Siheyuan, Kaiju replaced He Yuzhu as the chef

Lu Qing smiled faintly: "Follow you?"

Xu Damao smiled proudly: "Why? I'm a projectionist at the steel mill. Follow me and I'll teach you a few tricks, how about that?"

Lu Qing shook his head: "I am now a chef in a steel mill and have my own job."

Xu Damao was amazed: "You have been with Sha Zhu for so long, but you haven't learned any real skills. What's the point?"

Lu Qing couldn't help but laugh. It seemed that Xu Damao had just returned and didn't know about the changes that had taken place during this period.

He shrugged. "Shazhu and I have never been a master-disciple relationship. We have gone our separate ways."

Xu Damao was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that things had developed to this point.

He thought that Lu Qing had been following Sha Zhu to learn the craft, and even wanted to get him to join him in dealing with Sha Zhu.

"It seems that a lot of things happened when I was away." Xu Damao murmured to himself.

Lu Qing smiled slightly and didn't say much.

Xu Damao frowned, somewhat dissatisfied with his attitude, thinking to himself: This kid has grown wings and become condescending now that he has made some progress? He even dared to confront an old man head-on just now. It seems that he is really bold and arrogant.

Xu Damao laughed dryly and reminded: "Lu Qing, as your brother, I have to remind you that you'd better be more careful and cautious in the future."

Lu Qing responded calmly: "Thank you for your kind reminder."

Xu Damao narrowed his eyes, turned around and left Lu Qing's house. The lively room suddenly became quiet.

Chen Wenhui stepped forward and asked with a hint of worry: "You have offended all of them today. Will they come to cause trouble in the future?"

Lu Qing smiled and consoled him, "There will definitely be trouble, but I don't intend to let them go just like that."

"Then...what are you going to do?" Chen Wenhui stared at him, feeling vaguely uneasy.

Lu Qing said softly: "Today has only shaken Yi Zhonghai's disguise. He has lost his image of fairness and selflessness. Other problems will be easy to solve next."

His plan today is to break the credibility that Yi Zhonghai has established in the Siheyuan.

Once this disguise is broken, Yi Zhonghai will lose his prestige in the hearts of the people, and his influence will naturally collapse.

Next, Lu Qing would not need to take action personally, as the people in the yard would make it impossible for Yi Zhonghai to turn over.

At the same time, Qin Huairu hid in her home, her heart filled with regret and anger.

She never expected that today she would take the initiative to step into the trap set by Lu Qing and Chen Wenhui.

Thinking back to the questions Chen Wenhui asked just now, each question was cleverly leading her to tell the truth.

Qin Huairu was shocked. Lu Qing's target was not He Yuzhu at all, but an old man.

She couldn't understand how Lu Qing saw through all this, where did he draw his conclusions from? How did Lu Qing know that the mastermind behind this was the elder and not He Yuzhu?

The more she thought about it, the more uneasy she felt. Today, not only did she offend He Yuzhu, but she also completely angered an old man.

Will the old man secretly give me rice and flour in the future? Will Sha Zhu secretly bring me food when he returns to the kitchen? If I encounter difficulties, will they still speak well of me?

The answer is obviously no.

When she thought of this, Qin Huairu's heart was filled with resentment towards Lu Qing and Chen Wenhui.

If it weren't for them, I would never be in this predicament. This is all their fault!

However, she couldn't settle the score with Lu Qing yet. The most important thing at the moment was how to win the forgiveness of the eldest master and He Yuzhu again.

Qin Huairu sat at home for a long time, thinking about what happened during the day. It was not until it got dark that Banggeng and Xiaodang returned home.

Xiaodang ran into the room excitedly and came to her with a small note in his hand.

"Mom, this is a note that a little kid asked me to bring to you. Come take a look at it." Xiaodang said with a smile.

"A note? For me?" Qin Huairu looked up and asked in confusion.

"Yes, and he gave me a candy!" Xiaodang shook the candy in his hand proudly.

Qin Huairu smiled and gently reproached: "You only know how to eat." Then, she curiously opened the note.

When she finished reading the content, her expression became slightly unnatural.

Xiaodang was right next to her. She didn't dare show too much emotion and just silently tore the note into pieces.

Xiao Dang asked in confusion: "Mom, why did you tear it up?"

Qin Huairu replied casually: "Useless things." Then, she stood up and made an excuse to cook: "I'll go prepare dinner for you."

When she got to the kitchen, she threw the crumpled pieces of paper into the fire and watched them quickly turn into ashes.

At this point, no one except herself knew what was written on the note.

At dinner, the family sat together to eat. Bang Geng pouted and complained unhappily, "I haven't eaten meat for a long time. Mom, when can I eat meat?"

Qin Huairu was somewhat helpless, and her tone was slightly impatient: "Why are you in such a hurry?"

"You've told me several times, but I still didn't get to eat the meat, so of course I'm anxious!" Bang Geng said dissatisfiedly.

Qin Huairu wanted to reprimand him, but seeing her son's expression, she softened her heart and said in a softer tone, "Don't worry, Mom will get some meat back soon."

"Really?"

"Of course it's true!" she said with a reassuring smile.

Bang Geng then revealed a satisfied smile.

At the same time, in an old man's house on the other side, Yi Zhonghai was sitting on a chair with a gloomy face and depressed mood.

Inside the room, an old lady came up to him, patted his shoulder and consoled him: "Don't think too much, don't make yourself angry."

Yi Zhonghai snorted coldly: "Lu Qing exposed my past in front of so many people, how can I not be angry?"

The lady frowned and said, "There is something wrong with Lu Qing recently. He always seems to be against us."

"This kid, now he thinks he has learned some cooking skills and is so arrogant that he doesn't even take me seriously."

"Hey, he's young and full of youthful energy. Besides, Sha Zhu has been bullying him for so long, so it's normal for him to be a little arrogant."

Yi Zhonghai sneered: "I think I have to suppress his arrogance, lest he really thinks he can turn the world upside down."

"Okay, okay, don't be angry. I'll go cook. You can drink more wine later and go to bed early. You'll be fine after a good sleep." After saying this, the aunt turned and went into the kitchen.

Yi Zhonghai nodded, feeling depressed, and decided to drown his sorrows in alcohol.

After a while, he heard a slight knock on the window.

He walked over with a frown and found a note stuck on the half-open window.

He stuck his head out and looked outside, but didn't see anyone. He picked up the note, opened it and looked at it for a few seconds, and his face immediately darkened.

After confirming that there was no one around, he breathed a sigh of relief, then quietly went to the kitchen and threw the note into the fire while the aunt was not paying attention.

That night, Yi Zhonghai became angrier and angrier as he thought about it, his heart filled with the humiliation of being exposed by Lu Qing in the yard.

Under the influence of alcohol, he drank a whole bottle of white wine in one breath, twice as much as usual.

However, despite his growing intoxication, he was still thinking about that important matter.

When it was late at night and everyone in the courtyard was asleep, he quietly opened the door and walked out.
