Siheyuan: Happy life of veteran drivers

Chapter 278: The Great King Fulfills His Long-cherished Wish

Finally, Wang Hongtao and Yan Bugui reached an agreement that the activity fund was 600 yuan, 300 yuan would be paid in advance, and the remaining 300 yuan would be paid after the work was completed.

Wang Hongtao is not afraid that he will default on his debt. Since he has the ability to give you the job, he also has the means to ruin it.

After paying the money, Yan Bugui felt extremely pained. He thought that if he had known this would happen, he should have helped Jie Cheng buy his job two years earlier. At least he could have earned money for two more years.

Although I'm spending less money now, I'm still at a loss when I think about it.

When he got home and settled the bill, Yan Bugui turned six hundred into seven hundred.

……

Collect the money and return to the pool.

There are already many people queuing here waiting to get water.

While brushing her teeth, she saw Qin Huairu walking out of Jia's house. She was plump, with a rosy complexion, and a naturally charming curve at the corners of her mouth. Her every frown and smile was full of mature charm.

As soon as he arrived at the pool, he attracted countless eyes.

She pursed her lips and nodded towards Wang Hongtao, looking playful and cute.

Wang Hongtao smiled silently and turned his head to the side.

This woman is too bold. Maybe I'll let her have a taste of my power!

Jia family.

Upon hearing that Qin Huairu and her sister were going back to their parents' home again, Jia Zhang did not think much about it and just asked them to take Xiaodang with them.

But this time Qin Huairu did not agree.

She insisted on going with him, and if she dragged Xiaodang with her, what would she do if he got mad at her? She could only let Xiaodang down.

"Mom, today really isn't possible. Jingru and I are going back to do some serious work, so we don't have time to take care of Xiaodang. You can help take care of him for a day. We will definitely be back tomorrow at the latest."

"I won't talk to you anymore, Jingru, let's go get ready..."

……

Alley entrance.

The Qin sisters looked towards the courtyard intentionally or unintentionally, and it was a long time before they saw Wang Hongtao coming.

Qin Jingru jumped excitedly on the spot and waved vigorously.

"Why is there so much food? Where does it come from?" Wang Hongtao asked with a frown.

"Well... let's not talk about this for now. There are too many people here. I'll explain it to you slowly after we leave the city." Qin Huairu said evasively.

As the jeep drove out of the city, Wang Hongtao lit a cigarette and asked casually, "Now you can tell me, you just went back to your hometown two days ago and took all the corn flour I gave you back. Where did you get the extra food?"

I mentioned before that Wang Hongtao had half a jar of corn flour that was about to go moldy. Last weekend, two sisters returned to their hometown and took it home, with each family taking half.

I just don’t know where Qin Huairu got this bag of corn flour from today, I estimate it weighs about seven or eight kilograms.

Don't underestimate this little bit of corn flour. It might be difficult to exchange it for a virgin, but it is a sure thing to exchange it for a widow in the countryside.

Qin Huairu dodged and did not answer, while Qin Jingru turned her head towards the window and did not want to get involved.

To be honest, Qin Jingru just couldn't understand her cousin.

It is said that a woman who is married off is like water that has been poured out. Although my cousin did not marry Brother Wang, she eats his food, uses his things, and even sleeps with him. In any case, she is his person, right?

Why would you have to borrow food from other men because of your mother's family?

Just to return home in glory and to save face in front of your mother's family?

If I offend a man because of this, wouldn't I be in big trouble?

Anyway, Qin Jingru would definitely not be able to do this.

"I can guess it even if you don't tell me. It was given by Sha Zhu again, right?" Wang Hongtao said expressionlessly.

Qin Huairu observed Wang Hongtao's expression and explained, "I just said that my family was having a hard time and couldn't make ends meet, and Sha Zhu took the initiative to lend me food. But don't think too much about it, there's nothing wrong between him and me!"

