Chapter 4
Wang Qiqi originally wanted to go to her own room to get the money, but then she thought about it and immediately went to her parents' room. She knew that her parents usually kept a few thousand yuan in cash at home as spare change. When she arrived at her parents' room, she quickly wrote down the address that Auntie had just told her on the calendar, and then found the money from the usual place. As for the other place with over 100,000 yuan in savings deposit slips - one 50,000-yuan slip and five 10,000-yuan slips - Wang Qiqi didn't know about those. The money was still in its usual place, and it wouldn't be a problem to leave it there. She figured that her parents wouldn't have the nerve to take the money now. After putting everything back in its original place, Wang Qiqi left the room and handed the money over to them. "Thanks so much for today."
That couple did not expect that the young girl actually gave 500 to each person. Honestly, they thought it would be good if they could give 700 or 800 in the end. "Who has a clean towel? I'll help wipe off the bloodstains."
Wang Dagu and his wife walked in a step late, of course they didn't have the intention to help after entering, but instead looked left and right with greed in their eyes that was not disguised at all. However, when they heard Wang Qiqi's voice, "Niece, this matter with your uncle and aunt is so sudden, our family wasn't even prepared." Wang Dagu asked with concern the question he was interested in. Wang Qiqi closed her eyes, "Dad, I'm telling you the truth, as soon as you left, my uncle and his wife came to calculate the money of this orphaned girl, they even want to take the money from a dead person."
Soon, Wang QiQi opened her eyes again, wiping away tears as she said, "Uncle, I'm still just a kid, how would I know all this? Why don't you help take care of things after I'm gone?" This little bit of money, we'd still be willing to let you have it.
Wang Daguai knew that his niece would let him handle this matter, but after all, he hadn't gotten a clear answer from her before. Now, however, the opportunity to make a fortune had finally arrived.
Wang Qiqi quickly looked up at her uncle's excited expression, "Uncle, I heard from my dad that there is a dragon service outside, so you don't have to bother running around buying things. Just hand it over to them and let them come to the door for a quote comparison." Wang Qiqi allowed Wang Dagu to spend this money, but she didn't want to spend too much either. "The money my parents left me, I need to save some of it. I still have to go to college, and I don't want to spend all the money now or my future life will be a problem. Although Uncle and Aunt said they are willing to take care of me, I'm also embarrassed. And just now, I took a look at the money my parents left me, over 100,000 yuan is enough for me to live until college graduation."
Wang Dagu really wanted to rush up and give his niece two slaps, how did his brother and sister-in-law raise such a fool? In front of so many neighbors, she said how much money her brother and sister-in-law left for her. If that's the case, then how can he say that they want to support their brother's orphaned children outside? What's even more infuriating is that this girl was talking about being frugal, but when she spent that one thousand before, why didn't she think of being frugal then?
Li Cu also stared blankly, how was it different from what she and her husband had discussed on the road earlier? Shouting a dragon is convenient, but the problem is that when several families compare prices, how much profit can their own family make.
"Actually, uncle, it's going to be hot today, I just want to rent an ice coffin for my parents to stay in, as for what happens next, that depends on how things are resolved." Wang Qiqi could see that her uncle was not pleased, "I'm just worried that you'll get tired, forget it, let's just rent two ice coffins for now."
Wang Daguai thought for a moment, "This matter can't be solved in one day. Brother and sister-in-law will definitely lie in the ice coffin. Even if we get a rebate of 20 yuan per day, it's still 600 yuan per month. Let's get this money first."
Wang Qiqi saw her uncle was about to leave and the neighbors outside were showing signs of dispersing, so she immediately shouted, "Uncle and aunt, can you stay here with me for a while?" In front of so many people, if you say you're not willing to move in now, I don't think you'll have the face to ask to move in again to take care of us after mom and dad's matter is settled.
Li Cui directly spoke out, "Xiao Qian, although we said we would take care of you, but you also know that there are many things at home. Auntie is moving in, what about Xiaorui?" Joking aside, if I were to live here, with two coffins in the living room, wouldn't it be scary? Not to mention when this matter will be resolved, what if it takes a year or half a year? Wouldn't we have to face these two coffins every day? We came here to make a fortune, not to suffer.
Wang Dagu thought his niece was just scared, but he didn't know that she had actually set a trap for him at this moment. Wang Dagu felt that even if his wife Li Cui disagreed, he himself wouldn't want to bring the couple back home, it's too terrifying, and by doing so, wouldn't he have to guard them day and night?
"Let Xiaohui come and live with us." Wang Qiqi stepped forward, humph, your excuses, we can all resolve them one by one, it's just that I don't want to give you another excuse to move in later. "Just now, Uncle and Aunt were by Mom and Dad's side, and they said they would take good care of me."
