The door of the courtyard house has been welded dead

Chapter 1053: Widow Treating Widow

The courtyard seemed to have regained its former tranquility.

Life went on as usual, but matters concerning the steel mill’s family quarters undoubtedly became a much-talked-about topic among people around them.

After being reported in the newspapers, the scenes of demolition and bustling work on the construction site really made the name of the Dongcheng District Red Star Steel Rolling Mill famous.

Without exception, they were all envious. When they saw other factories investing heavily in building family quarters, leaders of other units also had to get involved.

After leaving the steel mill, Liu Lan once again asked someone to find her a temporary job as a food waitress in the kitchen of Jishuitan Hospital.

Of course, serving food is the main job, and the secondary job is hygiene and cleaning, washing dishes, etc. Anyway, you have to be responsible for doing all the miscellaneous work. It is much busier and more tiring than in the third canteen.

Whenever people around her mentioned the steel mill, she would subconsciously avoid it, always thinking that others were talking about her behind her back and what was happening there.

"Liu Lan, didn't you work in a steel mill before? The efficiency of this mill is so good. I heard that they are going to build an area of ​​200 to 300 acres~!"

The co-workers are generally older than her. At this age, they are basically chatterboxes. As they chat, they can't help but think of Liu Lan, who usually doesn't talk much.

After all, when she came here, she basically knew where she had worked before.

"Hey~, where in the city is there such a large piece of land? Their family quarters are in the suburbs, over by Liangma River. My second aunt's relatives told me so~!"

One of the gossipy women quickly interrupted the inquiry and started showing off what she knew. Although she was a little envious, she was still mostly belittling.

Why belittle it? Because she can't afford to live there.

"Oh, you haven't lived enough in these houses in the city. You have to turn sideways to cross the alley. They say it's a suburb, but it's not far from their factory. Their factory is in Dongzhimen, Liu Lan, don't you think so~?"

The aunt who asked the question still had no intention of letting Liu Lan go. She glanced at the person who answered her question, but her attention was still on Liu Lan.

Liu Lan, who was wiping the oil stains with a rag, had no other choice but to stop the work at hand, stood up, patted his lower back, and then spoke.

"Well, the factory mentioned this last year. However, family housing has nothing to do with a temporary worker like me. Only regular workers and cadres can get it. I didn't care too much about it~!"

Wiping the sweat off her cheeks, Liu Lan, who had just arrived, did not intend to offend anyone in the kitchen, so she told everyone what she knew.

"Hey, if you still want to work, you should find a regular job in the factory. Not only can you help me, but I can also enjoy the benefits~!"

Another aunt who was slacking off was wiping the table slowly with a rag in her hand. When she heard what Liu Lan said, she smacked her lips with a look of regret.

"Look at what you said, Sister Fan. Who would be interested in me, a widow with three children? Wouldn't I be a burden~!"

Liu Lan squatted back down, washed the dirty rag in the basin, wrung it dry, and answered casually.

"Oh, you have a hard life, but that's it. Maybe Director Liu kept you here. To be honest, it must be because our Director Liu is kind-hearted~!"

The topic unknowingly shifted from Liu Lan to the canteen director. Even though the person was not there, the horses were photographed one after another.

By the time she got off work, Liu Lan was so tired that she couldn't even lift her waist. She leaned on the table with both hands. It took her a long time to catch her breath.

At this time, not only were her clothes dirty, but her body was also soaked with sweat. She forced a smile, greeted each of her colleagues, put on the cloth bag on the hook, and then walked out of the hospital.

Walking along the wall beside the hospital towards home, Liu Lan tilted her head and rummaged through the cloth bag for the key. When she subconsciously looked up, she was stunned.

A figure not far from the hospital gate, with his hands in his pockets and one leg knocking against the wall, was also looking at him.

"He Yuzhu?"

Looking at his expression, one could tell that he was waiting for someone. Liu Lan frowned, subconsciously thinking that he was waiting for Qin Huairu.

Muttering to himself, Liu Lan did not slow down. He chose to go around to the side and walked over without looking around.

"Hey~ Hey~ Hey~, I was waiting for you, but you didn't even say hello when you saw me?"

