Courtyard House: My Wife is Xu Huizhen

Page 559

Jiang Hanyang got back into the car and said, "Let's figure out a solution ourselves."

“I asked my family before, and they said it’s impossible to get more than 3000 kilograms of grain.”

Jiang Hanyang said, "Even if we find He Yuzhu, he certainly won't agree to continue providing food."

Geng Feiyan knew that He Yuzhu wouldn't help her, but she was still a little unwilling to give up until she could find him.

The two returned to the machinery factory by car. Geng Feiyan arranged for two people to keep watch at He Yuzhu's door, determined that He Yuzhu would come home.

A moment later, Jiang Hui came over, chatted with her for a few minutes, and then learned about the food shortage.

"Isn't there a solution?"

Jiang Han sighed, "With food so scarce right now, and it's not like we're getting 100 or 200 jin at a time, where are we going to get 3000 jin of grain?"

Geng Feiyan thought further ahead: "We've had extra food supplies before, so even if that solves this crisis, where will we get food next month?"

The situation is now quite clear: He Yuzhu provides a batch of grain every month, and although I have connections and abilities, several thousand kilograms of grain is beyond my capacity.

I never imagined that He Yuzhu had such great power to obtain such a large amount of grain.

This made people suspicious of He Yuzhu's background. Did he also have a powerful backer?

Is it information that the family did not have? Could it be that the plan to target the machinery factory and take it away from He Yuzhu was wrong in itself?

Looking at her brother who was at a loss, Jiang Hui suddenly had an idea: what would happen if she went to ask He Yuzhu for help?

Isn't he just lusting after his own body?

If I can use my own body to help my brother solve the problems at the machinery factory and successfully take over the factory, then I can say that I have done right by my brother.

The Jiang family was originally an ordinary family. If it weren't for the eldest brother, Jiang Hanyang, having excellent academic performance and successfully marrying Geng Feiyan, the Jiang family would be nothing.

Jiang Hui's first thought was to sacrifice her own health to help her older brother get through this difficult time.

After all, He Yuzhu had been lusting after her body for a long time, and using this as a bargaining chip might be a way to beg him to let her brother go this time.

Jiang Hanyang never expected his sister to have such thoughts. After chatting for a few minutes and confirming that there was no other way, he had no choice but to return to the street.

Since He Yuzhu stopped coming to work, Jiang Hui had nothing to do. After returning to her office, she packed her things, grabbed her bag, and went out.

She rode her bicycle into the city, knowing that Lou Xiao'e was still taking classes at the Cultural Palace, and that He Yuzhu would still try to seduce Lou Xiao'e if he had time.

I was foolish enough to believe Lou Xiao'e when she said that she and He Yuzhu had no affair.

But later, Jiang Hui realized that the two of them must have been having an affair all along, but Lou Xiao'e just hadn't admitted it.

I waited near the Cultural Palace until after 11 o'clock, and sure enough, He Yuzhu arrived in a Jeep.

As soon as I parked my bicycle on the side of the road, Jiang Hui pushed it over to me.

He knocked on the driver's side window, turned around, and saw that it was Jiang Hui.

He quickly opened the door and came downstairs, asking, "What are you doing here?"

"Why can't I come here? I've come to find Lou Xiao'e."

"Why are you looking for him? Didn't you two have a fight?" He Yuzhu asked.

Jiang Hui said angrily:

"Hehe, of course I want to find Lou Xiao'e. She told me that you were an unmarried first-class cook working in the steel mill. I just want to ask her why she lied."

He Yuzhu was immediately extremely embarrassed. Although he hadn't asked Lou Xiao'e to say that, the cause wasn't important; the result was what mattered most.

Lou Xiao'e concealed her marital status, which is why Jiang Hui fell for her. In fact, Lou Xiao'e lied to her best friend.

Now that He Yuzhu knows, we can't let Jiang Hui go to Lou Xiao'e right away.

"Hui'er, let me explain."

"What's there to explain?" Jiang Hui said angrily.

"Um... how about we find somewhere to talk?"

