Chapter 101: Xu Damao, I'll tell you a secret!

Yu Li came to find Chen Tian to help him with housework.

Chen Tian hadn't eaten much in the cafeteria's private room.

He had mainly been drinking.

"So fragrant."

"This is the first time I've seen such big shrimp," Yu Li said with wide eyes, full of envy.

Chen Tian took out the big shrimp rewarded by the system and stir-fried them.

He also made a portion of twice-cooked pork.

Chen Tian deliberately opened the window, and the fragrance filled the courtyard.

"Mom, Chen Tian is cooking something delicious again!"

"How long has it been since we ate meat at home!"

Liu Guangtian lay at the door, stretching his neck.

"You good-for-nothing, he's a Level 3 Engineer, what are you?"

"You want to compare yourself to Chen Tian?"

Liu Haizhong scolded.

Chen Tian let him be responsible for parts processing in the workshop, which made Liu Haizhong grateful.

The Deaf Old Lady stood at the door, drooling with greed.

Sha Zhu and Yi Zhonghai hadn't sent her anything delicious for several days.

Chen Tian deliberately opened the window just to anger her.

"Hmph, this heartless little rabbit."

Chen Tian cooked delicious food every day but hadn't sent her any; the Deaf Old Lady was furious.

Seeing Sha Zhu coming with a dark face, the Deaf Old Lady pulled him into the room.

Chen Tian stood by the window, watching the Deaf Old Lady's expression, feeling very comfortable.

Chen Tian had no good feelings toward the Deaf Old Lady.

This old hag only knew how to favor Sha Zhu and gave Sha Zhu and Yi Zhonghai evil ideas, wanting the two to unite to pit themselves against him.

"Heh, I'll starve you to death, you old thing."

Chen Tian turned around and happily started eating the big meal with Yu Li.

Chen Tian also took out a bottle of wine and had a few small drinks with Yu Li.

At Yan Bugui's house, Yu Li had never drunk wine.

Wine was so expensive; Yan Bugui couldn't bear to drink it, let alone give it to his children.

"Yu Li has become rounder these past two days."

Chen Tian looked at the graceful Yu Li; this was all his credit.

"Brother Zhuzi, this Chen Tian is really not a human being."

"He's doing this deliberately to show me."

"Even Yan Bugui's eldest daughter-in-law is sponging meals at his house every day, and he doesn't know to send some to me, this old woman!"

The Deaf Old Lady was so angry that smoke was coming out of her seven orifices, and she kept tapping the floor with her cane.

"Brother Zhuzi, did he take away the recipe your father left you?" Sha Zhu nodded with a dark face.

"This bastard is truly a pest!"

"Ever since he returned to this courtyard, we haven't had a good day!" The Deaf Old Lady rubbed her stomach.

"My good grandson, Grandma hasn't seen meat for several days; make Grandma something delicious."

"Okay, Grandma, I'll buy you meat tomorrow."

Sha Zhu could barely make ends meet himself, but since the Deaf Old Lady had spoken, he couldn't refuse.

Now, he had become an intern, his salary was lower, and he could no longer eat his fill in the cafeteria before going home, nor could he bring home lunch boxes.

If it weren't for Yi Zhonghai giving him 1000 yuan, Sha Zhu would have to drink the northwest wind today.

"Brother Zhuzi, don't you often cook for the factory leaders? Aren't you on good terms with them?"

"Go to the factory and report this bastard Chen Tian, let the factory deal with him."

"I don't believe there's no rule of law."

The Deaf Old Lady cursed and swore.

She had no grudges against Chen Tian; the reason she was so hostile toward him was all because of Sha Zhu.

Whoever went against Sha Zhu, the Deaf Old Lady would definitely step in.

Xu Damao, Yan Jiecheng, Liu Guangtian, and the young men of similar age in the courtyard—as long as they had a conflict with Sha Zhu, the Deaf Old Lady would favor Sha Zhu regardless of right or wrong.

Sha Zhu could hit people, but others couldn't scold Sha Zhu.

This was the Deaf Old Lady's principle of conduct.

Sha Zhu felt bitter.

"Grandma, the factory leaders are also bastards."

"I don't know what kind of soul-stealing soup Chen Tian fed them; even the Factory Director follows everything Chen Tian says."

"Now, I'm not even a chef; I've become a handyman." Sha Zhu was so angry he was steaming.

Everything he had become was caused by Chen Tian.

Recalling Qin Huairu's attitude toward him just now, Sha Zhu was even more furious.

In the future, it would be impossible for him to touch Qin Huairu's hand again.

Hearing that he couldn't bring home lunch boxes, Qin Huairu ignored him, and Sha Zhu could only smile bitterly.

"What, they won't even let you be a chef?"

The Deaf Old Lady was stunned; Sha Zhu only knew how to cook, and if he wasn't a chef, wouldn't he starve to death?

With his foolish appearance, he wouldn't find a suitable job either.

"Brother Zhuzi, this Chen Tian must be driven out of the courtyard!" The Deaf Old Lady fanned the flames.

"Qin Huairu, did Sha Zhu not bring back a lunch box today?"

At the Jia house, Jia Dongxu looked vicious.

"Sha Zhu was removed from his post; he won't be working in the cafeteria anymore and has gone to work at the steel mill construction site."

"There won't be any more lunch boxes for our family." Qin Huairu was expressionless.

Jia Dongxu was a vampire; together with Widow Jia, they wouldn't stop until they sucked her dry.

"No more lunch boxes for our family?"

"Then what will we eat? Sha Zhu is too much of a loser," Bang Geng said with dissatisfaction.

"Didn't you just eat meat?"

"A big bowl of meat, you ate it all, and your two sisters didn't even get to taste a few pieces."

"Two jin of meat is enough for me to buy ten jin of white flour."

Qin Huairu was somewhat unhappy; Bang Geng was too inconsiderate.

It was all because he was spoiled by Widow Jia; at such a young age, he was already an insidious person.

Bang Geng was simply a rice bucket.

Hearing this, Jia Dongxu was furious.

"Qin Huairu, you loser!"

"What's wrong with my son wanting to eat something good? Isn't it just eating a few pieces of meat?"

"You borrowed 5 yuan yesterday; just go borrow more today!"

Influenced by Widow Jia, Bang Geng felt that his two sisters were money-losing goods, and the good things in the house should be his.

"That's right, Sha Zhu is a loser; if he can't bring back lunch boxes, you have to find a way!"

"I want to eat meat and white flour buns every day!"

"If you can't buy meat back, it means you have no ability, you're a loser!" Qin Huairu was stunned; Bang Geng was actually calling her a loser just to eat meat.
