Siheyuan: Master of the Fire, Eating Watermelons Online

Chapter 106: Opening up a new way to make money, Qin Huairu returns to the courtyard
What Wang Weiguo said was just polite talk, but it was also what he really meant.

Another thing is that he really understands Chen Xueru and Xu Hui. If it were someone else, Wang Weiguo would definitely not be so reassured.

First of all, Xu Huizhen is a kind and sensible person who knows the overall situation and takes the overall situation into consideration. She would never do something like defaulting on a debt.

Secondly, with Chen Xueru around, Wang Weiguo is not afraid of suffering any loss.

Even if Chen Xueru didn't care about her newly recognized brother, as Xu Huizhen's enemy, she would not sit idly by and watch Xu Huizhen lower the price too much.

As long as Xu Huizhen is satisfied with the secret recipe he gave her, Wang Weiguo just needs to wait to collect the money.

Next.

Wang Weiguo did not waste time and asked Xu Huizhen to bring paper and pen. He wrote down the recipe for braised beef and cold kelp salad, as well as the detailed production steps, and handed it to Xu Huizhen.

There are neither ingredients nor time right now, so Xu Huizhen can only wait for herself to experiment and then talk about the price when she is satisfied.

If it were someone else, doing this would be a huge risk, but since the other party is Xu Huizhen, there is no need to worry about this problem at all.

soon.

Wang Weiguo and Chen Xueru went back to the tavern to drink.

Uncle Niu and Uncle Pian were still there. Although no one mentioned what the three of them were discussing in the backyard, everyone had some guesses.

If nothing unexpected happens, the tavern will probably launch new dishes next.

Thinking of this, they couldn't help but feel a little excited.

Drinking and chatting, the group had a great time.

As the time grew late, the wine was almost finished and everyone went their separate ways.

After Wang Weiguo sent Chen Xueru back to the silk shop, he took his bicycle and returned to the courtyard.

I gained a lot today.

This tavern is really crowded.

It was not for any other reason, but because Wang Weiguo stayed here for one night, and as a result, he learned a lot of things from Niu Ye, Chen Xueru, and other guests, and the system's gossip value kept rising.

This was even more exciting than Wang Weiguo's acquisition of two money-making opportunities, namely the silk shop and the tavern.

This small tavern where all kinds of people gather and where information is well-informed is indeed a great place to eat melons.

[Host: Wang Weiguo (a scumbag with the potential to be a gigolo!)]

【Age: 19】

【Eating Melon Value: 7343】

……

Wang Weiguo was quite satisfied when he saw that the melon-eating value reached 7,000 again.

However, Wang Weiguo still wanted to continue saving and was not in a hurry to choose the lottery.

Although he had just acquired intermediate cooking skills not long ago, Wang Weiguo soon set his sights on acquiring advanced cooking skills.

His intermediate cooking skills have already brought him to a level similar to that of his senior brother Li Baoshu. If he could improve his cooking skills to advanced levels, he would even be able to be on par with his master Sun Maofeng.

Having such a high-level skill will obviously play a big role in Wang Weiguo's future development.

However, the melon value for purchasing high-level cooking skills is not cheap, as high as 30,000, so it may not be that fast to collect enough.

Fortunately, one quarter of the money has been collected now, and the rest is not out of reach. Besides, Wang Weiguo is still young, so he is not in a hurry at all.

……

Early the next morning.

After having breakfast at home, Wang Weiguo rode his bicycle directly to Fengze Garden to work.

Not long after Wang Weiguo left the courtyard, Jia Dongxu, who had stayed at his father-in-law's house for a night, took Qin Huairu directly to the outside of the village to catch a bus and return to the city.

Yesterday, Jia Dongxu found out that his father-in-law's family had a lot of meat and steamed buns made of two-grain flour. He thought his father-in-law had become rich, so he asked Qin Huairu to borrow money. However, Qin Huairu was so angry that she scolded him on the spot.

This was the first time in history that Qin Huairu lost her temper with him, and the key point was that Jia Dongxu didn't dare to lose his temper.

Naturally, there was no solution to borrowing money from my father-in-law.

