Boss Song looked at her in shock: "As expected, the most poisonous heart is that of a woman. I really underestimated you."
"Brother Song, women marry men with the intention of building a good life together. Not many people get married just to fight, right?"
Liu Pianran awkwardly tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and gave him a sad smile: "I used to think he was a good person, and I thought that following him would give me a chance to leave the countryside and go to the city. Who knew that this mother and son were not human? They were out enjoying themselves while I was left at home to be a slave to his mother. Since he doesn't treat me like family, why should I be good to them?"
"You're right. If a man doesn't treat his wife well after marriage, he can't blame the woman for being heartless."
Boss Song chuckled, but inadvertently avoided Liu Pianran's arm: "As for what you said about buying goods on credit, we can't buy on credit. However, I can give you some goods first. After the New Year, when we need you to do some work, we'll have someone give you a message."
After finishing his sentence, Boss Song refused her invitation and resolutely left.
Liu Pianran raised an eyebrow. This man was clearly starting to be infatuated with her, so why did he let her go so quickly?
Not only that, but they also promised to give her some goods for free?
However, she knew that Boss Song's goods weren't given away for free, but what did he want her to do after the New Year?
She didn't care. After half a year, she knew that it was impossible to return to the city with Lin Haodong. With an old woman like Lin's mother who was sweet on the outside but ruthless on the inside, she wouldn't have an easy time in the Lin family.
Since Lin Haodong is no good, then we'll have to figure out a way ourselves!
Furthermore, since Lin Haodong and his mother are making things difficult for her, she won't let Lin Haodong go out to study peacefully either.
She turned around and approached Liu Xiaogang again to ask for more goods. Liu Xiaogang and his henchmen had already received instructions from Boss Song and prepared about a thousand yuan worth of goods for her before sending her away.
Liu Pianran put the goods in her rented apartment in the city, then bought a notebook and a pen, and sat down under the lamp with a cold smile to write a letter of denunciation.
...
In the evening, Liu Xiaogang returned with Boss Song to report back.
Seeing that the handover went smoothly and that both parties had no objections to the contents of the authorization letter, Ji Xia quickly signed the authorization letter with Boss Song, handing over the wholesale business.
Seeing that Ji Xia agreed readily, Boss Song was very pleased. He not only paid the transfer fee of five hundred as required, but also gave her a pair of jade bracelets as a gift.
When Ji Xia saw the jade bracelet in the box, she instinctively wanted to push it back.
Boss Song laughed and said, "We don't mean anything by it. We just want to build a good relationship so that you can give us priority access to any good products in the future."
"I heard from Chen Jing that you like these old things. I just received a pair of old items a few days ago, so I'm offering them to you. If you don't accept them, it means you look down on me."
Ji Xia was torn between the two options, but after thinking it over, she accepted the gift and sincerely thanked him.
When Chen Jing returns, we'll tell him and see how he reciprocates.
Having received a generous gift, Song Laoda was confident that Ji Xia would fulfill her promise. He left with the signed and stamped authorization letter.
Ji Xia spent another half a day looking at the workshop's production reports and schedules, as well as the recent orders. Seeing that there were no problems, she left with peace of mind.
After being mentored by Sun Xiaoyu for a period of time, Chen Qiuyu was basically able to handle things independently, which put Sun Xiaoyu at ease.
Seeing that it was still early, she turned around and went to Xinhua Bookstore, where she picked out a few review materials and books on sketching and watercolor.
Chen Jing went on a long trip, and Zhang Lan also left the commune. Ji Xia often returned to the Ji family home to stay with Zhang Hong, so that the two could take care of each other.
As soon as she returned to Jiuqu Lane by bicycle, she heard Zhang Hong's angry voice from afar: "Not here, I said not here, and that's it! Are you out of your mind? Can't you understand what I mean?"
Ji Xia saw several neighbors peeking out from in front of the courtyard gate from afar, and couldn't help but quicken her pace with worry.
Soon, she saw the two people blocking the front of the house.
Two ragged, bruised men pleaded with Zhang Hong in a low voice, but Zhang Hong showed no mercy and cursed them in front of the neighbors who were watching the spectacle.
Ji Xia pressed the bicycle bell, and the three of them turned around at the sound. Ji Xia saw the old woman next to her, and beside her was her beloved son.
Ji Xia subconsciously widened her eyes and looked Lin Haodong up and down, his face distorted from the beating, and his knees and calves also seemed to be injured.
After a long pause, she tentatively called out, "Lin Haodong?"
"Ah Xia, you're finally back! That's wonderful! We have something we want to discuss with you."
As she spoke, Granny Lin pushed Zhang Hong aside and excitedly tried to rush into the courtyard.
"Discuss? What's there to discuss between us?"
As Ji Xia spoke, she hurriedly rode forward a few times, and the bicycle, like an arrow released from a bow, blocked Lin Pozi's path, stopping her no matter what.
With her long legs spread apart, she pushed off and brought the bicycle to a steady stop in front of Granny Lin: "Auntie, Lin Haodong, I'm married now. From now on, if you need to discuss anything, you should consult your wife."
Lin Haodong looked embarrassed for a moment, then glanced at the curious eyes around him and couldn't help but whisper, "Ji Xia, we have something important to discuss with you. Let's go inside and talk, okay?"
"Lin Haodong, can't you understand human language?"
Ji Xia didn't budge an inch, coldly scoffing, "You have a wife, I have a husband, what are you going in for? It's an awkward situation, if you go in, won't people misunderstand?"
"Between you and me, there's nothing private we can talk about. There's no reason for us to be afraid of others knowing. If you can talk, then talk. If you can't, then get out."
"Okay, that's right. Speak your mind, or shut up. Why go in?" A chorus of applause erupted around them, and everyone gave Ji Xia and Zhang Hong a thumbs up.
Lin Haodong's face turned pale and then red, and he didn't know how to speak for a moment.
