Siheyuan: Picked up by a goddess in 48 years

"So, you really just threw Jia Zhang into the ravine and did nothing?"

The skinny guys nodded obediently.

Lu Zhenyuan rubbed his face, feeling puzzled. Since those skinny guys didn't do anything, what was the reason for this collapse?

It has been two months, and the collapse value provided by Jia Zhang has never stopped!

Do you know how he has been through these past two months? From time to time, he would receive the collapse value from Jia Zhang, which was a pleasant surprise, so he had already turned off the system prompts.

Unless the amount is large or he checks it himself, it will no longer be displayed actively.

Two months passed and the courtyard was relatively quiet, perhaps because Jia Zhang was not around.

Lu Zhenyuan was walking home. Today was Sunday, a day off, and he was invited to visit Xiaotang's home in the afternoon.

It is said that it is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish. Xiaotang's family had been in a difficult situation before, so he often sent some things over there, but it was not a good idea to do so all the time.

So he instructed Zhang Mazi to arrange a job for Tang's father, paying him 30 yuan a month and some coupons so that they could improve their lives.

After all, the Tang family is a family that values ​​reputation, and they feel bad about having to rely on him for support. Before he helps arrange a job, Tang's father and mother would find some flexible jobs, but they didn't earn much.

Tang's father went to carry sacks for others, but this was a temporary job, working one day and resting three days, so it was unstable. Tang's mother didn't make much money by gluing matchboxes together.

Although Tang's father's job now is not a formal position, the salary is no worse than that of a formal position, and the work is relatively easy. He just looks after the warehouse and does statistics. He is considered a warehouse manager.

To express his gratitude, Tang's father would ask Xiaotang to invite him to his home every once in a while. Of course, there might be other intentions as well.

He hinted several times that he wanted Xiaotang to serve him in the future.

As for all these, he just let it go... and accepted it!

After all, Xiaotang is a girl with a good image and a nice personality. It would be a lie to say that I don't like her. Instead of being ambiguous and being a scumbag, it is better to accept it naturally.

Of course, these cannot be made public for the time being. After all, this is not the old society.

A few decades earlier, he could have three wives and four concubines openly, but now... it's not that he can't, but he has to do it secretly.

What does "three wives and four concubines" mean? It means having many wives and concubines. It is a symbol of power and influence! It is a reflection of a man's strength!

In ancient times, anyone with power, whether a wealthy businessman or an official, was like this. And since he also had such ability, why not?

Rules are used to restrain others, not to restrain yourself.

And he has to be the one who sets the rules for others!

After having a few drinks with Tang's father, I have to say that this guy is really stubborn and even wants to get him drunk.

With his current physical condition, if you want to get him drunk, it would be best to soak him in a wine jar. Otherwise, he would just be slightly tipsy. He would be slightly tipsy if he drank one bottle, and he would also be slightly tipsy if he drank ten bottles. It is impossible for him to be drunk.

Tang's father thought he had bought fake wine and was very embarrassed.

According to Tang's father, if he didn't get him drunk, it meant he didn't accompany him well. Of course, it is not ruled out that this guy has no other ideas.

Anyway, in the end he pretended to be drunk to make Tang's father give up.

The main reason was that he was afraid that if he continued drinking, Xiaotang's mother would become a widow.

When he left the Tang family, Tang's father was already fast asleep. His snoring was so loud that the light bulb hanging on the ceiling was shaking slightly.

"Hey, Brother Lu, where have you been? You just came back?"

As soon as he entered the alley, Lu Zhenyuan heard Qin Huairu's voice behind him.

When I looked back, I saw Qin Huairu holding a piece of fat pork! It was about half a pound.

"Wow, you bought a lot!" Lu Zhenyuan didn't reply, but pretended to be surprised.

Qin Huairu rolled her eyes again when she heard this. She didn’t know about other families, but the Lu family definitely had enough meat to eat.

He sighed and said, "It's just a joke. I saved up tickets for two months and exchanged them with others to buy this little thing."

Seeing Qin Huairu's expression as if she was aggrieved, Lu Zhenyuan twitched his lips. What does that mean? Play him?

