Chapter 1127 Deceiving Xu Damao

"That's Jia Dongxu. Jia Zhangshi is always summoning spirits; who knows when he might be brought back."

"The scariest thing is that it's not Jia Dongxu who's coming. What if it's some evil spirit that's coming? How will the Jia family survive in the future!"

Just as everyone was whispering about crickets, Liu Haizhong walked over with a frown on his face.

"What are you saying? Feudal superstition is not to be believed. Don't mention this again. Jia Zhuangxian was injured because he was dishonest. It has nothing to do with demons and monsters!"

There's already a eccentric Jia Zhangshi in the courtyard. If a few more people engage in feudal superstition, he, as the head of the household, will definitely get a scolding from the street office.

"Second Uncle is right. The fire started because that boy from the Jia family was disobedient and was corrupted by Jia Zhangshi. Luckily, it was discovered in time, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable."

"Oh my, she's already like this at such a young age. What will she be like when she grows up? She'll probably turn our courtyard upside down."

"Overthrow my ass! Jia Zhangshi is powerful enough, but she was still arrested. Even someone like Bang Geng would be in trouble if he encountered a dog trapper."

The residents chatted in the courtyard for a while before going home to sleep.

I have to go out to work tomorrow, and if I don't get enough rest, I definitely won't be in good shape the next day.

It wasn't until dawn that Qin Huairu rode her tricycle back to the courtyard house.

After returning the tricycle to He Daqing, Qin Huairu went home and lay down on the bed.

too tired.

It's not just the physical exhaustion from staying up all night, but more so the mental exhaustion.

Jia Zhangshi was arrested for theft, and there has been no news yet about how long she will be sentenced.

The pheasant's nest was burned again, reopening its recently healed wound. The doctor recommended hospitalization for observation and treatment.

Qin Huairu estimated that the total cost would be more than twenty yuan.

So going back to the courtyard house early in the morning wasn't just about returning He Daqing's tricycle; the most important thing was to make some money.

She only has ten yuan in her savings account right now. Where will she get the rest?

Looking at her empty home, Qin Huairu almost burst into tears.

The Jia family is now completely destitute; all their valuables have been squandered by Jia Dongxu.

For example, the sewing machine that came into the Jia family with her was lost because Jia Dongxu stole it.

Not to mention housing and jobs.

Jia Dongxu single-handedly squandered the family fortune of two generations of the Jia family.

Thankfully it's already on the wall, otherwise it might have caused some trouble.

Where can I get some money?

Qin Huairu's first thought was Yi Zhonghai, but after thinking about it, she felt it was unlikely.

Most of what Yi Zhonghai said that night was meant to annoy Liu Haizhong. If Liu Haizhong really asked him for money, Yi Zhonghai would most likely not help him.

But who else can we turn to besides Yi Zhonghai?

In the courtyard, there were many people who had conflicts with the Jia family, but none of them had a good relationship with the Jia family.

Thinking of this, Qin Huairu even considered doing what Jia Zhangshi did and stealing things from other people's homes.

Ok?

Jia Zhangshi!!

Qin Huairu seemed to have thought of something and suddenly sat up in bed.

Although Jia Zhangshi was arrested by the government officials, she still controlled the family's finances and must still have money on her.

If she didn't have money, she would have already started checking if she had any hidden on her.

Thinking of this, Qin Huairu didn't delay any longer and dragged her tired body to the yamen to visit Jia Zhangshi.

Just as I stepped out, I ran into Xu Damao, who was on his way to work.

"Hey, isn't this Qin Huairu? How's that kid Banggeng? Has he turned into roast chicken yet?"

As he spoke, he revealed a lewd and obnoxious smile, which made Qin Huairu feel disgusted.

That night, Xu Damao took advantage of her being furious and took advantage of her quite a bit, but visibility was poor at night, and none of the residents present could see clearly.

Otherwise, Qin Huairu could have extorted some money from Xu Damao by acting like a thug.

Despite feeling disgusted, Qin Huairu maintained a good facade and said to Xu Damao, "Bang Geng's condition is very dangerous. The burns have aggravated his previous wounds. The doctor wants him to be hospitalized, and the medical expenses will probably be close to a hundred yuan."

“Xu Damao, although you didn’t hit Banggeng, he was still injured because he was frightened by you, so you have to pay for his medical expenses.”

"I'll cover the medical expenses?"

Xu Damao chuckled, looked Qin Huairu up and down, and raised an eyebrow at Xiong Da and Xiong Er, saying, "Qin Huairu, just say you want some money. There's no need for this nonsense. As long as you make me happy, I can easily give you some money."

The fight last night left Xu Damao feeling restless, and with Jia Zhangshi also going to squat by the fence, Xu Damao's wicked thoughts became harder to suppress.

As someone who had been through similar experiences, Qin Huairu was well aware of Xu Damao's intentions.

But she didn't start cursing right away. Instead, she pretended to be hesitant and then clenched her fists for a while before saying, "Give me ten yuan, and I won't lock the door tonight."

Ok? ? ?

Xu Damao's eyes widened in surprise.

Qin Huairu actually agreed?

Is Bang Geng really short of money, or has Qin Huairu suddenly wanted to find someone to rely on?

But whatever the reason, Qin Huairu had already piqued Xu Damao's interest.

After a moment's internal struggle, Xu Damao glanced at his home with a guilty conscience, then took out five yuan from his pocket and stuffed it into Qin Huairu's hand.

"I didn't bring that much cash with me when I went out. Here's five dollars for you, we'll talk about the rest tonight."

Qin Huairu nodded and put the five yuan into her pocket.

Let's talk about it tonight?

Heh, let's talk about it when we can find someone tonight!

Qin Huairu will definitely have to go to the hospital to take care of her tonight, so the five yuan Xu Damao gave her will be wasted.

Even if Xu Damao comes to ask for money in the future, Qin Huairu can deny it.

After all, this kind of thing is dishonorable, and no one saw it, so Qin Huairu could only suffer in silence if she didn't acknowledge Xu Damao.

As for whether it will offend Xu Damao.

With such a significant conflict between the two companies, what difference does it make whether or not they offend each other?

Lust is a dangerous thing, and Xu Damao was tricked out of five yuan by Qin Huairu.

With the ten dollars she had hidden away, she only needed a few more dollars to cover Bang Geng's medical expenses.

"Take me to the government office!"

Having already swindled five yuan from Xu Damao, Qin Huairu casually used Xu Damao as a tool again.

Xu Damao was currently daydreaming about the good things to come that night, so naturally he wouldn't refuse Qin Huairu's request. He patted the back of the bicycle and said, "Get on, buddy, I'll show you what it means to go lightning fast."

And so, Xu Damao drove Qin Huairu out the door. This scene was witnessed by the door god Yan Bugui, who thought he was seeing things.

"Honey, am I getting presbyopia? How come Qin Huairu and Xu Damao are together?"

Upon hearing this, the three women went into the alley and took a look. They were so surprised that they slapped their thighs.

"What's going on? They were fighting yesterday, how come they're riding a bicycle together today?!"
