Siheyuan: The Counterattack of Passerby

Although Sha Zhu has a bad temper, he has a simple heart, and he is also very honest and kind. He acts impulsively and doesn't like to use his brain, so he is an easy target to fool. If this incident hadn't happened this time and Lin Geng hadn't revealed his thoughts, Sha Zhu would definitely still respect him as before.

It was all Lin Geng’s fault for completely revealing his thoughts and telling Sha Zhu, which caused Sha Zhu to become alienated from him, see his true face, and completely break up with him.

However, even though Sha Zhu has fallen out with him now, Yi Zhonghai still believes that with his abilities, plus the help of the deaf old lady in the backyard, as long as he finds a chance to have a good talk with Sha Zhu, then with his eloquent tongue, there is a great possibility that he can bring Sha Zhu back to his side.

The key is that Sha Zhu used to covet Qin Huairu's body. Qin Huairu often only needed to smile at him, and Sha Zhu would be bewitched and forget about anything else. Even though Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu have fallen out now, he understands men's minds very well. Once they have liked a woman, it will leave a deep mark in their hearts.

Once given the opportunity, the man will easily be reminded of his old memories, and if he is not careful he will fall into them all over again, and his old feelings for the woman will rekindle.

This is his trump card to control Sha Zhu. As long as he returns to capture Qin Huairu, and lets Qin Huairu take action and use some tricks on Sha Zhu, he believes that Qin Huairu can easily control Sha Zhu again and make Sha Zhu rekindle his old feelings for her. In the future, he can let Sha Zhu continue to help Qin Huairu without asking for anything in return, and then his pressure will be reduced a lot.

As for whether Qin Huairu would let Sha Zhu take advantage of her, Yi Zhonghai really didn't care. As long as Qin Huairu could control Sha Zhu again and let Sha Zhu help her, he wouldn't care even if Sha Zhu took advantage of Qin Huairu.

Anyway, Qin Huairu is not a virgin anymore. She has already given birth to three children with Jia Dongxu. As long as she is willing to live with him and provide for him in his old age, he doesn't mind if other men take advantage of her occasionally. He is too old anyway. Even if Qin Huairu is willing to live with him in the future, he may not be able to satisfy her.

Of course, the premise is that Qin Huairu cannot escape from his control. As long as she can be obedient, control Sha Zhu, and let Sha Zhu continue to help her foolishly, then Yi Zhonghai doesn't care much about letting Sha Zhu take advantage of Qin Huairu occasionally.

Thinking of this, Yi Zhonghai's mind started to become active again. He sat back in his chair, rubbed his chin, and began to think carefully with twinkling eyes.

As he was thinking, Yi Zhonghai's stomach made a rumbling sound and he suddenly felt hungry. Yi Zhonghai then realized that he had not eaten a single bite from this morning and it was almost noon already, so it would be strange if he was not hungry.

If it were in the past, his wife would have prepared the meal and brought it to him long ago, so he wanted to call his wife and ask her if the meal was ready. But just as he opened his mouth to call his wife, he was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered that Li Xiangyun had divorced him, and even if she cooked, she would not be able to feed him.

So Yi Zhonghai sighed, stood up and walked out the door, turned his head to look next door, but he didn't see Li Xiangyun cooking. When he looked up, he saw Li Xiangyun walking out of Lin Geng's kitchen and carrying two plates of food into Lin Geng's house.

It turned out that Li Xiangyun had just separated from him today, and had not yet built her own small kitchen, so she was not yet able to cook. Obviously, Lin Geng invited her to go to the Lin family for dinner temporarily.

This made Yi Zhonghai furious again, and he wished he could tear Lin Geng to pieces. Originally, they were a good couple, but it was all because of that bad guy Lin Geng that they became enemies and his wife divorced him. Now he couldn't even have a meal.

At this time, Lin Geng walked out of the house and saw Yi Zhonghai, who was gritting his teeth and looking at his family from the opposite side. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, revealing a mocking smile to him, then raised his eyebrows at Yi Zhonghai provocatively and said loudly: "Thank you, Aunt Li! Fortunately, you are here, otherwise, I don’t know how to eat lunch today!"

Li Xiangyun came out wiping her hands on her apron, saying as she walked: "Xiao Lin, what are you talking about? If you hadn't asked me to come to your house for dinner temporarily, I wouldn't know what to do these days. It's my duty to help you cook!"

As she spoke, Li Xiangyun also saw Yi Zhonghai standing at the door of her house opposite. Seeing Yi Zhonghai's face was ashen and his eyes were red with anger, she also pulled the corners of her mouth to reveal a disdainful sneer, turned around and went to the kitchen to bring out a basket of steaming buns made of two-grain flour and walked into Lin Geng's house.

Li Xiangyun called Lin Geng from inside the house to eat. Lin Geng looked at Yi Zhonghai with a wicked smile and agreed. He then raised his eyebrows at Yi Zhonghai provocatively, then laughed three times and turned around to go into the house to eat.

Yi Zhonghai was so angry that he wanted to die, but he was helpless, so he could only spit on the ground, gritted his teeth and whispered in a voice that only he could hear: "Little beast, we'll see how long you can be so arrogant!"

As he said that, he walked towards the Jia family. Qin Huairu also went back to the house to start cooking. After all, there were two children, Banggeng and Xiaodang, who needed to be fed at home. Even if Jia Dongxu died, she had to keep vigil for Jia Dongxu, but she still had to cook. Yi Zhonghai then walked towards the Jia family to live with Qin Huairu to temporarily solve the problem of eating.

He had been being served by Li Xiangyun for so many years, and he didn't know how long it had been since he had been in the kitchen to cook. Now that he was asked to cook for himself, he really didn't know how to start. He could only shamelessly go to Qin Huairu's house for meals.

In the afternoon, under Yi Zhonghai's repeated reminders, Qin Huairu went to the steel mill as scheduled. In Li Huaide's office at the steel mill, she talked with Li Huaide for two hours before coming out. When she came out, Qin Huairu wiped her mouth, her face was slightly hunched, and there were traces of tears in the corners of her eyes. When she went downstairs, she even retched a bit while holding the stairs, but there was a hint of spring hidden between her eyebrows, and a smile on her face.

At the factory meeting the next day, Li Huaide brought up the issue of how to deal with Jia Dongxu's death. Director Yang originally wanted to cancel Jia Dongxu's work position. In addition, since Jia Dongxu's illegal operation caused the accident, the factory should not be responsible. He was not willing to compensate Jia Dongxu for his death.

However, Li Huaide pointed out at the meeting that although it was true that Jia Dongxu was facing the disciplinary punishment of dismissal but not retention, the incident happened when he was working in the steel rolling mill workshop and he was indeed processing parts at the time. Although it was true that he violated the regulations, it would be unreasonable for the factory to take back his work position without compensation.

In addition, Li Huaide also said that he had checked Jia Dongxu's file. Jia Dongxu's father used to work in a steel rolling mill and died in an accident at the steel rolling mill. Both father and son worked in the steel rolling mill and died in the factory. If the factory does not give his family certain compensation, it would be unreasonable.

Another thing is that after Jia Dongxu died, only his wife was left at home with two children, and there was a posthumous child in her belly. A woman with three children had lost her source of livelihood. If Jia Dongxu's work position was taken back, then his wife and children would completely lose their source of livelihood, and might starve to death.

After all, this is a new society. As the leader of a steel mill, he cannot be as ruthless as the capitalists in the old society. Even if Jia Dongxu made a mistake, the factory cannot be too heartless and force his wife and children into a desperate situation.
