Chapter 671: Qin Jingru's Marriage Turning Point

Liu Yahui saw that He Yuzhu was not doing his proper work every day and was just staring at him, so he felt a bit impatient.

"Factory Director He, I'm not going to eat those people, why are you staring at me every day?" Liu Yahui said with annoyance.

He Yuzhu spoke earnestly: "Xiao Liu, let's have a good talk, shall we?"

Liu Yahui nodded: "I am willing to hear the details."

He Yuzhu did not beat around the bush and got straight to the point: "To tell you the truth, the Tractor Branch Factory is already going to cooperate with the Military Factory and will soon produce Heavy Trucks. You, on the other hand, have detained my core Engineers and won't let them work every day. I've asked for several days, but haven't found out anything. You have to give me a deadline, right?"

Liu Yahui felt a bit embarrassed, thought for a moment, and said: "Give me three more days, I will definitely be able to find out something."

He Yuzhu shook his head: "I could give you ten days, and you still wouldn't find out anything, unless you insist on framing them. If I'm not mistaken, the person you are reporting to is Zhou Hao, right? The two of us have never gotten along, and I won't hide it from you, I am not afraid of him."

Liu Yahui's thoughts raced. He had also heard some things about He Yuzhu, and he secretly calculated that with his own strength, plus Zhou Hao's side, it would likely not be easy to topple He Yuzhu.

But he did not want to leave so dejectedly, so he said casually: "How about you hand over one person, so I have something to report?"

He Yuzhu laughed: "Impossible. If you don't leave by tomorrow, there will be trouble. I'm not scaring you, we are signing the contract with the Military Factory tomorrow, you weigh it yourself."

Liu Yahui stared fixedly at He Yuzhu for a long time, and finally relented: "Alright, I'll listen to you. If I can't get a result tonight, I will withdraw tomorrow."

He Yuzhu sneered: "If you dare to lay a hand on those people, I will not let go of anyone who does."

"I am not that kind of person!" Liu Yahui waved his hands repeatedly.

"Then there will be plenty of Braised Pork today!" He Yuzhu said with a smile.

In the Ninety-five Courtyard, Xu Damao was moving things when he saw an old farmer wearing patched clothes walk into the courtyard. The man was over forty, with a dark complexion, and was looking at him moving with shifty eyes.

Xu Damao was already feeling irritable, so he cursed with annoyance: "Old man, what are you looking at? Whose relative are you?"

The old man blushed after being scolded like that. But he was a Village Chief after all, so he quickly steadied his expression and said: "I know Chen Qingshan. It's the agricultural slack season now, and I want to find some odd jobs in the city. Is there anyone named Chen Qingshan in this courtyard?"

Xu Damao curled his lips: "There is no one named Chen Qingshan, I don't know him, hurry up and leave, don't stay in the courtyard, or you'll be arrested as a vagrant."

The old man's expression sank immediately, then he squeezed out a smile: "Then in this courtyard, is there anyone named He Yuzhu?"

Xu Damao became even more impatient: "There is a bastard named He Yuzhu, you know him? I don't think it's possible for you to know him. He is a big Factory Director now, can a rural person like you climb up to have a connection with him?"

Just as he was speaking, He Yuzhu walked in from outside.

As soon as he saw the old man, he was stunned. The old man was also startled when he saw He Yuzhu.

The old farmer spoke first: "Are you the He family boy?"

He Yuzhu looked him over carefully: "Have you met me?"

"Hey, it's a long story, it happened more than ten years ago. You were only ten-something back then, driving a big car. That time your Siqiang Chen Qingshan got married, I was there and saw you, your appearance hasn't changed!"

"Oh!" He Yuzhu suddenly realized, and hurriedly greeted him, "Come, come, let's go sit in our East Courtyard."

The old man followed He Yuzhu into the East Cross Courtyard, and after sitting down, he introduced himself: "My name is Qin Jianghe, I am Qin Jingru's father, the Village Chief of Qin Family Village. That troublesome girl of mine ran back and said she insisted on marrying someone named Xu Demao. I was worried, so I wanted to come over and see what kind of person this is."

