Siheyuan: I am invincible with my portable space
Chapter 38 No Mercy
“That’s no problem. I’ve already remembered your words. If you don’t take the initiative to report it, don’t blame me for being ruthless.
'
In fact, he knew that although Wu Ling always kept his word, bringing up this matter meant that he was willing to make good preparations.
"Your marriage is a big deal, but you should also improve your cooking skills in your free time. After all, we are chefs, and without skills, we can't survive!"
Chen Mu realized that he should remind the other party to avoid the young man's oversimplification of his first love.
Wu Ling listened carefully and nodded to show his understanding, and replied, "Master has indeed accepted Ma Hua as his apprentice recently, so as a senior brother, I naturally cannot fall behind.
"
It was not until the afternoon of the next day that Chen Mu received Wu Ling's invitation confirmation. They moved the wedding date forward by half a month.
Considering that the days in half a month would not be busy, Chen Mu naturally agreed.
"Master, you must bring your whole family with you.
"
Hearing this, Chen Mu laughed and did not explain further. It was unlikely that he would bring his whole family here this time - because he was not only Wu Ling's master, but also a member of the other party's relatives.
After learning that the woman, Zhao Hongmei, was the person Wu Ling introduced to him and his future wife, Chen Mu immediately decided at first sight that she was a gentle, considerate and family-oriented person.
It is indeed a blessing to be the spouse of such a person.
Moreover, she had no proud habits and always showed great humility and politeness when interacting with Master Zhao or Xiao Yun.
Without any prompting, she knew how to greet Taoist priests, which fully demonstrated her high emotional intelligence and ability to deal with people.
Chen Mu had a premonition that his disciple's life would be sweet and happy in the future, so he put his worries aside.
In a blink of an eye, a day at the end of March finally arrived - this is the day when salaries are paid every month. The difference is that you have to go to the finance department in person to collect it.
Chen Mu completed this step as usual and received his salary soon after.
But when he walked out of the finance department, he heard his co-workers whispering around him, and some even mentioned Qin Huairu's name.
Chen Mu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. He didn't intervene in other people's conversation, but just listened quietly.
Later, he learned that everyone was complaining about the salary and extra subsidies Qin Huairu received.
Recalling the decision of the steel mill - because Jia Dongxu was determined to be a work-related injury, Qin Huairu took his place and could earn 27.5 yuan per month.
When the news spread, it aroused envy among the people.
After hearing the indignant words in the hearts of the people, Chen Mu understood that it was actually very common for people to be dissatisfied with this.
Although Qin Huairu was only a front-line worker who had not yet been converted to a regular employee, and was not even a basic operator-level technician, the fact that she was treated better than ordinary people aroused dissatisfaction among many of her co-workers.
The results of their hard work seem to be less than the benefits enjoyed by new members who have just joined the company.
Although there are several children in the family, and even a young baby who is crying for food, judging from the character of the Jia Zhang family, they are very likely to rely on maternal feeding to take care of the young children and cannot afford the cost of high-quality milk powder at all.
He gathered his thoughts, not caring what others said, and continued along the road home.
However, on the way, he happened to meet Sha Zhu, and they returned home together.
"Muzhu, I heard that the old lady was not feeling well a few days ago. We have two children to take care of at home. We are so busy that we hardly have time to check on her. I wonder how she is doing recently?"
This statement is just a polite remark. In reality, this issue is often put at the bottom of the list and even forgotten until the opportunity arises to bring it up.
Mu Zhu didn't pay much attention to it. He was usually carefree and answered casually, "It's just a small matter. It's inevitable that the elderly will have poor physical strength. He accidentally fell down. He will get better soon.
"
Hearing this, Chen Mu nodded as if he had understood something: "That's good, after all, the elderly are more vulnerable. I was wondering why I haven't seen her walking around the house recently.
"Since the Muzhu family had TV, most people came to their house to watch, including this old lady.
"That's right, there are already a lot of things to do at home, and adding an injured elderly person will naturally make it even busier.
But we can't just ignore it.
"Mu Zhu sighed helplessly," This is a great pressure for Mr. Mu and Xiao'e.
"
Upon hearing the news, Chen Mu naturally stroked his chin and thought deeply. It seemed that he had to study medicine. In this era, many medicines have not yet been invented, which is a major loss for all the people. Think about those who died in the past due to lack of medicines and failure to control their illness in time.
Now that he has come to this era, he naturally hopes to contribute his own strength.
However, there are many different options for drug development. Which field should he start with?
Mu Zhu didn't understand what Chen Mu was thinking. When he returned home, he found his wife and children preparing dinner. However, when he saw the dishes being cooked in the pot, the corners of Mu Zhu's mouth twisted unnaturally - although Xiao'e tried her best, her cooking skills were obviously poor.
