Outsider: The Fifth Young Master of the Kang Family

Chapter 213 Ajuan and Mr. Mai

"Uncle Yao, after dinner, can you help me find some information on the Internet? I need to write an essay."

There are several computers at home, and even Tianxiu's room is equipped with one, but the second brother and second sister-in-law are afraid that he will lose his ambition and play with things, so they did not install an Internet cable for him. Tianxiu wants to find information on the Internet, so he can only ask his uncles for help. A Zu went abroad to accompany Diana to give birth, and he dared not ask A Yao, so he could only ask Kang Qirui for help.

"Uncle Yao is busy tonight, so you can go to my room and turn on the computer to look for it yourself." Kang Qirui didn't really refuse him, but he had to sort out the manuscript of his new book in the evening and really didn't have time to help him find the information himself.

After repeatedly delaying the writing of his book, The Rhyme Reading of the Book of Songs and the Rhyme Reading of Chuci, he finally finished it. This book is mainly an extension of some of his research results during his doctoral studies. He started writing when Zhu Wanling was pregnant, and the progress was basically suspended after his daughter was born. His teacher has urged him several times these days, so he basically deals with this matter at night.

Tianxiu naturally had no objection. If he was allowed to look up information by himself, he could still play on the computer secretly. Second sister-in-law knew what he was planning when she saw Tianxiu's excited face. She rolled her eyes at Tianxiu and said, "Uncle, please help me keep an eye on him. Let him go back to his room to do his homework after finding the information. Don't let him play on the computer secretly. Also, you have to be sweet-mouthed and diligent when asking people to do things for you. Didn't you see that Uncle's bowl is empty? Go and help Uncle serve the rice." The last two sentences were said to Tianxiu.

Kang Qirui waved his hand to indicate that he was full and asked Tianxiu to continue eating. Er Lao sighed: "Our A Rui is really playing both sides!"

Kang Qirui was dumbfounded. What, what, what, isn't this just an unjust accusation for no reason?
"Uncle, what do you mean by this?" Zhu Wanling asked seriously with a frown.

"Kill two birds with one stone, right?" Er Lao was also stunned, he said: "I said A Rui can do his own work while supervising Xiu Zi, killing two birds with one stone."

Zhu Wanling and Kang Qirui both breathed a sigh of relief. Kang Qirui said helplessly, "Kill two birds with one stone, then kill two birds with one stone. What do you mean by having one foot in two boats? Er Lao, you said what you really want to say, right?"

When Er Lao was thinking about retorting, someone knocked on the door. Kang Qirui, who had just finished his meal, stood up and went to open the door. Er Lao had so much to say that he couldn't even eat. Kang Qirui walked into the living room and saw A Juan and Mr. Mai walk in.

"Ah Rui, we came in directly because you didn't close the door. I'm sorry if I delayed your dinner, right?" Mr. Mai said apologetically. They rented the house from Mrs. Zhu, and Kang Qirui was half the landlord, so he spoke politely.

"It's okay, I'm full." Kang Qirui waved his hand and said, "Sit down, sit down. I'll pour you a cup of tea."

Kang Qirui brought them tea and chatted for a while, and then the old lady came out after finishing her meal. There were guests, and although Kang Qirui had things to deal with, he couldn't leave immediately, so he sat beside them and chatted with them.

"Uncle Kang, Aunt Kang, this is what's happening. I want to transfer her household registration to your place." After three rounds of tea, Mr. Mai stated his purpose.

The nanny and dad looked at each other and said in surprise, "Another move of household registration?" Her exclamation made the second brother and his wife, who loved to watch the fun, pick up two chopsticks of food and put them in their bowls, then walked out holding the bowls to watch the fun.

"Mr. Mai, do you also want to come to Guangfu to study?" The second brother walked up to Mr. Mai with food in his mouth, "Don't do that. The pressure here in Guangfu is high and the competition is fierce. You have to score dozens of points more to get into a good school." He repeated what Kang Qirui and Brother Niu said yesterday.

"No, no, it's her." Mr. Mai pointed at Ajuan and said with a smile.

"Oh, it's Mrs. Mai, that's different." The second brother's eyes lit up when he saw the woman, which made the second sister-in-law so angry that she held the bowl and chopsticks in one hand and pinched the second brother's ear with the other hand and said angrily: "You poor old man, do you think you are so humorous? Eat your meal."

The mother turned around to stop them from arguing, and then asked Mr. Mai and Ajuan, "Mrs. Mai, why did you want to transfer your household registration to me for no reason?"

Upon hearing this, Juan stood up and sat next to the mother, holding her hand and said pitifully, "It's like this, I used to be an accountant in my hometown in southern Hunan, and after I came here, I wanted to find another accounting job. But in the end, people didn't even consider my experience and ability, and I couldn't find a job just because I didn't have a Cantonese hukou."

"I heard today that you helped a few people move their household registrations in, so we..." Mr. Mai also said frankly, and the maid interrupted him quickly, "Oh, those people's household registrations haven't been processed, and they are more or less related to us."

The mother said it in a more tactful way, while the second sister-in-law was more direct, "Mrs. Mai, we don't know anything about you. We can't even use a computer to figure out how we are related. How can we help you?"

