Chapter 590: Handling Bang Geng's Matter

Qin Huairu stared blankly as Yang Qing left, feeling even worse inside.

After crying for a while, she went to take a bath, then from the bottom of her suitcase she took out a set of clothes.

Qin Huairu blushed, put them on, then went into the room.

Yang Qing originally had no intention of dealing with Qin Huairu.

But after seeing Qin Huairu's attire clearly, his bottom line gradually disappeared.

That night, Yang Qing experienced heavenly bliss and unlocked eighteen martial arts.

………

………

The next day, Yang Qing got a headache.

Having dealt with Qin Huairu, the mess that was Bang Geng lay before him.

Wanting him to turn over a new leaf is extremely difficult.

A person like Bang Geng, who loves eating and hates work, does not follow the proper path—this has become a habit.

You say let him change? Don't joke—how much effort would that take?

He, Yang Qing, simply doesn't have that patience.

Leaving it unattended won't work either; Qin Huairu has already devoted herself to winning Yang Qing's favor, and if he does nothing, this matter really can't be passed over.

Bang Geng and his wife are too idle; we must find them something to do to keep their energy in check.

Yang Qing thought of Jia Zhangshi and thought of the children.

A family, after all, should be neat and tidy.

Having thought of a plan, Yang Qing felt much more at ease.

As expected, Bang Geng came over early in the morning.

Upon entering the suite where Yang Qing and Qin Huairu lived, Bang Geng's eyes were dazzled.

This palace is so nice.

He thus had even more objections to Yang Qing and Qin Huairu in his heart.

Yang Qing came out of the bedroom, saw the couple poking around, suppressed his discomfort, and coughed twice.

Qin Huairu was also embarrassed to the point of being utterly humiliating.

Hearing the cough, Bang Geng and Qiao Hui finally drew their attention back, feeling resentful, and approached Qin Huairu.

Yang Qing sat down by himself, then extended his hand and said lightly.

"Please have a seat."

At that moment, A Min stood behind Yang Qing to guard against any sudden developments.

Qin Huairu sat beside Yang Qing without saying much.

Seeing Yang Qing's stern expression, Bang Geng's unruliness inevitably subsided.

Moreover, he became cautious.

Qiao Hui was also cowed by Yang Qing's aura, forgetting all the bad things she had said about Qin Huairu and Yang Qing.

Yang Qing remained silent for a while, and Bang Geng and Qiao Hui, made nervous by this strange atmosphere, all broke into a sweat.

In the end, Bang Geng couldn't hold back and spoke thick‑skinned.

"Mom, we came today to hear your arrangements for us."

Qin Huairu said nothing, but Yang Qing coldly replied.

"You're both almost thirty—what arrangements do you still need?"

Bang Geng was dissatisfied.

"Then, He Yuzhu and Nan Yi—you've helped them, haven't you?"

"After all, I am your stepson, too."

"We can't be worse than a neighbor."

Yang Qing chuckled.

"He Yuzhu and Nan Yi are capable people who can earn money for me."

"What skills do you have?"

"Tell me what you can do, and I'll see what you're capable of."

Bang Geng reckoned in his mind.

"I am a first‑class fitter."

Yang Qing was speechless.

"I hear you've worked nearly ten years; as a first‑class worker, are you proud?"

Bang Geng also knew he was a bit embarrassing, because he never put his heart into it, just drifted through life—being a first‑class worker was already not bad.

He tried to salvage the situation.

"Isn't it just that I'm not good at it?"

"I also collect things."

Yang Qing gave a chuckle.

"Stuff, bring it over so I can take a look."

Bang Geng said softly, feeling guilty.

"I've sold them all."

Qin Huairu couldn't even bear to listen.

Her face turned completely red.

Yang Qing does not intend to let him go.

「How much money did you earn? 」

Bang Geng stretched out his hand.

「Fifty? No, it should be sixty. 」

Yang Qing continued the pursuit.

「Where is the money? 」

Bang Geng continued to make excuses.

