Chapter 141 If you have nothing to do, find a night shift.
The next day, she loaded the assembled boxes onto her car, took them to a small warehouse in the orchard to stack them up, and then drove to the greenhouse.
A while ago, a supermarket came to collect fruit, but they didn't finish. There was more than half a greenhouse of fruit left. I was planning to give some to Chen Jingzhou and then sell the rest at the market myself. But now Chen Jingzhou wants twice as much.
After a busy morning, I cut several baskets of fruit, loaded them onto the car, drove home, packed the fresh grapes into boxes, and then stacked them neatly.
After lunch, she didn't rest but went straight to the orchard to pack the longans into boxes.
After working for most of the day, it's finally finished.
Her van was small, only enough to transport the amount of goods Chen Jingzhou's company needed.
It was already 3:30 pm when she drove from the village to the city. She parked her car downstairs at Chen Jingzhou's company.
Looking at the magnificent high-rise buildings, I couldn't help but exclaim, "This development is really fast."
Just three months ago, Chen Jingzhou's law firm was located in an inconspicuous, dilapidated building. Who would have thought that in such a short time, it would move into the CBD.
She made a phone call to Chen Jingzhou.
Soon, Chen Jingzhou came downstairs with a group of people pulling a small cart, greeting her with a smile, "Auntie, have you been waiting long? We waited a while for the elevator."
He Qiaoyun smiled and said, "No, I just arrived too. But your new office is really impressive. There are luxury cars everywhere. I feel embarrassed to park my little van here."
Chen Jingzhou waved his hand with a smile, "Auntie, please don't tease me. This is grand, but the rent is not cheap."
As He Qiaoyun spoke, she opened the trunk of the car, "But a nice storefront is essential for attracting wealth and prosperity."
Chen Jingzhou nodded. "That's true."
The three chatted and laughed as they carried down boxes of gift boxes. After they finished, He Qiaoyun carried down an extra basket of fruit.
Chen Jingzhou asked, puzzled, "This is..."
He Qiaoyun smiled and said, "This is an extra gift for you. There are extra grapes and longans inside, so you can have it for afternoon tea."
Chen Jingzhou hurriedly declined, but He Qiaoyun insisted on giving it to him. He had no choice but to accept the basket of fruit and invited He Qiaoyun upstairs to sit for a while.
He Qiaoyun followed him upstairs and took a look around at the law firm he had rented half a floor of, which broadened her horizons.
Before leaving, Chen Jingzhou said, "If you encounter any legal problems in the future, feel free to come to us for help, or if you introduce a friend to us, we will give you a 50% discount on the consultation fee."
He Qiaoyun immediately agreed and then took the elevator downstairs.
After a long day of fussing around, as it was getting late, she stopped at the nearest market to buy some meat and vegetables before driving back to her village.
The Mid-Autumn Festival is just two days away, and the streets are bustling with activity, with many vendors selling mooncakes.
She used to enjoy mooncakes when she was younger, but now that she's older, mooncakes have too many additives and are so sweet they make her throat dry, so she doesn't dare to eat too many.
I opened the half-pound mooncake yesterday, and there's still a little bit left. I put it in the refrigerator because I was afraid it would spoil. Now I'm probably even less inclined to eat it.
After an hour and a half drive, as the sunset faded, she finally arrived home.
After a flurry of activity inside, two dishes and a soup were served: a single-serving scallion oil chicken, a black bean fish fillet, and a shrimp and loofah soup.
Unless she's really too tired, she tries her best to eat well when she's eating alone. Only when her appetite is satisfied can she feel happy. Otherwise, what's the point of making money?
Take out a small bowl and first ladle out a bowl of loofah soup. It's sweet and soft, and tastes and feels great.
Summer and autumn are the best seasons to eat loofah. My sister Xia grows a lot of it and can't eat it all. Every year, she gets a lot of it. It's great for making soup or stir-frying.
