Chapter 1060 Qin Huairu Benefits from Being a Fisherman

Qin Huairu became angrier and angrier as she spoke, and began to cite examples of times when she had helped Qin Jingru when they were children.

  "Do you remember? When Qin Jingru was a child, she was bullied by some kids in the village. Who stood up to help her?

It was me! I fought with those kids for her and got hurt.

  Another time, she was sick and her family had no money for her treatment. Who went around borrowing money for her medical treatment?

It's still me! I've done so much for her, and now I just want her to do a little favor and she won't do it."

Xu Damao frowned and said impatiently: "Qin Huairu, what's the point of you saying this? What on earth do you want to talk to me about? Tell me quickly, I don't have that much time to chat with you here."

Qin Huairu looked at Xu Damao's impatient look and became even angrier, but she also knew that now was not the time to lose her temper.

She took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and then said, "Xu Damao, I came to you today because I have something important to tell you. This matter concerns your future and destiny."

When Xu Damao heard this, he immediately became nervous.

"What's the matter? Tell me quickly."

Xu Damao asked anxiously.

Qin Huairu deliberately kept it a secret, "Don't worry, this is a long story. Let's find a quiet place to talk about it slowly."

After saying that, Qin Huairu turned and walked towards a secluded corner.

Xu Damao hesitated for a moment and followed.

His heart was filled with doubts and uneasiness, and he didn't know what Qin Huairu wanted to tell him.

Xu Damao followed Qin Huairu to a remote corner, and his uneasiness grew stronger. "Qin Huairu, tell me what you want to say, don't keep me in suspense," Xu Damao urged.

Qin Huairu stopped and turned around, with a sly look in her eyes. "Xu Damao, do you know what Yi Zhonghai is planning recently?"

Xu Damao frowned, "Yi Zhonghai? What can he plan? I don't have anything in common with him."

Qin Huairu sneered, "Humph, don't underestimate Yi Zhonghai. He wants to bring you down by using those old lovers of yours."

Xu Damao's face changed. "What? Why does he do this? I didn't do anything bad."

Qin Huairu shrugged. "I don't know about that. Anyway, I heard what Sha Zhu said. Sha Zhu was used as a gun by Yi Zhonghai, and now he has seen Yi Zhonghai's true face. I am kindly reminding you that if you are defeated by Yi Zhonghai, you will lose your position as the leader of the new workshop."

Xu Damao gritted his teeth and said, "This Yi Zhonghai actually dared to do something behind my back. Then why did you tell me this?"

Qin Huairu smiled slightly, "It's very simple. I don't want to see you being ruined by Yi Zhonghai. After all, we are from the same compound, and we will see each other every day. Also, I hope that you can help me with some things in the future because I told you this."

Xu Damao pondered for a moment, "Okay, I understand. If this is true, I will not forget your kindness. But you'd better not lie to me, otherwise you will be in trouble. Now tell me, which woman did Yi Zhonghai find?"

It’s not that Xu Damao is not smart, the key is that when he went to the countryside to show movies, he met so many women that he couldn’t remember who they were at all.

Xu Damao looked at Qin Huairu, and seeing that she didn't say anything, he continued to ask, "Qin Huairu, tell me quickly."

Qin Huairu raised her chin slightly, her eyes revealing a hint of shrewdness. "Xu Damao, I can't tell you who that woman is. Think about it, if I tell you now, what bargaining chips do I have to negotiate with you? I'm taking a big risk by telling you this. If Yi Zhonghai finds out, I'll be in trouble. So, you have to give me some benefits first, and then I'll consider telling you the woman's name."

Xu Damao's eyes widened with anger when he heard this. "Qin Huairu, you are taking advantage of the situation! If you don't tell me, how can I know whether what you said is true or not? Maybe you are lying to me."

Qin Huairu said calmly, "Xu Damao, believe it or not. Anyway, I have already told you the news, you can do whatever you want. If you don't want to be ruined by Yi Zhonghai, find a way to deal with it quickly. As for the name of that woman, I will tell you when you give me benefits."

Xu Damao gritted his teeth, his heart filled with anger and helplessness. He knew that Qin Huairu was a shrewd woman and would not give in easily. But he could not ignore this news. After all, his new workshop leadership position was hard-won and could not be ruined by Yi Zhonghai.

"Okay, Qin Huairu, tell me, what benefits do you want?" Xu Damao finally compromised.

