678 Expensive Rent

Interesting.

He Ning and Huo Gao looked at each other. He Ning nodded slightly as an indication to agree with Wang Qin’s proposal.

“Then lead the way. We’ll have to trouble you tonight,” Huo Gao said politely.

Wang Qin did not lead the way immediately. She reached out her hand and said, “Um… as for the rent…”

He Ning casually took out 100 dollars from his pocket and said, “Is it enough?”

Wang Qin’s eyes widened as she stared fixedly at the money in He Ning’s hand. Her gaze followed the money wherever it went, as if it was her lifeblood.

“No problem! No problem! I’ll bring you to my house now!” Wang Qin snatched the money from He Ning, and even took Huo Gao’s heavy bag.

Wang Qin struggled to carry the bag on her back and said happily, “Come, come, come! I have gotten everything ready at home! I’m just waiting for you to come! I’ve just sunned the blanket and patted the pillows many times. I’ve also tidied up the main room so that you can stay there by yourselves!”

Wang Qin’s family was not very big. Other than her and Qiao Fu, there were only two children. The elder son was 17 years old and the younger daughter was not even 10 years old. The four of them could make do and squeeze into the small room together.

It was such a good deal to be able to earn 100 dollars a day! Wang Qin had to work hard in the village for a year to get a salary of 100 dollars. Taking He Ning in for a day was equivalent to her working for the entire year!

Huo Gao looked at Wang Qin in shock. Her small body was quite strong. The bag was filled to the brim. Even when he carried it, his shoulder hurt after a while.

Could this be the power of money?

The charm of 100 dollars was so great that it could make a skinny woman carry such a heavy bag easily.

“Is it 100 dollars a day or…” Wang Qin asked hesitantly.

He Ning said disdainfully, “If you take care of everything for us, then it can be 100 dollars a day.”

Wang Qin looked like a gossipy woman, so it would definitely be very troublesome to bargain with her. For He Ning, 100 dollars was nothing. He would not even mind if he lost that amount of money. Besides, he and Huo Gao were two people, so 50 dollars each was not considered too expensive.

“Oh, that’s great! Come, come, come, we’ll be there in two more steps! Don’t be anxious!” Wang Qin said happily.

After Qiao Mei settled Li Gui down, she returned to her own house. Qiao Qiang was also suspicious to see two big boxes suddenly appear in the house. He knew what was inside as he had already opened them to take a look. They were all things that he liked. It seemed that these people had come prepared.

When Qiao Qiang saw Qiao Mei return, he said, “Has everything been settled? You haven’t had a good rest at home for these past few days. You might as well stay in the capital and not come back!”

Qiao Mei did not find it tiring at all. In the capital, she was all alone. Although Xia Fang and Xia He treated her very well, she still did not feel as comfortable as being by her grandfather’s side.

“I just miss grandfather. Did you open it? These are all gifts from He Ning,” Qiao Mei said.

“Yes, I did. Ask him to take them all back tomorrow. We don’t want this little bastard’s things! He must be the one who harmed you and your babies.” Qiao Qiang’s eyes revealed a trace of murderous intent.

Qiao Qiang did not remember who Qiao Mei had talked about previously, but now that he recalled it carefully, he could remember some details. He had even met He Ning before. At that time, He Ning was only in his teens. Old Man He was more savvy than Qiao Qiang. Otherwise, he would not have left the army to go into business.

He Ning’s father was also a good man and had inherited Old Man He’s assets. When it reached He Ning’s generation, the family started to decline. None of his older brothers could take on the burden of the He family. At that time, He Ning was still young and in poor health. Qiao Qiang had thought that he would not live past the age of 20.

He did not expect the boy to still be alive and even harmed his granddaughter and great-grandchildren. He would definitely ask He Ning for an explanation for this.

“He has a favor to ask of us. It would be a waste not to take all these good things. If you don’t want them, I’ll give them all to Zhang Chao. That child likes stuff like this the most,” Qiao Mei said as she pointed at the things He Ning had sent over.

At the mention of Zhang Chao, Qiao Qiang also looked a little proud. If Zhang Chao had a little bit of Zhang Wei’s lively personality, then Zhang Chao would be exactly the same as Qiao Qiang when he was young. If this child studied these machines carefully, he would definitely have great achievements in the future.

“The He family is asking a favor of us? What do we have that is worth it for them to come all the way here,” Qiao Qiang said.
