Siheyuan: A Very Happy Era

Chapter 608 This is too scary

"Sigh, you should ask them yourself!" Madam Jia sighed with mixed feelings, then got up and went into the inner room, wanting to find some peace and quiet.

Anyway, now that the feud between Bang Geng and Li Guoqiang has been settled, and Qin Huairu has reconciled with Li Guoqiang, she no longer needs to worry about retirement or the continuation of the Jia family line.

As long as it doesn't affect these two issues, then it doesn't matter to her no matter what.

"Bang Geng, what's going on?" Seeing this, Qin Huairu could only turn her attention back to Bang Geng.

"Mom, I told you about what happened between you and him!" Banggeng replied in a low voice, his head down.

"You told me? You told me everything?" Qin Huairu's eyes widened, and she questioned him with a mixture of shock and anger.

"Yes, I told them everything!" Banggeng looked up at Qin Huairu and then nodded vigorously.

Upon hearing "you," Qin Huairu felt a wave of dizziness wash over her.

If Banggeng hadn't noticed something was wrong and quickly stepped forward to support her, she probably would have fallen straight to the ground.

"Why did you do this? Didn't I tell you to keep this to yourself?" Qin Huairu stared intently at Bang Geng, scolding him with a hint of exasperation.

"Mom, I just didn't want Xiaodang and Huaihua to be fooled by him, and I also felt that this matter shouldn't be kept from them!" Bang stubbornly argued.

"Get lost! You think I told you not to say anything because I was worried that Xiaodang and Huaihua would find out? I was worried that you two wouldn't be able to keep your mouths shut and would accidentally tell everyone. Then how would I face people in the future?" Qin Huairu said angrily.

Upon hearing this, "I" Bang Geng was speechless.

Although he wasn't particularly capable, he understood the principle that things not kept secret can lead to disaster.

But now, no matter how much I regret it, it's too late.

He can't just take back what he said, can he?

"Alright, now that you've brought this up, I'll make my stance clear in front of you three siblings." Qin Huairu said, sitting down on the stool. Her gaze swept across the faces of Banggeng, Xiaodang, and Huaihua.

Then, she straightened her expression and said earnestly, "In this life, I have no other wish than for you to be successful and live a good life."

In addition, Mom also admits that she was wrong to do this and that she shouldn't have kept it from you.

But Mom has no choice! You are all in the countryside, and you all need a lot of money from home every month. And your grandma, every month we not only have to spend money on painkillers, but also give her some money for her retirement.

In addition, Qiangzi has actually been quite good to me, and my mother also likes being with him, so these past ten years or so have passed by in a daze.

Regardless of what you think now, Mom only begs you to please leave this matter alone, for the sake of how hard I worked to raise you.

As she said this, her eyes reddened slightly, and she lowered her head somewhat embarrassedly to wipe away her tears.

When Xiao Dang and Huaihua saw Qin Huairu like this, they felt a pang of heartache and quickly got up to go over to her, whispering words of comfort.

"Mom, we don't blame you."

"Mom, we promise we won't tell anyone."

"Yes, Mom, you've worked so hard all these years, we won't blame you."

At this moment, Banggeng also stepped forward and earnestly comforted Qin Huairu.

In fact, in his view, if we put aside his grudges with Li Guoqiang, it was a rare good thing that Qin Huairu was able to follow Li Guoqiang.

After all, Qin Huairu was not only much older than Li Guoqiang, but also a mother of several children.

Li Guoqiang is not only young and rich, but also extremely handsome.

To be honest, Qin Huairu benefited the most!
Moreover, if it weren't for Li Guoqiang's constant support for Qin Huairu, their family might not be in such a state now!
Furthermore, although he didn't want to admit it, after being spurred on by that 1000 yuan, he still very much hoped that Qin Huairu could continue to follow Li Guoqiang.

Even if he can no longer get money from Li Guoqiang in the future, at least he won't have to worry about Qin Huairu's future.

"Yes, you are all my good children!" Qin Huairu couldn't help but smile with relief when she heard her three children's words.

