In Huangsha City, the rich and middle class live in the east, west and south of the city, while the bottom of the city lives in the north. There is a mix of people from all walks of life, including those from the middle class who have a small fortune.
When people mention the north of the city, they all have contempt in their eyes. No real rich man will come to settle in the north of the city.
When three fairly impressive carriages stopped at the entrance of a dilapidated courtyard, the people around were alarmed. Many people were in their own yards, looking carefully at the muddy, potholed streets.
On both sides, there were some people standing far away, with envy in their eyes.
Qin Li jumped off the carriage and looked at the small courtyard in front of him, which was not even as good as the place where he lived before, but a relaxed smile appeared on his face. A gold and silver nest is not as good as his own straw nest. From today on, Qin Li is considered a
He just stepped out of the Qin family. After meeting the young lady from the Shangguan family, Qin Li didn't pay much attention to whether it was successful or not.
When a person is down and out, he has no face or dignity, and all he has is a pitiful self-esteem. Only when he becomes stronger and possesses strength that no one dares to underestimate, will he truly be valuable.
Face and dignity!
Qin Hanyue and Qin Xue were shocked by the poverty scene in front of them, but they only hesitated for a moment, then got out of the car and moved things into the small courtyard with Qin Li.
There are only three houses in this small courtyard, two in the east and west, and the kitchen in the middle. The house is built half with blue bricks and half with adobe. The green tiles on the roof look very old. Some places are dilapidated and dilapidated.
It needs to be repaired.
This house was settled by Qin Li. According to Qin Hanyue's wish, he wanted to buy a courtyard in the south of the city. Although it was not a wealthy area, the conditions there were much better than here.
But in Qin Li's opinion, it is better to live here than to live there. Don't look at the wealthy people who frown when they mention the north of the city. That's because they don't understand the situation!
Every time more dogs are slaughtered for the sake of righteousness, there are many who are unkind for the sake of wealth. I have rarely seen many who are righteous and generous. Besides, living here is the most inconspicuous. The former owner of this small courtyard made a small fortune and went to live in the south of the city.
Qin Li bought it for just a few dollars. After some repairs, it would be ready for living. Qin Li had not thought about how long he would live here. For him, living here was just a transition.
A few brave little boys stood timidly not far away, watching the people here carrying things from the carriage. Qin Li waved to the little boys and said, "How about you come over and help me?"
"Why should I help you?" A dirty boy about the same age as Qin Li looked at Qin Li warily and said.
"Haha, we will be neighbors from now on, shouldn't we help each other?" Qin Xue looked at the boy and said with a smile.
The beautiful girl of eighteen or nineteen years old was simply perfect in the eyes of the little boy who was just beginning to fall in love and was full of fantasy. The boy blushed slightly, then looked at Qin Li and said: "I'm not helping you, I'm helping you."
This sister!"
As he spoke, he waved behind him: "Goudan, Shitou, Little Catfish, and you guys, don't just watch the fun, come here and help!"
Before the boy could finish his words, seven or eight children came out from nowhere and ran over like a swarm, helping to move things down with their hands and feet extremely quickly.
Qin Xue glanced at Qin Li with some pride, and Qin Li rolled his eyes in return, shrugged, and said to himself that these little brats were really precocious, completely forgetting that he was only thirteen years old this year.
During the conversation, I learned that the little boy in the lead was named Xigua. It is said that his father was a watermelon seller, so he gave his son such a name.
Despite his young age, Xigua is the king of children in dozens of streets around him. He can fight and is loyal, and the children all admire him.
Seeing Xigua's triumphant expression, Qin Li smiled slightly in his heart. Before he met his master, he was not much different from this Xigua. I believe that when Xigua grows up, he may also follow the same path as he did back then.
"Hey, where did you move from?"
Xigua looked at Qin Li with a somewhat hostile look and asked. He always felt that this young man who was dressed in noble clothes and about the same age as himself would be his most threatening challenger in these streets in the future. Moreover, he and this beautiful sister
He looks very familiar, which makes people feel uncomfortable just looking at him.
"Why should I tell you?" Qin Li glanced at the watermelon and bared his teeth with a smile.
"I helped you work!" Xigua's answer was also very hasty.
Qin Li became more and more interested in this courageous boy, pointed at Qin Xue and said with a smile: "You just said that you were helping this sister, not me."
Qin Xue couldn't help but smile. Xigua, who was about to get angry, was startled slightly, and then blushed. At this time, all the things on the carriages had been moved. Xigua glanced at Qin Li bitterly and said, "Boy,
You are not loyal and you are not a good person at first sight!"
As he spoke, he ran away with a group of boy scouts and threw a sentence in the air: "Sister, you are a good person! If anyone dares to bully you in the future, just give me the name of Watermelon!"
Qin Xue couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle. At this moment, she seemed to suddenly understand why Qin Li chose this place. Compared with the exquisite garden, high door walls and deep courtyard of the Qin family, this place seemed more humane! Originally, it was still more humane.
The idea of using private money to give to my wife to buy a better house was completely abandoned at this moment.
"Mom, don't worry, I promise you that living here is only temporary! It won't take long before I can take you out of here!" Qin Li looked at Qin Hanyue and said slowly.
Qin Hanyue looked at her precious son with a look of relief, and said softly: "It's very good here. Mom likes it here very much!"
Qin Hanyue's words were full of emotion. Yes, although this place was poor, no one would look at them in a strange way, and no rumors would reach their ears.
At this time, the sound of horse hooves suddenly came from outside. Four knights in costume stopped at the entrance of the small courtyard. One of them asked: "Is this the home of Mr. Qin?"
Qin Li looked at Qin Hanyue and said, "Mom, someone from Shangguan's family should be here. I'll be right back!"
Qin Hanyue looked at her son who was a little dirty from moving things, reached out to pat the dust off, and said, "Shall we change clothes before we go?"
Qin Li shook his head slightly, patted his mother's hand gently, turned around and went out: "I am Qin Li."
Immediately after hearing this, several knights dismounted and saluted Qin Li. The man who spoke just now said: "Master Qin, on the order of the master of the official family, we are here to invite you to meet the lady. The carriage is waiting at the entrance of the alley."
"Okay, let's go!" Qin Li deliberately reached out and patted the dust on his body. Seeing that these knights didn't show any strange expressions in their eyes, he sighed in his heart: The Qin family is indeed not a little worse than the Shangguan family!
