Siheyuan works as a nanny for Shazhu

Chapter 101 Looking for someone

The two of them were drinking tea and chatting in the house. Master Lei was also getting ready to start work. Before starting work, he specifically instructed his apprentices to work hard. Several apprentices agreed, and they started working enthusiastically. Jiang Feng saw some movement outside, so he called Huang Ming to go and have a look. The walls of the main house were almost finished.

The two walked towards the middle courtyard. Master Lei saw Jiang Feng coming and hurried over to greet him. Jiang Feng said, "Master Lei, let me introduce you. This is my Uncle Huang. He works in the street office. He came to see me today for something, so I brought him here to see me."

Huang Ming also greeted Master Lei. Master Lei was still an old-school man. Whenever he came, he would call everyone "Dong Jia Dong Jia" regardless of age. After hearing Jiang Feng say that he worked in the neighborhood office, he changed his tone: "Hello, Comrade Huang, my name is Lei Dongming."

Huang Ming saw Master Lei talking to him and agreed: "Master Lei, hello, I have heard of your name. I know the reputation of Sijiucheng Yangshi Lei. Sometimes the street office also recommends you for many jobs."

"Thank you for the compliment. I am just trying to make a living. I have only a few skills passed down from my ancestors. I am sorry to make you laugh."

"That's not a little bit of skill. In the past, it was your family that repaired it. I've heard that too."

"I don't deserve it, I don't deserve it, I just rely on you guys to give me a bowl of rice to eat."

The two chatted for a while, and Jiang Feng took Huang Ming to the house. Now only the wall was finished and the ground was leveled. Huang Ming went in to take a look, but didn't say anything. He didn't understand this, so it was best not to speak. He was the expert. He greeted Master Lei and went back to Jiang Feng's house to sit. Huang Ming asked, "Why don't I see any rain?"

"I went out to play with my classmates. I brought some food for lunch, but I didn't come back at noon."

After sitting for a while, it was almost three o'clock and He Yuzhu hadn't returned yet. Jiang Feng said to Huang Ming, "Why don't we go to Sister Xiaoyan's house? Brother Zhuzi hasn't returned yet and he probably won't be able to make it back in time. I'll go tell Master Lei."

Huang Ming nodded, and Jiang Feng went to the Intermediate Court to tell Master Lei that he had something to do and might not be back at night. The masters could just leave after they finished their work. Master Lei nodded.

Jiang Feng came out and called Huang Ming, closed the door, and the two rode their bikes to Li Xiaoyan's house. When they arrived at Li Xiaoyan's house, Li Xiaoyan was sitting in the room because she was in a bad mood. Wang Li was trying to comfort her. When she saw Huang Ming coming, Li Fu also stood up and welcomed them in.

After Huang Ming sat down, he said to the others, "Brother Li, I came here today because of Zhuzi and Xiaoyan. I just went to his courtyard to ask about it. We now know who the person who talked to Xiaoyan last time was. Zhuzi has already gone to find someone. Let's wait for him here."

Wang Li was angry: "Secretary Huang, this is a matter between children. What can we get out of this matter by asking people? Since they have said it, it must not be groundless."

Li Fu glared at Wang Li, but Huang Ming smiled at Li Fu and said to Wang Li, "Sister-in-law, you misunderstood. Xiaoyan can just go and identify the person. Yesterday, the man didn't dare to report his name. I also asked Zhuzi, and as soon as he said his appearance, I knew he was someone from the yard. This man is a villain. He has been at odds with Zhuzi since he was a child. The two of them often fought and quarreled. Even now, they have entered the steel rolling mill, but they still quarrel when they meet. It is normal for him to say bad things about Zhuzi behind his back. When Xiaoyan sees the man, she will know whether what we said is true or not. If this is true, why did she report someone else's name."

Huang Ming took a breath and continued, "This kind of person can't stand seeing others do well, especially Zhuzi. The two of you have been competing for more than ten years. I guess he is jealous now that Zhuzi is getting married and wants to ruin the marriage between your two families. He is not at home now. I guess he is afraid that Zhuzi will come to his house to cause trouble for him. But he has already asked where his parents live. You will know when Zhuzi comes back."

After hearing the explanation, several people were relieved. Li Xiaoyan started crying again, saying while crying: "Mom, I told you that Brother Zhuzi is not that kind of person, but you didn't believe me and worried about this and that."

Wang Li also smiled awkwardly. If they dared to bring someone to confront, there must be no problem. She gently hit her daughter twice and said, "Isn't mom worried that you will have a hard time in the future? It's okay. Mom was wrong, mom was wrong. Don't cry, there are guests here."

Li Fu also followed suit: "You, Mr. Huang is here, but you don't even go get a glass of water. You let the guests sit there and do nothing. Mr. Huang is smoking. Who is this little brother?"

"Just call him Xiaofeng. He's the head of Zhuzi's family. He's Zhuzi's cousin. He's at home today too. Xiaoyan saw him when she went there last time." Huang Ming said with a smile.

Jiang Feng stood up quickly: "Uncle, Aunt, this is my first time here today, and I heard about this. I'm here to explain to you two why Xu Damao would say bad things about Brother Zhuzi behind his back."

After that, he told Li Xiaoyan in detail about the past events in the courtyard, from the grudge between He Yuzhu and Xu Damao when they were young, to the schemes of the people in the courtyard after He Daqing left, and how they dealt with them. Finally, he said, "Speaking of it, I am the head of the family now because Zhuzi has to go to work and has to entertain people from time to time. It's just Yushui and I at home, so I am the temporary head of the family. But after Sister Xiaoyan married, I will have a much easier time."

