Siheyuan: Qin Huairu relies on me

"Zhao Xiyan, don't talk nonsense." Yi Zhonghai said righteously, "We saw that you are from the same courtyard as us. Qin Huairu just joined the factory and doesn't know anything, so we want to bring her to our workshop..."

"That's right." Jia Dongxu also chimed in, "My master is an eighth-level fitter. With his help, wouldn't it be a matter of minutes for Qin Huairu to become a regular employee?"

"Did I misunderstand you?" Zhao Xiyan asked in surprise.

"You misunderstood us." Yi Zhonghai snorted coldly, "Those women in the HR department beat us up without any reason. If I didn't want to argue with them, I would have gone to the factory director to make a fuss."

"That's it."

Jia Dongxu continued to play the supporting role.

"Well, I misunderstood you." Zhao Xiyan sighed, "We are all from the same courtyard, so we should help each other..."

"Yes, yes, yes, Xiao Zhao, it's good that you have this awareness." Yi Zhonghai said happily.

"Hurry up and present your gifts, the dinner is about to start..." Jia Zhang shouted.

"Eh."

Everyone responded.

Yan Bugui proudly took the position of "Minister of Rites", while Liu Haizhong took the money and Yi Zhonghai kept it.

The three people have clear responsibilities.

"Xu Damao, five dollars."

"Silly, five bucks."

"Liu Guangqi, five dollars."

……

Hearing Liu Haizhong's singing, everyone looked strange.

Are these guys crazy?

With a salary of only 18 yuan a month and only giving away 5 yuan, isn't that enough to live on?

"Xiao Zhao, it's your turn." Xu Damao shouted.

"coming."

Under Qin Huairu's distressed gaze, Zhao Xiyan walked calmly in front of Yan Bugui.

"Zhao Xiyan, five...five cents?" Liu Haizhong asked in surprise.

"No, Xiao Zhao, what do you mean? Who are you looking down on?" Jia Dongxu said angrily.

"Fifty cents is not enough for a feast?"

Zhao Xiyan's words silenced everyone.

Yi Zhonghai did give him ten dollars, after all, he treated Jia Dongxu as his son.

But Yan Bugui and Liu Haizhong only gave one piece each, and that was only because they were in charge that they had no choice but to give it.

As for the others, they all had three or five cents, and there were only a few left.

"Brother, this is not right." Liu Guangqi said, "We are the only five young people working in the yard..."

"I don't have a job." Zhao Xiyan said innocently.

"Why didn't you..."

Liu Guangqi was about to speak, but when he glanced at Qin Huairu beside him, he was choked.

This guy really doesn't have a job.

"Isn't your wife working? How can you say she has no job?" Sha Zhu said righteously.

"Who do you think I am?" Zhao Xiyan said angrily. "I am Zhao Xiyan, a man of seven feet tall. You want me to ask a woman for money? Who are you looking down on?"

Damn, this guy is shameless.

Xu Damao and others were almost so angry that their noses became crooked.

“Ahem…Xiao Zhao, you and Dongxu are both young people, you should get closer to each other.” Yi Zhonghai said kindly.

"You mean fifty cents isn't enough, right? I won't give it to you anymore..."

Zhao Xiyan snatched the money from Liu Haizhong and was about to go home, but was stopped by Xu Damao.

"Brother, brother, how can that be possible?" Xu Damao said with a big smile on his face, "No matter how much you give, it's all out of your heart, right..."

"That sounds like human language." Zhao Xiyan pouted and said, "Jia Dongxu, what do you say?"

"Xu...Xu Damao is right. It's a token of my heart's love." Jia Dongxu said gritting his teeth.

"Yeah."

Zhao Xiyan immediately regained his composure, "Brother Jia, I wish you a happy marriage and a son soon."

A beast who is ungrateful after getting an advantage.

Jia Dongxu greeted all his ancestors in his heart, and then he forced a smile, "Brother, I appreciate your words."

Zhao Xiyan nodded with a smile, then took Qin Huairu to find a seat and sit down.

Seeing this, Sha Zhu immediately rushed over and sat at the table with him.

Seeing this, Xu Damao and Liu Guangqi also sighed slightly.

Followed Shazhu together.

"Damn little bastard, you're giving away fifty cents to a beggar." Jia Zhang cursed.

"Mom, stop scolding me." Jia Dongxu looked at Guo Ting's surprised eyes and said helplessly, "Xu Damao and the others only gave me fifty cents. I have to return the rest of the money to them..."

"Refund?"

Jia Zhang's tone rose eight degrees, "You have a pig's brain? Who has ever accepted a gift and returned it at a wedding? How unlucky is that?"

Damn it.

Jia Dongxu cursed inwardly, wondering how he could have forgotten about this.

"Dongxu, Sister Jia is right. This gift cannot be returned." Yi Zhonghai said earnestly, "You just got married, it should be perfect..."

"But……"

"What's the but and what's the but? I've taken the money and I won't return it."

After glaring at Jia Dongxu, Jia Zhang went back to the house carrying the cloth bag.

……

"Eat quickly, or there will be a quarrel." Zhao Xiyan turned his head and said to Qin Huairu.

"Eh."

Qin Huairu immediately served two bowls of rice and started eating.

They spent fifty cents on it.

"Xu Damao, what do you mean? You won't refund the money?" Sha Zhu said angrily.

"Brother, don't come after me." Xu Damao said with a bitter face, "I didn't take the money..."

"Wasn't it you who came up with this bad idea?" Liu Guangqi glared, "You said we give five dollars, Zhao Xiyan also gives five dollars... and then Jia Dongxu will return us four and a half dollars. Isn't that what you said?"

The whole yard suddenly fell silent.

Everyone looked at Jia Dongxu, even Guo Ting frowned.

"Liu Guangqi, what nonsense are you talking about? What do you mean by refunding four dollars and fifty cents?" Jia Dongxu shouted angrily.

"Wow, you're trying to play this trick on us, right?" Sha Zhu picked up Xu Damao and threw him to the ground. "You beast, are you two trying to slander me and Liu Guangqi together?"

"Shazhu, what the hell are you talking about? I didn't take any money." Xu Damao, who fell on his butt, yelled.

"Jia Dongxu, I won't eat your meal. Give me back my money." Liu Guangqi said harshly.

"Liu Guangqi, are you going to make a scene?" Jia Dongxu said with a gloomy face.

"Making a fuss? Do you think I'm afraid of you?" Liu Guangqi said disdainfully, "I called you 'Brother Dongxu' just to be polite... did you really take it seriously?"

"you……"

Jia Dongxu almost vomited blood from anger.

"What are you yelling about?" Jia Zhang jumped out and shouted angrily, "Let us judge for ourselves. Who can take back the money that was given as a gift?"

"That's true."

“It’s unlucky.”

"If you can't afford it, don't send it."

……

Everyone whispered.

This made Sha Zhu, Xu Damao and Liu Guangqi furious.

"Jia Dongxu, you fucking say it yourself..."

……

Jia Dongxu glanced at Guo Ting, who looked disgusted, and then at Qin Huairu, who looked surprised. He gritted his teeth and said, "I didn't... You gave me this gift voluntarily."

"I'm going to your grandma's..."

Sha Zhu held onto the table and flipped it over.

Zhao Xiyan hurriedly pulled Qin Huairu aside, then squatted on the ground holding the bowl.

Wow!

The food and wine on the table immediately scattered all over the floor, leaving everyone dumbfounded.
