Happiness System

Qin Xiaoyun stood up tactfully and wiped her tears, with determination and stubbornness in her eyes, "Thank you uncle for being willing to make the decision for Yun'er.

Yun'er has thought it through and they can't get along or get divorced!

However, I would like to ask my uncle to keep it a secret for now, and wait until the divorce is over and the dowry is returned."

Qin Huairong shook his head and did not persuade her. "Go ahead, think carefully about how you are going to live your life in the future, and don't let yourself regret it."

"Then Yun'er won't bother uncle. Thank you uncle for making the decision for Yun'er."

Qin Xiaoyun didn't expect that it was her eldest cousin Qin Qinghai who personally sent her to the apartment.

On the way, Qin Qinghai carefully took her to buy some spare clothes and some things commonly used by girls in the boudoir.

The apartment is less than ten minutes away from the Qin family’s office. It is the second building after turning into the busy street. It has good privacy and is not noisy. It is also very convenient for shopping and living.

"Brother, are all the houses here of this size?" The more she looked at the house, the more she liked it.

Qin Qinghai had already learned about his cousin's experience and the news she brought back, and he still felt a little pity for her.

Seeing that Qin Xiaoyun liked this apartment, he smiled and said, "Our house is relatively large. We also have smaller ones, and of course there are bigger ones elsewhere. If you like it, wait until the news is confirmed and let your father send you one."

Qin Xiaoyun shook her head. "Brother, I'll tell you a secret. I actually have money myself. Maybe I can afford it myself! By the way, where should I live?"

Qin Qinghai pointed to the right and said, "This is my room, you can stay in the guest room next door first.

Opposite is my father's room and study. There is a bathroom in my father's room. If the bathroom outside is broken, you can use the one inside.

There are also many books in the study. If you are bored, you can go in and have a look. My father and I don’t come here often. You can use this room as you like. It’s okay.”

Qin Xiaoyun saw him take out his pocket watch and looked at it, knowing that he still had official business to attend to, so she urged him to attend to his own affairs, "It's fine here, big brother, don't worry about me.

I'd also have to trouble my eldest brother to find an old maid to cook and serve me, and then tell my little maid to stay in the Yan family for the time being and take good care of my dowry.

Also, please let my aunt and sister-in-law know about my temporary stay here in private to avoid any misunderstandings."

Qin Qinghai still remembered how she used to chase after him and call him "big brother" when she was little. Seeing her become like this, he could only sigh.

"You stay here and don't think too much. If you want to get married in the future, I know many talented young men. I will choose one for you then."

Just as he was about to leave, Qin Xiaoyun grabbed his sleeve.

"Brother, do you want to earn some private money? After all, family is family. Your uncle and aunt have other brothers and sisters besides you.

I mean, everyone is eyeing the money at home, do you want to earn some money of your own?"

Seeing his puzzled expression, Qin Xiaoyun let go of his sleeve and waved her hand, "Goodbye, big brother. If you are interested, come to me in two days with the money ready."

Qin Qinghai reached out and flicked her forehead, then scolded her with a smile, "You naughty girl, if you want some pocket money just tell your brother directly, why did you learn to deceive people in such a serious way?"

As he said this, he took out the remaining money in his pocket and stuffed it into her hands.

Knowing that Qin Qinghai didn't believe her, Qin Xiaoyun just smiled and didn't say much. It was still time for him to prepare the money when the time came. At worst, she could lend him some money then.

Qin Huairong and his son would occasionally bring friends back to stay overnight, and the rooms were always clean.

Qin Xiaoyun walked around the house again. In addition to three bedrooms and a study, there was also a servant's room and a utility room. The whole house was about 180 square meters!

She found a bar of soap in the bathroom, and washed and hung up the clothes that Qin Qinghai had bought for her.

It's summer now and the sun is still bright. I think it will be dry by evening.

After hanging the clothes, she touched her belly. She was so busy acting and crying today that she didn’t even have lunch!

Just as I was thinking about whether to go out to find food, someone knocked on the door and opened it with a key.

"Miss Third, I am Aunt Liu. I used to clean this apartment. The eldest young master asked me to stay here for a few days to serve Miss Third."

Seeing Qin Xiaoyun staring at her, Liu Ma immediately lowered her head and bowed.

Qin Xiaoyun saw that she had clear eyes and was neatly dressed. After thinking for a moment, she asked her, "Can you cook?"

"Miss Third, I know how to cook. Although my skills are not as good as those of the chefs in the restaurant, I can cook ordinary home-cooked dishes."

Qin Xiaoyun nodded and gave her some money. "Go buy some desserts. If you can't buy any good dishes, you can order whatever you want in the evening."

After receiving the money from Qin Xiaoyun, Aunt Liu hesitated for a moment before asking, "Miss San, do you need to buy some new bedding for your room? It's sunny now, so we can do it tonight."

She saw the new clothes Qin Xiaoyun hung outside and thought that she was a very particular person. She was afraid that people would find fault with the bedding that had been used by other guests at night.

"Go ahead and buy something elegant."

Originally, she was thinking of making do with it, but when Liu Ma asked her, she thought about how many strange men had used that quilt, and she felt uncomfortable just thinking about it!

