Siheyuan: Starting with level 8 benchwork skills

Disdaining his timid attitude, Qiao Zuwang asked, "Why don't you tell me more clearly how you plan to settle this privately?"

Li Heman hastily assured, "I will definitely pay you as compensation."

In response to this answer, Qiao Zuwang sneered and asked, "Then how much compensation will you pay?"

After thinking about it, Li Heman mustered up the courage to say a number, "Two hundred in total. Cousin, do you think this is okay?"

Qiao Zuwang was quite dissatisfied when he heard this. "My daughter is not even an adult yet! If I don't want to compromise, I will send you to the government to be sentenced for a serious crime. You will be in jail for at least fifteen to twenty years. Can your thin body endure such a life? I'm afraid you will spend your whole life in jail."

Hearing this, Li Heman begged with tears. "At worst, I can give you a little more money - three hundred is fine."

Qiao Zuwang did not give in. "You are a public official, and your family has a wealthy background. Your elders used to run a grain store, so they must have left you some money. Come up with the amount of compensation within a day."

The next day, Li Heman was afraid that something similar would happen again, so he said, "Okay, give me 400 yuan. I'll give it all."

Li Heman spoke again: "Brother Qiao, if you still refuse to accept it, I will have no choice but to risk my life to make this public. There is really nothing I can do. If this gets out, your daughter will have a hard time living as a human being in the future. After all, she is still very young..."

Qiao Zuwang used all his strength to slap Li Heman hard in the face, causing him to fall to the ground and be unable to get up for a long time.

"Do you realize she is young now?" Qiao Zuwang sneered.

Qiao Erqiang already knew that Qiao Zuwang was going to ask Li Heman to resolve the issue, and he didn't care how Qiao Zuwang was going to deal with Li Heman.

It is expected that just like in the plot, the few hundred yuan of compensation and the precious jade bracelet left by Wei Shuying were used to start a business. In the end, only a hundred yuan was left!

Regardless of whether Li Heman lived or died, what did it have to do with Qiao Erqiang? Qiao Erqiang had already made it clear that day that if he wanted to avoid the curse of life and death coming true, he had to personally go to the Qiao family's yard within ten days to kowtow and apologize to the Qiao family!

Qiao Erqiang didn't care what Qiao Zuwang did. Even if Li Heman really came to apologize and kneel down, Qiao Erqiang would never stop there. This matter is not over yet.

Qiao Erqiang always maintained the resolute and consistent attitude of He Yuzhu. He never showed mercy when facing his enemies, which was a fine tradition he firmly followed!

On the weekend morning, Qiao Erqiang got up early to make breakfast. A little later, not long after Sanli got up, Qiao Zuwang took her out alone.

They went to the famous Tongwang Restaurant, where the small soup dumplings were well-known far and wide, so Qiao Zuwang bought two large baskets for Sanli to enjoy.

Sanli narrowed her eyes happily and smiled: "Give me all?"

"It's all yours!"

He looked at his child eating, but he felt vaguely that she seemed different from before.

Sanli gobbled the food with gusto, not afraid of the scalding noises, and ate quite happily. At the end, she simply threw away her chopsticks and started eating with her hands instead.

After finishing ten soup dumplings in one go, Sanli yawned loudly.

Suddenly, he said without any clue: "Buy two copies for the eldest and second brothers."

Qiao Zuwang actually bought two cages and brought them home, and took Sanli home with him.

Qiao Yicheng, who had already woken up and had breakfast, knew what was going on when he saw this scene. He concluded that his father must have taken advantage of him by silently dragging Sanli outside to eat soup dumplings!

Qiao Yichen thought to himself: From now on I will no longer call him dad.

He has no qualifications, not the slightest qualification.

In the following decades, Qiao Yicheng indeed never called Qiao Zuwang "dad".

He never addressed the man by name when he was in person, and referred to him as "that guy" when he was not around.

Even with the delicious soup dumplings her father bought, Sanli is still talkative, but she is very different from her sister Simei who is always noisy.

Simei is like a happy little magpie, while Sanli is like an anxious little starling.

"Si Mei, this is the soup dumpling that Dad bought for you. It tastes really good. Come and have a taste. Don't put it directly into your mouth. Take a bite carefully first to absorb the soup inside so that you can slowly savor it!"

### 14 Bracelet ###

A life story starting over in an antique yard, Chapter 014: Bracelet.

After hearing what Qiao Zuwang said, Qiao Erqiang felt very uncomfortable and replied sharply: "I was just thinking about how to surpass you! I'm going to pour a basin of cold water on your head. Tell me, what do you think?"

This made Qiao Zuwang furious. He pointed at him and was speechless: "You, you, you are a traitor. I, I must teach you a lesson!"

In a rage, Qiao Zuwang grabbed a fatherly belt and wanted to beat Qiao Erqiang up.

However, Qiao Erqiang nimbly grabbed the belt with his left hand. Because he was short, he suddenly jumped up and punched Qiao Zuwang in the face, and called Qiao Yichen to come and help him.

"Qiao Yicheng, this man is not qualified to be our father! For the sake of Li Heman's money, he easily wiped out the bad behavior he did to Sanli!"

Qiao Yiben's heart, already filled with resentment, could no longer hold back and rushed forward. His anger towards Qiao Zuwang's behavior had reached its limit!

