Sister Hong is not that kind of person. This was Qin Huai’s first thought.
But he immediately rejected this idea. A woman with old and young wants to survive in such a world. No matter what she does, it is for her family and can be forgiven.
He accepted Sister Hong's approach.
However, it is easy for people to speak from different perspectives. As an outsider, he can easily say that he forgives Sister Hong. As her own child, will Goudan also think so?
The six-year-old Goudan, with a maturity that was disproportionate to his age, held his head high and waited for Qin Huai's answer.
I always thought of him as a child who knew nothing, but after hearing what he said just now, I can no longer treat him as a child. His ideas are too dangerous.
Qin Huai carefully considered his words and said, "Goudan, you are still young. There are many things adults do that you don't understand. Your mother would even sacrifice her life for you."
Goudan, however, persisted in asking, "You don't want to marry my mother, do you?"
"It's not the same thing..."
Without waiting for him to finish, Goudan ran outside and ignored Qin Huai no matter how he called him. Qin Huai realized for the first time that a six-year-old child could be so mature.
It's really terrible. Sister Hong is a woman with a child and a nagging mother-in-law. Life is already difficult for her, and now if her child has such thoughts, how can she live?
He followed Goudan to Sister Hong's door and heard Sister Hong call Goudan and say, "Don't you like Uncle Qin Huai the most? He called you, why didn't you answer him?"
Goudan went straight into the house and refused to come out. Sister Hong saw Qin Huai standing in front of the door and said, "I don't know what's wrong with this kid. He's becoming more and more disobedient."
"Sister Hong, boys have grown up and become sensible." Qin Huai could not make his words too clear, so he could only say it vaguely.
Sister Hong thought he was joking and said with a smile, "He's only a little kid. He must have been upset by something I said. I'll comfort him later."
Qin Huai felt a little uneasy, but he didn't think anything was wrong. After all, he was just a child of a few years old. Maybe he was overthinking it.
The old woman stared at him fiercely. If he said another word to Sister Hong, her eyes would pop out. He really couldn't stay here any longer.
Sister Hong could only give him an apologetic smile, and Qin Huai could only try to save face by saying, "Sister, you guys go ahead and do your work. I'll be leaving soon too."
When she walked into Qin Laoshuan's house, she found Qin Fengying also weaving mats. Seeing him walking straight towards her, Qin Fengying dodged and hid in the house.
Today was really a ghost.
Qin Huai said angrily, "Before, you harassed me every day when I wasn't looking for you. Now that I'm looking for you, you act like a young lady who can't face people. I'm not a ghost, why are you hiding when you see me?"
"Go away, I don't want to talk to you." Qin Fengying's angry voice came from inside.
Since the incident at the well, Qin Fengying rarely went out. Her strange body was exposed to the eyes of the whole village. Everyone knew that she was a hermaphrodite. If it weren't for Qin Laoshuan's protection, it was unknown whether she could survive.
Qin Huai said, "Okay, I'm leaving."
Qinjiazhuang was too heavy, so heavy that Qin Huai couldn't breathe.
Back at the store, the old man asked a few questions and found out that Qin Laoshuan had arranged it himself. He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Okay, Laoshuan can handle this. We can all make some money and live a better life."
Qin Zhonglin suddenly appeared at the door of the store. Qin Huai said happily, "Master Qin, how did you find time to come?"
After taking a look at his appearance, Old Man Qin looked at Qin Huai again. His expression became inexplicably nervous and he took the initiative to ask, "Is your last name Qin too?"
"Grandpa, Master Qin is a driver at the textile factory. I met him when I was repairing a car. Master Qin, come in and sit down." Qin Huai introduced the two people without noticing the strange expression on Old Man Qin's face.
Qin Zhonglin smiled bitterly and said, "I'm no longer in the garment factory. I don't have a job anymore."
In this day and age, being unemployed is like starving to death. Qin Huai asked in surprise, "What happened? So suddenly?"
“Those with bad ingredients were all dismissed from the factory.”
It seems that the situation is becoming increasingly serious.
As the two of them talked, Old Man Qin looked at them thoughtfully, with a look of fear on his face, but Qin Huai had been talking to Qin Zhonglin and didn't notice anything wrong.
Qin Zhonglin is a city dweller. If he were from the countryside, he could return to the village to farm after being cleared out, but he is a city dweller and has no way out. Now he looks at Qin Huai with a look of panic.
Qin Huai said, "Master Qin, what are your plans?"
Qin Zhonglin suddenly hesitated and said, "Yu Shuweiran, I came to see you."
Qin Huai immediately understood and said enthusiastically, "We are all old friends. Master Qin has nowhere to go, and my shop also needs someone to stay in the shop to repair cars. If you don't mind the small size of this place, come here and help me."
When Old Man Qin heard this, his face was filled with misery. He didn't want Qin Huai to get too close to this person.
Qin Zhonglin was unsure before he came, but he didn't expect Qin Huai to invite him before he could even open his mouth. He agreed embarrassedly.
The identities of the two quickly changed from friends to boss and subordinate. Although it was a bit awkward, the livelihood problem was finally solved. Face is not as important as survival, so he was still very happy.
"Okay, help out in the store. The salary is 40 yuan a month, and lunch is provided at noon. You can eat whatever we eat. If you don't mind, you can come tomorrow."
"Don't mind, don't mind. I could actually come today. Qin Huai, you really helped me a lot."
"Then let's start from today, Brother Qin. From now on, we are all a family. If you have anything to say, just talk to me."
Whenever he saw his face, he saw his father from his previous life. No matter what he felt, he couldn't ignore it.
Old Man Qin pulled Qin Huai aside and said, "Qin Huai, is it okay for our small temple to pay him so much money every month?"
Qin Huai finally realized that the old man seemed unwilling, so he patiently explained:
"Grandpa, you've seen it these past few days. Whenever I go out, the car can't be repaired. With him around, I can go out without any delays. We need people like him. As for the money, don't worry about it. Forty dollars a month is still enough."
"I'm not talking about that. I'm worried that outsiders will know that we hired someone to look after the store. Will anything bad happen?" Capitalists and landlords were both targets of attack. Qin Huai was simply walking into the muzzle of a gun.
"Grandpa, I've thought about this too. From now on, we can just say he's one of our family members. We all have the last name Qin anyway."
"Oh..." The old man didn't say anything seeing that he already had a solution.
Qin Huai didn't think much about it, said a few words to the old man, and then took Qin Zhonglin to the store and told him how to use the facilities here.
Qin Zhonglin said, "I can fix minor problems, but you have to fix the major ones."
"No problem, I'll fix anything that can't be fixed."
Ever since Qin Zhonglin was about to arrive, Old Man Qin had been sitting in front of the small counter. People who came to buy things called him several times before he reacted.
