Chapter 1001 Thirty Years of War (1/2)

"Guide to the Max-level Boss to Abuse the Trash [Quick Transmigration]"

Qin Minyan was born in a good family. Although her family background is not as good as Qi Yuanhao's, the Qin family is also a big family in Jiangnan. She grew up in luxury and did not really care much about money.

However, although she was educated in the Three Obediences and Four Virtues, she was dissatisfied with her husband's having other women.

When the couple just got married, Qin Minyan was the only mistress in the entire Qi family, so she also treated Qi Yuanhao as her husband at that time. But later, as the second and third concubines entered the mansion, Qin Minyan's heart gradually cooled down.

If outsiders knew Qin Minyan's thoughts, they would probably think she was hypocritical. After all, in the eyes of others, there were only two concubines in Qi Yuanhao's backyard. Compared with other families with seven or eight concubines, Qi Yuanhao's backyard was already clean. Moreover, he had strict rules. No matter how favored the two concubines were, they had to bow down in front of her, the eldest lady. No matter what happened behind the scenes, at least they still respected her very much on the surface.

But Qin Minyan didn't think so. Her thoughts might be a little unorthodox, but she didn't think she had any problems - when they got married, Qi Yuanhao promised her that they would be together for life and that there would be no other women in the yard except her. As a result, within two years, he had completely forgotten his original oath.

It was clearly the Republic of China, and they talked about liberating women and improving their status, but in the end, women could only be vassals of men. They couldn't even say no to men taking concubines, and they had to happily take care of men's concubines and the children born by concubines... Qin Minyan felt suffocated just thinking about it.

Since then, Qin Minyan put aside her full emotions and tried to be a qualified wife of the Qi family. However, she made Qi Yuanhao very satisfied and felt that she was a perfect and virtuous wife.

"Minmin, do you think that apart from these things, I can't come to your room to find you?"

Qi Yuanhao didn't hear the sarcasm in Qin Minyan's words, and said helplessly, then he got up and came to the bed, slowly sat down, and then reached out to pull Qin Minyan's hand over.

Although she was already in her early forties, Qin Minyan's hands were still as delicate and smooth as those of a young girl. Qi Yuanhao was a little hesitant to use force when touching them, fearing that the calluses in his palms would scratch her tender skin.

Qin Minyan smiled and said half-truthfully: "That's not the case. Today is not the first or fifteenth day of the lunar month. The master is either in the third concubine's room or the second concubine's room. It's because the two of them were arguing about not having enough money that the master thought of coming to me."

Qi Yuanhao felt a little guilty when he heard this. He couldn't help but coughed, and then changed the subject: "Minmin, I didn't come to you today for these things, but for something serious. Listen to me."

After considering his words, he told me his purpose "That's the thing, Minmin, don't worry, I don't want these factories, I just want to check the accounts. Zhengyan said that there are some errors in the accounts of these factories. I know you are not good at this, so I want to help you."

When Qin Minyan heard Qi Yuanhao say that he wanted to take back the factories in his hands, she almost exploded. She thought Qi Yuanhao wanted to give these properties to Qi Yan. Just when she was about to explode, she heard Qi Yuanhao say that it was Qi Wang who said that there was something wrong with these accounts and asked him to help check them.

Qin Minyan suppressed her anger and smiled appropriately: "That's great, Master, you know that I hate to look at these account books. Usually, the shopkeepers under me report whatever they say. It's great that you can come to help me. Just in time, don't give it to me after you've finished reading it. Let Awang take care of it. Isn't he going to stay at home for a while?"

However, Qi Yuanhao shook his head and said: "Don't bother him with these things. Zhengyan is a man who wants to do big things. Don't bother him with these trivial matters."

The long-lance designed by Qi Wang is excellent. He is obviously very talented in weapon design. In this case, he should use all his energy on it. It's better not to bother him with those trivial matters.

Seeing Qi Yuanhao's objection, Qin Minyan did not continue to talk to annoy him. She thought for a while and continued: "By the way, Master, Ah Wang is twenty-five this year. It's time for him to get married. I'm thinking of holding a banquet and inviting all the famous ladies in Jinling City. We can choose from them. What do you think?"

Qi Yuanhao nodded and said, "It's up to you to decide, but you still have to discuss this matter with Zhengyan to see what he thinks."

Qi Yuanhao was still very open-minded on this point. Anyway, he had three sons. One didn't get married and the other got married. He didn't lack grandchildren anyway. He still had to choose a daughter-in-law that he liked, otherwise he might not be comfortable getting along with her in the future.

Qin Minyan also knew Qi Yuanhao's personality, so she just notified Qi Yuanhao and let him know about this matter.

It was late at night, and since Qi Yuanhao had come, he had no intention of leaving. Qin Minyan did not dislike Qi Yuanhao at this time. After he washed up, the two of them fell asleep quickly.

