Siheyuan: He Yuzhu's rebirth in the 21st century

Chapter 626 Qin Huairu, I'm going to help you properly!

"Huai, Huairu, look, Mom... I've been so obedient, could you give me some dry food tonight? I can't stand drinking porridge every day!"

Although Jia Zhangshi sensed Qin Huairu's unfriendly tone, she was so hungry that she could only continue to lower her stance.

"Your stomach problem hasn't fully healed, so it's hard for you to digest dry food. How about this, next time I make porridge, I'll put in more rice for you."

"No! Qin Huairu, you promised me you'd improve my meals after you got rid of Tian Gouzi, you can't go back on your word!!"

Madam Jia panicked. She had gone to great lengths, even risking her reputation, to frame Tian Gouzi, all for a bite to eat.

Qin Huairu just says she doesn't acknowledge it anymore?

"Heh~ Jia Zhangshi, I just don't keep my word, so what? If you're not happy, go back to your hometown."

"Qin Huairu, don't push your luck! Believe me or not..."

"Believe what? You old fool, if you dare to point fingers at me again, I'll have the neighborhood committee send you back to your hometown right now."

Qin Huairu stared at Jia Zhangshi with a cold expression and threatened her.

"I...I was wrong, I was wrong!"

When Jia Zhangshi met Qin Huairu's cold and sharp gaze, she shuddered violently and hurriedly admitted defeat.

"That's more like it. Get out of my way and don't get in my way!"

"Yes, yes! I'll go see the locust flowers."

Madam Jia "obediently" went into the inner room, then picked up the locust flowers, her eyes filled with malice.

"Fine, fine! Qin Huairu, if you're heartless, don't blame me for being unjust. The Jia family is in such dire straits right now. Having a grandson like Banggeng is enough. Keeping a money-losing child is useless; he'll only waste food. It's better to..."

"Jia Zhangshi, what nonsense are you muttering about?!"

"No, I wasn't muttering anything, hehe~"

Sure enough, not long after, Jia Zhangshi, filled with resentment, took advantage of Qin Huairu's trip back to her hometown to "scam her father" and secretly sold the locust flowers!

This led to the subsequent events where Jia Zhangshi used the money she received from selling herself as a prostitute to indulge in lavish meals, then became a vegetable due to shock, and was subjected to various forms of abuse by Qin Huairu every day.

……

Tian Gouzi snapped out of his reverie, looked up, and saw that Banggeng and his sister were already far away. A slight smile appeared on his lips as he muttered to himself,

"Qin Huairu, Qin Huairu, I'm a magnanimous man, I won't hold it against you for cheating me out of several months' rent."

"Hehe~ Not only will I not hold it against you, I'll even 'help you out'!"

Tian Gouzi makes a living by driving a tricycle to pick up passengers. He doesn't have any other skills, but he knows exactly where the pigeon market is, where the shady shops are, and who the beggars are.

He sneered at the backs of the two men and hurriedly walked into a secluded alley.

"Stop! What are you doing?"

At the entrance of a certain flower-picking spot, a rather fierce-looking middle-aged man stopped Tian Gouzi and asked sternly.

"Sir, we've met before. I used to haul goods for you on my tricycle."

Tian Gouzi took out a pack of cheap cigarettes, pulled one out, and handed it over.

"I vaguely remember you. Why aren't you pulling a rickshaw to earn money? What are you doing here looking for me?"

The fierce-looking man sized up Tian Gouzi, and only after confirming that he was a familiar face did he take the cigarette with some disdain and ask with a wary expression.

"I have something to tell you. I was just browsing the pigeon market and I saw a brother and sister... I wonder if you'd be interested?"

Tian Gouzi briefly recounted what had happened in Pigeon City.

"Interesting! Lead the way, and you'll get your share of the profits after this is done!"

"Okay~"

The burly man instantly became interested. He gestured for Tian Gouzi to go first, then turned back to the stronghold and gave orders to the people inside.

"Looks like this place is no longer usable; even a stinky cart puller can remember the location."

"Hiss~ We'll move immediately."

……

"Brother, look! There are two adults over there!"

"Xiao Dang, don't move, I'll go take a look."

Whether it was good luck for the Banggeng siblings or Xiaodang's destined sale, they actually encountered a middle-aged couple.

A sign stood in front of the couple, which read—

Adopt a child.
