At fifty, she remarried into a wealthy family; her ex-husband knelt down and begged for reconciliati

Chapter 114 You're so lucky

I ate lunch late, so I didn't have time for a nap. By the time I washed the dishes, it was already close to 2 p.m., the time when the sun was at its strongest.

He Qiaoyun washed a bunch of grapes and brought them out of the kitchen, saying, "Have some fruit."

Feng Jiashu picked one, took a bite, and raised his eyebrows. "It's very sweet."

He Qiaoyun smiled, "These were freshly picked from the greenhouse this morning. I picked a lot; you can take them back later."

Feng Jiashu quickly refused, "No need, no need."

He Qiaoyun wouldn't listen to a word he said, and turned around to pack grapes, longans, and lychees for him, loading them onto the car. Feng Jiashu had no choice but to accept it.

Seeing that it was getting late, she said, "I have to go to the orchard to open the gate."

Feng Jiashu nodded. "I have to go back too. I'll give you a ride on the way."

"it is good."

He Qiaoyun could tell he was quite busy. During dinner, he rejected three phone calls in a row and only went out to make a call after finishing his meal.

The orchard is on the north side of the village, while He Qiaoyun's family lives on the south side.

This was the time when the villagers were busy going out. The village roads were winding and meandering. Feng Jiashu drove his Land Rover ostentatiously past everyone's noses, arousing envy among many people, who began to whisper among themselves.

"Just as Zhende said, she brought a man who drives a Land Rover home and swaggered around the village without any shame."

"Oh my, she's only been divorced for a short time and she's already bringing a man home. She has no sense of propriety."

"Exactly, who knows how this divorce happened? Everyone says it was her ex-husband who cheated, but is she really innocent?"

"The two of them stayed in the house for an entire afternoon; who knows what they did?"

"What did you do?"

"That goes without saying, it's something that can't be brought to light."

......

These whispers were kept out by the tightly closed car windows, and He Qiaoyun didn't hear them at all, simply enjoying the cool air conditioning in the car.

A short while later, the car stopped outside the orchard.

Feng Jiashu unlocked the car door and then closed it again.

He Qiaoyun couldn't open the car door, so she turned her head and said, "I can't open it."

Feng Jiashu's fingers hovered over the car door lock, his eyes fixed on her, and he said, "You..."

He Qiaoyun tilted her head slightly and asked in confusion, "Hmm?"

He pressed the car door lock and said, "When will you finish things here?"

He Qiaoyun thought for a moment before saying, "I don't know, I guess it'll take a week. What's wrong?"

He added, "No, please feel free to call me if you need any help."

He Qiaoyun smiled and said, "Okay."

As she spoke, the car door clicked open, and she stepped out with one foot. She then turned around and said goodbye to him, "Drive safely and have a safe trip. Send me a message when you get back to the city."

Feng Jiashu's eyes were full of reluctance. "Okay."

After she finished speaking, the car door closed, and she stood outside the car waving at him.

Feng Jiashu smiled at her, then started the car and slowly drove away.

He Qiaoyun watched the car leave until it disappeared around the corner. Only then did she turn around sadly and take out her keys from her bag.

"Oh, Qiaoyun."

A sound startled her so much that she almost dropped the keys in her hand.

She gripped the key, turned her head and saw several helpers standing to the side staring at her. She quickly suppressed her reluctance and forced an awkward smile, "You're here, I'll open the door right away."

They walked over and asked gossipily, "Qiaoyun, isn't he the one who brought the child last time?"

He Qiaoyun nodded. "Yes, it's him."

They immediately became interested and started chattering, "So you're going to be a stepmother? Being a stepmother isn't easy!"

"Yes, you have to do laundry, cook, serve your husband, and take care of the children. Kids these days are hard to raise. If he doesn't like you, he'll talk nonsense. In the end, he'll definitely side with the children, after all, they're his own flesh and blood."

He Qiaoyun said helplessly, "Actually, that's not his child. It's his deceased sister's child. There's no one to take care of the child, and he, as her uncle, can't just sit idly by. Besides, the little girl is quite easy to take care of. He has hired a nanny to cook and take care of the child, so I don't have to worry about it much."

These words left the others speechless, yet they were also envious. "Then you're lucky."

No sooner had he finished speaking than someone else interrupted, asking, "Besides this little girl, does he have any other children?"

He Qiaoyun shook her head. "No, he divorced many years ago and hasn't remarried."

The group exchanged bewildered glances, exclaiming in astonishment, and said again, "You're so lucky."

He Qiaoyun smiled faintly, "Alright, let's get back to the main topic. It's time for work, everyone go pick fruit."

"Row."

He Qiaoyun watched them enter the garden and shook her head helplessly. She still needed to explain these things to them clearly, otherwise they would make wild guesses, and if they guessed and then passed the rumors around, that's how rumors start.

She counted the fruit she had cut that morning, and soon fruit vendors came to collect the fruit to set up their stalls. She dealt with them for a while before she finally had some free time.

Back in the tin shack, I chug down two cups of wine before I could quench my thirst.

I pulled my phone, which had been ringing for ages, out of my pocket. As soon as I turned it on, I received a message from Feng Jiashu: "I've arrived in the city. Maybe because it's a weekday, the road was clear."

She replied with a tap of her finger: "I just finished my work too, and I'm just sitting down to rest."

Feng Jiashu: [It's still quite hot today, be careful of heatstroke.]

A smile played on her lips: "Mmm."

Feng Jiashu: [I have to go now, we'll talk later.]

After the chat ended, He Qiaoyun didn't immediately exit the chat page. Instead, she unconsciously scrolled through the chat history, a sweet smile spreading across her face.

The next second, a WeChat call came in, and her smile immediately vanished.

He was the man who confessed his feelings to her in front of Feng Jiashu.

She rubbed her forehead, answered the phone, and intended to explain things to the other party.

The call connected, and a man's broken Mandarin immediately came through the receiver, "Qiaoyun, you finally answered my call! Was I too direct and made you shy? Well, I apologize, it's just that I'm too charming, but I won't change..."

He Qiaoyun interrupted, "No, no, no, let me say a few words."

The man stopped his rambling confession and said, "Okay, go ahead."

He Qiaoyun organized her thoughts before saying, "I don't know you, and I don't plan to find a partner, so you don't need to call me anymore."

The man didn't give up. "You're on the street right now. Come over here. Let's have a meal together and we'll get to know each other. Once you see me, you'll definitely like me. No woman can resist me."

He Qiaoyun closed her eyes speechlessly and simply said, "Yes, yes, you are very good. I am not worthy. That's all."

The man laughed, “You’re worthy. No one is worthy of me except you, Qiaoyun. I truly love you. Once we’re together, we’ll form a couple and make videos, become couple bloggers, and do live streams together. We’ll definitely become famous.”

"That's the trick of the trade," she thought, exasperated. "How many followers do you have?"
