Courtyard House: Starting in a Ceramics Factory

Chapter 197 Jia Zhangshi's Reaction
Regardless, Qin Huairu was still very worried about this matter. Although she hadn't been involved in it before, she was still aware of what had happened.

The mother-in-law wanted to give herself and Dongxu their own space, since it wasn't good for so many people to be crammed together.

Qin Huairu was aware of this matter, so she ultimately acquiesced to her mother-in-law and Dongxu's actions.

After all, Qin Huairu knew that as a woman, she couldn't control this matter, and it was her mother-in-law's decision. Given Dongxu's filial nature, he would support his mother's decision.

When Qin Huairu thought of this, she became even more nervous.

At this moment, a hint of worry was visible on Qin Huairu's face.

At this moment, Sha Zhu seemed to notice something unusual on Qin Huairu's face, so he asked her with some doubt.

"Qin Huairu, do you know that Brother Li Feng has become a cadre? Are you unhappy?"

When Qin Huairu heard Sha Zhu's words, she was startled and immediately denied them to Sha Zhu in a flustered voice.

"No.".

"No.".

"I'm not unhappy."

At this moment, not only Sha Zhu, but also several old men noticed something unusual about Qin Huairu's face, but none of them said anything.

After all, they were the senior officers in charge of the courtyard, and since it was better to avoid trouble, they didn't ask about Qin Huairu's somewhat strange expression.

Because they adhere to the principle of "it's better to do less than more".

In other words, the authorities won't investigate unless someone specifically asks them to take charge, in which case they can only handle that matter.

At this moment, the old man couldn't help but glare at Sha Zhu.

"Silly Pillar."

"Just do your own thing."

"Keep this photo safe. When Li Feng comes back, you must give it to him intact."

"If anything goes wrong, I'll hold you accountable."

The old man said this to Sha Zhu for two reasons: first, he wanted Sha Zhu to stay out of trouble; second, he wanted to deliver the photo safely to Li Feng, since Li Feng was now a person of status.

If something is lost, it will have a negative impact.

Now Li Feng knows all the important people. If anything happens, they'll have to come to him.
So now the old man quickly instructed Sha Zhu to make sure the photo was delivered to Li Feng, and even if there was something wrong with the photo, he could exonerate himself.

Yi Zhonghai also knew what he should be involved in, what he shouldn't be involved in, and when it was appropriate to distance himself from the situation.

So he gave Shazhu these instructions.

After hearing what the eldest uncle said, the second uncle couldn't help but speak to Sha Zhu as well.

"Silly Pillar."

"Did you hear what that old man just said?"

"You must remember what the old man said. If anything happens, I won't let you off the hook."

Liu Haizhong's purpose in saying this was to establish the old man's status and then to emphasize the importance of the photo.

To be honest, my second uncle has a little bit of skill, but not much.

As for the Third Uncle, he told Sha Zhu to be careful, and then told everyone that he was going back first.

After hearing what the third uncle said, the old man nodded to the old man.

"Alright, Lao Yan, you can go back now."

The old man nodded and then left the courtyard.

After the third uncle left, Sha Zhu then addressed the two uncles, Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong, in a gesture of agreement.

"Uncle, Uncle, don't you trust me?"

"Am I the kind of person who lets things fall apart?"

"Besides, this is a photo of my brother Li Feng, and I will definitely hand it over to him intact."

After hearing Sha Zhu's assurance, Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong nodded and left. They had other things to do, so they both left Sha Zhu's house.

At this point, only Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu remained at the table.

At this moment, Qin Huairu saw that the first and third uncles had left, so she also spoke to Sha Zhu.

"Silly Pillar."

"I've finished washing the clothes, so I'll head back now."

Sha Zhu nodded and said.

"Ok".

"Okay."

"Then be careful."

After Qin Huairu responded to Sha Zhu, she picked up the bucket of washed clothes and left.

Actually, Qin Huairu's clothes weren't washed yet; there were still two pieces of clothing in the bucket that hadn't been washed. However, Qin Huairu wasn't in the mood to wash clothes at the moment.

After all, Qin Huairu had thought of many things just now.

So she wasn't in the mood to stay there any longer. After saying goodbye to Sha Zhu, Qin Huairu left Sha Zhu's house.