Not only that, Jia Dongxu, who was full of resentment, had to find ways to persuade Qin Huairu to go back with him.

to this end.

Jia Dongxu took great pains and agreed to some conditions before he managed to persuade Qin Huairu.

As for Qin Huairu, returning to her mother's home was a helpless move. Jia Dongxu chased her and gave her a way out, so Qin Huairu agreed to go back with him.

No matter what, Qin Huairu could not abandon her son Banggeng. If he stayed at her parents' home and did not go back, people would gossip about him sooner or later, and it would be impossible to resolve the situation.

The key point is that Jia Dongxu also agreed to help Qin Huairu solve the issue of the hundred yuan and prevent Jia Zhang from causing trouble for her again.

If not for this, Qin Huairu would not have compromised so quickly.

Although she had compelling reasons to return to her parents' home this time, the conflicts in the Jia family were also a problem.
Although she agreed to go back, Qin Huairu's attitude towards Jia Dongxu became obviously colder along the way.

Mainly because of Jia Dongxu’s series of actions during this period, coupled with his performance yesterday, really made her feel disheartened.

The two drove back to the city.

Not long after getting off the car, when they walked to a less crowded place, Jia Dongxu suddenly pulled Qin Huairu aside and whispered: "Huairu, when you return to the courtyard later, if anyone asks you, just say that your mother fell seriously ill the night before yesterday, and your father went to the city to pick you up overnight. Don't say that you ran back to your mother's house by yourself..."

When they were in Qinjia Village before, Jia Dongxu didn't dare to say these things for fear that Qin Huairu would be unhappy. But now that he has entered the city, he has to remind Qin Huairu.

"Jia Dongxu, what do you mean?"

Qin Huairu was shocked that out of the blue, she was forced to lie and say that her mother was seriously ill.

Things like this are taboo and cannot be discussed casually.

What if it comes true?

It is said that feudal superstition is unacceptable. Under the policies from above, no one dares to mention it, but some private ideas are not so easy to change.

Even if Jia Dongxu didn't want the people in the courtyard to know that she had been wronged in the Jia family and ran back to her parents' home, he should at least find another reason.

How could she be allowed to curse her own mother?

"Huai Ru, don't get excited. Let me explain first..." Jia Dongxu had no choice but to tell what happened in the courtyard before, and complained: "It's all Wang Weiguo's fault. He insisted on reporting it to the street and the Women's Federation for no reason. My mother had no choice, so she said that."

Jia Dongxu simply passed the buck and put all the responsibility on Wang Weiguo.

Anyway, Wang Weiguo is not here, so no matter what he says, there is no way to refute it.

Besides, Jia Dongxu really thought so in his heart.

When Qin Huairu heard Jia Dongxu mention Wang Weiguo, she felt extremely complicated and fell silent for a while.

Speaking of this matter, it is really Wang Weiguo's fault, but it is just different from what Jia Dongxu said.

Thinking of what she and Wang Weiguo had done to Jia Dongxu, Qin Huairu didn't want to care about it anymore.

Seeing that Qin Huairu said nothing more, he thought his explanation had worked and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Not long after, Jia Dongxu brought Qin Huairu back to the courtyard.

"Qin Huairu, you're back?"

"Auntie, I'm back."

"I heard that someone in your family is seriously ill. How is the situation now? Is he feeling better?"

"Thank you Aunt Liu for your concern. I feel much better now."

"Jia Dongxu, why didn't you go to work today, and why did you come back with Qin Huairu?"

"Well, isn't my mother-in-law sick? As her son-in-law, I'm worried about her, so I went over to visit her..."

"It's rare, Jia Dongxu, you are so filial."

"..."

When Qin Huairu returned to the courtyard, many people naturally "cared" about her and asked about the situation intentionally or unintentionally. Qin Huairu naturally responded according to what Jia Dongxu said.

however.

When Qin Huairu heard Jia Dongxu's brazen response and the praise from others, she only felt the irony but said nothing.

"Qin Huairu, you still know how to reply..."

"mom!"

