"What's up?"

Aside from that twenty yuan, she and Liu Pandi had almost no interaction. Why would she come looking for her now?

"I heard that your snack workshop is expanding and hiring. Could you let me in next time?"

Liu Pandi spoke in a humble tone, rubbing his hands together, somewhat hesitant.

Although the autumn harvest was still a long way off, it was impossible for her to pay off the twenty yuan with her work points, and she didn't want to go to the farm for reform.

It's a small workshop where you can get dividends, earn extra cash, and it's not tiring at all—it's practically the ideal job.

"The subsequent recruitment will be handled by the team leader; it's no use coming to me."

With the irresistible deliciousness of these snacks, hiring is a must.

However, recruitment should also give some opportunities to the members of the brigade, so Ruan Qiushui did not intend to get involved and left it to Gu Xianjin to deal with.

"Yeah?"

Liu Pandi was somewhat disappointed, but she didn't feel that Ruan Qiushui was just being perfunctory.

“If you want to hire people, you can prepare early. Hiring is about who is more competent for the position. As long as you are as skilled as Aunt Xie Xiuying and the others, I believe you will be selected.”

On the night of Chen Fenglan's parents' farce, Liu Pandi said something in their defense, which can be considered as not having lost his conscience.

"Thanks."

Liu Pandi sincerely thanked them, and watched Chen Fenglan and the others' actions thoughtfully from the side.

Seeing that Xie Xiuying and the other four were skilled at the job, Ruan Qiushui returned to the clinic.

"Ruan Qiushui, are you there?"

Qin Qiaoqiao stepped into the clinic.

"Your clinic doesn't look very good."

Qin Qiaoqiao wrinkled her nose in disgust.

"What? Looking for trouble again?"

Looking at Qin Qiaoqiao's haggard face, Ruan Qiushui felt embarrassed to say anything harsh.

"for you."

Qin Qiaoqiao took out a pink and blue silk flower from her pocket and placed it on the table.

"What are you doing?"

The two always clash whenever they meet, so why are they exchanging gifts this time?

"Courtesy first, then force?" That doesn't seem like something someone with Qin Qiaoqiao's intelligence would do.

"I'm going back to the city tomorrow and wanted to come and apologize to you. I'm sorry! I lost my mind because of Duan Zhiyu, and you suffered innocently."

"The silk flowers are new and suit you perfectly. Please don't mind them."

She used to be repulsive, but now she has realized her mistakes and wants to change.

Congratulations!

Successfully returned to the city, away from that scumbag.

"Thanks."

Qin Qiaoqiao smiled with relief and turned back to the educated youth center.

With no patients coming in, Ruan Qiushui, having nothing else to do, began a new round of drying herbs.

"Ruan Qiushui, this is your lunch. After you finish eating, come out with me."

Gu Xiaoxiao placed a lunchbox on the table.

Gu Changshu was out today, so Xie Xiuying sent her to deliver food to Ruan Qiushui.

"I'm not going."

It's definitely not going to be good. What would you do there?

"What? You dare not go?"

She's Ruan Qiushui's future sister-in-law, and she dares to refuse when she's called out? Does she not want to marry her third brother anymore?

"right."

Ruan Qiushui nodded affirmatively.

Don't think that just because you're two years younger than her you can do whatever you want; she won't tolerate that. This kind of brat needs to be disciplined!

“If you dare not come out with me, I will write to Third Brother and tell him to break up with you.”

Gu Xiaoxiao was so angry that her face turned red. Everyone in her family doted on her, yet she had been humiliated by Ruan Qiushui.

"Let me put it this way, if your brother can't even control you, and breaks up with me because of a letter from you, then I wouldn't even want him."

What kind of man can't you find? Why choose to find someone who causes you so much trouble?

"You think I don't know? It was actually Wang Qiaohui who asked you to call me out, wasn't it?"

Wang Qiaohui had Gu Xiaoxiao, who was clueless, completely fooled. It was obvious that she had lured her into a trap.

How did you know?

Gu Xiaoxiao fell into self-doubt.

She didn't even mention Wang Qiaohui's name. Was her behavior that obvious?

"You don't need to worry about how I know. All you need to know is that Wang Qiaohui has ill intentions."

"She only approached you to use you. If you don't believe me, come with me and see the show."

Ruan Qiushui decided to give Gu Xiaoxiao a chance to see the truth.

If she remains stubborn even after seeing the truth, then such a sister-in-law should just be discarded.

"What do you mean?"

In Gu Xiaoxiao's heart, Wang Qiaohui was a pure angel who would never have any bad intentions.

What kind of trouble is Ruan Qiushui causing now?

"Let's go, didn't Wang Qiaohui tell you to call me out?"

Ruan Qiushui put the stun gun into her pocket and walked out.

"You haven't eaten yet."

Gu Xiaoxiao's feelings were somewhat complicated at this moment.

She didn't know what Ruan Qiushui was thinking at that moment, nor did she know whether she was doing the right thing by following Wang Qiaohui's advice.

Gu Xiaoxiao led Ruan Qiushui up the mountain until they reached a sparsely populated hillside before stopping.

"Sister Qiaohui told us to wait for her here, saying she has something to tell you."

Gu Xiaoxiao looked around but didn't see Wang Qiaohui's name at all.

"Hmm!"

A sneak attack from behind! Gu Xiaoxiao was suddenly covered in the mouth by a pair of foul-smelling hands. In the struggle, she fell to the ground.

Behind Ruan Qiushui, a man appeared, attempting to drug her.

Ruan Qiushui pondered for a moment, then pretended to fall to the ground.

"I thought this woman surnamed Ruan was quite capable, but she was taken down in no time."

Lai San looked at Ruan Qiushui lying on the ground and laughed triumphantly.

"Waaaaah!"

Gu Xiaoxiao's eyes widened in disbelief that Ren San would actually appear here.

He was the nightmare of all the unmarried girls in the brigade; they were afraid to even walk around with him.

What will happen if a man and a woman are alone together right now?

Gu Xiaoxiao was so frightened that she broke out in a cold sweat.

"Shut up, what are you yelling for?"

Gu Dashu covered Gu Xiaoxiao's mouth tightly, and when she struggled, he slapped her across the face.

"Brother, be more civilized and take your hand away. This is your future wife; what if you hurt her?"

Wang Qiaohui slowly walked out from behind the tree, saw Gu Xiaoxiao's frightened appearance, and laughed triumphantly.

"Sister Qiaohui, why?"

Gu Xiaoxiao had never been slapped so hard in her life, and the pain made her cry out.

Why did you hurt me? What did I do to wrong you?

If Gu Xiaoxiao still doesn't understand what's going on at this point, then all those years of studying have been for nothing.

"Why? Of course, it's because you're doing better than me, and I'm jealous."

"We're all girls, so why am I treated like a money-losing burden while you're treated like a precious gem?"

"Do you know how envious I am of you? I wish I could kill you so I could take your place and live in the Gu family."

Wang Qiaohui spoke through gritted teeth, consumed by jealousy.

"So, you're saying you never genuinely wanted to be friends with me from the beginning? Then why did you save me?"

When she was eight years old, she mischievously went to the river to catch fish and was suddenly pushed into the river. She couldn't swim and struggled desperately. If Wang Qiaohui hadn't risked her life to jump into the river and save her, she would have died long ago.
