Buy a house with 30,000 yuan and live in a small town

Chapter 530 Evil comes with evil consequences
The next morning, before daybreak, the lights in Tao Huayu's courtyard were on as usual. Tao Huayu went to the kitchen to make breakfast, while his father went to the bakery to prepare for a busy day.

After breakfast was ready and the eastern sky was just beginning to light up, Tao Huayu drove to the hospital to deliver breakfast. After delivering the meal to Tao's mother at the hospital, he did not stay long and sent Qiu Xiangrong back. A few customers did not want to return yesterday's cake orders, so they were put aside for today. Today's workload was not easy at all. Some customers' orders might not be sent out until the afternoon.

Tao Huayu discussed with Qiu Xiangrong: "Brother-in-law, how about I replace the fermentation box and oven with bigger ones? The current capacity is limited. Replacing them with bigger ones can save time."

Qiu Xiangrong thought about it and shook his head. "These things haven't been used for long since I bought them, and they're not cheap. It's not worth replacing them just because of today's situation. I estimate that I can handle it today."

The main reason was that he didn't want Tao Huayu to advance money for him anymore. After he had paid back all the money his brother-in-law had advanced, if his business took off, he would take over the position himself.

He is feeling very angry now. He will definitely run the bakery well. Besides, he needs to cut ties with that couple.

Tao Huayu didn't say anything more since his brother-in-law had a plan in mind. After sending the man home, he went back to the hospital. His sister had another checkup in the morning, so he had to help run errands.

After Qiu Xiangrong got home, he didn't even eat. He hurriedly ate two bites of bread, drank a sip of hot water, and went to the bakery to get busy.

Around noon, Tao Huaxin came back from the hospital and did not go to the studio. After lunch, he wanted to help in the baking room, but Qiu Xiangrong took him back to the room and made him rest on the bed.

In the afternoon, Gu Xuelan came over to take a look and saw that the family of four were busy in the baking room. She did not disturb them too much. Seeing that Tao Huaxin looked good, she knew that she was fine, so she went home.

Gu Xuemei and her family at home are already packing their luggage. They have been out for almost twenty days and it is time to go back.

After dinner, the whole family sat in the living room drinking tea and chatting. Du Yunkai and Cha Cha were also there. The three little ones sat on the sofa with Cha Cha watching cartoons.

Qiu Xiangrong came over at this time, holding a fruit cake in his hand. It was not very big, and it was the last one he made today. He handed the cake to Du Yunkai and said, "I heard from Huayu that tomorrow is Cha Cha's birthday. I don't have anything good to give her, so I'll just send a cake over to celebrate with her in advance."

The child's birthday was coming up so soon. If he didn't know, it would be fine. But if he knew, he had to say something to show his appreciation. He originally thought that the child would not come over for a while after returning to Hai City, so he planned to make some cookies to send over, but Du Yunkai came with the child again. He planned to make a birthday cake and send it over yesterday, thinking that everyone would have a barbecue together, and it would be more lively with more people, and then celebrate for the child, but an accident happened.

Du Yunkai will send Cha Cha back tomorrow. Hai Shi's family has already prepared a birthday party for the child. It is too late to make cookies and send them over, so Qiu Xiangrong hurriedly made a birthday cake and sent it over.

Du Yunkai quickly took it and thanked him, then called Cha Cha over to say thank you too.

Qiu Xiangrong was about to go back after delivering the cake, but Du Yunkai pulled him back and said, "Brother-in-law, you've already delivered the cake. It would be unreasonable if you don't stay and sing a birthday song with me."

Qiu Xiangrong not only sent a cake, but also prepared everything. Birthday cakes were included in his usual orders, so he also had candles, birthday hats and other things, which he brought together.

Little Cha Cha was happily held by Liu Nanshan and sat on the main seat of "Little Birthday Star". Everyone helped him put on his birthday hat, put candles on the cake, turned off the lights, sang the birthday song together, and waited for the child to make a wish and blow out the candles.

Then Du Yunkai held Cha Cha's hand and gave the first piece of cake to Qiu Xiangrong, thanking him for the cake. Cha Cha gave the second piece to Liu Nanshan herself, and then gave the third piece to Gu Xuelan. She said sweetly, thank you for grandpa and grandma taking care of him, which made Liu Nanshan and Gu Xuelan so happy that they felt a little dizzy.

