The moment the old lady appeared, the previously favorable situation immediately changed. The onlookers echoed her sentiments, for they too were afraid. In this day and age, no one was wealthy, and they were all afraid of being the next victim.
Ma Hua remained silent, simply pushing his cart towards the courtyard house entrance. Further words were pointless; he'd just have to wait for the showdown that evening. Ma Hua knew all too well the beasts in the courtyard house. They'd remain indifferent if it didn't concern them, but when it came to matters of interest…
When Ma Hua finished eating at his mother's and rushed to the steel rolling mill, he saw a crowd gathered around the bulletin board at the entrance. Looking up, Ma Hua saw a large red notice on the bulletin board announcing the recipients of the steel rolling mill's Outstanding Craftsman Award.
Ma Hua clicked his tongue twice, thinking to himself that Li Huaide was really quick to act and kept his word. He truly deserved to be the biggest boss who had the last laugh.
Just as MCA was about to ride away, he suddenly felt someone tap his shoulder.
Ma Hua was somewhat surprised and turned around to see a youthful and beautiful face before him. Two small braids swayed on either side of her face, making her appear even more youthful and beautiful. She wore a fitted white dress that made her stand out in the crowd.
Ma Hua thought to himself, "Isn't this Yu Haitang? I don't even know her well." Ma Hua glared at Yu Haitang, then rode away on his bike. He couldn't afford to get involved with this woman; she'd been flattered so much that she'd become arrogant and ignorant, calling herself the "factory beauty."
How many girls are there in a steel rolling mill? If you were the most beautiful girl in a textile factory, that would be fine, but in a steel rolling mill, forget it. Only Yu Qinhuairu is still a widow in her old age. Otherwise, Yu Haitang? Who does she think she is?
Yu Haitang was utterly stunned by Ma Hua's actions. Staring blankly at his departing figure, she was secretly furious. She was the factory's most beautiful girl! He'd even come over to chat her up, and he just turned away after a single glance, ignoring her completely. Who did he think he was?
"If I hadn't heard you were a level six chef with a high salary, I wouldn't have come. Humph, if you don't want to talk to me, fine, I don't care anyway." Thinking this, Yu Haitang immediately turned and left haughtily. "There are plenty of people chasing after me..."
If Ma Hua knew what Yu Haitang was thinking, he'd probably nod frantically, "Yes, yes, yes, I, Ma Hua, am not good enough for you. Please don't come looking for me! That woman, Yu Haitang, is a restless time bomb; she might explode at any moment."
Ever since the kitchen staff discovered that Ma Hua's promise to teach skills wasn't just empty talk—they actually started teaching practical skills—they've been practically worshipping him. Now, whatever Ma Hua does, people are scrambling to do it for him. He's practically a saint!
Now, MCA is like a wealthy landlord in the kitchen. He does everything himself except cook, while the kitchen staff takes care of everything else. MCA is happy to relax and leisurely wander around the canteen, giving instructions to everyone.
The atmosphere in the kitchen is exceptionally harmonious now, except for Fatty. Fatty's in a terrible situation lately; he's doing all the dirty and hard work by himself.
Seeing this, Ma Hua didn't say anything. The fat man was just doing the work he had done before, it was no big deal. Hadn't he been doing the same thing all these years?
However, MCA put more effort into teaching others, and they reciprocated with kindness.
The day passed quickly, and as the end-of-get off work music played, a massive wave of workers surged towards the factory gate. Ma Hua, standing among them, was overwhelmed with emotion; he'd never seen anything like it before. It was so spectacular! If only he had a camera to record it.
When Ma Hua finished his meal and happily arrived at the courtyard house, he saw a large group of people sitting in the front yard as soon as he entered. There was a table near the door, and as usual, three old men were sitting at the table.
Yi Zhonghai's sullen face was so dark it seemed like it was about to drip water. When he saw Ma Hua return, he immediately stood up and scolded, "Ma Hua, what have you been doing? Don't you know there's a meeting in the compound tonight?"
"I know, I'm back now. What's up, sir? Did you find the coal that was stolen from my house?" Ma Hua really thought Yi Zhonghai was crazy. This was a meeting in the courtyard, what was going on? It was like the United Nations General Assembly!
“Ma Hua, do you know that the entire hospital is waiting for you? There’s no organization, no record. Why aren’t you going home after get off work? What are you doing there?” Yi Zhonghai sneered.
"Waiting for me? What for? Weren't we supposed to be in a meeting? What are you dawdling around for? Besides, you, Yi Zhonghai, didn't say what time the meeting would be. We need to go out for dinner after get off work, don't we?"
Seeing Yi Zhonghai's attitude, Ma Hua became furious and directly and mercilessly rebuked him.
“Ma Hua, don’t get so angry. This is something we didn’t consider. Our meeting is at seven o’clock. Just remember to be on time next time,” Yan Bugui said with a laugh.
“Uncle, did you hear that? Uncle San spoke so well. Unlike some people, who are still nagging without even being notified. But Teacher Yan, what you said is true. If young people aren't spirited, are they still young? Don't you agree with me?” Ma Hua said to Yan Bugui with a smile.
Yan Bugui's face darkened. "Who am I? Why did I speak just now? This Ma Hua brat, are you trying to kill me? I don't want to offend Yi Zhonghai." Thinking this, Yan Bugui took off his glasses, put them in his hand, and remained silent.
"Old Yi, let's continue the meeting. Ma Hua, you should come over here too," Liu Haizhong chuckled to himself. Yi Zhonghai, you've finally met your match.
Yi Zhonghai, his face ashen, glared at Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui before continuing, "Recently, several unpleasant incidents have occurred in our courtyard. If any child is being mischievous, they can step forward, and we will let bygones be bygones."
Give him another chance. If we find out, then I'm sorry, but don't blame me for being ruthless.
