Siheyuan: A Very Happy Era

Chapter 53 Are you crazy about money?

"Ouch! You little rascal, you're about to knock grandma down!"

Qu Yinfeng staggered a little, then quickly reached out and hugged Xu Dani, with a look of reproach on her face.

"Ah? Grandma, are you okay?"

Xu Dani exclaimed, then hurriedly grabbed Qu Yinfeng's arm, fearing that she would really knock Qu Yinfeng down.

"It's okay, it's okay, grandma is okay!"

When Qu Yinfeng saw Xu Dani's nervous look, she curled her lips and then quickly shook her head.

Then, she suddenly saw Li Guoqiang and her eyes froze for a moment.

"Who are you, young man?"

Hearing the question, without waiting for Li Guoqiang to answer, Xu Dani hurriedly introduced him to Qu Yinfeng with an excited look on her face: "Grandma, he is the big brother I brought back from Grandpa Fu's house. He will live in our house from now on."

"Also, Grandpa said that our family will charge Big Brother 15 cents a day for accommodation in the future. Big Brother has just given Grandpa 4.5 yuan. Soon, our family will have enough money to take Grandpa to the city for medical treatment!"

Speaking of this, Xu Dani's face showed a look of great longing.

But Qu Yinfeng's expression suddenly changed.

"15 cents a day? You old man, are you crazy about money? How can you ask for so much money from a child? Have you lost your conscience?"

Having said that, Qu Yinfeng suddenly rushed into the inner room, and then there was another burst of angry cursing.

"Old man, why are you doing this? Aren't you letting the villagers stab us in the back?"

"I'm telling you, I absolutely don't agree with this, so give the money back to them right away!"

"Did you hear that?"

"Hey! Are you pretending to be deaf in front of me? I still don't believe that I can't cure you!"

Hearing this, Li Guoqiang and Xu Dani ran in, and immediately saw Qu Yinfeng had already lifted the quilt covering Xu Guangshan, and was searching Xu Guangshan's body with her hands.

This scene frightened Xu Dani instantly, and she stood at the door at a loss as to what to do.

Li Guoqiang didn't have time to think about it, and hurriedly stepped forward to persuade her: "Auntie, calm down first and don't blame me. I paid this money willingly, and it has nothing to do with me!"

"How does this have nothing to do with him? You are happy because you are a kind person, but it is not okay for him to take so much money from you!"

Qu Yinfeng glared and then retorted in a serious manner.

Li Guoqiang was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then he saw Qu Yinfeng wanted to continue searching for money, so he hurriedly reached out to stop her.

"Auntie, Auntie, you see, I have already moved my luggage in, you can't ask me to move it out again, right?"

"How about this? Since I've already given the four dollars and a half to the uncle, let him keep it first. Then, you can deduct whatever amount of lodging fee you think is appropriate for me to pay you directly from the four dollars and a half. After the deduction is completed, I will continue to pay you. Is that okay with you?"

Qu Yinfeng looked at Li Guoqiang's sincere expression and suddenly became hesitant.

Afterwards, she glanced at Xu Dani, who was standing at the door a little at a loss, and finally nodded in agreement to Li Guoqiang's proposal. After asking about the conditions proposed by Xu Guangshan and Li Guoqiang, she took the initiative to offer only 5 cents a day for accommodation, which directly cut the price by more than half.

When Li Guoqiang heard the price, which was so low that it couldn't be any lower, he wanted to raise it a little, but Qu Yinfeng said, "If you don't agree, don't live here." Helplessly, he could only nod and agree.

While they were talking, Xu Guangshan kept his eyes closed and didn't say a word. It was unclear whether he was angry or ashamed of being scolded by Qu Yinfeng.

When Xu Dani saw that Qu Yinfeng stopped scolding Xu Guangshan, her expression gradually became less tense. Then, while Qu Yinfeng and Li Guoqiang were discussing things, she quietly climbed up the fire pit and helped Xu Guangshan cover himself with the quilt again.

Then she hurriedly got down from the fire pit and stood back at the door with a cautious look on her face, as if she was worried that her behavior would bring Qu Yinfeng's scolding.

Little did she know that everything she had just done had already been seen by Qu Yinfeng.

Just as she was silently counting five cents a day and wondering how many days it would take to save up enough to take Xu Guangshan to the city for medical treatment, Qu Yinfeng's voice suddenly came to her ears.

"Dani, what are you doing standing there like an idiot? Why don't you go and light a fire?"

"Oh!"

Hearing this, Xu Dani suddenly remembered that she had to heat the kang for Li Guoqiang. She nodded hurriedly and agreed, then turned and ran out.

Seeing this, Li Guoqiang suddenly remembered that he had planned to spend money to buy some firewood from Xu Dani's family, so he hurriedly asked: "Auntie, can I exchange some money for firewood from your family?"

Here, he did not say buy, but exchange, in order to avoid giving people a chance to criticize him.

When Qu Yinfeng heard this, there was no joy on her face, but she looked a little embarrassed.

"Young man, to be honest, we don't even have enough firewood at home. Why don't you go find someone else to trade with? If you don't know who to go to, I can take you to the village to ask after lunch."

"No, don't bother. I think I should go to the mountains and see if I can find some firewood!"

Upon hearing this, Li Guoqiang hurriedly waved his hand and rejected Qu Yinfeng's proposal.

After all, the reason why he wanted to spend money to exchange firewood with Qu Yinfeng was mainly because he wanted to help this kind-hearted lady, not because he wanted to spend money to show off in the village.

"Is that so? Then you can come with me. You've just arrived here and you're not very familiar with the environment here. Don't get lost in the mountains!"

When Qu Yinfeng heard that Li Guoqiang wanted to go to the mountains, she did not try to stop him. She even planned to take Li Guoqiang there personally to prevent him from getting lost. She was very thoughtful.

Li Guoqiang naturally would not object to this and immediately nodded and agreed.

Then, he glanced at Xu Guangshan lying on the kang, and couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Auntie, what's wrong with the uncle?"

Hearing this, Qu Yinfeng's expression dimmed slightly, then she waved her hand and said softly, "It's nothing, he's just paralyzed from the waist down, just stay here and don't bother with him, just tell me if you have any problem."

After saying that, she turned and walked out, as if she didn't want to talk about this topic any more.

Seeing this, Li Guoqiang did not plan to continue asking. He would be staying here for a long time anyway, and he would know what he needed to know in the future.

Then, just as he was about to pack his bags, he suddenly heard a dog barking outside the house.

Then, he heard Xu Danniu's voice full of surprise.

"Look, grandma, Da Huang has caught the rabbit!"
