Qin Huairu's worries were not without reason. She had always lived a life of being the center of attention in the compound. No matter the first uncle, the second uncle, the third uncle, or even others, they all took special care of her.

But if Ran Qiuye entered this compound, this intellectual woman who was out of tune with everyone would definitely attract everyone's attention.

By then, most of the benefits enjoyed by Qin Huairu would most likely be taken away by Ran Qiuye.

Especially He Yuzhu's care for her. If he and Ran Qiuye got together, would He Yuzhu continue to bring things for her?

The answer is obviously no.

At that time, Qin Huairu's life must have been more difficult than it is now.

He Yuzhu looked at Qin Huairu's frozen expression and asked with a smile, "What's wrong with you? Shouldn't you be happy for me when you hear such good news?"

"Go and have fun on your own." Qin Huairu said, then turned and left with mixed feelings.

He Yuzhu looked at her back and smiled helplessly. He was not a fool, how could he not know what Qin Huairu thought of him?

But some things are inappropriate, especially when it comes to marriage.

I have a city hukou and I have a skill, so it is not difficult for me to find a wife. How could I possibly marry a widow?

If this gets out, people will definitely laugh at me.

Thinking of this, He Yuzhu was very determined. Although Qin Huairu had helped him a lot, he could only keep his distance. Maybe he would take care of her in other aspects in the future, but marriage was impossible.

Friday came in a flash, and the payday finally arrived.

Lu Qing was originally a little worried that He Yuzhu would interfere, after all, He Yuzhu's status was still not small.

But when he successfully received his salary, he was in a very happy mood. Although the salary was not much, it had relieved a lot of pressure for the current situation.

This is just the beginning. Lu Qing knows that things will get better and better as time goes by.

At noon that day, He Yuzhu still did not come and asked for leave under the pretext of "feeling unwell".

Director Li came to the cafeteria and said a few sarcastic words, expressing his dissatisfaction with He Yuzhu's absence.

Ma Hua and Zheng Min felt very nervous when they heard these words.

As He Yuzhu's men, their position became precarious without He Yuzhu.

Director Li made no secret of his dissatisfaction with He Yuzhu's absence, which made the two of them even more cautious and felt like "redundant people" in the cafeteria.

Ma Hua stood there, muttering to himself, "It's been three or four days, why hasn't Master remembered his cooking skills yet?"

When Zheng Min heard this, he was stunned and asked in surprise: "What do you mean by this?"

Ma Hua couldn't help but whispered, "What else can it mean? The master has forgotten his cooking skills."

"What?" Zheng Min opened his eyes wide in surprise, "Is there such a thing?"

Ma Hua rolled his eyes: “Nonsense, if it weren’t for this, would Master let Lu Qing be so arrogant?”

Zheng Min originally thought that He Yuzhu would never lose to Lu Qing. He had been suspecting that something was wrong with He Yuzhu these past few days, but he didn't expect the problem to be so outrageous - He Yuzhu actually forgot his cooking skills!

No wonder he didn't dare to cook for the big boss, nor did he dare to compete with Lu Qing head-on. All this finally made sense.

Zheng Min stood there in a daze, with mixed emotions surging in his heart.

If He Yuzhu really lost his cooking skills, and I had been following him and protecting him, not only would I not learn any skills, but I would also offend a friend I should have won over. If this continued, wouldn't my future be completely over?

He pursed his lips and asked anxiously, "What's going on? Why did you forget your cooking skills?"

Ma Hua curled his lips impatiently: "You ask me, who should I ask? Who knows what's going on!"

Ma Hua was also anxious. If the master did not come back soon, their future would be worrying.

Without He Yuzhu's support, their position in the cafeteria was in jeopardy, and whether they could learn cooking skills again became an unknown.

The two's concerns did not attract the attention of others, just as they ignored Lu Qing in the past.

Now that the tables have turned, their situation has become extremely embarrassing.

On the other hand, Lu Qing returned home after get off work and handed his salary to Chen Wenhui.

When Chen Wenhui saw the salary, she breathed a sigh of relief: "I thought I wouldn't get the salary, but I actually got it."

Lu Qing smiled and said, "I am a little worried, but I don't think Director Li will hold up my salary. He wants to use me to suppress He Yuzhu now. With such a good opportunity, he won't offend me easily."

Chen Wenhui nodded: "It's good to have money. At least I don't have to worry about any emergencies during this period."

Lu Qing comforted him, "Don't worry, there will be more in the future, and life will get better and better."

Chen Wenhui looked at him and said firmly: "I believe you have this ability."

Lu Qing thought for a moment and suggested, "Tomorrow is a day off, let's go out and buy something."

Chen Wenhui readily agreed: "Okay, let's see what we need."

Lu Qing smiled and said, "I want to buy you some new clothes, and the children and I also need to change our clothes. Do you think this money is enough?"

Chen Wenhui shook her head and explained, "Money alone is not enough. You need tickets for many things. You can't buy clothes whenever you want. It's better to take your time and buy them one by one."

When Lu Qing heard her say this, he remembered that the supply of materials was tight in this era. Buying things not only required money, but also tickets. Moreover, with their current conditions, it was not realistic to buy everything at once.

Chen Wenhui continued, "You work outside every day and have to meet people, so let me make clothes for you first. If you dress decently outside, people will think you are steady."

Lu Qing nodded and agreed with her suggestion.

After all, he does need to appear outside frequently and sometimes has to meet leaders, so dressing appropriately will also help improve his image.

This is not only a matter of face, but to some extent, his clothes will also affect the impression he makes on others.

Seeing that Lu Qing agreed, Chen Wenhui showed a happy smile on her face.

Lu Qing also did not forget to care about life at home. After entering the space, he brought out the chickens that had been mature and processed.

"You have been working hard recently. Let's stew this chicken tomorrow to replenish your body." Lu Qing handed the chicken to Chen Wenhui.

Chen Wenhui stared at the big chicken for a long time, seeming a little at a loss.

She had never seen such a big chicken before, let alone suddenly having a ready-made chicken at home.

She instinctively wanted to ask Lu Qing where the chicken came from, but she swallowed the words back as they came to her lips.

Although she and Lu Qing lived together, their relationship was not that close, and there seemed to be a layer of alienation between them.

After being stunned for a moment, Chen Wenhui finally reacted and nodded, saying, "I see, I will take care of it tomorrow. You should have a good rest today and wait for the meal tomorrow."

Lu Qing couldn't help feeling confused as he listened to her words.

Although Chen Wenhui is a good person, he seemed too cold and indifferent when faced with such a big thing as he didn't ask a single question.

Even if you trust yourself, you wouldn't be so indifferent to these things, right?
