The days of being a buyer in Siheyuan

Especially since Liu Lin lived in the Central Courtyard, Yi Zhonghai would occasionally look for Qin Huairu at night during this period. She saw all of this but just didn't say anything.

Seeing the puzzled expressions of several people, Liu Lin secretly told them what he had seen during this period.

"Really? I don't think an old man would be that kind of person."

The person who said this was Yu Li. She had a pretty good impression of Yi Zhonghai. Apart from being a little biased towards the Jia family, he treated everyone else fairly.

"You know, you can only judge a person by his appearance but not his heart. This shows that Yi Zhonghai is too good at disguising himself."

Liu Minghui shook his head and sighed. After all, he had long known what kind of person Yi Zhonghai was, but he didn't expect that he would show signs of hooking up with Qin Huairu so early.

"That's right. Who knows what Yi Zhonghai is planning now? We still have to be careful and don't let him target us."

He Yuzhu also spoke with a serious expression. He now had a very bad impression of Yi Zhonghai and others. When they met, they just nodded to each other and there was no communication at all.

After careful consideration, Liu Minghui looked at He Yuzhu and said, "Zhuzi, do you know why your father left?"

He Yuzhu was a little confused, but he still recalled the time a few years ago. After He Daqing left, he also took He Yushui to look for him, but they couldn't even get in, so they had to come back in shame.

But Liu Minghui's question this time made He Yuzhu feel that there might be a different explanation.

"He left with a widow, what else could it be?"

Although He Yuzhu was confused, he still told others what he knew. Let’s put it this way, this incident was well-known in this area at the time, and everyone knew about it.

Liu Minghui shook his head after hearing this. He didn't think it would be like this. According to normal people's thinking, even if He Daqing really liked the White Widow, he would marry her and it was impossible for him to abandon his two children and run away.

"Zhu Zi, don't you think there's something fishy going on here?"

After Liu Minghui finished speaking, the three of them looked at him, especially Liu Lin. She was still very concerned about her father-in-law, and He Yuzhu had not explained it to her in detail before.

"I really don't know about this. You know, Yu Shui was still very young at that time. I took care of her every day and went to learn cooking. I forgot about it after a long time."

He Yuzhu explained distressedly.

"I think he should be telegraphed. He is your father after all."

Liu Lin said with understanding.

"I do know a little bit."

Suddenly, Liu Minghui's words attracted the attention of several people. The three of them looked at him, wondering why he said that.

Liu Minghui said calmly: "I heard that he might have been forced away by Yi Zhonghai."

When these words were spoken, several people were shocked, and He Yuzhu hurriedly asked questions.

"How is it possible? Is there a grudge between our family and Yi Zhonghai?"

He Yuzhu was a little bit unbelieving. You know, although Yi Zhonghai had fallen out with him now, it was thanks to Yi Zhonghai's care that Yu Shui was able to grow up during the first few years after He Daqing left.

"How is it impossible?"

Liu Minghui asked back with a smile on his face. He had already learned the general situation from Xu Damao, so he couldn't be wrong.

"Didn't it happen to be the time to elect a steward? Your father happened to be competing with Yi Zhonghai in the Intermediate Court."

He Yuzhu thought about it carefully and realized that it was indeed the case. He said in disbelief, "Is it because of this?"

In response to He Yuzhu's question, Liu Minghui nodded, indicating that this was what he thought.

"Then let's send a telegram to Dad, no matter what, to ask how he's been doing lately and about our marriage. His grandson has been born, so he needs to know about it, too."

Liu Lin said on the side that the truth was gradually becoming clear. Although He Yuzhu still didn't quite believe it, he understood that he had to ask He Daqing about this matter to get the truth.

After the two men left, the two people at home continued to gossip for a while, and then they cleaned up and rested.

The next day, He Yuzhu went to the post office early in the morning and sent a telegram to He Daqing. There was not much in it, mainly telling him that his grandson was born and to come back to visit when he had time.

Everyone in the steel mill is very happy today. Many people in the steel mill know that hundreds of cattle and sheep were brought back yesterday. Everyone also knows that these will be distributed by the end of this year. Everyone is very happy, especially the newcomers who just joined the factory this year. Everyone came here for the excellent conditions of the steel mill from the beginning, but they didn't expect that it really lives up to its reputation.

In the back kitchen, the chefs from the steel rolling mill gathered here. The canteen director assigned them work, mainly to help He Yuzhu. Only He Yuzhu knew how to slaughter cattle and sheep, and everyone was waiting to get some offal and the like to go back and cook the soup.

"Master He, this knife has been sharpened. Take a look and see if it works."

Cui Dake was very proactive and brought a knife to He Yuzhu, which he had been sharpening for a long time.

"Okay, come and help hold it down."

After He Yuzhu took it, he said that it was up to him to perform next and the others could only watch from the side.

It was handled soon. Several canteen managers took their things back home, and the canteen director arranged for people to collect the dissected meat and store it in the cold storage.

"Oh, you guys are too fast. I wanted to help."

At this time Qin Huairu suddenly appeared. There were only He Yuzhu and a few others here. The canteen director had already left. Qin Huairu rushed here because she knew the news.

"Qin Huairu, why are you here when you're not working in the workshop?"

Liu Lan has always had a bad impression of Qin Huairu, so she directly criticized her with words.

"You don't come here to ask for anything, do you?"

Qin Huairu was so thick-skinned that of course she wouldn't be broken by a few words. Instead, she explained with a smile.

"I was just passing by here, and I came to see you because I saw you. To be honest, I really want to work in the kitchen. I'm not very good at the work in the workshop."

Qin Huairu's eyes never left He Yuzhu, especially the two large plates of food beside him.

However, no one responded to this conversation. Liu Lan felt very disdainful of Qin Huairu's words.

"If you want to transfer, you still have to go to the leader. What's the point of telling us?"

Qin Huairu's expression remained unchanged and she still looked smiling, but she cursed Liu Lan in her heart. She didn't know why Liu Lan was so hostile to her, but He Yuzhu and the others ignored her, so she had no choice but to leave. After all, she was still a workshop worker and she only came out under the pretext of going to the toilet, so she couldn't stay too long.

In the purchasing department, Liu Minghui took a purchase order and handed it to Li Yue. This was the details of the outbound purchases. He gave it to Li Yue for reconciliation. When he came here today, Liu Minghui had already distributed the subsidy from the steel rolling mill. The steel rolling mill gave the subsidy based on a half-month business trip. In the end, there was still a lot left, which was shared equally by everyone.
