Chapter 106 Follow Dad to Pay the Bill
Zhang Cuihua was so angry that she gasped for breath.
Old man Zhang beside her had a grim look on his face. As Zhang Haiyan's immediate superior, he learned the news from the director of women's affairs this morning.
He recalled the expression of the women's director and became filled with anger. He even felt that the other party's polite smile was a mockery of his incompetence.
Originally, Yu Zhile and the other person were walking opposite them.
After passing each other, she pulled Chen Zhao around a corner and followed behind them, keeping a certain distance so that she could just hear what they were saying.
"Sister, is this called stalking?" Chen Zhao felt curious and spoke in a whisper.
Yu Zhile made a zipper-like gesture to him, which made him even more excited.
"Old lady, we can't let that hen that doesn't lay eggs take advantage of us." Old man Zhang became more and more angry, and began to have bad intentions. "We have to get back the money from selling our work and the sewing machine."
Zhang Cuihua curled her lips quietly and asked, "How do we get it? Didn't you see how the two police officers treated her brother? They were afraid that we would never come back and become a laughing stock among the neighbors."
"I've inquired about it. That man is not her biological brother. He hasn't retired yet and should be returning to the army soon." Old man Zhang struck a match, lit a cigarette, and a sinister look flashed in his eyes.
Zhang Cuihua asked: "Have you come up with an idea?"
“When the time comes, you can go directly to Haiyu Village to make trouble. Country people care about face the most. Your ex-in-law is the village chief, so he certainly doesn’t want to lose face and have to beg us for money.” Old man Zhang chuckled.
"Old man, you're really quick-witted." Zhang Cuihua laughed in the same tone, her voice rising, "We must get our things back, and make it so that Zhang Haiyan can't live in Haiyu Village anymore."
Old man Zhang tilted his head back slightly as he smoked, with a sinister grin on his face.
After hearing their plan, Yu Zhile grabbed Chen Zhao and asked him to stop and watch Zhang Cuihua and her husband walk further and further away.
"I'm so angry, how can there be such bad people?" Chen Zhao said angrily, "I really want to beat them up so badly that their faces are bruised and their noses are swollen."
When he heard the words Haiyu Village and Zhang Haiyan, he guessed the identities of the two people. He didn't expect them to be so vicious.
"Don't be angry. Evildoers will be punished." Yu Zhile calmed him down. "Aunt Zhang will take care of it."
Hearing this, Chen Zhao pulled Yu Zhile and walked quickly towards the state-owned restaurant, saying, "Then we have to hurry back to the village and tell Zhang Xiaogu and Zhang Wenxin about this, so that they can be prepared."
"Go, go, go." Yu Zhile responded repeatedly, matching his pace.
At this time, more and more people came to the state-owned restaurant, gathering around the counter to taste the pickled pepper crucian carp that had just come out of the pot and praising it.
"Third brother, this dish is good and appetizing. I can eat three big bowls of rice now."
"Yes, eating something sour and spicy in the summer will improve your appetite."
Hu Laosan smiled cheerfully: "As long as everyone likes the food, it's fine. If you think there is anything missing, feel free to let us know."
"The only downside is that we can't have a whole pot today." Someone replied, "Can't we serve new dishes today?"
Hu Laosan smiled innocently without saying anything. He signaled Hu Lan with his eyes to continue inviting guests to taste the dishes, and then slipped back to the kitchen.
He would rather cut up the meat of ten chickens than listen to everyone urging him to buy new ones immediately. He was almost getting calluses on his ears from hearing so much.
"Brother Hu San, I'm back." Yu Zhile walked into the kitchen.
Hu Laosan quickly took off the last piece of meat, wrapped the chicken rack and chopped bones in oil paper, and handed them to her.
"Thanks. Next week I'll ask Ge Tai to send two portions of fish meal for you to try." Yu Zhile said with a smile.
She planned to complete the handover of the food stall in the next few days and teach Zhang Haizhu how to make spicy fish noodles tonight.
"Why are you being so polite?" Hu Laosan waved his hand. "The new window in the store still depends on you to train talents. If you have any requests, just let me know."
Yu Zhile nodded, said goodbye to him, and set off back to the village.
The wooden barrels on the cart were emptied and the speed of the ox cart increased a lot.
The three of them chatted and laughed, and soon returned to the village.
It was noon, the sun was shining brightly, and the weeds on both sides of the road were wilted by the sun.
The car stopped in front of Zhang's house and Yu Zhile got out.
"Chu Yue, notify the people in the sideline group to come to my house for a small meeting in the evening." She looked at Yu Chu Yue and handed the oil paper bag to Chen Zhao, "Xiao Zhao, take this home and hang it in the well."
Yu Chuyue and Chen Zhao nodded in unison.
So the three of them parted ways. Yu Chuyue drove home, Chen Zhao took the oil paper bag back to the courtyard, and Yu Zhile knocked on the Zhang family's door.
The gate was not closed tightly. It opened a crack when I knocked on it, and I could see figures moving inside.
"Who is it? Just come in." Zhang Wenxin said loudly while setting the table.
Yu Zhile pushed the door open and saw Ge Tai walking out of the kitchen.
In his hand he was holding Zhang Wenxin's favorite dish.
"Le Le, you're back?" Zhang Wenxin turned around and saw her, and asked in surprise, "Are you looking for me? Is there anything you want to discuss?"
Yu Zhile first greeted the elders, then looked at her, and finally his eyes fell on Zhang Haiyan's door.
