Love in the Courtyard: Starting with Engineers

Back home, Qin Huairu leaned on Sha Zhu's shoulder and cried softly.

Sha Zhu looked at Qin Huairu in his arms, and then thought of the mocking expressions on Xu Damao and his wife's faces.

I wish I could kill Xu Damao right now.

Qin Huairu recovered in a short while and wiped away her tears.

They and Sha Zhu were preparing to cause trouble for Xu Damao and Qin Jingru.

Just as Xu Damao was excitedly telling Qin Jingru about the miserable state of Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu today,

The door was banged on repeatedly.

The two exchanged a glance and immediately realized that the newcomers must be Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu.

Qin Jingru went to the kitchen and got a cleaver, while Xu Damao picked up a stool.

Xu Damao opened the door and saw Sha Zhu raising his foot to kick it.

"You dare, Sha Zhu! If you dare kick me, Da Mao and I will fight you to the death today!" Qin Jingru said, pointing a kitchen knife at Sha Zhu from behind Xu Da Mao.

When Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu saw that Xu Damao was holding a stool and Qin Jingru was holding a kitchen knife, they suddenly stopped and dared not make a move.

However, Qin Huairu still pointed at Qin Jingru and angrily rebuked her: "Qin Jingru! How can you be so shameless! You actually brought up my affairs back to tell others."

"Now you see, my parents have cut ties with me, are you happy now!"

Qin Jingru said disdainfully, "Of course I'm happy! I wish Qin Dashan would beat you to death!"

"Qin Jingru, I, Qin Huairu, have no grudge against you, why did you do this?"

"Hmph! No grudge or enmity between us?"

"Qin Huairu, do you really think Da Mao and I are fools?"

"You dare say that what happened last night wasn't done by you and Sha Zhu?"

"Just when I thought I had no temper, I said, pointing a knife at Qin Huairu."

Seeing Qin Huairu speechless after being rebuked, Sha Zhu, standing to the side, stubbornly said:

"What evidence do you have?! Don't make baseless accusations!"

"Do you really think I'm stupid? Everyone knows what my Da Mao is like when he's drunk. Tell me, how did he get to the Intermediate People's Court when he couldn't even get up?"

"Why did you strip naked?"

"And what evidence do I have to talk about? I'm not a police officer."

"And let me tell you, if either of you dares to touch us, Sha Zhu or Qin Huairu, I'll call the police immediately!"

Xu Damao only then realized how fierce Qin Jingru was.

After saying that, Qin Jingru slammed the door shut.

The two people outside left, looking disheveled and humiliated.

Inside the house, Xu Damao held Qin Jingru and said, "Jingru, I never expected you to be so amazing!"

"Hmph! Otherwise, we'd definitely get beaten up by Sha Zhu today."

When Li Yu saw Qin Dashan come to the courtyard today, he guessed that it must have been the work of Xu Damao and Qin Jingru.

He hadn't expected these two to be so decisive, retaliating the very next day after being dealt with the day before.

All day long, Li Yu spent his time drawing at home and also visiting Li Jianshe's family to wish them a Happy New Year.

When Li Jianshe and his wife heard the news that Li Yu and Bai Ling were getting married after the New Year, they were overjoyed and said they would give Li Yu a big red envelope.

Moreover, Li Jianshe patted Li Yu on the shoulder and said, "Your wedding will be handled by Uncle Li and your Aunt Zhang."

Li Yu couldn't refuse the kindness of Li Jianshe and his wife, so he nodded in agreement.

Soon it was the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, and early in the morning, everyone in the courtyard rushed to the steel rolling mill.

The workers who had just arrived at the steel rolling mill noticed that there seemed to be a job posting on the bulletin board.

"Oh my god! The research workshop needs to hire 500 people!"

Seeing that the bulletin board was packed with people, Liu Haizhong squeezed in as well.

When he saw that the job opening was for the research workshop, his mind immediately started working.

Li Yu had just returned home in the afternoon when he saw two dishes and a bowl of soup on the table.

Immediately afterwards, Bai Ling came out carrying a bowl of soup.

Li Yu quickly took the soup from Bai Ling's hand and then hugged her tightly.

He kissed her fiercely.

A few minutes later, Bai Ling, who was almost out of breath, pushed Li Yu away.

Bai Ling blushed, rolled her eyes at Li Yu, and said, "Who told you to kiss me!"

Li Yu cupped Bai Ling's face, looked into her eyes, and said:

"You can't even kiss me after not seeing me for a few days?!"

As he spoke, Li Yu kissed Bai Ling again.

This made Bai Ling blush deeply.

"Let's eat quickly, the food is getting cold," Bai Ling said.

Li Yu and Bai Ling finished their meal.

Li Yu then talked to Bai Ling about their marriage.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

When Li Yu opened the door, he saw Liu Haizhong holding two bottles of wine.

After entering, Liu Haizhong placed the wine on the table.

Li Yu asked, "What's going on, Second Uncle?"

Liu Haizhong smiled and said to Li Yu, "Isn't this a job opening at the steel rolling mill? Both of my sons have graduated from junior high school."

"Look..."

Li Yu glanced at the two bottles of Fenjiu liquor on the table.

"You could have just had your son apply for the steel rolling mill job, why are you coming to me?"

"This is a recruitment drive for the research workshop, could you perhaps give me two openings?"

Upon hearing this, Li Yu immediately laughed: "I don't have that authority either. The matter of recruiting people is handled by Deputy Factory Director Li."

Upon hearing this, Liu Haizhong became anxious: "As the workshop director, you must have one or two openings, right? How about you give me one first?"

"It's not that great, why should I give it to you?" Li Yu shook his head and said.

Liu Haizhong was a little unhappy when he heard this. He felt that he had already given Li Yu face by coming to see him today.

Although Li Yu is the workshop director at the steel rolling mill, he should also listen to the elder in charge at the courtyard house.

"Li Yu! You can't be so selfish! As the person in charge, I order you to provide one spot."

"Liu Haizhong, who do you think you are? Take your things and get out of here! Don't let me slap you!"

As he spoke, Li Yu tossed the two bottles of wine on the table into Liu Haizhong's arms.

Immediately afterwards, Li Yu pushed Liu Haizhong out and then closed the door.

"The people in this courtyard are really weird! They want to exchange two bottles of wine for two spots," Bai Ling said.

Li Yu said to Bai Ling, "This is nothing, the bizarre stuff is yet to come."

"This is definitely not over yet. Believe me, there'll be more excitement tonight."

Bai Ling curled her lip. "Who cares? If they dare to cause trouble, arrest them all and lock them up."

As soon as Liu Haizhong got home, his two children surrounded him and asked, "How did it go? Did Li Yu agree?"

"Slap!" "Slap!" Liu Haizhong raised his hand and slapped each of his two sons.

"You good-for-nothing! If you were as capable as your older brother, would I have had to be humiliated by Li Yu?"

Liu Haizhong said angrily.

Seeing Liu Haizhong's face full of anger, the second aunt didn't dare to try to persuade him.

After beating his two sons, Liu Haizhong was still not satisfied. He planned to go to Yan Bugui to discuss how to get the job quota out of Li Yu.