Qin Huairu's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a smug smile. "Xu Damao, I don't want much either, just give me fifty yuan. This fifty yuan is nothing to you, but for me, it can solve a lot of problems."

Xu Damao almost jumped up when he heard this. "Fifty dollars? Qin Huairu, you are too greedy! How can I give you that much money?"

Qin Huairu was unmoved. "Xu Damao, stop pretending. You are the leader of the new workshop now, and fifty yuan is not a problem for you. If you don't give it to me, I will leave, and you can deal with Yi Zhonghai yourself."

After saying that, Qin Huairu pretended to leave.

Xu Damao quickly stopped her and said, "Okay, Qin Huairu, I'll give you fifty yuan. But you must promise that the news you tell me is true, and tell me the name of that woman."

Qin Huairu nodded, "Don't worry, Xu Damao. I, Qin Huairu, keep my word. As long as you give me fifty yuan, I will tell you the name of that woman."

Xu Damao sighed helplessly, took out fifty yuan from his pocket and handed it to Qin Huairu. Qin Huairu took the money and showed a satisfied smile on her face. "Xu Damao, don't worry, I won't lie to you. That woman is..."

Qin Huairu leaned close to Xu Damao's ear and whispered the woman's name.

After hearing this, Xu Damao's face turned very ugly.

He didn't expect that Yi Zhonghai actually found that woman. Now he was in trouble.

He glared at Qin Huairu fiercely, "Qin Huairu, you'd better not lie to me, otherwise I won't forgive you."

"Don't worry, I, Qin Huairu, am not the kind of person who likes to lie!" Qin Huairu was very excited after getting the fifty yuan.

With these fifty dollars, she can live a good life for a month.

Just as Qin Huairu was about to leave, Xu Damao thought of a key issue.

That is, even though he already knew that Yi Zhonghai wanted Cui Lan to report him, there was nothing he could do.

After all, he did have an improper relationship with Cuilan back then. If Cuilan reported this to the security department of the steel mill, there would definitely be big trouble.

If only someone could help him stop Cuilan, or get Cuilan to change her testimony.

Xu Damao looked at Qin Huairu with a greedy face, and suddenly came up with a good idea. "Qin Huairu, do me a favor. Go and persuade Cuilan to change her statement and not report me." Xu Damao said anxiously.

When Qin Huairu heard this, her face changed immediately and she shook her head quickly, saying, "No, no, this is too dangerous. What if Cuilan doesn't listen to me? And if Yi Zhonghai and the others find out, I'll be in trouble." Seeing that Qin Huairu didn't agree, Xu Damao became anxious and said quickly, "Qin Huairu, please help me this time. As long as you can get Cuilan to change her confession, I won't treat you unfairly."

Qin Huairu was still hesitant, "I really don't dare, this matter is too risky."

Xu Damao gritted his teeth and took out another twenty yuan from his pocket, "Qin Huairu, I'll give you another twenty yuan, just do me a favor."

Qin Huairu looked at the twenty yuan and was a little hesitant, but still felt unsafe. "Twenty yuan is too little. I want fifty yuan before I am willing to help you."

Xu Damao's eyes widened. "Fifty yuan? Qin Huairu, you are too greedy!"

Qin Huairu said firmly: "Fifty yuan, not a cent less. Just think about how dangerous this is. If I get discovered, I might get into big trouble. Fifty yuan to buy peace is not expensive for you."

Although Xu Damao was reluctant, he could only agree reluctantly when he thought about his situation. "Okay, fifty dollars is fifty dollars. But you must do a good job and make Cuilan change her confession."

Qin Huairu showed a smug smile on her face, "Don't worry, Xu Damao. As long as you give me money, I will definitely do my best."

Xu Damao looked at Qin Huairu's greedy appearance and secretly regretted why he had provoked so many women in the first place.

Now that Yi Zhonghai has caught him, he has to pay Qin Huairu to solve the problem.

Qin Huairu got the money and returned home. Jia Zhang couldn't wait to come up to her and ask, "Qin Huairu, have you gotten the money from Sha Zhu?"

Qin Huairu's heart tightened. She didn't want Jia Zhang to know that she got the money from Xu Damao, otherwise the money would definitely be taken away by Jia Zhang. So, Qin Huairu lied quickly, "Mom, Sha Zhu is a pauper now, how can I get money from him?"

