Courtyard House: Starting as an engineer, crushing a yard full of poultry

"Zhu Zi, what happened to you? Did you fall into the latrine? Why do you smell so bad?"

Qin Huairu forced herself to remain calm and spoke gently.

"Hey, don't mention this. It makes me angry. It's all because those factory leaders don't like me. Last time I saw through their plan and thwarted their scheme, so they punished me by making me clean the toilets. Those dry toilets are just too smelly."

He Yuzhu complained a couple of times.

"Sigh, this is all my fault. It's all because of you that I've ended up like this. It's all my fault."

Qin Huairu said, feigning self-reproach.

When He Yuzhu saw Qin Huairu's pitiful appearance, his sycophantic heart immediately boiled over.

"How can you blame yourself, Sister Qin? It's all because of them. Once I find a better place, I'll quit this job at the steel mill and never put up with their bullying again."

He Yuzhu said firmly.

"Don't say that. At least you have a salary at the steel mill. But now, I'm all alone and helpless. I have two mouths to feed at home. I can barely survive."

Qin Huairu looked utterly exhausted.

“Sister, if you have any difficulties at home, just tell me. I will help if I can. I still have some savings. It's all my fault. I'm incompetent. If I had any real skills, they wouldn't have driven you away like this.”

He Yuzhu said with self-reproach.

Qin Huairu was overjoyed to see He Yuzhu like this. Dealing with such a sycophant was a piece of cake.

In just a few words, He Yuzhu had already taken the bait he had set.

Since they couldn't make much money outside, they decided to leech off He Yuzhu.

Anyway, He Yuzhu has money now, and his father is still alive. If all else fails, He Yuzhu can ask his father for money.

In short, the family's life cannot deteriorate drastically.

“I’ve found a temporary job outside, which only pays ten yuan a month. I’m afraid it will be difficult to support my two children. Zhuzi, if you really want to help me, then lend me some money. It doesn’t matter if we suffer a little, but the children can’t be burdened.”

Qin Huairu spoke with deep affection.

That little expression made He Yuzhu blush.

Such an expression is extremely rare, especially for a sycophant like He Yuzhu.

That was simply a gift from heaven.

·· ·····Requesting flowers·· ·

Without saying a word, He Yuzhu put the clothes outside and turned back into the room.

He pulled out two ten-yuan bills from under his bed and looked around the house.

I took out the two pounds of wheat flour and two pounds of corn flour that I had just bought.

"Sister Qin, my salary has also been suspended. This is some of my savings, just twenty yuan. My children at home can't suffer because of this. Please take this. Don't ask me to lend it to you. If you have any difficulties in the future, just tell me directly."

He Yuzhu waved his hand, as if he were tipping a female live streamer.

They completely disregarded how they would survive after giving away the money and the goods.

All I know is that Qin Huairu is doing very well now, and seeing her makes me feel extremely satisfied.

.... ........ .......

This might be the ultimate level of being a simp!

"Zhu Zi, you're the only one in this courtyard who would help me like this. I'll remember all your kindness. Don't be so polite with me. From now on, just bring your clothes to the door after you've changed them, and I'll wash them for you when I have time."

Qin Huairu smiled and accepted the items.

To deal with a sycophant like He Yuzhu, you should act aloof in normal times and appear helpless in difficult situations.

With a couple of cute emojis added, He Yuzhu readily handed over all the items.

This food and money is enough to feed the children in the family for more than a month.

Although the quality may not be as high as before, at least we won't go hungry.

Especially this twenty yuan, which is equivalent to two months' wages as a temporary worker.

This is just the beginning; the blood drawn from He Yuzhu is definitely not limited to this.

It's just that my salary has been suspended, not that it's gone forever. When He Yuzhu gets his salary back, he'll continue to ask for it.

He could easily have He Yuzhu completely under his control.

He Yuzhu was still reminiscing about the tenderness Qin Huairu had shown him when she took the things earlier.

His face was all smiles, like that of a fool.

"It's getting late, so I'll go back and rest now. Leave your clothes in the room, and I'll wash them for you when I get off work tomorrow."

After Qin Huairu finished speaking, she took her things and went back into the house.

Only one person remained, still grinning foolishly and licking his boots.

Chapter 196 He Yushui is on vacation

With the crowing of a rooster, a new day begins.

Everyone is working hard on the last day of the week, and tomorrow and the day after are the weekend, so they can have a good rest.

Everyone was very motivated today. After breakfast, they rushed to their workplaces.

Today is the winter break for He Yushui's school.

After a brief meeting in the morning, the school announced that the holiday was over.

He Yushui was also in high spirits, and returned to the courtyard house after packing her things.

After the holidays, students are no longer allowed to live in the school dormitories, and there is nowhere else to go outside.

He Yushui had no choice but to return to her small house. Seeing that everything was as before, He Yushui felt very at ease and lay on the bed.

Enjoying a rare moment of leisure, this year is also He Yushui's last "487" year before graduation.

After finishing this year's course, there are two paths to choose from: one is to continue learning and pursue further education.

The other option is to go out and work, but for He Yushui, the obvious choice is to continue her studies.

If I get a good score this time, I can go to a good high school in Hong Kong.

The reason for choosing Hong Kong as the destination was that attending high school there would provide opportunities to study abroad at university.

As long as your grades are good enough, you can study abroad.

He Yushui was utterly disappointed in her brother and naturally did not want to have much contact with He Yuzhu in the future.

Her father, on the other hand, was only responsible for raising her until she was eighteen, and they hadn't seen each other once in all these years.

In He Yushui's memory.

Apart from that one time when Li Xiangdong helped him get the living expenses his father sent him every month.

My memory of my father is far too vague.

For He Yushui, studying abroad would be an excellent choice.

He Yushui lay lazily in bed all morning, and by noon, she felt a little hungry.

She went out and bought some vegetables, then returned home and cooked herself a delicious meal.

After finishing her meal, He Yushui continued to review in the afternoon, based on her current score.

It's a bit far to go to high school in Hong Kong, but not by much.

With a little more effort, there is still a very good chance.

Time flew by and it was already afternoon. People who were working outside gradually returned home.

Enjoying the happiness that the weekend brings.

As expected, He Yuzhu was once again the last person to leave the steel rolling mill.

After cleaning the factory thoroughly, he strolled leisurely towards the courtyard house.

Today, the smell on him was as strong as ever, so strong that even He Yuzhu himself felt a little nauseous.

Back at the courtyard house, everyone stopped paying attention to He Yuzhu because of yesterday's argument.

They were afraid that if this silly Zhu were to hit someone, they would be the ones to suffer in the end.

He Yuzhu glanced over and saw that the lights in the room next door were on, which made him a little curious.

That house is where my younger sister lives. She usually doesn't come back on Saturdays and Sundays.

He Yuzhu tiptoed to the front of the house and saw through the crack in the door that his younger sister, He Yushui, had actually returned.

The door creaked open.

"Hey sis, why didn't you tell me you were coming back? If you had told me, I would have gotten you two dishes from the cafeteria and brought them back for you to eat."

He Yuzhu's face was beaming with smiles; the wrinkles on his face were so deep they could trap a mosquito.

"Ugh, bro, where have you been? You smell awful! Get out of the room right now, go back and wash up before you come back, it really stinks."

The sudden stench made He Yushui feel dizzy; the smell was just too strong.

Even the stones in the school toilets probably don't smell this bad!