Li Cuixi thought she would let her daughter move in, but this place is too gloomy. She didn't expect that this dead girl would bring up what she said just an hour ago so quickly. "Qiqi, you're a big kid now, Xiaorui is still a little kid..."
Wang Qiqi made a sudden realization, "So in Aunt's eyes, I'm already a big kid who can take care of myself, while Xiaorui is still a child who needs Aunt to take care of her, right?"
Wang Dagui and Li Cui both felt that there was a problem here, but the problem was that they knew their niece's question was problematic, and they were also unwilling to move in.
Wang Daguai's mouth moved, he actually wanted to say they could move in, but remembered that he had to go to work during the day. If they moved here, wouldn't he have to stay up all night? Moreover, that little girl just wanted to say she was already an adult, "Right, Qiqi is already an adult and can take care of herself."
Wang Qiqi was delighted to hear her uncle's words, "Hmmm, Qiqi is a grown-up now, she can take good care of herself, don't worry, Qiqi will stay by her parents' side and tell them about the care you and auntie have given me." Wang Qiqi especially emphasized the two words "take care".
Wang Dagu and Li Cui did not catch the emphasis in Wang Qiqi's words, but the neighbors of the Wang family looked at them with disdain. In their minds, Wang Qiqi was a shy and kind girl, and it didn't seem like she would say such things because her parents had passed away. It seemed that Wang Dagu and his wife might have some ulterior motives. They had a good impression of Wang Dajun's couple.
Wang Dajun and his wife are kind-hearted people. Whenever their neighbors need help with something, they will definitely lend a hand as long as they have the time. However, Wang Dagui is different from them. He is a very selfish person who only thinks about making money for himself. Although he puts on a good face, it's just to deceive those who don't know him well. People who have dealt with Wang Dagui for a long time are very familiar with his true nature.
"Uncle, I'm troubling you with this today. My parents..." Wang Qiqi didn't give her uncle and aunt any time to think, especially her uncle. Many things were controlled by Wang Daguai's big goals, and many bad ideas came from him, while Li Cui was his accomplice.
Wang Dagu heard Wang Qiqi say that, patted his head, right, he still had important things to do, what's more important than making money? "Qiqi, wait for me at home, I'll go find the ice coffin immediately."
Li Cui watched the outsiders wiping down her uncle and aunt's bodies, and suddenly felt a chill run through her body. She looked around, but everyone seemed normal. Was it possible that her uncle and aunt were trying to warn her about something?
Li Cui thought to herself that the house, which she had previously thought was quite good, now seemed a bit gloomy. This place gave her the creeps and she didn't want to stay here for another moment. "Qiqi, Xiaorui is still at home, I'll go back and keep her company. Tomorrow during the day..." Li Cui suddenly remembered something important - Eldest Uncle and his family were also at home, but they couldn't be left alone.
"Tomorrow I will ask for a few days off from school." Wang Qiqi knew that Li Cuicui didn't have the heart to stay at home, and she couldn't bear to give up her salary. But this was also good, when relatives, friends, and colleagues came to give her red envelopes, she could take them herself and keep a record. In the past, all these money were taken away by her uncle's family, of course, they gave her the account book. When Wang Qiqi encountered people on the list who had something going on at home, she would send money over. This kind of foolish thing couldn't be done again.
Li Cui heard Wang Qiqi say that, and almost rushed out of the door to go outside. Some neighbors didn't see them already leaving the Wang's house entrance, but in fact they were still chatting downstairs. Seeing Li Cui like this, after hearing someone come over to report real-time news, their contempt for Li Cui and her husband rose again.
"What a great army, how can there be such a brother."
"Even the sister-in-law is not a human being, it's really 'one family doesn't enter one family's door'."
"Poor Da Jun is such a good person, and Qiqi, that child, is also being spoiled by the couple. They don't let the child know many things, and who knows how they will bully Wang Dagui's wife in the future."
"Hmph, it's not just bullying, I think if things don't go well, the couple who left behind will be cheated out of everything." After someone said this, everyone fell silent. This was actually a harsh reality. Qiqi was clever, but after all, she was just a child and couldn't compete with her uncle and aunt.
"Alright, it's their family affair anyway, no matter what, they are relatives after all."
"It's not what I meant, if Wang Daguai and his gang are too much to handle, and judging from what Qiqi said just now, it doesn't seem like they're easily deceived by Wang Daguai and his gang." If Wang Qiqi were here, she would definitely give a thumbs up, those people's words are really insightful.
Someone at the scene of the accident said, "Zhu Dajun talked to Qiqi for a long time before he left. He might have even given her some advice, otherwise why would she talk like that? Never mind, for Zhu's sake, as long as Wang Dagui does something that Qiqi doesn't want to do, we'll also help out and say a few words."
"Yes, yes, can't let the troops go with an uneasy mind." After a group of people had a conversation, and it was getting late, they all dispersed.
