Courtyard House: Drunk and barging into the Xu family's house, I woke up numb.

"Now, this is going to be interesting."

"I'd better light the stove first; it's unbearable to be in this cold house without some warmth."

..................................................................

Qin Huairu was delighted to hear He Daqing's words at the He family's residence in the Intermediate People's Court.

"Uncle He, so you agree to this?"

"Agreed? Of course I would agree," He Daqing laughed.

"Xiao Qin, I just heard you say that Sha Zhu has been helping your family all these years."

"I don't know if he gave your family money or effort, but is it worth it for you to make Bang Geng his godson to repay a debt of gratitude?"

Before Qin Huairu could speak, Xu Damao, who had heard the news and rushed over to join in the fun, shouted.

"Uncle He, you don't know this, do you? Your son Shazhu really put in both money and effort."

"He gave almost all the vegetables he brought back from the factory to the Jia family, to Qin Huairu, am I right?"

When He Daqing saw Xu Damao causing trouble, he was furious.

"Xu Damao, you son of a bitch."

"I didn't go looking for you, but you delivered yourself to my door."

"What, do you think your old man is too old to lift a knife anymore?"

With a whoosh, a teacup flew past Xu Damao's face and shattered into several pieces on the open ground outside the house.

Seeing this, Xu Damao didn't dare to linger and ran away in a flash.

He Daqing watched Xu Damao escape and didn't bother with him.

He Daqing remembered that Xu Damao had beaten Sha Zhu into a childless state, but he had also been crippled by Sha Zhu. They would settle that matter later.

The biggest problem now is that little bitch Qin Huairu and that old sly bastard Yi Zhonghai.

"Ignore him, I'll deal with this kid later."

"I don't want to get my hands dirty during the Chinese New Year!"

When He Daqing's words reached everyone's ears, they all found them quite ridiculous.

If you were afraid of getting your hands dirty, why did you take a belt and whip Yi Zhonghai until he was crawling on the ground with his teeth knocked out?

To avoid getting your hands dirty, you even threw a teacup at Xu Damao. If he hadn't dodged in time, you would have disfigured him.

He Daqing was unaware of what everyone was thinking. If he had known, he would have simply said, "Yes, I hit him, but I didn't use my hands."

Yi Zhonghai was whipped with a belt, and Xu Damao was hit with a hammer. What does that have to do with my hands? My hands are perfectly clean.

“Uncle He, everyone in the neighborhood knows about our family’s situation. It’s really tough. I’m the only one supporting this whole family. Over the years, we’ve relied entirely on the help from the people in the neighborhood.”

"Zhu Zi has contributed both his time and money, and has helped our family a lot."

“Sometimes I’m broke at the end of the month and there’s no food at home, so Zhuzi helps us out.”

"Our whole family will remember this kindness."

He Daqing laughed.

“We live next door, so it’s only right that Sha Zhu helps you with some work and lends you some money when you’re in trouble. It’s not excessive.”

"Our compound's fine tradition is mutual help and support; if one family is in trouble, the whole compound will lend a hand."

"But I'd like to ask, how much money does Sha Zhu lend you each month?"

How much money did Sha Zhu lend her?

Qin Huairu had lost count and couldn't possibly remember every single detail.

However, Qin Huairu did know that Sha Zhu used at least half of his monthly salary to help their family, either by lending money or by giving them gifts.

"This……"

Seeing that Qin Huairu remained silent, He Daqing sneered inwardly, but still wore a smile on his face.

"I think you should be able to earn at least three or five yuan, otherwise life would be really hard."

Qin Huairu nodded.

"some."

She couldn't renege on this debt; three to five yuan a month was really too little, not even enough to cover the difference.

Although Sha Zhu never asked for the money back, he must have known what it was.

If you don't even recognize small change like three or five yuan, what will Sha Zhu think?

Seeing that Qin Huairu had accepted it, He Daqing waved his hand and said.

"In that case, I'll take the middle ground and pay four yuan a month."

“I heard from Yushui that Dongxu has been gone for almost five years. If that’s the case, it’s only fifty yuan a year.”

"Over the past five years, I should have made at least 250 yuan."

Seeing that Qin Huairu did not refute, He Daqing asked again.

"Xiao Qin, I'd like to ask, how much of this money have you returned?"

Seeing Qin Huairu in such a predicament, He Yuzhu couldn't bear to listen any longer and spoke up to help her out.

"Dad, you don't know the situation, can you please not talk nonsense?"

"This money wasn't borrowed by Sister Qin, so why are you asking her to pay it back?"

He Yuzhu's words nearly made He Daqing's lungs explode with anger.

Everyone says girls are outgoing, but I never expected my son to side with someone else's family.

"It wasn't borrowed, so you didn't just give it to me for free?"

He Yuzhu snorted.

“Look at you, you haven’t been home for over ten years, and when you finally come back you beat up some old man and then start nitpicking.”

"You don't understand the situation, yet you spout nonsense."

"Do you know that for the past few years, Sister Qin has been washing my clothes and cleaning my house? This money is her salary."

"As a chef, you have to change your clothes every other day, and in the summer you have to change them every day."

"They do laundry and clean the house, is a few dollars a month a lot?"

He Daqing slammed his fist on the table.

"Fine, you silly Zhu, you may not have the life of a young master, but you have all the symptoms of one."

"What, are you the only one in this courtyard who's delicate and pampered?"

"Can't you do your own laundry and tidy up the house? Don't you have hands?"

"You're thirty years old, living in two decent-sized rooms, and making thirty-seven yuan and fifty cents a month. Don't you know how to get married?"

"If you had married a wife earlier, you wouldn't be in this situation!"

He Daqing slammed his fist on the table, and He Yuzhu's stubborn temper flared up as well.

"He Daqing, whether I get married or not is none of your business."

"After all these years, you come back, and now that I'm in trouble, you run back to watch the show? Is this how a father should act?"

He Daqing pointed at his nose and cursed.

"What kind of son are you?"

"You start by calling me by my full name the moment you open your mouth!"

"Didn't you think it had nothing to do with me?"

"Okay, now go pack your things, and you can go wherever you want once you leave this room."

"My He family can't let go of such a great figure as you!"

He Daqing's words were undeniably harsh; they were tantamount to kicking his son out.

Seeing this, Qin Huairu quickly came out to persuade her.

"Uncle He, please calm down. Father and son don't hold grudges overnight. These were just words spoken in anger, don't take them seriously."

"We accept the money you just mentioned, but we really can't afford to spend it right now."

"But don't worry, I've been promoted to a permanent position and received a raise. I'll definitely pay Zhu Zi back when I have the money."

Qin Huairu is indeed a smart woman; she spoke her words with remarkable clarity and decisiveness.

You said I owe money, I admit it, but I don't have any.

However, I'll acknowledge the debt. We'll settle the accounts when we have more money. When that will be depends on the situation.