「It's spent. 」

Yang Qing said in a cold tone.

「I remember, I gave you two siblings each five thousand foreign exchange. 」

「Foreign exchange is quite valuable now; converted to money, it's over ten thousand. 」

「Over ten thousand, and in just a few years you've spent it all? 」

Bang Geng, being repeatedly struck at vital points by Yang Qing, started to stammer.

「Aren't we in business? 」

「We lost... 」

Yang Qing snorted.

「What kind of business can lose this much money? 」

Bang Geng, under Yang Qing's relentless questioning, had lost all momentum, panicked, and began to spout nonsense.

「I set up a stall. 」

Yang Qing pressed aggressively.

「What kind of stall are you setting up, and what goods are you selling? 」

He imitated others by making small trinkets, using money for genuine goods to buy a pile of fake trinkets, which were worthless; the outcome was predictable.

Bang Geng stammered; such an embarrassing matter, he couldn't bring himself to say it, so he could only change the subject.

「I sold clothes. 」

Yang Qing, pa, slapped the table.

「You think I don't know? The clothes were given to you by Jia Ling; you didn't even give her the money for the clothes, you even screwed over your own sister—are you still human? Do you still have the face to bring this up? 」

「Bang Geng, you're not even my biological son; if you were, even a lackey, I'd have broken your legs. 」

「What nonsense. 」

Bang Geng was frightened by Yang Qing's fierce appearance; in short, these goods were just for local show, he had imported a bunch of fake goods, and he didn't dare to let out a single fart.

Yang Qing had no awareness of being a father; he looked at him like a dog, making him feel apprehensive.

Qiao Hui was also startled, but she knew that if she didn't seize the opportunity today, there would be none later.

She coquettishly shouted.

「Dad... Bang Geng later also worked as a foreman. 」

She also knew that Bang Geng's foreman was even more unimpressive, so she just brushed it aside.

「Besides, Dad, Mom, what is your status? 」

「As your children, we can't let you lose too much face, can we? 」

「Look, why not open a restaurant for Bang Geng? 」

「We guarantee we'll do it well. 」

That "Dad" was so coquettish and alluring that it almost made Yang Qing shudder.

He turned his head to glance at Qin Huairu, the daughter-in-law of the Jia family; do they all have this seductive talent, with innate skills to manipulate men?

That word, "Dad," made Yang Qing almost waver.

However, Yang Qing is a seasoned veteran; he doesn't fall for her tricks.

「You don't need to use words to provoke me. 」

「The money of the Yang family goes only to the right people; people like you, who are lazy and disrespectful, need not even dream of it. 」

Bang Geng, being pressed by Yang Qing, had his temper rise, and he opened his mouth wanting to retort Yang Qing.

Qiao Hui grabbed him and apologized.

「Dad, we were wrong; we can still reform. 」

「You can't just not care about us. 」

Yang Qing felt it was about enough and stopped pressing aggressively.

「Since you're willing to change, don't say I'm not giving you a chance. 」

「First, hurry up and have children; you're already this old and still childless—that's a great unfilial act. 」

「Second, bring over Jia Zhangshi; she is your grandmother, yet you completely neglect her. 」

「When the people around you change their opinion of you, and no one secretly scolds you for being unfilial, then we can talk again. 」

「With you as you are now, if I were to help you, I'd fear being struck by lightning. 」

Upon hearing that he should take in Jia Zhangshi, Bang Geng was full of reluctance; you don't know how dirty the old woman is—serving her isn't that just asking for trouble?

Qiao Hui, however, once again pulled him and agreed.

「Fine, we originally wanted children; grandmother, we also wanted to take her in, but she was unwilling to live with us. 」

「We'll take care of it when we go back. 」

Yang Qing laughed.

「Fine, as long as you can do it, I won't mistreat my own stepson. 」

I'll quietly await your good news.

Qiao Hui still wanted some money; A Min had already stood beside her, making a pleading gesture.

Qiao Hui had no choice but to pull Bang Geng away.
