Get something in the courtyard

Lou Xiao'e sat in the courtyard for a while, asked Wang Kun's address, and then left. Although she left, the discussion about her did not stop.

The ones I envy the most are Yan Bugui and his wife.

The third aunt said, "Lou Xiao'e has been gone for more than ten years!"

Yan Bugui said, "Isn't it? He left in 1966, and now it's 1982. If you count carefully, it's already been 16 years."

"Yes, the way she's dressed, you can tell at a glance that she's not an ordinary person. I wonder where she's been hiding all these years? Old man, you said she's been gone for so many years, why did she come back this time?" asked the third aunt.

Yan Bugui had a vague guess in his mind and said, "I guess she came to look for Wang Kun. Didn't you see that when she entered the yard, she went to Wang Kun's house first?"

The third aunt was stunned for a moment, then continued, "He wouldn't want to rekindle his old relationship with Wang Kun! Wang Kun has already married a wife."

Yan Bugui interrupted her quickly: "We can just talk about these things. Don't go out and say anything. Wang Kun is not easy to mess with now. I read the newspaper recently and I know that they have arrested a lot of people in the bureau."

The third aunt nodded repeatedly, saying that she would not tell anyone. But within a few days, rumors about Wang Kun and Lou Xiao'e spread in the courtyard. Everyone knew whether the third aunt had contributed to this.

At the Intermediate Court, Yi Zhonghai heard the news about Lou Xiaoe, and a trace of fear flashed in his eyes. He had brought people to deal with the Lou family back then. It was likely that someone would tell Lou Xiaoe about this.

At the beginning, he had been working for the Lou family and was very familiar with the Lou family's methods.

Qin Huairu noticed that something was wrong with Yi Zhonghai and asked, "Uncle, what's wrong with you?"

Yi Zhonghai sighed: "Nothing. Huairu, what do you think Lou Xiaoe is doing back?"

Qin Huairu said directly: "What else could it be? Most likely you came back to look for Wang Kun. Uncle, you are not going to cause trouble for Wang Kun, are you?"

Yi Zhonghai shook his head. It was true that he hated Wang Kun, but he knew in his heart that he couldn't afford to offend Wang Kun. Wang Kun had already moved out, and he didn't want to feel uncomfortable.

Seeing Yi Zhonghai remained silent, Qin Huairu also sighed: "You didn't go out just now and didn't see Lou Xiaoe. She is very famous now. I think her clothes are worth at least one thousand yuan."

Hearing this, Jia Zhang asked curiously, "Is it really worth that much money?"

"Of course it's true. Her clothes are more beautiful than the best clothes in the department store. Those clothes cost hundreds of dollars." Qin Huairu said.

Jia Zhang also sighed: "It would be great if she was willing to help our family. If Lou Xiao'e was willing to help, our lives would be much better."

Not to mention the two widows in the middle yard who were dreaming, those in the back yard were also busy.

The first one was Liu Haizhong's family. He looked puzzled and said, "The Lou family has fled, why are they coming back?"

The second aunt said, "Do you think Lou Xiao'e will take revenge on you when she comes back?"

The hand in Liu Haizhong trembled in fear: "What nonsense are you talking about? Why did she take revenge on me?"

"Didn't you want to deal with her family back then..."

Liu Haizhong said angrily, "What do you mean I wanted to deal with her family back then? They had already run away, and I didn't catch them at all. If she wanted to deal with someone, she should have dealt with Xu Damao.

You know how Xu Damao treated her back then."

After hearing Liu Haizhong's reminder, the second aunt glanced towards Xu Damao's house and said, "You are right. Lou Xiao'e is a rich person now. Who knows how Xu Damao will regret it now."

Xu Damao didn't see Lou Xiao'e, but he knew that Lou Xiao'e was back, and he was very unhappy.

Qin Jingru didn't know this and was still talking about Lou Xiao'e's clothes.

Xu Damao frowned and glared at her: "Can you shut up? Lou Xiao'e is back, what's the big deal? I haven't been short of food or clothes for you all these years, so why do you envy Lou Xiao'e so much?"

Qin Jingru whispered, "I don't mean anything else, I was just saying it casually." "What are you talking about? Those bastards in the cinema wouldn't let me show the movie, and caused me to lose my job, and you don't care at all. You care about that damn Lou Xiaoe." Xu Damao slammed the table.

Seeing Xu Damao was angry, Qin Jingru didn't dare to say anything.

Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li came back with a lot of anger. Without Sha Zhu, the restaurant's business plummeted, and those regular customers never came back after eating there once.

Yu Haitang found out that the dividend this month was much less, so she rushed to the restaurant and asked them if they were playing tricks.

This is an old problem of the Yan family and it cannot be changed.

When she learned that Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li had fired Sha Zhu, she was so angry that she wanted to withdraw her shares and stop being a partner with them.

The two had no choice but to go back to the courtyard and plan to invite Sha Zhu again.

When they arrived at the yard, they found that everyone was whispering to each other and no one responded to them.

"Sister Niu, did anything happen in the yard?"

Niu Qian said, "Nothing, Lou Xiao'e just came back today."

"Lou Xiao'e is back?" the two shouted in surprise.

No one in the hospital cared about it. When others heard that Lou Xiao'e had returned, they all reacted in the same way.

Yu Li wanted to find out more information, but Yan Jiecheng said, "Isn't it just Lou Xiao'e who has returned? It has nothing to do with us. Let's find Sha Zhu first and ask him to go back to the hotel to work. If he returns one day later, we will lose one day."

Niu Qian asked curiously, "What happened to your restaurant?"

The two were too embarrassed to say anything and rushed into the middle courtyard.

Seeing Yi Zhonghai sitting in the yard, he greeted him casually and went straight to Sha Zhu's house.

Qin Huairu looked at the two men and said, "Uncle, will they ask Sha Zhu to go back to work? Let's..."

Yi Zhonghai said helplessly: "Okay, Huairu. Didn't you see Shazhu's attitude? He won't cooperate with us. He is an ungrateful person. But you don't have to worry about him going back. With his bad temper, he will definitely not go back to work at Yu Li's restaurant. Just wait and see if you don't believe me!"

"Hey, how come you two big bosses have time to come to my house." When the doorman saw Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li, Sha Zhu couldn't help but ridiculed them.

Yu Li said awkwardly, "Shazhu, we were wrong about what happened before, okay? We came here specially to invite you this time."

Sha Zhu laughed and said, "No, I'm not worthy of it. You guys should continue to let Fatty cook!"

"Don't. You know Fatty's cooking skills better than us. He can't hold it up at all."

"That has nothing to do with me. A good horse never turns back. I tell you clearly that I will never go back."

Seeing that Sha Zhu refused, Yu Li turned her gaze to Guo Xianghong and said, "Sister-in-law, please help me persuade Sha Zhu. We can give him a raise."

Guo Xianghong didn't look kindly at the two and said directly, "No, we don't need it."

Seeing that neither of them agreed, Yu Li had to compromise: "Shazhu, it's okay if you don't want to go back, but can you tell us the seasoning?"

Sha Zhu stood up and said, "What are you two dreaming about? The seasoning is the secret recipe of my He family, and it has always been passed down to men, not women. How dare you come here and ask me for the seasoning recipe? Get out of here, or I'll throw you out."

Yi Zhonghai heard the noise coming from Sha Zhu's house and said to Qin Huairu, "I knew Sha Zhu wouldn't agree." (End of this chapter)
