Courtyard House: Starting as an engineer, crushing a yard full of poultry

They send leftover food every day, and give us two big steamed buns in the cafeteria. At most, they just touch our little hands.

This caught He Yuzhu off guard, his face turning red as he looked somewhat bewildered.

"Sister Qin, what are you doing? It's in the yard, it's not good if everyone sees you! Here's what I'll do, I'm going back to cook for the boss's family this afternoon, and I'll still bring any leftovers to your house."

"As for clothes, you can wash them if you want, or leave them as is if you don't. It doesn't matter."

He Yuzhu ultimately couldn't withstand Qin Huairu's offensive.

In just a few moves, they had He Yuzhu's little scheme completely under their control.

However, He Yuzhu wasn't too carried away; there was a beautiful young woman waiting for him outside.

Continuing to linger here will not lead to anything.

As for 387, if Qin Huairu were really willing, wouldn't I be able to have my cake and eat it too?

At least there's a safety net, so you don't end up with nothing.

Thinking of this, He Yuzhu withdrew his hands and went back into the house to change into his cleanest clothes.

She even smeared some lard on her head, making her hair shiny and slick.

He sported a slicked-back hairstyle and looked like some kind of local leader.

He Yuzhu carefully examined himself in the mirror for a while and felt that there was absolutely nothing wrong with his current outfit.

He could easily charm a girl from the countryside.

Full of confidence, he whistled and swaggered out of the courtyard.

This scene was clearly seen by Li Xiangdong, who had just finished washing up outside.

"Silly Zhu, silly Zhu, you have the desire but not the courage. Yu Haitang isn't a good person either. But it's not fair that you got off easy."

"If I remember correctly, Xu Damao, that scoundrel, has never had children, and his relationship with Lou Xiao'e is just one of mutual exploitation. It seems we can kill two birds with one stone. Let's seize this opportunity and teach the two of them a lesson."

"We don't know what that real scoundrel Xu Damao will do next (cgcb), but that sycophant Shazhu needs to be taught a lesson."

Li Xiangdong immediately had an idea. He silently finished washing up and returned to his room.

……

Outside the courtyard house, in the alley.

Yu Haitang saw He Yuzhu walking towards her with an air of grandeur from afar.

He had the air of a high-ranking leader, very imposing.

Yu Haitang felt nauseous watching this; he was clearly just a cook, yet he acted like a leader.

But it doesn't matter, as long as I can get in touch with He Yuzhu.

I'll get myself a city residency permit later; I can worry about the rest later.

Obtaining a city residency permit is extremely difficult; otherwise, Yu Haitang wouldn't have resorted to such a desperate measure.

It should be noted that He Yuzhu is not very old, but he looks much older than his age, which makes it hard for people to bring themselves to eat him.

However, adhering to the principle of "if you don't get something for nothing, you're missing out," I'll still make sure to fleece He Yuzhu today.

Let's sound out He Yuzhu's opinion again, so we can make plans for the future.

"Brother Zhu, you look really handsome. You must be doing very well at the steel mill. I heard from others that you are very capable, eating white flour buns and big fish and meat for every meal."

Yu Haitang's flattery made He Yuzhu feel a little smug.

They really think they're a big leader. Anyone who hears such flattery would be confused.

"Sister Haitang, those are just rumors passed around by them. You can't believe everything. I don't have much ability. I just manage about ten people in the kitchen of the steel rolling mill. Every day, I cook and serve them food, so there's no shortage of food."

"Today I'm mainly taking you out for a walk. Is there any place you particularly want to go or any food you'd like to eat? Just tell me, it's on me."

He Yuzhu touched his slightly bulging pocket, looking completely unconcerned.

In reality, He Yuzhu knew very well that he only had about 50 yuan left.

It's all saved up. If we really eat and drink well today, it might not be enough.

But what kind of place could a girl from the countryside possibly know?

Just take her to a slightly upscale restaurant, have a meal and some drinks, and that'll be fine.

"Brother Zhu is so handsome and rich, then I won't be polite. I've heard that Peking duck in Beijing is the best. Brother, can you take me to eat some Peking duck? I've never eaten Peking duck in Beijing before."