"Oh, I understand." Aunt Liu went to the kitchen, got a basket and went out.

Qin Xiaoyun had nothing to do at home, so she went to the study, took out a book, turned on the ceiling fan, leaned back on the sofa and started reading.

Oh, why didn’t I think of asking Aunt Liu to buy her two newspapers?

Although she thought so, she was reading the book in her hand with great interest.

Aunt Liu bought the things quickly. She first put the desserts on the plates at home, then made a pot of tea for Qin Xiaoyun before washing the newly bought bedding.

There are four kinds of dim sum in total, two Chinese and two Western.

Qin Xiaoyun tried them all and found the Western style a bit rough in texture and style, while the Chinese style was too sweet.

This made her very dissatisfied as she had just come from the 21st century and was used to a good life.

After washing the bedding, Aunt Liu came out and glanced at the snacks, which were only touched a little bit, but she didn't say anything. The young ladies and mistresses of wealthy families were very strict about managing their body shape.

The next day, Qin Qinghai asked someone to send another two hundred Singapore dollars to Qin Xiaoyun.

The currencies currently in circulation are new coins and silver dollars. New coins and silver dollars are equivalent, and one new coin is equivalent to one silver dollar.

An ordinary family can live comfortably with 20 yuan a month, but a maid like Liu Ma only earns 15 or 16 yuan a month.

The clerks outside, which are the white-collar workers in later generations, only earn 20 to 30 yuan a month. Those who can get more than 50 yuan are considered high-end talents.

The 200 Singapore dollars Qin Qinghai gave was considered very generous.

Aunt Liu saw that Qin Xiaoyun hadn't gone out for two days in a row. She was either sitting in the living room reading a book or practicing calligraphy in the study, which looked very boring.

So he suggested that she go out and watch a movie, "Miss Third, the cinema is not only for those modern ladies and young couples. I see many ladies who like to watch movies go there to watch something new."

"Okay, then go find me some clothes to wear when going out. Let's go try something new today!"

Qin Xiaoyun rubbed her eyes. It was quite tiring to read books and newspapers every day.

"Hey, Miss Third, how about we wear the smoky pink one? That one looks good, and it's bright and shows off your skin tone!"

Aunt Liu happily put away the rag in her hand and went to get the clothes while muttering.

When she was young, Liu Ma worked as a maid for the wives of wealthy families. This old maid did her job very competently.

After changing Qin Xiaoyun's clothes and recombing her hairstyle, he helped her out with an umbrella.

Qin Xiaoyun took Liu Ma to see a movie, visited the Yan family's clothing store and bought two dresses and leather shoes, then went to a jewelry store to buy two pairs of pearl earrings, and ate at a restaurant before returning to the apartment with a sense of unfulfilled desire.

In just half a day, he spent all the two hundred Singapore dollars Qin Qinghai gave him.

Maybe it was because her body hadn't walked so much for a long time. After taking a shower, Qin Xiaoyun felt her legs and feet were so sore and swollen that she could only ask Liu Ma to massage them for her.

"Oh, Aunt Liu, when you go out to buy groceries tomorrow morning, go to the office and ask the people there to tell my eldest brother to come over in the next two days."

Qin Qinghai is really something. I told him to come over in the next two days, but he still wants to make money!

After complaining a few words in her heart, she couldn't resist Zhou Gong's call.

Based on her understanding of the Qin father and son, Aunt Liu bought some extra Chinese medicine to cook when she went shopping for groceries in the morning.

Sure enough, Qin Qinghai came over at dinner time.

Knowing that the brother and sister had something to say, Aunt Liu set the table and retreated to her own maid's room.

Qin Qinghai went to wash his hands, took off his vest and unbuttoned two buttons before he smiled and teased Qin Xiaoyun, "What's the matter? Why are you in such a hurry to call your brother over? Are you anxious to get your dowry back, or do you regret it and don't want to divorce that advanced person who returned from studying abroad?"

"Brother!" Qin Xiaoyun pouted in dissatisfaction.

Qin Qinghai just laughed a few times, then picked up his chopsticks and started eating.

He ran around outside for the whole morning and returned to the office around noon. The receptionist saw him and said that his third sister was looking for him, and asked him to put the documents back in the office before coming over.

He was very hungry. In order to avoid his third sister saying something stupid and causing him indigestion, he decided to ignore her and eat a few more bites first.

"Why are you in such a hurry to eat? Your sister-in-law won't let you eat?"

Seeing that he was eating so fast, Qin Xiaoyun was afraid that he would choke, so she quickly poured him a glass of juice.

"Nonsense, your sister-in-law is very virtuous!"

Qin Qinghai picked up the juice, drank half a cup and continued eating.

This warrior ate so voraciously that Qin Xiaoyun's appetite also increased.

The brother and sister fought over the food and one of them ate too much without noticing.

Qin Xiaoyun leaned on the sofa, holding her stomach, blaming her brother for making her eat too much, and also blamed him for not keeping his word and not coming to see her.

Qin Qinghai remembered that his sister was very fond of crying when she was young, so he immediately apologized and begged for mercy.
