Chapter 125 Earning Money from Wang Xiaohu (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Before long, Wang Xiaohu had finished a pot of hot water and eaten most of the salted fish, leaving him with a round belly.

Wang Xiaohu patted his belly and let out a satisfied burp.

Lu Ting reminded him, "There's still a lot left to eat. Don't you like it? Hurry up and keep eating."

Wang Xiaohu waved his hand, "I can't eat anymore. If I keep eating, my stomach is going to explode."

This was the first time Xu Qingmo had heard Wang Xiaohu say he couldn't eat anymore. In the past, he would often say that he still hadn't eaten enough and wanted more.

"You're not allowed to leave until you finish your food," Lu Ting reminded him.

Wang Xiaohu was just wondering why he had no reason to stay here, and when he heard this, he was immediately overjoyed.

"Can I really stay here?" Wang Xiaohu's eyes lit up as he asked uncertainly.

Lu Ting suddenly realized something was wrong. "Are you deliberately leaving the food uneaten here?"

"Of course not, I really can't eat anymore."

Lu Ting looked at Xu Qingmo, wanting to hear her opinion.

Xu Qingmo tossed the remaining salted fish into Wang Xiaohu's arms, saying, "Take the fish and go back. I don't want to see you here."

Wang Xiaohu was somewhat unwilling, "Why are you kicking me out? I haven't even finished eating the salted fish yet. Lu Ting said that I can't leave until I finish eating. I want to be a person who keeps his promises. I will definitely not leave until I finish eating."

Xu Qingmo warned, "If you don't leave now, I don't mind kicking you out later."

Wang Xiaohu knew very well that Xu Qingmo had this ability, so he couldn't stay any longer and left with the remaining salted fish.

Throughout the journey, Wang Xiaohu kept showing off that he had obtained a salted fish.

Zhou Tianyu watched from afar, never expecting that Wang Xiaohu could leave with the fish. Unable to contain his curiosity, he chased after him and asked, "Wang Xiaohu, did you get this fish from Xu Qingmo's house?"

"If it wasn't taken from Xu Qingmo's house, then it must have been taken from yours? Does your family even have the means to do that?" Wang Xiaohu rolled his eyes and said to Zhou Tianyu in an annoyed tone.

Zhou Tianyu was also tempted, and tried to negotiate, saying, "Since you've already eaten most of this salted fish, how about I keep the rest?"

"want to?"

Zhou Tianyu nodded vigorously.

Wang Xiaohu snorted, "I'm not giving it to you!"

“We’re best friends, you can’t keep everything to yourself,” Zhou Tianyu said again.

Wang Xiaohu slapped him on the head. "You still dare to say I'm hogging food? Who just abandoned me and ran away? Zhou Tianyu, you're a coward."

Zhou Tianyu felt that he had already vented his anger, and Wang Xiaohu should have felt better.

Zhou Tianyu asked with a grin, "Are you satisfied now? Can I have it?"

Wang Xiaohu: "Get out of here, or I'll cripple you."

Zhou Tianyu pursed his lips and left reluctantly.

For the next few days, Wang Xiaohu went to Zhou Tianyu's house for meals on time, and left immediately after eating.

Zhou Qiang couldn't help but ask Zhang Cui the reason, "Why have you been thinking of having Wang Xiaohu stay at home for dinner lately?"

As far as I can remember, Zhang Cui wasn't someone who liked to take in other people's children, especially since Wang Xiaohu was so mischievous that many people in the residential compound didn't like him.

Zhang Cui used to hate him, but now she's actually inviting Wang Xiaohu to her house for dinner.

Zhou Qiang was filled with curiosity.

Zhang Cui spoke the words she had prepared earlier, "My previous complaints about Wang Xiaohu were purely because of his mother, Cai Qinqin. Now that Cai Qinqin has left the family compound and Wang Shuncai has gone on a mission, Wang Xiaohu is all alone at home. If the neighbors don't help him, who will?"

After hearing this, Zhou Qiang felt that Zhang Cui was now very understanding.

He took out a few ten-yuan bills from his pocket and placed them in Zhang Cui's hand.

"From now on, whatever the children want to eat, just take the money and buy it for them. Don't be stingy with money."

Zhang Cui was astonished; Zhou Qiang would never have given her so much money before.

Just because Wang Xiaohu has one more mouth to feed, he suddenly gave her so much money.

Is this a case of turning misfortune into blessing?

Zhang Cui carefully put the money away. "Don't worry, I will definitely make sure the children eat well. I will make sure they are healthy and chubby."

After seeing Zhou Qiang off, Zhang Cui went to attend to her own business.

Wang Xiaohu, who was hiding behind the door, slipped into the house and put all the money that Zhang Cui had collected into his pocket.

Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, Wang Xiaohu quickly disappeared.

That noon, Wang Xiaohu did not appear at Zhang Cui's house on time.

Wang Xiaohu asked Zhou Tianyu to tell her that he wouldn't be coming today. Although Zhang Cui was suspicious, she was happy that Wang Xiaohu didn't want to come, which meant she could save a meal. She then told Zhou Tianyu to eat first.

Wang Xiaohu appeared at Lu Ting's door and followed Lu Ting into the house.

Wang Xiaohu pulled out a ten-yuan note and stuffed it into Lu Ting's hand. "Here's the money. Can I eat here?"

Looking at the money in his hand, Lu Ting asked curiously, "Where did you get the money?"

"Of course, it was left to me by my dad. He was worried that I wouldn't have anything to eat at home, so he gave me the money," Wang Xiaohu said.

Lu Ting felt that he had been eating and drinking for free at Shen Jiang's house all along, without bringing any benefits to the family.

But the fact that he can make money from Wang Xiaohu now proves that he is not a useless person after all.

Thinking of this, Lu Ting felt much more at ease.

“You can eat here, but you can’t do whatever you want. You have to listen to me. Otherwise, I’ll give you your money back and won’t let you stay here.” Lu Ting deliberately put on a cold face.

Wang Xiaohu nodded vigorously, "I know, I promise I won't make things difficult for you."

After trying many different places, I still think the food here is the best.

Wang Xiaohu has become so picky about food because he's been pampered.

Lu Ting told Xu Qingmo that Wang Xiaohu had stayed for dinner and that he had paid him.

Lu Ting handed the ten-yuan note to Xu Qingmo.

Xu Qingmo was not interested in the money, especially not in Wang Xiaohu's money.

“You know how shameless Wang Xiaohu is, so he's not going to make that money,” Xu Qingmo said.

"Wang Xiaohu agreed to just eat and not cause trouble. If you don't like it, I can leave my portion of food for Wang Xiaohu to eat. You can keep this money."

Xu Qingmo countered, "Are you sure you want to make this money?"

Lu Ting nodded. "I also want to be a useful person."

Xu Qingmo didn't know what to say. Since this was Lu Ting's idea, she decided to support it for the time being.

"You don't need to skimp on your own meals. Just keep an eye on Wang Xiaohu and make sure he doesn't cause any trouble. Then we can talk everything over."

"Don't worry, don't worry, I'll definitely keep a close eye on him."

During lunch, Wang Xiaohu behaved well, did not deliberately cause trouble, and only ate the food in his bowl and in front of him.

After eating and drinking to their hearts' content, Wang Xiaohu sat to the side, waiting for Xu Qingmo and Lu Ting to finish their meal so he could wash the pots and pans.

Xu Qingmo warned, "If you break the dishes again, you'll never be able to come in through this door again!"
