University student Qin Xiaoyu died with deep regrets, betrayed by a scumbag. Reborn, she finds herself in the body of a 25-year-old young widow with depression and two children, living in the 1980s...
It's not that he's stupid; he's sitting on a gold mine without making a move. Ever since the hotel was shut down, countless people have been looking for him.
They all come to our door and talk about money. If they can't reach an agreement, they leave. Some threaten, some intimidate, some insult, and some even slap us a few times as a joke before we leave.
Qi Weiguo's life was worthless, so he was fearless and found it quite interesting to have so many people playing with him.
He never imagined that Qin Xiaoyu would show up, bringing him water and food, arranging everything perfectly. She even took him home without minding his dirtiness, bathing him and trimming his nails—something he never even dared to dream of.
The conditions proposed by A Lei further excited him.
If he stayed at Qi Si's hotel, what difference would it make from finding a place to retire? Would anyone dare to mess with him there?
For some reason, his intuition told him that Qin Xiaoyu's words were reliable and trustworthy.
When he went home with Qin Xiaoyu, he was still just trying his luck. But when Qin Xiaoyu took his hand and started trimming his nails, he had no more doubts. This time, he had made the right bet.
Hearing Hanhan's grandfather recount the past, he felt more at ease. This young woman had a soft, gentle voice, but she was actually very strong-willed, capable of handling anything and meddling in other people's business. He was incredibly lucky to have met her.
The notarization process went smoothly. Although Qi Weiguo was blind, his thinking was clear and his statements were explicit, so the contract was signed quickly.
The next step is to get the hotel unsealed, which will take a few more days. Qin Xiaoyu didn't dare to delay and rushed to go with A Lei to their hometown in Northeast China to get the necessary documents, leaving the rest to Wang Lei and Xiao Si's wife.
"Uncle Qi, please stay at my house for now. You can move out once the hotel is ready. It's inconvenient for you during this time, so please bear with it." Qin Xiaoyu settled Qi Weiguo in.
He had lived a lonely life, and when he suddenly entered a large family, he was still somewhat unaccustomed to it.
Especially since he has poor eyesight and difficulty moving around, and there are too many children in the family, they all stumble and fall, so we have to keep him in the living room and dare not move him.
There are many things going on at home now, it's not as peaceful as before. Qin Xiaoyu and A Lei are rarely home. Zhou Yue tries her best not to bring the children over to cause trouble.
Zhou Xing's mother has already brought Xiao Si's mother and her two children over, and she can take care of three meals a day.
Commander Zhou and Grandpa Hanhan took great care of Jiajia and Xiaoxin, and also took their little sister to and from school.
Qi Weiguo became a mere figurehead, feeling completely out of place. He regretted it a little; Qin Xiaoyu had dangled a rosy picture in his face, but now, it didn't seem so appealing.
That day, he sat on the sofa, listening to the sounds of the TV, feeling a sense of unease. He wanted to get up, but didn't know where to go.
Little Jiajia sat in her walker and babbled over.
The baby walker was sent by her older sister. Qin Xiaoyu didn't want to let Jiajia use it, but the family situation was special recently, and she was afraid that he would fall if she didn't take good care of him, so she decided to use it temporarily.
Little Jiajia tilted her head up and started talking to Qi Weiguo, her soft little hands pressing against his cold knees, bringing him warmth.
This is the kind of life he longed for in his later years.
He reached out his hand, and Xiao Jiajia caught it, squealing even more joyfully.
Qi Weiguo pursed his lips and whistled. He didn't know any other tricks and had never teased children before.
Little Jiajia paused for a moment, then suddenly burst into a string of silvery laughter, giggle giggle giggle...
Qi Weiguo couldn't help but grin; the voice was really pleasant.
He blew on it again, and little Jiajia was so happy she almost choked. He was so scared he didn't dare let go, afraid of dropping the child. The old man and the little girl were having a great time when there was a commotion at the door. It was Zhou Yue's large group of people arriving.
Zhou Yue and Deng Jianyan each carried one, while Li Sheng dragged one, and the room was instantly full.
"Little Jiajia, come here, don't bother Grandpa." Zhou Xing's mother came out when she heard the noise and quickly picked up Little Jiajia.
She was worried that Qi Weiguo wouldn't be able to see and might trip while walking, which was a kind gesture, but Qi Weiguo felt uncomfortable and rejected.
The warmth that had just begun was taken away again.
He kept his mouth tightly shut, slowly stood up, and tried to move back into his room, not to come out again.
"Is this Uncle Qi?" Deng Jianyan hadn't come over until today, and he finally managed to find the time.
"Hmm?" Qi Weiguo heard an unfamiliar voice and wondered who it was.
“Please sit here. Xiaoyu told me twice that I’ve been too busy with other things, and I only had time today.” Deng Jianyan pressed Qi Weiguo back onto the sofa, turned his face, and flipped his eyelids and turned him around.
Qi Weiguo was completely bewildered and had no idea what had happened.
Deng Jianyan then took out a small flashlight from his pocket and carefully checked it again.
"Xiaoyu asked me to take a look at you and arrange for cataract surgery. You'll be able to see after the surgery." Deng Jianyan was very satisfied after the examination. "The situation looks pretty good now. We'll do one first, and then the other after you recover."
"You mean, my eyes can see?"
"Of course, you'll be able to see it after the surgery. Just be careful to rest and avoid staring at the TV for too long. Overusing your eyes can cause a relapse," Deng Jianyan said professionally.
"Great, great! When is the surgery?" Qi Weiguo was so excited that his whole body was trembling. Being able to see again was something he never dreamed of.
This was probably the best gift Qin Xiaoyu could give him. As long as he could see, what did he have to fear?
Deng Jianyan quickly arranged for Qi Weiguo to be admitted to the hospital. The surgery went smoothly and he recovered quickly. They were just waiting for this eye to stabilize before performing surgery on the other eye.
The hotel is all cleaned up and ready to reopen. All the original staff have returned, not one is missing.
They're not stupid; they can see Qin Xiaoyu's capabilities. Even after Qi Si is gone, Qin Xiaoyu will still be in charge of this hotel, so things won't be bad.
"I want to wait until your brother comes back before I open it," said Xiao Si's wife hesitantly.
“No, sister-in-law, I know how you feel, and I understand. But now is not the time to act on emotions. No matter what, life has to go on. My brother will only be at ease if you can live your life well. You know how much loss the hotel will suffer if it closes for even a day. Besides, so many employees are waiting for their wages to live. We can't be too selfish.”
"Okay, I'll listen to you." Fourth Sister-in-law obeyed Qin Xiaoyu without question.
Fourth Sister-in-law personally picked up Qi Weiguo to choose the room. This was Qin Xiaoyu's instruction: if he wanted a presidential suite, he should be given one without hesitation; one must keep one's word.
“I’m getting old, and living in a high-rise building isn’t comfortable. It’s better to stay close to the ground. The seventh or eighth floor is fine.” Qi Weiguo is now sincerely trying to get along with them and hasn’t made any unreasonable demands.
"Uncle Qi, just pick what you like, and I'll have someone prepare it nicely for you. We don't necessarily have to stick to a standard hotel room; just tell me what furniture you like, and I'll add it for you." Sister-in-law Xiao Si has been in the service industry for a while now, and she's changed her mindset.
"No need, I'm just an old man living alone, why would I need to go through all that trouble? This is fine!" Qi Weiguo shook his head repeatedly upon hearing this.
That's how relationships work between people. If everyone is willing to compromise, the path becomes wider.