Jiang Hui was genuinely looking for He Yuzhu today; settling scores with Lou Xiao'e was just an excuse. After hearing He Yuzhu's words, she nodded.

The jeep has two hooks at the back, so you can hang the bicycle on them and drive forward with Jiang Hui in tow.

"Let's go to that courtyard, it's quiet. I don't want to go to any restaurants."

He Yuzhu nodded and said, "Then I'll go to the store in front and buy some food so we can heat it up before we eat."

Jiang Hui said, "Whatever."

He Yuzhu parked his car in front of a restaurant and went inside to buy a serving of braised pork and a serving of stewed mutton.

I packed it in a lunchbox and brought it back to that courtyard.

When Jiang Hui walked in, she had mixed feelings. If it hadn't been for the fire at her neighbor's house that day, she would have unknowingly become He Yuzhu's woman.

Originally, the two were to accept their fates and have no further contact, but no one could have imagined that they would be the ones to come to each other today.

He Yuzhu first lit the fire, then heated the food on the stove.

He Yuzhu placed the wine on the kang table and asked, "Would you like some wine?"

Jiang Hui said, "Let's have a bottle of wine."

He Yuzhu was somewhat surprised. What was wrong with Jiang Hui today?

She took the initiative to come to me, and at first I didn't understand what she was up to.

At this point, he understood what was wrong with Jiang Huizhun that led her to come to him.

As for the matter of Lou Xiao'e that I just mentioned, so much time has passed, why would she come looking for her today?

It's probably just an excuse for him, otherwise he wouldn't have specified that he wanted to come to the courtyard instead of talking in a private room at the restaurant.

After drinking two glasses of wine, He Yuzhu asked, "Were you bullied at home?"

In his mind, that was the most that could happen; there was no one in the machine factory who was bullying her.

Jiang Hui shook her head and said, "No."

"So, someone at the factory is bullying you?"

Jiang Hui shook her head again.

"Who bullied you?"

"Don't you know your place? You're the only one who can bully me."

He Yuzhu said awkwardly, "It's been so long, why are you bringing this up again?"

Jiang Hui rolled her eyes at him: "Do I need to tell you what you did? It's only been two days!"

"Oh? You mean the food issue?"

He Yuzhu was somewhat surprised that Jiang Hui had come to him because of this matter.

Jiang Hui asked, "Why are you going against my brother?"

"I say, are all members of the Jiang family this unreasonable?"

"You're being unreasonable! You big liar and bad guy!" Jiang Hui said angrily.

"Can we talk this out calmly? Let's not mix these two things together."

He Yuzhu said, "What I did before was wrong and I apologized to you, but it has nothing to do with this."

Jiang Hui asked with a smile, "Then shall we talk about what happened before?"

"What's there to say? I'm sorry, but in the end I didn't do anything to you."

"If our neighbor's house hadn't caught fire that day, what would things be like now?"

He Yuzhu couldn't answer Jiang Hui's question, of course. If it weren't for the accident that day, Jiang Hui could have arranged the objects into whatever shape she wanted.

Looking at Jiang Hui, whose originally fair face was now flushed, her bright eyes were somewhat dazed.

"you're drunk."

"I'm not drunk, tell me?"

He Yuzhu knew, of course, that Jiang Hui wasn't drunk; she just didn't want to answer, so he pretended she was.

"Okay, if you don't want to talk about this, then let's not. Let's talk about the food."

"You came to me about the food?"

"He Yuzhu, why are you going against my brother?"

Why don't you say that they're working against me?

“My brother will soon be the head of the neighborhood committee, so of course he has the right to appoint people to manage the machinery factory.”

"But after that, will it still be a collective enterprise?"

"How could it not be? You won't pay a single penny less."

"Heh, you think that just because it's in the hands of the Geng family, it's still collective property?"

He Yuzhu had long understood that the machinery factory could be handed over to anyone but not to these families.

Although the Geng family has not yet accepted it, he can already foresee what the future will be like.

The machinery factory is no longer a small factory; it already has 6000 workers. Originally, He Yuzhu planned to gradually expand its scale after 62.
