Chapter 697 Braised Pork
Ran Qiuye looked at Gu Nan and suddenly stopped talking. She waved in front of Gu Nan's eyes and said, "Gu Nan, what are you thinking about? You are so engrossed in it."
Gu Nan continued the previous topic: "Qiu Ye, I'm not saying that I'm afraid of what Shi Wan and Lou Xiao'e will do. I really mean it. You should just resign."
Others may not know what is going to happen, but Gu Nan knows it clearly. That thing will happen this year, and the time is almost here. By then, Ran Qiuye will probably be bullied in school. With Ran Qiuye's strong and introverted personality, he will definitely not speak out when he is wronged. Gu Nan thought about it and thought it would be better to let Ran Qiuye resign now. After all, his own salary is not low, to be precise, it is quite high, enough to support the expenses of the entire family and let Ran Qiuye live a stable life.
Ran Qiuye sat aside, looking at Gu Nan with a puzzled look. Gu Nan also understood that it was indeed difficult for others to understand why he suddenly made such a request. He looked at Ran Qiuye, his eyes full of concern and seriousness, and said, "Qiuye, don't worry, and don't think I'm weird. You can call our dad tomorrow about this matter, and ask him about the situation outside, and see what he says, how about it?"
Although Ran Qiuye was full of doubts at the moment and really didn't understand why Gu Nan suddenly said that, looking at Gu Nan's serious look, she nodded gently and said, "Okay, I'll call my dad tomorrow to see what's going on outside and why he wants me to resign."
Gu Nan believed that his father-in-law, who had been working outside for many years and was well-informed, should understand why he wanted Ran Qiuye to resign. After all, although most ordinary people did not know about this kind of thing, some rumors could still be heard in some upper-class circles.
Gu Nan said no more, turned around and walked into the kitchen, and honestly brought up the prepared dishes one by one. He also washed a few fresh fruits and placed them in front of Ran Qiuye, and said gently: "Qiuye, eat quickly, we can talk about it tomorrow if there is anything, don't think too much about it for now."
Seeing Gu Nan like this, Ran Qiuye didn't take it to heart. She knew in her heart that Gu Nan would not harm her. Even if her father didn't know the situation, the worst that could happen was that she would just listen to Gu Nan's resignation.
On the other side, the Jia family was bustling with activity, and the Bang Geng was making a huge fuss. The aroma of braised pork from He Yuzhu's house was carried by the wind into the noses of everyone in the Jia family, making them extremely greedy. Although they didn't know what dishes Gu Nan's family was cooking, the aroma was equally tempting.
Bang Geng frowned, looked at the pickles on the table with disdain, and shouted to Qin Huairu: "Mom, I don't want to eat these crappy pickles, I want to eat delicious food, I want to eat meat!"
Qin Huairu felt helpless and subconsciously looked at Jia Zhangshi, hoping to ask her to persuade Bang Geng to stop making such a fuss. But unexpectedly, Jia Zhangshi just stood aside without saying a word, as if she didn't hear what Bang Geng said.
Qin Huairu immediately understood that none of this family was worry-free, they were all selfish. But she still patiently looked at Banggeng and said, "Banggeng, go by yourself, go to He Yuzhu's house and see if you can get some food."
Banggeng was about to leave, but suddenly he remembered He Yuzhu's fierce attitude towards him a few days ago. He felt a little scared. After hesitating for a while, he shook his head and said, "Mom, you should go. I'm afraid He Yuzhu will scold me again."
Qin Huairu looked in the direction of He Yuzhu's house, thinking about what to do. At this moment, she saw Yi Zhonghai walking towards He Yuzhu's house, her eyes suddenly lit up, a smug smile appeared on her face, and she said to Banggeng: "Banggeng, Yi Zhonghai is going there, he is a big boss, his words carry weight. If Yi Zhonghai convinces He Yuzhu, you will have meat to eat."
Although Banggeng didn't quite believe that Yi Zhonghai could convince He Yuzhu to give him meat, when he thought of the beautiful scene of having meat to eat, he shut his mouth and stopped making a fuss.
Qin Huairu looked at Yi Zhonghai's back and whispered, "Yi Zhonghai, you are the only one who has some hope in this matter. If you can't handle it, then our family will rely on you. Who told you to always act like you can handle everything, but in the end you are a useless waste."
Yi Zhonghai arrived at the door of He Yuzhu's house, and the rich aroma of meat filled his nose, making him swallow his saliva. He frowned and complained in his heart: "This He Yuzhu is really getting more and more unreasonable. He used to be filial to me and brought me some delicious food from time to time, but now it's all gone, and he doesn't even care about me, his uncle."
Yi Zhonghai knew that He Yuzhu had learned his lesson and would lock the door every time he ate. He had no choice but to stand outside, knock on the door, and said in a loud voice: "Zhuzi, I am Yi Zhonghai, open the door, I have something to say to you."
He Yuzhu and Lu Jia were having a good meal together. When he heard Yi Zhonghai's voice, he couldn't help but grumble, "It's really annoying. He didn't come earlier or later, but came at dinner time." As he spoke, he put a few pieces of meat in another bowl and said unhappily, "Who is he? He chose to come at this time. It's really a bummer."
Lu Jia knew that He Yuzhu was a little unhappy, so she looked at He Yuzhu and said, "Brother Zhuzi, why don't I go and talk to him? By then, Yi Zhonghai will be gone."
He Yuzhu knew that Lu Jia was concerned about him, so he smiled and said, "Lu Jia, how can I ask you to go to such a thing? I'll go, and you can eat here."
Lu Jia shook her head: "I'm waiting for you here. How can I eat if you don't come back?"
He Yuzhu was very happy and went out. Yi Zhonghai saw He Yuzhu coming out and originally wanted to go in. After all, some things are difficult to say outside. They can be said by himself in the house.
But He Yuzhu stopped Yi Zhonghai at once: "Uncle Yi, there are people at home, so don't go in. Let's talk outside if you have anything to say."
Yi Zhonghai looked at He Yuzhu angrily. You know, He Yuzhu would never treat him like this before: "Zhuzi, what's wrong with you recently? Have you found a new girlfriend and don't want to have any relationship with your neighbors in the courtyard anymore?"
He Yuzhu looked at Yi Zhonghai and didn't give him any face at all: "What have I done to make me want to end my relationship with Siheyuan? Do you need to tell me about it?"
Yi Zhonghai looked at He Yuzhu and said, "Zhuzi, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but now that you have something delicious, you know how to eat it."
