From Siheyuan to Hong Kong Island Tycoon

A few days passed in a flash, and it was the eighth day of the Lunar New Year. In the morning, people walked towards the factory one after another to welcome the first day of work after the New Year.

Xu Damao pushed his bicycle out while chatting and laughing with Qin Jingru.

The two were so engrossed in their conversation that they didn't notice Qin Huairu walking towards them.

"Good morning, Damao, Jingru. What time is it now? Are you in such a hurry to go to work?"

After Qin Huairu finished speaking, she looked at the two of them with a smile on her face. If you didn't know her, you would have thought she was very enthusiastic.

Xu Damao said expressionlessly: "What does it have to do with you what time Jingru and I go to work? Don't pretend that we are very familiar with each other. I feel sick when I see you now."

When Qin Huairu heard Xu Damao say that she was disgusting, she was so angry that she almost went crazy on the spot. But when she thought about asking for help, she suppressed her anger and tried to make an aggrieved expression.

Suddenly, Qin Huairu burst into tears and said, "Da Mao, Jingru, I just want to repair my relationship with your family, so I appear in front of you again and again."

"Jingru, I used to be narrow-minded. I was jealous of the good life you and Xu Damao were living, so I cursed you without thinking."

"But I have realized my mistake now. Can you please give me a chance to make a new beginning?"

Since the second day of the Chinese New Year, Qin Huairu has repeatedly gone to Xu Damao's house to block the door and apologize, which has made Xu Damao and Qin Jingru very annoyed.

Xu Damao waved his hand impatiently: "Qin Huairu, stop talking to me about these nonsense. Let's be frank. I've lived in the courtyard for so many years, don't I know who you are?"

"Let me tell you straight, if it wasn't for my father-in-law's sake, I wouldn't have helped you last time."

"Although my family is well off now, don't set your sights on me."

After hearing what Xu Damao said, Qin Huairu cried even more sadly, and soon attracted the attention of all the neighbors in the yard.

"Da Mao, whether you did this last time out of respect or out of kindness, I, Qin Huairu, am forever grateful to you."

"But I am an elderly woman now, and I don't have the ability to repay you. In the next life, I will work like a slave and repay you double."

Xu Damao: "Don't repay me. If you, Qin Huairu, have a conscience and don't take revenge on our family, I, Xu Damao, will be very lucky."

Qin Huairu: "Da Mao, Jingru, we are relatives after all, and we live in the same compound. Our family is really in trouble now."

"You also know that I am an apprentice now, and the factory leaders have deducted three months' salary. Our family is about to run out of food and starve."

"So I beg you, can you and Jingru lend me two hundred yuan so that our family can temporarily get through this difficult time."

"After I get my salary, I will pay you back as soon as possible and will never owe you any money."

"If it really doesn't work, I can swear an oath. If I, Qin Huairu, borrow money from your family and don't pay it back, I will be struck by lightning and have no descendants."

Qin Huairu swore a solemn oath, but she was thinking in her heart: "Banggeng's life is ruined anyway, and it's impossible for me to get married again in the future."

"When Xiaodang and Huaihua get married, any children they have will be someone else's children and have nothing to do with our family. As for the talk of being struck by lightning from heaven, she doesn't believe it at all."

"If you, Xu Damao, really lent me the money, it only means that you are stupid. I borrowed it based on my own ability, so why should I pay it back?"

So this time, Void swore that it would be great if he could get two hundred dollars from Xu Damao.

The neighbors were also shocked when they heard Qin Huairu's oath. At this time, people still paid more attention to these things.

Xu Damao, however, was dismissive of this: "Qin Huairu, do you really think that I, Xu Damao, am a money-printing machine? And the oath you made is too childish."

"Everyone knows that your Bang Geng has been completely ruined since he was beaten that time."

"As for Xiaodang and Huaihua, they are married daughters, and their children will not have the surname Jia. Do you really think that I, Xu Damao, am an idiot and don't know what's going on in your mind?"

"And don't even mention swearing. Even if you swear, it's useless. I won't believe anyone in your family."

Qin Huairu was not embarrassed to find that Xu Damao had guessed her inner thoughts, and planned to continue to persuade Xu Damao to borrow money.

"Da Mao, just lend me 200 yuan. 200 yuan may not mean much to you now, but it is life-saving money for our family."

Qin Jingru urged impatiently: "Okay, Damao, why are you wasting time talking to this ungrateful guy? Jianguo is still waiting for you."

"Today is the ribbon-cutting day for the supermarket's opening, so we both have to go there in advance to help out."

"Maybe Tianfeng and the others have already arrived by now, so let's hurry up and go there."

Xu Damao nodded, then pushed away Qin Huairu who was blocking his way, and left the central courtyard quickly with Qin Jingru without looking back.

Qin Huairu looked at the two people's departing backs with resentment, and muttered with gritted teeth: "Xu Damao, sooner or later, I will make you pay a heavy price for your ruthlessness today."

Xu Damao took Qin Jingru to the fast food factory office first. After arranging their work, the two of them waited for Wang Jianguo and Li Qing.

"Jingru, you don't know, that newly opened supermarket is very big, and the prices of vegetables inside are much cheaper than those in normal markets."

"Once we officially open in the afternoon, business will definitely be booming."

"It's not too far from our home. I guarantee you'll be surprised when we get there."
