Siheyuan: With a system in place, you don’t need to worry in times of famine

What the three aunts were worried about did not happen. Their relationship with Ye Fei remained the same as before, and they continued to interact with each other as usual, without any impact from Yu Haitang's incident.

Ye Fei and Yu Shui didn't take it to heart, but the third uncle thought too much about it. He had witnessed a lot of Ye Fei's abilities along the way. Just because others didn't take it to heart, it didn't mean that he could completely pretend that it never happened.

Originally, he was assisting Ye Fei in dealing with matters concerning the Siheyuan. Now he worked even harder and took on all the trivial matters himself, not letting Ye Fei worry at all.

As long as Ye Fei says a word, he will run his legs off.

For Ye Fei, the Third Uncle is a capable assistant. Now that Jia Zhang is gone, Yi Zhonghai no longer has pliers, Liu Haizhong has become much more low-key, and even Xu Damao has become much more honest and upright. The whole courtyard is much more clear-headed, and there are basically no major events. He is relieved to leave all the matters to the Third Uncle.

The third uncle does not feel that he has too much to do. Instead, he has a sense of power. He has always been the third uncle. Compared to the past, he now truly understands what it means to be in charge. This feeling makes him more satisfied than ever before.

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, the whole summer is over, and the cool and refreshing autumn is gradually coming.

Early in the morning, Qin Huairu got up, packed her things, and then hurried out.

Today is the day when Banggeng is released. She hasn't visited Banggeng for a long time and doesn't know whether Banggeng has learned well in the juvenile detention center.

When we left in the morning, it was still a little chilly, but when we got there, the sun was high in the sky and it was so hot that we couldn't walk.

Qin Huairu stood at the gate, looking left and right, and finally saw the gate open. A number of teenagers walked out one after another.

It was not until Banggeng walked in front of her that she suddenly realized that the tall boy with a short flat head in front of her was her Banggeng.

"Awesome..."

As soon as she said this, her voice choked up, tears welled up in her eyes, she opened her arms, ready to hug Bang Geng, but Bang Geng pulled back, so she hugged nothing. Looking at the man in front of her who was already a head taller than her, Qin Huairu couldn't believe it:

"Awesome?"

"I'm hungry, do you have any food?"

The tone was light, mixed with a sense of alienation, as if the person in front of him was just a familiar stranger.

There was neither the excitement nor the warmth she had imagined. Qin Huairu felt heartbroken and wanted to say something, but when she saw Bang Geng's impatient look, she immediately changed her words:

"Mom, I'm going to take you to dinner right now. What do you want to eat? Do you want us to go to a restaurant or do you want me to cook for you at home?"

"Just eat something outside and let's go. I'm starving."

Banggeng answered without thinking, if he had the chance to eat out, he would definitely choose to eat out, and his mother's cooking might be a way to save money.

"Okay, okay, let's go right now."

Qin Huairu didn't care about it anymore. She watched Banggeng walk forward and hurriedly followed him.

It was not until they arrived at a restaurant that Bang Geng stopped and looked back at Qin Huairu. It was obvious.

"Bang Geng, do you want to eat here?"

Qin Huairu asked cautiously. Judging from the scale of this restaurant, a meal would probably cost a lot of money, and she didn't know if the money she brought was enough.

"I'm starving, what do you think?"

Banggeng said this and walked straight inside. He took the menu handed to him by the waiter and started ordering quickly.

Qin Huairu stood at the door in a daze for a moment, took a deep breath, and walked in. Seeing that Banggeng had no sign of stopping, she quickly said, "Banggeng, is that enough? I'm not too hungry, as long as it's enough for you."

Bang Geng glanced at Qin Huairu and added another dish before stopping.

The dishes were served quickly. Seeing the table full of chicken, duck, fish and meat, Qin Huairu's expression finally changed: "So many? It must cost a lot of money, right?!"

Seeing Bang Geng picking up the chopsticks and eating without even glancing at her, Qin Huairu's heart was bleeding, but she couldn't show it on her face: "What I mean is, can you finish all these dishes by yourself? How about we cancel two dishes?"

“You can take away what you can’t finish.”

Banggeng took a break from his busy schedule and said this. He knew that his mother was reluctant to spend money. He had been in there for so long and hadn't tasted meat for a long time. Now that he had just been released, her mother was reluctant to spend money on him.

What they said about missing him and knowing he's suffering in there is all bullshit.

The meal ended with Qin Huairu feeling distressed and Bang Geng eating heartily. So many dishes were all finished, with only a little soup left. Qin Huairu was stunned and couldn't help but wonder in her heart: Can she afford to feed him for eating so much?

"Let's pay the bill. How much is it in total?"

"One hundred and twenty-three dollars."

"How much, how much?"

Qin Huairu paused while taking the money and screamed.

"Hello, the total is one hundred and twenty-three dollars."

"Why is it so much? Can't it be cheaper?"

"Comrade, this is a restaurant, not a vegetable market."

The receptionist explained patiently with a professional fake smile on her face, then gave a look to the waiter beside her, who immediately left in a hurry.

Qin Huairu took out money from her pocket, scattered and even a penny, but she still couldn't get the 123 yuan together. She couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Comrade, you see I don't have enough money on me, can you let me go home to get more?"

"You didn't bring enough money, but you came here to eat. Are you trying to eat for free?"

The receptionist's face changed, and her words were not polite, but full of sarcasm: "Don't pretend to be rich if you don't have money in your pocket. If you don't have enough money after dinner, it will delay our business. What if I ask you to go home to get the money and you take the opportunity to run away?"

"No, I will definitely bring the money."

Qin Huairu said quickly, and then pointed at the stick beside her: "How about this, I'll hold my son here, and I'll go back to get the money, and I'm sure I won't run away."

"No, if anyone wants to stay, it should be you. I don't want to stay."

Bang Geng said directly, not giving Qin Huairu any face: "Tell me where the money is at home, and I'll get it for you. I'm young and can run fast."

Qin Huairu's expression was like a colorful plate, changing unpredictably and brilliantly. She opened her mouth and wanted to continue persuading him, but Bang Geng didn't give her a chance to speak: "Just now you said you felt you owed me, is this your compensation?"

While they were arguing, the restaurant manager came over. Seeing that the mother and son were arguing about going home to get the money, the restaurant manager offered a second plan: "How about this, for the remaining money, one of you can stay here to wash dishes and clean the place."
