Get something in the courtyard

The atmosphere in the courtyard was pretty good at this time.

In fact, Sha Zhu's resentment towards He Daqing had almost disappeared a long time ago. However, he just couldn't bring himself to do it, and he never bowed his head.

Under Guo Xianghong's persuasion, the father and son did not quarrel or get too close, which made Xu Damao, Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu very disappointed.

Xu Damao simply wanted to cause trouble for Sha Zhu, so he served He Daqing attentively. But how could his little tricks be hidden from He Daqing?

The reason why the deaf old lady and Yi Zhonghai were able to use clumsy means to get rid of He Daqing was because He Daqing was greedy for the White Widow's body.

As for Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu, it was even simpler. Guo Xianghong had a good attitude towards He Daqing and was a very filial daughter-in-law. As long as Sha Zhu was unwilling to accept He Daqing, they could use this to deceive Sha Zhu.

They are very confident in their ability to fool Sha Zhu. They were able to fool Sha Zhu back then, and they can do it again now.

Yi Zhonghai had not forgotten that he had been saying bad things about He Daqing to Sha Zhu for more than ten years. Sha Zhu was not very tolerant and would remember a small grudge for decades.

He obviously forgot that Sha Zhu and He Daqing had an inseparable blood relationship. As long as He Daqing did not go too far, the father and son would never fall out completely.

Widow Li kept trying to please Guo Xianghong for her son and kept saying good things about He Daqing, saying that He Daqing was also deceived by Widow Bai and that Widow Bai seduced other men behind He Daqing's back.

Sha Zhu looked at He Daqing like a fool. What he meant was, how could you be so useless that you let your own wife cheat on you.

This made He Daqing very angry, and he hit him on the head: "What are you looking at?"

Sha Zhu is not a person who will suffer any loss. Even though he was fooled by the deaf old lady and Yi Zhonghai back then, he didn't even suffer any loss when facing the two of them, let alone He Daqing.

"What are you looking at? I don't know what's so good about the White Widow that you would run over to her and get her help."

He Daqing was also a scoundrel. Hearing this, he said bluntly, "You are no better than me. If it weren't for your sister, you would still be working for that widow out there. At least I still have a child. What about you? Like Yi Zhonghai, you are probably a childless person."

Xu Damao showed a resentful look and said, "You father and son are quarreling, why are you mocking me?"

Of course Sha Zhu would not admit it and retorted: "Nonsense. I will not help her."

He Daqing looked at him with disdain.

Sha Zhu was so angry that he wanted to die, but he couldn't refute it. The fact that he had licked Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu in the past was known to the whole courtyard, the whole steel mill, and even the streets. There was no way to refute this.

Liu Haizhong stopped the two and said, "Okay, Lao He, Sha Zhu, you and your son just met, stop arguing. That's all in the past, there's no need to bring it up again."

Seeing that the atmosphere between the father and son had eased under Liu Haizhong's persuasion, Xu Damao became unhappy.

He is Sha Zhu's mortal enemy. What is a mortal enemy? It means that he cannot stand seeing the other person living a better life, even the slightest bit.

Xu Damao said, "Shazhu, you are too unfilial. When you were facing Yi Zhonghai before, you did whatever he said. You always kept saying that there is nothing wrong with elders.

Now that Uncle He is back, why do you deny what he said? "

Sha Zhu was just having a lot of trouble venting his anger, so he turned to Xu Damao and said, "Grandson, what business do you have here that requires you to show your courtesy?"

How could a dinner party be complete without Yan Bugui, who loved to take advantage of others? He had long been hanging around in the backyard, claiming that he hadn't seen He Daqing for years.

By this time, they had almost finished eating, so they put down their chopsticks: "Xu Damao, Sha Zhu, it's a happy day, so please be quiet. Sha Zhu, do you cook all the dishes in your restaurant? They taste good."

He Daqing snorted, "This little bit of cooking skill can only fool those who don't know how to eat." This made Sha Zhu very angry. The dishes were not cooked by him, but they were all tested by him. If he said the dishes were not delicious, wouldn't it mean that he was not good enough?

"If you have the ability, cook a dish for me to see."

Sha Zhu felt that He Daqing was old and his energy and physical strength were not up to par, so he definitely could not cook as well as him.

Unexpectedly, He Daqing was not afraid at all. He said to He Yuliang who was talking to He Yushui at the side: "Use the vegetables from your second uncle's house to make a dish. Let your silly brother take a good look."

He Yuliang really liked cooking, so he responded and went to the kitchen happily.

He Daqing did not let Sha Zhu go, and taunted him, "You are a brainless person. You were fooled back then, and you didn't even learn the skills. Do you know your master's tricks? Do you know that I told him all the skills passed down from our family in order to make you my apprentice?"

Suddenly hearing He Daqing mention his master, Sha Zhu's face showed a guilty look. He didn't understand his master's painstaking efforts back then, and fell out with him.

By the time he finally understood, he could no longer see his master, and his fellow apprentices ignored him.

Guo Xianghong took him to apologize and was beaten up by his fellow disciples.

Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui shrank their heads quietly when they heard this. They were also involved in the tricking of Sha Zhu. Otherwise, it would be impossible for the deaf old lady and Yi Zhonghai to make Sha Zhu completely turn against his master.

Especially Yan Bugui's family, every time Sha Zhu's fellow apprentices came to see Sha Zhu, they were fooled away by his family. Afterwards, his family could receive one yuan of hard work fee from Yi Zhonghai.

When Sha Zhu had a falling out with his master, Yi Zhonghai accompanied him on the way to work, and Yan Bugui's family blocked his door when he returned to the courtyard after get off work. There was no chance for the master and apprentice to resolve the conflict.

After a while, He Yuliang prepared the dishes and brought them to the table: "Dad, brother, you try it."

He Daqing didn't pick up his chopsticks and let Sha Zhu taste it himself.

Sha Zhu took the chopsticks and took a bite, then put them down expressionlessly. He had been cooking for his whole life, and he could still tell whether something was delicious or not.

When he was the same age as He Yuliang, he didn't have such good skills as He Yuliang. Although it was good, Sha Zhu would not admit it.

He Daqing didn't care about that. He knew that his stupid son couldn't make the decision. He said to Guo Xianghong, "Daughter-in-law, come and try it."

After tasting it, Guo Xianghong said with a smile: "Yuliang's cooking skills are pretty good."

Sha Zhu shouted in dissatisfaction: "Wife."

Guo Xianghong ignored him and asked He Yuliang: "You are talented. You can learn such good cooking skills while studying."

He Yuliang's face immediately fell, and Widow Li's face was not very good either. The main reason was that He Yuliang's academic performance was terrible since he was a child. He always had no other rankings, always first and last.

He Daqing took the opportunity to say, "You all agree. Then can he be an apprentice in the restaurant?"

Hearing this, He Yushui complained, "Dad, how old is he? Why is he an apprentice? Can't he study hard and get into college in the future?"

He Daqing didn't give He Yuliang any face and said directly: "Why are you going to college? This brat is just like Sha Zhu, he falls asleep when he is asked to study. He always ranks last in every exam."

Xu Damao took the opportunity to say, "I remember that Shazhu always ranked last in the exams." (End of this chapter)
