Siheyuan: The happy life of a little chef

The next day at noon, Yi Zhonghai led a sturdy woman to the second cafeteria. When Sha Zhu saw the newcomer, he looked disgusted and said, "Uncle, you are too unreliable. Who are you introducing?"

Yi Zhonghai explained: "Zhu Zi, what happened to Xiao Zhou? He's fine. His father is a level 5 fitter in the fourth workshop, and she is also a level 2 fitter. If you get married, you will both be working people."

Zhou Xiaohua looked at Shazhu in front of her and lowered her head shyly. There was nothing she could do. Her family was pressuring her to get married and she was not good-looking. If she didn't get married she would become an old maid.

Zhou Xiaohua's shyness made Sha Zhu shudder. He couldn't imagine whether he could survive if he married Zhou Xiaohua. With her burly body, he would probably not be able to defeat her.

Sha Zhu said to Yi Zhonghai angrily: "Uncle, I don't want to look like Zhu Bajie's second aunt. You can introduce her to whoever you want. When I marry a wife, I don't say she should be as good as Sister Qin, but she can't be worse than Li Jianjun and Xu Damao's wives. I can't afford to lose face." After saying that, he ran away without looking back.

When Zhou Xiaohua heard what Sha Zhu said, she was so angry that she burst into tears: "Sha Zhu, you're going too far. Just wait for me." After saying that, she ran away.

Yi Zhonghai looked at the two people who ran away and smiled. This was the result he wanted.

Ten minutes later, three burly men came to the second cafeteria. When they saw Sha Zhu, they started beating him up without saying a word.

At first Sha Zhu fought back, but the gap was too big. The three men pinned Sha Zhu down and beat him. Sha Zhu shouted, "You are so lawless! You dare to cause trouble in the cafeteria? I will report you to the security department and have you all arrested."

The commotion attracted the canteen director, who hurried over to break up the fight: "What's going on, guys? Don't fight. Let's talk it out."

The canteen director couldn't stop them alone, so Yi Zhonghai also helped. When the three of them saw that the fight was almost over, they started talking: "Today our sister went on a blind date with Sha Zhu. If he doesn't like her, then he doesn't like her. He actually said that my sister is Zhu Bajie's second aunt. He is insulting women. It's too much, so the three of us are here to teach him a lesson."

The canteen director turned around and scolded Sha Zhu when he heard this: "Sha Zhu, if you can't match me, then you can't match me. Why are you insulting me?"

Several older women in the crowd couldn't stand it any longer: "Shazhu, how dare you insult women? Great men have said that women hold up half the sky."

Sha Zhu said stubbornly: "How did I insult her? I was telling the truth. What? Can't people say she's ugly?"

After hearing this, the three Zhou brothers wanted to beat him up again, but they were stopped by someone.

The older sisters nearby did not stop him: "Sisters, he insulted women and refused to repent, tear him apart."

My goodness, several big sisters came together, some pulled their hair, some pulled their ears. Sha Zhu didn't dare to hit them. Sha Zhu knew them. They were from the Women's Federation and he was not to be trifled with. Once, a man with a flowery mouth provoked them, and as a result, he was stripped naked and sent to the security department. Now he is still sweeping toilets.

The canteen director didn't dare to provoke them, so he could only persuade them from the side: "Ladies, stop fighting, I will definitely deal with Sha Zhu, don't worry, otherwise the security department will be here soon."

The guys let go of Sha Zhu when they were almost done beating him. At this point, Sha Zhu's hair was like weeds, his ears were red, and the buttons on his clothes were all torn off.

The canteen director was relieved to see them let go of Sha Zhu. If there was any accountability from above, he would also bear the brunt of the consequences: "Sha Zhu, I order you to apologize to Comrade Zhou Xiaohua and the sisters from the Women's Federation. Otherwise, you will go and sweep the toilets. Come back when you have apologized."

Sha Zhu was also scared now. These big sisters really hit him hard. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'm a bad mouth. I shouldn't have insulted Comrade Zhou Xiaohua. I shouldn't have insulted women. It's my fault. I sincerely apologize and hope you can forgive me."

