Era: Life's Big Winner

Chapter 51 He Yuzhu Asks for Trouble

the next day.

After getting up, Liu Hongchang and He Wenhui went to the kitchen to pour hot water to wash their faces.

Wu Xiaoying, who was making breakfast with Wang Cuilan, had dark circles under her eyes. She turned around and looked at the two of them with a strange expression.

After they finished washing up, Wang Cuilan took a moment to call Liu Hongchang aside and whispered to him:

"Hong Chang! Wenhui is so delicate, you have to be more careful."

Then she couldn't continue.

"Haha, Mom, I know what's going on. Don't you see that Wenhui looks better now?" Liu Hongchang chuckled.

Wang Cuilan rolled her eyes at him and said unhappily, "Don't be so frivolous, Mom is talking to you about serious matters!"

"She is young. As long as she gets enough nutrition, isn't it normal for her to look healthy? Stop talking nonsense."

Liu Hongchang nodded and said, "Okay, okay, okay! Mom, stop nagging. I know how to cherish my own wife."

Wang Cuilan was angry when she saw that he didn't take it seriously, but she didn't know what to say. She went back to the kitchen to cook, cursing.

He Wenhui took a comb from her room and combed her hair. She came forward and asked curiously, "What is mom talking to you about? Did you make her angry?"

"No, there was a lot of noise last night, and mom reminded me to take good care of you, fearing that you couldn't bear it." Liu Hongchang said with a wicked smile.

"Oh, how embarrassing!" Upon hearing this, He Wenhui's pretty face turned red with embarrassment. She stomped her feet lightly, covered her face and went back to the room.

"Hehe..." Liu Hongchang smiled, walked out of the yard, and went to the toilet outside.

There was a long queue outside the toilet. Many nearby residents came here early in the morning with sleepy eyes to empty their toilets and use the toilet.

The air in the morning was not fresh. It was filled with the smell of feces, urine, coal smoke and sulfur. It was smoky and pungent.

This is before we encounter sandstorms. If there is a strong wind and the sky is full of yellow sand, we can only cover our mouths and noses when traveling, and life will be even more difficult.

Perhaps because Wang Cuilan had gone out to promote it yesterday, few people made fun of Liu Hongchang for marrying into the family.

When we saw him coming out of Shuguang Courtyard today, we knew he was staying here overnight, and we all greeted him.

After all, the original owner grew up in this area. If there is no deep hatred, most people would not do such a mocking thing.

Even if they make a few jokes, they are all done with good intentions and they won't really offend anyone.

"Want to move back? That's good. I haven't seen you for a while and I'm not used to it." Someone said with a smile.

Someone else said, "I said this was a rumor. Hong Chang is a seventh-level cook. He really doesn't need to marry into the family."

"Everyone in his family has a job. Even Wang Cuilan has a pension. With good conditions, what kind of woman can he not find?"

Some people also whispered: "Didn't Liu Yunchang say he wanted to sever ties with his brother?"

"The rumor spread among their family members. They said Liu Yunchang wanted to occupy his brother's house, so they started the rumor."

"So, Liu Yunchang is a bit dishonest. Wang Cuilan is still alive, so how can he have a say?"

"Isn't it? Isn't Liu Hongchang back now? And I haven't seen anything happen to Liu Yunchang. It's all in vain after all."

People were whispering to each other.

Many enthusiastic people gathered around Liu Hongchang, speaking up for him and saying a few fair words.

Liu Hongchang naturally tried to persuade them kindly, explaining that it was all a misunderstanding, and he and his elder brother reconciled.

In fact, he hadn't seen Liu Yunchang since he came here last night and woke up this morning. The guy was avoiding him.

However, family disgrace should not be made public, and there is no need for Liu Hongchang to expose his family's faults in front of outsiders.

Besides, the original owner moved to Suxiang Hutong not only for family reasons.

He was determined to move there, and wanted to take care of He Wenhui and her family for the rest of his life, fulfilling his promise before marriage. "Liu Hongchang!" He was chatting with someone while waiting to go to the toilet when he heard Sha Zhu calling him loudly, followed by Qin Huairu.