The name of Li Xiaoge sounds elegant, but it is a famous opium den nearby. Like other opium dens, it is hidden in the alleys deep in the alley. If there is no one to lead the way, there is really no way to find the right way from the dense road like a spider web.

At this time, the sky was just getting light, and the dark brown door of Li Xiaoge was opened from the inside, and a skinny man was thrown out from inside by two men in shorts.

"Bah, you want to come here to enjoy yourself without money? You don't even ask what this place is. Is it a place where you can be unbridled?"

The middle-aged man thrown on the ground didn't care about the pain on his body. He rolled and crawled to hug the thug's thigh. However, seeing his tears, the thug felt disgusted. He kicked him and the man rolled down the stairs again.

"Don't complain to me here. Go home and get money. If you have money, you can be a master. If you don't have money, get out of here as far as you can. Don't stand here and get in the way."

Then the two thugs spat fiercely at the middle-aged man on the ground, and turned around and left regardless of his pleading.

The middle-aged man was kicked in the chest, and he was twitching with pain. But when he saw the two thugs were about to close the door and go back, he immediately let out another wail and tried to pounce on them.

"Please, let me in, I have money, I will have money soon..."

However, the opium den is not short of people like him. Those who can enter the opium den with money will naturally be treated as honored guests, holding a pipe and puffing smoke, living a life like a fairy.

But all this is based on the fact that the guests have money. Once the guests have no money, they will be immediately kicked out by the thugs here like garbage.

The opium den is not short of guests. These days, there are a lot of people holding money to this opium den for entertainment. There are many poor people, but there are also many rich people. When they have no money, they sell their houses and land, sell their children and daughters, and sell their wives. They squeeze out all the money that can be squeezed out, and then they will be thrown out like rags.

Many people know the harm of opium, but they are crazy and rush to it, just to enjoy the wonderful moment as if they are in a fairyland.

These people are crazy about opium. They lie in the opium den, puffing out smoke, living a life of drunkenness and dreaming, just caring about their own happiness, how can they care about other things?

When these people step into the opium den, they have already lost their humanity. As they get deeper and deeper, the erosion of opium becomes more and more severe, and they will completely become slaves of opium and completely lose themselves.

It is worth mentioning that these opium dens are not all managed by foreigners. Many of them are the property of those wealthy families. Don’t they know the harm of these opium?

Not so. Anyone who has been to school for two years and has learned some words will know about the destruction of opium in Humen, the harm caused by opium, and how much wealth those foreign wolves, tigers and leopards relied on opium to plunder China and how many ordinary people they harmed.

They all know it, but they don’t care about it, but because the benefits brought by opium are huge enough.

Opium is highly addictive, almost once you smoke it, and it takes great perseverance and determination to quit. Few people can quit on their own, and even if they do, the possibility of relapse is very high.

Moreover, opium will destroy a person's spirit and body. At the beginning, it will indeed make people feel unprecedented excitement and happiness, but these are all based on the premise that the body is destroyed. All the excitement and happiness felt now are all overdrawn by the human body's potential in the next few years or even decades.

In short, as long as you get involved in opium, this person will basically be ruined, but opium destroys not only the person who smokes opium, but also the countless people behind him. Those people are his relatives and children. When opium smokers are desperate and can't get money to exchange for opium, they will lose their humanity and extend their evil claws to their closest people.

The middle-aged man finally crawled to the gate of Li Xiao Pavilion, but the gate had already been closed. No matter how he beat the gate in distress, it would not open to him, unless he had money again, then the people inside would invite him in like a master.

"No, no money is not okay, I need money, I still have money, I still have money..."

He was dragged out halfway through smoking. After the addiction came, he was somewhat unable to control himself, and his body curled up like a shrimp. In order to relieve the addiction in his heart, he unconsciously bit his fingers until all ten of his fingers were bleeding, but he still did not stop.

At this time, his mouth was full of blood, and he looked crazy. Apart from the appearance of a human, where was there any human at all? It was not an exaggeration to say that he was a dying beast.

When the energy weakened, he stood up and walked towards his home.

He wanted to go back to raise money, he wanted to smoke the thing that made him so happy again, opium was his life, he would die without it...

"As long as I can smoke, I am willing to do anything..."

He laughed nervously, staggered and disappeared at the corner of the alley.

Behind the high walls on both sides of the alley were people who smoked one after another. They lay on the chaise longue soaked in smoke, enjoying this dreamlike and fairy-like life.

Everything in the outside world had nothing to do with them. Here they felt like the emperor. No, that's not right. The emperor's life was not as happy as theirs.

If possible, they would like to indulge in such a life for the rest of their lives.

Since she separated from Zhang Xinrui in the cafe last time, it started to rain in Jinling. Qi Yutong didn't like rainy days, so she stayed at home all the time. Finally, the sky cleared up, and she immediately asked Zhang Xinrui to go shopping.

