Villains in Film and Television: Starting with Yang Ke in "The Golden Age"

"Sorry, okay? Here's 20 yuan, I'm leaving!"

Sha Zhu said "I'm sorry" in frustration, then took out 20 yuan, threw it to Xu Damao, and ran back home.

Since Qin Huairu was also there that night, Sha Zhu felt he had lost face in front of her, so he was naturally too embarrassed to stay.

"Hehe, let's call it a day then."

"Ouch."

Xu Damao didn't care about the 20 yuan; instead, he felt that Sha Zhu had embarrassed himself by apologizing this time. Naturally, he was very proud and prepared to go home to see his child, but the redness and swelling on his face were quite painful.

Seeing that there was no more excitement to be had, Yang Ke prepared to go back to his room to sleep, since he had gained a lot today.

Xu Damao got beaten up, and Sha Zhu apologized; these were all part of the main storyline of defeating them.

"Brother Yang."

Just after Yang Ke returned to his room, before the door was even closed, Qin Huairu came over.

"Sister-in-law Qin, is something the matter?"

Yang Ke saw Qin Huairu standing at the door and quickly looked outside.

"After the meeting, everyone went to their rooms to rest, and no one saw me."

Qin Huairu knew she was a widow, so she naturally wouldn't let anyone see her coming into Yang Ke's place, otherwise he would definitely ask her to leave.

Didn't you see how Xu Damao managed to secure Sha Zhu's blind date by using Sha Zhu's ambiguous relationship with the Jia family? That's what you call the power of gossip.

"Yes, I wonder what brings you here, sister-in-law?"

Seeing Qin Huairu's reaction, Yang Ke naturally asked her questions in a businesslike manner.

"Brother Yang, we don't have much food left at home. I was wondering if I could borrow some from you, or exchange some with you."

"After all, as you know, after Dongxu died, our family was left with only orphans and widows, and our food supplies dwindled."

Qin Huairu mentioned that her family was almost out of food and wanted to borrow some from Yang Ke.

Of course, if that doesn't work, we can try to find a solution through Yang Ke.

“Sister-in-law, your Jia family’s ration only decreased by Jia Dongxu, but there are fewer people to eat, so how come we’re almost out of food after only half a month? That shouldn’t be the case.”

Yang Ke glanced at Qin Huairu and complained that her family really could eat a lot.

Actually, the neighborhood committee and Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill did take care of the Jia family; the white flour they gave them was enough to exchange for mixed flour.

But Jia Zhangshi and Bang Geng couldn't endure hardship, so they made steamed buns directly from white flour and shared them.

Qin Huairu and Jia Dang could only eat cornbread made from a mixture of wheat and flour, which meant that the Jia family had much less grain than other families who exchanged wheat flour for wheat flour.

In addition, Jia Zhangshi and Banggeng didn't care about whether there would be a next meal. If not, they would let Qin Huairu figure it out.

Therefore, the Jia family immediately ran out of food.

This wasn't a one-off event; her family had survived the famines of the past few years in this way.

However, after Jia Dongxu died, Jia Zhangshi dared not let Qin Huairu suck the blood of Shazhu anymore.

At the very least, Jia Zhangshi wouldn't dare let Qin Huairu ask Sha Zhu for more grain, cough cough, otherwise what if her daughter-in-law ran off with Sha Zhu?

"Sister Qin, let's barter."

Seeing Qin Huairu's expression, Yang Ke knew that she had probably made up her mind.

I had hinted that day that she wouldn't come if she hadn't made up her mind.

"Okay, Brother Yang, I've brought the money with me."

Qin Huairu was still thinking of pretending to be stupid and getting away with it.

"Sister-in-law, that's not very interesting."

"They're all ancient foxes, what's the point of chatting about them?"

"To put it bluntly, as long as you obediently nod your head, the Jia family will never lack food again."

"If you don't think about yourself, you should at least think about your two children and the baby in your belly."

Yang Ke shook his head, expressing his disappointment at Qin Huairu's lack of decisiveness.

"Brother Yang, with your good looks, you can find any woman you want."

