Chapter 37 My husband said! My husband said! My husband said!

"Yan Ruo! Is it really you? My mom said you were back, but I didn't believe it. I didn't expect it to be true!"

Yan Ruo looked up and saw the young woman wearing a designer suit, with her long hair curled into waves. Even in the dim light, her exquisite makeup could still be seen.

The face looked very familiar, and the name was almost on the tip of my tongue, but I couldn't say it out.

The most embarrassing moment when you go back to your hometown is when your childhood playmate or former classmate recognizes you at first sight, but you don’t remember her name at all.

Seeing the other party approaching, he picked up the little girl and looked at her with a smile on his face.

Yan Ruo smiled awkwardly but politely, avoiding the main point.

"Yeah, it's been a while since I came back! Is this your child? So cute!"

The young woman held the child in one hand and touched her hair with the other.

"Yeah! Everyone says you look like me and will be very beautiful when you grow up!"

"Haha!" As soon as he spoke, Yan Ruo felt that the person in front of him was more familiar.

The young woman looked her up and down, and although she was dressed simply, the material and cut of her clothes were good, so she pouted secretly.

"I heard from my uncle and aunt that you work at the North City Group. How come you have time to come back at this time? Is your company on holiday for such a long time?"

Yan Ruo didn't expect that she knew him so well. It seemed that they were very familiar with each other.

"Oh! Work was too tiring, so I quit some time ago!"

"I quit! Then you're unemployed, right?" The young woman's expression was exaggerated, but she couldn't hide the excitement in her eyes.

"It's hard to find a job nowadays. How about I ask my husband to find you a job?"

Without giving Yan Ruo a chance to speak, the young woman spoke to herself:

"After all, you graduated from a prestigious university and have worked for a large company. Although there are few job opportunities in the county, don't worry. We grew up together, and I will definitely help you with this!"

The tone of voice and the way he shows off all the time.

Although the face in front of him was slightly different from the one in his memory, Yan Ruo was certain in his heart that she was Yan Huiqi.

Yan Ruo has been well-behaved and obedient since childhood. She is good-looking and even better at studying.

Parents in the village like to use Yan Ruo as a role model when educating their children.

Things like, "Look how well-behaved Yan Ruo is! Look how good Yan Ruo is at studying! You should learn more from Yan Ruo..." and so on.

Yan Ruo's peers in the village are all tired of hearing it.

The end result was that, from childhood to adulthood, Yan Ruo could never make friends in the village!

Being all under Yan Ruo's shadow, other children kept their distance from her and refused to play with her. Only Yan Huiqi always wanted to compete with her.

Who has better grades; who looks better; who has more friends.

The result was that Yan Ruo narrowly won 2-1.

Of course, this all happened before high school. After the high school entrance exam, both of them were admitted to key high schools, but Yan Ruo was in the key class while Yan Huiqi was in the regular class.

In addition, due to the heavy study pressure in high school, the two of them rarely met each other except for the one-month vacation when they went home.

After going to college or even working, we didn’t see each other for several years.

Two years ago, when Yan's mother called, she said that Yan Huiqi was married. Her husband's family was well-off and had a big business in the county.

No wonder he always wants to introduce her to a job.

Yan Ruo curled the corner of his mouth and said casually: "Don't bother, I have already negotiated with a company in South City. I will go and apply for the job after I have rested enough."

Yan Huiqi didn't believe it at all.

"We all grew up together, so don't be embarrassed!"

"My mom told me you've been selling dried bamboo shoots online lately. How much money can you make? Plus, after this month, there won't be many bamboo shoots left on the mountain!"

"I know you've been a good student since childhood and graduated from a nationally renowned university. You might not be interested in ordinary jobs."

"But the current environment is like this! My husband said that many large companies are laying off employees. These laid-off employees are used to working in large companies. After leaving, the big companies don't want them, and the small companies don't like them. In the end, they can only find jobs that are neither high-end nor low-end to make a living."

At this point, she tentatively said:

"Yan Ruo, you're not going to be laid off too, are you?"

He said with a fake smile, "Don't get me wrong, I'm just curious! We're all so familiar with each other, just tell me the truth, and I won't laugh at you!"

Yan Ruo frowned. Could it be that Yan Huiqi came back at this time just to laugh at her?

"Thank you for your concern!" She said with a fake smile:

"But I did find a job in South City. I even bought a house and am currently renovating it!"

"You bought a house in South City?" Yan Huiqi seemed to be in disbelief. "How come I've never heard of it!"

Yan Ruo was a little speechless. Do you think everyone is like your family? When something happens, they can't wait to shout it out so that the whole village knows.

Soon, Yan Huiqi looked concerned, but if you looked closely, you could even see a little contempt.

"You bought your house in Nancheng with a loan, right?"

"Hey~ It's not easy to be a mortgage slave! You don't have a job now, and you still dare to take out a mortgage? You're really brave! Don't let your uncle and aunt, who are so old, help you pay off the debt!"

If they weren't all from the same village and knew each other every day, Yan Ruzhen would have wanted to turn around and leave.

She patiently explained, "I bought it in full, so I don't have to pay back the loan!"

"Full payment!" Yan Huiqi smiled dryly.

"Salaries in big cities are just so high! I've always been told you've been lucky since you were little! Look, after graduation you joined a big group like Xu's. After working for a few years, you can buy a house outright!"

"But since the salary is so high, why do you want to quit?"

Yan Ruo patiently replied, "It's a big company, the work pressure is too great!"

Yan Huiqi immediately accepted this explanation and nodded in agreement.

"Indeed, no matter how high the salary is, you are still working for someone else. You have to look after their mood and can only be exploited by them."

"No wonder my husband said, despite the glamorous life of those white-collar workers in the city, it's really not as comfortable as being your own boss at home, and you earn just as much as them!"

"Haha, yeah! Your husband is right!" She pointed to her phone and said, "Sorry, something happened. I have to go back first!"

Yan Huiqi was chatting excitedly and said a little unhappily.

"You're unemployed, what could be wrong? We haven't seen each other for so many years, it's so rare that we can chat for a while."

"Ayu is looking for me, probably to talk about the decoration. I'm leaving first!" After saying this, Yan Ruo walked home while answering the phone.

On the other end of the phone, Chi Yu's face was full of confusion.

[Ruoruo, what are you doing? Why did you ask me to call you? Are you at home being pressured into getting married by a bunch of relatives?]

Yan Ruo glanced back inconspicuously and saw Yan Huiqi walking in the opposite direction with the child in her arms. She probably couldn't hear her talking.

Then he lowered his voice and said, "It's like being surrounded by a bunch of relatives and being urged to get married! I just met Yan Huiqi!"

[What? Yan Huiqi!] That voice, even through the phone, made Yan Ruo's ears hurt!

I looked around with lingering fear, and only felt relieved when I saw that there was no one else around. [Why are you so excited because I met Yan Huiqi?]

"Of course I'm excited, Yan Huiqi!" Chi Yu said excitedly, "You forgot, back in high school, she always liked to come up to you and make sarcastic remarks."

"Really? I don't remember much, she's been like this since she was little! I'm used to it!"

Chi Yu, [So what did she just say to you? She even asked me to save you from this difficult situation!]

Yan Ruo sighed, [She mocked me for being unemployed, showed off her husband, and even said she would find me a job!]

Chi Yu snorted, "When you and Xu Shaoyu were together, you should have made it public! No matter how powerful her husband is, he can't be as powerful as Xu Shaoyu."

Yan Ruo, [Forget it! She'll have to comfort me about getting dumped! Oh, by the way, the renovation company is going to start work in a few days, could you please keep an eye on it for me?]
