Chapter 113: No Good Intentions

Zheng Lanhua knew that she couldn’t give the silver bracelet away today. She glared at Fang Xiaoluo, “You are 70 years old and want to wear gold and silver. Go find your man. I only make a few dollars a year. I can’t afford to give it to you.”

Fang Xiaoluo’s eyes widened. “Then you dare to give the silver bracelet away? You don’t have any money left for yourself. What if I turn around and dislike you and kick you out? How will you live? Are you going to go out and beg for food?”

Fang Xiaoluo’s jokes made Zheng Lanhua feel much more relaxed.

She rewrapped the silver bracelet and stood up, "I can't argue with you, I won't send you off."

Seeing Zheng Lanhua leave, Fang Xiaoluo looked at Yu Xiaopang beside him, "Come to play with Xia Xia?"

Yu Xiaopang nodded, then shook his head, "I came to see if my second brother is okay."

Shen Haiping, who was eating silently, raised his head, "I'm much better."

Yu Xiaopang's eyes widened, "Second brother, you...you said something?"

He was flattered.

Shen Haiping lowered his head shyly and continued to drink the porridge.

Shen Jinxia jumped off the chair, "My mother cured my second brother."

Yu Xiaopang looked at Fang Xiaoluo with admiration in his eyes, "Auntie, you are so great."

Fang Xiaoluo waved at them, "Okay, go play if you want."

At noon, Xu Yaqiu came out of the factory after work, and Xu Chengwen was waiting at the door.

This morning, Xu Chengwen was very anxious. In the past, Xu Zhigang was in charge of the affairs of his family's wood factory. Although he came to the factory every day, he was lazy whenever he could. Even if Xu Zhigang talked to him, he just listened with one ear and let it out with the other.

Now that Xu Zhigang is not here, everything is in chaos in the factory and at home. There is not much work in the wood factory now, and he lost a customer in the morning.

When Xu Zhigang comes out, the factory will not know what to do. How will his family live?

He is waiting for news from Xu Yaqiu.

Xu Yaqiu vowed last night that Zhou Ping would definitely help, so he hurried over to inquire about the news.

Seeing Xu Yaqiu coming out, Xu Chengwen hurried over to greet him.

"Yaqiu."

Xu Yaqiu felt heavy in his heart, "Brother."

Xu Chengwen pulled Xu Yaqiu aside, "What did your father-in-law say? Did he go to inquire?"

Xu Yaqiu had no choice but to tell Xu Chengwen what Zhou Ping said.

"They are all excuses!" Xu Chengwen was very angry and punched the wall beside him. "He is such a big factory director, where can he not have a say? They all know the director of the Public Security Bureau and they are polite to each other. How come he can't have a say in a police station?"

Xu Yaqiu thought so too, but Zhou Ping insisted that it was useless.

Xu Chengwen looked Xu Yaqiu up and down, "Yaqiu, you really disappoint me. Your parents brought you back from the countryside, and you can't even handle such a small matter. I really don't know how you got by in the Zhou family!"

"Who was there promising last night that you would get things done today? I think you are just talking big. In fact, the Zhou family doesn't take you seriously at all! They really can't count on you for anything!"

Xu Chengwen didn't even give Xu Yaqiu a chance to explain, and he angrily threw his sleeves and left.

Xu Yaqiu was also angry, and her stomach hurt.

She couldn't go back to her parents' home, so she could only go back to her own home at noon.

When she got home, she found that Zhou Ping and Qian Haixia were not at home, and they were obviously avoiding her.

What's more, Zhou Yanwen was not at home either, so she had no place to vent her anger.

It's not good to vent your anger on Zhou Yanwen's brother and sister.

Xu Yaqiu felt that her anger was stuck in her chest and she couldn't get it down. Her stomach was full. She didn't even eat and went to work in the afternoon.

In the afternoon, she took some time to look for Zhou Ping again, but Zhou Ping was not in the factory at all.

Finally, she got off work. When she left the factory, she saw Wang Hongfang.

Wang Hongfang was kicked into the river by Fang Xiaoluo last time. She became a laughing stock in the village.

She really couldn't think of how to deal with Fang Xiaoluo. Moreover, because of what Fang Xiaoluo said last time, she didn't dare to get close to the Fang family. As soon as she got close, the people in the village would say ugly gossips, which made her very angry.

So, she came out today to relax, to complain to Xu Yaqiu, and to tell Xu Yaqiu something.

Seeing Xu Yaqiu coming out, Wang Hongfang jumped and waved, "Yaqiu, Yaqiu!"

Xu Yaqiu came over, "Why are you here?"

Wang Hongfang realized that Xu Yaqiu didn't seem to be in good condition, her face was a little yellow, and she seemed to be worse than when she was in Honghe Village.

"Yaqiu, are you feeling unwell?"

Xu Yaqiu shook her head. "Nothing, it may be because of the pregnancy."

Wang Hongfang said, "Being pregnant is a bit hard, you should take care of yourself. Anyway, your family conditions are good, and you marry well, so be nice to yourself."

Xu Yaqiu liked others to flatter her about her good life, so there was no way she would reveal her scars. "You haven't eaten yet, right? Come on, I'll treat you to a meal at the hotel." Wang Hongfang was

very happy. "Thank you, Yaqiu. I'm sorry to have cost you money."

The two entered the state-owned hotel and ordered two dishes. Wang Hongfang said to Xu Yaqiu, "Yaqiu, I came here to tell you that you and your parents should be careful now. Someone came to the village and said they were from Jiangcheng Court. They asked the villagers why you had broken into the Fang family before and... Many villagers have come forward to testify about the insults to Fang Xiaoluo. I'm afraid it will harm you."

Xu Yaqiu poked the rice in the bowl angrily, "I don't know what kind of magic potion Fang Xiaoluo fed them. It's obvious that I have lived in the village for more than ten years. How many years has Fang Xiaoluo been in Honghe Village?"

Wang Hongfang echoed, "Who said it wasn't true. Yaqiu, you don't know, the last time Fang Xiaoluo came back to her parents' home, she was afraid that I would marry Fang Qiang, so she kicked me into the river. She also turned the tables and said that I was depressed and wanted to commit suicide. I was so angry that I fell seriously ill. Look, I have lost weight."

Xu Yaqiu's life was in a mess. She didn't pay attention to the affairs of Honghe Village recently. She considered herself a city dweller, so why should she care about what was going on in Honghe Village?

"Indeed, you look so thin, and it's Fang Xiaoluo, she doesn't want people to live a good life!" After Xu Yaqiu finished scolding, she whispered, "I'll give you an idea, do you want to listen?"

Wang Hongfang immediately became interested, "You say."

"Are you still in touch with Yan Mingyi from Liulin Village?" Xu Yaqiu asked.

Wang Hongfang said, "Not recently. I want to marry Fang Qiang, right?

Yan Mingyi doesn't look that good." Xu Yaqiu said, "You can't marry Fang Qiang now, but doesn't Yan Mingyi like you? You can go to him and cry, saying that you were bullied by Fang Xiaoluo, and let him find a way to get revenge on you. Besides, he is a gangster, and there are many gangsters around him..."

Wang Hongfang suddenly felt This is indeed a good idea. "But what if Yan Mingyi wants me to marry him? I don't want to marry a jerk."

Xu Yaqiu said, "Let's get revenge first. Besides, if you go to him and cry to him, it doesn't mean you have to marry him. If he stands up for you, it's his own will."

Wang Hongfang nodded, "Okay, I'll listen to you. I'll go to him tomorrow."
