Chapter 101: Sha Zhu Beats Liu Haizhong (Part )
In the east wing, the aroma of the Liu family's seafood feast was rich and tempting, filling the entire quaint courtyard, as if it had a kind of magic that was irresistible.

At this moment, people who had already eaten, the moment they smelled the aroma of the food, the feeling of hunger suddenly came over them again.

In those difficult years, eating cornmeal steamed bread alone was not enough to satisfy hunger. It was best to rest immediately after eating, perhaps to survive the night and resist the invasion of hunger.

"Damn it! Whose house is this? Do you have any moral integrity? Oh my! I'm starving..." said the hot-tempered man.

"Wow! Whose house is this? It's so luxurious. Let me smell it. Hmm! There are fish, shrimps, sea cucumbers, and..." This is a glutton.

"Mom! I'm so hungry! I want to eat fish..." A boy said longingly with his big bright eyes in his bed.

"Well! Go to sleep quickly. You can dream about anything. Maybe you will even chew on pig's trotters!" his mother comforted him.

……

The rich fragrance spread to the Yan family silently like a trickle of water.

The two brothers of the Yan family were doing their homework. They couldn't calm down at the moment, and their hearts felt like they were being scratched by a cat.

"Mom! I'm hungry! Can you fry me an egg?" Yan Jiefang said with a shy smile and a pleading tone.

Yan Jiekuang, who was standing by, sat up straight after hearing this.

Yan Jiedi, who was originally lying on the kang, also jumped up.

"Yes, Mom! I'm so hungry too." She said pitifully.

When the three aunts saw them making a fuss while eating eggs, they scolded them. "You're hungry right after you finished your meal. Are you all gluttons?"

"I don't want to talk about you. You are not hungry at all. You are greedy. Are you envious? If you are envious, then learn from your brother."

Yan Bugui put down the book in his hand, glanced at Sanxiao and shook his head helplessly. "Ruihua, go fry an egg to satisfy their cravings."

Upon hearing this, the third aunt had no choice but to rummage through the drawers and cupboards to get an egg, then carefully went to the kitchen to fry it.

"Dad! You are too stingy. One is not enough." Yan Jiekuang said dissatisfiedly.

"That's right. It's okay that our family was poor before, but my brother is making money now. Life is much better than before, right?"

"No matter what, it's not much worse than Second Uncle's house. It's a bit unreasonable that you are still so stingy, isn't it?" Yan Jiefang also became excited, and the two brothers attacked Yan Bugui together.

Yan Bugui slapped him on the back of the head. He said angrily: "You can eat it if you want. If you don't want to eat it, forget it. You are so rebellious. You don't even know your last name after just a few days of good life." His eyes were full of disappointment. He was so ignorant.

"It's really good that you can still have a full meal now. Nowadays, the whole country is facing huge difficulties and challenges. People in many places can't even meet basic food and clothing. There are starving people everywhere. It's a terrible sight."

"We don't know how long this famine will last. There are so many people in our family, and we have to live frugally. What if we run out of food and one of you brothers and sisters starves to death, and your mother and I will be killed!" His words were full of worry and anxiety, and his eyes were red.

……

Jia family.

Jia Dongxu remained indifferent, as if he was a silent stone, and no matter how hard Yi Zhonghai tried, he could not shake his heart.

This made Yi Zhonghai feel helpless and frustrated, but he did not give up and decided to use his last trump card.

"Huai Ru! Today is a festival. I brought you ten kilograms of flour. Please make dumplings for the children."

Qin Huairu was delighted to see a bag of flour and wanted to take it. However, she took a peek and saw Jia Dongxu standing there expressionlessly. She was startled and retracted her hand, saying, "Master Yi, please take it back. We can't have it."

Yi Zhonghai, this experienced and shrewd man, saw through the deep meaning of Qin Huairu's expression at a glance, and knew that there was a way out of this matter. With his plan, he finally succeeded in knocking a crack.

Seeing this, Yi Zhonghai immediately struck while the iron was hot and carefully handed over the flour. "Qin Huairu, take it. If your family has any difficulties in the future, feel free to ask me at any time. This will also provide me with an opportunity to make amends to your family."