Everyone ate the birthday cake as dessert after dinner. Cha Cha didn’t forget the three little ones and gave them some as well.

The next morning, Liu Wangxue and Xu Qingsong drove out together to send Gu Xuemei and the others, as well as Du Yunkai and Cha Cha to the airport. After returning, Xu Qingsong went to the studio, while Liu Wangxue and Gu Xuelan cleaned the house together. They cleaned upstairs and downstairs, changed the sheets and quilts in all the rooms, washed them, and dried them. They even cleaned Xu Qingsong's room together.

Shu Mingyuan, Yan Zhengyu and others will come in a while, and there are no extra beds for them to sleep in the studio - when designing and decorating, Du Yunkai asked to reserve two more beds just in case. Then Richard came, and then Li Yu also came, so even if there were extra beds, they would not be enough.

After Yan Zhengyu agreed to come over, he started looking for hotels. There was only one hotel in Qiu Shui Town, and the facilities were relatively old. He and Shu Mingyuan and others immediately complained that they couldn't stay there, so they set their sights on staying at Xu Qingsong's hotel.

Xu Qingsong only had two bedrooms, and one guest room was definitely not enough for the five of them, so Liu Wangxue said that if they didn't mind, the two rooms in the bungalow here would be just enough for them to stay in. Although they said sorry to bother them, they were actually relieved.

Two days later, Shen Nian'an and his family were going back to Beijing. Liu Wangxue and Xu Qingsong brought the three children to wait at the door of Tao Huayu's house early in the morning to see them off - this was the only way to go.

Little Youzi couldn't bear to leave the cat. This time was not like the end of last summer vacation. He was already in the kindergarten and had a clear concept of time. He knew that he would not be able to see the cat for a very long time, so he shed tears when he said goodbye.

There was nothing else to do in the following days. Liu Wangxue stayed at home every day to write scripts. Sometimes when she was stuck on the plot, she would take the three little ones to the studio, see Xu Qingsong, and then chat with Tao Huaxin to change her mind.

The "Not Sweet" bar reopened. After Tao Huaxin returned to the studio, everyone treated her more carefully than before. The office staff also stopped letting her deliver drinks and desserts. After she sent a message to place an order, they would send someone to pick it up. When she came to the counter to place an order, they would tell her to be careful no matter what she did.

Tao Huaxin was so helpless that he said to Liu Wangxue: "You treat me like a porcelain doll. I'm really not that fragile."

Liu Wangxue disagreed with her: "My mother said that nothing is trivial when it comes to pregnant women, and you can never be too careful." Liu Wangxue also heard Tao Huaxin talk about the follow-up events of Qiu Xiangrong's parents. Without exception, most of them were passed back by Aunt Changying.

Father and Mother Qiu were so frightened by the words "lawyer" and "I'll sue you until you go bankrupt" that they drove their electric bikes into a ditch when they were riding back home that day. Fortunately, the ditch was a dry ditch at the edge of the field and was shallow. The old couple were also well dressed, so they were not injured.

After returning home, the old couple picked up the phone and called their youngest son, because it was the youngest son who asked them to do this, and now that something has happened, they have to ask the youngest son what to do next. But when the youngest son heard it, he just said, "It's you who caused the trouble, it has nothing to do with me," and hung up the phone. After that, they could not get through again.

The old couple had no choice but to call their eldest son again. The eldest son comforted them and said, "Xiang Rong is not that kind of person. After all, you are his biological parents. He will definitely not let his brother-in-law really sue you. He said that just to scare you. Don't take it to heart."

The old couple was not comforted at all: "Xiang Jie, you don't understand. You were not there at the time and didn't see the look in Xiang Rong's eyes. He really regarded your mother and I as enemies! How could he just scare you and let it go?"

Qiu Xiangjie tried to comfort them a few more times, but when he saw that his parents still didn't listen, he became very impatient and found an excuse to hang up the phone.

The old couple was now even more at a loss, and they were frightened to the point of falling ill.

I felt unwell that afternoon, but the two of us didn't take it seriously. After all, "losing everything" is more stressful. I was so scared that I didn't eat lunch, and I had a simple dinner. I woke up the next morning after a night of sleep and felt a little dizzy. I took some medicine from the medicine box, and then I had a high fever in the afternoon and lay in bed shivering.

It was Aunt Changying who discovered that the old couple was ill. She had already learned the whole story from Aunt Changxiu over the phone. All afternoon, she would glare at the door opposite her and spit at it whenever she came in and out.

