On the way back, Han Qiushi couldn't help but say to Lin Xiaoxiao, "Every time I see your skills, I can't help but want to spit on my thugs."
"Right? My master also said I have a talent for this," Lin Xiaoxiao said with a laugh.
Looking at the top of Lin Xiaoxiao's head, Han Qiushi couldn't help but think: There is no doubt that Lin Xiaoxiao has a secret, given the way his parents get along.
He learned a lesson: don't pry into women's affairs.
Knowing too much can sometimes create distance.
It's like when Mom bought an extra piece of clothing, and Dad insisted on finding out exactly what happened, so that night Dad had to be sent to his own room to sleep.
It's not important that Dad sleeps alone.
The important thing is that Xiaoxiao is my partner, so I shouldn't meddle in her affairs.
The person didn't harm themselves, so isn't it better to live happily?
Men need to be more sensible! A man who doesn't listen to his wife is a failure!
He wants to be promoted even further.
The two walked toward the state-run restaurant while talking.
After they arrived at the restaurant, they unexpectedly ran into Kong Hui.
Kong Hui had sharp eyes and noticed them as soon as they came in.
Not only Kong Hui, but everyone by the door noticed them too; their striking good looks made it impossible not to take notice.
"Sister-in-law, Qiu Shi!" Kong Hui shouted happily.
"What are you doing here?" Han Qiushi asked upon hearing this.
"A relative came to visit today, and my mom asked me to come and buy groceries."
“It just so happens that we’ve run into each other. I’ve already bought two dishes, so come over to my place for a meal together,” Kong Hui invited.
"Are you willing to go?" Han Qiushi turned to Lin Xiaoxiao and asked in a low voice.
Lin Xiaoxiao nodded. Kong Hui had invited her twice already, and there was no harm in associating with them, so she decided to go for a meal.
Seeing them nod, Kong Hui smiled and said, "The braised beef with carrots was delicious today. Let's have some steamed pork with rice flour too. We have three dishes left at home, which is just right."
After ordering, Lin Xiaoxiao sat down with them to wait.
Kong Hui asked them what they were doing in the county town, and the conversation quickly turned to the two of them catching human traffickers together.
"What? Lin Zhiqing, you caught a human trafficker?"
"Wow, you're really amazing." Kong Hui's praise was genuine; someone who could handle landmines was definitely one of the best in Kong Hui's eyes.
When they caught the spy, Kong Hui suggested to Han Qiushi that talented people like Lin Xiaoxiao should join the army so that the soldiers could see that girls are much better than them, and what reason do they have not to work hard?
However, upon hearing Han Qiushi say that Lin Xiaoxiao did not want to join the army, Kong Hui couldn't help but feel sorry.
However, joining the army is a personal choice, and everyone has their own plans and ideas. It's a pity, but he respects it.
"This girl is amazing."
"He's a hero..."
The conversation between the three was overheard, and the onlookers looked at them differently, unable to resist showering them with compliments.
The waiter, who had been quite impatient, changed his expression: "Wow, you're really something... I have to take care of this dish for you."
After saying that, the waiter went to the kitchen. It's good to have people in this restaurant; when he came out, the boxes were full of food.
The three thanked the waiter repeatedly and left the state-run restaurant.
"I treated you to dinner today, and I never expected to benefit from your hospitality." Kong Hui led them home.
The courtyard in the county town was also a multi-story building, slightly more spacious than a typical tenement building. Just as they were going up the stairs to enter, a voice came from inside.
"You guys are really something. Such a big problem, and in the end you push all the responsibility onto you. And that's not all, you're also expected to handle everything afterward. Do you think it's so easy to resolve?"
"Yes, look at this, the fabric is so rotten, the color is all messed up, I've been so annoyed these past few days."
"So what are you going to do?"
"What can I do? I simply don't have time to deal with it. I've been keeping an eye on their production all this time. If there are any more problems, who knows what will happen next?"
"You've ruined all that perfectly good fabric. It's now just a waste of space."
"There's no way to sell this batch of fabric right now..."
As the three of them passed by, they overheard the whole story.
It was only after Kong Hui's introduction that I learned that the other woman inside was her mother's cousin, the director of the textile company. She came today mainly to get advice from her family.
Lin Xiaoxiao listened intently to these words.
Waste fabric? Can't sell it?
The gist of the matter is that there was a problem with the fabric printing and dyeing process at the factory, and the distributors stopped buying the fabric because of this.
The factory couldn't sell these defective fabrics piece by piece; that would make it a private operation. Who knew the factory manager would directly shift the blame onto Kong Hui's aunt?
My aunt and uncle wanted to buy the fabric, but they didn't have enough money.
This won't work, that won't work, and they've both been driven to despair.
The three entered silently. Kong Hui's mother, Du Lijuan, turned her head and saw Han Qiushi and Lin Xiaoxiao. A smile instantly appeared on her face. "Qiushi's here?"
"This must be... Lin, the educated youth?"
Du Lijuan appeared to be in her forties, with a slightly plump appearance that accentuated her dignified features. She was very welcoming to them.
"Auntie, this is my girlfriend, Xiaoxiao," Han Qiushi said proudly, head held high.
Seeing Lin Xiaoxiao standing next to Han Qiushi with her slender figure and delicate features, she was a beautiful girl and she and Han Qiushi were a perfect match.
"I'm so glad to finally see you." Du Lijuan quickly gestured for the person to sit down.
"Thank you, Auntie." Lin Xiaoxiao smiled and nodded.
The sounds reached the study, and Kong Xi came out shortly afterward, only to find it was Han Qiushi and the others.
Pointing at Han Qiushi, he said, "You little rascal, I've told you so many times to bring Comrade Lin over for dinner, and you've finally come."
"Comrade Lin, it's great to see you again." Kong Xi said to Lin Xiaoxiao with a kind smile.
After being introduced, Han Qiushi and Lin Xiaoxiao also got to know Du Lijuan's cousin.
Everyone was making tea in the living room when Du Lijuan went to the kitchen and added another dish.
After chatting for a while, the distance between them narrowed. Du Lijuan's cousin, seeing Lin Xiaoxiao's courteous manners and proper etiquette, couldn't help but praise her:
"Qiushi, you're really good at finding a partner. This girl is getting better and better the more I look at her."
Han Qiushi nodded: "Yes, I often think I have a good eye too."
Lin Xiaoxiao's mind was still preoccupied with the fabric incident. Now that the other person had spoken, she couldn't help but chime in: "No, it's just that everyone is very good at seeing the strengths in others."
"Oh my, this girl is so good with words," Du Lijuan's cousin said with a smile.
After exchanging pleasantries, Lin Xiaoxiao turned to ask, "Auntie, when I was at the door just now, I heard you talking about something about the factory's fabric. It seemed to be affecting your mood. Would it be convenient to tell me what it was about?"
