Siheyuan: Why does your brother beat you up every day, Shazhu?

"Weiguo, your work is incredible! It's great!"

Chen Wenjian was also shocked and envious:

"A driver at a food factory? Brother He, you're the top job among all the big guys! And you're still working at the food factory!"

"This... this is so tempting! If I want to buy some hard-to-find cakes and candies in the future, can I come to you..."

He didn't finish his words and smiled embarrassedly.

My deskmate Xu Damao was originally quite proud of his job as a projectionist. He thought it was pretty awesome and he could get a lot of good stuff when he went to the countryside.

But compared to He Weiguo, all he can do now is envy.

He smacked his lips and said half jokingly and half sourly:

"Zhu Zi, what you said... may sound annoying, but it's true! Brother He, your job is definitely the best in our generation!"

"If you have any long-distance work in the future, can you take me with you to open my eyes?"

The courtyard was suddenly filled with a buzz of discussion, envy, and admiration, and their eyes were all cast on He Weiguo.

No one expected that the notorious boss of the He family would quietly get such a great golden rice bowl!

That's the driver!

It’s from a food factory!

Chapter 62: Reactions of the Two Families in the Middle Courtyard

The west wing of the middle courtyard, Jia's house.

The noise of clinking glasses and laughing in the yard formed a sharp contrast with the dull atmosphere in the house.

The rich aroma of the food was pervasive, making the whole family's mouths water.

Jia Zhang sat cross-legged on the kang, her old face stretched longer than a donkey's, her triangular eyes gleaming with resentment, and she kept cursing under her breath:

"God damn He Weiguo! What a black-hearted and rotten-lung bastard!"

"You invited the whole courtyard to dinner, but left out our Jia family! We're neighbors, just separated by a wall!"

"Call those ungrateful bastards instead of us! They are such a piece of shit! They deserve a horrible death!"

Under normal circumstances, she would have jumped up and down in the yard and cursed loudly.

But now, she could only vent her feelings in a low voice in this cramped room.

His face was still swollen from being slapped by He Weiguo, and he could still vividly remember the tragic scene of Sha Zhu being hung on the door beam of his house and beaten until he screamed in pain.

So no matter how unhappy she was, she could only grumble in a low voice.

Banggeng'er lay on the windowsill, his nose twitching as he greedily sniffed the aroma of meat and fish wafting through the air. His drool flowed from the corners of his mouth, wetting his lapel.

He turned his head and cried:

"Mom! I'm hungry! I want meat! I want fish!"

Qin Huairu looked at her son's greedy look, feeling sour and helpless, and could only coax him softly:

"Good boy, bear with it, okay? It will pass if you bear with it..."

She knew that the return of the eldest son of the He family was like erecting a cold iron gate between the He family and the Jia family.

It’s not realistic to expect to take advantage of others like you!

Going out for a free meal? Don't even think about it!

She had no doubt that as long as they dared to step out of the door to ask for it, He Weiguo would definitely beat them back without mercy!

Yes, it’s a fight back, no exaggeration at all.

Unexpectedly, Banggeng did not throw a tantrum or cry like usual this time.

This kid usually learned the skills of a tough guy from Jia Zhang, but now he looks wilted.

He is afraid too!

That vicious man who even dared to hang up and beat Sha Zhu, now even Yu Shui dared to beat him. If I go out and get into trouble, I will definitely be beaten up!

There is no hope for Jia Dongxu, the mama's boy.

He huddled in the corner, his face pale, listening to the commotion outside, not daring to say a word.

Before, Jia Zhang thought that if He Weiguo spent money lavishly, he would become a pauper in a few days.

By then, without a job, this guy will become a joke!

But—the sudden burst of exclamations and discussions in the yard were like a basin of cold water poured over her head.

He Weiguo turned out to be a driver at the food factory!

No matter how ignorant she was, she knew the weight of the word "driver", especially the driver of a food factory!

How much profit can be made from that?

How many delicious foods should I make?

Jia Zhang's cloudy eyes instantly flashed with greed. She slapped her thigh and yelled at Jia Dongxu:

"Dongxu! Did you hear that?"

"Don't learn that crappy locksmithing job from Yi Zhonghai! It's dirty, tiring, and unprofitable!"

"Go learn how to drive from the factory driver! Let's be drivers too!"

Jia Dongxu looked at his mother as if she were a madman:

"Mom! Are you getting old and confused? Learning to drive? Is that something anyone can learn?"

"That's a technical job! It requires connections! It requires a lot of experience! I... I can't even get promoted as a fitter, so how can I learn to drive?"

"Isn't this just wishful thinking?"

He was speechless. His mother's brain was really eaten out by greed!

Jia Zhang was even more angry when her son contradicted her, and her saliva flew everywhere:

"You useless loser! How do you know it won't work if you don't try?"

"No way? Go and beg! Go and kowtow!"

"Look at He Weiguo, he can do it, why can't you?"

Jia Dongxu was completely speechless: "..."

Qin Huairu watched the farce of the mother and son coldly, her heart chilled.

Her disappointment with Jia Dongxu had already piled up like a mountain.

This mama's boy can't stand up for himself, nor can he protect his wife and children. He only listens to his ignorant and greedy mother.

Learning to drive? That's just a pipe dream!

What else could Jia Zhang think of besides taking advantage and throwing a tantrum?

But the shock in her heart was no less than that of Jia Zhang.

That big brother Shazhu... is really awesome!

After just a few days back, I had tidied up the house and even got a great job!

Food factory driver!

Qin Huairu couldn't help but recall her dreams as a young girl before she married into the city. She imagined her future husband to be someone like He Weiguo:

Tall, spirited, capable, and responsible...but unfortunately, she married into the Jia family, which is a hell pit.

"Hey!"

Qin Huairu sighed deeply.

When people come to Luoyang, flowers are in full bloom, but it is not spring when I arrive.

Maybe this is fate!

……

Yi Zhonghai's family.

The atmosphere in the house was equally depressing, forming a sharp contrast with the noise in the yard.

Yi Zhonghai paced around the room anxiously with his hands behind his back, his face so gloomy that water seemed to drip out of it.

Does he need this meal?

joke!

He is an eighth-level fitter in a steel rolling mill, earning 99 yuan a month. The old couple has no children to support them and has plenty of savings. Why would they care about a meal?

What he cares about is face!

It's authority!

All the young people in the courtyard were toasting each other in the yard, but no one called him, a dignified old man, "grand master"!

This was like a loud slap in the face!

How will he get along in the hospital in the future?

How can I still preside over the work?

How can you still act like a big shot?

He Weiguo is openly slapping him in the face and stepping on his prestige!

The aunt looked at her husband's anxious expression, sighed, and cautiously advised:

"Old Yi...don't take it too seriously. It's just a meal, and we don't need it..."

"The child didn't cry, maybe... maybe he was too busy to remember!"

"You know shit!" Yi Zhonghai stopped abruptly and interrupted her harshly, his eyes bloodshot:

"Forgot? You invited most of them, but only forgot about me, a senior official?"

"Did you forget about it because you were so busy? This is clearly a show of force! A slap in my face!"
