Siheyuan: Xu Damao corrects his evil ways

Huaihua rolled her eyes when she heard this. If she was willing to go to Qinjia Village to live with her grandparents, she would have chosen to go there when Qin Huairu went in.

But not to mention Qin Huairu's relationship with her mother's family, even Huaihua would not go to Qinjia Village for the sake of life in the old city.

The stories her mother told them about the difficult life they had when they were young are a permanent shadow in her and Xiaodang's hearts.

According to Qin Huairu, life in the countryside means getting up early in the morning to wash clothes and feed pigs. The food at home has to be fed by the working laborers, and the women can only hope not to starve to death.

There were also years when they could not buy a new set of clothes, and some teenage girls were afraid to go out naked.

Not having enough to eat, not having enough clothes to wear, and having to do so much work, you might even have to get married early.

Huaihua would never think of living this kind of life for even a single day.

But Xiaodang's meaning just now was very clear, that is, he was unable to take care of himself. Huaihua was also a proud person, so she didn't want to look at Xiaodang's face.

Of course, she would not go to Banggeng Shack. At least she would not starve to death if she went to Qinjia Village. But how could Huaihua survive if she went to the Shack?

It seems like there are many choices, but in fact there are no choices.

Or ask Xiaodang to take her in through the neighbors.

Or it could be Qin Jingru's side.

Huaihua subconsciously still wanted to go to Qin Jingru's house. If nothing else, at least Qin Jingru's family lived a good life.

This can be seen when Qin Jingru was in the yard.

Secondly, Huaihua has her own moral awareness, and she has also heard about the story between her aunt Qin Jingru and her mother.

In Huaihua's opinion, her mother had gone too far. All the mistakes were her mother's fault and had nothing to do with her.

Huaihua never thought that whenever her mother Qin Huairu got benefits from Li Yun, she would buy meat and flour for her and her siblings, and she would eat a lot of it, at least more than Xiaodang.

This is the strange logical thinking of the Jia family.

Huaihua thought for a moment, and still said to Yan Bugui with tears in her eyes: "Grandpa Yan, I don't know where my aunt's house is."

Yan Bugui regrets it now. He shouldn't have mentioned this to Huaihua.

Yang Ruihua also pinched him under the table.

If Huaihua continued with his attitude just now, it would only cause trouble for Qin Jingru, and He Daqing and his wife might even blame him.

Others didn't know where He Daqing had moved to, but Yan Bugui did know. This was related to the way Yan Bugui was making a living.

He now makes a living by picking up and collecting rubbish.

Yan Bugui was just a garbage collector at first, but life was tough! He couldn't support his family just by collecting garbage.

Yan Bugui hesitated and said, "We don't know about your aunt. Huaihua, you know that my family and the He family don't have a good relationship. You can either ask the He family directly or go to the street to ask."

When Huaihua heard Yan Bugui asking her to ask the He family, she couldn't help but shook her head in embarrassment.

Huaihua stood up and said, "Grandpa Yan, I'll go to the street office to ask tomorrow."

Huaihua stood up and naturally wanted to leave. Now that she had filled her stomach and heard the idea, Huaihua felt relieved. Now she was concerned about the strange smell of Yan's house again.

Instead of living in a place like this, she might as well stay in Banggeng's shack for a night.

There is no way around it. In Yan Bugui's eyes, every piece of waste paper and every broken pot and bowl are real gold and silver.

He was really worried about leaving it outside.

Not to mention that Yan Bugui had no intention of letting Huaihua stay. Even if she stayed for one night, Huaihua had no choice but to sleep on the floor.

The room where Yan Jiefang and his family lived was filled with all kinds of junk by Yan Bugui.

It’s true, Yan Bugui really did make money from scraps.

For example, some time ago, Yan Bugui received an incense burner. Yan Bugui bought it for more than one yuan, which was the price of scrap copper at that time.

As a result, an old man took away the fifteen dollars on the way.

The other party offered five dollars, Yan Bugui asked for fifty, and then he bargained and sold it for fifteen.

This thing made Yan Bugui very proud at the time.

But when he thought back on it afterwards, Yan Bugui slapped his thigh in regret.

Yan Bugui considers himself a cultured person, so how could he not understand antiques?

At that time, I was so overwhelmed by the ten-fold profit that I didn't think about that.

Originally, Yan Bugui would send the things he picked up and received to the scrap collection station on the same day.

After all, picking up junk is not a job that can bring you fame in the yard.

