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

“My brother-in-law said that the other day, the deaf old lady gave us candy, but none of the three of us brothers wanted to eat it. As a result, Banggeng snatched it all away. When we came back that night, Banggeng stopped talking and stayed like that for several days. We don’t know why.”

Yu Wen said honestly.

Li Xiangdong immediately realized that the deaf old woman was probably indeed a spy from an enemy country, just as he had suspected.

It seems there really are spies from an enemy country above.

Who knows, he might be an important person, otherwise why would his information be leaked so quickly?

The deaf old lady was quick to target the children in her own home.

Fortunately, I had brought good food and drinks when I visited Yu Dajiang's house before.

If it were a slightly poorer, average family, they would definitely have fallen for the deaf old lady's trick.

The candy must have been poisoned.

How could a perfectly healthy person suddenly become silent and withdrawn for no reason?

Who knows, she might have been poisoned into being mute by the deaf old lady.

Of course, these are all just Li Xiangdong's own guesses, since there is no real evidence.

"You little brats did a really good job. Remember, from now on, you are not allowed to accept anything from strangers, no matter how good it is. If you want to eat something, tell your brother-in-law. As long as it is reasonable, your brother-in-law will definitely buy it for you."

Li Xiangdong patted the heads of the three Yu brothers.

"Brother-in-law, don't worry, we definitely won't take their things. Her candies are outdated, they're nothing compared to the candies you brought."

Yu Wu quickly replied.

Li Xiangdong nodded and took his three younger brothers out for a good day of fun.

We had a delicious roast duck lunch outside.

The three brothers ate until their mouths were covered in oil, and they were very happy.

……

in the afternoon.

Just as it was finally time to leave work, Qin Huairu heard the message that it was time to get off work.

They were also in a hurry, rushing to the market to buy some things.

We can't come back for lunch; we eat at the steel rolling mill.

We must make sure to give the child a good meal tonight. Yesterday, I finally managed to get ten yuan from that stingy Jia Zhangshi.

Qin Huairu was also very frugal; she bought some pork, some vegetables, and half a pound of flour.

After buying everything, I'll go home and cook a nice meal for the kids.

Bang Geng is acting very strangely; these past few days, no matter how delicious the food is, he refuses to eat it.

He never complained of being hungry, as if he had become a completely different person.

Qin Huairu also expressed deep doubts about this.

Back in the room, he saw Jia Zhangshi lying on the bed, looking quite relaxed and content.

This made Qin Huairu feel a little angry, since she didn't have to do anything at home.

It's just about feeding the two kids.

Madam Jia ignored them, even though they were her own granddaughter and grandson.

I see Xiao Dang getting thinner every day.

He looked malnourished, and Qin Huairu was filled with mixed feelings.

After preparing the meal and letting Xiaodang finish eating, Qin Huairu slipped out of the house again to find He Yuzhu.

They had finally managed to sabotage the relationship between He Yuzhu and Yu Haitang through Xu Damao.

I need to take advantage of this opportunity, relying solely on my meager monthly salary.

They simply can't support this family.

We still need He Yuzhu to bring back some leftovers.

Only in this way can the family have some food and oil, so that the children don't look malnourished.

"Zhu Zi, this is my sister Qin. Do you have any clothes you need to change into? I'll wash them for you when I have time."

Qin Huairu knocked on the door and spoke softly.

"Sister Qin, the door isn't locked, please come in."

He Yuzhu said vaguely.

Qin Huairu pushed open the door and saw He Yuzhu wolfing down his food.

It looks like leftovers brought back from the steel rolling mill.

That was braised pork and a mixed stew, which I made for lunch.

There was still half a steamed bun left on the table.

"Sister Qin, is something wrong again? You haven't come to see me much lately."

Upon hearing this, Qin Huairu realized that He Yuzhu's demeanor was a bit off!

Actually, Yi Zhonghai secretly gave all of this to He Yuzhu.

The goal was to get He Yuzhu and Qin Huairu together so that he could do his own thing later.

Chapter 115 Flirting at Night

“Zhu Zi, look at what you’re saying. Haven’t I been good enough to you? It’s not because of what happened between you and Yu Haitang that I’m afraid it will ruin your future. I know you want to find a wife as soon as possible so you can settle down and start a family and not stay single forever.”

Qin Huairu spoke insincerely.

He Yuzhu felt a surge of anger whenever Yu Haitang was mentioned.

He Yuzhu had genuinely believed that Yu Haitang might have taken a liking to him.

Being together as a couple is a good outcome.

Yu Haitang is good-looking and has a good figure; in many ways, she has achieved what she wanted.

But who would have thought that Yu Haitang would be two-timing him, first making plans with him, and then running off with Xu Damao.

Now look what's happened, the duck that was about to be eaten has flown away!

After the last meeting at the courtyard house, we lost both our wife and our army, and we almost completely lost face.

That is to say, Yu Haitang has already left, otherwise I would definitely have a good talk with Yu Haitang.

That's outrageous!

You said that if you're going to date someone, you should just keep dating and that's it.

You want to please both sides and benefit from both; there's no such thing as a free lunch.

This incident severely damaged Yu Haitang's image in He Yuzhu's mind.

Now that Qin Huairu had brought it up, He Yuzhu's face turned red with anger.

"Sister Qin, don't mention that bitch again. Just thinking about her makes me furious. Tell me, what kind of woman is she, capable of doing such immoral things? It's a good thing she didn't come into my house, or I would have been cheated on one day."

He Yuzhu said with a look of disgust.

Seeing He Yuzhu's expression, Qin Huairu was overjoyed.

Xu Damao is really good at handling things. Now that this matter has been ruined, He Yuzhu is single again and no one wants him.

My opportunity has come again.

We absolutely cannot let He Yuzhu, this money bag, slip through our fingers. He can bring us food, ask for money, and we don't have to pay any price.

Where else in the world can you find such a great traitor besides He Yuzhu?

"I'm not trying to criticize you, but those young girls are so cunning. It's a good thing you didn't go too far, otherwise you would be the one being sold out and still having to count the money for them."

Qin Huairu said with a forced smile.

"Sister Qin is the best. She can help me tidy up the house and do my laundry. Sister Qin, you know my situation isn't bad, right? Why don't you come with me? I'll take care of the baby in your belly and those two children."

He Yuzhu said solicitously.

When He Yuzhu said these words, Qin Huairu's expression underwent a subtle change.

However, he suppressed his inner disgust and did not show it very obviously.

He Yuzhu had also drunk quite a bit by this time, and didn't notice the change in Qin Huairu's expression.

Just as she was about to say something more, Qin Huairu grabbed He Yuzhu's hand.

He Yuzhu shuddered, as if he had been electrocuted.

“Zhu Zi, it’s not that I haven’t considered this. You’re so good in every way, but unfortunately, you have a mother-in-law who won’t agree to this. I don’t want to hold you back, Zhu Zi.”

Qin Huairu looked aggrieved, as if Jia Zhangshi had truly made the decision on this matter alone.

She was only forced into this situation; she didn't intend to keep He Yuzhu hanging on.

Upon hearing these words, He Yuzhu's expression changed drastically.