As for Qiao Erqiang, he did not think that Qiao Zuwang was the father of his modern soul; he was a time traveler and had no blood connection with Qiao Zuwang - now he wanted to teach Qiao Zuwang a lesson: "You think you can deal with us with a few trays of buns? Dream on! I'm really fed up with your absurd behavior! I'm fed up with your meanness!"

When he cursed "despicable and vulgar", Qiao Erqiang never thought that this would also affect Qiao Yicheng.

Sanli, who was standing by, witnessed this chaotic conflict and just watched everything silently. Her silence was disturbing.

As for Simei, she was still guarding her tray of dumplings in a daze, enjoying it despite being afraid.

Qiao Zuwang, who had been working late for many years and was physically exhausted, was no match for his two sons who were in their prime. He was beaten so hard that he cried out: "Oh my, oh my, this is against the will of heaven, my son is beating me, is there any law in this world!!!"

Qiao Yicheng and Qiao Erqiang fought for a long time. Qiao Yicheng was panting on the side. Qiao Erqiang grabbed Qiao Zuwang's hair with one hand, waved his fist and asked: "Do you admit defeat?"

How could Qiao Zuwang bow his head so easily? When Qiao Erqiang was still trying to subdue him, he hit his right eye with another heavy punch; the left eye was hit before, so this time it was "matched" for him, neatly and symmetrically!

Under such heavy blow, Qiao Zuwang felt dizzy, his head was full of stars, and his ears were filled with all kinds of noises. The soup dumplings he had eaten in the morning also sprayed out unconsciously. Fortunately, Qiao Erqiang noticed it in time and dodged it, preventing those ** from contaminating himself!

Seeing Qiao Zuwang staggering and in great pain, Qiao Erqiang thought that he had suffered a concussion from the beating he had given him. Overcoming the nausea in his heart, he searched his pockets and found only a dozen yuan in cash.

According to the description in the original book, there were at least several hundred yuan in cash and a bracelet from his mother Wei Shuying. Qiao Er kicked open the door lock and rushed into Qiao Zuwang's small room.

As soon as I entered the room, I saw a wardrobe. I remembered that the bracelet should be hidden on the top of the wardrobe, so I nimbly stood up and climbed up, and sure enough, I saw a wooden box on the top!

He took it off and opened it to find that it was indeed a jade bracelet with a green glow and some cash.

Afterwards, Qiao Erqiang walked outside with the small wooden box in his hand, handed it to Qiao Yicheng, and said, "This is what your mother left us. You must keep it properly and don't let this old lady waste it!"

Qiao Erqiang had no idea where the bracelet came from and thought it was a family inheritance from his mother Wei Shuying. If he knew, he would definitely sell it.

The history of this jade bracelet can be traced back to more than 30 years ago. In a quiet alley, there were two families living next to each other: one family was surnamed Qi, and there was a boy named Qi Zhiqiang in the Qi family. The other family was surnamed Wei and had two girls named Wei Shuying and Wei Shufang. The three children grew up together for many years with a tacit understanding like a golden boy and a jade girl.

Both girls admire Qi Zhiqiang very much: because of his youth, height, physique, gentle manners, honesty and reliability, he perfectly meets the ideal male characteristics of ordinary girls.

"Please give Zhiqiang to me. Qiao Zuwang also likes you very much. His family owns a store and the conditions are very good."

Wei Shuying replied: Everything else can be compromised, whether it is food, clothing, or daily necessities, anything can be compromised, but Qi Zhiqiang cannot be compromised.

Wei Shuying was truly in love with Qi Zhiqiang. In order to make her sister give in, Wei Shufang even used extreme means to force her, saying: "Since this is the case, I will have no choice but to jump into the Yangtze River, sister."

Wei Shuying had no choice but to compromise: "Don't do anything stupid. How can I face my mother in the underworld if you do this?"

The kind-hearted and selfless Wei Shuying helped her sister succeed and married Qiao Zuwang on the eve of the wedding.

Qiao Zuwang's role in the whole process and the details behind the incident are still unclear, but it is clear that Qi Zhiqiang once cursed him as "taking advantage of the fire!"

The final breakup between Wei Shuying and Qi Zhiqiang was attributed to Wei Shufang's intervention.

Wei Shufang's behavior left a gap in Qi Zhiqiang's life and caused great suffering to her sister Wei Shuying.

Qiao Zuwang is an extremely narcissistic man. He is cold, heartless and inconsiderate. It is a tragedy for Wei Shuying to marry him.

Wei Shufang knew clearly that Qi Zhiqiang was a reliable person, but she also knew that Qiao Zuwang was not an ideal partner. For her own selfish desires, she used all kinds of pressure to possess Qi Zhiqiang, which undoubtedly sent her sister into a sea of ​​suffering.

After Wei Shuying passed away, she even wanted to take away the big red silk curtain hanging in the front hall, which fully demonstrated how jealous she was of her sister. As long as her sister liked something, she would take it away!

And after Qi Zhiqiang passed away, this extremely selfish Wei Shufang actually found a new lover! It's simply disgusting!

Wei Shuying is the mother of the Qiao family brothers and sisters.

Wei Shufang is their second aunt, and Qi Zhiqiang is his second uncle. Qiao Qiqi was once fostered in their home!