Seeing the real person appear and ignoring him even though he clearly saw him, He Yuzhu couldn't pretend anymore and grabbed Liu Lan's arm. "I don't know you, please let go of your hand, there are guards at the door, don't make me shout~!"

Waiting for me, saying hello, that was impossible. Liu Lan was as cold as ice at this moment, and the words she spoke seemed to cool the air around her by ten degrees.

He stared straight at He Yuzhu's hand that was pulling his arm, and then looked towards the hospital entrance, as if he was ready to call for help at any time. He didn't want to listen to any explanation from He Yuzhu at all.

"You shout, you shout, I'll shout for you, but I won't let go. I will never let go again in my life~!"

He Yuzhu put on a playful look, like a gangster. He didn't even have to pretend. As long as he forced out that lewd smile, the security guards would probably just slap their heads when they saw it.

Liu Lan's chest rose and fell, showing that her heart was not as calm as she looked on the outside.

He Yuzhu only uttered two sentences from beginning to end, but the meaning contained in the two sentences couldn't help but give rise to certain fantasies in her.

"You're crazy! I'm warning you, don't come to me in the future. I don't want to have anything to do with you anymore. I already have someone I like, who is a thousand times better than you~!"

Liu Lan shook off He Yuzhu's arm with an impatient look on her face and sneered, almost spitting in He Yuzhu's face.

"Hey, I was able to find out this much, so I must have been to your house. I've been following you for several days. You don't have a partner, and you still want to fool me~!"

Although Liu Lan had scolded him, He Yuzhu was still unruly. He looked around with an uncertain gaze and directly confronted Liu Lan who was turning around to leave.

"What do you mean, you followed me, He Yuzhu, what on earth do you want to do?"

Liu Lan hurriedly took a few steps back, looking at He Yuzhu with vigilant eyes, holding her cloth bag tightly in both hands. If he dared... she would definitely pick up the cloth bag and smash his dog head.

He Yuzhu put his hands in his pockets again, took a few steps forward, chewed his lips dryly a few times, and looked at Liu Lan sincerely.

"I also left the steel mill and now work at Fengze Garden. I really have nothing to do with Qin Huairu~!"

After scratching his head for a while, He Yuzhu told Liu Lan about his recent situation. After rubbing his nose, he secretly looked at her. He was a little greedy.

"Whether you have any relationship with her or not, it has nothing to do with me anymore. We have broken up. He Yuzhu, I hope you won't come to me again~!"

"Listen to me first. I'm really annoyed with her now. I feel like she's just trying to cheat me out of my money and has been using me all along. I was blind before and thought she was really helping me. Now that I've come to my senses, I feel like you're the one who's really good to me~!"

"You control me because I have no control over money and spend money lavishly. She only knows how to borrow money from me. I don't want to help her anymore. I've already told her that she is her and I am me. I don't care about their Jia family's affairs~!"

He Yuzhu interrupted Liu Lan and blurted out what he wanted to say. Liu Lan, who was standing next to him, just stared at him.

The look was somewhat creepy.

"Yes, I bought some food for the child these days. I'm not following you. The child told me about it. I really have changed my mind~!"

After hearing He Yuzhu's explanation, Liu Lan's frown couldn't help but relax. She looked into the distance, not knowing what she was thinking.

"What is Qin Huairu doing recently?"

"Ok?"

Hearing Liu Lan's much softer tone, He Yuzhu pursed his lips, wondering why she asked this.

"I don't know either. I have to go to work at Fengze Garden during the day and only go back at night. It's hard to meet her normally. A few days ago, she mentioned that she wanted to help me wash my clothes, but I didn't dare to let her do it, so I came to find you right away. I'm really afraid of her now~!"

"Washing clothes? It's okay. Let her wash them. You want to make peace with us, right? Let her wash the clothes, sheets, socks and pants. I will make peace with you, but the premise is that you let her do these things and you can't pay her a penny~!"

"Ah~!"

He Yuzhu was completely confused now. He didn't know what the reconciliation of their relationship was related to washing clothes for Qin Huairu.
"Whether it's summer clothes or winter quilts, take this opportunity to wash them all for her~!"

"Remember, don't give her money~!"

Liu Lan gently patted He Yuzhu's cheek and left these words.
