Chapter 135 Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong become enemies, Qin Huairu takes the initiative
This was obviously not the first time that Jia Zhang had made such a fuss, and everyone was already accustomed to this scene.

No one took the initiative to persuade him, and everyone even enjoyed watching the joke.

However, the people who had just clashed and wrestled with Jia Zhang, as well as their families, all looked unhappy.

In addition to them, the same is true for the Liu family, especially Liu Haizhong.

This time, a special banquet was held to celebrate his promotion to level 7 worker.

It was supposed to be a show-off, especially since Wang Weiguo cooked such beautiful and delicious dishes, but Jia Zhang happened to come and disrupt the situation.

It was okay if it was just mixed up before the meal started, but it was finally ready when it was almost over. Although there were some minor flaws, I was satisfied with it overall.

Just when everything was about to be perfect, Jia Zhang came out and made a big fuss, and everything was completely ruined.

Just because of a little vegetable soup, Jia Zhang's last-minute interference directly turned the promotion banquet he was hosting today into a joke.

Among the crowd, apart from those who were watching the fun, the one who was the happiest and most delighted was Yi Zhonghai.

The promotion banquet hosted by Liu Haizhong today may be a good thing for others. After all, they can take this opportunity to have a big meal, and it is still a profit even if they have to pay a gift money.

But this is not the case for Yi Zhonghai.

In this steel mill assessment, Yi Zhonghai, who had been confident of success, failed to be promoted to a seventh-level worker and also offended the factory leaders and superiors because of it. This was a thorn in Yi Zhonghai's heart.

It just so happened that at this time, Liu Haizhong was extremely lucky and passed the assessment for level seven workers. He publicized it widely in the courtyard and even held a grand banquet to celebrate, which was tantamount to provoking Yi Zhonghai and rubbing salt into his wounds.

At the same time, Yi Zhonghai was very clear that Liu Haizhong held this promotion banquet largely for himself.

However, as the elder in the courtyard, in order to avoid gossip behind his back, Yi Zhonghai could not refuse to attend. He also had to happily congratulate Liu Haizhong and show his magnanimity and friendliness.

Even though the dishes cooked by Wang Weiguo were delicious, they tasted bitter and sour to Yi Zhonghai.

He used to be so high and mighty, but now he couldn't help but feel jealous of Liu Haizhong.

It was not until Jia Zhang started making trouble, especially the last wave, that the smile on Yi Zhonghai's face became sincere from the bottom of his heart.

For the first time in history, Yi Zhonghai felt that Jia Zhang was not a bad teammate, but his right-hand man.

I understand his thoughts so well.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yi Zhonghai, who had been invisible for the entire morning, stood up, scolded Jia Zhang in person, and quickly calmed her down.

Then, Yi Zhonghai asked the stunned Jia Zhang to apologize, and he, in his capacity as Jia Dongxu's master, paid out of his own pocket to compensate the two people whose soup was stolen with fifty cents each.

Although the soup was delicious, the fifty cents was real money. The two people who benefited from it were in a good mood. Not only did they forgive Jia Zhang on the spot, they also expressed their gratitude to Yi Zhonghai who paid the money.

In this way, Yi Zhonghai not only showed up to give Jia Zhang a way out, but also helped her clean up her mess, and even won the gratitude and praise of others.

With only one dollar as the price, he calmed the situation with thundering means, which not only demonstrated his ability and prestige as a big boss, but also stole the limelight from Liu Haizhong.

One has to admit that after being a big boss for so many years, Yi Zhonghai still has some ability and skill in handling these matters. No wonder he can always suppress Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui.

By the time Liu Haizhong realized belatedly that Yi Zhonghai had stolen his limelight, and was so angry that he wanted to curse, it was too late.

Wang Weiguo, who was watching the fun from the side, took all of this in, and while enjoying the show, he couldn't help but curl his lips.

It was a farce, with a bunch of people watching, and mixed with the secret rivalry between Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong, it was simply too interesting.

Liu Haizhong spent a lot of money and energy to carefully prepare for this promotion banquet, but in the end, not only was it disrupted by Jia Zhang, but Yi Zhonghai also stole the limelight in the end. Liu Haizhong was very angry.

Liu Haizhong even suspected that everything Jia Zhang did today was in collusion with Yi Zhonghai, or even planned and directed by Yi Zhonghai.

It was no wonder that Liu Haizhong had such doubts. After all, everyone knew that Yi Zhonghai was closest to the Jia family, and Jia Dongxu was Yi Zhonghai's apprentice. In addition, including the time when he gave the gift money, the Jia family had made trouble three times in total, and the timing was just right each time.

The key point is that Yi Zhonghai also came out to clean up Jia Zhang's mess, stealing all the limelight from him, and finally left with the Jia family, leaving a mess for him.

It would be hard for Liu Haizhong to believe it if Yi Zhonghai was not involved.

No matter what, Liu Haizhong had a grudge against Yi Zhonghai.

……

Jia family.

Jia Zhang came back angrily with Jia Dongxu and Banggeng.

Even though Yi Zhonghai stepped in to clean up her mess and paid compensation for her family, Jia Zhang thought about it and became more and more angry.

She was the one who was beaten!
In the end, she was the one who apologized and even paid compensation.

Although the money was paid by Yi Zhonghai, it could be used in their family's name, which made Jia Zhang feel very aggrieved.

"Where's Qin Huairu?"

After looking around the room, Jia Zhang found that there were only three of them and she did not see Qin Huairu, so she looked at Jia Dongxu and asked.

Hearing this, Jia Dongxu said uncertainly: "Help outside!"

The lunch meal was over and as guests they could leave, but Qin Huairu went there to help as there was still finishing work to do, such as helping to clean up and return the tables and chairs, or helping to wash the dishes and so on.

