Chapter 85 Family in the Village

Chen Juan wiped her tears and went into the chicken coop.

In no time, he caught all six chickens and tied their feet.

The two found a basket, put the chicken in it, and carried it out. When they passed Feng Yuefen's door, Xu Yuxiang heard the chicken crow and rushed out. Seeing the two people carrying the chicken, she was furious: "Su Jiaojiao, you are rebellious! Who told you to catch the chicken?"

"It's my chicken, I can catch it whenever I want." Su Jiaojiao was even more unreasonable to unreasonable people. "Why? You want it?"

"What do you mean we want it?" Xu Yuxiang glared at Chen Juan angrily, then said to Su Jiaojiao, "It's almost Chinese New Year, and every family keeps a chicken to entertain guests. And you're just giving it to an outsider like that?"

Chen Juan lowered her head and remained silent.

She knew that Su Jiaojiao's grandmother was powerful, but she didn't expect her to be so powerful.

"My sister isn't an outsider, you are." Su Jiaojiao sneered, "You should discuss how to marry a new daughter-in-law instead of interfering in my chickens!"

"You..." Xu Yuxiang was so angry that she couldn't speak. She knew that if she continued to talk to this ignorant girl, she was afraid that she would shout it out so that the whole village would know about it. Thinking of this, she slammed the door and went back to the house cursing.

"Sister, let's go." Su Jiaojiao wasn't angry. She looked nonchalant as she and Chen Juan carried the chicken to their second uncle's house. On the way, Chen Juan was a little nervous, "What if your grandma comes to my house again to ask for the chicken?"

"Just tell her I sold it to you for a hundred yuan." Su Jiaojiao was amused by her. "Don't worry, she's too proud to ask for it."

"By the way, how's the restaurant going?" Su Jiaojiao asked her again.

"I was just about to tell you about this!" Chen Juan said cheerfully, "It's pretty good. The boss is very easygoing. He accepts all the goods I send him. I can now earn more than 20 yuan a day!"

She collects conches in the village every day.

Then I deliver it to the restaurant. Although it’s hard work and requires getting up early, I can make money.

The important thing is that she has free time and can take care of the family.

"That's good." Su Jiaojiao was also very happy. "You do it first, and we'll talk about it when you get a good job."

Chen Juan is content to earn more than 20 yuan a day: "This is good enough. I can take care of my family."

After settling the chickens, Su Jiaojiao went into the house again to take a look. Apart from the sewing machine, there was really nothing worth taking. Chen Guilan had come back several times and brought back all the clothes she could wear. They no longer cared about the rest. If Xu Yuxiang wanted them, she could take them!

After locking the door, Su Jiaojiao prepared to go to the west end of the village to take a taxi back.

Chen Juan came over with a bag of radishes and a bicycle: "I'll take you home."

"No, no, I'll take the bus back." Su Jiaojiao didn't want Chen Juan to see her off, but she couldn't refuse her kindness. "How about you take me to the village entrance and we can talk."

Wutong Village is located in a relatively low-lying area.

The road to the west end of the village required climbing a large slope. It had just snowed, and the road was slippery. Chen Juan was pushing her bicycle with a bag of radishes on the back seat, slipping every three steps as she walked forward. Su Jiaojiao simply held her bicycle and said, "Sister, just drop me off here. Going uphill is easy, but going downhill is hard. I was worried you'd fall!"

"It's okay. I went the same way when I went to deliver goods this morning." Chen Juan said she was not afraid. "If I don't send you off, I'll take you to the station. This bag of radishes is quite heavy. You'll need to buy everything when you're outside." "You also saw that there's a vegetable vendor next to us, and we have leftover vegetables." Su Jiaojiao was telling the truth. Chen Xiaoqing and Tian Erzhu were really generous. They would stuff the leftover vegetables into their house. She had been eating cabbage and radishes for a week, and they were almost spoiled.

"This is something we grow at home. It's delicious." Chen Juan was afraid that she wouldn't take it. "You can put it in the car. It's not heavy."

"Okay, I'll take it." Su Jiaojiao picked up the bag of radishes and weighed it. It was indeed quite heavy. "You really don't have to take me to the station. I'd feel bad if you did."

If I send her off again, she will feel embarrassed to take a taxi.

To be honest, she no longer feels bad about spending ten or eight dollars on taxi fare.

She just didn't want to take a taxi in front of Chen Juan.

"Okay, then I won't see you off." Chen Juan was a down-to-earth person. She stopped at the bottom of the slope and said, "Come back with your aunt for the New Year, and we'll celebrate together."

"Let me discuss it with my mom first!" Su Jiaojiao hasn't decided where to spend the New Year, but the house is hers now, and she can come back for the New Year at any time. But she still has to clean up the house when she comes back, which is another busy time. Let's see what her mother thinks then!

Feng Yuefen had just returned from the fields when she saw Su Jiaojiao get into a green taxi and drive away. She was very surprised. How come this girl was so rich?

When she got home, she told Xu Yuxiang about Su Jiaojiao's taxi ride. Xu Yuxiang was still angry at Su Jiaojiao's rebuke, but after hearing what she said, she became even angrier: "How could we know about her? I think she's probably learned bad habits."

People go to work by bicycle every day.

No one is like Su Jiaojiao, who always takes taxis or associates with people who drive cars.

"I noticed something was wrong last time. I saw that man was about the same age as Houli. I don't know what Chen Guilan was thinking, letting her daughter associate with a man like that." Feng Yuefen was referring to the time when Ju Peijun and his mother came. "Jinbao saw it too. They brought a lot of gifts. Who would give them things for no reason?"

Haha, he also said he was doing business in the snack street.

What kind of business is this? It's obvious that they are messing around outside.

"The mother and daughter didn't learn their lessons outside, and Su Jiaojiao is becoming more and more out of tune." Xu Yuxiang was sure that Su Jiaojiao had learned bad things. "When Houli comes back, I'll tell him that if they come back to the village in the future, they must behave themselves and either walk back or ride a bicycle. They don't feel ashamed, but I do!"

Su Jiaojiao took a taxi from Wutong Village all the way to Wujiaohua Company.

As soon as she got off the car, she saw Liang Kun's motorcycle parked at the door.

Liang Kun and Chen Guilan were chatting when they saw Su Jiaojiao come in. Liang Kun said with a smile, "Speaking of the devil, here comes the devil! Auntie just said you'd be back soon."

"My cousin is such a rare guest." Su Jiaojiao moved a stool over and sat down, warming her hands on the electric heater. "What kind of work do you do today?"

"Night shift." Liang Kun pointed to the inner room and coughed lightly, "I brought my partner here to look at down jackets, and I didn't expect to run into my aunt."

"I didn't recognize him when he first came in." Chen Guilan pointed to the inner room and said to Su Jiaojiao with a smile, "Your sister-in-law is trying on a down jacket in there."

As soon as he finished speaking, a girl with long hair wearing a long light pink down jacket came out and turned around in front of Liang Kun: "Does it look good?"

"It looks good." Liang Kun nodded vigorously and asked Su Jiaojiao, "Do you think your sister-in-law looks good in this down jacket?"
