Chapter 293: Mischief and Rumors
He Yuzhu didn't care at all about the kitchen helper's temptation or goodwill.

He made himself more cautious because he was afraid that he would go down the same old path of being foul-mouthed in his previous life and offend someone he shouldn't have offended.

In fact, throughout He Yuzhu's life in the steel rolling mill, as long as he did not make any mistakes, no one could target him.

Just like Master Huang, He Yuzhu waved his hand and everything disappeared without causing even a ripple.

There must be all kinds of arm wrestling here, but whose arms are as strong as those of Director Yang and Director Li?
As long as He Yuzhu follows these two big guys closely, he will have a safe journey.

He Yuzhu also flatters, but his flattery is based on the outstanding performance of his own work, which really hits the spot of the two big guys.

For example, during this period, He Yuzhu used different words to praise Director Yang and Director Li. He praised Director Yang less frequently, after all, the two had little contact.

Others all praised Director Yang for his great strategy and for bringing the steel mill to such a high level.

But He Yuzhu didn't exaggerate that much. He Yuzhu just occasionally mentioned the benefits that the construction under the leadership of Director Yang brought to the employees.

For example, if someone in the family has an acute illness, they can be saved because of the factory’s welfare system.

He Yuzhu boasted about such things without any burden, after all, they were all facts.

Director Yang was used to hearing empty talk, and occasionally when he heard some real "little things" that he had never cared about, he felt that He Yuzhu was very sincere.

In other words, He Yuzhu's flattery is focused on the small things in the factory and on ordinary people who enjoy the dividends of the times because of the development of the factory.

After hearing such praise for a long time, Director Yang and his colleagues left a lasting impression of He Yuzhu as a down-to-earth and honest person.

The same goes for Director Li. We should keep an eye on the things arranged by Director Li and see how they benefit ordinary workers.

This is also the reason why He Yuzhu said that the gossip in the factory might be directed at the leaders' treat, and Director Li had no doubt about He Yuzhu's words at all.

Therefore, character setting is very important.

Like what He Yuzhu did in the yard, he just destroyed the personalities of a few old guys.

Even if they wanted to stand again, there was no suitable angle to enter.

People say that human nature is forgetful, but that’s not true.

Just like after Yi Zhonghai's reputation as a good guy was ruined, even if it was restored, there would always be people who would inadvertently lift the veil of his disguise and expose his ugly past to the public.

You may have wasted a lot of effort, but a word of gossip from others can bring it all back to square one.

During this period, Yi Zhonghai had no time to care about his reputation.

The people he kept a close eye on during this period were Qin Huairu and the deaf old lady.

According to what Yi Zhonghai said to Luo Qiaoyun, Qin Huairu must be told to be on guard against the deaf old lady in the backyard.

This is the possibility for the Yi family to pass on their bloodline, and it is the future where someone will be able to offer regular offerings to them a hundred years later.

In this matter, the interests of the Jia and Yi families are the same.

If everything goes as Yi Zhonghai expected and Qin Huairu gives birth to a boy, the one who will suffer the most is the deaf old lady.

Until the deaf old lady can move, the Yi couple will not change their attitude towards her.

But when people get older, anything can happen. They might end up paralyzed in bed because of anything.

By that time, whether Yi Zhonghai and his wife could still serve her like their own children would have a lot to do with whether Qin Huairu was pregnant with a boy or a girl.

In short, if Qin Huairu gave birth to a son, she promised the Yi family to change his surname to Yi.

Then the retirement problem of the Yi couple will be solved.

The deaf old lady became redundant.

It’s no longer worth being exploited!
Like now, Yi Zhonghai and his wife are filial to the deaf old lady, and at least there is a need for Jia Dongxu to provide proofs.

In other words, no matter how they treat the deaf old lady, Jia Dongxu will at least not suffer too badly in the future.

So what Yi Zhonghai feared most was that the deaf old lady was doing something bad in there.

During this period, Luo Qiaoyun and Jia Zhang took over all of Qin Huairu's laundry duties.

The first time Qin Huairu married into a courtyard house, she enjoyed the benefits of having a mother-in-law.

Still two mothers-in-law.

You can say that the Jia and Yi families are too nervous, anyway, Qin Huairu is basically not allowed to go outside the courtyard. Even when Qin Huairu goes to the toilet, she has a mother-in-law to accompany her.

Is this thing useful?

Anyway, the deaf old lady was very angry.

She had already thought about causing trouble, but Yi Zhonghai blocked all the loopholes she could think of.

Unless the deaf old lady is tired of living and just forces her way in the yard.

Otherwise, you would basically have no contact with Qin Huairu.

For example, in the past, when it came to buying food and vegetables, now the two mothers-in-law take turns to do it.

All the important things were purchased by Jia Dongxu and Yi Zhonghai.

When the deaf old lady took a stroll in the central courtyard, Jia Zhang stared at her intently.

The deaf old lady was almost broken.

Even so, it still can't prevent some people from doing bad things.

There has been gossip in the alley recently, saying that looking at the shape of Qin Huairu's belly, she looks like a girl.

This kind of gossip naturally spread to the yard. Judging whether the baby is a boy or a girl by the shape of the belly is pseudoscience.

But when someone spreads gossip, naturally there will be people who look for evidence to justify that gossip.

Whether the belly is round or pointed, whether Qin Huairu tastes sour or spicy, there are always various reasons to prove it.

I don’t know about other things, but it is certain that Qin Huairu was upset.

It is certain that the Jia and Yi families were left in fear.

The key point is that there are rumors outside that, looking at the well-being of the Jia family and Jia Dongxu's face, he is destined to have only one son.

It’s better not to even have a daughter. Having one more daughter would make you lose half your life.

His fate can’t bear it!
This is a bit vicious.

The Yi and Jia families naturally wanted to trace the origin of this gossip.

After searching for a long time, they actually found the person named Fang, a blind man who used to tell fortunes on the street.

Jia Dongxu and Yi Zhonghai both went to find Blind Fang to settle the score. Blind Fang complained repeatedly, saying: "Master Yi, young Master Jia, I am a blind man and cannot even see people clearly. If you ask me to calculate an auspicious date and funeral taboos, I can tell you a thing or two.

Now the government doesn’t allow me to talk about it, and I’ve stopped doing this a long time ago.

How can I tell people’s faces?

Furthermore, every industry has its own rules, and the young and old men have been hanging around on the streets all their lives.

You should know my reputation as the blind man Fang. I don't care if my predictions are accurate or not. When have you ever heard me gossip about others?"

After these words were spoken, the master and disciple were speechless.

He could only clasp his fists, apologize, and leave leisurely.

Blind Fang heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the footsteps fade away.

But he was leaning on a blind stick, tapping the road lightly, and heading home.

When Blind Fang returned home, he fumbled for the teacup on the table and took a big gulp.

Mrs. Fang didn't greet him, only the sound of her working could be heard.

Blind Fang did not respond, but sat down by himself, then sighed and said: "This matter is over, and my wife and I have repaid the Fifth Master's kindness.

From now on, the two of us can live our lives in peace."
