Chapter 421

~6 min read 1,175 words

"Lu Jianye, you stinky kid, what's there to be proud of!"

"If I were still at the Rolling Mill, how could that position of cafeteria director have fallen to you?"

Although Sha Zhu could earn one or two yuan a day now, earning about thirty yuan a month.

This was about the same as what he earned at the Rolling Mill back then.

But this couldn't compare to his life before.

Sha Zhu was tired every day, and he especially missed the days when he was the head chef at the Rolling Mill.

"Life was really good back then; I could eat three meals a day at the cafeteria, which saved the family a lot of food."

"I was really stupid back then, actually racking my brains every day to bring lunch boxes to Qin Huairu!"

"Qin Huairu is nothing; she didn't deserve to eat the lunch boxes I brought home!"

Thinking of Qin Huairu, Sha Zhu became angrier and angrier.

. 5

He thought of his biological sister He Yushui again.

"It's normal for He Yushui to be angry; back then, I basically never gave her any of the lunch boxes I brought home."

"But she's going too far now, not even caring about her own father."

"I won't care about this sister anymore either."

"If she gets bullied at her husband's house, I won't care!"

Sha Zhu started scavenging for scraps; he had to earn two yuan today to surpass Lu Jianye!

At this time, He Yushui was at home.

She was in a very bad mood and didn't even want to eat.

Bai Jianbang persuaded her, "Wife, don't be angry; every time He Great Qing comes, we'll drive him away."

"We're living better than him; let him regret it, we won!"

Bai Jianbang specifically said he wanted to eat grilled fish.

This would make He Great Qing crave it.

He Great Qing had definitely never eaten such delicious food, and he would definitely target their house.

This was Bai Jianbang's plan.

He Yushui nodded, and after eating, she went to the backyard to find Bai Lu Si.

Bai Jianbang was home alone.

Having just moved in, there were still many things to tidy up, so he tidied the house slowly by himself.

There wasn't much grilled fish left, so he left it on the table and left the door open.

250. He Yushui's filial piety is powerful! Sending her own father to eat lead!

He Great Qing was kicked out by He Yushui, and several people in the courtyard saw it.

"He Yushui is going a bit too far; even if they severed ties, blood relations can't be severed. She's not short of that bite of food."

"I said long ago that He Great Qing had bad intentions; look, I was right."

"He's a selfish person; back then, he could abandon his own children for a widow, so what wouldn't he do now!"

"Don't underestimate people; maybe He Great Qing will learn from Bang Geng and steal chickens!"

"You're really right about that; people like this must have stolen plenty of things outside, otherwise how would he survive?"

Several aunties gathered together, gossiping vigorously.

He Great Qing had fallen asleep, but because he was truly unwilling, he woke up not long after.

"No, the taste of that grilled fish was really too fragrant; I'm a chef, I have to get it back and study it properly!"

He Great Qing sat up with a start.

He Yushui's family had such a big grilled fish; the couple definitely couldn't finish it.

Now she had gone to the backyard to find Bai Lu Si, Bai Jianbang was home alone, and the door was still open.

Once Bai Jianbang went out later, he would go and take it back.

He Great Qing made up his mind and sat by the window, staring.

At the same time.

Several aunties were also sitting at their doors, staring at He Great Qing.

Liang Ladi was going to work, and hearing what these people said, the corners of her mouth curled up.

He Great Qing was courting death, going to He Yushui's house to steal things; the Lu Jianye couple would definitely call the police!

When they caught him and put him inside for eight or ten years, she wouldn't have to provide for his old age anymore.

Liang Ladi was currently working at the Fifth Rolling Mill; the factory's efficiency wasn't as good as the Red Star Rolling Mill, and it might go bankrupt any day.

But she would work as long as she could; one day of work meant one day of salary, she didn't care about anything else.

Supplies were scarce in this era, and people in the Si Jiucheng were going hungry.

If she lost her salary, she'd really have to drink the northwest wind.

Liang Ladi was very jealous of Lu Jianye now.

That stinky kid looked delicate, but she didn't expect him to be doing so well at the Rolling Mill, actually becoming the cafeteria director.

That was a lucrative position!

No wonder their family didn't worry about food and drink, often eating meat, and there was plenty of oil.

If she could also...

Sigh!

Liang Ladi sighed.

She once fancied a chef at her own factory.

But that chef was now with the factory doctor, and she had no chance at all.

And she was married too...

Forget it.

This was her fate.

She couldn't compete!

At this time.

Red Star Rolling Mill.

Lu Jianye was holding a meeting with the cafeteria staff.

Recently, the factory had closed several more workshops.

Supplies were truly too scarce; the workers couldn't eat, so they had no strength to work.

The factory's efficiency was poor anyway, so it was better to let some workers who were slacking off go home.

The number of workers in the factory had dropped by several thousand, so the cafeteria staff seemed redundant.

Lu Jianye told those who were lazy to go home and wait.

When the Rolling Mill recruited people again, he would let them come back to work.

This included Xiao Pang; this Xiao Pang was usually glib and not loyal at all.

Lu Jianye had long found him an eyesore and took this opportunity to send him away.

Xiao Pang was very unhappy and was still cursing when he left.

"Pah, what's so great about the Rolling Mill!"

"I, Xiao Pang, won't starve to death just because I left the steel mill!"

Xiao Pang already knew that Lu Jianye didn't like him.

Compared to him, Lu Jianye liked Ma Hua more.

Sure enough.

This time, Ma Hua wasn't fired and was still serving as a chef in the cafeteria.

Xiao Pang didn't think about the fact that he was fired because he was glib and didn't work hard.

Ma Hua was already a third-level chef, while Xiao Pang was still just an apprentice.

The knowledge Lu Jianye taught them was the same.

But Xiao Pang didn't study seriously at all, and he blamed Lu Jianye for not liking him.