Jiang Feng also laughed. When Li Xiaoyan heard him talking about getting married, her face also turned red. Li Fu and Wang Li also laughed. The atmosphere suddenly became better. Huang Ming also said, "Brother Li, Sister Li, don't worry. When Zhuzi comes, you can also go with someone. When we get there, Xiaoyan can ask him. Zhuzi has a bad temper, but he has been working for the past few years and has become much better. It was those people who provoked him. Xiaoyan will take good care of him in the future and ignore those people."

"That won't do. It's fine as long as Brother Zhuzi doesn't bully others actively. If someone bullies me, I don't care. Just beat him up. Brother Zhuzi and I will bear the consequences together if anything happens." Li Xiaoyan was unhappy when she heard what Huang Ming said, and she spoke out what was in her mind.

After she finished speaking, her face turned even redder, but she still held her head high. Wang Li looked at her daughter angrily and said, "You haven't even gotten married yet, and you're already protecting her. I wonder what you'll do if Zhuzi bullies you then." She tapped Li Xiaoyan's forehead with her finger.

"Don't worry, Sister Xiaoyan, if Brother Zhuzi makes trouble with you, tell me and I will deal with him. He is no match for me now, but you will have the final say in the family from now on. If he dares to disobey me, I will help you, your sister-in-law, to deal with him." Jiang Feng quickly took sides and sold out He Yuzhu first.

Several people were stunned when they heard it, but Li Xiaoyan understood it, and lowered her head shyly and laughed. Then several people reacted and burst into laughter. However, He Yuzhu's voice came from outside the door: "Swallow, Swallow." Following the voice, He Yuzhu walked in, and seeing that several people were laughing, he widened his eyes and just gasped there.

Li Xiaoyan saw He Yuzhu coming in and also stood up in a hurry. Seeing that his forehead was covered with sweat, she took out a handkerchief and wiped it for him: "Why are you in such a hurry? You are sweating all over when you are running."

He Yuzhu fainted again when he smelled the fragrance on the handkerchief. He just looked at Xiaoyan and smiled foolishly. Jiang Feng said, "Brother Zhuzi, what's going on? Have you found out everything?"

He Yuzhu came back to his senses and said to Jiang Feng, "I found out everything. Wang Kun lives in a yard behind our area. Xu Damao's parents now live near the Red Star Cinema. They are not far away."

Huang Ming also stood up after hearing this and said to Li Fu: "Brother Li, who do you think should go with us? Let's go together."

Li Fu and Wang Li looked at each other, and Li Fu said, "I'll go, you cook at home, and we'll come back to eat later, and have a few drinks with Brother Huang in the evening."

Wang Li also put her worries aside, agreed readily, and went to the kitchen to prepare the dishes. Several people walked out. He Yuzhu took Li Xiaoyan, Huang Ming took Li Fu, and Jiang Feng walked back alone with He Yuzhu. After more than 20 minutes, they arrived at the gate of a courtyard. He Yuzhu went into the courtyard and found an old lady and asked, "Hello, old lady. I want to ask, does Wang Kun from the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill live here?"

"Yes, I live over there." The aunt replied, and pointed to the east wing of the middle courtyard. He Yuzhu and Li Xiaoyan went forward and knocked on the door. A man in his thirties walked out and looked at him: "Hey, Chef He, what brings you here?"

He Yuzhu is the best cook in the factory and he cooks big pot dishes from time to time. The food in the second canteen tastes the best. Most of the workers have eaten in the second canteen. Not all of them know He Yuzhu, but many workers in the factory know He Yuzhu, including Wang Kun.

He Yuzhu could only smile and say, "Excuse me, are you Wang Kun? I came here today to talk to you about something."

"Oh, it's me. What's up? Come in and sit down. Please come in." Wang Kun said as he opened the door and invited He Yuzhu and Li Xiaoyan into the house.

The two looked at each other, Li Xiaoyan shook her head, and He Yuzhu said to Wang Kun: "Brother Wang, I won't come in. I came here today to ask you something. Just a few words. I won't come in to disturb you."

Seeing that the two had no intention of entering the house, Wang Kun also walked out and said to He Yuzhu: "Master He, go ahead."

"It's like this, this is my girlfriend. After I sent her home yesterday afternoon, someone said bad things about me in front of her. The name given was Wang Kun from the Second Fitter Workshop of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill. I would like to ask, is there anyone named Wang Kun in your workshop?"

"Fuck, that bastard is using my name to do bad things outside." Most of the workers at that time were not well educated. When Wang Kun heard someone impersonating him and doing such a wicked thing, he started to curse. Just after he cursed, he remembered that Master He's girlfriend was still there, so he smiled and said, "I'm sorry, I'm just a rough man. I'm the only one in our workshop with this name. Someone must have impersonated me. I was at home all afternoon yesterday and didn't go there. Everyone in the yard knows it."

He Yuzhu looked at Li Xiaoyan and said to Wang Kun, "Okay, Brother Wang, I'm sorry to bother you. It's just this matter. I came to ask. It's okay. I'll leave first. I still have to find someone."

"Master He, you haven't even had a sip of water. Master He, take care. If you find someone, tell me. I want to see who is so bold as to pretend to be me and do such a wicked thing."

He Yuzhu said as he walked, "Brother Wang, please stay. I'm leaving now. We'll talk about it when we find it."
