Siheyuan, Kaiju replaced He Yuzhu as the chef

The conflict between Lu Qing and He Yuzhu was already an open secret in the courtyard, and everyone in the courtyard could see it.

He Yuzhu is a petty person to begin with, otherwise why would he not teach Lu Qing how to cook?

Now that Lu Qing has mastered cooking and has established a firm foothold in the factory, He Yuzhu deliberately comes to cause trouble and appears particularly arrogant.

However, the Jia family members living in the central courtyard and the eldest uncle Yi Zhonghai did not think so.

They felt that it was all Lu Qing's fault.

Originally, the layout of the courtyard was in good order, but the appearance of Lu Qing destroyed this balance, not only making He Yuzhu lose face, but also making them lose prestige in the courtyard.

What's worse, it will become more difficult to continue to control Lu Qing and profit from him in the future.

At night, uncle Yi Zhonghai called He Yuzhu and Qin Huairu to his home. There were peanuts and Erguotou on the table, and they drank the wine slowly.

Yi Zhonghai looked at the two of them, peeled a peanut and put it in his mouth, then asked, "How is it, do you feel particularly powerless now, and have no way to deal with Lu Qing at all?"

He Yuzhu was already in a bad mood, so he said directly: "Uncle, if you have anything to say, just say it directly, don't beat around the bush."

Qin Huairu said with a smile: "I know you have a solution, why don't you teach Sha Zhu and help him solve the problem at hand."

Yi Zhonghai snorted coldly, looked at the intimacy between the two of them, and said meaningfully: "I can teach you, but you have to tell me the truth first."

He Yuzhu was slightly stunned, then he remembered that there was an important thing he had been hiding from his uncle.

He whispered, "Actually, I don't know what happened. I suddenly forgot my cooking skills. I suspect this has something to do with Lu Qing. After he beat me that day, it became like this. I must make trouble for him."

"Why didn't you tell me such a big thing earlier?" Yi Zhonghai looked serious and stared at him sternly.

He Yuzhu said helplessly: "I thought I would be able to remember it soon, so I didn't take it seriously. I didn't expect that I haven't recovered yet..."

"Hmph, since you don't trust me so much, there's really no need for me to help you." Yi Zhonghai responded coldly.

He Yuzhu quickly apologized with a smile: "Uncle, don't say that. Am I short-sighted? If I had listened to you earlier, I might have dealt with Lu Qing a long time ago."

After hearing these words, Yi Zhonghai's mood improved slightly.

However, Qin Huairu's expression became a little complicated. She looked at He Yuzhu and asked, "Silly Zhu, do you really not remember your cooking skills?"

"How could I lie to you about something like this?" He Yuzhu asked back angrily.

Qin Huairu thought about it carefully and felt that what He Yuzhu said made sense.

There's really no need to lie about such a big thing.

If He Yuzhu really forgot his cooking skills, it would not be of any benefit to him. Instead, he would become an ordinary worker. No matter how you look at it, it would not be worth it.

However, thinking of this, Qin Huairu gradually felt lost.

He Yuzhu lost his identity as a chef, which meant that she and the children would no longer be able to rely on him to eat good food as before.

In particular, the chances of eating meat will become even slimmer.

As a result, her original affection and care for He Yuzhu also faded a little.

After all, if He Yuzhu became an ordinary worker, his salary would be much lower and his life pressure would increase.

Qin Huairu thought to herself: On days like this, can I really count on He Yuzhu in the future?

Seeing this, Yi Zhonghai waved his hand and said, "Okay, He Yuzhu, even if you have lost your cooking skills, you are still a regular worker in the steel mill. As long as you don't make mistakes of principle, the factory will not do anything to you. In the future, as long as you listen to me, I can still let you live an easy life like before."

What Yi Zhonghai said is not without reason.

As an eighth-level fitter in the steel rolling mill, he has a very high status and voice in the workshop. As long as he decides to protect He Yuzhu, others have to accept it even if they are dissatisfied.

He Yuzhu thought about it and realized that this was the truth. He felt a little relieved and said with a smile, "From now on, I will completely rely on you, uncle."

Yi Zhonghai smiled, picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and then asked, "What do you think of Lu Qing?"

"This kid has been too arrogant recently. We can't keep him." He Yuzhu said gritting his teeth.

"I also feel that he has been so high-profile lately that it makes people uncomfortable." Qin Huairu echoed.

Yi Zhonghai waved his hand and said calmly: "I'm not asking you to evaluate his performance, but to go a step further. How can we make him return to his previous honest self?"

He Yuzhu and Qin Huairu looked at each other, feeling anxious but helpless.

They all wanted to make Lu Qing inconspicuous again, but after thinking for a long time, they couldn't think of any effective way.

He Yuzhu said helplessly: "Uncle, if you have any plans, just tell us directly, don't embarrass us."

Yi Zhonghai smiled slightly, put down his wine glass, and turned his gaze to Qin Huairu: "This time it depends on you."

"Depend on me?" Qin Huairu pointed at herself in confusion, looking a little puzzled.

He Yuzhu didn't understand either, and thought to himself: What's the point of relying on a woman for such a big thing?

Yi Zhonghai looked disdainful and said calmly: "As long as we can find evidence of Lu Qing's misconduct, we can bring him to ruin."

It was just a simple sentence, but it shocked He Yuzhu and Qin Huairu like thunder.

They looked at each other and immediately understood what Yi Zhonghai meant.

This is to let Qin Huairu use her beauty to set a trap and frame Lu Qing.

Qin Huairu suddenly felt a sense of grievance and humiliation rising in her heart, and her face turned ugly.

Although she is not a chaste woman, she does not think that she should be used as a tool to sacrifice her beauty.

She felt a little sad. After all, there was not much hatred between her and Lu Qing. Was it really necessary for her to go to this extent?

Qin Huairu subconsciously retorted: "Uncle, what do you mean by this? How can you let me do such a thing?"

Yi Zhonghai looked indifferent and said coldly: "I know you don't want to do this, but you have to think about the future. If Sha Zhu is in trouble now, how can he help you? Moreover, if Sha Zhu falls, I might be the next one to be dealt with by Lu Qing, and then you."

Qin Huairu hesitated and whispered, "But... I am ten years older than Lu Qing, how could he..."

Yi Zhonghai looked at Qin Huairu's still charming figure from top to bottom and smiled: "I know what we men think. Don't worry, Lu Qing will definitely not refuse."

Qin Huairu was suddenly speechless and looked at He Yuzhu for help, hoping that he could say a few words for her.

However, He Yuzhu was already lost in his own thoughts.

He Yuzhu recalled Lu Qing's current complacency in his mind, and felt unwilling. If he wanted Lu Qing to recognize his position again, perhaps some special means were really needed.

Although the uncle's suggestion sounds extreme, it is indeed the simplest and most direct solution at present.

Once he succeeds, Lu Qing will not only lose his status in the factory, but will also be unable to hold his head up in the courtyard.

If the matter gets out of hand, Lu Qing might even go to jail, or even worse.

Thinking of this, He Yuzhu nodded coldly and said, "The suggestion of the eldest uncle is good, we can try it."