Then she said, "Didn't I ask my sister-in-law to make me a dress last time? I want to know how long it will take to finish it."
The two of them have been together day and night and have already developed a tacit understanding.
Although Zhang Wenxin was puzzled, she took over the topic: "I'm not sure. I'll take you to ask my aunt."
"Xinxin, we'll be ready to eat soon." Grandma Zhang said with a kind smile, "After you ask, call my aunt out to eat."
"Okay." Zhang Wenxin responded, took Yu Zhile's hand and went forward to knock on the door.
With Zhang Haiyan's permission, the two pushed the door open and entered the room, and saw Zhang Haiyan bending over to draw lines on the cloth.
"Hey? Lele is here?" Zhang Haiyan looked up and greeted.
Yu Zhile turned around and closed the door, saying, "Aunt, Zhang Cuihua and the others are planning to come to the village to cause trouble."
Then, she told Zhang Haiyan everything that Zhang Cuihua and her husband had said.
"How shameless." Zhang Wenxin was furious and suggested, "Aunt, let's report it to the police and let them punish these scoundrels."
"They want to force me to death." Zhang Haiyan smiled sadly.
Zhang Wenxin held her hand and said, "Don't be afraid, little aunt, you have us, we will all support you."
Zhang Haiyan patted her hands, looked into the void, his eyes gradually becoming firm.
The three of them didn't stay in the house for too long and went out together.
The Zhang family enthusiastically invited Yu Zhile to have dinner with them, but Yu Zhile politely declined, not forgetting to remind Zhang Wenxin and Ge Tai to go to the meeting.
Before leaving, she glanced at Ge Tai, who was covered in oil smoke, and then looked at Zhang Wenxin, who was gritting her back teeth, and raised her eyebrows.
When he returned to the courtyard, Yu Zhile saw that the door of the house where Hu Qulian and Xiao Hu lived was open, and Xiao Hu was scratching his head while packing his luggage.
During the free clinic period, in addition to fresh fruits and vegetables, Teacher Hu also received a lot of local specialties, which took quite a lot of effort to organize.
"Teacher Hu just checked Xiao Zhao's pulse and said he's fine, so we plan to leave tomorrow." Yu Haiguang took Yu Zhile to the swing, "She's going to the bullpen to check on other people now."
The father and daughter sat down on the swing and fell into silence.
After a long while, Yu Zhile said: "If they find out that I am different——"
"They won't know." Yu Haiguang interrupted her, his tone firm, "Never, ever."
"Well, I believe you." Yu Zhile smiled.
"Don't worry about Yue Sheng's matter. The investigation process is very complicated. He is safe until the results come out." Yu Haiguang changed the subject, "We have discussed it. You will still celebrate your birthday in the provincial capital this year. Go shopping in the department store and buy whatever you want. Dad will pay for it."
"Oh." Yu Zhile stretched out his voice and smiled, "You hide your private money."
Yu Haiguang rubbed her hair vigorously and said with a smile: "I will tell you where Zhou Yuesheng hides his private money later."
"Dad, you're changing the subject so abruptly." Yu Zhile leaned his head on his shoulder and felt much more at ease.
Yu Wanqin's voice sounded: "What topic do you want to change?"
"Dad just said that Mom is getting more and more beautiful." Yu Zhile said with a smile.
Yu Chi climbed into Yu Zhile's arms and imitated her words: "Mom, you are beautiful, beautiful."
The next second, Yu Haiguang was pulled into the house by Yu Wanqin's ear, and the brother and sister could vaguely hear Yu Wanqin's voice.
"What nonsense are you talking about with the child?"
"You're in your forties, but you're still so smooth-talking—"
Yu Zhile pinched the soft flesh on Yu Chi's face and said, "Xiaobao, sister will take you on the swing, okay?"
"Okay, let's swing." Yu Chi's eyes narrowed into a line with a smile.
Before Yu Zhile could put in any effort, he suddenly felt the chair become heavier. He turned his head and saw Yu Yue.
"I want to swing on the swing too." Yu Yue looked straight ahead and said seriously.
Yu Zhile burst out laughing and said, "Okay, then let's all work together, one, two, three."
The swing began to swing, making a creaking sound.
At that time, there happened to be a breeze blowing by, making the leaves rustle and the hair of the three siblings flying.
The crisp laughter echoed in the yard for a long time.
Afterwards, the three siblings went back to the house for a nap, and the only sounds in the yard were the chirping of cicadas and Xiao Hu's sighs.
Yu Zhile did not fall asleep immediately. He bought ingredients in the mall as usual, entered the simulation space and cooked for more than half an hour before falling into a deep sleep.
When she woke up, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon.
In the yard, everyone was doing their own thing and the atmosphere was warm and harmonious.
Yu Zhile had a smile on his face, watching Yu Chi and Papa catching butterflies with interest.
Soon the agreed time arrived, and all the members of the sideline group gathered in the Yu family courtyard.
"The main purpose of today's meeting is to hand over the food stalls at the market." Yu Zhile opened the notebook, "Before we start, let me first give a summary of this month's work."
Her words made everyone straighten their backs unconsciously.
Yu Zhile first told them the total profit of the stall, and then pointed out the strengths and weaknesses of each person one by one.
Everyone listened very carefully and silently wrote down every word she said.
"Starting today, Wenxin, Ge Tai, and Haimei will no longer be in charge of the food stall. Haizhu will be the new person in charge." Yu Zhile announced the news.
As soon as she finished speaking, everyone looked at each other.
They thought that after the handover, Ge Tai or Zhang Haimei would become the overall person in charge.