Seeing that everyone had left, Sha Zhu took the framed photo into the house.

Just as Sha Zhu was returning home with the photo frame, He Yushui came back from outside.

At this moment, she saw her older brother holding a large photo frame, so she couldn't help but ask Sha Zhu curiously.

"elder brother".

"What is this?"

"How can it be so big?"

After He Yushui finished speaking, she curiously moved closer to Sha Zhu and began to look at the photo frame in Sha Zhu's hand.

After hearing He Yushui's words, Shazhu put the photo on the table and then explained to his sister.

"Oh".

"This is a photo of Li Feng with a high-ranking leader."

When He Yushui heard what her brother said, she couldn't help but ask him with a curious expression.

"A photo of Brother Feng with the big boss?"

After saying this, He Yushui turned her gaze to the photograph.

At this moment, He Yushui saw that there were many soldiers in military uniforms in the photo.

After about ten seconds, He Yushui spotted Li Feng in the middle and excitedly told Sha Zhu.

"I saw Brother Feng..."

"Right in the middle."

"Huh?"

"Why is he taking pictures with so many soldiers?"

"That's so strange."

When Sha Zhu heard what his sister He Yushui said, he explained to her.

"Li Feng has become a cadre. This is a photo of him with a high-ranking leader."

"Did you see the guy in the Zhongshan suit next to him?"

He Yushui then carefully observed the elderly cadre in a Zhongshan suit next to Li Feng, and then she couldn't help but ask her older brother some questions.

"You saw it?"

"What's wrong?".

Only then did Sha Zhu explain to He Yushui.

"This is the big boss, he's several levels higher than our factory director."

"Li Feng knows a high-ranking leader, and he even took a photo with him."

"If Li Feng didn't know the top leader, he wouldn't be able to stand next to him."

"Furthermore, the soldiers surrounding Li Feng are all veteran cadres."

"I reckon he must be a pretty high-ranking official."

After hearing her brother's analysis, He Yushui's eyes widened, and she looked at her brother, Shazhu, in surprise. "What?"

"Does Brother Feng know a high-ranking leader?"

"When did this happen?"

"How come I didn't know?"

"Didn't Brother Feng tell me last time that he was just an ordinary apprentice at the ceramics factory?"

Sha Zhu shook his head at his sister.

"Definitely not."

“Now Li Feng is a cadre, and he often rides in cars belonging to his superiors.”

"If it's a regular organization, is it okay to ride in a car provided by a higher-level organization?"

"Besides, those who picked up Li Feng were all cadres. If Li Feng were an ordinary worker, would he have received such treatment?"

He Yushui was a little confused, and then she shook her head at her brother.

"I don't think we get that kind of treatment, do we?"

Actually, He Yushui didn't understand this kind of thing either, but at this moment she felt that what her brother said made a lot of sense.

At this moment, Sha Zhu immediately said to his younger sister, He Yushui.

"Of course not. Even the director of our steel rolling mill doesn't get this treatment. Not to mention, even the old man in our compound doesn't get this treatment."

"You're saying Li Feng isn't a cadre, then what is he?"

At this moment, He Yushui never expected that Li Feng had become so capable, even becoming a cadre.

In just a few months, he had achieved such a high level of success, which made He Yushui begin to envy Li Feng.

So He Yushui nodded to her brother Shazhu and said.

"Brother, if you put it that way, then Brother Feng really is a cadre."

"Brother Feng has only been working in the factory for a few months, and he's already become a manager. I thought you had to go to a vocational school or university to become a manager."

After hearing his sister's words, Sha Zhu couldn't help but speak earnestly to her.

"So, if you want to become a cadre, you definitely have to rely on your own efforts."

“Let me tell you, the person in charge of logistics in our factory doesn’t have any formal education, but he’s still a manager.”

"But speaking of which, Li Feng is really amazing. He became a cadre without making a sound. We didn't even know about it. If someone hadn't brought us photos today, we wouldn't have known about it either."

"When Li Feng comes back, I'll have to ask him a lot of questions."

the other side

After returning home, Qin Huairu was somewhat absent-minded.

After all, Li Feng has become a cadre, so what about his conflicts with his family?
Qin Huairu felt upset just thinking about it. Although she had no conflict with Li Feng and they would greet each other when they met.

