Liu Aiyue panicked. Her two sons were no longer on her side.
And Jiang Xue was like a plague god, sitting in the house, acting all high and mighty, as if she was about to hit her again.
"Tch, I'll take the money. Anyway, it's all your money after I die. I refuse to believe you won't support me in my old age."
Jiang Xue took the three hundred yuan from Liu Aiyue and sneered, "Retirement is none of my business. I have absolutely no connection with your family."
"Xiaoling, let's go back to work."
Back in the courtyard, Jiang Xue handed Gu Xiaoling a fifty-yuan note, saying, "Thank you for helping me."
Gu Xiaoling quickly declined, not daring to accept it.
Jiang Xue stepped forward, grabbed Gu Xiaoling, and stuffed the money into Gu Xiaoling's pocket without saying a word. "This kind of money is what we deserve. There's nothing wrong with taking it."
Jiang Xue, having stuffed the remaining 250 yuan into her pocket, had only one thought in her mind: to get the final payment and immediately go out to buy a house.
Running a small shop now is fine, since property prices will soar later, so it's a kind of investment.
She rubbed her ankle, feeling a little anxious, wondering when it would be fully healed.
"Jiang Xue..." came an excited cheer.
Jiang Xue looked up and saw that Sun Ze'an was carrying two large bags.
"I brought you some fruit, as well as pork and ribs. The ribs will make soup, which will help your injury recover."
Jiang Xue's lips twitched. This kid's attempt to curry favor seemed a bit too obvious.
"That's too much trouble, no need."
Sun Ze'an was clearly unhappy. "Since we are friends, I don't want to hear 'please' or 'thank you' anymore."
"You're being too enthusiastic, it's making me feel really embarrassed." Actually, Jiang Xue felt quite awkward. She understood Sun Ze'an's feelings, but she wasn't thinking about that at all right now.
She only wanted to get rich, and she knew very well that no man would be nice to her for no reason.
In her view, the reason why she and Ji Chen had been getting along peacefully recently, and why Ji Chen had always been accommodating to her and even helped her, was because Jiang Xue was taking care of his two children. In Jiang Xue's view, the purpose was very pure; he just wanted her to love the two children more.
Sun Ze'an completely disregarded what Jiang Xue said and immediately squatted down to check her injuries.
Aunt Wang and several workers were whispering among themselves.
In the countryside, the thing people like to do most is gossip.
Even though he was the boss who paid them, because at that time, cell phones and even black-and-white televisions were not yet common in the village, their only entertainment after meals was to gather at the intelligence point under the big tree at the village entrance and pass on information to each other.
"Teacher Sun, why don't you go back? I really have nothing to do here, and there's no need to go through all this trouble later."
Sun Ze'an looked at Jiang Xue with great incomprehension, "Aren't we good friends? There's nothing wrong with me coming to see you."
“Although Ji Chen and I are a fake couple, that’s not how the villagers see us. I don’t think it’s right for a married woman to have too much contact with other men.”
Sun Ze'an could clearly tell that Jiang Xue was subtly reminding him, and that she seemed to be deliberately drawing a line between the two of them.
"It's okay, let them say what they want. Once this batch of work is finished, you'll move to the city, right? Then we'll see who dares to gossip."
Jiang Xue frowned, feeling an inexplicable displeasure. How could this person be like this, completely disregarding other people's feelings?
