Siheyuan: Since 1962

Chapter 109 Meal Ticket
When Zhou Weimin came back, Xu Damao was already chatting with the guards at the door.

"You're talking about this? Brother Damao, you look so radiant, is there anything happy these days?"

"You bought this for your sister-in-law, right? I'll talk about my business on the way. Go inside first."

Xu Damao winked and said, we have all been through this, there is nothing we don’t understand.

"Give me two minutes."

Zhou Weimin raised his eyebrows and smiled, propped up the cart, carried the oil cakes and went into the house.

He walked into the inner room and saw Jiang Qiuna still sleeping soundly. He put the oil cake on the bedside and bent down to kiss Jiang Qiuna on the lips.

"Um... Weimin..."

Jiang Qiuna called out in a daze.

"I'm going to work. You can sleep a little longer. I've put breakfast by the bed. Remember to eat it when you get up later."

Zhou Weimin resisted the urge to kiss her again, gently gave Jiang Qiuna some instructions, then turned and walked out of the room.

Just as he walked out of the house, Sha Zhu's voice came from the hall.

"Hey, Xu Damao, are you waiting again?"

Xu Damao looked at He Yuzhu and said impatiently, "Silly Zhu, don't make trouble so early in the morning. I don't have time to argue with you."

That is, at the doorstep of Zhou Weimin's house, otherwise he would have to say something bad to this fool.

"Who wants to argue with you? Just follow Zhou Weimin around. I want to see what benefits you can get."

He Yuzhu walked slowly past Xu Damao.

"Brother Damao, ignore him and let's go."

Zhou Weimin looked at Sha Zhu with contempt, said hello, and pushed the cart out.

This idiot just went out to cook a meal and he started making a fuss. I really don't know where he gets the confidence from.

"Hey! I..."

"Zhu Zi, please stop talking."

He Yuzhu was about to argue with Zhou Weimin when he was stopped by Yi Zhonghai.

"When will you control your temper? Zhou Weimin is now the deputy director of the cafeteria. If you quarrel with him, you will be the one who suffers."

He Yuzhu said loudly in frustration: "My family has been hired farmers for three generations, and Zhou Weimin can still kick me out of the factory!"

He also knew that what the uncle said was right, but he couldn't get over the fact that Zhou Weimin was suppressing him like this.

"I can't kick you out of the factory, but if he tries to do something bad and transfers you to the workshop, what will you do? You and Zhou Weimin don't have any big grudges, so don't always think about making trouble with him."

Yi Zhonghai's tone was a bit of a scolding. He didn't want Sha Zhu to foolishly walk into the trap and end up not being able to stay in the cafeteria.

He Yuzhu said in annoyance: "Uncle, don't tell me this, you should tell Zhou Weimin instead."

He had a very good relationship with Zhou Weimin before, and he didn't know how it turned out like this.

It seemed like it started from the time he had a fight with Zhou Weibing, but he was also beaten that time. Why is Zhou Weimin so petty?

"You two are in this situation now, what can I say? Just behave yourself for now and don't make trouble with him. The relationship will ease up after a while. Then we can find a chance to talk things out and it will be over. We all live in the same yard, there's nothing you can't get over." Yi Zhonghai advised softly, but there was reluctance in his eyes.

He didn't know what leverage Zhou Weimin had on him, so he could only do everything he could to let Zhou Weimin see his sincerity and not ruin his good deeds.

"Okay, okay, I won't bother with him, okay? He's just a small official."

He Yuzhu scratched his hair in annoyance and muttered in dissatisfaction.

Why are so many people helping Zhou Weimin to criticize him? He didn't want things to turn out like this.

Qin Huairu patted Sha Zhu and said with a chuckle, "Zhu Zi, the uncle is doing this for your own good. It's nothing. Just pretend you don't know each other. Just do your job and go out to cook for the banquet when you have time. Your life will still be prosperous as always."

Sha Zhu is now her biggest meal ticket, and she can’t let anything happen to him again.

Early this morning, she got a lot of good things, which were no worse than when Sha Zhu was the host, and there were even a lot more things.

It's better to be like this. Zhou Weimin is not someone you can easily mess with. What's the point of going against him? There's no benefit at all.

"Well, it has to be my sister Qin. I don't rely on Zhou Weimin, so I can live my life just fine without paying attention to him."

After hearing Qin Huairu's words, He Yuzhu felt relieved and a smile appeared on his face.

His skills are there for you to see, and he can live a good life anyway, so why bother to care about Zhou Weimin's face?

"Zhu Zi, it's good that you think so. There was something that happened because you came back late yesterday, and I didn't have time to tell you. Clean up the house today. You want to find a girl in the factory, right? I have a letter here, and I will bring it to you tomorrow night."

Yi Zhonghai gave Qin Huairu an approving look, and then started talking about introducing Sha Zhu.

He was right about the person. Qin Huairu was capable and could save him a lot of trouble.

"Uncle, you should have told me earlier. I have an appointment to cook a banquet this evening, so I won't have time to clean the house when I get home."

He Yuzhu became anxious when he heard this. These two things happened at the same time. If the house was not cleaned up, the girl would run away as soon as she came.

But he was so tired every day during this period, and even the girls he dreamed of were not as pretty as before, and were not as pretty as Sister Qin.

After coming back from the feast, how could I want to move?

"Zhu Zi, don't worry. If you don't have time, I'll be there for you. When I get off work, I'll help you clean up the house and make sure it's clean when the girl comes over tomorrow."

Qin Huairu chuckled and stopped the job.

Sha Zhu sent her so many things in the morning, so naturally she had to show some appreciation, otherwise Sha Zhu might not bring anything to her house.

"Hey, Sister Qin, you've helped me a lot. Don't worry, I'll go cook for the banquet today and give you half of what I bring back."

He Yuzhu breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this and immediately promised a benefit.

If we weren't meeting tomorrow, I would have to have some good stuff to liven up the occasion. Everything I bring back can be given to Sister Qin.

Qin Huairu's smile suddenly disappeared from her face, and she said angrily, "Zhu Zi, who do you think I am? Am I cleaning the house for you just for your things?"

"Hey, hey, hey, my bad, my bad, it's my fault that I didn't explain clearly. I was planning to send some of this to you, Sister Qin, but I just said it casually. That's really not what I meant."

He Yuzhu thought that he had said something wrong and quickly begged for forgiveness and admitted his mistake.

Qin Huairu turned her head away, looking hurt, but she couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth upwards, and then let them go down again.