But if he becomes a cadre, won't that be detrimental to his family?
This is what Qin Huairu is most worried about right now.

Just then, Jia Zhangshi returned with some local specialties and food.

At this moment, Banggeng saw Jia Zhangshi return, and he happily jumped into her arms, then looked at the things in his grandmother's hands with a curious expression.

When Jia Zhangshi saw her beloved grandson, she smiled and patted Banggeng's head. Then she squatted down, took out a package of food wrapped in yellow oil paper from the basket, and handed it to Banggeng.

"These are fried peanuts that my grandma bought for me."

Upon hearing Jia Zhangshi's words, Banggeng quickly took the peanuts from his grandmother's hand and then smiled at her.

"Thank you, Grandma."

After saying that, Banggeng quickly took the peanuts to the side, then opened the package wrapped in butter paper, picked up the peanuts inside, and started eating.

At this moment, Qin Huairu supported her lower back with her hand, walked to Jia Zhangshi's side, and called out "Mom" to Jia Zhangshi.

Upon hearing her daughter-in-law Qin Huairu's voice, Jia Zhangshi looked at Qin Huairu and then frowned as she spoke to her.

"Huai Ru, you should go back inside right away."

"You're carrying our Jia family's grandson."

At this moment, Qin Huairu paid no attention to Jia Zhangshi's words, and instead spoke to Jia Zhangshi.

"mom".

"Li Feng has become a cadre."

When Qin Huairu finished speaking, Jia Zhangshi was stunned. Then she thought she had misheard, so she asked Qin Huairu again.

"Huai Ru, what did you just say?"

"What happened to Li Feng?"

So Qin Huairu repeated it to Jia Zhangshi again.

"Li Feng has become a cadre."

After Qin Huairu finished speaking, she then began to tell Jia Zhangshi about what had just happened at Sha Zhu's doorstep.

When Jia Zhangshi heard Qin Huairu's words, she was completely stunned.

She never expected that Li Feng would become a cadre, and that he would know so many other cadres.

This surprised her greatly.

However, she found it hard to believe what her daughter-in-law had just said, so she couldn't help but ask Qin Huairu for confirmation.

"Is everything you just said true?"

Qin Huairu nodded to her mother-in-law and then confirmed.

"Everything I said is true, and the three old men in the courtyard can testify to it."

After confirming it several times, Jia Zhangshi finally believed what Qin Huairu had said.

At this moment, she didn't expect that Li Feng, that brat, would be so lucky, actually becoming a cadre. No wonder he bought a bicycle recently.

That's what love is.

At this time, Jia Zhangshi was very surprised that Li Feng had become a cadre.

After all, these were things she hadn't expected.

Most importantly, Li Feng was about to be driven away by her, but unexpectedly he found a worker's job, which thwarted her plan. Now he has even become a cadre, which makes Jia Zhangshi feel quite troubled.

These were all things I hadn't expected.

At this moment, Qin Huairu asked her mother-in-law with a worried expression.

"mom".

"What should we do?"

"Now Li Feng has become a cadre."

When Jia Zhangshi heard Qin Huairu's words, she seemed somewhat dismissive.

"So what if he became a cadre?"

"Is that amazing?"

"He can also commit murder and arson?"

"What are you afraid of?"

"If anything goes wrong, I'll take the blame."

"If he does anything, I'll fight him to the death."

"All you need to do now is take good care of your pregnancy."

"Now I'm just waiting for you to give our Jia family another grandson."

However, Qin Huairu was still a little worried after hearing her mother-in-law's words, but Jia Zhangshi did not take Qin Huairu's worries seriously.

Because Jia Zhangshi believed that even if Li Feng wanted to retaliate against her family after becoming a cadre, she would fight him to the death.

Besides, I'm already so old, I'm sure I'll be in the right then and there. At that point, that brat surnamed Li might not even be able to stay in his position as a cadre.

Therefore, although Jia Zhangshi was surprised that Li Feng had become a cadre, she was not afraid of it at all.

If things get really bad, I can just go to his workplace and make a scene myself.

Therefore, Jia Zhangshi did not believe that Li Feng would dare to retaliate against her.
