Siheyuan: Sap is the last word

Chapter 1058 He hit me!

He Yudong then spoke slowly: "Chief Li, the matter is very simple. This little bastard wanted to snatch my lunch box, and when I refused to give it to him, he started crying, and then this old woman came over and threw a tantrum, accusing me of hitting people. I swear to God, I didn't even touch them."

"You're talking nonsense!" Jia Zhang jumped up and pointed at He Yudong's nose and cursed, "You're a bastard! You dare to do it but you don't dare to take responsibility! You just got beaten up! I saw it with my own eyes!"

Bang Geng was also crying and shouting, "Uncle Shazhu, he hit me! He hit me!"

The workers around were talking about it. Some believed what Jia Zhang said, while others felt that He Yudong was not the kind of person who would beat a child.

Li Weimin was also a little undecided. He looked at He Yudong and asked in a deep voice, "He Yudong, you really didn't hit anyone?"

He Yudong shrugged his shoulders. "I, He Yudong, am upright and have nothing to fear. If I really hit someone, I am willing to accept any punishment from the factory. However, if I didn't hit anyone, I hope Jia Zhang and Bang Geng will apologize to me!"

When Jia Zhang heard this, she was immediately furious: "Apologize? You're dreaming! Why should my good grandson apologize to you! You are a bastard, you..."

He Yudong interrupted her before she finished speaking: "Chief Li, since Jia Zhang is unwilling to apologize, let's call the police. Let the police investigate and find out who is lying."

When Jia Zhang heard that they were going to call the police, she panicked. She knew that Bang Geng had not been beaten at all, and if she really called the police, she would be in big trouble.

"No... no need to call the police!" Jia Zhang said quickly, "I... we apologize! We apologize to Comrade He Yudong!"

Although Bang Geng was reluctant, under the pressure of Jia Zhang, he also mumbled a few words of apology.

He Yudong nodded with satisfaction: "Since you have apologized, let it go. However, I still want to remind Jia Zhangshi to take good care of your grandson in the future and don't let him cause trouble again."

After saying that, He Yudong picked up the lunch box, turned around and left.

Li Weimin looked at He Yudong's back, with a hint of admiration in his eyes. Although He Yudong looked careless at ordinary times, he was quite responsible at critical moments.

Jia Zhang looked at He Yudong's receding back, her eyes full of resentment. She secretly vowed to find an opportunity to teach He Yudong a lesson!

He Yudong returned to his workstation and opened his lunch box. The aroma filled his nose. He picked up a piece of braised pork, put it in his mouth, and savored it carefully.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the random task: Slap Jia Zhang in the face. Reward: Advanced Cooking Skill Book."

The system's voice sounded in He Yudong's mind.

He Yudong's mouth curled up slightly. With the advanced cooking skill book, he can now make even more delicious dishes.

In the next few days, He Yudong continued to work as usual, but occasionally he would practice his newly learned cooking skills in the Lingquan space.

At noon that day, He Yudong went to the canteen to get food as usual. As soon as he got to the front of the line, he saw Qin Huairu standing there with an anxious look on her face.

"Huai Ru, what's wrong?" He Yudong asked with concern.

When Qin Huairu saw He Yudong, she felt like she saw a savior and said quickly, "Yudong, I...my mother-in-law is sick, I want to ask you for help..."

He Yudong sneered in his heart. Qin Huairu was planning to take advantage of him again.

"Your mother-in-law is sick, what does it have to do with me?" He Yudong said coldly.

Qin Huairu burst into tears: "Yudong, I know I was wrong before, I shouldn't have treated you like that. But my mother-in-law is really seriously ill, please help me."

He Yudong looked at Qin Huairu, whose face was filled with tears, and he felt a little shaken.

"Ding! Triggering a random task: Help Qin Huairu, reward: Mysterious gift bag."

The system's voice sounded in He Yudong's mind.

He Yudong's heart was moved. A mysterious gift package? What could it be?

He looked at Qin Huairu with a playful smile on his face: "Huairu, you can ask me to help you, but you have to agree to one condition..."

Qin Huairu raised her head, looked at He Yudong with tears in her eyes, and asked nervously: "What...what conditions?"

He Yudong leaned close to Qin Huairu's ear and whispered, "Come to my room tonight..."

He Yudong sneered. The system came at the right time! Advanced cooking skill book? With it, Sha Zhu is nothing!

"Chief Li, this is what happened..." He Yudong spoke slowly, deliberately lengthening his voice to whet everyone's appetite. "I was getting lunch today, and this little bastard..." He pointed at Banggeng, "insisted on snatching my meat. When I refused to give it to him, he started crying, and then his grandmother came over and made a scene, saying that I was bullying them, an orphan and a widow."

When Jia Zhang heard this, she immediately jumped up and down: "You are talking nonsense! It was obviously you who pushed the stick first! You are such a black-hearted person that you even didn't let the child go!"

He Yudong sneered disdainfully: "I pushed him? Did I touch him with a finger? Everyone is watching, who saw me push him?"

The workers around looked at each other, no one dared to speak. Jia Zhang was well-known in the factory for her aggressiveness, and no one wanted to get into trouble.

He Yudong saw through everyone's thoughts and felt even more proud. He looked around and raised his voice: "My fellow workers, you are all veterans of the factory, and you should know what kind of person Jia Zhang is. She is idle all day long, lazy and only knows how to take advantage of others. Her son Bang Geng has learned to steal and lie at a young age. If I don't teach him a lesson today, I don't know how many people he will harm in the future!"

Jia Zhang's face turned pale and blue after hearing what He Yudong said. She pointed at his nose and cursed, "You little beast! How dare you slander us! I will fight you!" As she said that, she was about to pounce on He Yudong and hit him.

