Siheyuan: Yan Jiekuang's carefree life

"Are they all gone?!" Qin Huairu's father asked while knocking his pipe on his feet when he saw his wife coming in.

Qin Huairu's mother replied, "Gone!" Then she asked, "Old man, why did you suddenly think of introducing a date to Huairu's eldest daughter?!"

Qin Huairu's father said, "The eldest son of the seventh family is about the same age as Xiaodang. Our eldest grandson has fallen in love with the daughter of the seventh family, and the seventh family asked for a lot of betrothal gifts. If we can marry Xiaodang to the eldest son of the old family, our two families can be considered as exchanging relatives, and the betrothal gifts can be reduced. Unfortunately, outsiders are outsiders after all."

Qin Huairu's mother said, "Old man, Huairu brought a lot of money home in the past few years. If it doesn't work out, we can give some money to the old family. We can't let our eldest grandson's marriage fall through, right?!"

"What do you know?!" Qin Huairu's father rolled his eyes at his wife and said, "If we give it to the eldest son but not to the second and third sons, what if the second and third sons' families quarrel?! We two can still move around now. If we can't move around one day, how can we count on that money?! Without that money, who will take care of those three losers in our family?!"

Qin Huairu's mother's face changed instantly. After hesitating for a few seconds, she asked, "Then what should we do?!"

Qin Huairu's father glared at his wife with an expression of resentment towards his father and said, "Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. If you hadn't given in to them and married those three unlucky people back then, our family wouldn't be what it is now?!"

At the same time, Qin Huairu brought Xiaodang and Huaihua to the village entrance. Xiaodang looked at his grandfather's house in the distance and said, "Mom, grandpa doesn't seem to like us very much?!"

Qin Huairu sighed and said, "The older generation tends to favor boys over girls. You have to understand them."

Xiao Dang said, "Why should we understand them?! Anyway, I will never come here again. Also, Mom, I'm telling you, you are not allowed to send money to your parents' home anymore."

Huaihua also hurriedly agreed, "Yes! Mom, you can no longer give money to grandpa's family. If you don't think about yourself, you should think about us."

Qin Huairu sighed and compromised, "Okay! Mom will listen to you!" Then she saw the long-distance bus slowly approaching and said, "The bus is here! Get ready to get on!"

In a blink of an eye, it was the day Xiaodang had agreed with Li Huaide. After dinner, Xiaodang said hello to Qin Huairu and Huaihua, left the phone number of where he lived, and then went out with his suitcase. Qin Huairu and Huaihua sent Xiaodang to the bus, and then they reluctantly went home.

When the bus arrived at the train station, Xiao Dang saw Li Huaide waiting for her at the station as soon as she got off the bus. Xiao Dang got off the bus, walked up to Li Huaide, and asked, "You must have been waiting for a long time, right?!"

"I just arrived too. Here are your train tickets!" Li Huaide took out two soft sleeper tickets from his jacket pocket and handed one to Xiaodang. Xiaodang took the ticket, looked at it, and said, "It's almost time. Let's go!"

"Yeah!" Li Huaide responded and went to the train station with Xiaodang.

Yan Jiecheng, who had just got off work, walked past Xiaodang and Li Huaide. Suddenly, Yan Jiecheng stopped, turned his head and looked at Xiaodang's back, muttering: "Isn't this Qin Huairu's daughter?! Why is she at the train station?!" After hesitating for a few seconds, Yan Jiecheng couldn't think of an answer and turned away.

Half an hour later, Yan Jiecheng returned home. Yan Jiecheng handed the briefcase to Qin Jingru and said, "Jingru, when I came back, I saw Qin Huairu's eldest daughter Xiaodang."

Qin Jingru said: "Xiao Dang is quite a big shot now. He followed a man to the south a few years ago. Later, for some reason, Xiao Dang went to Hong Kong City. Now he is considered to be a successful person."

Yan Jiecheng said: "I saw an old man following her. Could it be that Xiaodang is being kept by someone?!"

Qin Jingru frowned and said, "This is impossible?!"

Yan Jiecheng chuckled and said, "What's impossible?! They say that if the top beam is not straight, the bottom beam will be crooked. What kind of person is Qin Huairu? Can the daughter she gave birth to be good?!"

Qin Jingru sighed and said, "The reputation of our Qin family has been ruined by Qin Huairu. Fortunately, Qin Huairu has benefited from the new society. If it were the old days, Qin Huairu would have been thrown into the pig cage long ago."

After listening to Qin Jingru's words, Yan Jiecheng smiled and said nothing more. He picked up his son, walked to the table and prepared to eat.

Three days passed in a flash, and Xiaodang followed Li Huaide to Hong Kong. After leaving the airport, Xiaodang and Li Huaide got into a taxi. When they reached Queen's Road West, Xiaodang got off the taxi with Li Huaide. After walking for a while, Li Huaide took Xiaodang into an apartment building.

This apartment building has four households per floor. Li Huaide's house is the first room on the east side of the third floor. When they reached the door, Li Huaide took out the key, opened the door, and walked in with Xiaodang. Xiaodang looked at the furnishings in the room and asked, "Is this your house in Gangcheng?!"

Li Huaide said: "This is just one of my places to stay in Hong Kong City. Tomorrow I will take you to go through the formalities and transfer this house to you."

Xiao Dang nodded thoughtfully and said, "I followed you for a while before. I know you very well. You can't give me money and a house just to sleep with me?! Tell me! What do you want me to do?! It's better for us to make things clear."

"Great!" Li Huaide agreed with a smile, and took Xiao Dang to the sofa and sat down, saying, "I'm doing business now. I need a reliable person to help me keep an eye on the goods."

Xiao Dang laughed and said, "These goods must not be seen in public, right?!"

Li Huaide said: "It's not that they are not allowed to be seen in public, they are just some small household appliances. It's just that these household appliances are not brought into the mainland through normal channels."

Xiao Dang said thoughtfully: "How can a weak woman like me keep an eye on those things?!"

Li Huaide laughed and said, "Just keep an eye on the goods getting on board. You don't have to worry about anything else. In addition to this house, I will give you 20,000 Hong Kong dollars a month and buy you a car. As long as you do a good job, you will always have money in the future!"

Xiao Dang snuggled into Li Huaide's arms and said, "Since I promised you, I will definitely get things done."

Li Huaide pinched Xiaodang's chin and said, "You girl, you are such a troublemaker." After that, Li Huaide pressed on Xiaodang.

More than an hour later, Li Huaide sat on the bed and lit a cigarette. Xiaodang raised his cup, leaned on Li Huaide, and said, "Lao Li, I don't know anything about what you do. You have to guide me!"

Li Huaide laughed and said, "Don't worry! I will definitely take good care of you. And I will teach you step by step."

At the same time, in Sijiu City.

Qin Huairu sat at the table, holding a bowl of rice in her hand, and kept sighing. Huaihua saw that her mother was in a bad mood, and couldn't help but said: "Mom, you have been sighing since my sister left. If you are worried about my sister, you can go with her!"

Qin Huairu glared at Huaihua and said, "Isn't it because of you? If it weren't for you, I would have gone to Hong Kong City with your sister to enjoy life."