"He just...he just feels bad for not giving us lunch boxes recently!"

"Right, that is it."

"You have to believe me, Hongtao. There's nothing going on between me and Shazhu!" Qin Huairu hurriedly explained when she saw Wang Hongtao's unfriendly expression.

Qin Jingru on the side curled her lips: I told you but you didn't believe it. You think you are smart enough to fool men. Now you are shooting yourself in the foot?

Wang Hongtao naturally believed that Qin Huairu would not have anything to do with Sha Zhu, but he did not want to indulge Qin Huairu's bad habits.

Don’t you know how much you weigh?

Have we only had a few good days?

I want Banggeng to eat good food, and I also want to send food to my mother's family.

What? Just to show off your ability?

It’s not that Wang Hongtao doesn’t support Qin Huairu in helping her family, but she has to do what she can, right?

I just brought back ten or so kilograms two days ago, and today I brought back seven or eight kilograms. Can I really show off as much as I want?

In the countryside, everyone works in the fields to earn work points and calculates how to save some food. But suddenly there is a family that doesn't have to calculate anymore and can eat as much as they want. What do you think the neighbors will think? Will it be too conspicuous?

What worries us is not poverty but inequality, and human hearts are unpredictable.

If someone with a keen eye were to follow this line and touch upwards, there's a chance that some flaws would be revealed.

Damn it! I have to rely on borrowing money to cover up my good life, and you, Qin Huairu, want to lift the veil?

This is one of them.

He felt that the greater threat lay in Qin Huairu's parents' home.

It seems like I have been through such hard times for so long.

Hey, suddenly food started falling from the sky! Twice in a row! Would they want more?

This should be human nature, right?

Qin Huairu has been married to the Jia family for more than a year or two. Why has she become so wealthy recently?

If you can give us corn flour, you will definitely have more in your hands!

It is important to think too much about everything, as problems are likely to arise if you think too much.

……

Without saying a word, Wang Hongtao drove the jeep to a secluded place and stopped abruptly.

"Sister Qin, given our relationship, I have no right to control you."

"Let's not talk about Sha Zhu for now. I also believe that you have nothing to do with him."

"But I still have to be frank. I don't care about borrowing food from others and taking advantage of them. But if I find out that you have done something dirty with others, you can try my methods."

Qin Huairu raised her right hand and trembled as she said, "I promise that I am only related to you and I will never let anyone else take advantage of me."

Wang Hongtao snorted coldly, and finally felt better: "Then let's get over this matter first, and then talk about the food."

"There's nothing much to say about taking food home last time. There was a ration in the first year, so it made sense to save some food and bring it back to honor my parents."

"How are you going to explain this time? Do you say I gave it to you? Or did that idiot Zhu in the courtyard give it to you?"

"What would your family think if you told them? They would think that you kept bringing back food, so you must have more. Where did you get so much food? Did you do something shameful?"

"I..." Qin Huairu blushed and didn't know how to explain.

"Don't think that everyone else is stupid and that makes you look smart. I think you are going backwards as you grow older!"

"I know I was wrong, Hongtao." Qin Huairu lowered her head and fiddled with the corner of her clothes.

Wang Hongtao took a deep breath and softened his tone a little, "I'm not saying that you can't fulfill your filial duties, but our relationship cannot be made public, so we have to be careful and cautious."

"There are so many people in your family, there might be someone who has bad intentions. If the news leaks out, do you want to live?"

Qin Huairu hugged Wang Hongtao's arm tightly and began to blame herself. She knew that Wang Hongtao really cared about her and said these things because he wanted to stay with her.

"What should we do now?" Qin Huairu asked anxiously.

Wang Hongtao pondered for a moment and said, "Well, this time the stuff is mine. I'll deliver it to Jingru's house. You don't have to go back. Hide at my house and don't show up at all!"

"Oh!" Qin Huairu.

"Great!" Qin Jingru.
