Jiang Qiaoqiao patted Zhou Yang on the shoulder, "Don't worry, they will bring the money to me on their own."

Looking at Jiang Qiaoqiao's confident demeanor, Zhou Yang scratched the back of his head in confusion.

That old woman who caused trouble today, someone who wouldn't even spend money on her own grandson's medical treatment when he was sick, would actually give money to Sister Qiaoqiao?

Why does he think that's unlikely?

Jiang Qiaoqiao and Zhou Yang took over the work from Yang Jianguo and Zheng Yulan, selling or giving away the remaining duck products and vegetables.

By the time they had all finished packing, Yang Jianguo had returned.

"Where is Sister Yulan?" Zhou Yang asked with some concern.

Yang Jianguo gave a signal with his eyes.

Jiang Qiaoqiao looked outside the shop.

Zheng Yulan was standing on the steps with Xiao Guoqing in her hand, talking to Wang Dacheng.

Zheng Yulan wiped away her tears and led Xiao Guoqing into the store.

Wang Dacheng kept his head down, seemingly lost in thought.

"Goodbye, Dad." Xiao Guoqing turned around and waved to Wang Dacheng.

Wang Dacheng looked up and subconsciously took half a step in the direction of the mother and son before stopping.

Zheng Yulan walked into the store, her eyes still red.

She lowered her head apologetically, "Qiaoqiao, I'm sorry. I've caused trouble for the shop. Please hurry up and hire someone else. Once you've found someone, I'm quitting."

As Zheng Yulan spoke, she turned her head to the side, tears streaming down her face.

She finally got this job, which would allow her and her child to live a more stable life, but Zhao Shufen's outburst...

"Don't back out! What's the big deal? It's just an old woman causing trouble. The police are on our side, are we going to be afraid of them?"

Just as Jiang Qiaoqiao was about to speak to Zheng Yulan, Yang Jianguo spoke first.

Seeing Yang Jianguo's anxious face and red neck, Jiang Qiaoqiao couldn't help but smile.

Her older brother has always been gentle and mild-mannered.

From childhood to adulthood, her older brother had only ever been this anxious when she was being bullied.

She chimed in, "Sister Yulan, you can work here in our shop without worry. I think after this, Aunt Zhao shouldn't dare to cause trouble in our shop so easily."

Today, Zhao Shufen was taken to the police station and will be detained for fifteen days for causing trouble.

Not only that, they also have to compensate the duck shop for its losses and Aunt Xie for her medical expenses.

Zheng Yulan looked at Yang Jianguo and Jiang Qiaoqiao, her eyes filled with emotion.

"I've met you, Qiaoqiao, thank you all." Zheng Yulan couldn't help but wipe away a tear.

At this moment, Zhou Yang took out the schoolbag and school supplies that Jiang Qiaoqiao had asked him to buy for Guoqing today. "Sister Yulan, you and Guoqing can't leave. Sister Qiaoqiao asked me to buy Guoqing a schoolbag and stationery today. Guoqing still needs to go to school with Ling'er!"

"Guoqing, let's go to school together from now on. Sister Ling'er will protect you!" Ling'er patted Guoqing's little shoulder enthusiastically.

She is half a year older than Guoqing. Ever since Guoqing came to the store, she has always referred to herself as the older sister and has always dutifully played the role of the older sister to take care of Guoqing.

Xiao Guoqing saw his mother crying just now, and his own eyes also turned a little red.

At this moment, he looked at Ling'er, then at Qiao Qiao, Zhou Yang, and Yang Jianguo.

The little one pursed her lips and nodded emphatically, "Yes! Sister Ling'er, let's go to school together. I will study hard, learn more knowledge, and earn a lot of money in the future to repay everyone!"

Little Guoqing's eyes sparkled with a bright light.

He was taught by his aunt that learning more knowledge can make him a lot of money.

Grandma used to say that studying was useless, that he was too young to learn anything in school, and that it was a waste of money.

Only after Zheng Yulan stopped leaving did Jiang Qiaoqiao feel relieved enough to go to the hospital with Yang Jianguo.

"Brother, when Sister Yulan said she was leaving just now, you seemed quite anxious?"

Jiang Qiaoqiao sat on the back of Yang Jianguo's bicycle and asked seemingly casually.

“They are a widow and her children, and they have no other way to make a living. They don’t know how they would survive without us. How can I not be worried?” Yang Jianguo answered subconsciously.

"Oh~~~" Jiang Qiaoqiao responded in a drawn-out tone.

Yang Jianguo suddenly realized what Jiang Qiaoqiao meant. He paused on his bicycle pedal and cleared his throat awkwardly. "That's because Yulan is efficient and capable. If she leaves, it won't be easy for us to find someone as capable as her again. That's why I was in a hurry to keep her here, hehe."

Jiang Qiaoqiao smiled and said, "I understand, brother. Don't worry, I understand everything."

"But..." She paused, then changed the subject, "I heard from Yangyang that you've been getting up an hour earlier lately to pick up Sister Yulan from the outskirts of the city before going to the shop. Is it because Sister Yulan is capable?"

Jiang Qiaoqiao smiled and peeked into Yang Jianguo's eyes to ask.

Yang Jianguo panicked and his foot slipped off the pedal when he was pedaling the bicycle.

A blush crept up her ears, and she stammered, "Um...yes, yes, she's fast. With her around, we can finish the work sooner."

"Oh~~~ It seems that Sister Yulan is quite capable." Jiang Qiaoqiao replied in a serious tone, drawing out her voice.

"Uh-huh."

"Brother, stop for a moment, I'm going to buy something."

Before they knew it, the bicycle had arrived at the supermarket that Jiang Yiran had previously owned.

Jiang Qiaoqiao asked Yang Jianguo to stop the car.

She jumped off her bicycle and went into the supermarket.

The current owners of this supermarket are a middle-aged couple; the man is tall and thin and looks very composed.

The woman was a warm and friendly older sister who greeted the guests enthusiastically at the door.

Upon seeing Jiang Qiaoqiao, the older sister greeted her, "Little sister, what would you like to bring today? Pick whatever you like from here."
