Siheyuan Shangpeng

Chapter 34: A fool plots against others, and no one believes him

He Yuzhu scratched his head and said nothing, but Shang's father said, "Xiaopeng, do I know the person you are talking about? What you said makes sense, but how many people have diplomas now? Your father graduated from night school with a high school diploma. Look, there were a few people studying in my former factory, and they are all doing well!"

Shang Peng rolled his eyes at this. "Dad, look at those people who didn't study, how many of them have become high-level workers? Aren't they all stuck at level six?

You need to be able to read the blueprints to pass the senior worker exam. How can you pass the exam if you can’t read the blueprints? How can you read the blueprints if you don’t study at all? If you can’t read the blueprints and don’t study, and you only study the technology all day long, how can you pass the exam? This is a vicious circle.”

After all the output, everyone in the room was confused. Only Shang Xue was secretly happy. She understood that her second brother was really good at fooling people. There was nothing wrong with studying. However, failing the worker level test actually had little to do with whether one studied or not. The old workers in the past were just as uneducated, but they all became level 8 workers. Those who failed the test either did not have the skills or were not really suitable for the position. Before level 6, practice makes perfect, but after level 6, it depends on personal understanding.

Shang Peng saw that he had fooled the group of people. He winked at his sister and asked her not to expose him. Then he said to He Yuzhu: "Brother Zhuzi, I find that you have changed now. They always treated you as a fool before. I think whoever treats you as a fool is the real fool. You should stay like this and let others treat you as a fool. It doesn't matter if you suffer a little loss. When you really scheme against others, you will make people unable to guard against you. As the saying goes, no one can be fooled by a fool."

"Haha..." This time everyone in the room understood and laughed out loud together.

Only He Yuzhu looked at Shang Peng and said, "Hey! Good boy, Xiaopeng, you keep playing with your brother Zhu all day long. Okay, I won't say anything more to you. Don't let that old man hear the noise and come looking for you. That will be bad! I'm leaving first. I guess that old man is waiting for me at my door."

"Go! Go! Your expression...pay attention to your expression, Brother Zhuzi, haha..." Shang Peng laughed and instructed He Yuzhu to pay attention to his expression.

This time everyone in the room was laughing so hard that they were rolling on the floor. He Yuzhu couldn't help laughing too.

He stood up and walked out, saying as he walked: "Just tease your brother Zhu, what if I can't control myself later? I'm still dizzy, and I really can't bear it anymore after a while."

He Yuzhu walked out of the house and was about to go to the middle courtyard when he suddenly stopped. He leaned over the corridor between the front yard and the middle courtyard and looked towards the middle courtyard. He saw Yi Zhonghai really waiting for him at the door of his house like a husband-waiting rock.

He Yuzhu shook his head to get rid of the thought of the Husband-Waiting Rock from his mind, rubbed his face, and tried hard to pretend to be depressed. After trying for a long time, he finally controlled his expression and walked towards his home step by step. He couldn't help but blame Shang Peng in his heart for making her happy when he had nothing to do all day.

As soon as he entered the middle courtyard, Yi Zhonghai ran to He Yuzhu with his eyes shining like a dog that saw a bone, and said to He Yuzhu: "Zhuzi, what's going on? Did you do what I told you this morning?" Then he seemed to realize that he was a little anxious, and slowed down his speech and continued: "Zhuzi, your uncle is doing this for your own good. Don't let him do it. You will be penniless and your house will be occupied by others. Where can you go to seek justice? Believe in your uncle. Your uncle has seen it clearly. That merchant is not a good person. Don't worry, as long as you cut off contact with them, I will definitely take care of it for you. Your house and other things will definitely be kept."

He Yuzhu still had a bitter face and couldn't help cursing in his heart: "You deadbeat, do you really think that I am a fool just because I'm called Shazhu? My own aunt doesn't believe it, but I believe you, an old helper, and you're doing it for my own good. I think you're doing it for yourself. Just wait, I'll show you what I can do in a few days!"

Thinking this in his heart, he said to Yi Zhonghai: "Uncle, I haven't been to my aunt's house today. I talked to my master about the job today, but he wouldn't let me go, saying that my skills are not yet mature, so I need to wait for a year or two..."

"One or two years? How can that be possible? You can't stay in the job I found for you for that long. This is a good job that I spent a lot of effort to find for you. You can't listen to your master. Let's not go tomorrow. Now it's a new society. How can he control you? You are a man in Beijing and can't listen to an outsider." Yi Zhonghai said anxiously.

"But... Uncle, didn't you always say that there are no wrong parents, only unfilial children?

My master is my dear master, to whom I bow my head, just like my father.

My master said..."

"What did your master say? Why don't you tell me now? Everything is up to you. Besides, didn't your master ignore you during that time? Why did he ask you to go back again?

You went to find your master? I'm telling you, he has ignored you for such a long time and now he wants you back to help. I heard that all the restaurants are now operating jointly, and fewer people go there. He must have asked you to come back because there is no one to be their apprentice. Yes, that must be the case."

He Yuzhu looked at Yi Zhonghai in surprise, thinking to himself, "This old man is really anxious. He always speaks with clear logic, but now he is talking nonsense. Haha... I can only fool you if you are anxious. Just wait for the dishes, old man."

He Yuzhu said to Yi Zhonghai again: "Uncle, I saw my master on the street. He said that it was no good for me to fool around like this, so he asked me to go back and help him. He gave me 18 yuan a month, but every day I just had to wash and cut vegetables. To this day, I have hardly ever cooked!

He said that if I really wanted to leave, I had to finish the job this week so he could find someone else.

He Yuzhu apologized to the master a thousand times in his heart, thinking: "Master, I'm sorry. I wronged you by fooling this old chef. Besides, I really didn't cheat him that much. I won't cook until tomorrow. I'm just helping out these few days. Haha... It turns out I'm still very smart."

"What kind of person are you? He's treating you like a handyman! No, Zhuzi, we won't go there tomorrow. We can't let him exploit us!"

"Uncle, you can't say that. I have already promised my master that the men in our city are as firm as a nail. It's only until this weekend. And uncle, I still want to ask you for a favor."

"Tell me, Zhuzi, what's the matter? I will definitely help you if I can!" Yi Zhonghai happily agreed when he saw that this silly Zhu was still so easy to fool, but he didn't agree completely. He just said that he would do what he could.
