MMB Chapter 22 Luo Qiaoyun is Pregnant
Chapter 22 Luo Qiaoyun is Pregnant
After the group finished their meal, Qin Huairu had already left.
Honestly, He Yuzhu truly admired the other party's persistence.
Qin Huairu was truly born in the wrong era. Otherwise, someone as willing to go to such lengths for personal gain would probably be a top salesperson in any industry in the future.
If she and that person had joined Gree at the same time, Ms. Dong would definitely have had no chance.
He Yuzhu even planned that if Qin Huairu could persevere in the future, he would invest in her after the reform and opening up, and let her try her luck in the business world.
Of course, the premise is that she shouldn't be in charge of finances; let her be a sales manager. This way, she can utilize her abilities and make money for herself.
When Zhang Panpan and Xu Xiaoling returned home, they told their parents about having dinner at the He family's house.
They also talked about Qin Huairu going to their door to ask for meat. Xu Fugui and Zhang Xiaoquan's family all found Qin Huairu's shamelessness amusing.
The Jia family is now shameless, willing to do anything for a little benefit.
Xu Fugui hadn't figured out how to date He Yuzhu yet, and Xu Damao was already feeling uncomfortable.
He never took Sha Zhu seriously, even though his father kept saying that Sha Zhu was different now.
Deep down, Xu Damao didn't think Sha Zhu had become smarter; at most, he was just better at fighting. His only disadvantage was being two years younger than Sha Zhu. He figured that once Sha Zhu grew up, he wouldn't have to worry about Sha Zhu hitting people.
Besides, Xu Damao prefers to scheme against others from behind rather than resort to physical violence.
He's not good at academics, but Xu Damao is very confident in other areas. In his eyes, Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong, and Yan Bugui are all idiots.
However, Xu Damao is not yet independent and has little say in the family. When he saw his sister praising He Yuzhu, he went over to scold her and told her not to let Xu Xiaoling go to the He family in the future.
Xu Xiaoling would definitely disagree; her brother was incomparable to He Yushui's brother in any way. Looking at He Yushui's daily life and then at her own brother, Xu Xiaoling felt utterly exhausted.
Rumors have recently started circulating in the alley that Qin Huairu and Yi Zhonghai were scavenging in the cellar.
Furthermore, Jia Dongxu also knew that the rumor that he deliberately gave his wife to his master in order to gain benefits from his master Yi Zhonghai was false.
This rumor made Yi Zhonghai a laughing stock once again. Meanwhile, Jia Dongxu, Jia Zhangshi, and Qin Huairu fared no better.
When the old story was brought up again, Jia Dongxu was pointed at and ridiculed as a joke when he arrived at the steel rolling mill.
At first, Jia Dongxu was puzzled, but after he found out why, his face immediately turned as dark as Bao Zheng's.
After a day spent mindlessly busy with my tasks, I naturally ended up with a lot more scrapped parts.
The parts he made were inferior to those of others. If it weren't for Yi Zhonghai's support, he would have been kicked out of the workshop by the workshop director long ago.
This is also why Jia Dongxu quickly reconciled with Yi Zhonghai; he really didn't have much confidence to stand up straight in front of Yi Zhonghai.
If it weren't for Yi Zhonghai, Jia Dongxu would still be earning an apprentice's salary. It's thanks to Yi Zhonghai that Jia Dongxu is able to earn 300,000 yuan a month.
From this perspective, the rumors do make some sense, especially since the workers in the workshop had long been jealous of Jia Dongxu.
Despite doing work worse than an apprentice, Jia Dongxu happens to have a good mentor, and his fellow apprentices naturally don't mind giving him a push.
When Jia Dongxu got home from get off work, he first beat Qin Huairu up and then forbade her from going to He Yuzhu's house to beg for food.
After all, in today's rumor, there's also the story of Jia Dongxu taking the initiative to send his wife to a young man across the street to beg for food.
Such rumors are too hurtful to a man. No matter how much he wants to eat meat, he doesn't want to be looked down upon like this now.
It doesn't matter if your reputation is ruined in the Jia family's courtyard house, but it won't do at the steel mill.
Although Qin Huairu was beaten, she breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that she no longer had to beg for food at the He family's house every day.
Her daily visits are now a form of revenge. She knows, of course, how people will perceive her for being so shameless.
Since Jia Zhangshi and Jia Dongxu are shameless, what is she afraid of?
She had already resigned herself to her fate from the moment she married into the Jia family, which was a huge pit.
If she can't climb out of this situation on her own, then she might as well completely succumb to depravity. At the same time, Qin Huairu also learned to hypnotize herself, believing that no matter what shameful things she did, it was all forced upon her and that she had no way to resist.
This kind of hypnosis is surprisingly effective.
In addition, she always put on a wronged and helpless expression, and people gradually began to sympathize with Qin Huairu.
I felt that it must have been so difficult for her to be a daughter-in-law of the Jia family.
A wicked mother-in-law and an incompetent husband actually forced this young wife to beg for food in other people's homes. It's simply inhuman.
Qin Huairu quickly reversed her negative public image by exploiting her vulnerability and weakness. At most, Jia Zhangshi and Jia Dongxu were ridiculed even more harshly.
He Yuzhu heard these rumors and knew that Qin Huairu had cleared her name to some extent, so he wasn't surprised.
People are forgetful, including Yi Zhonghai, who has been keeping a much lower profile lately. It's only been 52 years; the other side has plenty of time to clear their name.
The people in the courtyard are all the kind who forget what they've been wronged by, and they're indifferent to things that don't concern them. Only when they get hurt themselves do they complain about how others didn't care.
