"Xiao Li, thank you for treating us today!”
"In the future, our workshop will depend on you.”
"When you become rich in the future, don't forget our brothers in the workshop.”
At night, around eight o'clock, outside a restaurant in Sijiu City.
Li Chengye waved goodbye to a group of familiar colleagues in the workshop.
Today's meal cost Li Chengye more than ten yuan, which was almost half of his monthly salary.
However, Li Chengye felt that it was worth it.
After all, not to mention the reward given by the factory for the invention of Quick Heat, he would soon have more than 300 yuan to collect.
This ten or so yuan was nothing.
Moreover, in this era, the words of the workers carried a lot of weight, especially some representatives.
Li Chengye had become a small celebrity in the factory.
Li Chengye's influence in this workshop would be significant in the future.
After bidding farewell to his colleagues, Li Chengye rode his bicycle and slowly returned to the courtyard house.
It wasn't too late yet. Most of the households had just finished dinner and were almost done cleaning up.
It wasn't time to sleep yet.
Therefore, after Li Chengye entered the courtyard house, he did not return to his room. Instead, he parked the car in the middle of the courtyard.
He looked around and was ready to collect the debt.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Li Chengye walked straight to the Jia family's door and began knocking hard on it.
After knocking for a long time, there was no response. It seemed that Li Chengye wanted to leave on his own.
However, he was also very patient. In any case, he continued to knock.
However, the force became stronger and stronger. Soon, the knocking sound became the sound of the door being smashed.
The two doors kept shaking, as if they were going to break at any moment.
"Who is it?"
Finally, a somewhat helpless and trembling voice sounded.
Li Chengye immediately recognized that it was Qin Huairu's voice.
"Sister Qin, it's me, Li Chengye!
Li Chengye said very happily. It didn't sound like he was here to collect a debt.
It was as if an old friend who had not seen him for many years had come to visit.
"Xiao Li, we're already asleep. Can we talk about it tomorrow?”
Qin Huairu's voice rang out from inside.
"Sister Qin, it'll only take a while. I'll leave immediately after I'm done. I won't disturb your sleep.”
Li Chengye didn't stop banging on the door as he spoke.
Creak! Creak!
The door seemed to be a little overwhelmed.
Helpless, Qin Huairu knew that she couldn't hide anymore. She could only open the door and welcome Li Chengye in.
"Sister Qin, look at your clothes. Aren't you still sleeping? Why did you lie to me and say that you were sleeping?”
Li Chengye chuckled when he saw Qin Huiru's neat outfit. He pretended to be angry.
"Xiao Li, what's the matter?”
Facing Li Chengye, Qin Huairu chose to play dumb and decided not to pay.
Ten yuan. Her monthly salary was only around twenty yuan. How could she bear to pay ten yuan to Li Chengye?
"Isn't this the bet we made two days ago? Look, the results are out. Shouldn't you give me the ten yuan?”
Li Chengye waved his hand, and in his hand was a newspaper from the rolling mill.
"Sister Qin, didn't you go to work today? There's no reason why you couldn't see the news.”
"I thought that Sister Qin would send the money over when you saw the news.”
"After waiting for a long time, I could only come and ask for it myself.”
Li Chengye walked straight into the room and casually walked around before finding a chair to sit on.
"You mean the bet we made a few days ago? I was just joking with you.”
Qin Huairu's expression was extremely natural, as if that day was really just a joke.
"I'm a woman with three children. How can I have the money to bet? I'm just joking.”
"I don't want to take it seriously, but it's written in black and white here. Sister Qin, you asked me for money yesterday.”
Li Chengye chuckled as he took out the receipt and said to Qin Huairu.
At this moment, Qin Huairu's expression changed.
"Sigh, Li, Sister Qin was too greedy and wanted to take advantage of me. You know that I have a hard time raising three children alone.”
"I had no choice. I got greedy for a moment, so I played a joke on you. If you're angry, I'll apologize to you.”
"I really don't have the money. I don't even have the tuition fees for the three children now.”
As she spoke, Qin Huairu's tears flowed out again as she spoke to Li Chengye.
"How can I fork out ten yuan? Just take pity on our family and forget it.”
"If it really doesn't work out, I'll do your laundry and cook for you in the next few months. Just treat it as a part-time job to pay off the debt.”
"Mommy!"
"Mommy!"
As expected of Qin Huairu. Li Chengye was deeply impressed by her tears.
This was not the only thing that impressed Li Chengye. As soon as Qin Huairu finished speaking, the three of them started crying.
She kept calling out for her mother. This scene made the listeners sad and the listeners cry.
It made Li Chengye look like a tyrant landlord.
If it was an ordinary person, they might be embarrassed in the face of such a situation. Unfortunately, Li Chengye was not an ordinary person.
"Sister Qin, you had such a good dinner. It doesn't make sense to say that life is difficult!”
"In our courtyard, there are only one or two families that can eat the dishes on your table during the New Year.”
Li Chengye took off the cover on the table and saw all kinds of leftovers.
There was fish and meat. It was the lunch box that Silly Zhu had brought for Qin Huiru that day.
How could Qin Huairu bear to eat such good dishes in one meal? She would eat them slowly in a few portions.
As a result, Li Chengye happened to see some of them.
"Just the dishes on your table are worth at least six or seven yuan. A meal costs six or seven yuan. No one in our courtyard is so extravagant.”
"You said you can't take out ten yuan. Are you kidding me?”
"I didn't buy these vegetables. Silly Zhu took pity on us and brought them from the canteen.”
When Qin Huairu saw the dishes, her expression changed.
Oh no, I forgot to put away these vegetables.
In this era, no matter who saw the dishes on the table and said that their family was in trouble, no one would believe it.
Initially, Qin Huairu thought that even if Li Chengye wanted money, he would definitely come back tomorrow.
By then, the leftovers would have been eaten up, so he didn't hide them.
Who knew that Li Chengye would run over to ask for money in the middle of the night and be caught red-handed?
"Think about it. With my salary, how can I afford these vegetables? You think too highly of me.”
"Such expensive vegetables, and even Silly Zhu was willing to bring them for you. It's only eight to ten yuan, so Silly Zhu must have helped a lot. Besides, didn't you just get your salary?”
No matter what Qin Huairu said, Li Chengye would not relent.
You've just received so many rewards, yet you don't want to donate some to us, but you're still demanding ten yuan. Li Chengye, do you have any sympathy? Are you even human?
Jia Zhangshi, who had been standing at the side, saw that Qin Huairu was unable to deal with Li Chengye. She immediately opened her mouth and started cursing.
