After dinner, Zhou Yuan washed the dishes in the courtyard.
Even though Jia Zhang-shi hated Zhou Yuan to the core, she did not dare to provoke him.
Zhou Yuan wasn't a fool. He was a grown man who was being controlled by an old woman.
Silly Zhu deserved it. Most of his salary was given to the Jia family, and he often brought back lunch boxes from the canteen to give Qin Huiru and her family extra meals.
Silly Zhu had never even eaten He Yushui's lunchbox before. Every time, he would give it to Qin Huiru. Jia Zhangshi and the stick were eating until they were fat. However, they were always kind to Silly Zhu. Jia Zhangshi and the stick often called Silly Zhu a big idiot behind his back.
A pitiful person must have something to hate.
If Silly Zhu were to show the same ruthlessness as Xu Damao and Second Uncle, he would not have to go to the extent of breaking off his family ties with Qin Huairu. First Uncle would not say anything either.
After all, Silly Zhu and Qin Huiru were included in First Uncle's retirement plan. Otherwise, First Uncle would not have secretly provided money for Qin Huiru at night.
As for Jia Zhang-shi, that money-grubbing old woman, she would be dismissed with some money.
Oppose?
He was just a little brat. He would be fine after being beaten up a few times. Otherwise, he would not be given food to eat. Why would he not be obedient after starving for a few days?
In the end, he had asked for it.
After washing the dishes, Zhou Yuan returned to his room.
Every night, Zhou Yuan would go to the bathhouse at a fixed time.
Today, he also took the washbasin, clothes, and toiletries to the public bathhouse.
Walking into the bathhouse, he heard the sound of water coming from the female bathhouse from afar.
After a glance, Zhou Yuan walked into the male bathhouse.
At this time, there were not many people bathing. There were only two people in the bathhouse. They were both in the cubicle, and he did not know who they were.
Zhou Yuan found an empty cubicle and started to bathe.
Ten minutes later, Zhou Yuan was done washing up. There was no one else in the male bathhouse.
Zhou Yuan put on his clothes and walked out with the basin.
After walking out of the male bathhouse and taking a few steps, he heard Yu Li calling out to Zhou Yuan in a low voice." Zhou Yuan!”
"What's the matter, Sister Yu?" Zhou Yuan asked.
Out of habit, Zhou Yuan's shower time was almost fixed. For the past few days, he had bumped into Yu Li.
"Thank you for the breakfast you gave me today. Eggs, ham sausage, and bread. It's delicious. I haven't eaten such delicious food in a long time.”Yu Li said in a low voice.
"If Sister Yu likes it, I'll give it to you tomorrow.”Zhou Yuan laughed.
"Zhou Yuan, you prodigal. Aren't you afraid that I'll eat you out of money?”Yu Li whispered.
"Don't be afraid. It's better to be fair and fat.”Zhou Yuan smiled and stared at Yu Li.
Yu Li had just finished showering. Her body was emitting a fragrance, her hair was wet, and her cheeks were red. She was still very good-looking.
"Zhou Yuan, why are you so good to me?”Yu Li's eyes lit up, and she felt inexplicably happy.
"Sister Yu, you're beautiful and kind-hearted. You're different from others.”Zhou Yuan said.
Hearing this, Yu Li secretly rejoiced.
She knew that it was not good to be like this with Zhou Yuan, but she liked this feeling.
"Sister Yu, your hair is still dripping. Let me help you dry it.”As he spoke, Zhou Yuan approached Yu Li, picked up a towel, and dried her hair.
Yu Li lowered her head and did not dodge. She allowed Zhou Yuan to dry her hair, but her heart was beating very fast.
She did not wipe her hair clean because Zhou Yuan had come out. She had calculated the time for Zhou Yuan to take a shower. If she did not come out soon, Zhou Yuan would have left, so she rushed out.
"Sister Yu, do you like raising dogs?" Zhou Yuan asked as he dried his hair.
"Yes, I did. When I was young, I had a dog. It was pure white and I liked it very much. Unfortunately, it was secretly drugged to death and I cried for a long time.”Yu Li whispered.
