Chapter 809 He Yuzhu Refuses to Cooperate
At this time, Jia Zhang was still cursing there, and the dirty words came out of her mouth like a machine gun, which made He Yuzhu even angrier. He Yuzhu's face turned red and the blue veins on his forehead bulged.
He Yuzhu turned to look at Yi Zhonghai and said unhappily: "Come on, who is in cahoots with you? You can do whatever you want, it has nothing to do with me, do you understand? Stop pretending to be a good guy here!" After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and was about to turn back.
Seeing this, Qin Huairu wanted to say something more to try to ease the atmosphere. But He Yuzhu suddenly turned his head, looked at her with cold eyes, and said viciously: "It's best not to mess with me, otherwise I don't know what I will do now. Think about it yourself!" The look in his eyes seemed to be able to spit out fire, making Qin Huairu swallow the words that were on the tip of her tongue.
Qin Huairu was stunned where she was, at a loss for a moment. Yi Zhonghai looked at Qin Huairu and said in a low voice, "Don't you know? Zhong Yi is now the canteen director. That guy has always disliked He Yuzhu and will definitely cause trouble for He Yuzhu. Do you think He Yuzhu can't be angry? He has no place to vent his anger right now, so don't provoke him anymore."
Qin Huairu felt that what Yi Zhonghai said made a lot of sense. She really couldn't irritate He Yuzhu any more at this time, otherwise things might get worse. So, she sighed helplessly, looked at Banggeng and said, "Okay, Banggeng, go back first and stop making trouble here."
Jia Zhang was about to continue her rant, but Qin Huairu quickly explained the situation Gu Nan and He Yuzhu might face, as Zhong Yicheng had been appointed canteen director at the steel mill. Jia Zhang was genuinely shocked to hear that Gu Nan had lost his canteen director position, while Zhong Yi had taken over. She opened her mouth, but ultimately decided it was too late to confront He Yuzhu. She glared at him fiercely, then reluctantly returned, grumbling, holding onto the stem of her stick.
Bang Geng's face flushed crimson, his eyes wide. He was about to open his mouth to refute He Yuzhu, but Qin Huairu suddenly rushed forward and covered his mouth tightly with her hand. Qin Huairu was extremely anxious, afraid that Bang Geng would say something more extreme and make things worse. She pulled hard and dragged Bang Geng towards home. Bang Geng kicked his feet on the ground and made indistinct sounds, but he couldn't break free from Qin Huairu's grip.
At this critical moment, He Yuzhu was filled with anxiety. He really didn't want Lu Jia beside him to be disappointed in him, so he raised his voice and shouted at the backs of Qin Huairu and Bang Geng, "Remember this! I'm going to make this clear right here today. From now on, I have nothing to do with the Jia family. Not even the slightest connection. Do you understand?"
Qin Huairu paused. She knew exactly what He Yuzhu meant by this; it was simply a move to completely sever ties with the Jia family. But at the moment, she felt helpless and speechless. She could only grit her teeth, continue pulling the stick hard, and hurried away.
Seeing that the excitement was gradually fading, the neighbors in the courtyard dispersed in twos and threes and went home. Soon, only Yi Zhonghai, He Yuzhu, and Lu Jia were left in the courtyard.
Yi Zhonghai frowned slightly, with a bit of anxiety in his eyes. He looked at He Yuzhu and said, "Zhuzi, what's the matter with you? Have you forgotten what I told you before? Gu Nan is the deputy director now. We have to cooperate with him well, otherwise it will be difficult for us to live in the factory in the future."
He Yuzhu shook his head slightly and said seriously, "Uncle Yi, I know Gu Nan has become the deputy director, but in this courtyard, at least he won't do anything to us. But you also have to understand that I am married now, and Lu Jia is the one I want to protect. I can no longer have too much contact with Qin Huairu like before. It's unfair to Lu Jia. Can you understand?"
Yi Zhonghai wanted to persuade He Yuzhu again, but He Yuzhu turned around, looked at Lu Jia with an apologetic look, and said, "Lu Jia, I'm really sorry. I was in a really bad mood today. I was delayed at the factory for some time, so I came back a little late and didn't have time to cook for you."
Lu Jia smiled gently. She had actually known about what happened in the steel mill for a long time. She said softly, "It's okay, Zhuzi. I want to show you my cooking skills today. Just wait and enjoy the meal. Come and taste my cooking skills."
Yi Zhonghai refused to give up and wanted to say something, but He Yuzhu had already taken Lu Jia's hand and walked towards his home without looking back. Yi Zhonghai was so angry that his hands were shaking, but there was nothing he could do. He was filled with depression and couldn't understand how things had turned out like this.
Back then, he had looked down on Gu Nan, thinking he was just a small-time figure with no connections. But now, Gu Nan had risen to the position of deputy factory director, a figure he couldn't afford to offend. He knew that with Gu Nan's current status, it would be impossible for him to deal with him. Furthermore, he had offended Gu Nan before, so trying to convince him and gain his forgiveness would be incredibly difficult, practically impossible.
Yi Zhonghai looked at the courtyard with melancholy, feeling a sense of desolation. The courtyard that once seemed peaceful and harmonious was now completely different.
With Jia Dongxu's death, the Jia family's life became increasingly difficult. He Yuzhu and he had reached such a point that he no longer listened to him as he used to. Worse still, Gu Nan and he had become his enemy. Each of these things worried him deeply, especially the conflict with Gu Nan, which filled him with fear and made him unsure what to do.
Bang Geng was dragged back home by Qin Huairu, feeling aggrieved. As soon as he entered the house, he looked at Qin Huairu with red eyes and asked in a tearful voice, "Mom, why didn't you help me? You just watched Sha Zhu bully me."
Before Qin Huairu could even open her mouth, Jia Zhang came out from the inner room, looking at her with displeasure. She demanded, "Qin Huairu, what's going on? Why don't you speak up for Banggeng? Banggeng is your own son, and you're just going to watch outsiders bully him?"
Jia Zhang didn't expect Qin Huairu to be such a person. She was really disappointed. How could this be?
Qin Huairu sighed helplessly, looked at Jia Zhang and said, "Mom, don't you understand? We can't go against He Yuzhu anymore. The situation is different now. We have to plan for the future."