"help?"

When Jia Zhang heard this, she was so angry that she said, "The banquet is over. What else can I do to help? I already provided one meal at noon. Can I expect Liu Haizhong to provide another one?"

Jia Zhang was very unhappy.

On the one hand, he was angry that Qin Huairu was honest, stupid, and foolishly helped others do work.

If it were her, she would have run away long ago.

Anyway, the benefits have been taken.

on the other hand.

It was because she had just made a fool of herself in public. Qin Huairu, as her daughter-in-law, was out in public and might be laughed at by others.

It’s not that he felt guilty for implicating Qin Huairu, but he thought that Qin Huairu was a member of the Jia family, and it would be embarrassing to keep her out there, and in the end it would be the Jia family that would lose face.

It was obviously her fault, but Jia Zhang's brain circuit was so surprising, as if the disaster was caused by Qin Huairu. Another point was that when she was "bullied" just now, Liu Haizhong turned a blind eye and did not stop or help her. This made Jia Zhang feel resentful towards Liu Haizhong and she did not want her daughter-in-law to continue to help their family.

Thinking of this, Jia Zhang immediately said to Jia Dongxu: "Dongxu, go and call Qin Huairu back."

"Isn't this bad?"

Jia Dongxu was a little hesitant.

Compared to Jia Zhang, Jia Dongxu, as a man and a member of the younger generation, still has to have some dignity.

Everyone else was there to help, but Qin Huairu left first. Then someone would spread gossip about the Jia family.

Anyway, this kind of work was nothing to Qin Huairu, so he didn't think it was a big deal.

"are you going?"

She was furious. Seeing that her son didn't listen to her, Jia Zhang glared at him and said angrily, "If you don't want to go, I'll go by myself."

"Okay, okay, let me go!"

Afraid that if Jia Zhang went out now, something might happen, Jia Dongxu had no choice but to agree.

Not long after, Qin Huairu was called in from outside by Jia Dongxu.

As soon as she entered the room, Qin Huairu asked Jia Zhang: "Mom, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Jia Zhang glanced at Qin Huairu and said unhappily, "Nothing, I just asked you to go home."

Qin Huairu found that nothing was wrong, so she could only say helplessly: "Mom, if there is nothing else, I will go out first, because the work outside is not finished yet!"

"Qin Huairu, are you cheap?"

"mom?"

"Didn't you see that I, your mother-in-law, was bullied just now? It would have been fine if you didn't help at that time, but now you are rushing to help that fat guy Liu Haizhong with them?"

"Mom, you..."

"What do you mean by you? When others go to help, they know to seek benefits for their own families, but you are the only one who is so stupid. If you weren't so stupid, would I have bothered to snatch those things from others?"

"..."

Qin Huairu was completely stunned.

She never thought that her mother-in-law would blame her for this.

Speaking of the vegetable soup, if Jia Zhang hadn't caused trouble before and caused other people to have a dislike for her, she wouldn't have gotten no share at all.

As for helping to finish the work now, she can't just eat other people's lean meat noodles for free at noon and run away without finishing the work, right?

If that were to happen, people would gossip even more.

And because of Jia Zhang, she, the daughter-in-law of the Jia family, was also unwelcome. Some people even spoke ill of her. Did they really think that she would feel good staying outside to help?

She suffered injustice outside for the sake of the Jia family!
Just now when Jia Dongxu went out to call her in, don't mention how contemptuous the people around her looked at her. Maybe they were talking about her behind her back, saying that she was lazy and not working.

I didn't expect that this was Jia Zhang's plan.

"Mom, if I don't go out and help finish the work, people will gossip about our family later."

Qin Huairu endured the grievance and spoke to Jia Zhang under pressure.

Jia Zhang didn't care about that at all. She said stubbornly, "What gossip are you talking about? Would I, Zhang Cuihua, be afraid of them? Anyway, you are not allowed to go out!"

Helpless Qin Huairu could only look at Jia Dongxu.

Seeing this, Jia Dongxu glanced at Jia Zhang who was already angry, and could only persuade Qin Huairu: "Huairu, why don't you just listen to your mother for once!"

After saying this, Qin Huairu was once again completely disappointed when she saw Jia Dongxu's "filial" appearance.

Qin Huairu didn't say anything. She reached out to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, then turned and walked out.

"What are you going to do?"

"Qin Huairu, come back here!"

"You want to rebel, right?"

"It's outrageous! This family is in rebellion!"

"Dongxu, stop her for me!"

"..."

Hearing Jia Zhang's scolding coming from behind, Qin Huairu not only did not stop, but when Jia Dongxu caught up with her, she gave him a cold look, leaving Jia Dongxu stunned on the spot.

As Qin Huairu came back again, seeing that she had obviously just cried, combined with the scolding from Jia Zhang from the Jia family, the other people who were working guessed something.

Although she didn't say anything to comfort her, those who had originally been mocking her all shut up tacitly, and the hostility around them gradually decreased.

After all, it was Jia Zhang who made everyone unhappy, and it had nothing to do with Qin Huairu, the daughter-in-law.

Qin Huairu, who was the target of their anger, was actually quite innocent.

But these are no longer important to Qin Huairu at this moment.

There is nothing targeted at you, which is more heartbreaking than the indifference of your own family.

Looking at Wang Weiguo who was chatting with He Yushui not far away, Qin Huairu's mood became more complicated.

When Wang Weiguo finished talking with He Yushui and were about to return to the front yard, Qin Huairu pursed her lips and pretended to move a chair closer. When Wang Weiguo passed by, she suddenly said in a very low voice:

"Wait for me tonight!"
