What?!
Xu Weiguo wondered if he had misheard. Did Zhang Yumei say she would give him money?
Zhang Yumei repeated, "You wouldn't even accept extra pocket money?"
"willing!"
"Of course I'm willing! It's not that I like money, it's just that I feel that if my daughter wants to live at home, then let her live at home. What's a little hardship for me?"
Once he confirmed that Zhang Yumei really wanted to give him the money, Xu Weiguo didn't hesitate for a second. Hesitating for even a second would be disrespectful to the money.
However, even though I've agreed, there are still some things I need to clarify.
"So, how much do you pay me for picking up and dropping off my daughter for a day?" Xu Weiguo asked obsequiously, rubbing his hands together.
Xu Weiguo secretly hoped: one yuan a day? Or fifty cents a day would be fine too, he wouldn't be picky, as long as it wasn't too little.
"Ten yuan a month, regardless of the number of days. Want to do it?"
Zhang Yumei wasn't going to calculate it by the day; it was too much trouble. Besides, if it were calculated by the day, even if it was only 50 cents a day, it would still be 15 yuan.
It would be better to just pay ten yuan a month. If it weren't for the fact that this job is really hard, Zhang Yumei would have preferred to just pay five yuan.
Ten yuan—this price just hit Xu Weiguo's bottom line.
Xu Weiguo wouldn't be willing to accept any price any lower. However, he felt that there was still room for negotiation.
So he tentatively said, "Honey, isn't this a little too little? Why don't you add some more?"
"What, you think ten yuan is too little?"
Zhang Yumei squinted at Xu Weiguo and said, "Think carefully before you speak. If you think it's too little, then I won't give you the ten yuan."
Based on Xu Weiguo's years of experience with Zhang Yumei, he knew that he could no longer resist at this point.
If he continues to recklessly try to bargain, then in the end, he will most likely lose the money but still have to do the work.
"That's enough, that's enough. Ten yuan is just right, so it's settled!"
......
"Shouldn't we tell our daughter?"
"Why not? You didn't tell her about something so important. What if she gets angry? Are you going to coax her?"
"Look at what you're saying, our daughter isn't that petty. Besides, Jianjun isn't getting married, he's just engaged."
Huang Eryuan thought Chen Zhaodi was worrying unnecessarily. Huang Qinqin was so pregnant, it must be so tiring for her to run around like that.
Seeing that Huang Eryuan still insisted on not telling Huang Qinqin, Chen Zhaodi said directly, "Fine, since you don't want to tell your daughter."
"Then don't tell her, but if she asks later, you have to admit that you didn't want to call her. If she gets angry, you'll be responsible for coaxing her yourself."
Chen Zhaodi was speechless. Did Huang Eryuan really not understand Huang Qinqin at all?
Of course she knew that Huang Qinqin was already very pregnant, but the problem was that Huang Qinqin just loved to join in the fun.
The last time Huang Jianguo went to Wangjia Village to look at potential partners, Huang Qinqin traveled a long distance to go with him.
Huang Jianjun is currently preparing for the engagement banquet at a state-run hotel. If they don't inform Huang Qinqin, she'll be furious when she finds out later.
Besides, even if we take a step back and assume the worst, Huang Qinqin is still able to walk normally, and in fact, she may even need to walk more.
Upon hearing Chen Zhaodi's words, Huang Eryuan immediately backed down; he dared not take responsibility himself.
Although he felt that Huang Qinqin wasn't that petty, he still knew the truth of the matter.
"Alright then, I'll do as you say. Go tell our daughter."
After saying that, Huang Eryuan turned his bike around and rode towards the department store.
...
After shipping all of George's orders in the morning, Huang Qinqin had some free time.
He's currently in the office, playing cards with Fang Chuchu and other colleagues.
However, Huang Qinqin's luck seemed to be quite bad today, because her entire face was covered with notes.
She watched Fang Chuchu play her last card with a frustrated expression, then slumped onto the table and pleaded, "I'm not playing anymore."
As the big winner of the day, Fang Chuchu felt that the game wasn't over yet: "Why don't we stop playing? There's still more than half an hour before we get off work."
"It's so boring not playing cards, let's play a few more rounds!"
Fang Chuchu, such a beautiful woman, was acting coquettishly towards him like this, and it really made his bones feel weak and numb.
If it were a man facing Fang Chuchu's coquettishness, he would definitely be willing to agree to anything she asked.
Unfortunately, Huang Qinqin wasn't a man, and she coldly and ruthlessly refused: "I'm not playing. I'll just sit here and wait to get off work."
"Oh, fine, I'll just let you have your way, you can come with me again."
Knock knock knock
Hearing a knock on the door, Huang Qinqin and the others quickly tore off the paper strips from their faces before saying, "Please come in."
After Mo Jiaxin opened the door, she didn't go in, but said to Huang Qinqin, "Qinqin, your parents are here and waiting for you outside."
"Oh, okay, thank you Jiaxin, thank you for coming all the way to tell me."
Huang Qinqin found it strange, not knowing whether it was Xu Weiguo and his group or Huang Eryuan and his group that came. But no matter which parents they were, they rarely seemed to come to the department store to look for her.
Could something have happened?!
When Huang Qinqin arrived at the ready-to-wear section, she saw that it was Huang Eryuan and Chen Zhaodi who had come to find her, and she felt relieved.
Since it was Chen Zhaodi and the others, they must have something to tell her, but they were too lazy to wait for her to get off work at the Xu family's house, so they came over instead.
No wonder Chen Zhaodi and Huang Qinqin are mother and daughter; Huang Qinqin accurately guessed Chen Zhaodi's thoughts.
Huang Eryuan originally planned to go directly to the Xu family's house, but Chen Zhaodi disliked that Huang Qinqin got off work late and always had to wait for her for a long time, so she came directly to the department store instead.
"Dad, Mom, did you come all this way to see me? Is there something you want to tell me?"
Chen Zhaodi nodded: "Yes, your second brother is getting engaged in a few days. He's planning to have a meal at the state-run restaurant with Shengnan's family."
"We just happened to be passing by and wanted to ask if you'd like to come over for dinner that day?"
After saying that, Chen Zhaodi walked around Huang Qinqin twice, then nodded in satisfaction: "Hmm, you've lost a little weight. It seems you have been walking to and from get off work these days."
When Huang Qinqin heard that Huang Jianjun was getting engaged, she immediately said, "I want to go. Junhui and I will go together."
"How could I not lose weight? I walk to and from get off work every day. Mom, look, am I getting all tanned?"
"Where is it? It's still white and chubby."
Chen Zhaodi is very satisfied with Huang Qinqin's current state. Huang Qinqin herself may not have noticed, but Chen Zhaodi has. She is in much better condition than before.
Previously, Huang Qinqin would find a place to sit down after standing for less than two minutes because she couldn't stand up straight and her back wasn't strong enough.
But now that Chen Zhaodi has been talking to her for so long, Huang Qinqin hasn't reached out to support her back, and she doesn't seem to be uncomfortable at all.
Knowing that Huang Qinqin's health was improving, Chen Zhaodi was no longer so worried.
