While every city has a bright side, it also has a dark side. Qin Hao has seen many of them. International cities such as London, New York, and Paris all have slums. Even the gathering places for the rich are known as slums. Dubai, which is full of gold, also has beggars.
Song Yao's home is located in the urban village of Tianhai City. Compared with this city, which is known as the Magic City and is the largest economic metropolis in China, it seems very out of place. It was a dirty, crowded, short and dilapidated building. Qin Hao estimated that it was a building from the 1960s and 1970s. The outer shell and walls were mottled and even full of cracks, making people wonder if a slight earthquake could collapse it.
The only good thing about this place is that it is full of urban atmosphere. Compared with today's big cities where neighbors may live next door for several years without even recognizing each other's family members, this place seems more humane.
"Isn't this Yaoyao? Come back to see you, Mom? Aren't you busy at work recently?" Passing by the canteen downstairs, a fat middle-aged woman waved hello to Song Yao in a loud voice.
Song Yao smiled and said, "Yes, Aunt Wang, I haven't seen you for a month and you are a little younger. At first glance, those who didn't know would have thought you were about the same age as me."
"Little girl, you are the only one with a sweet mouth." Aunt Wang smiled from ear to ear, the flesh on her face squeezed together, feeling inexplicably happy, "Don't worry, you~ Mom, I usually help take care of her, she will be there at noon I bought noodles here. By the way, I just made some dumplings for dinner. You can take them back to Shi Shi to eat. To be honest, your mom is good at everything, but you are so frugal that you can’t even buy them once a week. Meat, every time Little Shitou passes by the door, he has a pale face and not much meat on his body, and I feel heartbroken when I look at him."
With that said, Aunt Wang went into the back room to get dumplings for Song Yao.
Song Yao took advantage of this time to introduce to Qin Hao: "Aunt Wang is a good person. Because of Cui Jianguo, I didn't dare to go home before. I could only pay some living expenses to my family every month. Aunt Wang usually helps take care of my mother and younger brother. , If it weren’t for Aunt Wang’s help, Cui Jianguo might have tortured my mother and brother even more.”
"Don't worry. Cui Jianguo will not dare to harass you again because of the lesson learned last time. If he dares to come again, just inform me and I will make him disappear completely!" Qin Hao comforted softly and fed Song Yao a pill. Reassurance.
Song Yao nodded: "My mother called me before. Since the last time, there has been no news about him. He may even be dead."
While the two were talking, Aunt Wang came out of the back room, holding a large basin in her hand. Qin Hao hurriedly stepped forward to take it.
Only then did Aunt Wang notice that there was such a man following Song Yao. She looked her up and down and said in surprise: "Girl, is this handsome guy your man? Don't try to lie to me. This is the first time you have brought a man back home." Home, if you say it doesn’t matter, I won’t believe it even if you beat me to death.”
Song Yao looked a little shy and said coquettishly: "How could I lie to you? I didn't want to deny it at all. He..."
Before Song Yao could finish speaking, Qin Hao took the initiative to take a step forward, took out one of the large and small bags in his hand, handed it over, and introduced himself: "Hello, Aunt Wang, my name is Qin Hao, and I am Yaoyao's boyfriend." Friend. I heard from Yaoyao that you often take care of them, so I thank you for your trouble. This little thing is disrespectful, so I hope you will accept it."
"You don't have to be so polite. Whatever the young man said, we all belong to the next door neighbors. It's just a little effort to help out and look after you..." Aunt Wang waved her hands repeatedly with a smile on her face. Qin Hao could see that what the other party said was very interesting. It comes from the heart.
Qin Hao's character has always been that if you respect me a foot, I will respect you a foot. One thing to say is that Aunt Wang is very good to Song Yao and her family. He must express it. Giving money is really too tacky. People are not here for money. Talking about money hurts feelings, so it is better to give some gifts.
"You must accept it. This is not something expensive, just some ordinary health care products. If you don't accept it, how can we have the nerve to trouble you in the future?"
They were said to be ordinary health care products, but how could Qin Hao be ordinary when he first arrived at his mother-in-law's house? Each package cost at least several thousand yuan, for fear of leaving a stingy or bad impression on his mother-in-law.
This Aunt Wang seemed to be a cheerful person. Seeing that Qin Hao insisted on doing this, she stopped refusing and accepted it with a smile on her face. Her words of praise seemed to be free of charge. Song Yao even blushed and exchanged a few words. He took Qin Hao into the building as if he was running away.
Standing in the corridor that had been in disrepair and had no light bulbs, Qin Hao looked at the surrounding environment and said: "Yao Yao, buy a new house for your mother. Buy a house with a beautiful and quiet surroundings, and then give it to you." ~Mom, hire a nanny to take care of you. This will help you~Mom recover from illness. Moreover, the property and security of the community will be better, the transportation will be more convenient, and it will be convenient for your brother to go to school, so we can rest assured."
After hearing this, Song Yao felt warm in her heart, and looked at Qin Hao with bright eyes: "I do have this plan, but because of Cui Jianguo, my salary and bonus were basically spent on him, and I haven't spent any money on him in these years. Save a penny. Although a house like that is good, it is still too expensive to buy. I will first consider renting a house in a better place and hire a nanny for my mother."
With the price of land in Tianhai, a house in a better community has already been sold for nearly 100,000 yuan per square meter, and a 100-square-meter house costs nearly 10 million yuan. Song Yao, who can't even afford an ordinary car, can't afford it. How can one afford a house
Even if she earns one million a year, it will take her several years to save. However, Mu Qianxue just gave her the dividend rights of less than 1% of the shares a while ago, which is enough for one year. However, how could Qin Hao make her wait
"It doesn't matter if it's expensive. It's just money. It doesn't matter how big it is. Then, when we get back, we'll go look at the house and I'll have someone choose a good location for you."
Song Yao hesitated for a moment and said nothing. Qin Hao just thought she agreed.
The two of them arrived outside a house upstairs. Song Yao took out the key and opened the door. After entering the house, she shouted inside: "Mom, I'm back."
Qin Hao put the large and small packages of gifts on the table and took the opportunity to look at the environment of the house. The house was not big, only about fifty square meters, with two bedrooms, one living room, one kitchen and one bathroom. The so-called living room could basically be ignored. Putting a dining table will basically occupy nearly half of the space.
There was no decoration, and the white walls were already gray. Qin Hao suspected that powder would fall off if he touched it, and the floor was just cement.
As for the sofa, coffee table, washing machine and other furniture, there is no trace at all. The only electrical appliance is probably an old-fashioned TV set made decades ago in front of the dining table.
Seeing this, Qin Hao's idea of buying a house for Song Yao's family became more determined. It's not like he didn't have money. As a man, how could he still suffer for his own woman
Presuming that she heard Song Yao's voice, a woman wearing an apron and holding a spatula laboriously walked out of the kitchen.
As a Chinese medicine doctor, Qin Hao could naturally see how weak the woman's physical condition was. Her face was sallow and without any blood. On her thin cheeks, the two cheekbones protruded like two hills.
Although it was December and the weather was relatively cold, the woman was obviously wearing a lot more clothes than ordinary people, and she barely had a quilt to wrap around her body.
"Nizi, you're back. Mom is cooking. They are all your favorite dishes. Please wait a moment. This should be Qin's son-in-law. Yaoyao has mentioned you to me many times on the phone. You look really good. It looks good. Sit down for a while. The place at home is too small. Don't be surprised. When Yaoyao's brother comes back in a while, we can start dinner... Cough cough cough..." Wu Cuifen forced a smile, and then coughed.
