Siheyuan: Steel Mill Engineer

Chapter 3 Decision
"Oh? Really? Then why don't you lend it to him?" Yang Zhenyu said, staring at Liu Haizhong.

"you……"

"What are you talking about? I think you don't take the country's laws seriously." Yang Zhenyu pointed at Liu Haizhong and said.

People's legal awareness is very weak these days, and they usually just talk about morality in the compound. Now someone who talks about the law has come. Not to mention Liu Haizhong alone, even all the people combined did not expect this.

"Okay, everyone be quiet and listen to me." At this time, Yi Zhonghai finally stood up.

Yi Zhonghai still has a good reputation in the compound.

When they heard him speak, the people in the compound quieted down.

"Zhenyu, please give your uncle some face and let's just forget about this matter today. What do you think?" Yi Zhonghai said sincerely.

After hearing what Yi Zhonghai said, Yang Zhenyu frowned slightly. He had watched this TV series before traveling through time, and he also knew that Yi Zhonghai was called "the True Lord of Morality."

But, does this person not even care about family affection?
On the other hand, the mother and son of the Jia family were extremely happy to see Yi Zhonghai step forward. In their opinion, Yi Zhonghai would still help them.

"Zhenyu, come and say hello to everyone."

Yi Zhonghai smiled at Yang Zhenyu, then turned around and looked at the mother and son of the Jia family.

All the efforts put in to train the unpromising Jia Dongxu have now been wasted.

"My name is Yang Zhenyu. I've just been assigned to work at the steel rolling mill today. I'll be living in the compound for a long time in the future. Please forgive me if I've offended you in any way." Yang Zhenyu nodded to everyone.

If Yang Zhenyu wasn’t good enough, I would be reluctant to let him go.

Especially Yang Zhenyu knew him inside out. Although he had not met him as often as his apprentices, he knew that Yang Zhenyu was definitely a filial child, and this was the key to his decision.

"But if I hear that someone bullies my nephew, don't blame me, Yi Zhonghai, for being merciless."

"Since my uncle has spoken, I will naturally give him this face." Yang Zhenyu said with a chuckle.

Yi Zhonghai was full of energy when he said this.

Hearing this, Yang Zhenyu instantly understood Yi Zhonghai's plan. He was planning to use this incident to completely draw a line between himself and the Jia family.

After Yi Zhonghai finished speaking, he no longer looked at the Jia mother and son, but came to Yang Zhenyu.

Yi Zhonghai made this decision on the spur of the moment, and his heart was bleeding.

However, Yi Zhonghai also knew that no matter how close his apprentice was, he was not as close as his own relatives.

"Since all the neighbors are here, I won't run away alone. This Yang Zhenyu is my Yi Zhonghai's nephew. He just came to our compound. If he does anything wrong in the future, if you guys can't stand it, just come to me, Yi Zhonghai, and I will take the blame."

As for Yi Zhonghai, he can go wherever he wants.

Although he said this, Yang Zhenyu had made up his mind that from now on he would just be there to see his eldest aunt off to her final resting place.

However, Yang Zhenyu still felt that he should observe the situation first.

"Zhenyu let this matter go for my sake, but from today on, Jia Dongxu is no longer my apprentice, and has nothing to do with me anymore. No matter what happens, it has nothing to do with me."

"Okay, now everyone knows each other. It's getting late. Go back and have some rest. You have to go to work tomorrow." Yi Zhonghai waved at the crowd.

After hearing Yi Zhonghai's words, people dispersed.

After all, everyone is tired after working all day and really needs a rest. We have to go to work again tomorrow morning.

After everyone left, Yi Zhonghai pulled Yang Zhenyu back to the room, and the three of them sat on a bench.

"Zhenyu, you won't blame your uncle for acting on his own, right?" Yi Zhonghai spoke first.

"Zhenyu, don't blame your uncle. What about Jia Dongxu..."

"Okay, let me tell you." Yi Zhonghai interrupted the old lady.

"I had originally planned to train Jia Dongxu to take care of me in my old age. He was fine when he was an apprentice and was quite humble. But as time went by, he became more and more like his mother. I don't know if what I did before was right, so I decided to cut off ties with them today. This is good for everyone," Yi Zhonghai explained.

"It doesn't matter, actually. With my current salary, it's more than enough to support myself and my whole family in the future." Yang Zhenyu said he didn't care.

Yang Zhenyu also understood the treatment of Yi Zhonghai.

After all, he has been my apprentice for more than ten years and I have trained and taken care of him in his old age, so there is affection for him no matter what.

Now that his nephew has come and gotten rid of the Jia family, this is also very decisive.

"How can it be the same? Your salary, although not a small amount, you still have to save some for your future marriage. And raising children also costs a lot of money. You have just started working, so you have to save some money on your own." Yi Zhonghai said with a look of disappointment.

"Yes, Zhenyu, you have just started working, you should save this salary for when you get married. If you need money, just ask your aunt directly. We old couple have nothing else, but we have saved some money over the years, which is enough for you to spend." The aunt also said.

"That's right, listen to your aunt. How much money can you get when you just started working? Tell your aunt if you need money. Also, your house needs to be decorated and you need to buy some furniture and other things." Yi Zhonghai agreed with what the aunt said.

"Really, there's no need. I still have some money, enough to spend." Yang Zhenyu waved his hands repeatedly.

"Aunt, there is something I want to tell you."

Seeing that the two people wanted to say something, Yang Zhenyu quickly changed the subject.

"what's up?"

An old lady looked at Yang Zhenyu curiously. She didn't quite understand what Yang Zhenyu meant.

"It's like this. As a condition for me to come to the steel mill, the factory will give me a supplementary ticket every month. That is, the factory will issue me a copy of all the tickets that can be obtained with the grain book. In addition, sometimes I may have to work overtime in the factory, so I will definitely go home late. I will leave the grain book with you and go to my aunt's house for dinner."

Yang Zhenyu took out his food grain book and handed it to the old lady.

"Okay, Zhenyu will come to my aunt's house from now on."

The aunt hesitated for a moment and then took Yang Zhenyu's grain book.

"This house hasn't been lived in for a while, and the Liu family hasn't painted the wall for a long time. I'll ask someone to clean it up, including the ear room. I'll buy some good wood and ask the carpenter in the factory to help make two sets of furniture. I'll need a decent set of furniture when I get married in the future." Yi Zhonghai said.

"No need to go through so much trouble. Uncle, just help me find someone to paint it, and then buy some good wood. I want to make a set of furniture myself later." Yang Zhenyu said.

"You can also make furniture?" said an old lady in disbelief.

“To take the exam to be an engineer, you have to be proficient in all kinds of work. Otherwise, you won’t be able to carry out many tasks.” Yang Zhenyu said with a smile.

"I am our Zhenyu, who is very capable. Unlike your uncle, he has only been an eighth-level fitter in his entire life. I will go and look for wood later and buy some for you when the time comes." The aunt was genuinely happy.

"Okay, it's getting late, let's go back first. Buying household items is no small matter, let's take our time, there's no rush. Tomorrow is Zhenyu's first day at work, so we can't be late."
