Siheyuan: After traveling through time, who can still be an honest person?

Qin Huairu also knew that Xiaodang had put in a lot of effort during this period and helped the store a lot.

If Xiao Dang really moves out, the store will be too busy and will definitely have to hire one more person.

Hiring people will cost more money.

As for the old hag Jia Zhang, she is lazy and has a poor brain. It would be a blessing if she doesn't make things worse!

Thinking of this, Qin Huairu dissuaded him:

"Xiao Dang, if you move out, you will have to pay for rent every month. It would be much better if you stay in the store. You don't have to buy or cook breakfast and dinner. You can just eat ready-made food."

"Your salary is not high to begin with, and now you have a lot of expenses. How much money can you save every month?"

"Besides, it's a mess out there right now. It's not safe for a girl like you to live out there."

Xiaodang pouted and said, "Mom, how can my brother and Huaihua live outside? This is not fair!"

"Your sister lives with a colleague, and your brother is a boy, unlike you."

"Humph, I knew you were partial, favoring your eldest son and youngest daughter, leaving me unlucky enough to be stuck in the middle, being used by you as free labor."

"We are a family, what's the point of haggling over small things!" Qin Huairu began to make big promises, "You have seen the restaurant's business, it is booming every day. I estimate that if it continues like this, we can pay off the debts we owe in half a year."

"Mom and your silly dad have already agreed that when you get married, they will guarantee you a generous dowry."

In the past, Xiaodang would be very excited to hear these words.

But after the investment crisis, she realized that no matter how good the promise is, it cannot withstand unexpected events.

The money you get is your own money!

Besides, my eldest brother Banggeng still needs to buy a house and get married, so the family’s money must be spent on him first.

I don’t know when it will be my turn.

Xiao Dang said directly: "Mom, you can let me stay to help, but you must pay me on time every month."

"What? You want me to pay you?" Qin Huairu was angry. "Xiaodang, who did you learn this from? You don't care about family affection. You only care about money."

"You can talk about family affection, but you have to treat everyone equally. Big brother and Huaihua must also come to the store to help after get off work."

Xiao Dang said angrily: "Why should they be able to enjoy themselves outside while I am the only one working so hard?"

Qin Huairu frowned and said, "Your brother is now a public servant, and he is a boy. It will have a bad influence if he comes to the restaurant to work after get off work."

"As for the Sophora japonica..."

Speaking of her youngest daughter, Qin Huairu sighed in disappointment.

Since moving out, Huaihua never came back to see her.

I was busy with the hotel business and had no time to visit her.

Xiao Dang sneered: "I always thought Huaihua was honest, but I didn't expect she was so cunning."

"She saw that something happened to our family and was afraid of being implicated, so she hid away."

"Grandma is right, she is a heartless ungrateful person!"

"Don't say that about your sister. She...she also has something to hide."

Qin Huairu felt very upset when she thought about Huaihua losing her virginity for work.

Ever since that incident, the younger daughter's temperament seemed to have changed drastically. She was no longer close to her family members and there seemed to be a sense of distance between them.

"Unspeakable secret?"

Xiao Dang sneered, "He has a respectable job now, as a salesperson in a big shopping mall. I'm afraid he looks down on us from the bottom of his heart and wants to cut off all ties with our family immediately."

Qin Huairu sighed in her heart, but said, "You are too extreme. Huaihua is not that cruel."

"Hmph, if you don't give me 500 yuan, I'll move out." Xiao Dang said in a firm tone.

"Five hundred? Are you crazy? You're robbing your own mother!"

Qin Huairu said unhappily, "I'll give you 200 per month, which is several times more than your monthly salary. This should be fine, right?"

"Two hundred... No, add a little more." Xiao Dang thought about it and felt it was unacceptable.

Seeing her daughter bargaining with her, Qin Huairu said unhappily, "Okay, I'll give you an extra fifty, a total of two hundred and fifty, do you agree?"

"Deal, as long as I can get the money, 250 is 250."

Xiaodang didn't mind at all and answered with a smile.

"You stupid girl, you are really obsessed with money!" Qin Huairu cursed.

At this time, Sha Zhu walked out of the kitchen, exclaimed "Ouch" and straightened his body.

"What are you two talking about?"

"Silly dad, my mom promised to give me an extra 250 yuan a month. Do you agree?"

Xiaodang ran behind Shazhu and patted his back in a flattering manner.