"What's the matter, you son-in-law, are you back to visit your parents' family?"

Liu Hongchang glanced at him calmly and said expressionlessly: "Silly Zhu, your mouth is as stinky as ever!"

"Good boy, isn't what I said true?" Sha Zhu walked up and said with a mean look on his face.

Liu Hongchang chuckled and said, "No matter how bad I am, I still married a young and beautiful girl who is still a college student!"

Sha Zhu was speechless for a moment. Qin Huairu beside him gently pulled him and whispered, "Why are you arguing with him for no reason?"

"You don't understand." Sha Zhu said vaguely, separated from Qin Huairu, and walked to the side with a sullen face to queue up.

Although both are chefs, he is older than Liu Hongchang and thinks he is better at cooking than Liu Hongchang, but he is still only an eighth-level cook.

Although the two have never had a direct conflict, since they live in the same alley, there are always people who compare them privately.

Liu Hongchang's rank is higher than his, so people who don't know much about the business naturally think that Liu Hongchang's cooking skills are better than his, and they often flatter him and criticize him.

Over time, Sha Zhu gradually developed an opinion of Liu Hongchang.

Although he was as docile as a cat in front of Qin Huairu, he was more petty than anyone else in front of outsiders.

So after seeing Liu Hongchang, he couldn't help but say a few words.

Of course, when Sha Zhu faced Liu Hongchang, it was impossible for him to fight with fists and feet when he couldn't win the argument like he did when he faced Xu Damao.

After all, old people are no longer strong in muscles and bones. Liu Hongchang is 20 years younger than him and is also a good fighter in the streets and alleys.

If the two were to fight, Sha Zhu knew that he was no match for Liu Hongchang and would only be beaten.

His nickname is Shazhu, but he is not really stupid. On the contrary, he is smarter than anyone else. Those who really think he is stupid have suffered from him.

Because of this, after being humiliated, Sha Zhu didn't say another word except for looking unhappy, for fear that the conflict would escalate into a fight.

I thought the matter was over, but someone in the crowd asked loudly:

"Silly Zhu, I heard that you are only an eighth-level cook?"

"What's the matter? How does the eighth-level cook bother you?" Sha Zhu's face turned even darker.

This is a concern of his, but he has nothing to say about it. At his age, no matter how good his cooking skills are, he will always lack confidence if his cooking skills cannot reach a higher level.

The other party laughed and said, "Then why is Liu Hongchang so young and can be promoted to level seven? To put it bluntly, your cooking skills are still not good enough!"

This is just blatant lies and is purely for the sake of stirring up trouble.

Sha Zhu's cooking skills are quite famous, but he has a bad temper, likes to talk back to his superiors, and has a poor mass base, which is why he has always been at level eight.

"Black barbarian, just talk about the matter. Don't push me out to attract hatred. Be careful or I will beat you up." Liu Hongchang warned.

The one who spoke was a well-known hooligans in the alley, the kind who idled around all day, looking for trouble, and thought the alley wasn't lively enough.

This kid's methods of sowing discord are very crude. Does he really think that Liu Hongchang and Sha Zhu will fight if he instigates them?
"It's my fault, hehe, I won't do it again." The black barbarian failed in his provocation, and hurriedly bowed his head, bowed his hands and admitted his mistake with a playful smile.

Sha Zhu suffered a setback at the hands of Liu Hongchang, but he did not indulge Hei Manzi anymore.

He flashed forward, threw the black barbarian to the ground with an over-the-shoulder throw, then rode on him and beat him violently with his fists.

"You are the one who stirs up discord! You are the one who looks down on others!"

The black barbarian was quite tough. He didn't even make a sound. After being hit a few times, he seized the opportunity to roll over and pinned Shazhu to the ground.

"Great!" The people around cheered in unison and clapped excitedly. Being able to watch the excitement so early in the morning could make them happy for the whole day.

"You black barbarian, how dare you!" Qin Huairu heard the noise in the women's restroom, looked up, and was immediately frightened.
