Zhang Xin entered the house and, in front of his mother, gave Zhang Lei a thorough dressing-down.
The woman on the second board felt utterly humiliated when she realized her son also knew about her daughter's abortion.
She knew it must have been Xia Enruo who told Zhang Xin.
But since Ge Qiuqin was the leader's wife, she dared not vent her anger and could only feel even more resentment towards her.
If it weren't for this hussy relying on her master's power and having someone to help her, I would have kicked her out long ago.
"Mom, little sister, I'll buy tickets for you two. We'll go back to our hometown tomorrow."
When the woman on the second board heard that her son was going to take her home, she suddenly became anxious. She hadn't had enough time to stay! Zhang Lei hadn't found a husband yet, how could she go home?
“Zhang Xin, Mom isn’t leaving. Your little sister just had a miscarriage and still needs to rest and recover after childbirth. How can she go home?”
"Once your little sister is out of confinement, Mom is counting on you to find her a good husband!"
Zhang Xin can't care about these things now; he can barely protect himself, how can he care about others?
"Mom, listen to me, you and your little sister must go home. You can come back another time!"
Zhang Lei lay in bed, tears streaming down her face. She felt utterly humiliated and wanted nothing more than to smash her head against a pile of blankets.
"Son, I've only been here a few days and you're already in a hurry to send me away. Is it that hussy Ge Qiuqin who's making you do this?"
"I'm going to cripple her today, so she won't try anything funny again."
As the second-board woman spoke, she was about to get down from the ground and picked up a feather duster to whip Ge Qiuqin.
"Mom, just listen to me, stop making a fuss! If you don't listen to your son, I'll lose my job!"
Zhang Xin knelt down in front of the woman on the second board with a thud and said.
The woman on the second board realized something was wrong. If it were a small matter, why would her son kneel down and beg her?
"Tell Mom what happened. Mom will help you solve it."
"Mom, the only way to resolve this is to go home. Otherwise, even if the King of Heaven himself came, he couldn't do it."
Upon hearing this, the second-hand woman burst into tears.
Ge Qiuqin led the children into another room, locked the door, and was afraid that Zhang Xin would barge in and beat her again.
But after waiting for a long time, until it was quiet and there was no sound outside, no one came to knock on the door.
She opened the door and went out, only to find that Zhang Xin and the other two were nowhere to be seen, and even her mother-in-law and sister-in-law's luggage was gone.
Xia Enruo saw Zhang Xin leading his mother and sister away with their luggage through the window.
"Zhang Xin is smart enough, otherwise I would have really gone to the leaders to expose him. Right now, the only way to help Sister Qiuqin is to help her become financially independent."
Starting the next day, Xia Enruo set up a stall to sell boxed lunches and collect laundry every noon and evening.
Because of her superb culinary skills, she is already well-known throughout the medical university. Every day at mealtimes, the boxed lunches she makes are instantly sold out.
She has now increased the variety of dishes in her boxed meals to six, including three main dishes: rice, fried oat noodles, and cornbread, but it is still not enough to meet sales.
Some students simply bought several boxed lunches and then resold them at a higher price.
In the end, Xia Enruo had no choice but to limit purchases, allowing each student to buy only one boxed lunch and one cup of fruit tea at a time.
In just half a month, Xia Enruo's money increased rapidly, earning an average of more than 80 yuan a day.
On her busiest day, the clothes she received piled up like a mountain, and she calculated that she earned more than 130 yuan that day.
Now her wallet is bulging. After doing the math, she has a net income of 1,423.7 yuan. Before long, she will be a millionaire in this era.
Ge Qiuqin has been extremely happy lately. Since the second-hand woman left, she has felt incredibly relaxed and cheerful. Zhang Xin even gave her 40 yuan for the first time ever.
Although he still rarely goes home, his attitude towards me softens considerably each time he does return.
Now she helps Xia Enruo with laundry, earning half the commission for each garment she washes, and she can earn more than 10 yuan a day.
With the money, she was much better off. Not only did her children no longer have to wear patched clothes, but she also got herself a new pair of rain boots.
I felt really happy.
"Sister-in-law, how does it feel to earn your own money?"
Xia Enru asked.
"Xia, I was right to listen to you, sister-in-law. Now I have my own little nest egg, and I don't have to ask Zhang Xin for money all the time. I calculated that I earn more than him every month."
Ge Qiuqin's face is now more radiant than before; money really does make a difference.
"Sister-in-law, in a couple of days I'll go shopping with you to buy some face cream, and I'll teach you how to make a face mask. I guarantee the age spots on your face will disappear little by little."
"Great, Xia. Now that I have some money, I really want to pamper myself. I know I can't go wrong by listening to you."
Xia Enruo's business is thriving. She has made up her mind. There are a few newly built two-story shops for sale across from the school. She must save up enough money to buy one. She asked about the price before and it was more than 5,300 yuan.
This would have been a free gift in my past life, and it's a considerable sum of money now.
She calculated that at her current rate of earning money, she would definitely be able to save enough money to buy it in another two months.
By then, with her own property, even if she divorced Gu Shaoxuan, she could still live peacefully in this vast Yongning City.
Just thinking about it makes me excited.
Chen Yan has been in a very bad mood these past few days. Ever since she learned that Zhang Xin gave Ge Qiuqin 40 yuan, she has felt a tightness in her chest.
Could that old woman possibly spend all that money? Giving her 10 yuan would be too much.
Zhang Xin repeatedly told her not to step into the family compound, otherwise both of their jobs would be ruined.
She was so angry she could grind her teeth to dust.
"Ge Qiuqin, don't you care about your child the most? What if your child dies? Let's see how long you can remain so arrogant!"
Jiang Pei had previously agreed with Chen Yan to go to the military family compound together to properly treat Xia Enruo, but when she asked Chen Yan to go with her, Chen Yan made an excuse to decline.
Jiang Pei had no choice but to go by herself. She really missed Gu Shaoxuan; she hadn't seen him for so long, and her heart was filled with longing.
As she walked into the courtyard with fruit in her arms, she saw Gu Shaoxuan hanging clothes out to dry in the yard. The yard was filled with clothes that were dazzling to the eye.
Gu Shaoxuan is recovering very quickly and is now able to walk independently. He will be fully recovered after going to the hospital to have the pins and stitches removed.
He became Xia Enruo's little helper every day, helping her hang up the clothes, watching over the clothes, and trying his best to please his wife.
Now, whenever Xia Enruo goes out to sell boxed lunches, he stares at the gate of the courtyard like a statue waiting for his wife.
Whenever he saw Xia Enruo returning from afar, he would always walk a long way to greet her.
"Brother Shaoxuan?"
Jiang Pei shouted.
Gu Shaoxuan turned his head and saw that it was her again! His life had finally returned to happiness, and now she was here to make things worse.
"Jiang Pei, what are you doing here?"
Gu Shaoxuan's tone was indifferent. He glanced at Jiang Pei and continued to hang the clothes on the line.