"Two hundred and fifty?" Sha Zhu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "This number sounds so bad. Let's round it up to three hundred."

"Really? Silly dad, you're more generous than my mom."

When Xiaodang heard this, he immediately and attentively helped Shazhu sit on the chair.

"You are the only one who can be a good person." Qin Huairu glared at Sha Zhu in reproach.

Sha Zhu smiled with relief and said, "Xiao Dang has worked hard during this period, and we should compensate her well and not let her suffer any loss."

"Silly dad, this is what they call a journey of a thousand miles tests a horse's strength, and time reveals a person's true character! Now you know who is the most obedient and filial person in the family!"

Xiaodang hinted in his words that Banggeng and Huaihua were bad.

Sha Zhu understood what Xiao Dang meant and said with a smile, "I see. Our Xiao Dang is still the best."

"Xiaodang, I have something to say to your silly father. Go wash up first." Qin Huairu said suddenly.

"Okay, you should go to bed early too." Xiaodang left happily.

Sha Zhu looked at Qin Huairu's serious expression and said with a smile: "What's wrong? Are you worried about the three hundred yuan? Anyway, I didn't give it to outsiders. This is called keeping the wealth within the family!"

"Just spoil her. Huaihua has been spoiled by you since she was a child!"

Qin Huairu was very annoyed about her little daughter's estrangement, but she had no place to vent her anger, so she could only take it out on Sha Zhu.

"You blame me again!" Sha Zhu said helplessly, "You are unreasonable. Whenever something bad happens to the three children, you blame me. I have become your punching bag!"

"Ugh!"

Qin Huairu shook her head and sighed, "Let's talk about Sophora japonica later. There is another important matter right now."

"What's the matter?" asked Sha Zhu.

"This morning, Uncle One, Uncle Two, and Uncle Three all came. They said Uncle Three met Father-in-law..."

"Father-in-law? Didn't your father-in-law die a long time ago...?"

Sha Zhu thought it was funny at first, but when he met Qin Huairu's meaningful gaze, the smile on his face disappeared visibly.

"You...you mean me...my dad..." Sha Zhu asked stutteringly.

Qin Huairu nodded solemnly: "The third uncle talked to him for a while, and from what he said, he is now a director in Yu Shui's hotel, and Cao Yue even gave him a special car."

"What? He still has the nerve to harm his own daughter!"

Sha Zhu stood up angrily.

Qin Huairu looked at the furious Sha Zhu and said with a smile: "Why are you so angry? Anyway, you and Yu Shui have severed your brother-sister relationship. What does it have to do with you if he harms Yu Shui!"

"He can't harm anyone!" Sha Zhu roared, "No, I have to go and settle accounts with him."

"Come back." Qin Huairu grabbed Sha Zhu and said sarcastically, "Don't be impulsive. I heard from Uncle Three that your father doesn't live in a hotel anymore. Cao Yue bought him a big house outside. He's very filial!"

"But your father didn't tell Third Uncle where he lives. If you want to see him, you can go there and look for him tomorrow morning."

"I'll stop him tomorrow!"

After asking about the place where Yan Bugui met He Daqing, Sha Zhu sat back down.

"Silly Zhu, don't quarrel with your father tomorrow. After all, he is your father. If he is willing, we must assume the responsibility of supporting him."

Qin Huairu put on an attitude of filial piety, but I don't know what she was up to.

Sha Zhu did not comment, but snorted coldly: "If the Third Master hadn't happened to meet him, I wouldn't have known that he had returned to the Fourth City."

"He doesn't dare to see me. Just wait and see how I embarrass him tomorrow."

"I want to make him feel ashamed, cry bitterly, and repent for what he did in the past."

……

The next day.

After making breakfast, Sha Zhu arrived at the place Yan Bugui mentioned at around seven o'clock and waited.

Worried that He Daqing would see him running away, Sha Zhu was smart enough to hide in a secluded place.

More than an hour later.

Just when Sha Zhu was getting impatient, he finally saw an old face that was familiar yet unfamiliar.

Sha Zhu was stunned for a moment, then quickly rushed in front of He Daqing and stared at him coldly.

"Oh my god! You scared me!"

He Daqing was so scared that he covered his chest. When he saw the man's face clearly, he sneered.

"You silly boy, you're finally here. I've been waiting for you for a whole day!"