But since then, Yan Bugui has developed a habit: if something looks a little shabby, Yan Bugui will suspect it is an antique.

The key is that he knows something about the age of the books or calligraphy and paintings.

But when it comes to the other things, Yan Bugui really doesn't understand.

I don't understand much and I'm reluctant to sell them, so it's normal that they accumulate more and more at home.

There are indeed treasures everywhere these days, but the treasures picked up by some people may become eternal pain in the eyes of others.

There are gains and losses, but the world is always balanced.

When someone is happy, naturally someone else will be sad.

Just like Wang Fang and Sha Zhu, Qin Jingru and He Daqing now, they are very happy during this period.

With huge amounts of money coming in every day, the He family feels like they are living in a dream.

The house was bought by Yushui, and the decoration was done by Yushui. The start-up capital was also provided by Yushui, and Shazhu only contributed a little bit of skill and effort. Then the amount of expenditure and the amount of income every day is the profit.

Although Yu Shui said that the rent must be collected, the start-up capital lent to Sha Zhu also had to be repaid.

But everyone in the He family knew that He Yushui was just trying to put some pressure on Sha Zhu and his wife.

Earning one person's monthly salary in one day, considering the size of He's restaurant, that means they are not making any money.

Otherwise, how could Wang Fang have any good intentions and why would she care about the marriage of her enemy?

To put it bluntly, it is just to show up in front of everyone and then show off invisibly.

Today, Wang Fang was wearing the imported clothes that Yu Shui had brought her, an expensive watch, and a big ring that she had bought at great expense.

It was supposed to be the brightest kid in the yard today.

Even if no one asked about it at the time, someone would always talk about her decorations and outfit afterwards.

But no one expected that the Jia family would have such a problem. The key point is that Wang Fang and the others still don't know about it.

Now He Daqing, Sha Zhu, Wang Fang and Wuyi are busy in the He's restaurant. When they are too busy, they will call the people from the steel mill canteen to come over and do some temporary work. The He family pays them once a week.

Qin Jingru did not go there. One reason was that her child was still young, and the other was that if she went, everyone would feel uncomfortable.

So when Huaihua came to her door the next day, Qin Jingru was really shocked.

If the two families have a good relationship, then once the cousin goes to jail, there will be no problem in adopting the niece.

But the relationship between the two families has broken down after all.

Now Huaihua has blocked the door, and a street office clerk is following them, which really makes Qin Jingru feel at a loss.

He Daqing's family does have a house. In order to move out, He Daqing specially bought a small courtyard.

But this is disgusting.

Qin Jingru temporarily arranged for Huaihua to stay there, and asked the neighbors to inform He Daqing of the problem.

So the He family held a family meeting in the hotel that day.

He Daqing always had a dead fish face, and the goldfish eye bags had become more obvious in the past two years. He Daqing smoked a cigarette and said in a hoarse voice: "Tell me, what should we do about this?"

Sha Zhu said indifferently: "It depends on what you think, Dad. I have no objection."

Wang Fang said soberly: "Dad, our family cannot agree to this.

Huaihua doesn’t care. If all the Jia family members die, Huaihua is willing to be adopted by you.

But don't forget, Dad, Jia Zhang might come out at any time.

Xiao Dang will not be able to live in peace, and Huaihua will be in trouble wherever she is."

Wuyi's eyes were rolling around. He wanted to keep Huaihua, but he also knew that he was not the head of the He family.

So I could only stand by and worry.

There is no other reason why I want to keep the locust flowers, it’s just because they are beautiful.

Wuyi is almost old enough to get married, so he naturally knows what beauty is.

But he certainly wouldn't dare to say this.

So he could only look at He Daqing with expectant eyes.

Wuyi knew that since He Daqing held this meeting, it meant that he, as a grandfather, was still inclined to keep the locust flowers.

This is normal. When people get older, they tend to take many things less seriously.

Especially now that He Daqing has just had a son and has a sweet daughter at home, his heart is at its softest.

He Daqing really couldn't bring himself to push a poor young girl out.

As expected, He Daqing said with a dark face: "I also know that Jia Zhang is a trouble. The key is this matter, what can I do.

After all, Xiao Qin's (Jingru) parents and Huaihua's grandparents are brothers. They live in the same village, although they had conflicts a few years ago.

But I have no right to say anything in there. ..."

"Dad, what do you mean?

Let me make it clear first, if Jia Zhang causes trouble for you in the future, I will not be responsible for it. "He Yuzhu interrupted He Daqing's long speech.

These words blocked all of He Daqing's words.