Jia Zhang, who had just returned to the Jia family, was furious when she saw Qin Huairu. She subconsciously opened her mouth to teach her a lesson, but was reminded by Jia Dongxu. She quickly changed her words with a smile and said, "Huairu, I'm glad you're back. I was wrong about what happened before. Don't hold it against me."

After Qin Huairu ran away from home yesterday, Jia Dongxu had already communicated with her and asked her to be nicer to him in the future if she could be found. Jia Zhang agreed.

The main reason is that when Qin Huairu is not around, there is no one at home to do the housework, cook, and take care of the children.

In less than two days, Jia Zhang couldn't stand it anymore.

Not to mention anything else, Banggeng was very noisy when he was sleeping last night, which made her unable to sleep well the whole night, and it almost killed her.

If Qin Huairu gets angry and runs away again, all the housework will be hers from now on.

When she thought of this, Jia Zhang became scared.

How can she live without Qin Huairu, her daughter-in-law who works like a slave for her?

"Mom, you're finally back."

At this time, Bang Geng saw Qin Huairu, and hurried over and threw himself into her arms.

Qin Huairu was just a little moved when she heard Banggeng raise his head and say, "Mom, hurry up and cook! Grandma and I went out to buy meat today. I want to eat braised pork now. Please hurry up and make it for me."

Bang's words made Qin Huairu feel a little disappointed.

It turns out that as a mother, she is even less concerned about the braised pork than Bang Geng.

I have been away from home for so long, but Banggeng didn't even ask a question.

Even though Banggeng is still young, he is five years old and he is not completely ignorant.

Without saying anything, Qin Huairu went to cook obediently.

While Qin Huairu was cooking, Jia Dongxu pulled Jia Zhangshi aside, took out five yuan from his pocket with some pain, and said to Jia Zhangshi: "Mom, this five yuan is what my father-in-law asked me to return to you.

You know their family's situation. They can't pay back so much at once. Give them some time, and they can pay back the rest slowly. They won't owe us any money.

Also, don't force Huairu with this matter anymore, or she will get mad and run away, what do you think will happen to our family?"

These five dollars were given by an old man as a favor the night before yesterday. Jia Dongxu originally wanted to keep it for himself, but in order to prevent Jia Zhang from causing trouble for Qin Huairu, he had to take out the money to appease Jia Zhang.

This was also the condition that Jia Dongxu agreed to when he persuaded Qin Huairu to come back.

"It's a good thing they still have some conscience."

After happily putting away the five dollars, Jia Zhangshi seemed to be a different person, and said with a smile on her face: "I don't mean to embarrass Qin Huairu, but you helped their family borrow a hundred dollars for emergency, but there has been no progress in two years. Because of this, our family also invested a sewing machine. Do you think I can not be anxious?

But don't worry, I won't say anything about Qin Huairu anymore. As long as she stays well in our family, I'm not a wicked mother-in-law and I won't deliberately make things difficult for her."

Regardless of whether what Jia Zhang said was true or not, Qin Huairu's escape finally made her realize how important Qin Huairu was to the Jia family, and she would not dare to go too far like she did before.

After a while.

Qin Huairu prepared the meal.

Not only did I make braised pork, I also fried some oily cabbage and steamed some white flour buns.

It was obviously not time for lunch yet, but Qin Huairu was so moved when she saw the breakfast made by Jia Zhang that it was hard to describe.

Jia Zhang and Bang Geng didn't eat much and are still hungry.

Although Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu had already eaten in Qinjia Village in the morning, Jia Dongxu would naturally not miss such a good thing as braised pork. Moreover, Jia Dongxu also said yesterday that he would let Qin Huairu eat meat when he returned. Now was naturally the time to fulfill his promise.

Sitting at the table, eating braised pork and steamed buns, this time her mother-in-law was not standing by and watching her closely, which made Qin Huairu feel like crying.

This kind of life scene was what she once looked forward to, but now she doesn't feel any joy at all.

Moreover, Qin Huairu was not sure how long the current situation could last.

But soon, Qin Huairu discovered helplessly.

Before she could take a few bites, the plate of braised pork on the table was snatched away by Jia Zhangshi, Jia Dongxu and Banggeng.
