"Thank you," Jiang Xue coldly replied with a polite remark.
She carefully examined the design drawings in her hand; she simply didn't have that much time to waste.
She still needs to earn money to rent a place.
At this rate, she should be able to save up several months' rent in about ten days. "Your sister should be back in about ten days, right?"
Ji Chen was originally going to hold Shao Meng and play with her, but his hand was left hanging in mid-air.
He really wasn't sure how long it would take for his sister to come back.
“We can get a divorce in ten days, let’s just be patient a little longer.” Jiang Xue put down her pen easily and looked at Ji Chen happily.
Ji Chen felt awkward and a little embarrassed: "What if my sister doesn't come to pick up the child for ten days?"
“My mom probably won’t take care of the child she gave birth to.” He said slowly, as if the words were being squeezed out between his teeth.
Jiang Xue could sense that Ji Chen really wanted to get a divorce as soon as possible, but the two children needed someone to take care of them.
It's impossible for a grown man to stay at home taking care of children without any source of income to support them.
Jiang Xue readily agreed, "How about this, I have an idea."
“You speak,” Ji Chen said coldly.
“I’ll take you to your sister to pick you up, and my reward will be this sewing machine.”
Jiang Xue wouldn't do a business that loses money. A sewing machine costs over a hundred yuan. Even if she rented a place, she would still starve to death without any income.
Ji Chen was instantly stunned. He hadn't expected Jiang Xue to suddenly become so clever and cunning.
But thinking about it, even though that thing was worth a lot of money, it wouldn't be of much use to him.
"OK."
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, almost ten days have passed.
Alone in the room, she took out the tin box from the bottom of the trunk and counted the money several times before she could believe that she had actually saved up 103 yuan in just a few days.
She was amazed by her earning power, but she was still a little worried because it seemed that everything that needed to be done had been done in the several villages.
She knew that clothes were not fast-moving consumer goods in this era, and if she relied solely on a few villages, her business would definitely decline.
Because what she needs is volume; only with a larger volume can she make money.
The more she thought about it, the more worried she became. Just then, her mother-in-law stood outside the house and shouted.
"Shameless slut, you're staying at my house, and your family is even seizing my land. Is there no law anymore?"
Jiang Xue was furious. She stormed out of the house and said, "You take care of those two children. I'm leaving now."
Liu Aiyue's face instantly turned as black as the bottom of a pot. "Why should I take care of those two bastards?"
Liu Aiyue felt annoyed whenever she saw her two little brats, because of this daughter, she became the subject of ridicule in the surrounding villages.
She had raised her eldest daughter for over ten years, and now she had run away. She wanted nothing more than to find her and break her legs.
"Then don't say I'm staying at your house."
Liu Aiyue was speechless for a moment after the rebuttal, but she still refused to admit defeat and continued to nitpick through gritted teeth.
"When will that land be returned to my son?" She felt she had suddenly gained the upper hand.
He stood up straight, somewhat smugly, with his hands on his hips.
"I will return the land."
"You're talking nonsense. Let my son plant something; that's the real way to repay you."
Jiang Xue realized that she might have been impregnated by her parents. "Don't give me any more advice. I'll handle my own affairs."
Seeing Jiang Xue's fierce appearance, Liu Aiyue was furious, but she had no choice but to hold back her anger. She muttered a few curses under her breath and then left.
After seeing Liu Aiyue leave, Jiang Xue immediately changed her clothes and shoes.
"Shaoheng, Shaomeng, your aunt will take you to play on the ridges of the fields first."
The two little ones ran excitedly behind Jiang Xue, "Yay, yay... let's go play!"
Jiang Xue looked at her two easily satisfied little ones and grew to like them more and more.
I was too lazy to argue with my mother-in-law anymore, so I just focused on resolving the issue properly.
She followed the irrigation ditch and the original owner's memories to find the piece of land that belonged to Ji Chen.
As luck would have it, her family was in the field, busy sowing rapeseed seeds.
Jiang Xue frowned and stepped forward. "Dad, Mom, didn't I say I would take it back?"
She was speechless. Her family already owned land; they just wanted to plant more so they could get more oil and grain coupons.
They didn't care at all that her family had no food to eat. The original owner was lazy and only hoped that Ji Chen would work everywhere to earn some money to support the two of them.
The original owner had to live frugally and squeeze out money from every penny to help them.
They really know how to be greedy.
"Oh dear, how can a mother hold a grudge overnight? Xiaoxue, let us plant this land, and we'll give you a few pounds of oil coupons later." Xie Chunmei smiled ingratiatingly.
Jiang Xue was so angry she laughed. Even if the yield of one mu of land was extremely low, it could only produce about a hundred jin of rapeseed oil, but now they had planted about five mu of her land.
She only got a few kilograms of the harvest, even though it was hundreds of kilograms. It's amazing that her mother has such a thick skin; she actually dared to say that.
"Give me two hundred catties, and you can plant it. If you can't, pack up and go back to where you came from."
Jiang Chunsheng and Jiang Lai angrily threw the hoe on the ground with a bang and stormed up to Jiang Xue.
"Is this how you treat your parents?" Jiang Lai asked Jiang Xue through gritted teeth, her neck red.
Jiang Xue settled the two little ones on the ridge of the field.
He confronted Jiang Lai, saying, "I've paid you twenty yuan a month and let you farm the land for two years. How have you treated me?"
"It's your shamelessness that you stripped naked to seduce men and ruin our family's reputation." Jiang Lai shielded Xie Chunmei and Jiang Chunsheng behind her.
Jiang Xue bit her lip and glanced sideways at Jiang Lai.