It was dark for a while. Aunt Changying went out to throw away the garbage and found that the light was not on at the opposite door. Aunt Changying thought that the two people went out to make trouble again. She threw away the garbage and hurried back, thinking of calling Aunt Changxiu. When she passed the gate, she took another look and found that the two people did not even lock the gate. She was curious, so she stretched out her hand and pushed the door open. She shouted inside, but there was no response.

Aunt Changying didn't dare to go in alone, so she went home and called her husband to come over. Only then did she find that both of them were lying on the bed with a fever and were confused. They kept muttering, "Don't sue me, I have no money."

Aunt Changying spat again, and she went to the village clinic to ask a doctor to give them an IV. How could she just ignore it? If the fever continued, what if something happened?
This late night, Xiang Rong was in the hospital taking care of Hua Xin. Aunt Changying was also angry with the parents, so she didn't want to call Xiang Rong to avoid making him more upset, so she and her husband watched the two people receiving infusions at the wrong door. After the infusion was finished, she put food and drinks on the bedside for them, rolled her eyes and went home. The next morning, she came to take a look again. Seeing that the fever of the two people had not completely subsided, she helped to invite a doctor, and then called Aunt Changxiu.

Aunt Changxiu snorted in displeasure when she heard this: "Are you pretending again? You're trying to trick Xiangrong into going back."

"It's really not!" Aunt Changying assured and described the situation again.

Aunt Changxiu hung up the phone and quickly called Tao's mother.

To be honest, Qiu Xiangrong was not moved at all after he found out. When he came back from the hospital, he was thinking about cutting ties with his parents. In fact, he had already done this many years ago, running away from home and never contacting them again. If he hadn't been with Tao Huaxin and preparing to get married, he would never have come back.

This kind of cutting is very painful at first, just like removing flesh and bones, except that what is removed is the rotten flesh and the bad bones. Qiu Xiangrong has experienced it before, and his bones and flesh have long been regenerated, his wounds have long been healed, and his old illness will not recur, so he will no longer feel pain.

Tao's father and mother couldn't bear to persuade him to go back. After this incident, they could no longer say words like "they are your parents after all".

However, after making the cake in the afternoon, Qiu Xiangrong still went back.

Mr. and Mrs. Qiu were lying in bed. Their fever had subsided, but they were mostly out of energy. When they saw Qiu Xiangrong, their first reaction was to look behind him, fearing that he had brought a lawyer with him.

Qiu Xiangrong didn't waste any time. He didn't bring a lawyer, but he did bring an account book and settled the unfinished accounts with the parents.

If you count carefully, Qiu Xiangrong has already paid off all the food, clothing and daily expenses recorded in the account book. He has worked hard for the family since he was a child. Compared with his older brother and younger brother, he doesn't look like the son of the family at all, but more like a hired farmhand. Just take the farmhand as an example, his annual salary should be enough to cover his annual expenses of several hundred yuan, right? Only the two years of high school plus tuition fees would be slightly more. After he dropped out of high school, he basically did all the work in the fields, and this two-story building also has his hard-earned money. Add to that the alimony he gave later...

Qiu Xiangrong didn't want to say anything more. He handed the listed bills to Qiu's father and asked him to look at them himself. Then he went to find the household registration booklet and said, "Tomorrow I will separate Hua Xin's and my household registration separately. From now on, I will have nothing to do with you. I will still give you alimony, but not as much as before. It will be enough for you to live on, but don't even think about getting a penny more."

Qiu Xiangrong took the account book and household registration book with him. When he was about to leave, Qiu's father and mother stopped him at the same time. They didn't dare to say anything else, but asked Qiu Xiangrong whether his brother-in-law would really call a lawyer over.

Qiu Xiangrong just gave them a mocking smile in response.

According to Aunt Changying, the old couple were so scared that they didn't dare to go out for several days, fearing that if they went out they would run into a lawyer who would take away all their money and arrest them. After daring to go out, they no longer showed off their eldest and youngest sons to others like they used to.

Aunt Changxiu clapped her hands and said happily: "It's better to let them take their fear into the coffin!"

Liu Wangxue said: "Evil deeds will be punished. They will definitely not dare to do it again in the future. They probably see clearly who they can rely on in their old age."

Tao Huaxin sighed and felt even more sorry for her son Xiangrong.
