Siheyuan, Kaiju replaced He Yuzhu as the chef

Lu Qing returned home with the money, a satisfied smile on his face.

He Yuzhu didn't go to work at the factory today. When he saw him come back, he frowned and looked confused.

But Lu Qing seemed not to notice, walked straight into the house and handed the money he earned today to Chen Wenhui.

When Chen Wenhui saw the thick stack of sixty yuan, she couldn't help but ask in surprise: "How did you make so much money? Where did it come from?"

"I earned it today." Lu Qing replied with a smile.

"Today? Earned so much?" Chen Wenhui was surprised.

"There's my own capital in this, about thirty dollars."

"That's a lot!" Chen Wenhui was even more shocked. She thought to herself, others may not be able to earn 30 yuan in a month working outside, but Lu Qing went out today and earned so much in half a day. It was simply unbelievable.

Lu Qing smiled and said easily: "Don't worry, you will earn more in the future."

Chen Wenhui looked up at him. Although she was still a little confused, she nodded slightly to show her trust.

In the afternoon, Lu Qing rested at home for a while. At around four or five o'clock, the backyard suddenly became lively.

I heard from the neighbors that someone rented a house in the backyard for a pretty high price and it seemed like they were planning to stay there for a long time.

Lu Qing didn't know that the person who moved in was Victoria Song.

While Xu Shichang and Cao Youquan were away, Song Qian secretly talked about her plan with her grandfather Song Xicheng.

Although Song Xicheng didn't like his granddaughter's attitude of distrusting Lu Qing, he was ultimately unable to convince her to change her mind.

After much deliberation, Song Xicheng had no choice but to agree and let Song Qian move into the courtyard house for a few days and come back when she didn't want to live there anymore.

Soon, Victoria Song found a house in the backyard through Zhang Ma and started moving things in, attracting a lot of people's attention.

At that time, only Lou Xiao'e and the second aunt were at home. The second uncle and Xu Damao had not yet finished get off work.

Seeing a strange young woman busy at work, Lou Xiao'e walked up to her curiously and asked, "Girl, are you from another place?"

"No, I'm a native of Beijing." Victoria Song shook her head.

"Local? Then why did you rent a house in our compound?" Lou Xiao'e was a little confused. Judging from Song Qian's clothes, her family should be well off. Logically, she should live in a safe and quiet place with a private courtyard. It was a bit strange for her to live in such a crowded and gossipy place.

"I have to keep an eye on someone." Victoria Song answered simply.

"Who is it?" Lou Xiao'e asked.

"Lu Qing."

"Him?" Lou Xiao'e didn't expect Song Qian to be doing this for Lu Qing. "Why are you staring at him?"

"I can't explain it clearly now. I'll tell you slowly after I'm done with my work." Song Qian smiled and shook her head.

Lou Xiao'e was full of curiosity. Seeing Song Qian being so calm and generous, she felt that there was nothing to do, so she said, "Then let me help you."

"Thank you." Song Qian thanked her. With Lou Xiao'e's help, the house was cleaned up quickly.

In fact, what Song Qian wanted to rent most was the house in the middle courtyard, but there was no vacancy there. Fortunately, the backyard was not far from the front yard, which was enough for her to keep an eye on Lu Qing's movements at any time.

As long as I'm here, I don't have to worry about him running away!

Just when she was done, Xu Damao and the second uncle came back from outside, talking and laughing, looking in a good mood. When they walked into the yard, they immediately saw the unfamiliar Song Qian.

The moment he saw Victoria Song, Xu Damao was deeply attracted by her elegant temperament.

Song Qian is very beautiful, with a tall figure, and every glance and smile makes her look particularly lively, which is in sharp contrast with Lou Xiao'e beside her.

In comparison, Lou Xiao'e seems ordinary and vulgar, while Song Qian is like a beautiful landscape, which makes Xu Damao's heart beat fast.

He immediately walked up and greeted enthusiastically: "Girl, are you the new resident?"

Song Qian glanced at Xu Damao and felt that he had some bad intentions, so she nodded with some caution: "That's right."

"I'm your next-door neighbor, my name is Xu Damao." Xu Damao pointed to his own house, trying to get closer to him.

Song Qian recognized that this was Lou Xiao'e's home, and she felt a little relieved and less defensive. She smiled faintly, "So you are Sister Lou's family. Nice to meet you."

Xu Damao was stunned for a moment, then smiled awkwardly.

I secretly sighed in my heart, thinking that it would be better if I had not gotten married, that would be true freedom.

He continued, "You've just arrived at our compound, so you may not be familiar with many places. If you need any help, feel free to come to me."

"Okay, thank you." Victoria Song nodded politely in response.

Xu Damao continued to find topics to talk about, fearing that the conversation would become dull: "Especially He Yuzhu from the Intermediate Court, you have to be careful, he is not easy to mess with."

"Okay, I'll pay attention." Song Qian responded perfunctorily, absent-mindedly.

But Xu Damao was obviously unwilling to stop there, and added: "And Lu Qing, you have to pay attention too."

Hearing Lu Qing's name, Victoria Song suddenly became alert and asked in surprise, "What happened to him?"

Xu Damao didn't expect Song Qian to be so interested in Lu Qing, and asked in confusion: "Do you know him?"

"I've heard of him." Song Qian said lightly, unwilling to reveal too much.

Xu Damao became even more interested when he heard this, and couldn't wait to start talking: "Speaking of this kid, there are quite a few stories!"

"Do you know him well?" Victoria Song asked tentatively.

"Of course!" Xu Damao patted his chest, as if he was very proud of his know-it-all attitude, "Whatever you want to know, just ask."

Song Qian thought for a moment and asked, "What kind of person is he?"

Xu Damao curled his lips and said disdainfully: "This kid has become more and more arrogant recently. He doesn't take us seriously at all. He has become conceited because he has some ability."

Song Qian thought about Lu Qing's actions during the day, and realized that he did not back down because of her questioning, and was not even afraid.

She then asked, "What about character?"

Xu Damao pretended to be serious and said, "His character is not bad, but it is far worse than mine."

"Oh?" Song Qian raised her eyebrows slightly, seeming a little doubtful.

"For example, if I have something delicious at home, I always share it with the neighbors in the compound, especially the elderly who live alone." Xu Damao began to boast proudly, "But he always eats all by himself. I've never seen him share anything with others."

After listening to this, Victoria Song nodded slightly.

It seems that Lu Qing doesn't quite follow the rules of the Siheyuan.

This reminded her of Lu Qing's style of doing things today, which was indeed somewhat unconventional.

"Are there any other shortcomings?" Song Qian continued to ask.

Xu Damao wanted to continue speaking, but when he thought about it carefully, he couldn't find any obvious shortcomings of Lu Qing.

Lu Qing might have had some shortcomings in the past, but now Lu Qing seemed to have become much more stable, which made him at a loss as to where to start.

Facing Song Qian's expectant gaze, he said with gritted teeth: "Lu Qing is definitely not a good person anyway!"
