Courtyard House: My Wife is Xu Huizhen

The profits generated by these small businesses first go to the machinery factory, and then the machinery factory hands them over to the neighborhood committee.

In other words, the machine factory became the street's money bag.

The machine factory is not just about money; it also involves the placement of personnel, as graduates are sent there.

This is the most fundamental contradiction. Anyone who becomes the new street director must first and foremost secure the purse strings, so that the machinery factory won't disobey at crucial moments and make things difficult for the director.

Bai Ling said, "If I become the director of the neighborhood committee, of course I will put my own people in there too."

He Yuzhu asked, "Whose side are you on? Why are you speaking up for him?"

Bai Ling glared at him: "I'm just stating the facts. Which side am I on?"

She retorted angrily, "They got what they wanted without me even knowing it. Did I have any other choice?"

He Yuzhu chuckled and put a piece of beef into Bai Ling's mouth.

"Good sister, it's my fault, let's talk about serious matters."

"In your situation, there is no room for resistance. Once Director Li is transferred and Jiang Hanyang becomes the acting director, a single transfer order will be enough to remove you from the machinery factory. At that point, your time as a factory leader will be over."

He Yuzhu said with a smile, "That's why I told you I'd be working at the police station."

Bai Ling laughed and said, "Our police station can't afford to hire a top-notch cook like you."

Just like in a steel rolling mill, the cooks in the canteen can only be level 8 cooks at most, earning 35.5 yuan a month.

Even a large factory with 27 employees is only at this level. As a police station, there are only 10 people in total. The cook can only be level 10 and is paid 5 yuan.

Any more than that, and the higher-ups won't approve it.

He Yuzhu said exaggeratedly, "Even you don't want me anymore?"

Bai Ling glared at him reproachfully and asked, "What are your plans?"

"I haven't decided yet!" He Yuzhu naturally wouldn't say that.

It's not that I don't trust Bai Ling, I just want to play the victim.

Bai Ling said, "With your abilities and rank, you'd be a section chief anywhere."

Now, once an administrative rank is raised, there's no such thing as a lower rank.

Unless He Yuzhu has made a mistake and received administrative punishment, Jiang Hanyang does not have the power to frame him and remove him from his post.

He Yuzhu said, "But if I leave the machinery factory, where will I find a place?"

He Yuzhu would definitely not be given a good position on the street, and even if he were, he would be Jiang Hanyang's subordinate.

He Yuzhu would certainly not submit to Jiang Hanyang's command and become one of his soldiers.

Bai Ling found it strange that He Yuzhu didn't seem very worried.

After asking several times, He Yuzhu still wouldn't say, so they stopped asking.

Bai Ling didn't control her alcohol intake today, but He Yuzhu didn't force her to drink more. He stopped when he saw that she was a little drunk.

He Yuzhu took the things to the kitchen. When he returned, Bai Ling insisted on washing up, even though she was swaying and unsteady. She also wanted to wash He Yuzhu's feet.

He Yuzhu put his arm around Bai Ling, who was already slightly drunk, and quickly took off her outer clothes, revealing Bai Ling's colorful underwear.

He Yuzhu laughed and said, "Isn't this just taking it off for me to see?"

Bai Ling blushed instantly when she recalled the scene in the office, and pulled the quilt over herself tightly.

"I won't show it to you."

He Yuzhu lifted a corner of the quilt and crawled inside, laughing, "I insist on seeing."

After a hearty meal and drinks, the red waves of passion were stirred.

Bai Ling was determined and used every trick in the book to avenge the gunshot wound.

Both players scored twice, completing a hat trick.

Bai Ling was ultimately and utterly defeated, suffering a crushing defeat...

He Yuzhu was quite pleased with himself, as he was not tired at all. However, Bai Ling was already limp as mud, curled up in a ball, leaning against He Yuzhu's chest, and soon fell asleep.

The morning came quickly, and when Bai Ling opened her eyes, she felt a little sore all over, and her body was still restrained by He Yuzhu.

He rudely removed He Yuzhu's large hand from his snow-covered mountain, then sat up and, finding He Yuzhu awake, exclaimed:

"You scoundrel, where did you put my clothes?"

