Lying Low to Scavenge in the Courtyard

Zhang Weiguo transmigrates to that era of scarcity, a time of lacking clothes and food.

He is a decorated veteran who has been transferred to a position as the head of the purchasing departme...

Chapter 46 Ma Hua asks for help

By the time Ma Hua came out, Sha Zhu had already been locked up in a small dark room.

This was the news he heard from other people.

When Ma Hua heard the news, he planned to find Yi Zhonghai. He knew that Yi Zhonghai had a good relationship with his master, and that Yi Zhonghai was an eighth-level fitter and had some face in the factory.

So I came to find Yi Zhonghai to see if I could rescue Sha Zhu first.

When Qin Huairu heard Ma Hua's words, she felt like she was struck by lightning and her face turned pale.

However, she was not worried about Sha Zhu's safety. She didn't care what happened to Sha Zhu. What she cared about was that Sha Zhu was locked up. What would happen to her family's food?

This is her long-term meal ticket. Her family has been living a very comfortable life these days. Everyone is happy and has good food and drink. She can't bear to give up such a life.

When Ma Hua saw Qin Huairu’s pale face, he thought she was worried about her master’s safety.

That was a feeling of hunger and emotion.

If Ma Hua knew that I was coming, I wonder what Qin Huairu would think because she is not worried about Sha Zhu but just about the lunch box.

Qin Huairu hurriedly took Ma Hua to find Yi Zhonghai.

The news quickly spread throughout the courtyard, but no one sympathized with Sha Zhu.

Every time Sha Zhu brought back a lunch box, it was taken away by Qin Huairu. They didn't get any benefit at all. Now they heard that Sha Zhu was arrested, they were just happy.

If you can't get something, no one else can get it.

Tonight, the beasts in this courtyard will be busy.

When Zhang Weiguo returned home, Ran Qiuye also knew about this.

She originally felt quite sympathetic towards Qin Huairu, as it was not easy to raise three children alone.

But she gradually discovered that this was not the case. Now she had no feelings for the Jia family. Let alone a gangster, this guy was not a good person.

I am even more speechless about the education problems of the Jia family, but I still like Xiaodang very much, a cute little child.

When I have nothing to do, I will give Xiaodang some delicious food. But I hope he won’t become a kid like Banggeng.

Zhang Weiguo said: "Shazhu is courting death. Bringing some leftovers would be fine, but now he is bringing food from the small kitchen, all good stuff. How can others not be jealous?"

"Today I brought half a chicken, half a rabbit, and a box of braised pork. Who has so much food now?"

"With so many good things, how can others not be jealous?"

Ran Qiuye never thought that Sha Zhu would be so bold as to steal food from the factory.

Zhang Weiguo asked Ran Qiuye to call He Yushui, saying that this matter was not something she could control and so she should not get involved.

Ran Qiuye went to call He Yushui.

Zhang Weiguo started to cook. He knew that he would be uneasy tonight, so he didn't plan to cook anything delicious.

I just stir-fried some cabbage and potatoes and steamed buns made from two-grain flour.

I also cut two salted duck eggs.

When Yi Zhonghai heard the news that Sha Zhu was arrested, he was extremely anxious. He left early and knew nothing about Sha Zhu's affairs.

He immediately ran out of the house and asked Ma Hua what was going on?

"What's going on?"

Yi Zhonghai yelled directly, Sha Zhu is his pensioner, he will not watch anything happen to Sha Zhu.

Therefore, Yi Zhonghai spoke very loudly, which scared Ma Hua.

Knowing that Yi Zhonghai cares about his master, he will not be angry.

When Sha Zhu was arrested, Ma Hua was not at the scene and he had no idea what happened.

I could only tell Yi Zhonghai the news I heard from others.

After listening, Yi Zhonghai decided to go to the steel mill first to see what was going on.

Can you get Shazhu out first? The small dark room is not a place for people to stay. The environment is bad and they don’t even give us food.

Yi Zhonghai and Ma Hua rushed to the steel mill.

Qin Huairu returned home. Jia Zhang saw Qin Huairu with empty hands and asked what happened.

Qin Huairu said that Sha Zhu was arrested.

At this time, Jia Zhang frowned. She was certainly not concerned about Sha Zhu. She was concerned about what they were going to eat tonight since Sha Zhu was caught.

"This idiot is really stupid. He was caught even with some leftovers. It doesn't matter if he was caught, but we have to go hungry tonight."

Jia Zhang is indeed the number one ungrateful person, and she is still thinking about eating.

"Mom, stop talking. It's not good if others hear it. I'd better go steam some steamed buns to eat tonight." Qin Huairu didn't want others to hear it.

If other people heard this, they would definitely call the Jia family ungrateful.

Unlike the Jia family, Xu Damao laughed constantly.

He was the happiest today. When he heard that Sha Zhu was arrested, he was happier than during the Chinese New Year.

"This grandson of Shazhu really deserves it."

Lou Xiao'e, who was standing by, looked at Xu Damao who was almost going crazy with joy and said speechlessly, "Are you so happy that Sha Zhu was arrested?"

She didn't understand the grudge between Xu Damao and Sha Zhu at all, and was puzzled by Xu Damao's behavior.

"What do you know? This time, Sha Zhu is in trouble. Stealing food from the factory is a serious crime. Besides, the small dark room in the security department is not a place for people to stay. This time, Sha Zhu will definitely get a skin off."

"Lou Xiao'e, go fry two eggs for me. I want to have a good drink today."

He Yushui came to Zhang Wei's house, but she was still a little unhappy. After all, Sha Zhu was her brother, and she didn't want anything to happen to Sha Zhu.

But seeing that the Jia family didn't seem to be in a hurry at all, she felt that all Sha Zhu's things were wasted.

Zhang Weiguo saw the little girl and told her not to worry, because the old man would get the fool out.

Give the little girl another chicken leg.

Seeing that He Yushui had finished her meal, she asked Ran Qiuye to chat with the little girl.

The little girl has a very low presence in the courtyard. Sometimes even Sha Zhu doesn’t think about this little sister, let alone others.

In other words, Zhang Weiguo often gave the little girl some food, otherwise, the little girl would not even have enough to eat.

Now the little girl has hidden a lot of delicious food in her room, so at least she won’t go hungry like before.

Zhang Weiguo gave the little girl another ten yuan and asked her to buy some food.

Let Ran Qiuye bring some food and send the little girl back.

The deaf old lady lived alone in the backyard, so she was the last one to know about this.

When she learned that Sha Zhu was arrested, she hurried to find Yi Zhonghai.

When she arrived at Yi Zhonghai's house, she saw the aunt at home alone. When she learned that Yi Zhonghai had gone to the steel mill, she felt relieved.

Sha Zhu is her eldest grandson, and she can’t let anything happen to him.

Just as the aunt was comforting the old lady, Yi Zhonghai came back tired.

"Zhonghai, what's going on? Where's the pillar?"

Seeing Yi Zhonghai, the deaf old lady asked hurriedly.

"Alas, I went to the security department just now, but I didn't see anyone. The security department wouldn't let anyone see me. I plan to go to Deputy Director Li tomorrow to see what's going on and get the pillar out first."

"Will this work?" The old lady was a little worried.

"Don't worry, old lady. Zhuzi's ingredients are good and his cooking skills are even better. The factory's reception still needs Zhuzi to cook. The factory won't make it difficult for Zhuzi."
