The Courtyard House: He Yuzhu, Who Defied Fate

……

Seeing the surrounding whispers, He Yuzhu shrugged and said innocently:

"Master Yi, as you can see, the He family is a family that keeps its word. If we say we won't pursue the matter, we won't."

It's just that once the story material is published, you can go find whoever pinned the blame on you.

It has nothing to do with us. If I had wanted to target you in the first place, I wouldn't have altered your affairs or name.

We just wanted to show everyone an interesting story.

As for targeting you, to put it arrogantly, you, Yi Zhonghai, are truly unworthy.

I am 24 years old this year, but I am now a Level 1 Engineer, a nationally recognized Level 1 Engineer with a certificate.

You're a level eight worker, and you were just promoted to level eight. What do you have that I want to target you for?

Given my current status and position, I wouldn't do those things if I wanted to target you.

I will write your name directly, or I will even find someone to make things difficult for you.

But I didn't do any of those things, and the steel mill even made an example of you.

We wanted to mold you into a benchmark for level eight workers, but you brought it on yourself by reporting the black market.

They failed to catch anyone and even had their leg broken.

This has nothing to do with me, so you can't pin this on me.

As for who said it, I don't know. You'll have to investigate yourself!

Upon hearing He Yuzhu's words, Yi Zhonghai was speechless. He Yuzhu, however, jokingly added:

“Master Yi, you’re not a child anymore. Let people say a few words if they want. After a while, once this hype dies down, nobody will remember it.”

You can't just rush in and start a fight, can you?

Yi Zhonghai said with great helplessness:

"This wasn't a fight, and I didn't provoke anyone!"

Looking at Yi Zhonghai's injuries, He Yuzhu clicked his tongue and said:

"Tsk tsk tsk, I didn't expect you to be this kind of person, Master Yi. If you want to fight, then fight."

Xu Damao and I used to fight all the time, but that was when we were kids. I admit I fight, no matter when.

"What's there to be ashamed of about admitting you got into a fight?"

Yi Zhonghai shouted in exasperation:

"Stop talking. I didn't fight. I didn't fight. I've already said that."

Someone hit me; I don't even know who did it!

He Yuzhu pretended to have just found out:

"Huh? There are still people this arrogant these days? You've offended someone, haven't you?"

Upon hearing He Yuzhu's words, the others shouted loudly:

"That's right, Master Yi has offended someone. This hasn't been going on for just one day; it's been going on for half a month!"

Upon hearing that person's words, Yi Zhonghai felt that he had lost both face and dignity.

But there's nothing we can do about it; that's the truth.

He Yuzhu knew what was going on, but asked with a sly smile:

"No, sir, I just don't understand. As long as things on the black market aren't too outrageous, no one reports them."

Besides, life is so hard these days. With the black market, people with surplus food at home can use it to pay off their debts.

It's perfectly acceptable for wealthy people to spend their money on food, even though it's illegal, it's been going on for so many years.

The police also knew that if the black market were shut down, even more people would die.

Why can't you understand this? Back in the compound, if anyone reported someone from the compound going to the black market, you'd fight them to the death. Why are you reporting them yourself now?

Upon hearing He Yuzhu's words, Yi Zhonghai was furious. He felt that He Yuzhu was stabbing himself in the back.

Yi Zhonghai stared coldly at He Yuzhu, who in turn met his gaze.

Looking at He Yuzhu, Yi Zhonghai suddenly felt extremely regretful. If only he had known this would happen, he would not have done it in the first place.

If I had truly treated He Yuzhu better back then, and hadn't been greedy for that 2.5 yuan living allowance, I wouldn't be in this situation.

He Yu is now reportedly in charge of a lot of people, although he doesn't visit them often, but Yi Zhonghai heard about it from Song Ziyu.

If there's anything good to eat at He Yuzhu's workplace, even if He Yuzhu doesn't go, he'll send his wife to deliver it to him.

Thinking of this, Yi Zhonghai felt envious and jealous of He Daqing.

I envy He Daqing for having such a good child, and I'm jealous that He Daqing's life is so damn comfortable.

Having He Yuzhu wasn't enough for He Yu, so he married a younger woman, who gave birth to another daughter, He Yuqing.

He Yuqing herself saw it and found it to be very cute and sensible.

Throughout the steel rolling mill, many people liked this little girl. She was sweet-talking, well-behaved, and sensible.

If I had a child like that, I'd be laughing in my sleep.

Suddenly, Yi Zhonghai lost interest. What could he do if it was aimed at him? What could he do if it wasn't aimed at him?

Given my current state, even if I ask the question, what can I do about it?

They're a happy family, while I have nothing.

Thinking of this, Yi Zhonghai's energy and spirit vanished instantly, looking at the lifeless Yi Zhonghai.

He Yuzhu hadn't expected Yi Zhonghai to be so unfazed.

He actually gave up directly, but Yi Zhonghai had schemed against him so many times.

He Yuzhu had already planned this once, so when he saw Yi Zhonghai like this, He Yuzhu didn't say anything.

Instead, he looked at Yi Zhonghai as he left with utter disdain.

He Yuzhu said to He Daqing:

"Dad, do you have time these next few days?"

Chapter 212: If the child is disobedient, a couple of spankings will do the trick.

Hearing He Yuzhu's words, He Daqing shook his head:

"I don't have time these few days, but your mother should be fine, since they're not hiring anymore."

There's not much going on in the HR department, so leaving a little early or taking a day off shouldn't be a problem.

What's up? Want to have a get-together?

He Yuzhu nodded:

"Since we don't have anything else to do, we might as well get together for a meal and a drink, it's nothing serious!"

Hearing He Yuzhu's words, He Daqing nodded:

"You guys eat, I won't go. Although there aren't many ingredients, the cafeteria is always busy precisely because there aren't enough ingredients."

I also have to keep an eye on the cafeteria; there can't be any problems now. People are really going to great lengths for a bite to eat these days!

He Yuzhu said:

"Dad, don't rush in. Wait until everything is over before you come out and deal with it. You're getting old, don't let them accidentally hurt you!"

Although He Daqing is much better than before, he is still selfish and self-serving. He would never step forward to break up a fight. As long as it doesn't affect the cafeteria, he's fine. If it gets damaged, he'll have to pay for it.

No compensation? That won't work. It'll be deducted from your salary, and it won't change your mind even if you disagree.

So He Daqing has handled it this way all these times.

As long as it doesn't affect the cafeteria, He Daqing won't get involved in anything else.

He Daqing knew that his involvement would definitely attract the attention of the steel rolling mill leaders.

He knew he would definitely be promoted, but He Daqing knew his own abilities; he had no chance of becoming an official.

He Daqing is very satisfied with his current life.

He Daqing said to He Yuzhu:

"I know, and I'm not stupid. I won't rush up there. Besides, there's a security department here. It's not my turn to go up."

My main job was to finish the job, assess the damage, and then report it to the factory. The person who did the work would then bear the loss.

If you can't afford to pay, don't do it. But after being fined a few times, no one dared to do it here anymore.

After all, if you have money, you might as well go to the pigeon market and buy some food; what you can grab here isn't anything of great quality.

"Thin porridge and mushy rice!"

In He Daqing's eyes, these thin porridges and mushy rice were life-saving things in other people's eyes.

With this, perhaps the elderly and children in the family won't starve.