The moment He Yuzhu opened his eyes, he was greeted by a picture of a beautiful woman dressed up, which immediately brought him back to his senses.

He turned sideways to watch Bai Ling get dressed before lifting the covers and getting up himself.

Bai Ling exclaimed, "I've been quite busy these days, and I have to work the night shift, so you don't need to come."

"Are you going to kick me out like this?"

"Good little brother, listen to me. Don't you know your own physique? I need to rest for a couple of days."

Although Bai Ling's body was still delicate, her stamina was failing. After a night of this, she was afraid that He Yuzhu would abuse her again.

He Yuzhu laughed and said, "Call me Brother Zhu, and I'll give you two days off."

"Pah, you bad guy, you brat."

Yesterday, He Yuzhu pointed a gun at her head and even put the barrel into Bai Ling's cherry-like mouth, but he didn't make her call him Brother Zhuzi.

The most dangerous moment has long passed, how could Bai Ling possibly succumb to He Yuzhu's tyranny?

"Anyway, I'll be on duty at the police station for the next couple of days, so we'll talk about it later."

The two had breakfast before going to work separately.

As soon as I sat down in the office, Jiang Hui brought me newspapers and documents.

"These are the documents that were sent to you yesterday and need your signature."

He Yuzhu signed the document, then said, "Hui'er..."

"You're not allowed to call me by my nickname," Jiang Hui snorted.

"Well, I..."

Jiang Hui said, "Please note, Director He, I am just your secretary. Don't talk to me about anything that is not related to work."

After saying that, he turned and went to his room, locking the door behind him.

He Yuzhu pressed his temples, feeling a terrible headache. How was he going to get through this?

After finally making it to the afternoon, He Yuzhu left work on time and returned home.

The three women didn't say much about He Yuzhu's absence all night, treating it as a day off for themselves.

He Yuzhu had just finished eating when suddenly there was a loud knocking on the courtyard gate.

"Who?"

“It’s me, Cai Quanwu.”

He Yuzhu quickly handed his son to Zhao Yuezhen and came out of the house.

He opened the courtyard gate and asked, "Any clues?"

He Yuzhu had previously asked Pian Ye and Cai Quanwu to inquire on the interface to see if Qing Laosan had any clues.

The fact that Cai Quanwu contacted him at this time meant that he must have found something.

Cai Quanwu nodded and said, "There are clues. After inquiring, we found out that Qing Laosan is keeping a mistress outside."

"There are women too?" He Yuzhu was surprised.

Cai Quanwu nodded and said, "It's in the area of ​​the South Barracks outside Chaoyangmen, but I don't know the exact location."

He Yuzhu frowned and asked, "Do you know what that woman's name is?"

"I know this one, her name is Lu Xiuhua."

"Once we have a name, things will be much easier," He Yuzhu said. "That's great, you just wait here."

He Yuzhu returned to the house and said to Zhao Yuezhen, "Get Cai Quanwu 100 jin of cornmeal."

I said at the time that if someone provided a clue, I would give them 50 jin of cornmeal.

The 50 jin (25 catties) was for the person who provided the clue. He Yuzhu also couldn't treat Cai Quanwu unfairly, so the extra 50 jin (25 catties) was for Cai Quanwu.

Zhao Yuezhen didn't ask any more questions. She got up, took the key, and went to the warehouse, carrying a sack out with one hand.

Cai Quanwu was dumbfounded. Such a large sack was in Zhao Yuezhen's hands as if she were playing with it.

Cai Quanwu knew immediately upon handling the grain that it weighed at least 100 jin (50 catties), and quickly asked with a smile, "Thank you, Boss He. Isn't this too much?"

He Yuzhu said, "Don't mention it, it's nothing. You've really helped me a lot this time."

Cai Quanwu thanked him repeatedly before carrying the grain away.

He Yuzhu said to Zhao Yuezhen, "You stay home, I'm going out for a bit."

"What happened?"

"It's nothing, I just found a clue about Qing Laosan, and I need to find someone to verify it."

Cai Quanwu sent no clues, only that Lu Xiuhua lived in the Nanyingfang area outside Chaoyangmen.
