11. Sever ties

Silly Zhu was so angry that his face was livid, and he rushed towards He Yuyu angrily: "If you break the sword, I'll beat you to death!"

He had nothing to say to refute He Yuyu. No matter his age, ability, figure or appearance, Silly Zhu was far inferior to Li Yonggen. Since he couldn't talk, he would take action.

He Yuyu had already expected that Sha Zhu was about to attack her, so he quickly hid behind Li Yonggen.

She knew that Si Zhu was no match for Li Yonggen in a fight, otherwise she would not have rashly angered Si Zhu.

Seeing this, Silly Zhu frowned: "Li, get out of my way. I'll teach my sister a lesson and it has nothing to do with you."

His injuries haven't healed yet, so he doesn't dare to fight Li Yonggen again.

"He Yuzhu, you have the nerve to say that I am your sister here. If you don't know, you think you and Qin Huairu are the same family!"

Just as Li Yonggen was about to say something, he heard He Yuyu sneer behind him: "Nine times out of ten, those lunch boxes I brought were given to them. When have you ever considered me? Who in their family doesn't eat better than me? You have

Who are you qualified to teach me a lesson?"

Anyway, He Yuyu had already broken up with Shazhu, so he didn't mind saying what she had hidden in her heart for many years in public.

After hearing these words, everyone was stunned. It seemed that the truth was exactly what He Yuyu said.

They all knew that most of the lunch boxes that Shazhu brought from the factory cafeteria fell into Qin Huairu's hands. Only then did they realize that He Yuyu was so thin, not because she didn't gain weight, but because she couldn't eat anything nutritious.

.

Everyone looked at He Yuyu with eyes filled with sympathy and feeling sorry for her.

And the look he looked at Silly Zhu seemed a bit contemptuous: He was so mean to his own sister, yet so kind to a widow. It was obvious that there was something wrong in his heart.

Silly Zhu roared angrily: "In these years, I have provided you with food, housing, clothing, and education. Now, do you still have any conscience?"

After a pause, he added: "If it weren't for me, you would have died long ago. How would you have the chance to talk nonsense here? If I had known this, I might as well have had a dog!"

Once the brother and sister fall out, Silly Zhu will no longer be polite and will dare to say any unpleasant things.

"That's nice to say!"

He Yuyu sneered: "Don't think I don't know. After dad left, he sent money to my family every month. My food and school expenses were all given by dad!"

Although she didn't know how much it was, she was sure that her father, He Daqing, sent the money.

Silly Zhu was stunned for a moment: "Since you don't recognize me as your brother, then you don't have to go back to our home again and go wherever you like!"

He didn't know how to refute He Yuyu, so he simply severed the relationship between brother and sister.

"Don't even think about it!"

He Yuyu sneered: "That house belongs to me, what right do you have to prevent me from returning it?"

She is still in school. If she has graduated, has a job, and a place to live, then it doesn't matter if she doesn't want this house.

Silly Zhu was speechless for a moment, snorted and walked away angrily.

He went to the factory to ask for leave early this morning, then bought some things and visited the big leader's house to check out the situation and file a complaint.

What he didn't expect was that the big boss went out for a meeting today and didn't know when he would come back. Silly Zhu waited for a long time and didn't arrive.

After hearing what Sha Zhu said, the big leader's wife asked Sha Zhu to go home and wait for news. She would tell him when the big leader got home and let someone know if there was anything going on.

The big boss likes the dishes cooked by Sha Zhu very much, and every once in a while, he will ask Sha Zhu to cook.

Silly Zhu had no choice but to go home first. As a result, he heard everyone making fun of He Yuyu and Li Yonggen at the door, which led to such a commotion.

Not long after, someone brought a coal stove and briquettes.

Li Yonggen paid the remaining money first, then asked He Yuyu to help light a fire in the coal stove, boil a pot of water, and took the others to move all the briquettes to the kitchen.

With these coals, he will have an easier time this winter.

In less than half an hour, the water boiled.

Li Yonggen asked He Yuyu to call everyone to take a break, drink a cup of hot tea, and warm up.

Everyone is still a little embarrassed. Li Yonggen pays such a high salary and enjoys delicious food and drinks. This is much better than working for most people.

These plasterers are all kind people and don't like to take advantage of others.

Liu Guangtian and others saw that the plasterer was honest, but it was even more difficult for them, the four temporary workers, to eat and drink freely.

If they eat this time and lose the next time, their losses will be great.

Compared with the salary of one yuan a day, these snacks are not so attractive.

When Li Yonggen saw this, he asked He Yuyu to grab a handful for everyone, and asked her to bring some snacks and firecrackers to give to Xiaodang and Huaihua.

In this era, supplies are very scarce, and most people are still struggling for food and clothing.

Snacks are luxuries to them, one of the few sweet treats after hard work, and their desire and hope for a better life, but not everyone can eat them.

Seeing that the hosts were hospitable, everyone did not continue to refuse and accepted the offer happily.

They all thought that they must do a good job. It is rare to find such a good master.

After everyone drank tea, ate something, and went to the toilet, they started working even harder.

Seeing that it was almost noon, Li Yonggen started cooking, washing and chopping vegetables.

As he cooks, the whole yard can smell the fragrant aroma.

The second aunt and the third aunt are very happy. They each have two sons helping with small jobs. They heard that the daily salary is one yuan, and lunch is included. This kind of good thing is something that they would never even dream of.

Others were not in such a good mood. Li Yonggen spent five to six hundred yuan, but they could not even make a dime.

Xiaodang and Huaihua were ecstatic when they got the snacks and firecrackers.

They didn't expect that Li Yonggen not only gave them firecrackers, but also gave them a lot of snacks.

Aunt Ma knew that Shazhu's hand was injured, so she asked him to go to her house for dinner.

Both the uncle and the aunt want to let Shazhu help them take care of their old age in the future. Usually, if anything happens in this courtyard, they will either overtly or covertly help Shazhu.

Hearing that Silly Zhu broke off the relationship with his sister, the eldest mother couldn't help but feel a little worried.

Silly Zhu can even ignore his own sister, so how can he willingly help them take care of them in their old age?

After lunch, during a break, Li Yonggen and five plasterers proposed to knock out all the original stoves and build a new one, and also build a kang bed.

Although it's cold in the north, many people don't have kang beds, mainly because they think it takes a lot of firewood, and burning coal is even more expensive.

Naturally, Li Yonggen would not have no money to spend, and of course he would buy a kang bed so that he could sleep more comfortably in winter.

Since you have the conditions, if you don't enjoy it, isn't there something wrong with your brain?

After He Yuyu washed the dishes and chopsticks, he saw that he had nothing to do with Li Yonggen, so he went home to review.

In one and a half years, she will take the college entrance examination, and she still hopes to get good results.

Li Yonggen had nothing to do in the afternoon, so he rode his bicycle to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some cotton to make cotton-padded clothes and quilts, and also bought some other things.

Food, clothing, clothing, shelter, everything you need is available.

By the time he got home, the plasterers had already built the stove as required. After a few days of work, it would be ready for use.

Li Yonggen is very satisfied with the new stove. The kang bed will be finished tomorrow and the walls will be painted. There is no rush for now.
