Chapter 19: Chapter 19 He Xiuyu, what kind of woman did you actually bring back from the northeastern countryside? Chapter 19: Chapter 19 He Xiuyu, what kind of woman did you actually bring back from the northeastern countryside? Qiao Qingyu looked at Liu Qiao Wen with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile.
Shen Haoze and Su Yunyao also stopped in their tracks, puzzled as they looked at Qiao Qingyu.
However, not only was Liu Qiao Wen’s voice trembling but her hands were slightly shaking too, her heart filled with imnse hatred, yet at the sa ti, she was terrified.
She had deliberately approached Qiao Qingyu over the past month and had successfully made her obey, being a city person who endured her deep disgust to beco ‘sisters’ with this foolish village girl from the northeastern countryside.
She thought she had everything under control and that it wouldn’t be long before Qiao Qingyu, this foolish girl who overreached, would be driven out of He Xiuyu’s family compound.
She thought it wouldn’t be long before her most beloved younger brother could transition from a temporary worker to a permanent one.
But who would have thought that she would be reported by Qiao Qingyu!
Was it really just because she had thrown fifty yuan on the ground?
Was she so noble that she couldn’t bend down to pick it up?
She really was too heartless and too cruel!
Only then did Liu Qiao Wen realize that she didn’t understand Qiao Qingyu as well as she had thought.
But she dared not say anything now because she was about to be taken away for a month of labor punishnt.
She lowered her head, hiding the malice in her eyes, thinking a gentleman’s revenge is not too late even after ten years!
She swore, she would make Qiao Qingyu’s life a living hell!
Qiao Qingyu had not overlooked the hatred in Liu Qiao Wen’s eyes, but she didn’t care at all. With a faint smile on her lips, her voice gentle, she said, “Liu Qiao Wen, it’s often said that every al is hard-earned, and the money earned by your loved one is no different. Moreover, you threw the money on the ground; luckily, you didn’t step on it. Can you imagine the consequences if you had stepped on so important symbols?”
Liu Qiao Wen suddenly looked up, staring at Qiao Qingyu as if seeing a devil. Her heart raced, and her lips trembled, unsure of what to say in her defense.
Shen Haoze stood at the door; suddenly, a thought flashed in his mind, and the next second, his expression beca complex.
He murmured to himself: He Xiuyu, what kind of woman have you brought back from the northeastern countryside?
Su Yunyao was unclear about the essence of the situation, but this ti, she didn’t speak out. She had been rebutted by Qiao Qingyu several tis already; she was not foolish and naturally knew what to do.
Truth be told, in her previous life spanning several decades, it seed Qiao Qingyu’s shadow was everywhere, yet she had never really noticed her.
That woman made no attempt to progress, ignorant and foolish, ill-tempered, a complete shrew.
If it were not for He Xiuyu being extrely loyal to marriage, this woman would have been driven out of He Xiuyu’s family base long ago, but it was precisely because of He Xiuyu’s character that she loved him unyieldingly.
How she wished that his loyalty were directed at her!
So, she understood Qiao Qingyu well, but now, she had to reassess Qiao Qingyu with a whole new perspective.
Her appearance remained the sa, yet her gaze had changed, her whole aura had changed.
Because of such transformations, she seed much more lively and vibrant.
Especially, the way she raised her eyebrows and looked at you with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile seed irresistibly charming.
And such a Qiao Qingyu suddenly sparked a sense of panic in Su Yunyao, turning her complexion quite unsightly as she finally began to worry.
Will Qiao Qingyu, having changed like this, still interact with He Xiuyu as she did in the previous life?
Even she couldn’t bring herself to say Qiao Qingyu was an ugly village girl.
Could He Xiuyu remain indifferent to such a girl?
Thinking of this, Su Yunyao felt as if countless venomous snakes were tearing at her heart, and she couldn’t help but clutch at her chest in pain.
Beside her, Shen Haoze finally averted his gaze, his brows furrowed as he looked at Su Yunyao’s ashen face and asked with concern, “Yunyao, what’s wrong?”
Su Yunyao slowly straightened up and shook her head.
Her gloomy gaze fixed on Qiao Qingyu, seated in the chair, as she leisurely accepted the fifty yuan, watching Liu Qiao Wen, with a pale face, stagger towards them.
Ultimately, Su Yunyao still chose to remain silent.
Qiao Qingyu put the fifty yuan into her crossbody bag before standing up, but her steps hastened as she moved to the courtyard, where Shen Fen and Sister-in-law Li looked over worriedly, to whom she smiled.
Shen Haoze felt terrible. He had thought they would catch a ride on the truck and head directly back to the base with Su Yunyao and Liu Qiao Wen, but Xiao Chen had to deliver things to He Xiuyu’s house.
Half the truck was filled with her belongings. Was this woman moving house?
Frustrated, Shen Haoze had no choice but to wait at the office entrance for the truck to be unloaded before it could pick them up.
Shen Fen stayed behind as well, unavoidably.
She just happened to have sothing to discuss with Shen Haoze.
anwhile, Sister-in-law Li and Xiao Hu were also sitting in the truck. The family quarters were not large, and a press of the accelerator brought them to the entrance of Qiao Qingyu’s house.
A few people busied themselves and quickly moved the truck’s contents into the courtyard.
Xiao Chen drove towards the office.
The house lights had already been turned on, dim though they were, but they still illuminated a huge pile of items.
Sister-in-law Li inwardly marveled; Qiao Qingyu’s family was really generous, giving her so many things.
But it was too late, and they left the items in the courtyard. Qiao Qingyu handed Sister-in-law Li a paper bag with a beaming smile, “These are pork buns I bought for Xiao Hu, and I have so mountain goods from my uncle and, oh, chili paste. I’ll clean up and bring you so to try tomorrow; the chili paste is made by my uncle’s wife and it’s especially good with als…”
At that mont, Qiao Qingyu transford back into a cheerful young girl.
Sister-in-law Li was at a loss for words, gave Qiao Qingyu a few advisories, and left with Xiao Hu, who clung tightly to his pork buns.
Qiao Qingyu locked the front door, simply freshened up, and laid down on the Kang (traditional Chinese bed-stove).
She had been busy these past few days and felt weary. The mont she closed her eyes, she fell into a deep sleep.
…
The next morning, Qiao Qingyu began to sort through her belongings.
Ten wooden boxes each one ter in length and width.
A large amount of dried goods.
Five bags of flawed fabric and scraps.
300 jin (pound) of millet cakes.
Another 200 yuan in cash in her crossbody bag.
Oh, and five sacks of black soil that surprised Xiao Chen.
Qiao Qingyu swiftly began to organize.
The ten large wooden boxes were neatly stacked in the corner.
The five sacks of black soil, quite heavy, had been neatly lined up by Xiao Chen along the wall.
When needed, one would simply open the ties of the sacks.
Qiao Qingyu took out so of each type of dried goods and wrapped them in two large paper bags; one for Shen Fen and one for Sister-in-law Li.
These were the two best people to her at the base, whom Qiao Qingyu included in her inner circle.
