Chen Qiang's eyes flickered, still trying to argue, even trying to promise that he would treat Xie Fengxia well in the future and try not to get a divorce.

But Guo Tao didn't give him a chance to speak at all, and directly ordered his men to pick him up and beat him.

Guo Tao's men were all people who had followed him and Huo Beixiao from the black market in their early years. They were very skilled at beating people, and they immediately wrapped him in a cotton coat.

Then he was hit hard, each punch landing squarely on his skin, causing him excruciating pain, yet leaving no trace of injury.

Within minutes, Chen Qiang couldn't hold on any longer. He curled up on the ground and cried out, "Brother Tao, Brother Tao, stop hitting me! I'll leave! I'll leave as soon as I get back!"

Guo Tao gestured to the crowd, and they dispersed.

Guo Tao stepped forward and patted Chen Qiang's face. "That's more like it. Remember to leave when you get back, or next time I find you, it won't be as simple as just beating you up!"

Chen Qiang nodded vigorously.

Yang Qiaoqiao felt weak all over and stayed in bed until the man fed her lunch and she took a nap before getting up.

The clothing store wasn't open yet today, so she went to the garment factory for a stroll.

The garment factory workers are all very skilled at their jobs, including Wu Xiaocao, who just arrived yesterday; she is also doing her job in an orderly manner.

After Zhou Yang accompanied her to look at the patterns, he said with some difficulty, "Sister Qiaoqiao, Sister Fengxia isn't coming, and none of our workers know how to make patterns. For now, everyone can only make the patterns that Sister Fengxia made before."

"When are you free? Could you teach me how to make a pattern?"

Zhou Yang had already thought it through; it was never going to work for their factory to rely too much on one employee.

If Sister Qiao wants him to manage the factory, he needs to know every step of the process so that he can fill in immediately if any step is short-staffed.

Yang Qiaoqiao nodded, "Okay, since you're so willing, I'll teach you."

She made the right decision to save Zhou Yang and his sister.

Zhou Yang is not only clever and perceptive, but also willing to learn.

As long as this child doesn't go astray in the future, being her right-hand man will be no problem at all.

Zhou Yang learns things quickly; Yang Qiaoqiao taught him for an afternoon, and he had already learned most of it.

Yang Qiaoqiao patted his shoulder and said, "Practice more tomorrow, and when you're satisfied with what you've made, show it to me."

As Yang Qiaoqiao walked out of the garment factory, Huo Beixiao was already waiting for her outside.

The man was unrestrained this morning, causing her to have back pain and weak legs all day. She had to walk very carefully in the factory, afraid that others would notice something was amiss.

Upon seeing the man, she didn't give him a friendly look, didn't want to talk to him, glared at him reproachfully, and left.

Huo Beixiao knew he had gone too far this morning, so he quickly stepped forward to appease his wife and took her hand. "Honey, I was wrong. I shouldn't have come in the morning... I promise, from now on I will only come in the evening and never come in the morning again."

"young married woman……"

Yang Qiaoqiao: ...

She really couldn't stand this man's coquettishness.

She turned around and glared at him fiercely, "How's the thing I asked you to do going?"

Huo Beixiao immediately grinned like he owned the place, took Yang Qiaoqiao's hand and said, "Wife, I just came to report this to you. The mission has been successfully completed!"

Yang Qiaoqiao gave the man a playful glare before getting into the car with him. "Let's go to the hospital and see Fengxia."

With Xie Fengxia's skills and understanding of garment making, if she further her studies and accumulates more experience, she will definitely become a key technical member capable of supporting a large factory.

She can't let go of such a talented person.

As soon as Yang Qiaoqiao and Huo Beixiao arrived outside Xie Fengxia's ward, they heard Xie Jiulin's tense voice coming from inside, "Chen Qiang, what do you want to do? Stay away from my sister, or I'll make you regret it!"

When Xie Fengxia saw Chen Qiang, the light in her eyes, which had been smiling when she was talking to Xie Jiulin, vanished instantly, and she instinctively curled up into a ball.

Xie Jiulin tenderly shielded his sister behind him.

"Smack!"

The next moment, they heard a loud slap coming from the ward.

Yang Qiaoqiao hurriedly tried to step forward.

Huo Beixiao pulled her behind him.

Yang Qiaoqiao peeked out from behind Huo Beixiao and realized that it wasn't Xie Jiulin and Chen Qiang fighting, but rather Chen Qiang standing dejectedly in front of Xie Fengxia's hospital bed, slapping himself across the face.

"Fengxia, I'm not human! I'm an animal! It was all my fault before, please be magnanimous and don't hold it against me."

"Smack!"

Another crisp slap rang out.

Chen Qiang stepped forward, getting closer to Xie Fengxia, who shrank back even further.

Xie Jiulin grabbed a metal thermos flask, held it in one hand, and pointed at Chen Qiang with the other, saying, "Don't come any closer! If you come any closer, I'll kill you!"

Chen Qiang quickly raised both hands, "Okay, okay, I won't go over there, brother-in-law, don't be impulsive."

"Brother-in-law, Fengxia, your family has connections with Brother Tao, why didn't you tell me sooner? Look at this misunderstanding." Chen Qiang rubbed his hands and said, "Brother Tao told me today that Fengxia doesn't want to be with me anymore and wants a divorce, right?"

Xie Jiulin and Xie Fengxia exchanged a glance; their family didn't know anyone named Brother Tao.

But both of them knew that it was Yang Qiaoqiao who had intimidated Chen Qiang.

Xie Jiulin felt more confident and said, "Yes, my sister wants a divorce."

"Divorce, definitely!" Chen Qiang said immediately. "A beast like me is not worthy of Fengxia."

"Brother-in-law, Fengxia, look, the Civil Affairs Bureau hasn't reopened yet. Let's get a divorce once Fengxia has recovered and the Civil Affairs Bureau is open, okay?"