Despite this, Mu Zhu did not show any contempt or disgust towards this situation, because he and Xiao'e had experienced many difficult days together after their marriage.
Despite the hardships she had suffered, Xiao'e remained with him throughout, and this emotion deeply moved Mu Zhu.
Even though Xiao'e was a gentle little woman who was willing to learn some housework for Muzhu, her innocence and determination made Muzhu feel that it would not be a big deal even if he only had to eat coarse food every day.
Mu Zhu smiled and lowered his head. He put his hand through his wife's slender waist and held the handle of the cooking pot with her and started to work. "You're back? You must be very tired? I'll take care of this. Do you want to rest for a while?"
Hearing this, Xiao'e blushed with shyness.
Mu Zhu's straightforward and unexpressive love words sometimes make people angry or moved by his naivety.
But now, in such a simple and warm situation, even just a few words could make her heart beat.
She didn't let the man leave. Instead, she followed the direction guided by his actions and operated one by one.
After a while, a light and tempting aroma wafted from the pot, which was better than the food she cooked herself.
Although it is still not as good as Chen Mu's craftsmanship, the gap is obvious.
Since Lou Xiao'e married into this place, the dietary standards of Sha Zhu's family have been significantly improved.
We can't let her suffer the injustice of eating white flour buns. She has been pampered in the past, so naturally she has to enjoy better food.
The aroma of their cooking wafted in from the door of the Jia family opposite.
Attracted by the mouth-watering aroma, Bang Geng was so hungry that he burped, "Oh my god! When will we be able to eat a piece of meat to satisfy our craving? This food smells so tempting.
"
With his mouth pursed, Bang Geng couldn't help but ask.
Qin Huairu hesitated when she heard this, and looked at the corn porridge in her bowl. After a few seconds of silence, she said, "Bang Geng, we all know the current situation.
When I have enough money in the future, I will definitely let you enjoy meat, okay? Today, Mom brought you two white steamed buns, they taste great~"
As soon as these words came out, although Banggeng was unhappy, he could only suppress his dissatisfaction with his mouth and dared not refute.
Jia Zhang, the elder of the Jia Zhang family, was also dissatisfied. She was tired of hearing her daughter always make endless promises, so she ordered:
"Qin Huairu, this child is in the growth stage.
Now go and get the remaining meat from Zhuzi’s house to satisfy your hunger.
I'm about to throw up after eating this vegetarian pasta all the time.
"
After Jia Zhang finished speaking, she did not forget to lick her lips, as if she had already enjoyed the long-lost taste.
Qin Huairu's heart suddenly turned cold when she heard this, and she didn't understand what kind of logic and motives were in this person's mind.
She took it for granted that no one had any inherent obligations to them and that all requests should be made through reasonable transactions.
However, Qin Huairu knew Jia Zhang's behavior and thoughts very well.
Faced with this question, she replied as if it was a given: "How is that possible! I saved all this money for Banggeng to have a family and children in the future. Why should you, an outsider, plan his future for him?
This is not fair.
"
When he heard Banggeng's name being called out, he couldn't help but feel curious and puzzled - the things the adults in this world talked about were really hard for his little head to understand.
He knew that there was a secret hidden in his grandmother's purse, but she seemed unwilling to spend the copper coin to buy a piece of meat - this fact made him feel a little sad and he couldn't help but smile.
Qin Huairu did not expect that Jia Zhang was so far-sighted; to her, this man's temperament and way of doing things were very clear to her.
Although he said this to pay for Banggeng to marry, in reality no one knows when this promise will become a bubble.
Qin Huairu said: "Mom, don't worry about the banggeng. It's too early. Besides, even if you don't have any money to spend, you can just use some to buy some pork to nourish the child.
As for the future, we will talk about it later.
"
After hearing Qin Huairu's explanation, Jia Zhang, who had always valued money, felt like a spark was ignited.
She retorted loudly: "Whatever I say is my opinion. What right do you have to tell me what to do? Don't pretend to be a good person in front of me! Qin Huairu, this is your true face!"
After hearing the other party's scolding, Qin Huairu was stunned for a moment, but then the other party added, "And I haven't received your living allowance yet, so don't make any wishful calculations, just buy it yourself.
"Qin Huairu was quite dissatisfied at this time.
Then, she mentioned her salary situation and physical condition, and explained the previous factory decision, indicating that all this could not be changed at will. However, there were signs that Qin Huairu was unwilling to provide funds as agreed, which made her feel a little doubtful and angry.
"Qin Huairu, do you think I'm stupid? Isn't it because of your father's hard work that you got this position? Now that you're strong enough, you're not going to admit it? You're such an ungrateful person!"
Although her voice was loud and there were people around curiously looking over and asking about the situation, Jia Zhang did not stop talking.
At this time, Banggeng and Xiaodang were so scared that they huddled together. For fear of offending their mother and great aunt, they dared not mention the meat again.
