Chapter 194: Liang Ladi's Industrial Coupons

Qin Huairu's quarrel with her mother-in-law is becoming more and more frequent.

Neither side can stand the other.

Jia Zhangshi would set down her carrying pole every few days.

She always felt she had become a mother-in-law through hardship, had risen, and should enjoy blessings, but this unfilial Qin Huairu enslaves her every day and won't even let him eat his fill.

Even if she eats a bit of the children's steamed buns, she argues with her.

She's about to die of anger.

Yang Qing watched happily, then walked over.

"Qin Sister is lecturing the mother-in-law again—let me say, in our courtyard, Jia Zhangshi, there's no one lazier than you."

"Look at San Da Ma—now she has a daughter-in-law, yet she still washes clothes and cooks every day."

"How can the difference between people be so huge?"

Upon hearing Yang Qing compare her to San Da Ma, Jia Zhangshi immediately charged at him.

"Yang Qing, you little bastard, isn't Qin Huairu corrupted by you?"

"You incite Qin Huairu to beat my son Bang Geng every day."

"Now you're inciting my daughter-in-law to bully me, Yang Qing, you little bastard."

Yang Qing twisted his body and dodged.

"I only spoke the truth, Aunt Jia—why are you so worked up?"

"Since Qin Huairu married in, she's waited on you like an old Buddha—clothes come to your hands, food to your mouth."

"Now Qin Huairu goes to work; according to past affection, you should also hold up this family."

"I don't see you doing anything for this family, only see you not eating enough."

"Look at you—you've only been out a short while, and you've gotten several rounds fatter."

"Ah, having such a mother-in-law, Qin Sister really suffers."

After saying that, he ran off.

From behind came Jia Zhangshi's shouting.

"Qin Huairu, do you have some illicit affair with Yang Qing?"

"Mom, what are you talking about?"

"You're making it impossible for me to go on…"

Yang Qing let out a tirade, his mood improved greatly, and he continued walking home, hiding his talents and fame.

Arriving in the back courtyard, he saw Liang Ladi's several children, their noses running from the cold, cheeks red and chubby.

Seeing Yang Qing, Liang Ladi hurriedly greeted him.

"Yang Qing, come, come, I have something to tell you."

Yang Qing was startled; Liang Ladi rarely lets others into her home.

Now that she's called, we still have to give her face.

Yang Qing lifted the cotton curtain, entered, and saw a row of planting boxes arranged around the good family's stove.

"Liang Sister, what's up?"

Liang Ladi pulled him further inside.

"I heard you know someone who deals in industrial coupons?"

She looked hopefully at Yang Qing's face, hoping for an affirmative answer.

Yang Qing shook his head.

"Who told you that? I'm a three-good student."

Liang Ladi snorted.

"You, a three-good student?"

"Just say whether you'll help with this or not."

With her straightforward nature, Yang Qing even wanted to spank her.

"First tell me where you got this news."

"Besides, everyone says you used to not pursue a proper job, knew ticket scalpers, and that's not normal."

"Just say whether you'll help; I can still give you some benefits."

Upon hearing that, Yang Qing's face stiffened.

"Who's spreading this rumor about me?"

"I'm going to sue him for slander."

Liang Ladi ignored his fooling around.

"All right, all right, let's get down to business."

"Five bucks, can you build me a bridge?"

Yang Qing also put away his playful thoughts.

"You really want to deal in industrial coupons?"

Liang Ladi.

"Others can do it, why can't I?"

"I have to raise a family— is that easy for me?"

She even put on a pitiful act.

Yang Qing thought for a moment, then nodded.

"Then go find Gu Ning."

"Whether you can succeed or not has nothing to do with me."

"After saying that, Yang Qing left."

"Walking out the door, Xu Damao saw Yang Qing come out of Liang Ladi's house."

"They revealed a meaningful smile."

"After Yang Qing walked into the back courtyard."

"Xu Damao said to Lou Xiao'e."

"\"Did you see, did you see? Yang Qing had better not hook up with a widow. \""

"\"He's not a good person; don't keep going to his house. \""

"Lou Xiao'e also had an expression of disbelief."

"\"I never expected Yang Qing to be this kind of person. \""

"\"Chen Hong is such a good person; how could he not cherish her. \""

"\"This matter, we have to tell Chen Hong. \""

"Saying that, Xu Damao was about to walk out."

"Xu Damao grabbed Lou Xiao'e."

"\"What are you going to do? If Chen Hong finds out, we'll still have a falling out. \""

"\"Even if not, Yang Qing already got the certificate. \""

"\"Don't meddle in other people's affairs. \""

"Yang Qing returned home all the way."

"The old lady was stroking the cat at the door."

"\"Grandma, it's so cold outside; let's hurry back. \""

"\"Since Little Flower went into hibernation, Big Flower has become the old lady's sole beloved. \""

"\"Alright, let's go back inside. \""

"\"Chen Hong hasn't come back yet; you go greet her. \""

"Yang Qing nodded."

"\"You go back first; I'll go pick her up. \""

"He had just sent the old lady inside when outside came the noisy chatter of several women."

"Yang Qing looked and saw, good grief, Chen Xueru and Xu Huizhen had both come."

"\"How did you all end up together? \""

"Chen Xueru pursed her lips."

"\"Why aren't you welcoming us? \""

"\"We're not here to find you; what business do you have? \""

"\"Hurry up and go cook. \""

"Xu Huizhen stood aside watching Chen Xueru talk back to Yang Qing, feeling delighted inside."

"Yang Qing was so angry he wanted to hit her."

"But under the might of his wife, he could only go cook."

"The three women entered the old lady's room."

"Soon the room was filled with laughter and chatter."

"Yang Qing took out the vegetables and began to tidy up."

"He also specially took out the scallion, waiting for San Da Ye to come and take it."

"Not long after, San Da Ye indeed came over, hopping along."

"Yang Qing pointed to the large plate placed nearby."

"\"I've prepared the things for you. \""

"San Da Ye thanked him profusely and took his leave."

"\"Thank you, thank you, Yang Qing; I'm leaving now. \""

"After the meal was ready, a group of people came to the main hall; the Eight Immortals table was filled with dishes."

"\"Wow, what a feast! Yang Qing did a great job. \""

"Chen Xueru gave him a thumbs-up."

"Yang Qing sat down."

"\"Don't rush; let's open a bottle of osmanthus-aged wine and have a drink. \""

"He opened the wine bottle."

"Chen Hong received it in her hand."

"\"Today is indeed worth celebrating. \""

"\"I wish Sister Huizhen a victorious start. \""

"\"I wish Sister Xueru instant fame. \""

"\"I wish the man of my household to become a member of the street office. \""

"Only then did Yang Qing understand why these two women had come today."

"It should be that their street office praised them, so today they came together to find him, this benefactor, to celebrate."

"\"What my wife said is really good. \""

"\"Also, I wish our grandmother a long life of a hundred years. \""

"\"Come, let's cheers. \""

Let us pay tribute to the past year.

Let us look forward to tomorrow.

Tomorrow will be better.

The atmosphere has been built up to this point; we can't not drink.

So a group of people started drinking.

Cups and wine sticks crossed, the dishes took flight.

Finally, Xu Huizhen spoke the purpose of coming this time.

We have been reaccepted by the Jiedao.

Our Jiedao aunt told us that if we work hard, next year she will give us two positions at the Jiedao office.

This is simply too good for us.

The stone in our hearts has loosened a bit.