Don't be fooled by the fact that people look down on Yi Zhonghai now. Once he becomes an eighth-grade worker, people will still be slapping him in the face.
Eleven families in the courtyard house worked at the steel rolling mill. If they wanted to make a name for themselves, they would definitely need to learn the skills from a master craftsman.
Following the Level 8 technician training program, one can eventually become a Level 8 technician themselves. Few people can be realistic about such a dream, which allows Yi Zhonghai to continue using his position to manipulate them.
Liu Haizhong was a blacksmith, and Hu Ning was the only other person in the institute working in the blacksmith's workshop. The rest were in the fitter's workshop, which gave Yi Zhonghai leverage over them.
Yi Zhonghai would never do something as foolish as teaching them technology. But that didn't stop him from using the opportunity of teaching them technology to force them to obey him.
Later, they found that they hadn't learned much, and by then they were used to being controlled by Yi Zhonghai, so they were powerless to resist.
He Yuzhu unexpectedly took down Yi Zhonghai's position as an "old man" last time, but in a few years, Yi will become an "old man" again.
He Yuzhu wasn't planning to kill Yi Zhonghai in one go; he was waiting to see what would happen when the other man got old.
Without Sha Zhu's help in his old age, Jia Dongxu will soon be crippled. Then Yi Zhonghai will have to find someone else to care for him, since Liu Haizhong in the courtyard has three sons, and Yan Bugui also has three sons.
It's just that neither of their children, Liu Haizhong nor Yan Bugui, are filial, so it's hard to say whether they will be filial to their neighbor, Yi Zhonghai.
Xu Damao is growing up soon. If Xu Fugui wants to make room for Xu Damao in his job and house, he will definitely leave the steel mill and even the courtyard house.
When Xu Fugui invited He Yuzhu for drinks, it was because he had placed a bet in advance, making sure to do He Yuzhu a good deed beforehand.
Once he officially leaves the courtyard house, can He Yuzhu refuse to take care of Xu Damao again?
Xu Damao was already very smart, and with He Yuzhu's support in terms of force, Xu Fugui had no reason to worry about his son being bullied in the courtyard.
Given the shabby and deformed people in the courtyard, if Xu Damao and He Yuzhu joined forces, probably no one could stand against them.
He Yuzhu had long understood Xu Fugui's meaning, and he was willing to join forces with Xu Damao.
He Yuzhu cannot move away in a short time, so if he wants to live peacefully for the next thirty years, he must not make enemies of the entire hospital.
Even now, people are coming to his door asking for money. As long as the reason is legitimate and the person is genuinely in need, He Yuzhu will lend them tens of thousands of yuan as long as they sign an IOU.
However, if the loan is given out and the other party returns it, it will only be lent out again a second time.
Some people paid back, while others simply pretended they never remembered it ever happened.
He Yuzhu doesn't necessarily trust those who repay the money, but at least they've done a decent job.
In the future, if families like this come to him for a loan, He Yuzhu will continue to lend them money.
As for those who borrowed money and never mentioned it, He Yuzhu had plenty of ways to make things difficult for them.
Of the few outstanding birds in the courtyard, the deaf old lady has already been sent away.
Yi Zhonghai remained silent for a while, and Jia Zhangshi did not dare to personally come forward to cause trouble.
Liu Haizhong is no longer the group leader, so naturally he won't come to the courtyard to cause trouble.
Yan Bugui has only recently begun using his position as the Third Uncle to act as a doorman; he hasn't yet evolved to the point where he'd even taste the saltiness of a manure cart.
Once he has fully evolved, He Yuzhu will give him a big gift, a one-time blow that will hurt his opponent badly.
Luo Qiaoyun has returned from her hometown. This time, she stayed at her parents' home for twenty days.
In other words, Yi Zhonghai is keeping a low profile now, and Luo Qiaoyun has always kept a low profile as well.
No one in the courtyard noticed anything unusual until almost a month after she returned, when news suddenly spread that Luo Qiaoyun was pregnant.
The Jia family of the Intermediate People's Court.
Jia Zhangshi, Jia Dongxu, and Qin Huairu remained silent in the room.
"Dongxu, what are you thinking now? Are you still planning to learn skills from that good-for-nothing Yi Zhonghai?"
Jia Dongxu looked up at Jia Zhangshi with a bitter expression.
"Mom, there are already masters in the factory, and there's no way to change masters. Other master masters won't take me on, no matter what their character is like. But he is, after all, one of the best people in the factory. Unless Yi Zhonghai leaves the steel rolling mill, he will be my only master."
"Then you need to find a way to ease the tension with him, otherwise you'll never learn the skills. You can't stay a junior worker forever, can you?"
"Mom, Dongxu, why don't we invite him to a meal and talk things out? There's nothing wrong with it; you've misunderstood Master Yi."
Jia Zhangshi was about to curse when she opened her mouth, but then she thought that the situation was different now.
She was convinced that Yi Zhonghai would never abandon Jia Dongxu for the sake of his retirement. This was also why Jia Zhangshi kept making a fuss and wasn't afraid of Yi Zhonghai turning against her.
Jia Zhangshi even had a twisted logic: the more she made a fuss, the more honest and filial Jia Dongxu would appear.
The premise is that Luo Qiaoyun cannot get pregnant. That old hen, who was destined not to have children, suddenly getting pregnant disrupted Jia Zhangshi's plans.
For the past few months, the Jia family and Yi Zhonghai have had no contact whatsoever, each waiting for the other to back down.
