"you……"

Jiang Yiran looked unconvinced and was about to argue with Jiang Qiaoqiao.

But then she saw that everyone around her was turning their anger towards Jiang Qiaoqiao.

"So you're her sister! Since you're here, you'd better give us an explanation. This little brat keeps calling us lowly people! If you don't handle this properly, we're reporting her right now!"

"Yes, give us an explanation!"

"Report! Report!"

...

The crowd's emotions were stirred up again.

Seeing this commotion, Jiang Yiran was also frightened and quickly shut up, even hiding behind Jiang Qiaoqiao.

A fleeting look of disdain crossed her eyes.

She did say something wrong in her emotional state just now.

Today's matter is probably not going to end well. If Jiang Qiaoqiao likes to show off, then let her!

With a smile on her face, Jiang Qiaoqiao said calmly and gently, "Comrades, this matter today is my sister's fault."

The group had been arguing with Jiang Yiran for a long time, and Jiang Yiran refused to admit her mistake, which made them furious.

Jiang Qiaoqiao admitted her mistake as soon as she arrived, and her attitude satisfied them.

"I had my sister apologize to everyone, and I will also offer some compensation."

As Jiang Qiaoqiao spoke, she grabbed Jiang Yiran and commanded in a deep voice, "Apologize!"

Jiang Yiran originally thought that this matter had nothing to do with her anymore, but unexpectedly, Jiang Qiaoqiao brought it up again.

She was terrified and instinctively tried to resist.

But before she could make a move, Jiang Qiaoqiao grabbed her hair and forced her head down, yelling, "Apologize!"

After repeating herself, Jiang Qiaoqiao leaned close to Jiang Yiran's ear and whispered, "Look at Qin Haiyang. Do you think you can get away with this without apologizing and appeasing these people?"

Jiang Yiran's struggling movements suddenly stopped; Qin Haiyang had already attacked her.

She knew that she had embarrassed Qin Haiyang in front of these people today, especially since there were people from Qin Family Village among them.

Qin Haiyang was genuinely angry.

"I'm sorry," she said through gritted teeth.

She wasn't afraid of Jiang Qiaoqiao; she just didn't want to upset Qin Haiyang.

After all, she still has to be the wife of the richest man.

"Be sincere!" Jiang Qiaoqiao still held onto her tightly, even deliberately tugging at her hair.

"ah--"

She screamed in pain, and her eyes instantly turned red.

"I'm sorry, I was wrong, I was really wrong."

A hint of amusement flashed in Jiang Qiaoqiao's eyes.

He released Jiang Yiran, then took two ducks directly from Qin Haiyang's carrying pole and handed them to the leader of the group. "Comrades, my sister is young and doesn't know any better. She said the wrong thing, but now she knows she was wrong."

Please, everyone, be magnanimous and don't hold it against her. Consider these two ducks as compensation from my sister. Sell the ducks and buy a couple of bottles of soda to calm your nerves.

She smiled broadly, handed over two ducks, and spoke very politely.

Even if the other person was angry, it all disappeared.

Qin Hu patted Qin Haiyang on the shoulder earnestly, "Haiyang, your sister-in-law is a good person at handling things. You still need to teach your wife a lesson."

Qin Haiyang glared at Jiang Yiran with an extremely ugly expression.

That self-righteous, foolish woman speaks without thinking, causing him to lose two ducks for nothing and not even receive a kind word in return.

Jiang Yiran glared at Jiang Qiaoqiao, feeling so angry she felt like she was going to vomit blood.

She had just been relieved that Jiang Qiaoqiao had stepped in to take the blame.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Qiaoqiao was so resilient, not only forcing her to apologize but also using her family's ducks as a favor.

She gets all the good reputation, but suffers all the losses!

Jiang Qiaoqiao is really great!

tomorrow!

When she gets home tomorrow, she will definitely tell her parents and brother everything Jiang Qiaoqiao did today!

She wasn't going to swallow this insult so easily.

After everyone left, Qin Haiyang was unhappy, but he still maintained a facade of civility.

He politely thanked Jiang Qiaoqiao, "Thank you for helping me with this matter earlier. If you have time another day, please invite you and your husband to visit our home."

Upon hearing Qin Haiyang's words, Jiang Yiran found an outlet for her pent-up anger.

"Brother Haiyang, why are you being so polite to her?"

"Jiang Qiaoqiao, you bitch! How come I never realized you were so scheming before..."

"Shut up!"

Before Jiang Yiran could finish speaking, Qin Haiyang shouted angrily.

He angrily pulled Jiang Yiran along, and said apologetically to Jiang Qiaoqiao and Huo Beixiao, "Sister, brother-in-law, I'm sorry, Ranran is just like this, we'll be leaving now."

"Wow--"

To everyone's surprise, Jiang Yiran burst into tears as soon as he finished speaking. "Brother Haiyang, how are we going to explain this to Mom? The ducks are gone, and we haven't even gotten any money... Mom and the others are waiting for us to sell the ducks and buy rice to cook... Waaah..."

Qin Haiyang's face darkened even more.

He glanced at Jiang Qiaoqiao out of the corner of his eye without thinking.

For some reason, he just didn't want Jiang Qiaoqiao to know about the family's predicament.

Jiang Qiaoqiao's face remained expressionless; she knew the Qin family's situation all too well.

Qin's father was paralyzed in bed, Qin's mother was always causing trouble, and the eldest son and his wife were cunning and always hungry. When asked to do any work, they would complain of aches and pains.

The second son and his wife are quite good, but unfortunately they are hardworking but not very bright; they are just like workhorses.

Qin Haiyang was spoiled by his mother and was very lazy.

At most, they would only be willing to help with tasks like selling ducks, which were easy and allowed them to line their own pockets.

Jiang Qiaoqiao remained unmoved, but Huo Beixiao's brows furrowed slightly.

He glanced at Jiang Qiaoqiao, and finally took out five yuan from his pocket and handed it to Qin Haiyang. "Take this money and buy rice to take back. As for the two ducks that Qiaoqiao gave away earlier, consider them as money I bought them."

Qin Haiyang looked embarrassed and was about to refuse when Jiang Yiran rushed over and snatched the five yuan.

"Jiang Yiran!" Qin Haiyang called out to her anxiously, "You're not allowed to take your brother-in-law's money!"

Jiang Yiran said matter-of-factly, "Those two ducks were given away by Jiang Qiaoqiao, so they should buy them. Why shouldn't I take them?"

She tugged at Qin Haiyang, "Brother Haiyang, this money is what they should give us. Don't think about it too much, come on, let's hurry up and buy some rice to take back."

Qin Haiyang turned around and apologized to Huo Beixiao and Jiang Qiaoqiao, saying "I'm sorry," without insisting on returning the five yuan.

Jiang Qiaoqiao scoffed inwardly.

Qin Haiyang is that kind of person; he wants both money and dignity.

In her past life, she carried a heavy burden, earning money while protecting his pitiful self-esteem.

Jiang Yiran was hoping to become the wife of a billionaire through him in this lifetime, but she wanted to see how he could have it all.

After Qin Haiyang and Jiang Yiran had walked away, Jiang Qiaoqiao also turned and left without even glancing at Huo Beixiao.

Huo Beixiao felt a sudden panic and quickly chased after him.
