Siheyuan: Joined the Intelligence Department, my father is a national level

Chapter 238: Gaining Benefits

After all, in this unfamiliar environment, she can only rely on these neighbors to get through the difficulties.

"Third uncle!"

Qin Huairu stood outside Yan Bugui's house and called softly.

"Oh, it's Huairu, what are you doing here?"

Yan Bugui stuck his head out, looked at Qin Huairu and asked.

"Uncle, this is what I am thinking about. I plan to go to work at the steel mill, but Xiaohuahua is only one month old and my sister is still too young, so some things are not convenient for me."

Qin Huairu said somewhat embarrassedly.

"I'd like to trouble Auntie San to help me take care of Xiao Huaihua, is that okay?"

When Yan Bugui heard this, his heart was immediately filled with joy.

He had long wanted to get some benefits from Qin Huairu, but he didn't expect that the opportunity would come to him so soon.

So he pretended to be calm and said.

"Of course you can! Don't worry, Auntie will take good care of Little Sophora japonica."

Qin Huairu couldn't help but feel relieved when he heard Yan Bugui agreed so readily.

She looked at Yan Bugui with gratitude.

"That's great. Thank you so much, Uncle."

However, at this moment, Yan Bugui changed the subject and asked with a smile.

"How much do you pay per day?"

Qin Huairu was stunned. She didn't expect Yan Bugui to suddenly mention the issue of money.

She was a little embarrassed and didn't know what to do for a moment.

"Ah? You want money?"

"This is not nonsense!"

Yan Bugui gave Qin Huairu a cold look.

"Your third aunt will be busy taking care of your daughter, so how can she have time to take care of her own family affairs? Isn't it reasonable for you to spend money to compensate her?"

Qin Huairu knew very well that Yan Bugui was taking the opportunity to blackmail him.

She was unwilling, but helpless.

After all, in this unfamiliar environment, she can only rely on these neighbors to help take care of the children.

So, she could only speak up.

"Then...how much money do you think is appropriate?"

"Uncle, look at our current situation. We are in such a tight spot. How can we come up with any extra money?"

Qin Huairu said to Yan Bugui with a sad face.

Yan Bugui looked at Qin Huairu, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a barely perceptible sly smile.

He knew clearly in his heart that Qin Huairu was testing his bottom line and wanted to see if he could bargain, so he deliberately remained silent and did not express any opinion.

Qin Huairu saw that Yan Bugui was unmoved, and he knew in his heart that it was impossible to get something for free.

She gritted her teeth and decided to ask the price directly.

"So, Uncle San, how much are you going to charge us?"

Qin Huairu asked cautiously.

Yan Bugui stretched out his right hand and made a five gesture.

"Five dollars a month."

He said calmly.

This price was carefully considered by Yan Bugui.

He knew that five dollars might be a considerable expense for Qinhuai Home Inn, but he also knew that the value of the service he provided was far more than that.

Five dollars is a person's monthly living expenses, and he felt that the price he charged was not excessive.

However, Qin Huairu expressed strong dissatisfaction with the price.

"That won't work!"

Her face immediately turned cold and she looked at Yan Bugui with some dissatisfaction.

"Uncle, you can't do this! Huaihua is still young and only needs milk. We don't need to take care of her at all. Even Jingru can take care of herself. It's too much for you to charge five dollars!"

Qin Huairu tried to lower the price by emphasizing the children's age and self-care ability.

Yan Bugui remained unmoved and explained calmly.

"Qin Huairu, you can't just look at the surface. Although Huaihua is small, you have to be very careful in taking care of her. Your third aunt has to watch her all the time. And Qin Jingru, although she can take care of herself, she also needs someone to watch over her. We are here to reduce the burden on your family, don't you think?"

Qin Huairu was speechless after hearing what Yan Bugui said. She knew in her heart that this price was already very fair.

But she was still unwilling to compromise.

"Uncle, can you give me less? How about three? If you don't agree, I will ask other aunts in the courtyard for help."

Qin Huairu tried to use threats to force Yan Bugui to lower the price.

After hearing this, Yan Bugui frowned slightly.

He knew that Qin Huairu was forcing him to make a choice, but he didn't want to give in so easily.

Just when Yan Bugui wanted to say a few words to fight for his position, he was gently pushed by the old woman.

Seeing the old woman nodded slightly, he was full of doubts, but he did not ask on the spot.

So he took a deep breath and spoke slowly.

"Three dollars is fine. When you go to work, just send them to me."

Qin Huairu did not expect Yan Bugui to suddenly give in. When he heard that the price was actually accepted, he immediately smiled.

She looked at the three aunts with gratitude, then went home with her sister and child with a smile.

As soon as the others left, Yan Bugui immediately grabbed his wife.

"Old lady, why don't you let me talk to you again? Maybe she is really willing to pay that much. Three dollars is still too little."

Yan Bugui said with some regret, after all, even if it is one more dollar, it is still good.

"You are stupid. How big are those locust flowers? How can she calculate how much we will eat? And Qin Jingru is just a little girl. We can only prepare as much as we want. What can Qin Huairu say?"

The three aunts explained.

When Yan Bugui heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Old lady, you are really something."

he praised.

"Go away, you almost ruined this good thing."

The third aunt glared at Yan Bugui unhappily.

The two smiled at each other, their eyes gleaming with pride after success.

They tacitly conveyed the breath of joy and victory to each other, as if at this moment, the whole world belonged to the two of them.

However, when Qin Huairu returned to the house, she was a completely different person. The smile on her face was no longer there.

Her face flushed with anger and she was seething with rage.

She felt that she had been badly cheated today, and anger welled up in her heart.

Qin Huairu kept thinking about what had just happened and felt that if it weren't for what Li Youquan and Yi Zhonghai did, he would not be like this today.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, and the fury in her heart grew stronger.

She couldn't help but start cursing Li Youquan and Yi Zhonghai in her heart, thinking that they were both so hateful.

She swore that she would find an opportunity to teach them a lesson and let them know that they were not to be trifled with.

In this way, Qin Huairu spent the night in anger and dissatisfaction.

I don’t know if it was because Qin Huairu kept cursing Li Youquan, but he sneezed countless times that night.
