Siheyuan: The beauty Xueru Huizhen, the birds are jealous

Uncle Zhang also nodded in agreement: "Yes, yes, although Uncle Yi is the elder in our courtyard, this kind of care is too much."

Yi Zhonghai did not express his opinion immediately, but turned his eyes to Qin Huairu who was standing beside him. Qin Huairu was Yi Zhonghai's daughter-in-law and the mistress of the family. When she heard Yang Ming's proposal, her face changed slightly, but she soon regained her composure.

"Qin Huairu, what do you think?" Yi Zhonghai asked softly.

Qin Huairu smiled slightly and said softly, "Yang Ming is very thoughtful. I have no objection." Although she said this, her heart was in turmoil. She didn't understand why Yang Ming did this. Was he trying to steal her limelight?

Qin Huairu knew that she couldn't show her dissatisfaction at this time. She took a deep breath and tried to make herself look more calm. She decided to adopt an attitude of agreement, let Yang Ming's proposal pass first, and then find an opportunity to slowly deal with him.

"Since everyone agrees, let's do it this way." Yang Ming was relieved when he saw Qin Huairu nod. He knew that Qin Huairu was a smart person and would not cause trouble for him at this time.

The residents all expressed their appreciation for Yang Ming's proposal. Aunt Li smiled and said, "Yang Ming, you are really thoughtful. During the earthquake, you not only saved everyone's life, but also helped them rebuild their homes. Now you are thinking about Uncle Yi's later life. You are really a man who does great things!"

Uncle Zhang also nodded and said, "That's right, Yang Ming's instant noodle factory and ham sausage factory are both doing very well and have provided many job opportunities for people in our hospital. People like him are worthy of our respect and learning."

"Qin Huairu, your idea is really great, but Yang Ming is not bad either. With his arrival, our yard will be very lively." Aunt Li said to Qin Huairu while eating melon seeds. Qin Huairu felt mixed emotions. She didn't expect her plan to be broken so easily.

Qin Huairu's original plan was to take over the savings of those unfilial elderly people and even make the entire courtyard her own.

She had calculated so shrewdly and had such a unique vision, but at this moment, she felt powerless. She looked at Yang Ming's busy figure and couldn't help but feel unconvinced.

Under Qin Huairu's careful planning, she successfully took over the savings of many elderly people and established a happy nursing home. Although Lou Xiao'e and others contributed money and effort, all the good reputation belonged to Qin Huairu.

However, all this smooth sailing seemed to become less certain after the appearance of Yang Ming. Yang Ming's arrival made Qin Huairu's plan more complicated.

Not only did he frustrate Qin Huairu's plan, but he also forced Qin Huairu to pay for Yi Zhonghai's food standards herself as prices rose.

Qin Huairu looked at the account book in her hand and couldn't help feeling anxious.

What makes Qin Huairu even more headache is that Jia Zhang and Bang Geng are two troublesome people.

She knew very well that once these two people got involved, her plan would become much more difficult.

Especially Banggeng, he owed gambling debts and urgently needed funds to fill the hole, and the appearance of pension money was undoubtedly an unexpected opportunity for him.

"Mom, look at this pension money, can we..." Banggeng said to Jia Zhang tentatively. Jia Zhang glared at him, but a glimmer of greed flashed in her eyes.

She knew that this pension money meant a lot to Qin Huairu, but if she could get a share of it, that would also be fine.

Qin Huairu stood in front of the window, looking at the courtyard outside.

She was filled with confusion and anxiety. She didn't know how to deal with Yang Ming's disruption, nor did she know how to deal with the rising prices and the negative impact of Jia Zhang and Bang Geng. She wanted to implement her plan smoothly, but the prospects did not seem optimistic.

"Perhaps it wouldn't be shameful to admit my mistake to her."

Banggeng talked to himself, his voice full of helplessness and struggle. He thought of his mother Qin Huairu, the woman who always cleaned up the mess for him.

Every time he got into trouble, his mother would silently bear the consequences for him without ever complaining.

Bang Geng knew that he couldn't go on like this.

He looked out the window and saw his mother busy doing housework.

Her movements were a little slow, obviously she was tired. Bang Geng had an idea, and he decided that the moment his mother put the passbook away and wrote down the password would be his chance.

He knew that his mother had a bad memory and was not very literate, and this was his only chance of winning.

At the same time, Yi Zhonghai was sitting leisurely in the yard, enjoying a rare relaxing time.

Ever since he handed over the matters of retirement to Qin Huairu, his life has undergone tremendous changes.

He no longer had to do housework himself, but could take walks, play chess, listen to operas, and go fishing as he pleased. He felt more relaxed and free than ever before.

However, this relief did not last long.

Bang Geng's appearance broke the silence. He walked up to Yi Zhonghai and said firmly, "Dad, I want to buy a bicycle."

Yi Zhonghai was stunned for a moment, then looked at Qin Huairu. Qin Huairu was hanging clothes to dry. After hearing Banggeng's words, she stopped what she was doing and turned around. Her face was full of confusion and puzzlement: "Bicycle? What do you want a bicycle for?"

"I want to ride a bike to school. It's much more convenient." Banggeng explained.

Qin Huairu frowned: "But you know our family situation, where can we get extra money to buy a bicycle?"

Bang Geng had expected his mother to say this, and he had already prepared a retort: ​​"Mom, the bicycle is the face of the family.

Ah! Who doesn’t have a bicycle? Besides, if I ride to school, I can find a partner faster!"

Qin Huairu was choked by Banggeng's words. She didn't know how to answer. She knew that Banggeng was telling the truth, but the family's financial situation did not allow them to be so extravagant. She looked at Banggeng's expectant face, feeling mixed emotions.

"Mom, just agree to me!" Seeing that his mother had no objection, Banggeng continued to persuade her while the iron was hot.

Qin Huairu sighed. She knew she couldn't refuse her son's request. But she also knew that these two hundred yuan were a considerable expense for their family. She looked at Banggeng's expectant face, and her heart was full of contradictions.

"Mom, do you think that if I have a bicycle, can I invite some friends to go to the park or watch a movie?" Banggeng asked Qin Huairu who was busy in the kitchen while wiping his sweat.

Qin Huairu stopped what she was doing and sighed, "Great! You're grown up now. You should go out more often and make some new friends. But you can't just buy a bicycle. It costs a lot of money."
