Siheyuan, Kaiju replaced He Yuzhu as the chef

He Yuzhu's face turned red instantly, and he glared at Lu Qing angrily, with fire almost spitting out of his eyes.

The people around also began to talk in low voices.

"Lu Qing is right. If someone is injured, it is only right that you pay for the medical expenses."

"Yeah, Shazhu is too much. How can a disciple be treated like this?"

Hearing these discussions, Qin Huairu saw that the situation was not favorable to He Yuzhu, and hurriedly said softly: "Master must have a reason for teaching his disciple, and it is not convenient for us outsiders to interrupt."

Jia Zhang immediately agreed: "That's right, who knows what Lu Qing did that required Sha Zhu to do it?"

These words seemed to put all the responsibility on Lu Qing, making it seem as if He Yuzhu was forced to take action.

Uncle Yi Zhonghai stepped forward and raised his hand to smooth things over: "Everyone, don't get so excited. We all live in the same courtyard. We'll see each other sooner or later. Don't make things too awkward."

Then he turned to Lu Qing and said in a gentle tone: "Lu Qing, we all understand your situation. Sha Zhu also knows that he was wrong. Let's not pursue this matter."

Lu Qing sneered and asked, "What do you mean, he beat me, and that's it?"

"They are just trivial matters, why bother yourself so much?" Yi Zhonghai acted like a good old man, appearing to be indifferent.

He didn't take Lu Qing seriously at all, thinking that Lu Qing was just a young man with no background. He called Director Wang today just to make some noise. Did he really think that anyone could support him?

Lu Qing smiled slightly and said coldly: "A small matter? Master, you always claim to be fair, but today you must keep your word."

"Of course." Yi Zhonghai nodded firmly in response, feeling confident that things would develop in his own direction.

Seeing the old man standing on his side, He Yuzhu showed a smug smile on his face, secretly mocking himself in his heart: You want me to pay you money? Dream on!

However, at this moment, Lu Qing suddenly moved.

His figure appeared in front of He Yuzhu like a flash of lightning.

He Yuzhu only felt a strong sense of crisis, and before he could react, Lu Qing's fist had already hit him heavily in the chest.

"boom!"

He Yuzhu felt a sharp pain in his chest and staggered backwards involuntarily. Then a fishy and sweet taste rushed up his throat and his face turned pale in an instant.

"You...you dare to hit me?" He Yuzhu covered his chest and stared at Lu Qing in anger and disbelief.

Everyone around was stunned. No one expected Lu Qing to suddenly attack someone.

Seeing this, Yi Zhonghai shouted anxiously: "Lu Qing! What are you doing? How can you hit someone!"

Lu Qing calmly retracted his fist, his tone calm but sharp: "He hit me, I hit him back, what's the problem?"

He glanced around coldly and said, "Uncle, didn't you just say that the beating can be let go?"

"What? This rule doesn't apply to me?"

Yi Zhonghai was speechless after hearing Lu Qing's question, and for a moment he couldn't find any words to refute.

He Yuzhu recovered, then, in a rage, punched Lu Qing.

However, Lu Qing was already prepared. He kicked He Yuzhu with his backhand, knocking him to the ground, where he fell hard.

Seeing this scene, Qin Huairu was so distressed that she rushed over to support He Yuzhu and asked anxiously, "Shazhu, are you okay?"

She immediately looked up with anger and questioned Lu Qing: "What are you doing? Why did you do that? If anything happens to Sha Zhu, I will never let you go!"

Lu Qing smiled coldly and said with a bit of contempt: "Do you feel so sorry for him? Do you want to marry him so much?"

Qin Huairu was suddenly speechless, a trace of panic flashed across her face, and she realized that her performance was indeed a bit too much.

Just as she was about to explain, Lu Qing continued sarcastically, "What a pity! How could He Yuzhu possibly like a widow like you?"

"Lu Qing!" Qin Huairu was deeply touched by Lu Qing's words, and she felt so ashamed and angry that she couldn't face anyone.

The people around couldn't help but laugh softly after hearing this. Everyone knew Qin Huairu's little thoughts, but they didn't say them out loud for the sake of face.

Yi Zhonghai narrowed his eyes, obviously dissatisfied with Qin Huairu's performance.

Lu Qing was too lazy to talk to them anymore. He turned to look at Director Wang and said sincerely, "Director Wang, thank you for your help today."

Director Wang forced a smile, but he felt somewhat skeptical about Lu Qing's performance.

The Lu Qing in front of him was completely different from the helpless young man before.

It seemed as if he had set up the game long ago, and acted weak on purpose to give himself a reasonable chance to fight back.

After this play, no one could find fault with him, and everyone was manipulated by him into being speechless.

Director Wang thought to himself: When did Lu Qing become so shrewd?

No matter what, such a Lu Qing can at least protect himself and his family from being bullied. She sighed and felt that if Lu Qing's parents were still alive, they would probably feel comforted.

In this compound, there are many people with deep scheming, and people like He Yuzhu who rely on his status to be arrogant and domineering really deserve to be taught a lesson.

Director Wang sighed softly and said sternly, "Lu Qing, you handled this matter wrongly today. This will not happen again. Do you hear me?"

