woman in the backyard of the Jia family and Yi Zhonghai's house would already be taking advantage of Sha Zhu's favors and scolding the silly boy.
He Yuzhu had no intention of making their lives comfortable; he planned to torment them from time to time. Partly to avenge Sha Zhu, and partly to amuse himself.
As expected, the next morning, He Yuzhu went out to ride his bicycle and saw Qin Huairu again when he reached the entrance of the alley.
Seeing that the other party appeared on time, He Yuzhu felt that the time was about right. Even when training a hawk, you have to give it a little treat from time to time, otherwise it won't be fun if you wear it down to death.
Now that Qin Huairu has reappeared, he won't miss the opportunity.
"Zhu Zi, you're up early today?"
"Sister-in-law Jia, do you have time at noon?"
Qin Huairu answered with a look of surprise.
"Yes, Zhu Zi, did you need to see me at noon?"
"Sister-in-law Jia, there's a run-down courtyard over there in Mao'er Hutong. Let's meet there at one o'clock in the afternoon and have a chat."
"Okay, Pillar, I'll definitely go."
"Alright, Sister Jia, I have to go to work now. See you at noon."
"Okay, see you at noon."
Qin Huairu didn't pester him this time, since the other party had already arranged a place with her, so she naturally wouldn't bother him.
Qin Huairu was overjoyed, seemingly already imagining that she had received He Yuzhu's salary, house, and everything else from him.
At this moment, Qin Huairu became even more convinced that the voice in her head was correct. Didn't she see that they had already opened a breach with He Yuzhu today?
As long as he is willing to get close to her, Qin Huairu is confident that she can make him obediently hand over everything to her.
Qin Huairu had long harbored a deep-seated greed for everything belonging to the He family.
Fortunately, her hard work paid off today, and now it's time to slowly extract benefits from the He family for herself.
Qin Huairu walked briskly to the market to buy groceries, especially meat, since she was about to make a lot of money.
Qin Huairu was even humming a song, "The Sunny Springtime Feels."
He Yuzhu had no idea about the other person's greedy thoughts; he was determined to savor the white steamed buns today.
As for the other party being greedy, what does that have to do with him?
Xu Damao could exchange steamed buns for it, which shows that as long as you are shameless, the other party will not dare to show their face.
Qin Huairu dared to manipulate Sha Zhu because Sha Zhu was concerned about his reputation and had the desire to steal but not the courage to do so.
Even if she actually did it, Qin Huairu wouldn't dare to do anything if she didn't give the other party any benefits.
In the story, Qin Huairu has such a terrible reputation, and countless people have had relationships with her. Yet she doesn't use this against anyone. Is it because she doesn't want to?
Definitely not. It's just that Qin Huairu gets scared and backs down whenever the other party confronts her directly.
After all, in this era, a bad reputation doesn't necessarily mean something is actually wrong.
Even though Yi Zhonghai was caught and imprisoned in the cellar with Qin Huairu, he's still fine.
If having extramarital affairs would get you shot, then there's no point in having extramarital affairs.
Unless it was actually done in bed, or the woman actually reported it to the police, then they will definitely arrest them.
The problem was that women themselves were unlikely to survive, which is why the government later increased its protection of women.
The main reason is that women are too vulnerable and have too low a status at this time.
Of course, things went terribly wrong later on, but that's another sad story.
He Yuzhu went about his work as usual in the morning. No one at the guesthouse knew that their director was going to do something big today.
After He Yuzhu finished preparing the large pot of stew for lunch, he ate a simple meal.
He Yuzhu asked Liu Lan, Guo Wei, and Lu Yi to clean up the back area.
The group has gotten used to these tasks; as long as He Yuzhu gives instructions, they can do them conscientiously.
Liu Lan genuinely had no interest in learning to cook, and He Yuzhu didn't try to persuade her. No one can decide someone else's future for them, and since Liu Lan didn't want it this way, He Yuzhu wouldn't do anything foolish.
He Yuzhu rode his bicycle directly to the dilapidated courtyard and pushed it inside.
