Chapter 200 Teaching Qin Huairu a Lesson

"How do you want me to help you? Help you plead with Xu Youliang and ask him to show leniency to you, forgive you this time, and never do it again?"

Wang Jianye's question hit the mark of Qin Huairu's thoughts. She nodded repeatedly and asked expectantly, "Is it ok, Brother Wang?"

"Huh, what do you think?"

Hearing the tone of Wang Jianye's words, Qin Huairu felt a little sad. She knew that he was unwilling, but Qin Huairu was unwilling to give up, because at this time only Wang Jianye, the head chef of Fengze Garden, could help her, and no one else could.

"Brother Wang, I beg you, can you help me?"

Qin Huairu pleaded and cried.

It would be difficult for ordinary people to remain as strong as iron when they see this girl, oh no, it’s a young woman, crying so pitifully.

But Wang Jianye would not be soft-hearted, nor would he be moved by Qin Huairu's acting. "Given my importance in Fengze Garden, if I ask Xu Youliang to forgive you, he will definitely agree. But... why should I help you? Just because you beg me pitifully now? I will use my connections to help you? Do you think this deal is worth it for me?"

Qin Huairu was speechless and her tears flowed even harder. Her slightly mature face was stained with tears like a big tabby cat.

Wang Jianye continued eating peanuts and ignored her. Just cry. She was an adult but still so childish. What was she thinking about getting an outsider like him to do her such a laborious favor just by crying?

Seeing that Wang Jianye had no intention of comforting her, Qin Huairu knew that it was useless to beg him any more, so she could only eat the delicious spicy and sour potato shreds in the lunch box in silence, crying. After eating, Qin Huairu took the lunch box and chopsticks, went out of the house and washed them under the faucet in the yard.

When she came back, Qin Huairu closed the door and then walked over to sit next to Wang Jianye.

"Still not leaving?"

Wang Jianye asked Qin Huairu, who was silent beside him, while eating peanuts.

"Let's go." Qin Huairu uttered a word.

"No delivery."

Wang Jianye said casually.

Qin Huairu looked at him, the tears on her face had dried, but her voice was still a little hoarse, "Then, when our Fengze Garden pays wages, can you lend me some money? Otherwise, I won't be able to report back."

"I can lend it to you, but according to what you said, I have to hand over every month's salary in full. How are you going to pay me back then?" Wang Jianye asked.

"I……"

Qin Huairu didn't think of any way to pay back the money. "I don't know yet, but don't worry, Brother Wang. I will definitely pay you back when I have money in the future. I can swear on the lamp and promise you."

Seeing Qin Huairu's serious look, Wang Jianye suddenly smiled, "It's already come to the point of swearing, why are you useless? You are threatening me by disclosing my identity and income as the head cook that I asked you to keep secret in the hospital? I have asked you to keep it secret for me many times. You should know that I don't want people in the hospital to know how much my income is. I care about this very much."

"But if that happens, people in our courtyard will definitely be jealous of you. Someone might even come to your family to borrow money, disturbing your peace. They might even do something bad to your family... I don't want you, Brother Wang, to suffer such troubles, so no matter what, I will not tell others or publicize your affairs in the courtyard." Qin Huairu said seriously.

Wang Jianye couldn't help but ask, "Why would you go to such lengths to get me to explain your story? It's very easy to threaten me with this and get me to help you solve your cheating problem, but you didn't want to do it. Instead, you chose to beg me and please me in a humble way."

"..."

Qin Huairu hesitated to speak, lowered her head and said nothing.

Wang Jianye did not ask any more questions, but took out a dollar from his pocket and said, "Take it. Consider it as you keeping it a secret for me. You don't have to pay me back for the benefits I gave you. Remember, if you eat secretly in Fengze Garden again next time, I will not pay for you anymore. Go away, leave me alone."

Wang Jianye pointed at the door. His attitude was like that of a domineering CEO, saying, "Woman, take the money and get out."

"But Brother Wang, this one dollar is not enough... I need one dollar and thirty cents in total to pay for the three days' wages I was fined for, plus the money to buy this spicy and sour potato shreds."

Qin Huairu couldn't help but speak when she saw Wang Jianye take out a dime and put it on the table.

"Oh……"

Wang Jianye calmly took out another three cents from his pocket and tried to hide his embarrassment by eating peanuts.

Qin Huairu carefully put away the money Wang Jianye gave her, and then put the lunch box she had just washed on the table into her bag.

"Brother Wang, then I'm leaving?"

Qin Huairu said reluctantly.

"You should have left a long time ago." Wang Jianye was tired. You have been here for a chapter and a half. If you don't leave, the readers will be annoyed and say that I have wasted words.

"Oh."

Qin Huairu stood up and walked towards the door.

Just as her hand touched the door and was about to open, she suddenly turned around. She made up her mind and would not be happy if she didn't say it out loud. "Brother Wang, can you... can you ride your bike to take me there?"

"No." Wang Jianye refused decisively.

"I'll give you this one dollar and thirty cents. Just treat it as my payment for you to ride your bike to take me back, okay?"

Qin Huairu took out the one dollar and thirty cents that Wang Jianye had given her from her pocket and asked expectantly.

Wang Jianye was puzzled. "Just now, you cried for a long time to ask me for help, but I didn't move your hand. In the end, I gave you this one dollar and thirty cents, but you didn't cherish it. Why did you spend all the money and insisted that I give it to you? Aren't you afraid that when the salary is paid later, you won't be able to take out the three days' salary that was deducted, and Jia Dongxu will see that you gave him less money, so he will beat you and scold you?"

"it does not matter."

Qin Huairu shook her head vigorously and said, "I'm not afraid. At worst, I can just say that Fengze Garden's business is not good and everyone's salary has been reduced."

"Do you think you can fool Jia Dongxu with this?"

Now, because of the legendary level of spicy and sour potato shreds made by Wang Jianye, Fengzeyuan is packed today. This matter can be known by just asking around. It cannot be concealed at all, unless Jia Dongxu is a fool and he really believes it.

"Then I'll just take it. He hits me, scolds me, and despises me. I'll just bear it. It's not like I haven't encountered this before in the two months since I married him." Qin Huairu acted as if it was a big deal. As she said this, she rubbed her left arm.

Seeing that Qin Huairu had said so much, Wang Jianye had no choice but to say, "Okay, give me the money."

"Thank you, Brother Wang."

Qin Huairu smiled sincerely and handed over the one dollar and thirty cents in her hand.

After Wang Jianye received the money, he smiled and said, "Wait for me at the gate of the compound first. I'll go to the Intermediate Court to call Chen Xiaoyang, give him the money, and let him ride his bike to take you back to Nanluoguxiang. Don't worry, he knows the way, and his riding skills are better than mine. I'm very stable when I sit, and I guarantee that I can take you home safely. You're in luck this time."

"..."

ps: There are two subsequent routes. One is that the protagonist rides a bike to send Qin Huairu home, and Qin Huairu takes the opportunity to confess her love. The other is that the protagonist does not give her this opportunity. Which one do you want to see?
