Chapter 808: Banggeng's Self-Delusion
Thinking back to how unreasonable He Yuzhu had been, he almost forgot who he was if he wasn't disciplined. So, Zhong Yi turned to look at Ma Hua and said, "Ma Hua, you have to check carefully to see if there are any spots that are dirty. Talk to Master He about it later, so that Master He doesn't get confused about where to clean, otherwise it would be a waste of time."
Ma Hua quickly nodded and responded, "Okay, Director Zhong, don't worry, I will check it carefully." After that, he began to look around the kitchen, pointing out some places that needed cleaning from time to time. He Yuzhu could only respond while continuing to clean, feeling helpless and depressed.
Zhong Yi crossed his arms, staring at He Yuzhu with a sharp gaze. His intention was clear: to teach He Yuzhu a lesson, to make him understand clearly that there were some people in this world he could afford to offend, but there were others he simply couldn't afford to offend. Zhong Yi deliberately paced slowly around the cafeteria, his eyes wandering to every corner, stopping from time to time to find fault here and there, clearly trying to embarrass He Yuzhu.
He Yuzhu was no fool; he naturally understood the implications of Zhong Yi's words. Though he was filled with resentment, he could only swallow his anger. He obediently picked up the broom and began to clean diligently. He bent over, sweeping again and again, each stroke filled with reluctance and helplessness. The rustling sound of the sweeping seemed to convey his inner frustration.
Zhong Yi watched He Yuzhu busying himself, occasionally giving him some pointers: "This one isn't swept clean enough, be more careful." "That table over there isn't wiped clean enough either, wipe it again." He Yuzhu could only silently do as he was told. After a long while, Zhong Yi felt that it was almost done and the timing was right, so he smiled with satisfaction and said, "Okay, follow this standard from now on. I'll come to check on you from time to time. If you still can't meet this requirement, don't blame me for being rude."
He Yuzhu gritted his teeth, his heart itching with hatred, but he didn't dare to lash out. He could only force a smile, nodding and saying, "I understand, Director Zhong. Don't worry, I will definitely do it well."
Zhong Yi nodded with satisfaction and turned to leave the cafeteria. He thought to himself that there would be plenty of opportunities to deal with He Yuzhu in the future. Whenever he wanted to deal with him, it would just be a matter of a word.
He Yuzhu watched Zhong Yi's departing figure, his anger rising uncontrollably. After all this busy work, his back and waist ached, and he felt like he was dying of exhaustion. He packed up his things in a huff, dragging his exhausted body back home in a rage.
At this moment, Gu Nan's home was wafting with tempting aromas, and the whole yard was filled with the aroma of food. Gu Nan had carefully prepared a table full of sumptuous dishes, and the aroma seemed to have a magical power, penetrating into everyone's nose.
As He Yuzhu entered the yard, he ran into Banggeng. Banggeng's eyes lit up at the sight of He Yuzhu, and he hurried over. Banggeng knew that the mill workers had already returned from get off work, but He Yuzhu hadn't returned so late. He must have cooked for him in the cafeteria and brought back some delicious food.
Bang Geng ran up to He Yuzhu and asked expectantly, "Uncle Zhuzi, did you bring back any delicious food? Let me see it."
He Yuzhu also smelled the fragrance coming from Gu Nan's house. This fragrance seemed to remind him that it was this Gu Nan who had ordered Zhong Yi to come to trouble him. The anger in his heart suddenly rose again, and he secretly thought that if he had the chance, he must teach Gu Nan a lesson.
However, He Yuzhu soon lost his temper. He knew that when Gu Nan was at a similar level to him, he hadn't been able to do anything to him. Now that Gu Nan had become the deputy director, he was no match for him. Thinking of this, He Yuzhu couldn't help but feel depressed.
Bang Geng saw He Yuzhu standing there, staring at the direction of Gu Nan's house without saying a word, and thought he was thinking about something delicious, so he reached out and shook He Yuzhu, urging him: "Silly Zhu, what are you thinking about here? Show me what delicious food you brought."
He Yuzhu was already fuming, having no place to vent his anger. The shaking and prodding of the stick instantly ignited his rage. He turned abruptly and shoved the stick away, cursing, "Go away, get out of here!"
Banggeng was expecting He Yuzhu to give him something delicious, but he never expected He Yuzhu to do this suddenly. Without any reaction, he was pushed backward by He Yuzhu and fell heavily to the ground with a "thump".
Banggeng sat on the ground, grimacing in pain. He looked at He Yuzhu in shock and anger, cursing loudly: "He Yuzhu, you bastard, why did you push me? What gives you the right to treat me like this!"
He Yuzhu was already very annoyed and had a lot of anger in his heart with nowhere to vent. When Banggeng scolded him like that, he immediately flew into a rage. He glared at him and shouted, "Who are you scolding, you little bastard? What's wrong with me pushing you?" The voice was like a loud bell, echoing in the narrow space of the courtyard.
Banggeng, frightened by He Yuzhu's shove and his ferocious appearance, burst into tears. The sharp, resonant cry instantly shattered the quiet of the courtyard. Qin Huairu had been busy all day, exhausted and just about to rest, but upon hearing Banggeng's cries, she instinctively rushed out. Meanwhile, Jia Zhang also rushed out of the house in her slippers.
Jia Zhang rushed to He Yuzhu in a few steps, pointed her finger at his nose and cursed: "He Yuzhu, you bastard, what are you doing here? How can you hit a child? Do you have any humanity at all!" The curse was so sharp and shrill, as if she wanted to eat He Yuzhu alive.
Qin Huairu also walked over quickly and said with a reproachful look on her face: "Yes, Zhuzi, what are you doing? No matter how ignorant Banggeng is, he is still a child after all." As she spoke, she pulled Banggeng behind her with heartache, like a hen protecting her chicks.
As the noise grew louder, the neighbors were drawn in. Yi Zhonghai, upon hearing the commotion, hurried out of his house. He squeezed into the crowd, looked at He Yuzhu, and said, "Yes, Zhuzi, we're all in this together now. How could you hit Banggeng? If this gets out, it'll tarnish the reputation of our courtyard."
