The mother and daughter together taught Sheng Dahu how to act pitiful to Sheng Yueqing the next day.

Sheng Dahu has always been an indecisive man, and after marriage he always listened to Zhang Dahua.

Now, I'm taking notes carefully of what Zhang Dahua is teaching me.

He went to find Sheng Yueqing the next day.

Sheng Yueqing was looking at the contract when the security guard called to say that Sheng Dahu had arrived.

Upon hearing this, Sheng Yueqing knew that it was Zhang Dahua's idea.

She still didn't take it to heart, busy with her own work, leaving Sheng Dahu waiting.

Sheng Dahu waited obediently, unlike Zhang Dahua who caused trouble.

The gatekeeper was puzzled as to why the boss had so many poor relatives, one after another.

Sheng Yueqing was busy from morning until noon.

I only remembered Sheng Dahu when I was eating.

Sheng Dahu didn't dare to urge them and waited obediently.

The gatekeeper saw that he was staying put and didn't make things difficult for him.

Sheng Yueqing didn't come over until she finished her work.

She wore a short brown blazer, paired with brown wide-leg pants, and a delicate belt around her waist.

Her hair was slightly wavy, and her red lips were bold.

With her height and the confident stride she strode over in her tall boots, she exuded an aura of power.

The security guard naturally showed her a respectful expression when he saw her. "Boss, are you done with your work?"

Sheng Yueqing nodded, "You guys go eat too."

The security guards nodded respectfully and asked her, "Would you like a serving?"

Sheng Yueqing nodded, "Okay, you can take your time eating. Bring me another serving when you get back."

The security guards nodded and went to the cafeteria for lunch.

Only Sheng Yueqing and Sheng Dahu remained in the guardhouse.

Sheng Dahu hadn't seen Sheng Yueqing for many years. In his memory, Sheng Yueqing was always thin and weak, but very resilient and unyielding.

When I saw her again, although she had changed a lot, her tenacity remained.

Sheng Dahu rubbed his hands together, looking completely honest. "Um, Da Ya? I'm your dad."

Sheng Yueqing has three lines on her forehead.

"Just call me Boss Sheng. Didn't Zhang Dahua tell you about her family matters?"

Old Man Sheng abducted someone else's child; that's a serious crime.

Especially given his complicated background, if he hadn't died, he would be in jail right now.

Sheng Dahu had heard a little about it, but his father abducted someone else's child, which had nothing to do with him.

It wasn't him who kidnapped it.

Besides, his father is dead, and the matter is in the past, so what's the point of saying those things?

He complained to Sheng Yueqing, “I don’t know anything about your situation. I only know that your grandfather brought you back. I felt sorry for you and thought it would be good to keep you at home. At least you can survive if you are given some food.”

“Your mother was indeed not good to you when you were a child, but in those days, not many mothers could be that patient. Look at those women in the village who had a bunch of children, they were all like that with their children.”

It meant that she shouldn't take Zhang Dahua's words to heart, since other families do the same.

Sheng Yueqing looked at him with a cold smile, "What are you doing here today?"

Surely they're not coming to reminisce?

Sheng Dahu thought of Zhang Dahua's instructions, rubbed his hands together, and said shamelessly, "Well, you know we just arrived in Shanghai and don't know anyone here. I thought you'd be familiar with the area, so could you see if you could help us find a place to stay?"

"Or help us find a decent job. After all, your mother and I are getting old, and we don't have much hope for the future. We can only make a living by working."

"Besides, your sister has had a hard life. She finally got married, but she married a bad man. Now that she's divorced, she just hopes she can marry someone better."

"If you know any outstanding single men, you could introduce one to your sister. We don't have high requirements; as long as he can support our family, that's fine."

"Of course, I don't want your help for nothing. I heard you're very busy with your factory. If you need anything in the future, just let us know, and we'll do anything for you."

"We'd be willing to work for you even if it meant nothing."

Sheng Yueqing smiled and watched him perform.

"Work for me for free? Not a single penny?"

“If that’s the case, it’s not impossible. My factory happens to be short two manual laborers. If you two are willing to work for me for free, I’d be happy to give you a meal.”

Sheng Dahu was taken aback.

Surprisingly, she actually agreed.

He was just saying it.

Sheng Yueqing curled her red lips into a roguish smile, "Didn't you say you'd work for me for free? This will save me two salaries."

"Or are you just trying to comfort me?"

Sheng Dahu was caught off guard when she took it seriously, leaving him in a dilemma.

"No, I just think that if you help your sister first, your mother and I will repay you by serving you like slaves once our family is better off."

Sheng Yueqing suddenly realized and said, "Oh, so you want me to help you first before you'll work for me?"

"It seems like he's not entirely sincere about me; there must be a prerequisite, right?"

Sheng Dahu felt guilty. "You're doing so well now, while the three of us are still eating coarse food. I used to secretly buy you things to eat when you were little, have you forgotten?"

Sheng Yueqing hadn't forgotten.

The reason Sheng Dahu bought her food was because he had used the tuition money Old Man Sheng had given her to buy other things, and seeing that she felt guilty, he bought her a cornbread.

He even had the nerve to mention using her tuition fees to buy steamed buns.

"So you're planning to use a cornbread as a bribe to get my help? You're so shameless!"

Sheng Dahu, thick-skinned as ever, said awkwardly, "How about this, you help Jinjin find a good husband. If she becomes rich, she can support me and your mother in the future, and you won't have to bother with her."

"If she has no money and we're desperate, won't we still have to bother you?"

"So please help your sister. After all, you grew up together, so you have some bond."

Sheng Yueqing had no affection for them.

She's only stopped bothering with them now that she's achieved success.

If she were still in the mud, she would definitely drag them down with her.

She sat down in the chair with an air of authority and began negotiating with Sheng Dahu.

"Since you want my help, you have to give me something in return, right?"

"Otherwise, if everyone comes to me for help, wouldn't I be overwhelmed with work?"

Sheng Dahu was a little unsure, "What benefits do you want?"

There's nothing left at home except for an apartment in the city and a house in my hometown.

His old house might be demolished in the future, and he's reluctant to give it up.

As for the house in Shengjin City, we can't give it to them, otherwise where will they live when they go back?

He still wanted to play chess and cards with those old men in the city.

They only go back to the village during holidays like Chinese New Year, so they can't give them a house in the city.

Seeing his eyes darting around, Sheng Yueqing knew he couldn't bear to part with the house, so he insisted on having it.

"I heard that our house in our hometown might be demolished. Why don't you give me the house and I'll help you find a partner for Sheng Jinjin?"

Sheng Dahu's eyes widened; he hadn't expected her to actually want the house.

A slight displeasure rose within her. "You're already going to take your grandfather's house, and you want more?"

That's quite an appetite.

No wonder Zhang Dahua didn't like her; she was so young and already eyeing someone else's house.

Seeing that he had already exposed himself after only a short while, Sheng Yueqing sneered, "I bought the old house with my own money, and it cost twice as much as I did back then."

"If they don't demolish it in the future, I'll actually lose money."
