Chapter 116
Ji Hebai was practicing calligraphy. The tip of the pen in his hand turned blue due to the strength of the pen and the owner's emotions, and the pen shaft seemed to be breaking. However, he did not react at all and continued to practice calligraphy absent-mindedly.
And look towards the door from time to time.
After a long time, the brush made a snapping sound and was broken in the middle by him.
"What's going on?" Luo Xiu was dumbfounded. "Isn't it just that I didn't reply to you? Isn't it normal for a widow not to reply to you? Why are you so cranky all day long?"
Ji Hebai stared at the broken brush in a daze.
Last time, he suddenly wanted to tease her, which resulted in this situation. She realized that he was the pen pal whose pen name was "้นค". He had guessed various reactions from Zhong Qiao, even disgust. However, what broke his defense was that Zhong Qiao chose to ignore him.
What a miscalculation.
As a result, he is now uneasy because of the letter that was sent.
It is really hard to say who tortures whom.
"You talk too much nonsense." Ji Hebai took back the broken brush.
"Also, don't call her a widow."
"Look at this, look at this protective face of his." Luo Xiu couldn't bear to watch it. "Ji Hebai, when you returned to China this time, I knew you had bad intentions, but I really didn't expect you to rush to find Zhong Qiao."
"Why hang yourself on a tree? There are so many women out there. What kind of woman do you want? I'll find one for you."
Ji Hebai's eyebrows jumped because of his noise: "Okay, how is the thing I asked you to do going?"
Luo Xiu really couldn't persuade him, so he had to give up.
"Oh, you mean that matter? I almost forgot about it if you hadn't mentioned it. Don't worry, your second uncle will be there to arrange for you to join the army, and my dad will guarantee it. There will be absolutely no problem. Even if your parents find out, you will have already joined the army by then, and they can't do anything to you."
Ji Hebai nodded and couldn't help but think of what the person in the dream said to him before.
In the previous life, the Ji family was retaliated by their enemies and was burned down in a fire overnight. Even he himself had half of his arm and face burned, and his parents and sister were all killed in the fire. The only clue to such a deep blood feud points to the above.
Since his father's official position was particularly important, it was very likely that the attacker was someone close to him, and he must have known his family very well. Otherwise, given his parents' caution, it would have been impossible for them to be completely unprepared and be stabbed fatally and then burned to death.
He joined the army, on the one hand to investigate the truth of his past life, and on the other hand he was wondering if that person was spying on his every move in secret?
Then, it would not be in vain for him to go to so much trouble these days and deliberately conceal it through his father.
To lure the snake out of its hole, if that person can't sit still, he will reveal his true colors, and all he has to do is sit back and wait.

Since buying a sewing machine last time, Zhong Qiao has prepared all the props. As for the workplace, due to lack of funds, he can only rent one in an abandoned warehouse nearby.
Although it is an abandoned warehouse, Zhong Qiao keeps it very clean.
When several people from Dahe Village arrived at the warehouse nervously, they were attracted by the brand new sewing machines and tools.
In addition, Zhong Qiao also specially invited a master craftsman to supervise the production of sample clothes to avoid any mistakes.
Several of them had experience as female workers, and the master arranged several small steps to test the abilities of each of them before finally assigning them positions.
A moment later, busy sounds were heard in the warehouse.
According to the design drawings given by Zhong Qiao, a sample garment can be completed in about a few days. Everyone worked hard. Zhong Qiao was afraid that they would be hungry, so he brought bread and water from home.
"How can we do that?" said a girl with pigtails. "You've already paid us enough. How can we still ask for your things?"
Jin Gui smiled brightly: "Sister Zhong Qiao asked you to take some food, so just take it all. Don't let her kindness go to waste."
The girls were all a little shy, looking at each other but not daring to come forward.
Zhong Qiao sighed and distributed the bread and water. "Just work hard. Eating a few breads won't mean much. If you do well in the future, there will be new rewards and compensation."
Several young girls were even happier after hearing this. On the one hand, they were happy that they were with such a generous boss, but on the other hand, they were also sad. Their families were average, and two of them even took private jobs without their families' knowledge, so they had no money on them and even had problems with eating.
They originally thought that they would not eat at noon and would just get through it, but they did not expect that the female boss was so considerate and even prepared food for them. If it were somewhere else, they would have treated them like donkeys in the production team.
"Eat, eat."
Zhong Qiao greeted them and looked at these young and green girls in front of him, feeling emotional. Fortunately, he was divorced, otherwise how could he have such an opportunity to meet people of the same age and start a business.
Several young girls did not hesitate and took the cakes and started eating them. After a few bites, someone noticed something was wrong.
There's still stuffing inside!
The skin is baked to a golden and crispy texture, and inside is filled with fragrant chives. It probably tastes especially delicious because of the lard added.
"Delicious." Several girls ate voraciously. It was obviously an ordinary pancake, but the taste was different after adding lard.
Zhong Qiao handed over the water: "Don't be polite, don't choke, eat slowly, there is more here, rest for an hour after eating before working again."
The girls thanked him repeatedly.
Zhong Qiao left all other matters to Jingui. As for her, she had to go back to see Wanwan at the appointed time.
During this period, Wanwan has grown very fast. Her originally chubby little face has gradually shown her facial features, and she likes to stick to Zhong Qiao more and more. No matter who comes, it won't work.
Zhong Qiao was riding her bicycle and had not yet stepped into the house when suddenly, a flower pot flew from mid-air and hit her directly. She immediately turned sideways and the flower pot passed directly over her forehead.
Zhong Qiao could vaguely feel the stinging pain on her forehead, but she did not scream or cry out. Instead, her eyes gradually turned cold as she looked at Zhong Hua and others standing in the yard.
Led by my third aunt, several people stood in the yard, looking like they were ready to call someone to account. The one who had taken action earlier was Zhong Hua, who was hiding behind them and looking very proud.
If you look closely, you can see the malice and jealousy in her eyes.
"Zhong Qiao, you bitch! You're hanging out outside all day and night, bringing shame to our family!" Zhong Hua yelled exaggeratedly, using her usual harsh rhetoric to deliberately target her. She always thought she could overwhelm Zhong Qiao with these chastity arches.
Zhong Qiao didn't say anything, her eyes were as cold as ice. After a long time, she squatted down, picked up the broken pots on the ground, and without even shaking off the dirt on them, she suddenly stood up, and then, in front of Zhong Hua's incredible and then horrified eyes, she smashed them hard.
It took a lot of strength.