"If you ask me, you shouldn't spoil this child. You are the only adult in your family. If you spoil him, will anyone be able to take care of him? I'm afraid he will become lawless in the future."

What Lu Zhenyuan said was meaningful. Although Bang Geng was a bit arrogant now, he was still in the Jia family. He was a bully in his own family. Everyone in the yard could see that the boy was a bit unruly and willful, but at least he had not brought harm to other families yet.

But if Qin Huairu doesn't discipline her more, it will probably happen soon.

In two years, the boys who are eleven or twelve years old will not only grow physically, but also develop their own ideas. If they are not restrained at this time, they will become more and more daring!

The appearance of the Thief King is inextricably linked to Qin Huairu's attitude of connivance and sheltering.

Of course, he just mentioned it in passing. If Qin Huairu couldn't take care of the child well, someone else would take care of it for her in the future.

Qin Huairu smiled when she heard this, "Banggeng is still young. It's normal for a little boy to be naughty. Besides, children need to eat meat. As a mother, I can't stop him from eating. It's the time for him to grow."

As she spoke, Qin Huairu seemed to have thought of something. She hesitated for a moment, but still spoke, "Xiao Lu, help me get it."

Lu Zhenyuan raised his eyebrows and took the piece of meat.

Before I could figure out what Qin Huairu was up to, I saw her walk to the corner, unbuttoning her belt with her back to the wall...

"!!!"

What the hell! Qin Huairu, what are you doing?

Lu Zhenyuan stared with his eyes wide open but didn't dare to say anything. He subconsciously looked around to see if anyone was paying attention to this side.

Now he was holding the piece of meat and felt it was hot.

I wish I could throw it away and run away.

Fortunately, Qin Huairu did not take off her pants, ahem... instead she reached into her waistband and rummaged around, then tied her belt again. When she came back, she had ten more dollars in her hand.

"Here, this is the ten yuan that Sister Qin returned to you. Take the money and don't make a sound. I'm returning it to you. I don't have money to pay others back now."

Lu Zhenyuan raised his eyebrows, glanced at Qin Huairu's waistband, and hesitated, "Where did you get this money from?"

But he knew that some people liked to sew a pocket on their underwear to hide money, mainly because they were afraid that their money would be lost or stolen. Pockets on clothes or pants could be stolen, but the pockets on underwear could never be stolen.

He now doubted Qin Huairu's ten dollars... ahem, if that was the case, then these were still ten dollars worth of money.

Noticing Lu Zhenyuan's gaze, Qin Huairu seemed to guess what he was thinking and rolled her eyes at him.

"What are you thinking about? It's clean! I put it in my waistband." As if afraid that Lu Zhenyuan would not believe her, Qin Huairu lifted up her clothes to show him.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk! Put it down!"

Lu Zhenyuan tried to stop him quickly. He really couldn't do that. If someone saw him doing that, he would lose his reputation.

Although he doesn't care much about this, he won't waste it like this.

Moreover, he believed what Qin Huairu said. He also knew that hiding money in the waistband was called a waist bag, which was a bag for hiding money. Qin Huairu's was the same, except that she sewed a bag on the waistband, which was equivalent to an inner pocket.

He took the money and handed the meat to Qin Huairu.

We chatted all the way back to the courtyard.

Lu Zhenyuan discovered that the Jia family was living a fairly decent life now, and it was just as he had imagined. Qin Huairu now had a job and had obtained a city hukou. She and her two children could eat rationed food, which saved them a lot of money.

Now that Jia Zhang is gone, the house is mine and I don't have to pay rent. The only drawback is that I'm still an apprentice and only make eighteen yuan a month, but with one adult and two children, I can still get by if I tighten my belt.

Didn’t you see that I can pay back 10 yuan?

To be honest, he was somewhat surprised that Qin Huairu took the initiative to return the 10 yuan.

Qin Huairu seems to be changing for the better, but is this really the case?

But he knew that Yi Zhonghai and He Yuzhu were keeping an eye on Qin Huairu. Even if there were no difficulties, those two people would probably create difficulties for Qin Huairu, and it would be hard to say what would happen in the future.
