Jia Dongxu felt like his brain was short-circuiting, unable to sort things out.
He clenched his fists.
It was neither right to say nor to remain silent.
Yi Zhonghai frowned.
He couldn't let Bu Xiangdong sow discord any further.
Otherwise, a good couple—
would end up with their family torn apart by Bu Xiangdong.
“Dongzi!”
“Don’t shout, just say what you need.”
“You weren’t like this before.”
Yi Zhonghai said with a deep tone, “In the past, you were always amicable. I don’t know what’s happened to you in the past half month. But what you’re doing now is wrong!”
“You said it yourself, that was in the past. I have my own principles, and I don’t want to be trampled on for a lifetime. Do you really think I’m just a coward?”
“I’ve been avoiding and enduring for so many years just to wait for an opportunity. I want to fight back. It’s not about proving I’m better than others; I want to tell them that what belongs to me, I will definitely get back!”
Everyone was taken aback.
It felt as if something terrifying had been unleashed.
Xu Damao smacked his lips, “Tsk, this guy is about to take over the factory, he’s different now.”
Everyone suddenly understood.
What Bu Xiangdong meant by getting back what belonged to him was that he was going to take over, and the Jia family wouldn’t succeed.
Yi Zhonghai’s patience was top-notch.
Even though he was furious inside,
he still maintained a facade of propriety.
“You can’t just think about yourself. Anyway, you’re unemployed, so you won’t starve, right?”
“Uncle, you’re not without reason when you say that. You’ve been incredibly ungrateful.”
“Nonsense! Bu Xiangdong, do you even know what you’re saying?!”
“I know, but do you know what you’re saying?”
Yi Zhonghai’s neck muscles bulged.
If it weren’t for the public setting, he would have been tempted to strike.
................
“You’ve got guts! Dongzi!”
“Dongzi is already dead; you chose this, Uncle. I’m taking over the factory, and it’s useless to persuade me. That’s what I said.”
“I’ve told you before, I’ll help you find a way later. Let Huairu take over first; she needs a job.”
Yi Zhonghai maintained his usual moral coercion.
The original owner had been tricked many times.
Eventually, he couldn’t take it anymore and hid away.
He could only wander around with Fatty Hu Bayi, looking for food.
As a result, Bu Xiangdong had previously become an inconspicuous resident of the courtyard.
“Hehe... Uncle, saying that makes it sound like you did the right thing?”
Bu Xiangdong sneered and took a step back.
“You want to help Qin Huairu get a job! Make the Jia family a dual-income household! Their living pressure would indeed lessen! You, Yi Zhonghai, would have done a good deed! But why do you have to trick me? Why is it me who suffers?”
“In the five years since your parents passed, haven’t you been fine? You actually don’t need this job.”
“Who says I don’t need it! Five years, five years, do you know how I’ve lived through these five years? Do you know?”
“……”
Yi Zhonghai’s face turned ugly from the rebuttal.
He didn’t expect Bu Xiangdong to be so tough today.
“Enough, Bu Xiangdong. Why are you yelling at Uncle? He’s right; you’re too selfish.”
He Yuzhu stepped forward, standing between Bu Xiangdong and Yi Zhonghai.
“He’s not wrong; am I wrong then? You think you’re so great! You’re so high and mighty, and now you think you have a say?”
“Hey, kid, what’s wrong with me speaking? Don’t be ungrateful, do you want to get beaten?”
“Hehe, you’re lucky because your dad is still around. No one is plotting against you, but that won’t last long.”
He Daqing was still the chef at the steel mill, while He Yuzhu was just a kitchen apprentice.
The men in the He family were all sycophants; widows would leave, and the He family would be finished, it was just a matter of time.
“Damn! Are you looking for death?”
“Fool, let him go!”
.......................
He Yuzhu was a hot-headed youth.
But Yi Zhonghai remained clear-headed.
If he publicly beat up Bu Xiangdong today, wouldn’t that mean Shi Chui and the others were bullying him?
In that case, everyone would stand with Bu Xiangdong, and their entire plan would be ruined.
He Yuzhu widened his eyes and made a fierce remark, “Kid, we’re not done yet.”
“Fool, the story is just beginning! But you’d better keep a close eye on your own father.”
He Yuzhu: “……”
Is my dad really a problem?
[Host successfully sowed discord, reward granted!]
[Ding, congratulations to the host for receiving one wasp nest!]
[Default option, resources stored in system space!]
The entire courtyard was waiting for the spectacle.
The previous Bu Xiangdong was weak or perhaps just endured, and he had no presence.
But in the past half month, everyone had seen Bu Xiangdong’s changes and sharpness.
And this spectacle, was it Bu Xiangdong or Yi Zhonghai and the Jia family?
The onlookers were eagerly watching!
To avoid any unforeseen changes,
Bu Xiangdong hurried to the factory!
The next day, as the steel mill just started work—
Bu Xiangdong took his household registration book and the job proof from his family to the factory.
The original owner’s biological father was a fitter, and an accident left behind a position.
He wasn’t clear on the specific reasons now.
It seemed that the original owner’s memories were also unclear, even the compensation wasn’t well known.
This matter was a bit uncertain!
At the steel mill’s office.
After verifying his identity, with a stamp, Bu Xiangdong’s work proof was completed.
“Welcome Comrade Bu Xiangdong to join the workers’ collective!”
“Long live the workers!”
“Your work station is in the first fitter workshop. Oh, Master Yi Zhonghai from your courtyard is in that workshop.”
