Huayu96: My Thirty Years of a Prodigal Son

Yuan Quan fell silent.

Qin Sheng's words struck a chord with her.

Those thugs were fooled today, but what if they realize what's going on later?

That will be even more troublesome.

She didn't dare to gamble.

While hesitating, Qin Sheng spoke again.

"If you feel it's inconvenient to stay at my place, you can go and look for a house yourself and find a safe neighborhood."

If you need money, I'll lend it to you first.

You can pay me back when you have income.

I didn't mean anything by it; I'm just genuinely worried about your safety.

After listening to Qin Sheng's words, Zeng Li looked at Yuan Quan with some urgency.

She really couldn't understand it; staying with Qin Sheng was so much better!

Why is Yuan Quan unwilling?

Yuan Quan stared at Qin Sheng for a long time.

Qin Sheng's expression remained calm and unhurried.

Yuan Quan finally sighed.

Well, judging from Zeng Li's attitude, it's probably impossible to stop him now.

It would be better to move in there and live together day and night, which would give me the opportunity to ask Qin Sheng for help.

Moreover, moving there would mean she wouldn't have to spend extra money on rent, which would reduce her financial burden.

"Let's go tomorrow. We'll go check out your house first."

Zeng Li's eyes immediately curved into a smile, and his face beamed with joy.

Qin Sheng nodded.

"Okay, come over tomorrow. I'll write down the address for you."

After giving his instructions, Qin Sheng took his leave.

Yuan Quan and Zeng Li walked hand in hand into the village.

Walking down the street, Zeng Li said to Yuan Quan with a grin:

"Yuan Quan! You've finally come to your senses!"

Yuan Quan glanced at her indifferently.

"If I don't agree, the sound of you turning the abacus beads will deafen me."

Zeng Li chuckled and shook Yuan Quan's arm.

Anyway, I think Qin Sheng is pretty good.

Upon hearing this, Yuan Quan sighed inwardly.

He's good to you, of course, but I... sigh!

Nothing happened that night, and the next morning at ten o'clock.

Following the address Qin Sheng wrote down, Yuan Quan and Zeng Li found the residential area where he lived.

The residential compound is a staff quarters for employees of a work unit. The exterior walls are covered with white tiles, and the stairwells are clean and tidy.

There's an old man guarding the entrance; strangers have to register to enter or leave.

This access control alone is a hundred times better than the one in the village they lived in before.

Find Qin Sheng's apartment building, go upstairs, and knock on the door.

Qin Sheng opened the door with a smile on his face.

Upon entering, he led the two women to see the room.

Yuan Quan carefully inspected the layout and decoration of the three-bedroom apartment.

The living room is spacious and faces south, so it is well-ventilated and sunny.

The kitchen is small, but it is fully equipped with all the necessary utensils.

The three bedrooms are located on both sides of the corridor. Qin Sheng lives in the innermost one, while the other two are empty.

After reading it, Yuan Quan nodded.

She was quite satisfied to be able to live in such a place in the capital.

Zeng Li, on the other hand, only glanced around a few times after entering before starting to chat idly behind Qin Sheng.

"Qin Sheng, the gatekeeper is registering so carefully!"

How did you usually get in and out at night? Didn't he stop you from coming in?

Qin Sheng laughed and said, "Simple! It's just a matter of one pack of cigarettes!"

Zeng Li was somewhat taken aback upon hearing this.

"Goodness gracious! No wonder this is the capital; even the gatekeepers accept gifts from Chinese cigarettes!"

Qin Sheng was amused by Zeng Li's innocence and laughed again.

"My standards are a bit too high. It's not like everyone gives cigarettes to the gatekeeper."

Zeng Li suddenly realized: "No wonder his attitude improved so much after I told him your address when I came in."

After Yuan Quan finished reading, Qin Sheng asked with a smile, "How was it?"

Yuan Quan didn't answer immediately, but looked at Zeng Li.

Zeng Li clasped his hands together in a pleading gesture and looked at Yuan Quan expectantly.

Yuan Quan finally nodded.

"Alright, let's move it."

"yeah!!!"

Zeng Li cheered and jumped up.

So the three of them stopped talking and immediately went out to return to the village to move their things.

The two didn't have much stuff; it was all packed into two boxes.

As for some odds and ends, Qin Sheng strongly insisted on putting the old ones away... oh no, discarding the old ones and buying new ones.

The two women insisted for a while, but couldn't persuade Qin Sheng otherwise, and finally nodded in agreement.

By the time the move was finished and everything was tidied up, it was already noon.

Qin Sheng clapped his hands and laughed:

"To celebrate the arrival of my two new roommates, I'm treating everyone to lunch today. Let's have a nice meal."

Zeng Li waved his hand.

"No, we're already staying at your place, how can we possibly eat your food again? Let's cook, that way we'll save money."

Qin Sheng was taken aback.

"You can cook?"

Zeng Li finally revealed a confident smile and stopped looking at Yuan Quan's expression.

He hummed proudly twice and said, "I may not be good at anything else, but I'm quite skilled at cooking."

For all these years, Yuan Quan has relied on my cooking to support her!

Qin Sheng glanced at Yuan Quan, and seeing that she did not refute him, he knew that Zeng Li was telling the truth.

Hey!

I never expected this girl to be so elegant and capable, and also so skilled in the kitchen!

This is a huge profit!

Zeng Li didn't hesitate; he rolled up his sleeves and went into the kitchen to inspect his territory.

I rummaged through the cupboard; it was empty.

I checked the refrigerator again, but it was empty.

Zeng Li grumbled smugly, feigning dissatisfaction, "Oh dear, it seems you don't usually cook. How can that be?"

Eating out is neither clean nor healthy, and it's also a waste of money!

You men, what kind of life do you live if you don't have a woman to take care of you at home!

These are the words her mother often said about her father at home.

It just slipped out at that moment.

However, after saying it, she realized that her words were somewhat ambiguous.

Glancing at the two of them, he saw Qin Sheng smiling broadly, while Yuan Quan was glaring at him again.

Zeng Li stuck out her tongue and quickly changed the subject.

"Let's go to the market to buy groceries, I'll show you how to cook."

The three of them went downstairs and left the residential area. After walking along the road for less than five minutes, they saw a vegetable market.

As soon as Zeng Li entered the market, her aura changed immediately, and she became confident as if she were a completely different person.

How much does pork cost per pound?

Six pieces.

"How about five yuan? I'll buy two more pounds."

Qin Sheng followed behind, carrying a bag, watching with a smile as Zeng Li picked and chose vegetables at the stall, looking quite pleased with himself.

This girl is a good person at managing a household!

Yuan Quan walked at the very back, her gaze shifting between Qin Sheng and Zeng Li.

These two have only been living together for one day, how come they already seem like a married couple?

After returning home from grocery shopping, Zeng Li chased the two out of the kitchen.

"Don't make things worse, wait in the living room."

The two then went to the living room, where they watched TV and chatted idly.

Soon, the aroma of the dishes wafted out.

"Qin Sheng! Come and serve the dishes!"

"They're here!"

Qin Sheng got up excitedly.

After the four dishes and one soup were laid out on the table, Zeng Li's face was slightly sweaty, but she waved her chopsticks with a smug look on her face.

"Let's eat."

Qin Sheng smiled and clinked his chopsticks with Zeng Li's.

"Congratulations on the start of our new life."

"Yes, yes, we should congratulate them." Zeng Li nodded quickly.

Looking at the gentle, poised, and hardworking Zeng Li, Qin Sheng smiled with satisfaction.

I can't miss out on such a wonderful girl who is both elegant and domestic!