Qin Huairu took it with some embarrassment, her eyes flickering with a hint of apology, and said, "Hey! I'm really sorry to bother you, but there's no meat in these dumplings..." "It's okay, I still have a piece of bacon at home," Yi Zhonghai interrupted her, and turned to Jia Dongxu and said, "Your Aunt Yi and I have bad teeth, and we can't chew this bacon. It's just right for me to make dumplings for you, and improve the food for these two children and Dongxu."

Qin Huairu was somewhat moved after hearing this, and blamed herself: "Oh! It's all my fault, otherwise Dongxu and the others..."

Yi Zhonghai carefully observed the expression on Jia Dongxu's face, which was no longer as cold as before, but had a bit more warmth. He decided to add a little more chips, hoping to deal with Jia Dongxu.

"Dongxu, my master really knows he was wrong. Please believe me, I will continue to take care of you. When we return to the factory, I will talk to Director Sun and hope to transfer you back to work under me. With me around, you will definitely feel much more relaxed and will not have to work so hard. The master will do his best to help and teach you."

Sure enough, everything we say is just empty talk, we have to be practical.

Jia Dongxu nodded silently, forgiving Yi Zhonghai. Jia Dongxu was helpless. His technical level was not good to begin with. If it weren't for Yi Zhonghai's guidance, he probably wouldn't have passed the first-level worker exam.

Not to mention working under other masters, his life has become quite difficult since he fell out with Yi Zhonghai.

Working under other masters, he often felt uncomfortable and even depressed. Other masters would not indulge him, and he would be scolded and trained at any time, which had become commonplace.

He had given up long ago, but he had been holding on for the sake of face. Now Yi Zhonghai was offering him an olive branch, but he didn't rush to take it.

Yi Zhonghai heaved a sigh of relief when he saw this scene, and was extremely happy. He happily went home to get the meat.

After Yi Zhonghai returns home.

Qin Huairu asked in a low voice: "Dongxu! So have you forgiven him?"

Jia Dongxu sneered and said contemptuously, "Forgive? Bah! Huairu, remember this. I have finally seen clearly that this old guy is definitely not a good person.

Qin Huairu was puzzled when she heard this and asked, "Then you still..."

Jia Dongxu narrowed his eyes and said calmly: "It's just that each of us takes what we need!"

Yi Zhonghai returned home with a red face, and shouted to the lady to help him get the meat. He also took out two bottles of Hengshui Laobai Gan, which was full of aroma, and a plate of crispy fried peanuts.

Then, he carried these things and walked briskly to Jia's house.

Just then, Liu Haizhong, who lived in the backyard, came back from taking a dump outside, wearing clothes on.

He walked into the central courtyard with three staggering steps, and happened to see Yi Zhonghai coming to the Jia family with something in his hand, with a satisfied smile on his face.

Liu Haizhong moved, and quietly hid in the corner, ready to find out what was going on.

His heart was immediately stirred up, and he couldn't help but murmur: Didn't Jia Dongxu and Lao Yi have a falling out? Why are they getting along again now? This is not right!
So Liu Haizhong walked closer cautiously, leaned over the crack of Jia's door with his butt sticking out, and peeked inside secretly, hoping to see more clearly and hear more clearly.

……

After having a good meal and a good drink, Xu Damao, Sha Zhu and Yan Jiecheng walked back together.

Since Xu Damao was too excited and drunk tonight, and Sha Zhu didn't want to get too close to him, Yan Jiecheng had no choice but to send him back to the backyard.

As soon as the three of them stepped out of the corridor between the front yard and the middle yard, they noticed a person acting suspiciously at the door of the Jia family's house, and they didn't know what he was doing.

They were actually a little drunk and couldn't see clearly who it was, but after looking at each other, they decided to tiptoe behind the man.

Sha Zhu lifted up his clothes and covered his head with them, then started beating him mercilessly.

A wicked smile flashed across Sha Zhu's eyes, but he shouted, "Catch the thief! Catch the thief! I'll beat you to death, you blind thing! You are so brave to come to our yard..."

Liu Haizhong was caught off guard and was beaten so badly that he had no power to fight back. He could only struggle in fear and scream for mercy.

"Oh! Don't hit me, don't hit me, it's me, it's... Oh!... Woo..." Then, he was immediately covered over the mouth by Sha Zhu with his coat.