I was happily watching TV and eating dinner when my phone suddenly rang.
She picked it up and saw it was an unfamiliar number. Hesitantly, she answered, "Hello?"
"Qiaoyun, it's me."
When He Qiaoyun heard Xu Hui's call, her appetite decreased by half. She didn't respond to him at all and hung up the phone decisively.
She had just put down her phone when it rang again. She promptly rejected the call and then blocked the number.
Over the past six months, Xu Hui has called her with many different numbers, and she blocks each one he calls.
After blocking, a message popped up from "A Loving Family".
Xu Hui, slightly drunk, sent a voice message: "Qiaoyun, can you answer the phone? I have something I want to tell you, something very important. I miss you so much. I've been thinking a lot lately, remembering how good we used to be, remembering how I made you angry, and you beat me so badly I ended up in the hospital for two days, and then we made up. If it makes you feel better, hit me again. I'm willing to let you hit me..."
The speech is incoherent and the logic is nonsensical.
He Qiaoyun was getting annoyed and replied, "Shut up."
The next second, the second daughter-in-law, Ji Ying, replied: "This is truly eye-opening. I've only ever heard of men committing domestic violence, never women, let alone beating Dad so badly he had to be hospitalized. What other surprises does this family have that I don't know about?"
The eldest son, Xu Feichi, stepped forward and said, "Ji Ying, what are you saying in such a sarcastic tone?"
Lin Liu couldn't help but retort, "Yes, Yingying, you don't need to be like this. Maybe what happened back then was a misunderstanding."
Xu Xiucheng had just finished working overtime when he picked up his beeping phone and saw the scene of an argument. He felt like the sky was falling and immediately called Ji Ying, asking her to retract the message.
Ji Ying didn't take it back, but instead chuckled, "Did I say something wrong? I've never seen a woman commit domestic violence against a man, let alone send him to the hospital. It's terrifying."
Xu Xiucheng was furious. He hung up the phone and sent a message in the group chat: "Mom, don't be angry. Ji Ying was just joking."
He Qiaoyun chuckled as she read their comments. Just as she was about to reply, Xu Hui sent her a close-up video.
In the video, he was sitting on the roadside green belt, completely drunk, muttering, "Qiaoyun, I want to remarry you. I'll still be as good to you as before, okay...?"
The sound paused for a moment, but the video continued. After a while, he seemed to wake up and looked at the camera, continuing, "Qiaoyun, I beg you, I'll change, I promise I'll change. If you tell me to go east, I'll never go west. You say one thing, I won't dare say two. Please give me another chance..."
He Qiaoyun had no patience to listen, so she skipped the progress bar and then exited the video. Feeling incredibly embarrassed, she didn't send another message, exited WeChat, and went to watch videos.
Right now in the WeChat group.
As Xu Hui's two sons, Xu Feichi and Xu Xiucheng were so embarrassed after watching the video that they were practically digging their toes into the ground. Ji Ying, on the other hand, watched with great interest, even adding a comment that seemed to enjoy the drama: "[@He Qiaoyun, Mom, Dad has already lowered himself and begged you so humbly. They say that people speak the truth when they're drunk, and that a prodigal son's return is priceless. If you refuse again, it will break Dad's heart.]"
Ji Ying started this, and Xu Feichi and Xu Xiucheng also joined in to persuade her.
Xu Feichi: [Mom, Ji Ying may not always speak well, but what she said is true.]
Xu Xiucheng: [Please give Dad another chance. I believe he will treat you well this time.]
He Qiaoyun couldn't even relax while scrolling through videos, so she simply replied: "Get lost. A family broken up is a family broken up. No matter how you try to put it back together, it'll never be whole again. If you keep trying to persuade me, don't call me 'Mom.' I'm so annoyed every day. You're almost thirty years old, don't you have any lives of your own? If you have nothing better to do, go find a night shift."
After sending the message, she turned around and left the group.
Now it's quiet.
