And now she's donating so much money, completely disregarding her own feelings as her younger sister.
He Yushui's only hope at this moment is that after the conference ends, she can find her brother and ask him to get the money he donated back for her.
Otherwise, she'll go hungry again next week.
With Uncle San and Sha Zhu taking the lead, everyone stepped forward and generously donated money.
Qin Huairu thanked them one by one, giving them a penny here and five cents there.
Even Xu Damao donated two yuan, but his eyes were constantly darting around, staring at Qin Huairu.
It's obvious that this guy is plotting some bad idea again.
Lou Xiao'e was so oblivious that she didn't realize anything. Instead, she praised Xu Damao for showing a rare conscience and becoming generous.
Su Ting watched Lou Xiao'e, who seemed so clueless, and couldn't help but feel a little sorry for her, thinking about her tragic future.
If we're talking about the only person in this courtyard who doesn't harbor any ill intentions, then it has to be Lou Xiao'e.
From beginning to end, she never harmed anyone.
It seems I'll have to lend her a hand then, as a way of repaying her for cooking with the pot!
After everyone had donated, Su Ting took out three yuan and put it in, then explained to everyone.
"In fact, I should have donated more."
But I just finished renovating the house, and I've already used the remaining money to buy groceries for tomorrow.
"These three gentlemen can all testify to this for me."
“That’s right, that’s right, we can vouch for you.”
The three old men immediately confirmed that Su Ting was indeed penniless.
Seeing the three elderly men come out to testify, Su Ting continued.
"So I can only do my best to donate three yuan. I hope everyone won't think I, Su Ting, am too stingy!"
"No, we all know what kind of person you are!"
"That's right, that's right, donating three yuan is already very generous!"
Hearing everyone's praise, Su Ting sat back down on the stool under Qin Huairu's disappointed gaze.
This time, however, he moved his stool further away, away from Qin Huairu's seat.
He believed that Qin Huairu would definitely be able to sense his feelings.
To avoid her getting too excited and wanting to thank him, Su Ting decided to wait until she calmed down before speaking.
With the donation drive concluded, the plenary session also came to a successful end.
Everyone picked up their own chairs and prepared to go home, discussing all the delicious food that would be on the table for lunch the next day.
Su Ting quickly carried his own stool and hurried home.
Qin Huairu was both angry and heartbroken to see him like this.
I gave him five yuan, but he still deducted two yuan from my pay.
Right now, all she wanted was to end her conversation with the three old men as soon as possible and then go and confront Su Ting.
Su Ting had originally carried two stools, intending to close the door as soon as he got home.
Before Qin Huairu arrived, everyone else swarmed over to see who was there.
Xu Damao, Lou Xiao'e, Yan Jiecheng, Yu Li, He Yushui, and Sha Zhu—basically all the main characters among the young people are here.
They hadn't had a chance to visit Su Ting's new house before, so after holding a big meeting in the front yard, they decided to come and take a look.
Su Ting politely welcomed everyone into the house.
"Oh, Su Ting, your house is so beautifully decorated!"
"Look, there's even a big mirror here!"
Lou Xiao'e and Yu Li looked around excitedly, while the men were arranged by Su Ting to drink tea on the sofa.
"Hey, how could you let a dung beetle into your house?"
"What did you say? Xu Damao, I think you're asking for a beating!"
Upon hearing the commotion, Su Ting knew that Xu Damao and Sha Zhu were arguing, so he quickly stepped forward and pulled the two of them away.
"My two elder brothers, you are both my own brothers."
My new house has just been renovated, you can't just smash it up because you don't like it!
For your brother's sake, let's not argue at his house, okay?
Xu Damao and Shazhu sat down after hearing what Su Ting said.
"Shazhu, I'll let it slide today for my brother's sake. We'll have a proper talk once we get out of here!"
Sha Zhu responded to Xu Damao's words without any concern.
"With your mediocre skills, you really think you're something special."
I'm at my brother's house today, so I won't stoop to your level.
Seeing that the two had finally quieted down, Su Ting breathed a sigh of relief.
At this moment, several women greeted Su Ting and then ran upstairs, as they hadn't yet explored the upper floors!
Yan Jiecheng said with a hint of envy, "Su Ting, you're really capable; you even have a refrigerator at home."
My wife and I are still living in the back house! The difference between people is truly incomparable.
"Oh dear, how can you say that? We're all the same, I'm just a bit luckier."
"I understand, your good luck just hasn't arrived yet. I believe it will come soon."
“Emotional value from Yan Jiecheng +5” Su Ting casually said these nice words, and sure enough, the emotional value immediately increased by five points.
Just as everyone was chatting, Qin Huairu stormed in from outside, furious.
Seeing so many people in the living room, and hearing women shouting from upstairs from time to time.
Qin Huairu was taken aback, which made her unable to bring herself to confront Su Ting, so she could only greet everyone first.
"You're all here! What's going on here? Why did you all come?"
"Look at what you're saying, if you can come, why can't we?"
When Xu Damao saw Qin Huairu, he was still somewhat angry, so he spoke much more casually.
"If you can't speak properly, then say less. Sister Qin, come and sit down, this sofa is very comfortable."
Isn't this Su Ting's newly renovated house? We've never had a chance to come and see it.
The meeting had just finished, so everyone came over to check it out. Yu Shui and Yu Li were upstairs!
"Alright, since all the seats upstairs are for men, I won't sit here. I'll go upstairs and take a look."
"You two continue your conversation. Young Master Su Ting, would you mind if I went upstairs for a look around?"
Su Ting wasn't angry when Qin Huairu called him "little brother".
He knew she wanted revenge on him! Say whatever you want!
At worst, I'll use a stick to teach you a lesson about what it means to have trouble with your words.
After taking a shower, Su Ting had already put the water heater from the upstairs bathroom into his space.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have let the ladies go upstairs.
"Yes, yes, my sister Qin is no outsider, please go up!"
With this, I think almost all of our generation of young people have arrived.
Why don't we have dinner at my place tonight? Let Brother Zhu show off his skills, and we young people can have a good drink together.
Dear brothers and sisters, are you free tonight?
After hearing what Su Ting said, everyone readily agreed.
"Of course I'm free! How could I not have time for something like this!"
"Little brother, you're so generous. I have to have a few drinks with you tonight. My brother Da Mao has some wine at home, I'll go get it right now."
"Alright! Since you've put it that way, little brother, I can't let you down, can I?"
"Dinner tonight is on my brother Zhu's shoulders. I still have some wine! I'll go get it right now."
Seeing that everyone readily agreed and were preparing to go home to get the wine, Su Ting quickly stepped forward to stop them.
"Please wait a moment, everyone. We made this arrangement beforehand."
Tonight, only the younger generation is gathering to drink; the elders and children are not allowed to join.
If there are elderly people or children around, we definitely won't have as much fun.
So you'd better go home and let me know first, otherwise when you come back later, I'll lock you inside.
You're not allowed to go home until you've had your fill of drinking! There's a bathroom in my room, so don't even think about sneaking out to use the toilet!
