Chapter 2

Sooner or later, I will settle this account with him!

Yi Zhonghai had just been gloating and mocking Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye.

Upon hearing these words, his face instantly changed color.

The old couple had no children their entire lives; this was Yi Zhonghai's greatest pain.

As the First Elder of the courtyard and an eighth-grade fitter at the Rolling Steel Factory,

Yi Zhonghai was highly respected.

The term "childless heir" had not been mentioned in many years.

Now, it had been directly shouted by Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye, that sterile man, making him feel utterly shamed!

"Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye!"

"You show no respect to your elders!"

"How dare you speak to the First Elder like that?"

Just then, Yi Zhonghai's number one successor for old-age care—Sha Zhu—appeared.

This fool pointed a finger at Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye, shouting wildly, looking exactly like a panicked pug.

Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye said, "Sha Zhu, although you are a cook, I don't think your ears work very well."

"Which sentence did you hear where I disrespected an elder?"

"Speak louder, so everyone in the courtyard can hear!"

Without thinking, Sha Zhu raised his voice even higher: "Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye, you rascal still dare to deny it!"

"I heard it just now; you called the First Elder a childless heir!"

Childless heir!

These two words were like a thunderclap, exploding over the Sihe Academy.

The First Elder had wanted to stop Sha Zhu, but now it was too late.

Many people in the courtyard were watching the spectacle.

At this moment, looking at Sha Zhu, each one felt nothing but mockery in their hearts.

What a stupid thing.

He had fallen right into Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye's trap.

They had all stretched their necks to watch the fun, yet none had heard Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye say those words directly.

Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye smiled and said, "Sha Zhu, I said your ears were bad, and you wouldn't believe it."

"First Elder, I didn't say those words; it was Sha Zhu who said them."

"You usually treat Sha Zhu like your own son, yet he speaks of you this way."

"So, as expected, those not born of your own flesh are useless."

"You two carry on; I have matters to attend to, so I'll be leaving first."

Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye left the courtyard with a smile.

Sha Zhu had not yet come to his senses and continued shouting: "Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye, you rascal, stop right there!"

"It was you who called the First Elder a childless heir!"

"Everyone here can testify; you were the one who said 'childless heir'!"

"You are sterile yourself, yet you dare to call the First Elder a childless heir!"

"You shameless scoundrel; I think you are the real childless heir!"

Good heavens.

Sha Zhu had become a repeater; the word "childless heir" seemed endless.

Yi Zhonghai was about to burst with rage; he immediately dragged Sha Zhu toward the room: "Sha Zhu!"

"Shut your mouth quickly!"

But Sha Zhu simply could not stop: "First Elder, that kid called you a childless heir; I must vent your anger for you!"

"He is someone dumped by a woman; on what grounds does he call you a childless heir?"

"I think he is the real childless heir!"

It was only after Yi Zhonghai closed the door that Sha Zhu's voice finally diminished considerably.

But the courtyard had already erupted into an uproar.

In the front courtyard, the Third Elder, Yan Yan Yan Yan Bugui, laughed until he bent double: "Hahahaha..."

"That fool Sha Zhu has fallen right into Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye's trap."

In the rear courtyard, the Second Elder, Liu Liu Liu Hai Zhong, was even more delighted: "Yi Zhonghai picked and chose for so long, only to select such a stupid thing for his old-age care."

"Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye deliberately provoked him, yet he didn't even realize it."

"After suffering that shock, this kid Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye has actually become sharp-witted."

Inside Qin Qin Qin Qin Huairu's home in the middle courtyard,

Jia Jia Jia Dongxu, eating a steamed bun made of white flour and drinking egg drop soup, said arrogantly: "Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye actually dared to offend Sha Zhu; I doubt he wants to pass tomorrow's assessment."

Qin Qin Qin Qin Huairu asked, "If Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye fails this assessment, will he be fired?"

Jia Jia Jia Zhang Shi rolled her eyes at her: "Shut up!"

"You are just a rural woman; why ask so many questions?"

"What do you know about anything!"

Qin Qin Qin Qin Huairu fell silent.

She came from the countryside; everything she ate, wore, and relied on came from the Jia family, and even the household registrations of her three children were tied to hers.

It was precisely because of this that Mother Jia and her son Jia Jia Jia Dongxu looked down on her.

They even regretted it, thinking back to those years when they shouldn't have married her just because she was good-looking and the betrothal gift was cheap!

Only after bringing her into the household did they realize they had suffered a massive loss!

If they had married a woman with an urban household registration, how could their family's life have been so difficult!

Jia Jia Jia Dongxu said irritably, "Just wait and see; this Third Third Third Third Time, Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye will definitely get kicked out!"

At this moment.

Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye had already arrived at Pigeon Market.

Other people emptied their family savings to get married.

But the original host was different; he got divorced and ended up with his family savings emptied.

Now he truly had not a penny to his name, unable to produce even a single grain coupon.

But that didn't matter.

He took grain out of the mall to exchange for money.

In this era, the rationed grain supply for every household was limited to a fixed amount each month.

What if it wasn't enough to eat?

The only option was to go to Pigeon Market and buy it at high prices.

For ordinary rationed grain, coarse grains cost five cents per jin, while fine grains cost ten cents per jin.

But Pigeon Market was different.

Coarse grains went directly for twenty cents per jin, and fine grains for fifty cents per jin.

If one had coupons, the price could be slightly lower.

If one had no coupons, then this was the price; take it or leave it!

Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye first took out ten jin of millet; this was a rare item, so he set a fixed price of fifty cents per jin.

Demand far exceeded supply, and in less than ten minutes, he had five yuan in hand.

Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye moved to another spot, exchanging another ten jin of white flour and thirty jin of cornmeal...

By the Third Third Third Third Time he left Pigeon Market, he already had twenty-five yuan and fifty cents in his pocket.

Big shots, please give flowers, tickets, and everything~.

003. Wait for Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye to roll out of the Rolling Steel Mill! (Third Update)

When Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye returned to Sihe Academy, it was already past nine o'clock at night.

He carried several bags in his hands, filled with rice, flour, cooking oil, grains, pots, pans, and bowls.