Lu Qing nodded obediently and said, "Got it. I promise there won't be a next time."

He also deliberately imitated He Yuzhu's previous tone and repeated He Yuzhu's perfunctory words at that time.

Director Wang nodded and prepared to leave: "Okay, it's getting late, I should go now."

Lu Qing said respectfully, "Director Wang, take care."

Everyone watched Director Wang leave, each thinking about something in their own mind.

Everyone saw this scene. Although Director Wang reprimanded Lu Qing on the surface, his words clearly showed that he was on his side.

Yi Zhonghai, He Yuzhu and others saw it clearly, and although they were angry, they could do nothing about it.

Who made Yi Zhonghai speak so decisively just now?

Since there are no consequences for hitting someone, it all depends on who has the harder fist.

He Yuzhu crawled up from the ground in a panic, covered in dust and looking extremely miserable.

He has always been a bully since he was young. When has he ever suffered such humiliation?

Especially since he was severely beaten by his own apprentice in front of everyone, he could not swallow this humiliation.

"Lu Qing! How dare you hit me! Are you tired of living?" He Yuzhu roared, his eyes full of resentment.

Lu Qing sneered in response: "What's wrong with hitting you? You only allow bullying others, but not allowing people to fight back?"

He Yuzhu gnashed his teeth in anger and said viciously: "Just wait and see!"

Lu Qing did not back down and said calmly, "I'm always at your service."

After saying that, he no longer paid attention to He Yuzhu and turned away.

Chen Wenhui watched all this from the side and was very nervous. She only breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Lu Qing was safe and sound.

Feeling the curious gazes from the people around her, she subconsciously lowered her head, not daring to look anyone in the eye.

Lu Qing walked up to her, gently put his arm around her shoulders, and said softly, "I'm hungry, let's go back and eat."

The two of them entered the house together.

Qin Huairu witnessed this scene and couldn't help feeling complicated.

In the past, every time she saw the ordinary-looking Chen Wenhui, she would feel a sense of superiority and feel that she was much better than her.

However, today, seeing Lu Qing being so intimate with Chen Wenhui, a hint of jealousy arose in her heart.

She couldn't help but think of herself. If her husband were still alive, she might have a complete family and wouldn't have to deal with several men now.

As Lu Qing and Chen Wenhui entered the house, the crowd gradually dispersed and the excitement just now also dissipated.

At the same time, Uncle Yi Zhonghai was sitting in He Yuzhu's house with a gloomy face, his eyes fixed on He Yuzhu who was lying on the bed indignantly.

He Yuzhu said indignantly, "Uncle, we can't just let this go! I must teach Lu Qing a lesson!"

Yi Zhonghai asked expressionlessly: "What are you going to do?"

He Yuzhu sneered and gritted his teeth, "He is still my apprentice. I can torture him however I want. I will make him live a life worse than death!"

Yi Zhonghai frowned, with a warning tone in his voice: "Don't be impulsive. If you go too far, even I can't help you."

He Yuzhu snorted coldly and said nonchalantly: "I understand that you are doing this for my own good, but it is really abnormal that Lu Qing dared to confront me head-on today."

Yi Zhonghai nodded and said thoughtfully: "I also noticed that his behavior today is indeed different from before. Maybe you pushed him too hard."

He Yuzhu waved his hand nonchalantly: "Just wait and see, he will suffer in the future!"

Meanwhile, Lu Qing sat at the table and had dinner with his family.

I just gave He Yuzhu a good lesson, and I feel a lot better now.

Plus, I was hungry, so the simple meal in front of me tasted especially delicious.

While eating, Chen Wenhui recalled what Lu Qing had said before about dealing with He Yuzhu. She thought he would take his time, but she didn't expect Lu Qing to act so quickly.

Thinking of He Yuzhu's embarrassed look just now, she couldn't help but smile, secretly happy in her heart: "You deserve it, for bullying my husband."

Suddenly, Chen Wenhui remembered something and turned around to ask, "By the way, I just saw a lot more vegetables in the kitchen. Where did they come from?"

Lu Qing replied casually: "I took it from the space."

"Space?" Chen Wenhui was confused and didn't quite understand what he meant.

Lu Qing explained casually: "Well, it's a place you can't see, where we can grow crops and raise livestock. When it's developed well, we won't have to buy vegetables, fruits, and meat anymore."

Chen Wenhui was surprised when she heard this: "Is there such a good thing?"

Lu Qing secretly laughed in his heart, thinking that this was the golden finger of the time traveler: "Of course there is."

This was the first time Chen Wenhui heard of such a thing and she found it both novel and somewhat unbelievable.

However, she didn't think too much about it. As long as it was good for their family, she didn't care about anything else.

Nothing happened that night. The next morning, Lu Qing got up early and prepared to go to work.

Today was his first time going to work after crossing into this world, and he decided to maintain his current identity for the time being.

After all, He Yuzhu had wasted a lot of his time, and he would not easily let go of this opportunity.

Only by continuing to stay with He Yuzhu can I have the opportunity to slowly discipline him and make him suffer.
