Siheyuan: Steel Mill Engineer

Chapter 169 Calculation
"The He family is enjoying great glory today." After returning home, Zhou Qianqian said enviously.

"Well, what's the big deal? When our son grows up, we'll have a wedding banquet then." Yang Zhenyu said indifferently.

"It's too early to think about applying to university, and who knows if you can get in." Zhou Qianqian said with a pout.

"Isn't it easy to get into a university?" Yang Zhenyu shook his head and said.

"Just show off as you like, but go take a shower and go to bed, you have to go to work tomorrow." Zhou Qianqian didn't want to respond, after all, she had never been to college.

Everyone in the compound is very happy today. They have eaten the free meal from the He family and have some fun together. Naturally, they are happy.

However, envy is real. The He family has a college student, which is a matter of honor for the family.

"What do you think He Daqing would do if he knew about this?" Yang Zhenyu thought of He Daqing who was far away from home.

"Who knows? I'm afraid they will be dumbfounded. Back then, abandoning the child and running away was considered a great achievement." Zhou Qianqian said with contempt.

"Yes, who could have thought it would be like this? At that time, Yu Shui probably didn't remember much. After so many years, he probably doesn't even recognize his father." Yang Zhenyu nodded and said.

"Well, I guess it's about the same. The He family will be on the rise in the future." Zhou Qianqian said.

"Indeed, after going to college, Yu Shui will definitely find a college student to marry, and then life will definitely be easy." Yang Zhenyu nodded and said.

"sleep."

Today's days are becoming more and more hopeful, and everyone is working hard for a better life.

"What's happening here?"

After get off work the next day, Yang Zhenyu found that the front yard seemed very deserted. The people who usually gathered here to chat and knit sweaters were gone.

"Yes, logically speaking, Yu Li and the others should be knitting sweaters or doing other work here at this time." Zhou Qianqian also said curiously.

"I don't know, but this compound is a bit too quiet. What happened?" Yang Zhenyu shook his head.

After living in the compound for so many years, it is so quiet in the summer evening. There must be something wrong. Otherwise, given the personalities of the people in the compound, it would not be so quiet.

"Put the car away and then we'll go ask our aunt and we'll know." Zhou Qianqian said.

"That makes sense." Yang Zhenyu nodded.

Auntie Yi knows everything that goes on in the compound, after all, she stays in the compound all day long.

In the past, Yi Zhonghai’s salary was enough to cover the expenses of the two of them, and since the couple were relatively frugal, they still had some money left over.

After Yang Zhenyu and his friends came, although the couple's expenses increased, whether it was food, drink or other expenses, they all increased a lot, but Yang Zhenyu secretly gave the aunt pocket money every month and she didn't have to work.

Now, she is at home taking care of the children, so she doesn’t have to go to work anymore. As long as she takes good care of the children, that is her biggest job.

However, Yang Zhenyu and his team didn't need to look for the old lady specifically for today's incident, because when they arrived at the Central Courtyard, they saw a group of people surrounding the Central Courtyard.

"What's going on?" Yang Zhenyu asked in a low voice while pulling a neighbor aside.

"It's Old Xu's family who's here. Wasn't Xu Damao sent to prison yesterday? Now the government has preliminarily concluded that it was a false accusation. Isn't this the time when the higher-ups are cracking down hard? So Xu Damao won't be able to come back anytime soon, unless he can get Sha Zhu's forgiveness. So Old Xu's family came to look for Sha Zhu."

"It seems that the only person in Zhuzi's family is the old lady from Meifeng's family?" Yang Zhenyu said. "Yes, at first, Mr. and Mrs. Xu wanted to force the old lady to give in, but the old lady was not easy to deal with, and she started to quarrel directly. In the end, it was the deaf old lady in the backyard who came over and scolded the old Xu family, and then they calmed down."

"I see."

At this moment, Yang Zhenyu finally understood the reason.

According to Yang Zhenyu's guess, the old Xu couple did it on purpose. They took advantage of He Yuzhu's absence and came to force the old lady.

By the time He Yuzhu and his wife came back, it was too late. Even if He Yuzhu disagreed, the elderly at home would agree. Otherwise, both sides would be in trouble.

However, what the couple did not expect was that the deaf old lady in the backyard was really staring at He Yuzhu.

This was definitely a good time to sell, so he immediately stepped forward and scolded Mr. and Mrs. Xu.

"Damn it, this compound is full of calculations everywhere." Yang Zhenyu cursed inwardly.

These things certainly cannot be told to others casually, and he also believes that the people in the compound must be well aware of such things.

However, when it comes time to scheme, he will be ruthless.

Especially people like He Yuzhu who have no elderly people to take care of them will inevitably be plotted against and bullied.

Because there are no elders above you, no one will help you. Even if others see it and know what is going on, they will not tell you, because they also want to get involved and share the benefits later.

If there are elderly people to help, if anything happens, they will naturally understand because they have seen more. How could they allow neighbors to bully their own children?

Someone said that the deaf old lady treated He Yuzhu as her own grandson.

That's nonsense. The deaf old lady was the first one to plot against He Yuzhu. Her purpose was to solve the problem of retirement. She felt that Yi Zhonghai was not as easy to control as He Yuzhu, so she focused all her attention on He Yuzhu.

But, can she care too much?
Apart from those things that were really excessive, what else?

If Yang Zhenyu had not appeared, Yi Zhonghai would have plotted against He Yuzhu for his retirement, the young widow would have plotted against He Yuzhu for his meal tickets, and even other people would have plotted against He Yuzhu.

Does the deaf old lady dare to come forward and explain these things?
She didn't dare, because she was afraid that others would expose her plan for retirement.

It is easy to be discovered when one person is acting. If the whole compound is acting, no matter how smart He Yuzhu is, it will be useless.

It's already amazing that he was able to support He Yushui to finish high school.

"I wonder what Brother Zhuzi's expression will be when he comes back." Zhou Qianqian said in a low voice.

"With his temper, even if he doesn't hit people, he will never be a good person." Yang Zhenyu shook his head and said.

"However, he probably won't be here early today. The factory has a reception task today. Brother Zhuzi will definitely stay to cook, and sister-in-law Meifeng will definitely come back by herself later." Yang Zhenyu said.

"Well, do we need to help?" Zhou Qianqian asked.

"It depends on the situation. In this situation, Brother Zhuzi will definitely be able to handle it, but Sister Meifeng might find it a little difficult to handle." Yang Zhenyu said after a moment of hesitation.
