Courtyard House: My Wife is Xu Huizhen

Page 469

He Yuzhu said, "He'll have to spend at least a few months in prison."

He Daqing didn't ask any more questions.

After this commotion, Qin Huairu, the deaf old lady, and Aunt Jiang all moved out.

Xu Damao also sold the house, and Jia Zhangshi became all alone, temporarily forced to live in prison.

He Yuzhu was busy with dual cultivation every day, feeling his vital energy gradually increase and the experience he gained gradually, which made him even more enthusiastic about dual cultivation.

However, it will take quite some time before I can get promoted.

He Yuzhu wasn't in a great hurry for this, after all, he was still young, and even if he stayed at the level of Baodan, he could live to be over 100 years old.

Throughout the summer, He Yuzhu continuously improved the Jeep, not only the engine and transmission assemblies, but also all the parts, repeatedly verifying them.

The overall performance of the vehicle was gradually improved, but it was never truly finalized.

As autumn arrived, He Yuzhu took Zhao Yuezhen to a retreat in the morning, and it was almost 9 o'clock when they arrived at the office.

I saw Lü Xiaomi slumped over her desk, her shoulders shaking, sobbing softly.

Even when He Yuzhu came in, she didn't raise her head.

He pulled up a chair and sat down next to her, asking, "What's wrong? Did someone bully you?"

Lü Xiaomi looked up at He Yuzhu, then hugged him and cried even louder.

He Yuzhu patted her on the shoulder and said, "Crying won't help. Tell me what happened so I can help you."

Lü Xiaomi then raised her head, her face covered in tears, her eyes swollen from crying.

She said, her voice trembling slightly, "My brother's story has been exposed."

"Doesn't your brother work at the grain depot?" He Yuzhu asked.

Lü Xiaomi nodded and said, "Inside, he's still a squad leader, managing more than 10 people."

He Yuzhu asked, "What happened?"

Lü Xiaomi shook her head and said, "This time I've been framed and gotten myself into trouble."

He Yuzhu asked, somewhat speechless, "Hey lady, can you get to the point? What exactly happened?"

Sometimes communicating with women can be particularly troublesome. You ask them something, and they give you something completely different, like a donkey talking about a horse.

After exchanging a few words, Lü Xiaomi only provided useless information.

"You can't help with anything, let me cry for a while."

He Yuzhu reached out and patted her round, perky buttocks, saying, "Just answer whatever I ask you."

Lu Xiaomi covered her bottom with her hand and yelled, "You've ruined it!"

"What's wrong? Let me see."

As He Yuzhu spoke, he reached out to undo her belt.

Lu Xiaomi pushed him back, shouting, "You're still in the office."

He Yuzhu was just putting on an act. Seeing that he had finally stopped crying, he asked again, "After all this talk, what exactly happened to you?"

“My brother was tricked into secretly taking out the grain and selling it at the pigeon market.”

"Has he gone mad?" He Yuzhu was startled.

At this time, grain was a red line. Anyone who tried to take advantage of grain would be dealt with ruthlessly, and if caught, they would be in deep trouble.

Lu Xiaomi's face was also very ugly: "He was deceived by someone who told him to bring out the good grain and say that he could get the old grain to mix in, so that he could make a profit from the price difference."

He Yuzhu breathed a slight sigh of relief; it seemed that Brother Lü Xiaomi did have some sense after all.

"and after?"

“My brother sold 2000 jin of grain first, but the other party did not bring any old grain, so we can’t fill this gap.”

"2000 pounds?"

Lü Xiaomi nodded. If it were only a few hundred kilograms, my father could try to find a way to make an exception, but where can we get so much grain, as much as 2000 kilograms, to fill the hole?

He Yuzhu has been frequently visiting the pigeon market lately, mainly because there are now many people selling various antique furniture there.

He Yuzhu brought more than 10 kilograms of grain, and he would directly exchange the grain for any antiques or calligraphy and paintings.

In this way, the grain in the space was gradually replaced with antiques.

He knew that there was very little grain for sale in the market now, and as soon as someone tried to sell it, it would be snatched up by someone else.

