Siheyuan, Kaiju replaced He Yuzhu as the chef

Just as the atmosphere was becoming awkward, a person suddenly appeared at the door. It was Lu Qing.

"Teacher Yan, I heard that He Yuzhu is here, is that right?" Lu Qing's voice came, breaking the depressing atmosphere.

When Yan Bugui heard Lu Qing's voice, he seemed to see a savior and said hurriedly, "Yes, yes, yes, he is right here. What can I do for you?"

Lu Qing walked in and his eyes immediately fell on He Yuzhu, who was dressed up carefully.

He Yuzhu also glared at Lu Qing with an unhappy look on his face, muttering in his heart: Today is the important day of my blind date, why is Lu Qing here?

He Yuzhu said coldly: "What are you doing here? What do you want from me?"

Lu Qing was not frightened by his attitude and said directly: "Since Third Master is here, I just have something to explain to you in person."

He Yuzhu frowned: "What's the matter?" He was a little confused. He hadn't caused any trouble for Lu Qing yet, but he didn't expect Lu Qing to come to him on his own initiative.

Lu Qing said calmly, "Many years ago, my mother hoped that you could take me in as your apprentice, and gave you the apprenticeship fee, but you haven't taught me any skills in these years. Now that you don't plan to take me in as your apprentice, shouldn't you return the apprenticeship fee to us?"

He Yuzhu was slightly stunned when he heard this, obviously not expecting Lu Qing to bring up this matter in public.

After hearing this, Yan Bugui was also a little surprised. He didn't expect Lu Qing to make use of this old incident to make a fuss.

But if you think about it carefully, there is nothing wrong with Lu Qing doing this.

Back then, in order to let her son learn a good skill, Lu Qing's mother gave the apprenticeship fee to He Yuzhu early on.

It is said that the sum of money was as much as two hundred and twenty yuan, which was not a small sum in that era.

Lu Qing's mother saved money for a long time just to give her son a good future.

If He Yuzhu really teaches Lu Qing wholeheartedly, it will be worth it even though it costs a lot of money.

The problem is that He Yuzhu has not taught Lu Qing at all over the years. Instead, he has made things difficult for him everywhere.

In this case, it is reasonable for Lu Qing to come here today to ask for the return of his apprenticeship fee.

As Ran Qiuye listened to their conversation, he felt more and more complicated and didn't understand the ins and outs of these disputes.

She looked at them and felt that things were not as simple as they seemed.

He Yuzhu quickly came to his senses and immediately refused: "You gave me the money. After so many years, you still want it back? How can this be justified?"

Lu Qing did not back down: "You are not my master at all, and you want to take my apprenticeship fee?"

Yan Bugui also interrupted at this time and said, "Silly Zhu, in theory, the money was the apprenticeship fee, but you didn't teach Lu Qing at all in these three years, so you should really return the money to him."

He Yuzhu glared at Yan Bugui with disdain: "What's your business between us?"

Yan Bugui sneered: "I am just discussing the matter at hand. People should always be reasonable."

He Yuzhu snorted coldly: "Speaking of reason? I won't speak of reason today. What can he do to me?"

He Yuzhu's arrogant attitude completely angered Ran Qiuye.

She stood up suddenly, pointed at He Yuzhu's nose, and scolded him rudely: "How can you be so unreasonable? You can't be without bottom line! Since you don't want to accept a disciple, why do you still want to collect the apprenticeship fee? Isn't this obviously cheating?"

She became more and more angry as she spoke, and continued, "I never thought you were such a person without morals and bottom line! Meeting someone like you is simply disgusting!"

Ran Qiuye's anger was out of control, especially when she saw He Yuzhu's smug expression, which made her feel even more disgusted.

"If you still have any conscience, you should return the money to them now instead of deliberately delaying it!" she said angrily, mercilessly scolding He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu was stunned for a moment. When he saw Lu Qing, he was so angry that he completely forgot that he came here for a blind date with Ran Qiuye today.

What kind of person is Ran Qiuye?

She is a teacher and has extremely high standards for people's character. She will never tolerate bullying.

But just now I was careless and forgot to control my emotions.

After realizing this, He Yuzhu hurriedly put on a smile and tried to make amends: "Teacher Ran, don't get me wrong, you don't understand the situation between us. He is not that innocent at all."

Lu Qing sneered, looked at Ran Qiuye and said, "Teacher Ran, you are a teacher, that's even better, you can be a fair judge for us and see who is the problem."

Then, Lu Qing recounted the events of his apprenticeship to He Yuzhu three years ago, and described in detail how He Yuzhu had deliberately suppressed him and wasted his most precious study time over the past three years.

He Yuzhu became more and more annoyed as he listened, and couldn't help but yelled angrily: "Enough! Don't say any more!"

Lu Qing said helplessly: "Every word I said is true, Third Master can testify for me."

Yan Bugui touched his head and smiled awkwardly: "In fact, only the two of them know the specific situation, but the rumors I heard recently are indeed like this."

When Ran Qiuye heard this reply, she completely lost her good impression of He Yuzhu, and her eyes were full of disgust.

She originally thought that He Yuzhu's arrogance in the courtyard was Yan Bugui's one-sided statement, and even if she wanted to help, she couldn't find a suitable reason.

But now, Lu Qing's words completely ignited her anger.

Ran Qiuye shook her head in disappointment: "I didn't expect you to be this kind of person. It's a pity that Banggeng praised you so highly just now."

Bang Geng, who was standing nearby, felt that the atmosphere was a little off and said hurriedly, "Teacher Ran, what I said is true. Uncle Sha really helped me a lot!"

Banggeng thought to himself, he had done his best to say so many good things about He Yuzhu, so the silly uncle would definitely fulfill his promise and give him money, right?

However, the situation did not develop as he expected.

Lu Qing sneered at the side and said, "He has helped you a lot. He brings food back from the factory cafeteria for you every day."

"Bringing food back from the factory?" Ran Qiuye widened his eyes in shock.

"Yeah, there are a lot of good things." Banggeng agreed excitedly.

Ran Qiuye's expression suddenly became serious: "That's a collective thing, can we just bring it back and eat it?"

He Yuzhu then realized that something was wrong and quickly explained, "Those are just the leftovers from the cafeteria. It would be a waste to leave them there."

Lu Qing sneered and said, "Even if there are some left, they are public property, not yours."

Ran Qiuye immediately nodded in agreement: "That's right, how can you just take public property home?"

Lu Qing continued to expose: "He Yuzhu, you have helped Banggeng's family a lot, but his mother has also helped you a lot, right? Which piece of clothing on your body was not washed by her?"

Ran Qiuye was stunned. An unmarried man actually asked another woman to wash his clothes, and she washed them clean from head to toe?

This is something only extremely close people would do.

He Yuzhu was actually willing to accept it. Isn't this obviously "eating from the bowl and looking at the pot"?

Ran Qiuye felt even more disgusted. She simply couldn't believe that He Yuzhu was such a tactless person!

Yan Bugui sighed and said helplessly: "Alas, Qin Huairu is a widow after all, and her husband died young. This is all I can do to help her."