"If you don't help me, I won't be able to find a job in my life." Ajuan continued to play the sympathy game and almost cried.

Kang Qirui wanted to go back to his room a long time ago, but he couldn't leave without permission as he was the first one to greet the guests. This was the family rule of the Kang family. He made a suggestion: "How about this, why don't you go to my Er Lao Tea Restaurant and work as a waiter?"

The second brother had no objection and nodded in agreement immediately. But Ajuan was not happy, "I majored in accounting, I don't do other jobs." "Mrs. Mai, I'm really sorry, we are powerless to help you with this matter." The mother patted Ajuan's hand and said, "Besides, even if we are willing to help you, what reason do you have to move to our house?"

"Grandma, even if she has a reason, we can't agree to her request. Our Kang family is well-known for being law-abiding citizens. We will not do such illegal things." The second sister-in-law didn't like Ajuan, and her words were almost like an order to leave.

Mr. Mai is a businessman, so he naturally understands. "That's right, I'm so sorry, we'll leave first." He said and forcibly pulled Ajuan out of Kang's house. When he could no longer see them, Kang Qirui immediately stood up and went back to his room to busy himself.

Everyone thought that the incident was over, but the next night, Mr. Mai and Ajuan came again. Mr. Mai asked the workers to carry a large box into the Kang family. "Uncle Kang, Aunt Kang, this is a home theater. It's great for watching TV movies and listening to Cantonese opera. It's a gift for you."

"How can that be embarrassing! No merit, no reward. We can't accept such an expensive gift from you." Although the old man sometimes likes to take advantage of small gains, he also understands the principle of being nice to others, so he decisively refused.

"Mr. Kang, this is the thing. Didn't we say yesterday that we would move our household registration to your place? We bought this gift to thank you." Mr. Mai said with a smile.

Dou knew what they were up to without even asking, and stressed, "Boss Mai, we didn't agree to this. You can take it back. We can't afford it."

"Uncle Kang, listen to me. Didn't you ask me yesterday why I should move to your Kang family? We thought about it all night and finally came up with a solution." Mr. Mai smiled even more and said excitedly, "Let's say you had a daughter who was very cute and was abducted to southern Hunan. We have been looking for her for many years and now we have finally found her, so we want to move her household registration back."

"Mr. Mai, isn't this fraud?" said the old man.

"How can this be considered as fraud? It's about helping others and solving their problems." Mr. Mai is indeed a businessman, and he knows what it means to change concepts. After he finished speaking, he did not forget to wink at A Juan, who burst into tears after receiving the signal, "I am so pitiful. I lost my parents when I was young, and I don't have any relatives in Xiangnan, but my household registration is in Xiangnan. You have so many relatives in Guangzhou, but I don't have a household registration. Woo woo woo."

"Oh my," the second sister-in-law imitated her tone and said sarcastically, "You have so many relatives like us in Guangzhou? But how come I don't know that you are our relative?"

A Juan ignored her second sister-in-law and continued to cry loudly, "Aunt Kang, I know you are a good person. Can you help me this time? I beg you."

"We have lived here all our lives, and everyone knows that I have never given birth to a daughter. Who would believe me if I told them that you are my daughter or that you were kidnapped when you were a child?" The mother was also helpless.

Mr. Mai thought for a moment, rolled his eyes, and said, "How about this? You can just say that you are the over-birth guerrillas, and that the daughter was born secretly, so no one knows. Isn't that okay?"

"At that time, we believed that there was strength in numbers. There was no such thing as a birth control guerrilla team," said Lao Dou.

"You can say that." Ajuan quickly thought of another explanation. "I was born during difficult times, and they gave me away because they had no food to eat. The police station shouldn't investigate things that happened decades ago." The more she spoke, the harder she cried.

The old man was getting impatient, and he slammed the cup in his hand onto the table, saying, "Mrs. Mai, do you have to cry so miserably? It's even more miserable than the old man's death!"

The mother was soft-hearted. She was moved by Ajuan's crying and thought that the method she proposed was not a bad idea. She tried to test the old man: "Uncle, how about this?"

The old man waved his hands, his attitude was still very firm, "No, if the police station wants to do a paternity test, we will be in trouble." He advised Mr. Mai and A Juan, "As for the household registration issue, I advise you to forget about it. Director A Yao, who has money and power, can't handle it, so how can you do it? You want to do it just because you think so? Do you think they won't do a test? And they can just move you in casually?"

Ajuan's crying was so loud that Kang Qirui in the room couldn't stand it. He was already anxious and became even more impatient. He came out and said directly: "Mr. Mai, when I registered your information for renting the house, you had a Cantonese household registration and you also run your own company. I would like to ask, first, why didn't you arrange a job for Ajuan in your company? Second, why didn't you let Ajuan move into your household registration but had to move it to our Kang family?"

"Uh" Mr. Mai was speechless and at a loss. Kang Qirui didn't want to listen to his explanation and continued, "Your business has nothing to do with me. I don't want to get involved. I hope you don't let us get involved."

Mr. Mai nodded, said nothing, and left with Ajuan.