Before leaving, Qi Yutong met Qi Yuyi. The two had always been at odds with each other, and they would quarrel every time they met.

"Sixth sister, why are you dressing up so beautifully? Do you have a crush on someone? Oh, I was wrong. Our sixth sister has high standards. You don't like ordinary people. There are so many men who like our sixth sister. You have to choose carefully?"

Qi Yuyi still hated Zhang Dekang for approaching her last time to get Qi Yutong's information, so even after such a long time, she couldn't help but say a few words after seeing Qi Yutong.

Qi Yutong blinked her eyes, as if she didn't hear the sarcasm in Qi Yuyi's words. She called her Fifth Sister obediently, and then followed Qi Yuyi's words and said, "Fifth Sister is right. I didn't pay attention to these things in the past. I will pay attention to them in the future. Thank you for reminding me."

Qi Yuyi widened her eyes and looked at Qi Yutong as if she had seen a ghost, as if she didn't know her - is this still the Qi Yutong who would argue with her for no reason? Did she hit her head and became stupid?

Qi Yutong certainly knew what Qi Yuyi was thinking now, but she didn't care. In the past, she thought she was the legitimate daughter of the Qi family, and was spoiled by her mother and brother. As a legitimate daughter born by a legitimate wife, she naturally felt superior to those concubines born by concubines.

So as long as the other party picked a fight, she would immediately fight back, like a little lion with bared teeth and claws. But now that she knew her true identity, she would immediately feel guilty and short of breath. After all, she was not the real Miss Qi. Even if she was a concubine's daughter, born by a concubine, she was still the daughter of a real marshal. What was she?

While Qi Yuyi was so shocked that she couldn't speak, Qi Yutong nodded at the other party and said, "Fifth sister, I remember everything you said, but I have something else to do. I won't talk to you for now. Let's talk about it when we meet."

After saying this, Qi Yutong didn't wait for Qi Yuyi to answer, and directly passed her and left.

Qi Yuyi stared at Qi Yutong's back as she left, and it took her a long time to recover.

There must be a conspiracy. This dead girl used to be so arrogant and domineering. She relied on the fact that she was born from the belly of the eldest wife and didn't take her seriously at all. Today, she suddenly changed her nature. There must be a conspiracy!

Qi Yuyi was indignant. After thinking about it again and again, she finally decided to follow him to see what was going on.

She didn't believe it. No matter how much a person's temperament changes, it won't be like a completely different person. There must be something wrong when things are abnormal. She has to be on guard.

"Xinrui, I'm here!"

Qi Yutong arrived earlier than Zhang Xinrui. The two met in a ready-made clothing store. The clothes sold here are all imported from foreign countries. They are exquisite and beautiful. Qi Yutong is a frequent customer here, but Zhang Xinrui has never spent money here. The reason is that the clothes here are too expensive. Zhang Xinrui can't afford it.

"Tongtong, why did you choose to meet here this time? Didn't you say that you were going to watch a movie today?"

Zhang Xinrui changed into a light blue plain cheongsam today. Her hair was slightly permed, and the ends of her hair were curled. She looked a little more playful and lively than before.

When Qi Yutong saw the other party, a big smile immediately appeared on her face. She walked quickly to Zhang Xinrui and pulled her to the shelf where clothes were placed.

"Xinrui, I remember that your birthday is coming soon. I don't have anything to give you. It just so happens that this store has just received a batch of dresses. I think these ones are very suitable for you. Why don't you try them on and see if you like them. I will give them to you."

Hearing this, Zhang Xinrui immediately shook her head and refused repeatedly: "No, no, these clothes are too expensive. You have already given me a lot of things in the past. I can't accept your things anymore."

The two people's family backgrounds are not equal. Qi Yutong has always been generous, and the gifts she gave her are very valuable. Although Zhang Xinrui often returns gifts, she has to admit that the value of her return gifts is far less than that of Qi Yutong.

The exchanges between friends also require balance. If the balance is lost, the friendship will naturally deteriorate.

"Xinrui, don't refuse me. This is a birthday gift for you, which is different. Also, just think of it as my apology to you last time."

Hearing Qi Yutong mention the last incident, Zhang Xinrui's expression on her face was a little uncomfortable. She was silent for a while, and then she smiled again and said softly: "It's okay, I know you are kind, I don't care."

It is reasonable for Qi Wang to look down on her. Although Zhang Xinrui had some unrealistic dreams before, she also knew that the two of them were people on two different paths after all, and it was normal that they could not get together.

Qi Yutong was kind-hearted, and she was actively trying to bring them together. Although her method might not be right, Zhang Xinrui would not blame her for this.

But in the end, she still could not win over Qi Yutong, and had no choice but to pick a dress with the lowest price.

"I'll just take this one."

When the two came out of the clothing store, two figures walked out of the clothing store opposite. When one of them saw Qi Yutong, his eyes lit up instantly.
