He Yuzhu did not expect things to go so smoothly. Xu Damao and Qin Huairu actually got married without any setbacks. He had thought that the Xu family would not agree. It could only be said that Father Xu was indeed a cunning old fox. He knew the seriousness of this matter and knew that it could not be hidden. In order to prevent this matter from getting bigger, he cut the Gordian knot and made the two of them get married. This way, no one could use this matter to deal with Xu Damao in the future. However, doing so could not stop others from gossiping. The Xu family's face was also lost.
On the day of Xu Damao and Qin Huiru's wedding, not only was the courtyard bustling with activity, but everyone was also talking about it. Even the news of their wedding had spread throughout the steel mill. When many people first heard about it, they looked incredulous, and their voices were filled with suspicion. After all, Xu Damao was quite well-off. How could he possibly marry Qin Huiru, who had four old and weak widows in her family? Although many people did not believe this rumor, He turned around and excitedly spread the news to others
He Yuzhu was focused on cooking in the kitchen. The others would steal glances at him from time to time. It was obvious that Ma Hua and the others had heard about Xu Damao and Qin Huiru's incident and wanted to find out if it was true. After all, He Yuzhu lived in the same courtyard house as Xu Damao and Qin Huiru. They would definitely know the details. However, they were worried that they would disturb He Yuzhu's cooking and that he would get angry. Therefore, they only dared to steal glances at He Yuzhu and did not dare to ask.
When He Yuzhu was done with the dishes for the day, he took off his apron and put it aside. His disciple Ma Hua eagerly handed He Yuzhu's porcelain cup to him and said with a smile,"Master, you've worked hard. Have some tea."
"Yes." He Yuzhu took the cup and gently blew at the tea foam on it. She slowly took a sip and comfortably walked to the old place to sit down.
Ma Hua also came over. He Yuzhu looked at him and asked curiously,""Ma Hua, what are you doing here? Hurry up and pack up. Get ready to collect tickets and get food.”
Ma Hua rubbed his head and said with a smile,""Master, no, I just heard that Xu Damao and Qin Huairu are getting married. I want to know if this is true.”Liu Lan and the others also stopped what they were doing and pricked up their ears to listen to the conversation between He Yuzhu and his disciple.
He Yuzhu put down his cup and looked at Ma Hua's curious face. He then looked around the kitchen and saw that everyone was curious. He smiled and said," You guys, you don't focus on your work all day, but you only know how to ask around. If only you had this kind of enthusiasm. Alright, I'll tell you now, so that you don't have to worry about not working hard. Xu Damao and Qin Huiru are indeed getting married. It was discussed this morning. When I left home for work, the two of them had already gone through the formalities. I heard that Secretary Wang had also written a marriage certificate for them. I reckon that Xu Damao and Qin Huiru should have gotten their marriage certificates by now.”
"It's true, Master. Why would Xu Damao like Qin Huiru? They already have three children. Do you know why they suddenly got married?”
"Hmph, why are you worrying so much? Why do you care why they want to get married? Perhaps the two of them will like each other.”He Yuzhu reprimanded.
Liu Lan suddenly said,""What Master He said is also possible. This Qin Huairu has been flirting with Xu Damao quite often. There were a few times when I noticed that Xu Damao and Qin Huairu had a strange relationship when they were getting food from the canteen. Moreover, I once saw the two of them walking into the abandoned small warehouse next to our canteen. The two of them must have hooked up in private long ago. However, I feel that it's very likely that Qin Huairu has something on Xu Damao. Otherwise, with Xu Damao's personality, he would definitely only play with Qin Huairu and not marry her.”
"Sister Liu, what you said is true. Xu Damao and Qin Huairu really went into the warehouse. What else do you know?”Ma Hua looked at Liu Lan excitedly and asked. The others in the kitchen also gathered around and stared at Liu Lan with shining eyes.
When He Yuzhu heard Liu Lan's words, he could not help but sigh in his heart. Not only was Liu Lan smart, but she was also very observant. She even knew that Xu Damao and Qin Huairu had entered the small warehouse. He Yuzhu really wanted to ask Liu Lan what else she did not know about the steel rolling mill.
Seeing how excited everyone was, Liu Lan smiled and was about to continue when He Yuzhu hurriedly interrupted,"Cough, cough, cough. Alright, let's not talk about these things during work hours. The workers are coming for lunch soon. Everyone, go and prepare.”
After that, the kitchen staff did not need to ask He Yuzhu for the specific reason. The workers who were eating in the canteen today did not talk about anything else. They were all talking about Xu Damao and Qin Huiru's marriage. From the workers who were eating, Ma Hua and the others also found out the truth about Qin Huiru and Xu Damao's marriage.
As for how the workers knew about it, it was because the workers of Workshop One and Workshop Three had caught First Uncle Yi Zhonghai and Second Uncle Liu Haizhong in the morning and kept asking them about Xu Damao and Qin Huairu. First Uncle was still alright. He kept his mouth shut and did not say anything. The workers of Workshop One did not get any information from First Uncle Yi Zhonghai.
However, Liu Haizhong, the second uncle, could not do it. He usually liked to show off, but no one paid attention to him, causing him to be very aggrieved. Today, when he was working in the third workshop, he was constantly flattered by a group of workers. In the end, he let it slip in his pride.
In an instant, the dozen or so workers surrounding him knew that Xu Damao and Qin Huiru had gotten married because Xu Damao had gotten drunk and taken advantage of Qin Huiru. While the group of workers were excited, this news quickly spread throughout the entire rolling mill.
Then, when everyone was eating, the entire cafeteria was discussing how Xu Damao had taken advantage of Qin Huairu. Ma Hua and the rest naturally knew what had happened.
As they spoke, the topic changed. Everyone started to talk about Qin Huiru's beauty and figure.
In the end, the factory's leaders also heard the news. Afraid that the matter would blow up, they strictly ordered everyone not to discuss Xu Damao and Qin Huairu's matter anymore. They were not allowed to slander their colleagues 'reputation. After all, no matter what happened, Xu Damao and Qin Huairu were already married.
In the end, with the hard work of the leaders, no one talked about this matter in public. Of course, there would definitely be a lot of people discussing it in private. As for the leaders, as long as you didn't talk about it in public, they wouldn't care what you said in private.
All in all, at least the negative impact caused by Xu Damao and Qin Huairu's marriage had been suppressed. Since one of them was previously single and the other was a widow, and now that they were married, no one could say much. However, this matter could still make the people of the Siheyuan and the rolling mill have more topics to talk about in the future.