When Jia Zhang heard this, her face suddenly turned ugly. She pointed at Qin Huairu and scolded, "You useless thing! You can't even do something when I ask you to. How come Sha Zhu was so generous before, but now he's a pauper? I think you just didn't put your heart into it and just deliberately gave me a perfunctory response."

Qin Huairu lowered her head and said aggrievedly: "Mom, I really tried my best. Sha Zhu is close to Yi Zhonghai now and ignores us. There is nothing I can do."

Jia Zhang was not willing to give in and continued to scold, "You are useless! Our family is in such a difficult situation now, and you don't want to find a way to make money, but you are still making excuses here. If you continue to be so useless, don't even think about staying in this family in the future."

Qin Huairu's eyes were slightly red, and her heart was filled with helplessness and grievance.

She knew that Jia Zhang was greedy and selfish, but for the sake of this family, she could only swallow her anger.

She secretly decided that she must hide the money she got from Xu Damao and not let Jia Zhang find it. Otherwise, the money would definitely be squandered by Jia Zhang, and the family would still have trouble making ends meet.

After scolding Qin Huairu, Jia Zhang was still unwilling to give up and began to think of other ways to make money.

Qin Huairu came to Sha Zhu's house and looked at the messy house, and an idea came to her mind.

Without saying a word, she rolled up her sleeves and started helping Sha Zhu clean up.

She wiped the tables and cabinets carefully and swept away the dust on the floor.

Every action is full of seriousness and meticulousness, as if he is treating his own family affairs.

Sha Zhu was a little surprised at first. He didn't expect Qin Huairu to suddenly come to help him clean.

But as Qin Huairu was busy, he gradually felt moved.

Over the years, although Qin Huairu would occasionally ask him for help, there were not many times when she would take the initiative to do things for him like this.

Looking at Qin Huairu's busy figure, the soft spot in Sha Zhu's heart was touched.

After a long while, Qin Huairu finally cleaned the house and made it tidy and bright.

She wiped the sweat from her forehead and smiled gently at Sha Zhu. "Sha Zhu, it's much cleaner now, isn't it?"

Sha Zhu was so moved that he didn't know what to say, he just nodded repeatedly. "Qin Huairu, you...what can I say."

Qin Huairu looked at Sha Zhu's reaction and felt that the time was almost right.

She lowered her head slightly and said a little embarrassedly: "Silly Zhu, I have something to ask you."

Sha Zhu quickly said, "What's the matter? Tell me."

Qin Huairu approached Sha Zhu and whispered, "Sha Zhu, can you ask Cui Lan to change her statement? You know, if Xu Damao is reported, our courtyard will be in turmoil."

When Sha Zhu heard this, he immediately frowned. "No, I can't do this. If I help Xu Damao, Master Yi will definitely be angry. I don't want to anger Master Yi."

Qin Huairu said quickly, "Silly Zhu, please help me this time. I'm doing this for everyone's good. Just think about it, if Xu Damao is brought down, our yard will definitely be in chaos. And I'm helping you clean up today because I really want to do something for you."

Sha Zhu was unmoved. "Qin Huairu, it's not that I'm cruel. I really don't dare to offend Master Yi. Don't try to persuade me anymore. I won't take care of this matter."

Qin Huairu felt a little anxious when she saw Sha Zhu's firm attitude.

"Silly Zhu, are you really that cruel? We have been neighbors for so many years, can't you do me a favor? I have done so much for you today, just consider it as a favor to me, okay?"

Sha Zhu sighed. "Qin Huairu, it's not that I don't want to help you, it's that I really can't do this. This is too risky, and I don't want to get myself into trouble."

Qin Huairu became more and more anxious when she saw that Sha Zhu was unwilling to help.

She bit her lip and suddenly thought of an idea.

"Shazhu, if you do me a favor, I will introduce you to a girl. That woman is a formal employee, earning 30 yuan a month, and she's very beautiful." Qin Huairu said anxiously.

When Sha Zhu heard this, he was slightly moved.

After all, he was already an adult and had always wanted to find a wife. But he was a little hesitant, on the one hand because he was worried about angering Yi Zhonghai, and on the other hand, he felt that Qin Huairu's words might not be reliable.

"Qin Huairu, are you telling the truth? Is that woman really as good as you say?" Sha Zhu asked half-doubtfully.

Qin Huairu nodded quickly, "Silly Zhu, can I still lie to you? That woman is really good. If you get along with her, you will definitely live a happy life in the future. Just help me this time, and I promise to get it done for you."
