"Rainwater, take these cloth tickets over there." During breakfast, He Yuzhu took out a handful of change and tickets from his pocket. The cloth tickets were his own, but the money was swindled from Yi Zhonghai.

He Yu Shui looked at the fabric ticket in her hand, a little puzzled: "Brother, why did you give me a fabric ticket? Do you want to make clothes?"

He Yuzhu laughed and said, "Where are you going? We're not going to see Dad, are we? You have to dress up a bit! When we get back, go buy yourself a skirt at Wangfujing Department Store, pick a pretty one, don't worry about the money, just tell me if you need more."

This time He Yu Shui was truly touched, her brother was truly good to her from the bottom of his heart!

These fabric tickets, I've been saving up for a few months now, at the very least. Don't even mention buying a skirt; even purchasing a pair of pants would leave me with some extra.

"Brother, you're so good."

He Yuzhu was delighted: "What I said, you are the only sister I have, if I don't treat you well, who else would I treat well?"

As the siblings were laughing and chatting, a small head popped out from behind the doorframe.

He Yu Shui's eyes were sharp, and immediately she beckoned towards the shadow: "Xiao Dang, how did you come?"

Xiaodang timidly walked over, tilted her head to look at He Yu Shui, and whispered: "Aunt Yushui, I'm hungry."

Before He Yu Shui could reply, the little girl mumbled again, "I can help you and Uncle Zhu tidy up the room, as long as you give me a bun."

Hearing this, He Yuzhu's face immediately turned dark. How come this mother and daughter were always the same? They just couldn't help but offer to tidy up for others! Was this habit even hereditary?

Seeing He Yuzhu's face wasn't good, He Yu Shui reached out and quietly poked his arm: "Brother, or........"

He Yu Zhu didn't wait for his younger sister to finish speaking before waving his hand and saying, "Alright, there's no need to quibble with a child. When Dad passed away, you were not much older than her. Go pour her that bowl of sweet potato porridge. When you were little, you were even more gluttonous than she is. You would cry and bite people if you didn't have enough to eat in the morning. I almost developed a habit of skipping breakfast back then."

He Yu's eyes immediately turned red, she couldn't remember the events from her childhood very well, but when her older brother mentioned it, she recalled the incident. Ah, he was a truly good brother, tough on the outside but soft on the inside. She had really misunderstood him before.

The little girl forced back her tears, pouting and saying, "If it's all served, then what will big brother eat?"

He Yuzhu laughed heartily: "Silly girl, you forgot what your brother does? There's no cook in the world who would starve themselves!"

I still have white steamed buns in my space, I won't starve!

Oh, no. Didn't Xu Damai buy youtiao today? When this kid goes to work later, I'll go to his place and fix the water pipe. By the way, I'll try his soy milk and youtiao!

Xiao Dang obediently sat on the small stool by the side, watching Auntie Yu in the kitchen ladle porridge for him. His little stomach was growling loudly with hunger.

Perhaps her older brother had gotten to him beforehand. Now, He Yu Shui looked at the pitiful Xiaodang and her mind was filled with scenes of her own weakness, pitifulness, and helplessness from when she was young. Even when talking to this little girl, her tone unconsciously softened a few points: "Eat, slowly, be careful not to burn yourself."

The little girl was truly hungry. She scooped up her bowl and ate with gusto. He Yushu thoughtfully brought her some pickled vegetables and, after a moment's thought, even took out a small bottle of sesame oil from the top shelf of the cupboard and drizzled it over the pickled vegetables to mix them together.

He Yuzhu smacked his lips: "Good fellow, I hid my sesame oil so secretly that you found it?"

Hearing this, He Yu Shui proudly raised her head and said, "I can find it wherever it's hidden!"

<<<"This kid, eating me out of house and home! It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say this about the little girl either. In a short while, she ate up all the porridge in her bowl and the pickled vegetables beside it, clean to the last morsel. Even the small dish used for the pickled vegetables was licked until it gleamed, not a trace of oil left." "

"Uncle Zhuzi, Aunt Yushu, thank you."

"Alright, just with that one shout of thanks, you're already stronger than your brother!" He Yuzhu nodded with satisfaction, this way he could at least somewhat give Qin Widow an explanation.

He Yu Shui thought for a moment, then took the little girl’s hand and whispered, "After you get home, don't tell your brother or grandma. Otherwise, they'll be angry, okay?"

The little girl counted on her fingers and agreed readily: "Well, I won't tell! My grandmother calls me a money loser, my brother doesn't care about me or Mom, and I don't talk to anyone anyway."

Seeing that his younger sister wasn't in a good mood, He Yu Zhu patted her shoulder and comforted her: "Alright, it's almost time. If you don't leave for work soon, you'll be late."

He Yu Shui nodded. "Um! Brother, I'll be back this weekend, you have to get me some delicious food!"

"Okay, I promise to keep things warm!"

.......

Backyard, the Xu family.

Xu Damai wore a fawning expression: "Sister-in-law, look, this is your favorite soy milk. Tell me, how did our father arrange things?"

Lou Xia'e washed her face and gave him a slanted glance. "I've already passed the word along, but whether it comes to fruition depends on your performance. My dad said that as long as you're more proactive in the department from now on, and even better if you can come up with some groundbreaking achievements, then there's hope for this."

Lou Fu knew about his son-in-law's shady dealings outside. He wasn't particularly surprised. After Lou Xia e complained at home about her mother-in-law's attitude, he inquired through a friend at the factory about Xu Damao's daily habits. Therefore, he had some idea of what kind of person his son-in-law was.

As for Lou's mother, that wasn't possible. After knowing that Xu Damai had been carrying on with widows and female workers behind Lou Xiao'e's back, she exploded in anger and started crying bitterly, holding her daughter's hand. She berated herself for believing Xu's mother's lies and letting her daughter fall into this pit of fire.

Originally, the mother wanted her daughter to quickly divorce this man.

But Lou's father was a little worried. Xu Damai had always been petty and vindictive. If they rashly proposed a divorce, this fellow might be driven to extremes and use their family background to stir up trouble. While the current situation wasn't overly tense, what if they were labeled as capitalists who exploited the blood and sweat of the working class? In that case, the entire Lou family would suffer.

So the whole family discussed it for a long time, and in the end they decided to let Lou Xiaoguo come back first and stabilize Xu Damao.

After that, Lou's father would find someone else to come up with a different plan. The best-case scenario was for Xu Damai to take the initiative to divorce. If that didn't work, they would find an opportunity to expose him cheating. As long as this incident was publicized, then Lou Xia e could easily bring up divorce again. At worst, they would just give his family some compensation.

As for what Xu Da Mao should do as the operator?

This guy is so useless, his father shouldn't even look for someone to beat him up. It's ridiculous that he's still in this position! He's dreaming if he thinks he deserves a promotion!