Upon hearing this, He Yuzhu immediately said: "The one you saw just now is named Xu Damao, he is not named Xu Demao, he has no virtue!"

Qin Jianghe laughed upon hearing this: "He is Xu Damao? This kid doesn't look like he has good character."

He Yuzhu said: "Who's to say otherwise. He has been married twice and has even been to jail, did you know that?"

Qin Jianghe shook his head: "I really didn't know about that."

He Yuzhu did not hold anything back: "I am not trying to sabotage him on purpose, this kid is a scoundrel. If your daughter marries him, not only will she have no one to rely on in her old age, she won't be able to have children, and sooner or later she will have to divorce. This bastard is very unfaithful. Back when he helped our factory show movies in the countryside, his conduct was already improper. You haven't heard a word of this? His wife just had a miscarriage, and he was already making a scene to divorce her, turning around to pursue your daughter..."

Qin Jianghe's face turned black instantly: "Then when I go back, even if I have to tie Qin Jingru up, I won't let her marry Xu Damao!"

He Yuzhu hurriedly advised: "In this courtyard, I would support your daughter marrying anyone, but she absolutely cannot marry this kid. Even if he says he will arrange a job for your daughter, you must never agree to it."

Qin Jianghe held He Yuzhu's hand tightly and said gratefully: "Xiao He! Chen Qingshan often mentioned you when he went to our village, it's fortunate I ran into you today!"

He Yuzhu calculated in his heart that in this lifetime, he would not let Xu Damao hold his head up again no matter what.

He thought for a moment and said: "Uncle Jianghe, in my opinion, while your daughter isn't too deep into this, there happens to be a good young man in our courtyard named Wang Shucheng. He went to be a soldier a few years ago and just returned after being demobilized this year. He has a settlement fee in his hands, enough to marry a wife. How about I introduce him to your daughter?"

Qin Jianghe scratched his head, feeling a bit troubled: "Xiao He, but my daughter has already accepted a set of clothes from Xu Damao, said to be worth dozens of yuan."

He Yuzhu waved his hand: "Don't worry about the money, leave it to me. Since you came to find me, I will also arrange your daughter's job; she can go work at the Military Factory's Computer Laboratory, I still have a say over there. However, the Military Factory will need to conduct a political background check on your family."

Upon hearing this, Qin Jianghe grabbed He Yuzhu's hand: "Xiao He! Uncle really thanks you! I didn't expect to have a blessing in disguise!"

He Yuzhu urged: "You must keep an eye on your daughter. If she comes out, you must follow her, Xu Damao is really not a good thing."

Qin Jianghe nodded repeatedly and asked again: "Then can I meet this Wang Shucheng first?"

"Of course you can, let's go, I'll take you there right now."

He Yuzhu led Qin Jianghe directly to the Wang family, called Wang Shucheng out to the courtyard, and said: "Shucheng, this is Uncle Qin. Uncle Qin has a daughter named Qin Jingru, who is pretty and also sensible. You are also an honest kid, so today I want to play matchmaker for you two. How about this, I will treat you both to a meal at my Siqiang's restaurant, so you can sit down and have a good chat."

Qin Jianghe felt a bit embarrassed: "It's making you spend money, how bad that is."

He Yuzhu laughed: "You are a Village Chief, you have helped my Siqiang for so many years, isn't it only right to treat you to a meal!"

When they arrived at the He Ji restaurant, Chen Qingshan was not there.

He Yuzhu asked the waiter to call him, and after about half an hour, Chen Qingshan hurried over.

As soon as he saw Qin Jianghe, he immediately said: "Old friend, why didn't you come directly to me when you came over, but went to find Zhuzi instead?"

Qin Jianghe's face turned a bit red, and he sighed: "Hey, you don't know, that girl of mine is really not sensible, she took a fancy to that Xu Damao in the Ninety-five Courtyard."

Upon hearing this, Chen Qingshan's face changed immediately: "Old friend, you must never let her marry into their family! Do you know? Xu Damao's father wanted to kidnap my eldest daughter back then, and it was the Underground Party Lao Zhou who saved her! Our two families still have a feud!"