Qin Huairu tried to soften Yang Ke's heart with her pitiful expression, but Yang Ke knew his nature and remained unmoved.

"No, no, no, you don't understand this, Huairu."

"Since you haven't made up your mind, then you should go back."

Yang Ke waved his hand, indicating that Qin Huairu should go back and come back when she had thought it through.

"Okay, I agree, Brother Yang, but I'm pregnant now. Wait for me for six months, and I promise I won't go back on my word."

Qin Huairu mentioned that she was pregnant with Kuihua.

“I know, that’s why I said it’s barter.”

Yang Ke gave a cryptic smile.

Qin Huairu originally planned to delay for six months, and after the baby was born, she could go to work in the factory and then pay off the grain debt directly.

But now, it seems she can't delay any longer.

One hour later...

"Alright, here's 20 jin of mixed flour. You know how to tell Jia Zhangshi, right?"

Yang Ke wiped his mouth, then took out the two-in-one noodles he had prepared beforehand and handed them to Qin Huairu.

"...knew."

Qin Huairu had no idea such a thing existed; she had just gritted her teeth and kept quiet.

Hearing no sound outside, Qin Huairu quickly grabbed a sack and rushed back to the Jia family home.

"Huai Ru, how is she?"

Madam Jia immediately inquired about Qin Huairu.

"Mom, this is 20 jin of mixed flour."

Qin Huairu handed Jia Zhangshi 20 jin of mixed flour, and then hurriedly went to check on Xiaodang and Banggeng.

She was mainly embarrassed, after all, she had been gone for so long, it would be ridiculous to say that there was nothing between them.

“Huai Ru, what conditions do you think Yang Ke has? Borrowing grain from him is the most practical thing to do.”

Madam Jia comforted Qin Huairu, showing no concern that she had been gone for so long.

Are you kidding me? Yang Ke could marry Qin Huairu?

That's impossible!

Since the two of them are impossible, then Jia Zhangshi has nothing to worry about.

Anyway, her current idea is to leech off Qin Huairu, let her raise the three children of the Jia family and then take care of her in her old age, that's enough for her.

As for the rest, Jia Zhangshi naturally wouldn't say a word about things she shouldn't say, since it wasn't her who would suffer.

To put it bluntly, despite her seemingly crazy and eccentric appearance, Jia Zhangshi is actually quite shrewd.

However, she was too lazy, so she could only rely on Huai Ru to shoulder the burden of supporting the Jia family.

"Congratulations, host, on successfully winning over Qin Huairu. By exchanging items, you are rewarded with the Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic being upgraded to a top-tier martial arts-level health cultivation technique."

Qin Huairu's reward this time was excellent.

The Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic, which was previously a city-level reward, was mostly about health and beauty. Now, it also includes longevity. In addition, Yang Ke can cultivate internal energy.

Of course, this is modern times, so even if Yang Ke wanted to cultivate, he couldn't reach a very high level.

"System, open my properties panel."

Yang Ke also wanted to see the attribute status after the recent rewards, so he asked the system to open the panel to take a look.

Host: Yang Ke.

In terms of physical attributes: Constitution 93, Strength 90, Agility 85, which has exceeded human limits.

Secondary attributes: Max Energy, +8 Charm, +3 Talent, +3 Flexibility.

Skills: World-class urban combat skills, quick wit, wall-climbing ability, god-level acting skills, top-notch design talent, photographic memory, danger prediction, god-level medical skills, and world-class financial expertise.

Special effects: Approachable and friendly, never loses the aura of Brother Cheng, Eye of Truth, and mental immunity.

Items: A small-scale blessed land-level spatial ring, and a martial arts-level Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic cultivation technique.

Not bad. My attributes were only around 50 points before, which was already beyond human capabilities, but the increase was very slow and there was no way to improve them.

Yang Ke's attributes have now reached a minimum of over 80, mostly due to the 30 points gained from the previous life change, as well as some from mission rewards.

Most importantly, he can now cultivate internal energy, and his attributes and lifespan will gradually increase.
