A love rival appears

The old lady had already found a house, and the eldest daughter-in-law moved in first to serve her. Song Xiaojuan went to meet them on the day they moved in.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Li Cuifen also didn't say anything. Anyway, she had fulfilled her responsibilities.

When Song Xiaojuan returned home that night, she was hanging her bag at the door. She turned around and saw Zhao Guomin coming out of the bedroom with a red face: "You have a fever, your face is so red."

Zhao Guomin frowned. "No, I slept. The boss called me this afternoon and said another sapling had died."

"Ah! Has the agricultural expert returned? Let's take him to see it right away." Song Xiaojuan became anxious when she heard this.

"Not back yet. I have to go back tomorrow."

"That won't work. If you go back and can't find the reason yourself, it would be a waste of time." Song Xiaojuan poured him a glass of water.

"She's not alone. Li Fengjiang introduced me to a girl who he said was a recent graduate from the Agricultural College. He asked her to go back with me to take a look." Zhao Guomin took a sip of water from Song Xiaojuan's hand.

"Tsk! You're so lazy." Song Xiaojuan pretended to pat him.

Song Xiaojuan got up early the next day and packed his clothes: "You have to stay at home for a few days, so I'll get you a few more clothes."

Zhao Guomin was in the bathroom and it took him a long time to say "hmm" before he said it.

After Zhao Guomin left, she was alone at home. When she was busy, she didn't feel anything, but when she got home at night, she felt bored.

I called Zhao Guomin and chatted with him two nights ago. He didn't answer my call last night, and he called back around ten o'clock.

It is said that he discussed it with the agricultural "expert",

Song Xiaojuan didn't take it to heart, so she didn't call him today, and he didn't reply either.

Zhao Guomin was indeed busy. Li Fengjiang introduced this person who graduated from an agricultural college. She had just graduated and was asked to go to the field to look at the saplings. She didn't say anything, just said she was taking a look.

Zhao Guomin didn't say anything. He asked her to go back and take a look the next day. She said there might be something wrong with the soil.

Zhao Guomin felt that she was young and unreliable, but there was no other way now, so he could only give it a try.

"Brother Guomin, I just went to see the land in Dongshan again, and I found that its soil is the same as that in Xishan. It's okay to press Dongshan. Maybe I made a mistake before. I'm sorry." Yang Yue stared with a pair of big eyes, looking like she was about to cry.

Zhao Guomin:... Isn't this bullshit?

Seeing that Zhao Guomin looked unhappy, Yang Yue secretly wiped away her tears.

At first, when Director Li introduced her to go to the countryside to help look after the fruit trees, she was quite reluctant.

It was not until I met Zhao Guomin at the bus station that I found him quite handsome. After coming to the village, I heard that he had been a soldier and now runs his own fruit shop and has bought a house in the county.

Yang Yue secretly kept it in mind.

When I heard that he was getting married, I was a little disappointed, but then I heard that his wife was from the same village, so she probably didn't have much education.

She was secretly delighted again.

In fact, she had noticed the problem with the sapling a long time ago, but she kept putting it off just to spend a few more days with Zhao Guomin.

"Brother Guomin, why don't we eat first? I suddenly remembered that our teacher seemed to have talked about this situation in class before."

Zhao Guomin glanced at her and said, "It's too late. Let's talk about it tomorrow. One night won't make a difference."

Yang Yue twisted her sleeves, her face flushed, and she said shyly, "Can you please take me off to the National Song? I don't dare to go alone."

Zhao Guomin arranged for her to live with the third brother.

Zhao Guomin played the role of a straight man to the fullest: "You were not afraid when you came here, so why should you be afraid of going back? Besides, it's just two steps." He is a man and knows exactly what the other party means.

The reason why we didn't chase her away was that the fruit trees had not recovered and some of them were even withering. There was no better way now, so we could only let her stay.

I called Song Xiaojuan in the evening and told her about the situation.

Song Xiaojuan didn't know that someone was trying to steal her away, and she was worried at home.

The next day when she went to look for a store, she was listless and her mind was full of things, so she didn't look at the road and bumped into someone head-on. Song Xiaojuan quickly apologized.

"Song Xiaojuan" a familiar voice sounded beside him.

When Song Xiaojuan looked up, she saw a slightly fat woman. She looked familiar, but she couldn't remember where she was.

The other party laughed self-deprecatingly: "I am An Lu, remember?"

Even though Song Xiaojuan is usually very reserved, she was so surprised that she was speechless.

The woman in front of him was completely different from An Lu a few years ago. She had a fat body, greasy hair combed casually behind her head, and her clothes were also casually matched.

How could the sweet little princess become like this? Her mother just let her do whatever she wanted.

"I came to buy something." Song Xiaojuan found her voice again.

An Lu nodded: "Yeah, I bought two pieces of clothes for the kids. Are you still selling clothes?"

"Well, if you want to buy clothes in the future, you can go upstairs. The location has not changed." Song Xiaojuan didn't say much.

"Oh, you are the owner of that shop, how awesome." The latter sentence was said in a low voice.

Song Xiaojuan just pursed her lips: "How is your mother doing recently?"

An Lu was silent for a moment before answering, "She passed away."