He Daqing said helplessly: "Forget it, forget it. I'll ask Xiao Qin to give her some money to rent a house, and then find a job for her!"

"Dad, aren't we going to hire someone for our store?" Wuyi asked tentatively.

"Shut up! Don't you know what kind of person the Jia family is? She's already hiding from you, and you still want to bring her into the store? I'm going to beat you to death." Wang Fang got angry when she heard what her son said.

This is how things are. If only He Daqing had taken in Huaihua, Wang Fang would not have said anything.

After all, any trouble is He Daqing's trouble.

But it’s different when you get it in the store.

As the saying goes, no one knows a child better than his mother. Wang Fang knows her son's thoughts very well.

Wang Fang's direct outburst was like cutting the Gordian knot, putting an end to the matter.

After He Daqing returned home, he called Xiaodang to the main hall.

They ate first, and after they finished, He Daqing looked at Qin Jingru, who took a stack of money, put it on the table, and pushed it in front of Huaihua.

Huaihua burst into tears and cried, "Aunt, uncle, please be kind and take me in!

I can work. I can help my aunt with laundry, taking care of the kids, and cleaning the house.”

He Daqing shook his head and sighed, "Girl of the Jia family, you are the only one left in our family. Of course, Jingru is related to you, so I can't do such a cruel thing.

But you also know your family's situation. Who would dare to take you in and risk the Jia Zhang family causing trouble?

Here is a hundred dollars, take it, I will ask someone to find you a place to live tomorrow, and see if I can find you a job.

Since something has happened at home, this is your fate and you have to work hard to live a good life.

It's unrealistic to rely solely on others.

Don't say that my He family has nothing to do with your Jia family, there is even a bit of grudge between us.

Even if Jingru is really your aunt, she is still your cousin.

There is no reason to take you in."

He Daqing was polite at first, but now that he had said it, being polite was useless. Huaihua should blame them.

To put it bluntly, He Daqing initially thought that Qin Jingru wanted to take Huaihua in.

That's why he was so hesitant in the restaurant, but when he got home and was with Qin Jingru, Qin Jingru was actually more determined than him.

This should be the common characteristic of the Qin sisters, that is, whoever they marry, they will consider that family wholeheartedly.

If Jia Dongxu hadn't died, Qin Huairu might have become a good wife and a good mother.

Since Qin Jingru is so decisive, He Daqing naturally won't be hesitant.

Huaihua pleaded a few more times, but was rejected outright by the couple.

According to Qin Jingru, even if she didn't care about the He family, she had to think about He Yulin and the little boy. (The little son hasn't been given a name yet.)

Seeing that there was no hope at all, Huaihua took the money and went to the side room to rest, crying.

He Daqing sighed and said, “When I was in the store, I was soft-hearted, thinking about this little girl, so pitiful, why not keep her.

Fortunately, we didn't keep them. Look at the way that little girl looked at us just now, as if we were the ones who caused their Jia family to become what it is now.

This little girl is also an ungrateful person, and she is impossible to tame."

Qin Jingru nodded and continued to tease the little kid in her arms.

Now, as long as the requirements are not too high, it is not too difficult for He Daqing to find a job for Huaihua.

Diligence is now the first thing that is developed in the entire society.

Although He's Restaurant was the first to obtain a business license, there have always been private restaurants in the city.

But in the past, all of them were fly-in-the-wall restaurants hidden in small streets and dark alleys. They didn’t have signs or facades, but just a lantern hung on the door. If the lights were turned on, it meant they were open to serve customers; if the lights were turned off or the lanterns were removed, it meant there was no food or no customers were served.

Diners are usually brought by acquaintances, and strangers are not entertained.

There have always been restaurants like that.

There are also some with half-closed doors, which are similar, but they are small lanterns, and most of them are made of pink paper.

Everyone has their own opinions on this, but many industries have been passed down through such covert means.

He Daqing knows so many chefs, so there are always restaurants short of staff.

Just like the He family, if the He family restaurant was not restricted now, and there were people from the steel mill canteen as backup, then the He family alone would not be able to handle it when it was busy.

Although He Daqing introduced Huaihua, he also greeted her and talked about the troubles of the Jia family.

Who dares to open a restaurant these days without some skills?

The restaurant owner patted his chest and said to He Daqing: "Uncle Master, don't worry, you are related to this family so you can't kill them. I am not a good person.

Work hard, I won't let her down.

If they dare to do anything to me, I don’t care who Jia Zhang is, I will beat the shit out of them.”
