Chapter 78 Debt Collection
Chapter 78 Debt Collection
Yi Zhonghai left, and with him took away the last glimmer of hope in Qin Huairu's heart.
Originally, she thought that after Dongxu passed away, her mother-in-law would help take care of the children, while she would work hard in the factory and strive to be promoted to a higher level and obtain a household registration as soon as possible.
If I and my two children had a fixed amount of food, our lives would probably be better than before.
But today, Jia Zhang's expression shattered her wish.
Counting on mother-in-law for help?
It's good enough that she doesn't hold me back and doesn't kill me, right?
The mother-in-law was against him, Banggeng was on his grandmother's side, and there was also an uncle who tried to smooth things over and favor the mother-in-law.
Qin Huairu suddenly felt that the most important thing for her was to gain a firm foothold in the Jia family and hold her head up high.
Rely on Shazhu? Impossible!
Although he coveted her body, he was too timid to risk standing up against Yi Zhonghai for her sake, unless she was determined to marry him.
But this is obviously impossible. She planned to remarry right after Dongxu's death, and her remarriage partner is a neighbor in the same courtyard. The neighbors' spit alone would be enough to drown her.
Just when she was unable to think of any idea, Qin Jingru came back, smiling widely and no longer looking panicked.
Has Jingru really found a way out?
"Sister, I'm back!"
"By the way, here are the two dollars I just found, take it, it will be your food money for the next few days."
"I will stay here for a few more days. After a few days, I will have a place to live."
Qin Jingru said openly.
"Hey, have you found someone to help you?"
"Who is so powerful?" Qin Huairu asked tentatively.
“Of course…” Qin Jingru blurted out, but took the words back halfway, showing her hesitation to the fullest. Even Wang Hongtao couldn't help praising her after seeing it.
"I won't tell you, you'll know in a few days."
After saying that, Qin Jingru raised her chin and swung her braids to tease Xiaodang.
After finding out her sister's true intentions, she began to like Xiaodang among the people in the Jia family.

backyard.
Wang Hongbin washed dishes in the house after dinner. With Ah Huang around, he didn't have to worry about leftovers.
Wang Hongtao went to the street office to settle the final accounts with Master Lao.
There is no such thing as taking private jobs these days, all work is done on public accounts. Master Lao is a construction team officially affiliated with the Jiaodaokou Sub-district Office. Every time they take a job, they must first report to the Sub-district Office, and the payment is also handled by the Sub-district Office.
The process is like this and must be followed, but because of the handling fee most people will not quote the actual price. For example, the price Wang Hongtao reported to the street office for renovating his house was forty yuan.
Ten yuan out of the forty yuan must be handed over to the street office first, and the remaining thirty yuan is Master Lao’s project payment.
The street office is actually well aware of this kind of thing, but everyone does it, so no one cares unless it's too outrageous.
Of course, the street office does not take this money for free. After Wang Hongtao pays the money, the street office will issue a document to Wang Hongtao.
While proving that the renovation of the house was reasonable and legal, it also stated that Master Lao was related to this renovation project. If there were any quality problems with the house in the next few years, Master Lao would be held responsible.
手握文书出来,王鸿涛顺便将剩余的尾款跟劳师傅结清。(210-50-100-40=20)
Master Lao was very grateful with the twenty dollars in his hand.
After all, the work had been completed and the documents had been received. If Wang Hongtao really wanted to refuse to pay the twenty yuan, there was nothing he could do about it.
Master Lao said gratefully:
"Boss, there will be absolutely no problem with the two big rooms, but I think it's better to repair the small one."
"What do you mean?" Wang Hongtao asked puzzledly.
Master Lao went on to explain: "Didn't you put up a big iron bucket there for the convenience of taking a shower? That small room is already old, and I'm afraid the load-bearing column won't be able to bear the weight of the iron bucket, so it's better to change it. I'll help you drive the pile again."
"Don't worry, I'll give you this job for free."
"Boss, you are open and honest, and our Lei family is also not bad!"
"Then thank you for your hard work, Master."
"It's not hard, it's not hard, that's what it should be!"
After discussing the follow-up matters, the two separated at the intersection.
……
"Aunt Jia, when are you going to return the fifty dollars to me?"
When passing by the Jia family, Wang Hongtao heard Jia Zhang's sarcastic voice and felt very unhappy, so he walked in.
Jia Zhang was showing off in the house. When she heard the voice, she flapped her wings and rushed towards Wang Hongtao like an old hen whose feet were caught.
"Wang, when did I borrow money from you? Tell me clearly! It was you who asked me to borrow fifty yuan, and now you are accusing me of asking you for money?"
"You're bullying people and you're bullying me, Zhang Xiaohua?"
"I'm telling you, Mr. Wang, no one in this small piece of land in Nanluoguxiang can take advantage of me, Zhang Xiaohua!"
Jia Zhang said angrily.
Wang Hongtao frowned, a little impatient:
"Aunt Jia, it's clearly written in black and white, and there are our fingerprints on it."
"No matter how you look at it, I am right in this matter! Don't blame me for getting angry if you continue to be so unreasonable!
Before Wang Hongtao entered the room, Jia Zhang was finding fault with Qin Huairu, so when Qin Huairu saw Wang Hongtao bullying Jia Zhang, she secretly laughed on the side.
"Qin Huairu! Are you dead? Don't you know to come out and testify? Tell this kid who borrowed money from whom!"
Qin Huairu hesitated, not knowing whether she should stand up.
Wang Hongtao smiled contemptuously: "Are you sure? There is no such thing as asking a daughter-in-law to prove the reason for borrowing money. Who would believe what a family says?"
"Right, Hongbin?"
Wang Hongbin, however, is a bit of a scoundrel:
"Why waste so much time talking to this old bitch? If you don't want to pay it back, just give me something to pay it back!"
"It is only natural to pay back debts. No one can find fault with it."
As he spoke, Wang Hongbin planned to move the Eight Immortals Table from the Jia family. He had taken a fancy to this solid wood Eight Immortals Table last time.
"You bad guy, get out of our Jia family! You are not allowed to bully my grandma." At this time, Banggeng, who was already in elementary school, rushed over and then bumped into Wang Hongbin with his pot-lid head.
