Chapter 31 Jia Dongxu wants to rise up

This is the first workshop of the steel rolling mill

Jia Dongxu brought a mug of hot tea to his master. Yi Zhonghai took it and sighed. How could such a young man not have the energy of a man?

"Dongxu, why are you so afraid of Ma Lan? Your mother worked so hard to raise you. It's not easy for Ma Lan to treat her elders like that! You need to be a little more manly...Are you going to be suppressed by her for the rest of your life?"

After Yi Zhonghai went back home, he felt that something was wrong. He could never let his elderly parents beat and scold his elders. If his own mother treated him like this, how could she treat him well in the future? He couldn't just let this go.

So Yi Zhonghai now began to urge Jia Dongxu to be tougher.

If it really doesn't work out, I can just divorce her and find a new one. I can't afford to lose my retirement plan. Jia Dongxu must marry a wife who is easy to handle...

Looking at her master's expression, Jia Zhang lowered her head and looked aggrieved like a child.

"Master, you don't know the situation of the Ma family. Ma Lan's three brothers all work in a slaughterhouse. They are more vicious than the other. I really don't dare to do that!"

Yi Zhonghai didn't expect Jia Dongxu to be so cowardly, and he was scared by his brothers-in-law.

"Look at Liu Haizhong, he has several brothers-in-law. Guang Qi's mother was beaten into submission, what can I say about you? Men should be tougher. Look at all the old ladies in the courtyard, who has never been beaten by a man? Even if I am unhappy with you, I can kick you at any time..."

When Jia Dongxu thought about how Liu Haizhong had beaten his wife over the years, he suddenly felt that what his master said made sense. That man didn't want to be treated like a master at home...

"Master, if I punish Ma Lan, can you protect me if the Ma family comes knocking on my door?"

Yi Zhonghai patted his chest when he saw that the boy was beginning to get the upper hand, "They don't dare to attack Siheyuan. This is a new society. If they dare to come, Master will back you up. We in Siheyuan are still very united... I guarantee that they will crawl out without returning."

With the encouragement from his master, Jia Dongxu felt that it was time for him to assert himself as a husband. He was so humiliated by Ma Lan last night that he wanted to find a hole to crawl into.

It would be fine if others called her Jia Sanbang, after all, she could argue. But she didn't expect that Ma Lan would actually say in front of everyone in the hospital that she was Cheng Yaojin's axe - just those three strokes.

Isn't this just stepping her husband into a quagmire? If Jia Dongxu hadn't been afraid of Ma Lan's family coming to her house, he would have wanted to slap his wife on the spot last night... It's so infuriating that a woman can't hold back her words.

"Okay, Master. I will discipline her when I get home today. It's not easy for me to raise her. She dared to beat up an elder just a few days after coming in. It's really outrageous."

After listening to this, Yi Zhonghai nodded with satisfaction... This kind of Jia Dongxu is what he wants most, and he will listen to whatever he says.

Lunch time

Lin Chen did not go to the canteen, but rushed back to the courtyard. He had to go to see his boss in the evening and didn't know when he would be back, so he had to inform Qin Huairu.

As soon as Lin Chen entered the alley, he met Jia Zhang coming out of the yard. The two looked at each other and ignored each other. It was good enough for enemies not to curse each other when they met, so how could they just laugh and pretend that nothing happened?

Jia Zhang didn't want to cook at noon, so she wanted to go to a restaurant to improve her diet. As soon as she left the alley, she ran into Lin Chen...

"If you don't work hard in the factory every day, how can you justify your 77 yuan salary?"

Lin Chen was thinking: "This old woman is cheating again! No wonder she's getting so fat. She's already started to cheat on the good food."

When Lin Chen returned home, Qin Huairu was eating steamed buns with the leftover mutton soup from last night.

"Hey, Lin Chen, why did you come back at noon? If I had known you were coming back, I would have prepared more food. Just wait and I'll give you something to eat now."

Qin Huairu felt inexplicably happy when she saw her man.

Lin Chen immediately held her back: "No need, I knew I wouldn't be able to catch up with you to cook. I brought back two hot braised pig's trotters! Let's eat one each."

Qin Huairu then noticed that the cloth bag in the other person's hand was bulging.

"I just want to taste it. I've already eaten a steamed bun and drank a bowl of mutton soup. I'm very full now..." Qin Huairu said while deliberately patting her stomach.