The three Zhou brothers looked at Sha Zhu and said, "Hmph, let me tell you, Sha Zhu, if you are not convinced, come find us. We are all fitters. If you dare to say something bad about my sister again, we will beat you to death." After that, they left.

The older sisters looked at Sha Zhu and said nothing, then turned and left.

Sha Zhu slumped on the ground: "If you have the guts, fight me one on one. What's the point of three of them beating me alone?" Sha Zhu was just talking. He really didn't dare. He felt that any one of the three men could fight him.

Yi Zhonghai helped Sha Zhu up: "Zhu Zi, be careful with your words next time. This is a lesson for you."

Sha Zhu glanced at Yi Zhonghai with resentment: "It's all because of you that you introduced this person."

Yi Zhonghai frowned after hearing this: "Zhu Zi, if you say that, I will not take care of you anymore. Go find a partner yourself."

When Sha Zhu heard that Yi Zhonghai was angry, he quickly apologized: "No, uncle, I was wrong. You were kind enough to introduce me to someone, and I was just angry and didn't control my words. Please don't take it to heart."

Yi Zhonghai then pretended to forgive Sha Zhu: "It's good that you know. It's hard to find a job in the factory under the current situation. Wait for a while. When this matter has calmed down, I will find you another one. Tell me your requirements."

Sha Zhu thought for a moment and said, "Even if she doesn't have to be as pretty as Sister Qin, she should at least be no less beautiful than Xu Damao's wife. She should also be an intellectual, gentle and able to do housework."

Yi Zhonghai felt annoyed. Are you looking for a partner? Are you making a wish? How can such a good girl be your turn? But he still said, "Zhu Zi, your requirements are a bit high. I can only look for it slowly."

Sha Zhu said indifferently: "It doesn't matter if you go slowly, the most important thing is to meet my requirements."

Yi Zhonghai helped Sha Zhu to the infirmary. From that moment on, Sha Zhu became a joke in the factory, and no one dared to introduce Sha Zhu to a girl.

When Sha Zhu was being beaten, Xu Damao came to the subdistrict office and found Director Wang: "Director Wang, I want to report Jia Zhang for promoting feudal superstition and abusing her daughter-in-law Qin Huairu."

Director Wang looked at Xu Damao seriously. Xu Damao still had gauze on his face. "Xu Damao, tell me what happened?"

Xu Damao told Jia Zhang what she did at his wedding banquet yesterday. This matter was not easy to handle. After all, it was an old widow who was making trouble. Beating Qin Huairu was also her own family business. But if they were serious about it, they could also pull Jia Zhang over and teach her a lesson. As for sending her to the countryside, it was impossible. Her son was gone, and her relatives in the countryside would not have room for her. Wouldn't that be just letting her die?

Xu Damao saw what Director Wang was thinking. He also knew the relationship between Li Jianjun and Director Wang: "Director Wang, Jianjun has said that Jia Zhang needs to be taught a lesson, otherwise she will become lawless."

Director Wang was stunned for a moment: "Did Li Jianjun say that?" Xu Damao could ignore it, but she had to think about what Li Jianjun said.

Xu Damao said seriously: "It was Jianjun who said that. He told me yesterday that Jia Zhang is now lawless in the courtyard and calls people old Jia Dongxu all the time. Doesn't this affect the reputation of the courtyard?" These words were indeed said by Li Jianjun.

Director Wang felt that Li Jianjun was right. This was not just a matter within the courtyard. If it got out, the street office would also be criticized. It seemed that Jia Zhang needed a good lesson.

"Okay, go to work. I'll go to the yard to find Jia Zhang this afternoon and give her a good scolding. I'll have her go to the street office for a week of ideological education."

Xu Damao was very happy to hear that. He finally dealt with the old woman. "Okay, thank you for your hard work, Director Wang. I will go back to work first. Here is the wedding candy. Please try it."

Xu Damao took out a handful of wedding candy and gave it to Director Wang, then went to work.