Then, she looked at Banggeng, hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "Banggeng, why don't you give some of that thousand yuan to your sister?"

"Okay!" Upon hearing this, Banggeng not only showed no reluctance but also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Because this way, he wouldn't have to worry about Xiao Dang and Huaihua saying he had no backbone in the future.

He quickly divided the more than 900 yuan on the table into two portions of 300 yuan each, and then stuffed them into Xiaodang and Huaihua's hands respectively.

Xiao Dang and Huaihua stared at the money in their hands, momentarily stunned, unsure whether they should accept it or not.

"Alright, since your brother has given them to you, then you can take them without worry." Qin Huairu reached out and patted Xiaodang and Huaihua's arms respectively.

Then, before Xiaodang and Huaihua could react, she continued, "Also, starting today, you can keep your own wages! You don't need to give them to Mom anymore."

"No, Mom, what do you mean?" Huaihua's eyes widened, and she asked with some confusion.

"Can't you understand? What Mom means is that she'll have Qiangzi taking care of her from now on, and we won't need to pay for her retirement anymore!" Xiao Dang rolled her eyes and then explained somewhat sourly.

"Mom, is what my sister said true?" Upon hearing this, Huaihua suddenly felt a little envious.

"Yes, Qiangzi said that as long as I follow him faithfully, he will give me 300 yuan every month." Qin Huairu nodded, a little embarrassed but also with a sweet smile.

"No, he really will give you 300 yuan every month from now on?" Huaihua's eyes widened suddenly, her face full of disbelief.

After all, these days, an average worker earns only forty or fifty yuan a month, and even if some people earn a little more, it's only around eighty or ninety yuan a month.

That 300 yuan a month is equivalent to three or four months' salary for some people.

And, most importantly, it will be available every month from now on.

In that case, what's the difference between that and having a golden rice bowl?
If she could earn 300 yuan a month, her life would be incredibly comfortable!

Thinking of this, the shock in her eyes slowly turned into envy.

"Mom, you're not wrong, are you? He's really willing to give you that much money?" Xiao Dang was stunned for a moment, then asked in surprise.

Before Qin Huairu could even reply, Banggeng interrupted, somewhat annoyed, "Alright, stop making such a fuss. He can easily pull out hundreds of thousands and just throw them in front of me. 300 yuan a month is nothing to him." "What? Hundreds of thousands?" Xiaodang and Huaihua exclaimed in unison upon hearing Banggeng's words.

"That's right, I estimate it should be at least seven or eight hundred thousand!" Bang Geng nodded, a hint of envy showing on his face.

As a man, wouldn't he also like Li Guoqiang, casually throwing hundreds of thousands of yuan in front of others?

Unfortunately, he doesn't even have a formal job right now, so he doesn't dare to think about that much.

"Mom, is what my brother said true?" Huaihua grabbed Qin Huairu's arm, her face showing a hint of urgency.

Although Xiao Dang didn't say anything, her gaze was fixed on Qin Huairu.

"Really!" Qin Huairu nodded with certainty.

Then, after a slight hesitation, in order to avoid any further negative thoughts about Li Guoqiang, she finally decided to reveal a little more information.

"Moreover, as far as I know, he has at least tens of millions of dollars at his disposal."

"No, you're not mistaken, are you? Are you sure it's tens of millions? Not just a few million?" Xiao Dang stared at Qin Huairu in disbelief.

"This is terrifying!" Huaihua muttered to herself, somewhat stunned.

"..." Bang Geng's pupils suddenly contracted, and then he swallowed with some difficulty.

He originally thought that even if Li Guoqiang was very powerful, he would only have a few million in assets at most.

To his surprise, the reality was at least ten times more complicated than he had imagined.

If all of this is true, then he probably won't have any chance in his life to regain face in front of Li Guoqiang.

Thinking of this, his slightly straightened back bent completely, and a look of dejection appeared on his face.

Seeing the three children's reactions, Qin Huairu silently swallowed the words she was about to say.

Actually, she originally wanted to say that Li Guoqiang's net worth might be over 100 million.

