Chapter 111: Chapter 111: After Raising a Child and Getting Rich in That Era, the Delicate Beauty Was Spoiled Rotten 31
He walked right into the muzzle!
Suddenly, Li Jian began to stamr, his hands and feet floundering. Knowing his thoughts were exposed, his face flushed red like a piece of pig’s liver, and even his voice trembled. He bent over, “Qin, Young Master Qin, I, I just…”
Under such oppression, he couldn’t think of an excuse for a while, and suddenly cold sweat trickled down his forehead.
Li Jian had always wanted to go to a big city. His family was in a small town, but he was eager to develop in a big place like Jinghua. Now, with the new policy out, anyone with money or plans for the future wanted to move to Jinghua or other major cities.
Although he wasn’t clear about what Qin Lianqi’s family specifically did, he knew that this man coming to teach in the town was purely his own idea.
Knowing Qin Lianqi was not to be provoked was just a chance occurrence. At that ti, even his uncle, whom he thought held significant power, was extrely respectful to Young Master Qin and cautioned him not to get close to Qin Lianqi, as he didn’t like people approaching him.
...
Back then, Li Jian just sighed, but he never expected he would see Qin Lianqi again in the town.
“She is my person,” Qin Lianqi, looking down from above, gazed at him with a disdainful look, his face full of extre arrogance, but his eyes were icy, indicating he was not in a good mood. He spoke indifferently, “This ti, I’ll let you go. Since you know who I am, you’d better heed my advice. If there’s a next ti, you won’t want these eyes of yours.”
Swept by Qin Lianqi’s indifferent gaze, Li Jian felt cold sweat all over, even his palms were covered in fine sweat. He swallowed, “Yes, yes, Young Master Qin, I won’t dare again, I won’t dare again. If you need any help from in the future, just say the word.”
His expression was extrely sycophantic, but Qin Lianqi still slightly frowned, unresolved.
You could tell at a glance that this Li Jian was no good person. Compared with him, Qin Lianqi was simply invincible. He definitely needed to find a ti to ask Ruanruan thoroughly if she had been deceived by this Li Jian before.
After Li Jian made his promise, Qin Lianqi nodded, then took his belongings and went to the store to find Su Zhiruan.
The alley was left with only Li Jian, who by now, dared not look at Su Zhiruan again.
He felt sowhat unwilling, but after Qin Lianqi declared his dominance, he dared not think of targeting Su Zhiruan any longer.
At this mont, all Li Jian felt was regret.
Initially, when he as a young intellectual helped the village chief of the Su Family Village, Su Zhiruan was still Su Zhaodi, looking very frail but with delicate and pretty features, which instantly attracted him.
Latterly, he gradually released so ambiguous signals. Young girls at that age, especially those raised in the countryside, neglected by families favoring sons over daughters, could be easily chard with a few sweet words, a handful of wildflowers picked from the roadside, and occasional caring inquiries.
However, perhaps as a common failing among n, he felt that Su Zhaodi, being uneducated and dressed in tatters with a family that disliked her, despite her potential, was worn out by the harsh labor, growing haggard and weather-beaten. Then, he t Su Caixia. Su Caixia’s family was wealthy. Although she looked ordinary, she wore fine clothes, was well-fed, and being a high school student, was educated.
Soon, Li Jian covertly moved towards Su Caixia.
But he didn’t know when it started, Su Zhiruan suddenly changed profoundly, opened a store, supported her younger siblings’ education, and even people said the most fashionable clothes in the town were made from her designs because her current style was different from most people’s black, white, and blue.
Li Jian walked reluctantly on the street when he suddenly saw a garnt in a clothing store that looked almost like the one Su Zhiruan wore earlier.
The item was a dark green top with embroidered edges and puff sleeves, featuring a bow tied around the waist, highlighting her slim waist and perfect proportions.
“How much is this?” Possessed as if by so imp, Li Jian walked in, pointed at the garnt hanging on the wall, and asked the shop owner, who was engrossed in a tragic novel. Reacting to his inquiry, she quoted a price, and he nodded, “I’ll take this one.”
…
When Su Caixia received this garnt, she was almost seething with rage, forgetting the obedient girl persona she maintained so well regularly. She imdiately asked, “What do you an by giving this?”
“New clothes,” Li Jian handed the bag over to her, unwilling to admit he had bought them because they looked good on Su Zhiruan when she wore them. So, he made up an excuse, “I heard you are going to a class reunion, and wearing new clothes can also be fashionable.”
Su Caixia took a deep breath, suppressing the repulsion in her heart, and simply said, “Okay, thank you.”
Since she had last seen Qin Lianqi, she had been beside herself. Li Jian and Qin Lianqi simply had no comparison. She was smart. When she saw Li Jian bowing and scraping before Qin Lianqi last ti, she had guessed Qin Lianqi’s status was extraordinary. Handso, with a good family background, Li Jian had absolutely no advantages at all.
Seeing this garnt, she thought of Su Zhiruan, that wretch!
Thinking this, Su Caixia carelessly threw the garnt into the chicken coop and never looked at it again.

Su Zhiruan’s business was growing bigger and bigger, and after she opened several branches, people ca to her asking if they could use her family’s na, offering money for it.
Li ihua did not understand why this was happening but watched as Su Zhiruan agreed, and then went herself to help the store open. Apparently, this was called a franchise.
Ti flew by.
Two years passed in the blink of an eye.
In those two years, the stores expanded further; Su Zhiruan’s franchises and branches proliferated, and the franchise fees alone had made her a fortune.
She took a quick stock of her finances, deducting the cost of goods, labor, and store expenses. The franchise fees, profits from the branches, etc., netted her a clean 150,000!
In just two years, and in this small town, she made 150,000! To know, households earning tens of thousands were extrely rare, even Li ihua was astounded to learn they had busily earned so much, unable to utter a word in shock!!
Su Zhiruan put 100,000 on a savings book, planning to take that money to start a business in a big city after getting into university. The other 50,000 was intended to be left for the three of them, her and her sons.
Li ihua personally witnessed the trendous changes in their family.
Not only did they now have a house, but Su Zhiruan also bought a bicycle.
Both children fought daily for a chance to learn to ride; Su Zhiruan simply bought two bicycles, allowing Zhishu and Zhixiao, who were growing up, to ride to and from school by themselves.
The family also acquired a black-and-white television. Li ihua had only glimpsed a television from a distance, but now they had one in their ho. She soon mastered turning it on and off and changing the channels, following the dramas daily, adding flavor to life.
As for the radio, washing machine, flashlight, refrigerator, and other appliances, they had all entered their ho, making life even more convenient.
Their family of four’s days were also getting better and better.