Lin Chen looked at her playful look and smiled: "Well, use a knife to cut it open like this. You eat half and save the other half for dinner. I came back just to inform you that I will be back a little later in the evening. Secretary Wan from the factory took me to a leader's house to check out his old illness..."

Qin Huairu nodded, took the two oil paper bags and went to the kitchen.

"I'll boil some hot water and wait for you to come back..."

Lin Chen laughed: "Burn more to make it smell good."

Just like that, the couple chatted and laughed while eating the braised pig's trotters that Lin Chen brought back...

Recently, Lin Chen has stored nearly a thousand kilograms of braised meat in his space, and he has also packed up the signature dishes of the major restaurants in Sijiu City...

In order to prevent others from becoming suspicious, Lin Chen would use the disguise technique in the Qing Nang book to give himself two injections to change his appearance every time... This way it would be much safer and would not attract attention.

Lin Chen thought that he and his family would not starve when the bills were implemented in the future, so he had to save more in the next two years. Anyway, whatever was put into the space would remain the same when it was taken out, and it would not deteriorate...

Now that I have the yellow croaker sponsored by Tu Beizi, I can eat it all for my entire lifetime.

Evening get off work time

At the gate of the steel rolling mill, Lin Chen waited for Secretary Wan.

"Xiao Lin, thank you for your help and for using your off-get off work time. The boss is really busy, so let's just treat it as overtime."

"As you should, it's understandable that the leader has a lot of work to do. Let's go and don't let the leader wait for us, that would be bad."

The two of them rode their bicycles to a government compound. Along the way, Secretary Wan reminded Lin Chen of some things that needed attention.

About half an hour

The two came to the door of the leader's house

"Xiao Lin, this is where it's up to you. I've already lifted you up, you have to seize the opportunity."

After Wan Guangmin introduced Lin Chen to his personal secretary, the two of them entered the courtyard.

In the study, Lin Chen met Minister Liu, the top leader of the Ministry of Metallurgy.

"Guangmin, is this young comrade the Comrade Lin Chen you mentioned? He is too young!"

Lin Chen was a twenty-year-old young man, and no one could tell that he was a doctor with outstanding medical skills. Especially now that he was dressed in casual clothes, he looked even less like one...

"Hello, Boss. I'm Lin Chen, the factory doctor at the steel mill. Nice to meet you."

Minister Liu saw that Lin Chen was in high spirits and said: "Okay, okay, since we are here, let's eat first. Then we can check after the meal..."

Lin Chen smiled and said, "Boss, why don't we get treatment first, because you will have a good appetite soon. We will also enjoy the meal..."

Minister Liu became interested. This young man was so confident.

"Comrade Lin Chen, are you so sure before you even check?"

Lin Chen nodded: "My family has been practicing Chinese medicine for generations. I started learning from my grandfather when I was five or six years old. I know everything about diagnosis and treatment based on observation, auscultation, interrogation and palpation. I was already half sure just by looking at the leader's complexion."

"Well, okay! Let's listen to the doctor and check first."

With the help of his personal secretary, the leader took off his shirt. Lin Chen could see through his X-ray vision that there were obvious suture scars from the surgery on the shoulder blade joint on the leader's back.

Through X-ray, Lin Chen discovered that some nerves and muscles in his left arm had atrophied, but for Lin Chen, only seven injections were needed to heal. However, the necessary process still had to be followed... How could he be cured in one go? It was only in his interest to make these people dependent on him, but what if they were to abandon him after crossing the river?

After a few minutes

Lin Chen took out a needle bag containing thirteen silver needles of different lengths.

"Boss, I've found the cause of the problem. Let's get started! It will only take two minutes..."

Minister Liu nodded to indicate that they could begin.

After Lin Chen gave his arm meridians three needles, he took out a patch of black jade ointment from his bag.

"Comrade, you can melt the ointment in a clean hot pan and take it back."

Xiao Wu, the personal secretary, took the plaster and went to the kitchen.

A few minutes later he came back with the hot ointment.

"Doctor Lin, do you think this is okay?"

"Well, yes."

Lin Chen took it and said: "Boss, it's a little hot, please bear with it."

Minister Liu laughed and said, "That's nothing!"

Lin Chen applied the plaster to the atrophied part of the opponent's muscles...