As Yu Haitang spoke, she stepped forward and grabbed He Yuzhu's hand, making He Yuzhu's heart flutter like a deer.

As an older man, He Yuzhu could only occasionally touch the widow's hand.

I've never touched this little girl's hand before, and this one touch has been incredible.

He Yuzhu was so excited that his face turned red and he was almost out of control.

These little hands are so smooth and tender, they're in a completely different league from Qin Huairu's.

No matter how beautiful Qin Huairu is or how good her figure is, she can't compete with Yu Haitang's youth!

Yu Haitang's move brought He Yuzhu's attention back to the present.

He quickly grabbed Yu Haitang's small hand and pulled her towards Quanjude.

……

In the courtyard.

Qin Huairu came out of He Yuzhu's room, carrying a pile of dirty clothes.

He picked up the washboard next to him and began to wash the clothes carefully.

She looked exactly like a virtuous wife and loving mother, but at that moment, Qin Huairu's mind was in turmoil.

Yu Haitang is young, beautiful, and educated. Most importantly, she is still a virgin with no burdens.

Today, Qin Huairu also realized that He Yuzhu's attention had shifted somewhat away from her.

All of this stems from the arrival of Yu Haitang.

Yu Haitang is related to Yu Li's family, so if Yu Haitang really manages to abduct Sha Zhu...

Then my family's food and drink will be a problem from now on. We only have a little money each month, and Jia Zhangshi will take some of it away.

Normally, it's practically impossible to eat meat.

Whether or not we can make some white flour paste depends on whether anything unpleasant happens this month.

In short, He Yuzhu absolutely cannot be so easily lured away by Yu Haitang.

I must intervene in this matter to ensure that Yu Haitang has no chance to abduct He Yuzhu.

Only in this way can we protect our family's granary.

Thinking of this, Qin Huairu seemed to remember someone.

If this person were to step forward, it would definitely ruin He Yuzhu's image in Yu Haitang's mind.

Chapter 85 The Pawn Xu Damao

Inside Li Xiangdong's room.

"Xiao Li, you don't have anything planned for the weekend. Go wherever you want to go. Here's 100 yuan. Go to the department store and see if there's anything you want to buy, like food or drinks."

"Just buy it generously, don't worry about the money. My salary is very high now, and I get a lot of bonuses, so this amount of money is not a problem for me."

Li Xiangdong wanted to get Yu Li away so he could talk to Xu Damao about something.

We can't always leave Yu Li on the sidelines; after all, Yu Haitang is Yu Li's cousin.

If Yu Li were to have any qualms about ruining her plans, it would be a losing proposition.

Besides, it had been a while since I'd taken Yu Li to the department store.

Girls, after all, still want to buy some little trinkets and the like.

Let Yu Li go and explore on her own.

"Brother Dong, I know you're making a lot of money now, and this amount isn't a huge sum for you, but we still need to be a little more frugal. Besides, what do I have to buy?"

"Okay, I won't take the 100 yuan. Just give me 20 yuan and I'll go take a look around. I'll see if I have any more sugar or other things at home that I need to replenish."

Yu Li's kind words made Li Xiangdong feel even more at ease.

Having such a virtuous and beautiful wife is such a wonderful thing!

If we renovate this courtyard house, generations of people will never have to worry about food and clothing.

However, Li Xiangdong did not take back the 100 yuan, but instead stuffed it into Yu Li's hand.

"Xiaoli, our marriage is a done deal. It's time for you to take charge of the money in the house. You can take it and buy whatever you want. Keep the rest as your own little savings. You can use it whenever you need it."

"Besides, isn't my money your money too? Don't worry about it so much. If you don't have enough, you'll have to come back for more, which is even more inconvenient."

Hearing Li Xiangdong say this, Yu Li could only nod.

She was secretly delighted; the two weren't even married yet, and Li Xiangdong already trusted her so much.

This made Yu Li even happier, having such a handsome, high-earning husband with great potential for advancement.

In this day and age, that's one in a million. For a girl from the countryside like myself to have such good fortune is truly remarkable.
