Siheyuan: The beauty Xueru Huizhen, the birds are jealous

After returning to the dormitory, Sha Zhu tossed and turned in bed, feeling both grateful to Qiu Yuan and full of regret for himself.

He realized that in this new era, relying on cleverness and cutting corners would not work. Only by being down-to-earth and abiding by rules and regulations could he win the respect and trust of others.

Sha Zhu looked up and saw a middle-aged man in a neat chef's uniform looking at him with a smile. That was Qiu Yuan, the new chef in the cafeteria, who was known for his superb cooking skills and kind personality.

Although Sha Zhu was still doubtful, the sudden warmth made him nod and follow Qiu Yuan into the kitchen.

"Come, have a drink of water and talk slowly." Liu Lan, the helper in the kitchen, added water to the two of them while interrupting with a smile, and the atmosphere instantly became much more relaxed.

"Brother Qiu, what happened today is really..." Sha Zhu just opened his mouth, with a bit of grievance in his voice.

"Don't worry, I believe you are not that kind of person." Qiu Yuan interrupted him, his eyes full of sincerity and understanding. He had the ability to speak differently to different people, but at this moment, he used all his words to comfort Sha Zhu.

"I've worked as a cook in this yard for so many years, but in the end I still have to collect manure. What do you think about this..." Sha Zhu sighed and finally opened up.

Qiu Yuan listened quietly, nodding and frowning from time to time, as if he could empathize with the situation.

"And there's Yang Ming, who lives in the same courtyard. He's so arrogant all day long and even extorts money from our courtyard." Sha Zhu became more and more excited as he spoke. "When the Jia family held a wedding, he found an excuse to charge several hundred more, and even said something about 'rules'. Bah!"

Qiu Yuan's eyes became sharper, and he keenly caught the evil behind Yang Ming's behavior. He deliberately asked: "Oh? How did he blackmail you? Tell me about it."

"Take the pregnant woman for example. She almost fell down in such a cold weather, but he insisted that someone had damaged his car and demanded compensation." Sha Zhu was indignant. "How could the pregnant woman's family have money? In the end, it was the people in our courtyard who had to collect the money."

Qiu Yuan secretly calculated in his heart that this information was enough to greatly reduce Yang Ming's image. He continued to guide: "What other despicable things has Yang Ming done?"

Sha Zhu thought for a moment and continued, "There are too many. He bullies people because he has some money. Xu Damao was humiliated in public by him just because he said a few bad things about him behind his back. He almost lost face in front of others."

As Sha Zhu's accusation continued, Qiu Yuan's anger was ignited. He realized that Yang Ming's evil deeds were far more than that, and he had to expose his true face.

"By the way, Brother Qiu, have you heard? There seems to be something wrong with Yang Ming's wife's background." Sha Zhu suddenly lowered his voice and said mysteriously.

Qiu Yuan's eyes lit up when he heard this, this was big news! "What's the specific situation? Tell me in detail." He asked, and every word revealed his urgency.

Sha Zhu shook his head, saying that he only knew the general idea.

"Anyway, people are saying that her family used to have ties to the reactionaries."

Qiu Yuan had a plan in mind. If this information was true, it would be enough to cause Yang Ming to suffer a serious setback during this special period.

He patted Sha Zhu on the shoulder and said gratefully: "Brother, thank you for telling me this. Don't worry, I will find out the truth about this matter."

The two looked at each other, and without saying anything, they had established a deep trust between them.

Qiu Yuan knew that the information in his hands would be a powerful weapon to expose Yang Ming's disguise and bring justice to Sha Zhu and everyone else.

And Sha Zhu also felt the long-lost warmth and power of justice at this moment.

"Teacher Ran, your life has been getting better and better since you married Yang Ming." Liu Lan answered from the side, with a bit of envy in her tone, "She was already pretty, and now she dresses like a city girl, her temperament is different.

When Sha Zhu heard this, the corners of his mouth lifted unconsciously, but then he frowned again.

"Compared with Qin Huairu?" he asked in a low voice, as if he was talking to himself, or as if he was looking for an answer.

"How can we compare them? Teacher Ran is the kind of beauty that is gentle and bookish, while Qin Huairu is the image of a hardworking and simple rural woman." Liu Lan thought for a moment and answered seriously, "However, if we talk about attractiveness, I think Teacher Ran is more attractive now."

Qiu Yuan was listening with great interest and couldn't help but interrupt: "Teacher Ran? What's her full name? Where is she from? Who else is in her family?" A series of questions were thrown out like a machine gun.

Liu Lan smiled and shook her head, but still answered patiently: "Her name is Ran Qiuye, and her hometown is out of town. I can't remember exactly where. As for her family situation, I heard it was not easy before, but since she married Yang Ming, all of this has become a thing of the past."

When Sha Zhu heard this, his face darkened and he snorted coldly: "What good can Yang Ming do? He is so selfish. I guess Ran Qiuye was forced to marry him by him."

"Hey, Silly Zhu, you can't say that." Liu Lan quickly tried to smooth things over. "Although Yang Ming is a bit overbearing sometimes, he is still very good to Teacher Ran. Besides, who can tell the truth about love?"

Sha Zhu did not continue the topic, but fell into his own thoughts. 3.9 He recalled his impulsiveness and persistence when he was young. For a man, he did not hesitate to break up with his family and go far away. Now, the man has long lost contact, and he is alone. Whenever it is late at night, the loneliness and helplessness come like a tide.

"Speaking of which, how much do you know about Ran Qiuye's family affairs?" Sha Zhu tried to change the subject, but there was still a hint of barely perceptible loneliness in his voice.

"Oh, yes, there's also Lou Xiao'e." Liu Lan's eyes lit up as if she remembered something. "She is very different from Teacher Ran. She is the daughter of a capitalist. I don't know how she got into the steel mill and is very close to Yang Ming."

"The daughter of a capitalist?" Qiu Yuan's eyes widened in surprise. "Then how did she get in? Did she use the back door?"

"You don't know this. Lou Xiao'e has some relationship with Director Yang of our factory. They are said to be relatives." Liu Lan lowered her voice and said mysteriously, "Also, I heard that she was also with Xu Damao, but I don't know why they broke up later. Now she is sticking with Yang Ming. It's really hard to understand."

When Sha Zhu heard this, his face became even gloomier.

He had never had a good impression of Lou Xiao'e, thinking that she came from a poor family but was trying to climb up the social ladder. Now she was even throwing herself at Yang Ming, which made him feel very uncomfortable.

"Hmph, what an ungrateful person! We were so good to her in the past, but now she has forgotten everything." He said indignantly.

"Qiu Yuan, have you heard? Yang Ming, that kid, may have a safe family, but the city may not be peaceful." Sha Zhu's eyes flickered, with a barely perceptible smile on the corner of his mouth, as if hinting at something.