However, she did not expect that simply mentioning the number of tens of millions would frighten the three children to this extent.

However, upon further reflection, she realized it was quite normal.

After all, when she learned of this possibility from Li Guoqiang, she was so shocked that her heart trembled and her legs went weak.

"Mom, since he's so rich, why don't you ask him for more?" Xiao Dang asked immediately after regaining her senses.

“Yes! Mom, you’ve been with him like that, how come he still gives you such a small amount of money?” Huaihua asked, puzzled.

As for the "sticky" thing, he did want to ask, but he was afraid of being misunderstood by Qin Huairu, so he didn't dare to.

"Look at what you're saying! Don't you know how old Mom is? He's already more than satisfied with the amount of money he promised to give her!" Qin Huairu rolled her eyes in annoyance.

As she spoke, she suddenly spotted Jia Zhangshi eavesdropping at the doorway of the inner room out of the corner of her eye. A slight smile appeared on her face, and she quickly continued:

"In addition, he also promised to give your grandmother 100 yuan a month for her retirement!"

Upon hearing this, Banggeng, Xiaodang, and Huaihua were slightly taken aback, and then hurriedly turned their heads to look towards the inner room.

Upon hearing this, Madam Jia immediately revealed a delighted smile.

It was worth it for her to support Qin Huairu and Li Guoqiang being together; Li Guoqiang is indeed a thoughtful guy.

Soon, she couldn't help but think about how she should spend the 100 yuan she received each month.
As for encouraging Qin Huairu to ask Li Guoqiang for more, she didn't dare to even think about it.

Because she knew that Li Guoqiang always meant what he said.

If she dares to be greedy, then in the end, things will probably end up in chaos.

She'll be at a huge loss then.

"Alright, Mom has already told you all the details. You'd better keep these things to yourselves and don't tell anyone else. Otherwise, if you anger Qiangzi, our family will never have a good life again!" Qin Huairu warned with a serious expression.

"Mom, we understand!" Upon hearing this, Banggeng, Xiaodang, and Huaihua, thinking of Li Guoqiang's incredibly formidable wealth, immediately nodded and agreed.

Because they knew that even if Li Guoqiang simply threw money at them, he could still kill them.

"Okay, then I'm relieved!" Qin Huairu nodded with satisfaction, then got up and went into the inner room to rest.

She was the only one busy taking care of Li Guoqiang before, which exhausted her.

"Hey, I'm going out for a smoke!" Upon seeing this, Bang Geng immediately said this and turned to leave, wanting to have a smoke and calm down. He was afraid that he might lose control and ask Qin Huairu to ask Li Guoqiang to give his adopted son more money to spend.

After seeing Banggeng leave, Huaihua clutched the 300 yuan in her hand, hesitated for a while, and finally couldn't help but lean close to Xiaodang's ear and whispered:
"Sis, what should we do now?"

"What to do?"

Xiao Dang raised an eyebrow, then asked with a serious expression, "Huaihua, tell me the truth, if you were asked to go with Mom to take care of him, would you do it?"

"I...I don't know!" Huaihua opened her mouth, then shook her head with a troubled expression.

If she hadn't known that Li Guoqiang had so much money, and if she hadn't known how good Li Guoqiang was to Qin Huairu, she probably could have forcibly changed her mind about Li Guoqiang.

However, now that she knows that being with Li Guoqiang means becoming the concubine of a multi-millionaire, she really can't find a reason to refuse.

“You don’t know, but I do!” Xiao Dang’s eyes flashed, and then she spoke slowly and deliberately.

"You wouldn't agree to that, would you?" Huaihua's eyes widened slightly.

“That’s right! Anyway, Mom doesn’t plan to have any more children, and she’s getting old. She definitely needs someone to help her deal with the women around Brother Qiang!” Xiao Dang nodded, a shrewd look on his face.

Upon hearing this, Huaihua's eyes immediately lit up.

Then, she pursed her lips, and finally asked somewhat guiltily, "So how do you plan to convince Mom?"