"I'm... sorry, when did this happen?" Song Xiaojuan really didn't expect it to be like this. An Lu's mother was one of the women she admired. She didn't feel upset, but she was more or less shocked.

An Lu seemed to be used to it: "The year after I gave birth to my child, let's not talk about this anymore, you got married, right?"

"Well, didn't Zhao Wenhua tell you?"

An Lu's eyes dimmed when Zhao Wenhua was mentioned: "No, he's living with someone else and doesn't come home anymore."

"What about your father? Doesn't he care about it?" Although Zhao Wenhua is not a good person, he wouldn't dare to do this with his father-in-law putting pressure on him.

An Lu sneered, "My dad, he has his own family to take care of and a son to raise. How could he care about me? Besides, his factory still needs Zhao Wenhua's help to run it." She wiped away a tear and said, "I'm sorry, maybe I'm more sentimental after having a child."

"Your father's...son is that one." Song Xiaojuan wondered if she was talking about Li Yulan's son.

An Lu knew what she wanted to ask: "It was his new wife who gave birth to the child. Li Yulan's son was raised by my grandmother."

So that's how it was. At this time, Zhao Guomin called her and told her that the problem had not been solved yet, and asked Song Xiaojuan to go and see if the agricultural expert had returned.

Song Xiaojuan didn't turn her back to An Lu when she answered the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Song Xiaojuan handed An Lu a business card: "If you need any help in the future, you can come to me. I have something to do and I'll leave first."

"Song Xiaojuan! I... just heard you say you want to find an agricultural expert, right?" An Lu asked timidly.

When Song Xiaojuan heard this, she thought that she might have connections, so she told An Lu about the situation.

An Lu pursed her lips. "I have a friend whose father is in agriculture, so he should understand this. She's the girl who went to your place with me to buy clothes. Do you remember her?"

Song Xiaojuan had forgotten it long ago: "Oh, I remember, but I don't know him..." she hesitated.

"Let me ask for you. Her father is very good at this."

Song Xiaojuan took An Lu to her clothing store, which was a quiet place.

When the shop assistants saw Song Xiaojuan, they all stood up quickly and said, "Mr. Song!"

Song Xiaojuan waved her hand and took An Lu upstairs.

An Lu was still in shock: "This is the store you opened. It's very popular recently. Many friends have come here."

Song Xiaojuan just smiled and said, "Can I call your friend now?"

An Lu nodded, called and explained the situation to her friend. The friend said she would ask her father and call back later.

After hanging up the phone, An Lu looked at Song Xiaojuan with envy. She still remembered the first time she met Song Xiaojuan, her face was rough and dark, she was wearing a pair of rubber shoes, and she looked very rustic.

At that time, she was still very proud of herself. Later, when I saw her again, she was selling clothes and setting up stalls in the city. Although she was more fashionable than when she was in the countryside, she was just an employee after all.

In just a few years, this woman has become unattainable, and even a simple dress looks elegant on her.

Before Zhao Wenhua cheated on his wife, he would mock Song Xiaojuan at home at first, but later he stopped saying that for some reason.

The friend called very quickly and said that her father could go and help take a look.

Song Xiaojuan wanted to go as soon as possible, so she made an appointment with the other party to go together tomorrow.

After seeing An Lu off, Song Xiaojuan checked the bill in the store.

Liu Yan brought her a glass of water: "It has mint in it, it's refreshing and will cool you down."

Liu Yan is no longer the factory girl she used to be. Now she can match clothes for sale, she can speak well, she earns a lot of money, and she has found a boyfriend in the city.

All of this was given to her by Song Xiaojuan, and she was especially grateful to Song Xiaojuan.

Everyone else calls Song Xiaojuan Ms. Song, but she still keeps the original name of Sister Song.

Song Xiaojuan asked her while drinking water, how are these shop assistants?

"They're all pretty good, but there's one girl who's a bit too cunning. She likes to steal other people's customers. She'd interrupt them right in the middle of a conversation, saying she'd changed her mind several times. Then, when a female customer brought a man over, she'd start a conversation with him. Someone even had a disturbance in the store because of this."

Song Xiaojuan put down her cup, frowning: "Quit immediately!"

"Well, I talked to her last time, and she said that several younger brothers at home were waiting for her to earn money. She vowed to change, so I gave her another chance." Liu Yan felt a little embarrassed that she had not handled the matter well.

"Call your store manager out! Is this how you teach your employees not to steal?" Suddenly there was a noise downstairs.

Then I heard a few popping sounds, followed by screams of "Ah! Ah!"

The two of them quickly got up and ran downstairs. There were shop assistants and customers downstairs, all talking in a flurry.

Song Xiaojuan stood on the stairs and said sternly, "Stop it! What's going on?"

The crowd instantly fell silent, all looking toward the stairwell. The clerk was the first to react: "Our CEO, Mr. Song, is here. If you have anything to say, you can speak to him."

A woman in a red dress came out and looked at Song Xiaojuan: "You are the owner of this store, and this is how you educate your employees?"

Song Xiaojuan didn't expect that it was Qiu Yao who was causing the trouble. She suppressed her surprise, walked down and looked at the other person straight in the eye: "First of all, I don't know what happened. Secondly, she is just an employee. I have no right to educate her about her values." Song Xiaojuan said in a neither humble nor arrogant tone.