He Yudong was prepared and dodged Jia Zhang's attack. He sneered, "Old hag, you want to fight? I'll fight you to the end!"

Seeing this, Li Weimin hurried forward to stop Jia Zhang: "Jia Zhang, calm down! This is a factory, not a vegetable market! If you have anything to say, talk about it!"

Jia Zhang was not willing to listen, and continued to throw a tantrum: "I will not live any longer! This life is unbearable! Everyone, please come and judge, this He Yudong bullies us, an orphan and a widow..."

He Yudong looked at Jia Zhang's ugly appearance and felt disgusted. He decided not to waste words with her and just used his ultimate move.

"Chief Li," He Yudong turned to Li Weimin and said sincerely, "I admit that my attitude just now was a bit bad. But I also have my difficulties. I am a bachelor, and I only get a small salary every month, and I have to support myself. Jia Zhang and Bang Geng come to me for food every few days, how can I afford to feed them? Today's matter, in the final analysis, is all about the word 'money'."

Li Weimin nodded, expressing his understanding: "He Yudong, I know your difficulties. However, Jia Zhang and Bang Geng are the families of martyrs after all, and we should take better care of them."

He Yudong sneered in his heart, take care? If this old hag and Bang Geng are the relatives of martyrs, then everyone in the world is the family of martyrs!

"Chief Li, you are right. We should take care of the families of martyrs. However, care does not mean indulgence. The behavior of Jia Zhang and Bang Geng has seriously affected my normal life. I suggest that the factory should provide them with some education and help so that they can learn to be self-reliant instead of relying on others blindly."

When Jia Zhang heard this, she immediately went berserk: "He Yudong! You are such a ruthless person! You actually want to kick us out! I will fight you!"

He Yudong took out a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to Li Weimin. "Chief Li, this is a report letter I wrote. It records in detail what Jia Zhang and Bang Geng have done over the years, including stealing materials from the factory, blackmailing workers, and even..." He paused deliberately and lowered his voice, "and they also resold bills privately to make huge profits."

The whole audience was shocked when this was said. Scalping bills was a serious crime, and once it was proven, the person would be punished!

Jia Zhang's face turned pale instantly, and she pointed at He Yudong with trembling fingers: "You...you are slandering me! You are slandering me! I will sue you!"

He Yudong sneered: "Slander? I have witnesses and evidence! Do you dare to confront me face to face?"

Jia Zhang was speechless. She knew in her heart that what He Yudong said was true. She had indeed done a lot of shameful things over the years, but she didn't expect that He Yudong actually had so much evidence.

Li Weimin took the report letter, read it carefully, and his face became serious. He looked up at Jia Zhang and asked in a deep voice: "Jia Zhang, is what He Yudong said true?"

Jia Zhang opened her mouth but could not say anything. She knew she was finished.

At this moment, a voice suddenly rang out from the crowd: "Chief Li, I know about Jia Zhang's reselling of bills! I saw her trading with a black market dealer with my own eyes!"

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a thin man walking out of the crowd. This man was the accountant of the steel mill, named Liu Haizhong.

Liu Haizhong walked up to Li Weimin and told him everything about Jia Zhang's reselling of bills.

Jia Zhang was completely panicked. She pointed at Liu Haizhong and shouted hysterically: "Liu Haizhong! You bastard! How dare you betray me! I will fight you!"

She rushed towards Liu Haizhong, but was stopped by Li Weimin.

"Jia Zhang," Li Weimin said in a cold tone, "You are suspected of reselling bills. I am now formally arresting you!"

Jia Zhang slumped on the ground with empty eyes, as if she had lost her soul.

When Banggeng saw his grandmother being caught, he was so scared that he burst into tears.

He Yudong watched all this without any mercy in his heart. He smiled coldly and turned away.

When he reached the entrance of the cafeteria, He Yudong suddenly stopped. He thought of the advanced cooking skill book rewarded by the system, and a wicked smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Silly Zhu, your good days are over!

The next day, He Yudong came to the cafeteria early. He walked straight to Sha Zhu and said contemptuously, "Sha Zhu, I'll be the chef today."

He Yudong watched Sha Zhu's facial muscles twitch, feeling uncomfortable as if he had swallowed a fly, and felt extremely happy. Sha Zhu stiffened his neck and said after a long while: "Why? I have always been the chef in this cafeteria!"

He Yudong sneered: "Why? Because I cook better than you! The factory wants a cook, not a useless culinary expert who can only cook big pot meals!" As he said that, he took out a brand new cookbook from his pocket, which was the advanced cooking skill book rewarded by the system.

Sha Zhu's eyes widened, his mouth almost watering. He had never heard of or smelled the dishes on the menu! "Buddha Jumps Over the Wall", "Boiling Cabbage", "Longjing Shrimp"... Each name exuded a sense of luxury, making him, a cook who only knew how to cook big pot dishes, feel ashamed.

"This...where did this come from?" Sha Zhu's voice was trembling a little.

"Why do you care where I come from?" He Yudong flipped through the recipe with disdain. "Today, I will show you what real cooking skills are!"

He pushed Sha Zhu aside and walked to the stove. Seeing this, the canteen director did not dare to say anything. After all, the most important thing for the factory was the efficiency, and whoever cooked the best food would be the one to cook.

He Yudong rolled up his sleeves and cooked a dish called "boiled cabbage". This dish looks simple, but it is actually a test of one's cooking skills. He skillfully boiled the cabbage heart in water, then slowly simmered it in special chicken soup, and finally poured the clear chicken soup on top and sprinkled a few wolfberries on top.

A strong aroma instantly spread, and the whole cafeteria was in an uproar. Workers gathered around, craning their necks to get a glimpse of this magical dish.