"Sister Yu, if you like it, I'll give you one to raise another day.”Zhou Yuan said.
Hearing that Zhou Yuan wanted to give her a puppy, Yu Li was very happy. However, her eyes darkened." Forget it. With my family's conditions, I've already allocated food. How can I have a puppy?"”
Yu Li sighed slightly in her heart. Yan Bugui worked alone and raised a large family. He ate cornbread and salted vegetables every day.
Yan Jiecheng was another good-for-nothing. Not only was he useless, but he also couldn't make a decision.
Everyone in the family had been allocated the amount of food they ate every day. How could there be any surplus to raise the dog?
Even if she liked him, she could only hide it in her heart.
"Sister Yu, I plan to raise a puppy, but sometimes I'm busy with work. Can you help me take care of it?”Zhou Yuan knew about Yu Li's family's conditions. It was already good enough that everyone could eat their fill. Indeed, they did not have the extra ability to support a dog.
"Really?" Yu Li's eyes lit up.
Zhou Yuan and Yu Li were whispering.
Suddenly, she heard someone walking towards the bathhouse. Yu Li was shocked.
It sounded like Yan Jiekuang and Youdao. It was dark at night and the two of them were timid, so they came to the toilet together.
Yu Li's body trembled, clearly startled.
If Yan Jiedi and Yan Jiekuang saw him talking to Zhou Yuan outside the bathhouse at night, they would definitely cause a lot of unnecessary misunderstandings.
"Let's go quickly. Don't let them see us."
Yu Li pulled Zhou Yuan into the female bathhouse nervously.
The female bathhouse was the same as the male bathhouse. They were all separated and were cleaner than the male bathhouse.
Yu Li pulled Zhou Yuan into a cubicle and closed the door. She panted heavily and still had a lingering fear.
Fortunately, she reacted quickly. If Yan Jiedi and Yan Jiekuang bumped into her, they would go back and tell Yan Jiecheng or Yan Bugui about it. The matter would blow up and the entire academy would know about it. She would then be too ashamed to face anyone.
"Zhou Yuan, don't speak. I don't want to be seen by the two of them.”In the cubicle, Yu Li whispered into Zhou Yuan's ear.
"I know." Zhou Yuan mouthed. There was no sound, but that was what he meant.
Just as Yu Li was about to relax, she suddenly heard footsteps coming from the female bathhouse. Her heart jumped to her throat.
Although the female bathhouse was a cubicle, one could still see their feet when they lay on the ground.
Yu Li's relieved heart rose to her throat again, and she immediately became nervous. If she was seen in the same cubicle as Zhou Yuan, although there was nothing between the two of them, it would be hard to explain even if they jumped into the Yellow River.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer. Yu Li poked Zhou Yuan with an anxious expression.
Zhou Yuan signaled her not to be nervous. He used his arm strength to support himself against the walls on both sides. He lifted his feet and propped himself against the wall, not standing on the ground.
"Dong dong dong!"
There was a knock on the door of the cubicle. Yan Jiedi's voice was heard." Sister-in-law, you haven't finished showering yet. I want to take a shower with you."”
Yu Li's body went limp and she almost fell to the ground in fear.
Zhou Yuan supported her with one hand and prevented her from collapsing to the ground.
"Sister-in-law, I see your feet. Open the door quickly. I want you to help me scrub my back.”Outside the door, Yan Jiedi continued to knock on the door.
Yu Li was sweating profusely. If it wasn't for the fact that Zhou Yuan was leaning against the wall, she would have been discovered.
In her nervousness, Yu Li's mind went blank. She panicked and didn't know what to do.
Zhou Yuan poked Yu Li, signaling her to speak. If she didn't speak, Yan Jiedi would probably call for help.
If he was blocked in the bathhouse, he would be finished.
Zhou Yuan moved closer to Yu Li's ear and did not bother to touch her ear." Tell her to go back and get a towel."”
Yu Li seemed to wake up from a dream and took a deep breath." Jiedi, Sister-in-law forgot to bring a towel for the bath. Go get it and Sister-in-law will help you bathe, okay?"”
Yu Li tried her best not to tremble.