This used to be a five-courtyard siheyuan (traditional courtyard house), but now the courtyard is overgrown with weeds and filled with sewage.
Aside from a few children who come to play, most people don't usually come here. Actually, there are several courtyards like this nearby, which is something He Yuzhu has only seen occasionally.
Choosing this location ensures that no one will see you.
He Yuzhu didn't want to become the subject of gossip about having an affair, even though rumors had long circulated in the alley that he and his neighbor's wife were having an affair.
He Yuzhu then pulled Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong, and Yan Bugui into the conversation. The main idea was for everyone to embarrass themselves together, while Yi Zhonghai and the others would just get freebies.
He Yuzhu directly paid people to spread the word, which naturally caused greater harm.
Now Yi Zhonghai dares not spread this easily, and with a daughter now, things have been peaceful for a while.
"Pillar, you're here?"
As soon as He Yuzhu entered the second courtyard, he heard a woman's voice.
Then Qin Huairu came out from one of the relatively intact rooms.
"Sister-in-law, have you been waiting long?"
"No, I've already eaten before coming here."
He Yuzhu went up and hugged her tightly, and Qin Huairu trembled as if struck by lightning.
Physical attraction is sometimes the most real, and He Yuzhu never expected that he would react so strongly.
"Sister-in-law, I'll give you 100,000 a month. If you're willing, we can be good friends. If not, I'll turn around and leave."
"Zhu Zi, what kind of person do you take me for? Let me tell you, I'm not that kind of person. You're insulting me."
"Sister-in-law, guess who stuck the plug in the cellar? I've been watching you for a long time. What? Is Yi Zhonghai better than me? Better than Brother Dongxu?"
Qin Huairu fell silent, and He Yuzhu directly revealed her deepest secret.
Qin Huairu thought she had hidden it well, and even when people discovered that she and Yi Zhonghai were in the cellar, she managed to fool them.
Jia Zhangshi and Jia Dongxu, so far, are only suspected, and no evidence has been obtained.
He Yuzhu's words made Qin Huairu realize that she had no secrets from him.
This shattered her original plans; if she were pure, she could make many demands of He Yuzhu.
Qin Huairu now feels that the roles of host and guest have shifted.
"Sister-in-law, just say the word, if not, I'm going back to sleep."
"Zhu Zi, I promise you, but you can't forget me in the future."
"Yes, as long as you behave, I will never forget you."
Hearing this, Qin Huairu felt somewhat relieved for the time being.
Things didn't go exactly as she had planned, but they were still under control.
He Yuzhu arrived at the steel rolling mill at 3 p.m., went downstairs for a look around, and then returned to his office to rest.
When Qin Huairu returned to the courtyard, several women asked her what she had been doing at noon.
Qin Huairu said she was going outside to see if there were any cheap vegetables. As luck would have it, she ran into a vegetable vendor, and the vegetables looked quite fresh, so she bought two pounds of vegetables.
Qin Huairu felt that He Yuzhu had indeed been eyeing her for a long time.
Otherwise, how can you explain that there were bed sheets and other small items in the other person's handbag?
Most importantly, they even gave her two pounds of green vegetables before they left, so Qin Huairu no longer had to worry about a reason to leave.
She didn't receive the 100,000 yuan, and now she has to wait until payday, supposedly for some kind of ritual. The worst part is that she's being asked to give the other party 200 yuan in change.
He Yuzhu spent the rest of his days happily.
Aside from the tight lunch break, they also delivered a lot of fresh vegetables.
A year passed slowly, and many small things happened in the courtyard during that year.
Qin Huairu gave birth, and it was another boy, still named Banggeng.
Luo Qiaoyun also gave birth to a girl, and Yi Zhonghai's face darkened for several days. He had longed to flick his son's penis, but now it was a daughter.
His beloved son turned out to be a daughter, leaving him speechless with his burning passion.
The steel rolling mill has expanded to 5,000 people, and the working group members have started eating in the newly built third canteen.
The original steel rolling mill only had two canteens, but now two more have been added.
The four canteens are conveniently located in four different parts of the steel rolling mill, thus addressing the meal needs of all the employees.
