Courtyard House: My Wife is Xu Huizhen

Page 561

He Yuzhu wanted others to know that the machinery factory was best when it was under his control.

It's all about taking a gamble.

What's more, he plans to split the machinery factory in two next.

"You kept me here only to tell me this?"

Jiang Hui thought He Yuzhu had some other plan for keeping her, but she didn't expect to receive only a word of comfort.

I know that if things really come to that, with thousands of people starving, the higher-ups certainly can't just sit idly by.

What He Yuzhu said is pure nonsense!

"You don't actually think I'd give you and your brother and sister-in-law several thousand kilograms of grain, do you?"

"You...you let me go."

"What if I don't let go?"

"You're a scoundrel."

He Yuzhu chuckled and said, "You're right this time. Let's chat here. Look, it's snowing outside."

Jiang Hui looked up at the window and saw that it was snowing heavily outside. Then she struggled out of He Yuzhu's arms and peered out the window.

"It's raining so heavily!"

"Yes, with such heavy snow, how are you going to get home by bicycle?"

"I won't let you interfere."

Jiang Hui said this in anger, but with such heavy snow, it really wasn't a good time to leave.

He Yuzhu cleared away the food and drinks, moved the kang table to the side, and hugged Jiang Hui, who was watching the snow, from behind again.

"What's so interesting about heavy snow?"

Jiang Hui snorted and said, "Do you think I'd want to see you, you scoundrel?"

"Look at what you're saying! Just now, there was someone who was practically begging a bad guy to bully her!"

Hearing He Yuzhu bring up old grievances, Jiang Hui was extremely embarrassed and tried to run away, but He Yuzhu, of course, wouldn't let her go and hugged her from behind.

Jiang Hui raised her iron fist and smashed it into He Yuzhu's chest.

Then suddenly he hugged him and said, "I didn't expect you wouldn't take this opportunity to sleep with me."

"Silly girl, I want you to be with me willingly, not because you're forced to for any reason."

"Pah, you're the stupid one, you're the idiot Zhu!" Jiang Hui said angrily.

He Yuzhu raised his hands high, and Jiang Hui snorted, not afraid at all.

He Yuzhu simply landed lightly on his little bottom, giving it two slaps before leaving his hand.

Jiang Hui swayed left and right, but couldn't break free. She said shyly, "You're so naughty."

He Yuzhu suddenly said, "I regret it."

Jiang Hui was greatly surprised and, disregarding He Yuzhu's large hand behind her back, asked, "What do you regret?"

"I'm starting to regret your suggestion. How about we start over? Say it again and I'll agree."

Jiang Hui was extremely embarrassed, realizing that He Yuzhu was continuing to make fun of her.

She immediately cursed He Yuzhu as a bad guy, broke free, pulled the quilt over herself, and wrapped herself up.

He Yuzhu chuckled and crawled under the covers.

"Get out of here."

"I won't."

The two made their move under the covers and quickly got into a fight. Jiang Hui was outnumbered and had no choice but to submit to the kiss, allowing He Yuzhu to take advantage of her.

"You bad guy, all you do is bully me."

Jiang Hui poked her head out from under the covers, muttered a complaint, then got up to straighten her clothes, put on her coat, scarf, and hat.

Why are you leaving?

"Do you want me to stay here and let you take advantage of me?" Jiang Hui said angrily.

Seeing that the snow outside had lessened a bit, He Yuzhu said, "Let me take you home."

"With so much snow, can the car still drive?"

The jeep didn't have snow chains either, and it was definitely not a good day to drive, so he said, "I'll give you a ride."

"No need, I can walk by myself."

"Don't mention it. I'll just take you to the alley outside your house; I won't go in."

"Do you dare go in? If my brother finds out you're bullying his sister, he'll break your legs."

"Tch, we don't even know who'll break whose leg yet."

He Yuzhu put the yellow military overcoat on Jiang Hui, then locked the door and had Jiang Hui lie on top of him. With both of them wrapped up like that, they jogged along.

"Slow down, don't slip."

Don't worry, you won't fall.

He Yuzhu carried Jiang Hui to the outside of their alley before putting her down.

Jiang Hui took off her yellow overcoat and handed it to He Yuzhu, saying, "You really don't want to help my brother?"

He Yuzhu thought for a moment, then asked with a smile, "Do your conditions still stand?"

"Pah, no need to even think about it, of course it doesn't count."

Jiang Hui didn't think too much about it at the time; she just thought that since only He Yuzhu could solve her brother's problem, she would go and ask him for help.

However, after He Yuzhu's analysis, he knew that the Geng family had the ability to solve this food crisis, so of course they wouldn't let He Yuzhu have it.

"What a pity, actually I..."

"Get out, get out of here right now, you big bad guy, you old scoundrel."

Jiang Hui shyly pushed He Yuzhu away with both hands, then quickly ran into the alley.

He lost his footing and slipped on the snow, but quickly got up and went into his house.

He Yuzhu shook his head, turned around and walked back. Although he didn't take the final step with Jiang Hui today, he didn't regret it.

People should have a bottom line; there are some things that should not be touched.

He did not want to obtain Jiang Hui through this kind of transaction.

Although everything is said now, as time goes on, Jiang Hui will always have a thorn in her heart.

He Yuzhu went back first to put the Jeep into his spatial storage, and then went home.

From a distance, I could see two people squatting at the door, covered in snow, shivering from the cold.

He Yuzhu was furious. When he got closer, he found out that they were two employees from the machinery factory.

"What are you doing here? Who sent you?"

The two men looked up and their faces lit up with joy: "Director He, you're finally back."

Another person said, "Director He, please have pity on us. Secretary Geng asked us to guard your house so you can return his call."

"Secretary Geng also said that if you don't call back, we'll have to keep guarding this place."

If Secretary Geng were to appear in person, He Yuzhu would definitely not give her a friendly look.

However, He Yuzhu couldn't lose his temper with these two ordinary workers.

"Alright, come in with me and have some hot water."

"Thank you, Director He."

He Yuzhu opened the door, invited the two into the study, and poured hot water for them using the kettle.

The two drank a lot of hot water and then felt warmer.

He Yuzhu picked up the phone and asked for Geng Feiyan's office at the machinery factory.

"Secretary Geng, what do you mean by sending people to block my door?"

"Director He, it's just that we really can't find you."

Upon hearing Secretary Geng's voice on the phone, the two workers got up to say goodbye.

After everyone left, He Yuzhu slowly asked, "Secretary Geng, I've already taken leave and am staying home. Why are you still bothering two workers?"

Upon hearing He Yuzhu's voice, Geng Feiyan became angry, but patiently said:

"Comrade He Yuzhu, you are still a leader in the factory. Why are you so disregarding the overall situation and unable to continue providing grain?"

"Look at what you're saying! What do you mean I don't care about the big picture?"

"You're talking about the bigger picture? We're out of food in our warehouse?"

"Secretary Geng, don't try to pin this on me. If there's no grain in the warehouse, why are you looking for the logistics director and coming to me?"

"Director Hou said it was you who provided the food, so who else should I turn to if not you?"