At this point, money is just a pile of worthless paper, and even if the price is 20 times higher than before, people will still rush to buy it.

After all, no one knows if the ration will be reduced next month. If you really get hungry, having some stored food can save your life.

Selling grain in the market is easy, but buying it is a matter of luck, as there aren't people selling grain every day.

It would be almost impossible to buy back 2000 jin of grain through the pigeon market.

Lü Xiaomi asked tearfully, "Brother Zhu, can you get 2000 jin of grain?"

"You want me to embezzle the machinery factory's grain?" He Yuzhu retorted.

Lü Xiaomi immediately fell silent; she knew that this hole wasn't so easy to patch up.

She just looked at him pitifully.

He Yuzhu asked with a smile, "Didn't you say before that you wouldn't need to ask me for anything?"

Lu Xiaomi blushed slightly, remembering that they had indeed had a similar conversation before.

I did think that way before, because my father was the deputy secretary of the street office, and he had a wide network of connections, knowing people in all the units in the district.

My brother also works in the grain system and is a minor leader.

To be honest, Lü Xiaomi initially looked down on He Yuzhu, given the significant difference in their social standing.

If she hadn't been forced to write a pledge of allegiance last time, how could Lü Xiaomi have gotten involved with He Yuzhu?

There are inherent differences between the two.

Lu Xiaomi blushed even more at the thought, feeling somewhat sentimental. Luckily, the letter of allegiance had fallen into He Yuzhu's hands; if it had been an old man in his seventies or eighties, things would have been even worse.

He shook He Yuzhu's arm and asked, "Do you really have a way to get 2000 jin of grain from the machinery factory?"

"Are you crazy? This is 2000 jin. Even if it's 200 jin short, the accounts won't balance."

Lü Xiaomi said angrily, "Then what's the point of saying all this?"

Tears then fell again; if the hole couldn't be filled, the brother would be held responsible.

Even if he loses 2000 jin of grain, let alone 200 jin, he'll still go to jail.

It might even affect her father's job, and she would have to bear some joint responsibility, which would ruin her family.

He Yuzhu had enough food in his space, but he couldn't just take it out like that.

He simply said, "I'll go back and make a phone call to see if I can get you some food."

Lü Xiaomi's hope was rekindled, and she asked with some delight, "How much grain can you get?"

"I need to ask someone, right?"

He Yuzhu went into the inner room, picked up the phone and made a call. A moment later, he called Lü Xiaomi in.

"Can you get any food? How much?"

He Yuzhu nodded and said, "We can get some, but..."

Lü Xiaomi said, "Money is not the problem. The problem is that we have money but can't buy food."

Lü Xiaomi's older brother is named Lü Xiaobin. He got the grain out and sold it at the pigeon market for 5 yuan per kilogram, making tens of thousands of yuan.

The problem is that we can't get any old grain right now. Even if we make up the difference with money, it won't work. Food security is paramount, and the grain depot needs grain.

He Yuzhu said, "Didn't you say you weren't going to ask me for help anymore?"

"Why are you so petty? He was just joking with you casually, and you still remember it for so long."

As Lü Xiaomi spoke, she sat on He Yuzhu's lap, wrapped her arms around his neck, and gave him a sweet kiss.

At the same time, she took He Yuzhu's large hand and stuffed it between the two buttons, directly covering his snow-white breasts.

He Yuzhu weighed it in his hand for a moment, then asked with a smile, "Why do you seem to have gained a lot of weight recently?"

Lu Xiaomi's face was flushed as she exclaimed, "It's all because you massage me every day that it got all swollen up."

Chapter 334 Waiting for you after a thorough cleaning

He Yuzhu said, "So my massage has this effect? ​​I'll have to look into it."

Lü Xiaomi ignored He Yuzhu's unbuttoning and simply asked, "Can you really get the food?"

He Yuzhu said, "There is a batch of old grain, but you have to ask me for it."

Lü Xiaomi asked, "What do you suggest we do?"

"Of course, you should kneel down and beg me."

Lü Xiaomi immediately understood and exclaimed, "Even at a time like this, you're still thinking of messing with me!"
