Just right.
He also wants to talk to her and explain things today.
"Let's find a place to talk."
Upon hearing He Hongyang's words, and seeing the restaurants on the street, they realized that...
I thought he was going to take me out to a restaurant.
Those who were happy went to the restaurant.
To everyone's surprise, He Hongyang stopped directly on the side of the road.
After parking my bicycle.
"Should you speak first or should I?"
"Let me start by saying why Sha Zhu has been ignoring me these past few days. When I went to get food, the portion he gave me was less than half the portion others received."
"No matter what, I'm his girlfriend, why is he treating me like this?"
"Is it because you disagree with our relationship?"
"Now we have freedom to love, and marriage is no longer a matter of parents' orders and matchmakers' words, but is in our own hands."
"Although you are his older brother, you have no right to interfere in our affairs."
She had a very convincing explanation.
She even described herself as Sha Zhu's girlfriend.
I never imagined that even the factory's most beautiful girl could have a moment of unrequited love.
She thought that as long as she was willing, Sha Zhu would eagerly become her boyfriend.
I don't know.
He doesn't even want a second-hand item!
"I'm going to ask you something, and you have to answer truthfully."
"Go ahead and tell me, I'm not one to lie."
Have you been with other men?
When Yu Haitang heard him ask that, she opened her mouth in shock.
He's Sha Zhu's older brother, why would he ask such a question?
Could it be that Sha Zhu made him ask that question?
Did he find out about her and Xu Damao?
Could it be that Xu Damao said it?
will not!
Xu Damao is quite clever in this regard; he won't go around spreading rumors.
Yu Haitang felt a little flustered.
However, he quickly calmed down.
"Don't you think it's very impolite to ask a girl that question?"
"I'm asking you whether you followed or not?"
She raised her head and said arrogantly, "No! Don't forget, I'm only 18 years old."
"It has nothing to do with age."
"What does that have to do with anything?"
Yu Haitang really doesn't even blush when she lies.
"Don't forget I'm a doctor, I can tell at a glance."
Yu Haitang panicked again.
She knew that He Hongyang was a highly skilled doctor.
But I quickly calmed myself down.
I've never heard of any doctor knowing this.
"Anyway, I don't have any, believe it or not."
She's still being stubborn.
He Hongyang said sternly.
"Don't think I don't know about your affair with Xu Damao. I heard everything you said to him in my cellar."
"You're just after Sha Zhu because he's from the He family, has a salary, and owns a house, and you want to take advantage of him, right?"
"Do you think everyone else is a fool who can be easily confused by your words?"
"Although you are the factory's most beautiful girl, our He family will not marry you, much less let you, a second-hand item, into our family."
Yu Haitang's face flushed red and then turned pale.
He never expected that He Hongyang would expose him on the spot.
He kept referring to himself as a "second-hand item."
Enraged, she simply revealed her true form.
"Don't think I'm afraid of you just because you're a doctor. I did have an affair with Xu Damao, but your brother was willing to help me."
“He even said he would lend me his radio. Maybe he’ll buy me a bicycle once we get to know each other better.”
"Although you are the head of the He family, you are still just his older brother. If Sha Zhu wants to, you can't control him at all!"
He Hongyang sneered.
"If he's willing, then why has he ignored you these past few days?"
"If he's willing, why does he only give you half a meal each time?"
"He already knows about you. He told me to tell you not to bother him anymore, and it's best not to say a word to him when you see him, so that he won't feel disgusted by you."
Yu Haitang was so angry that smoke was practically billowing from her head.
It turns out that Sha Zhu knew everything.
She, the factory's most beautiful girl, had taken such initiative, yet she was still rejected by Sha Zhu!
Hearing He Hongyang criticize him like that.
Her eyes were red.
"Your family is just a little better off, right? Sha Zhu only earns 30 yuan a month. Does he own a house? If I wanted to find someone like him, I could find a lot of men like him."
"I will never bother him again. You should also tell him that losing me is his loss!"
"Let him remain a bachelor for life; I doubt any woman will ever be interested in him!"
He Hongyang said without any politeness.
"Don't worry, his future woman will definitely be prettier and more capable than you, and her family background will be better than yours."
"Shazhu won't stay single, and he certainly won't marry a second-hand woman like you."
"The fact that you're now considered secondhand has probably already spread throughout the factory, so no one will ever pursue you again!"
Yu Haitang panicked completely.
"Did you tell the truth? Did you reveal my affair with Xu Damao?"
"There are no secrets in this world. Everyone at the steel mill treats me with utmost respect. How dare you be so arrogant? You deserve it!"
"If you continue to be arrogant and dare to bother my brother again, I'll make sure you lose your job at the radio station!"
158. Qin Huairu was hungry and asked for food.
Yu Haitang knew that he absolutely meant what he said.
He immediately shut his mouth and dared not say another word!
The following spring, just as He Hongyang had predicted, the rationing began to decrease, and people lined up to buy grain at the grain store every day.
But even so.
It's simply not enough for a family of several people.
Like a traditional courtyard house.
When only one person in the family works, it is even more difficult to make a living.
Although Yan Bugui's family has many members.
Fortunately, his eldest son, Yan Jiecheng, has already found a job.
The three older women also work temporary jobs outside.
Life is going alright.
The Jia family was different.
Originally, only Jia Dongxu worked there.
There was no quota for Jia Zhangshi and Qin Huairu.
They would go to the suburbs to dig for wild vegetables before dawn.
But wild vegetables aren't available every day.
Even when eating wild vegetables, you have to eat them with some cornmeal and wheat flour.
Their family has run out of cornmeal!
Qin Huairu and Jia Dongxu argue every day.
I want financial support from my parents in the countryside.
But life in rural areas is even harder now.
She could only watch the He family longingly.
I hope He Hongyang can take pity on me.
Look, He Hongyang is going to the vegetable cellar to get some vegetables.
I followed quietly behind them.
Seeing that no one was around, they followed him into the vegetable cellar.
They immediately covered his eyes.
"Guess who I am?"
Do I even need to guess?
It must be Qin Huairu's item.
"Take 371's hand away. 729, who told 119 to come here?"
Luckily, the dishes were placed at the very back, otherwise she would have seen them.
"Ever since your mother-in-law came and stayed here, I haven't had a chance to visit your home."
"I only came here because I missed you."
He hugged He Hongyang and covered his stomach.
"My stomach is growling loudly, could you give me something to eat?"
The Jia family is now dirt poor.
Giving her a meal or two would be fine, but I'm afraid Qin Huairu will pester him and make him support her all the time.
He didn't say anything.
