Siheyuan: I am different He Yuzhu

On the third day after He Yuzhu moved back to the courtyard, after the Jia family had finished dinner, Qin Huairu had just washed the pots and bowls and returned to the house and said to Jia Xudong: "Xudong, let's go to Master's house later and ask Master to help us go to He Yuzhu's house together."

Although Jia Xudong was somewhat reluctant in his heart, he was a little embarrassed to ask He Yuzhu for help, but he knew that the method Qin Huairu said was the only way to make his family live well, so he said with a twisted face: "It's a bit early now, maybe Master's family hasn't eaten yet, let's go later. But Huairu, I feel that He Yuzhu may not necessarily help our family, so don't hold too much hope. After all, I've never heard of He Yuzhu helping anyone find a job before."

"Just try it, and if it doesn't work, think of other ways."

At this time, Jia Zhang said, "No one asked him for help. We are all neighbors in the same courtyard. As the saying goes, a neighbor is worse than a distant one. Our family is having a hard time right now. For a cadre like He Yuzhu, all he needs is a nod or a word from him to make our family live a completely good life. If he is unwilling to help our family, it would be too heartless."

"Xudong, Mom is right. We are not going to ask He Yuzhu to do anything illegal. We just want him to help arrange for me to work in your factory cafeteria. As a deputy factory director, he shouldn't be unable to arrange for a cafeteria clerk, right?"

After listening to his mother Jia Zhang and his wife Qin Huairu's words, Jia Xudong's face, which was already somewhat sad, became even more helpless. He shook his head slightly, sighed heavily, and then wilted like an eggplant hit by frost, without saying another word.

As the saying goes, no one knows a child better than his mother! Jia Zhang took one look at her son's listless and uninterested look and immediately understood. She knew very well that the reason why Jia Xudong was so depressed was that he felt it was too embarrassing to ask for help from He Yuzhu, who had a bad relationship with her family.

So, Jia Zhang hurried forward, took Jia Xudong's hand, and gently persuaded him: "Xudong, mother knows what you are thinking. You must feel that it is a bit embarrassing to ask He Yuzhu for help, but our family is desperate now! If there is any other way, mother will definitely not ask you to beg He Yuzhu!"

Time passed by, and the sky gradually darkened. Under Qin Huairu's constant urging, Jia Xudong reluctantly moved his feet and took Qin Huairu to Yi Zhonghai's house.

When Yi Zhonghai heard the knock on the door, he quickly got up and opened the door, welcoming Jia Xudong and his wife into the house warmly. However, when his eyes fell on Jia Xudong, he couldn't help but feel nervous. Jia Xudong lowered his head, his face was full of clouds, as if covered by a thick layer of haze.

Yi Zhonghai was puzzled when he saw this, and asked hurriedly with concern: "Xudong, what happened to you? When you came back from get off work in the evening, you were fine, weren't you? How come you become like this in just a short meal?"

Qin Huairu gently touched Jia Xudong beside her with her arm. Jia Xudong frowned slightly, took a deep breath, and then slowly told Yi Zhonghai the purpose of their visit.

"Master, you are not unaware of our family's situation. Although the past three years were difficult, thanks to the help of you and your wife, our family has finally survived, but the debts we owe are like a heavy mountain that makes us breathless! Now, let alone looking forward to a good life, even paying off these debts seems to be a long way off. And you see, our son Banggeng is growing up day by day, and his appetite has increased greatly. In the future, the expenses will only increase..." At this point, Jia Xudong couldn't help but sighed.

Then, he glanced at Qin Huairu beside him and continued, "In order to avoid causing trouble to you and Master's wife in the future, Huairu asked someone to inquire around. As a result, she got a message that if her household registration can be transferred to a city household registration, then our two children can also be transferred to city household registration! In this way, the children's future prospects may be broader."

"So the two of us have come to visit you today specifically, just to ask you, Master, for a favor, to talk to He Yuzhu and see if we can find a job for his wife Huairu. After all, he is the deputy director of our factory. If he is willing to help, this might really work!" After saying this, Jia Xudong looked at Yi Zhonghai expectantly, waiting for his response.

After listening to Jia Xudong's words, Yi Zhonghai hesitated for a moment and said, "Xudong, what kind of job do you plan to ask He Yuzhu to help Huairu find? Do you have any plans?"

"Huai Ru has only attended elementary school for a few years, so there is no problem for her. She definitely cannot do a job related to technology. Huai Ru and I have discussed this, and would like to ask He Yuzhu to help see if she can be arranged to be a handyman in our factory's canteen. After all, a handyman only needs to wash and pick vegetables, and does not require any cultural knowledge." Jia Xudong replied quickly.

Yi Zhonghai analyzed: "The canteen handyman you mentioned is indeed more suitable for Huairu, and He Yuzhu has been working in the canteen since the beginning. If he wants to arrange a handyman for the canteen, it should be easy. The only question now is whether he is willing to help?"

"We are worried that if we go directly to He Yuzhu, he will not be willing to help, so we specially come to ask you for help. After all, it was you who took He Yuzhu to work in our factory cafeteria. He can't just not give you this face, right?" Jia Xudong flattered Yi Zhonghai a little.

After hearing what Jia Xudong said, Yi Zhonghai smiled complacently, but said modestly: "I just brought He Yuzhu into our factory. He was able to enter our factory entirely because of his own ability. However, since you have come to ask me to be your master, I will risk my old face to help you."

Hearing Yi Zhonghai's agreement, Jia Xudong and Qin Huairu were immediately delighted. They felt that as long as Yi Zhonghai agreed to help, at least half of the matter would be done. So Jia Xudong smiled and said, "Thank you, Master."

Yi Zhonghai nodded slightly, then stood up and walked towards He Yuzhu's house.
