Chapter 987 I'm Doing This for Your Own Good



"ah?"

Jia Dongxu turned around, somewhat bewildered: "Brother Guang, my wife is from the countryside, she's never seen much of the world. Don't worry, I'll definitely bring the money back tomorrow."

"I asked you to bring your wife along for your own good!" Brother Guang said unhappily.

ha?

Now Jia Dongxu was even more confused.

What's the difference between repaying the money yourself and bringing Qin Huairu to repay the money?

You can't exactly say that if you bring Qin Huairu along, Tiger will give you a discount.

Zhang Laosan then understood what Guang Ge meant.

Having known Guang Ge for so long, he knew that the guy was no longer interested in exploring the alleyways, but had instead switched to seducing other people's wives.

If I remember correctly, I mentioned to him that Qin Huairu was quite attractive, and Guang Ge definitely wanted to take advantage of her.

"Would Brother Guang lie to you? Just bring Qin Huairu with you tomorrow!" Zhang Laosan chimed in.

In terms of looks and figure, Zhang Laosan was definitely no match for Qin Huairu, so he had his eye on her. However, his wife had a fiery temper, and Zhang Laosan was all talk and no action.

But this time is different. If Brother Guang succeeds, he might be able to get a piece of the pie too.

People who frequent places like this are hardly good people.

Jia Dongxu didn't respond after hearing this. Although he was addicted to gambling, he wasn't stupid. He knew that his wife was quite attractive. Sha Zhu had been completely infatuated with Qin Huairu back in the courtyard, and Xu Damao's gaze towards Qin Huairu was also strange.

If Qin Huairu were brought here, wouldn't his hat be incredibly high?

And so, Zhang Laosan pushed Jia Dongxu back to the courtyard house.

Once inside, Jia Dongxu discovered that Qin Huairu was still awake.

"Dongxu, you're back! Are you hungry? I'll make you some noodles." Qin Huairu quickly came to greet him.

Today she went to the market and bought some eggs and vegetables, as well as some high-gluten flour. In the evening, she ate a big bowl of hand-pulled noodles with eggs.

There are still quite a few hand-pulled noodles left, which Qin Huairu specially reserved for Jia Dongxu.

Men work hard outside to earn money, so women should take care of the home and make sure their husbands have a hot meal when they come home.

"I'm not eating anymore, I'm going to sleep!"

Jia Dongxu was heavily in debt and had almost had his fingers chopped off, so he had no appetite at all.

He just wants to figure out how to raise the money so he can pay back Tiger Brother the thousand-plus yuan tomorrow.

Otherwise, given Tiger's personality, he would definitely come to our house to collect the debt.

When that happens, news will spread that Jia Dongxu lost 1,500 yuan gambling, and his newly established persona of great ability will collapse.

"Once I get through this, I'll never gamble again," Jia Dongxu vowed silently to himself, before crawling into bed with Qin Huairu's help.

In the dark, Qin Huairu didn't notice the bruises on Jia Dongxu's face, and she had no suspicion about the strange smell on his pants, as Jia Dongxu had often been like that since he became disabled.

"Dongxu..." Qin Huairu shyly pressed her head against Jia Dongxu's side: "Bang Geng is too lonely by himself, I want to have another one."

“Our family is small, so we have to work harder to ensure the Jia family continues to grow. Look at Uncle San’s big family, it’s so lively.”

Previously, the family was so poor that they couldn't even afford food, so Qin Huairu naturally didn't want to have a second child with Jia Dongxu. Otherwise, the child would be a burden and he would suffer along with her.

But things are different now. Jia Dongxu can make money, so Qin Huairu naturally has no intention of remarrying and even wants to have a litter of sons.

These days, families with many sons are considered impressive and powerful.

Not to mention the distant ones, just look at the families of the second and third uncles in the courtyard. Once their sons grow up, who in the courtyard will dare to bully them?

This is true in the city, and even more so in the countryside.

If a family has seven or eight sons, they can practically do whatever they want in the village.

Having come from a rural background, Qin Huairu understood the advantages of having many sons, so she actively pestered Jia Dongxu to have a second child.

"Get out of here, what are you going to have!"

Jia Dongxu was currently preoccupied with how to repay the money, and had no time to think about having a child with Qin Huairu.

Even though Qin Huairu was a good driver, Jia Dongxu had no thoughts about it at this moment.

"All right......"

Qin Huairu muttered something in a wronged tone, then turned over and went to sleep, while a sense of crisis suddenly rose in her heart.

They say men become bad when they have money. Jia Dongxu earns so much every day, could he have other ideas?

Otherwise, why would she reject herself?

Thinking of this, Qin Huairu decided to ask Jia Dongxu for money the next morning. Only by keeping the family's money in her own hands could she prevent Jia Dongxu from going out and fooling around.

The next day, early morning.

Jia Dongxu rubbed his face and, with red eyes, woke up Qin Huairu, who was standing next to him.

"Qin Huairu, help me get dressed and get out of bed."

"Huh, now?"

Qin Huairu, who was still half asleep, sat up groggily and was startled by Jia Dongxu's appearance.

Good heavens!

Why is Jia Dongxu's face so swollen?

Not only was her face swollen, but her eyes were also bloodshot. If she hadn't carried Jia Dongxu to bed yesterday, she would have thought he hadn't come home all night.

"Dongxu, what happened to you? Did someone beat you up?"

Jia Dongxu waved his hand: "Don't ask so many questions. Get me out of bed first. I need to talk to Yi Zhonghai about something."

After pondering all night, Jia Dongxu could only come up with half a solution: to resell the house he had just bought.

The reason it's only half is because the house can only be sold for a maximum of 600, leaving a 900 yuan hole.

But Jia Dongxu couldn't care less about that now. He just wanted to pay back what he could, otherwise Tiger would drag him out of the theater today.

Seeing that Jia Dongxu was still as impulsive as ever, Qin Huairu didn't dare to ask any more questions and quickly dressed him.

"Give me a change of pants!"

"Okay, sure."

After getting ready, Jia Dongxu was dressed and, without Qin Huairu's help, pushed his wheelchair to the central courtyard himself.

As luck would have it, Yi Zhonghai came out of the house with a teacup and a towel, preparing to wash his face and brush his teeth by the sink.

"Yi Zhonghai!"

Jia Dongxu raised his hand and shouted.

This startled Yi Zhonghai, and his face darkened when he saw Jia Dongxu rolling towards him with a serious expression.

What does that mean?

If someone comes to see me so early in the morning, it can't be anything good!

The two families have almost no contact now. The only thing they had was when I was cleaning my house and moved the furniture out.

Could it be that they're trying to extort money from me?

"Jia Dongxu, what do you want to do?"

Yi Zhonghai asked warily, while also noticing the bruises on Jia Dongxu's face.

"Cough cough!"

Noticing Yi Zhonghai's strange gaze, Jia Dongxu instinctively covered his face and asked, "Are you... are you still going to buy a house?"

"Huh?" Yi Zhonghai was taken aback.

"I mean, do you still want my house?"
