Chapter 132: Working Like a Horse
"What do you mean? Are you heartbroken?" Jian Qingyi raised the corner of his mouth sarcastically.
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Jian Zhongliang's voice rose several degrees due to excitement. Perhaps he realized that his voice was too loud, so he quickly lowered his voice as soon as he spoke.
"I'm talking nonsense?" Jian Qingyi snorted. "Didn't you say I eat a lot?"
"I don't mind you eating too much..." Jian Zhongliang defended.
Jian Qingyi chuckled, clearly showing that she didn't believe it.
Jian Zhongliang took a deep breath.
He glanced around cautiously before lowering his voice and asking, "Did that brat Lu Yujing take advantage of you?"
"No!" Jian Qingyi shook his head firmly.
No matter how you look at it, she got the upper hand.
With Lu Yujing's looks, broad shoulders, narrow waist, long legs, and eight-pack abs, in his previous life, you couldn't get close to him without a seven-digit fortune.
Not to mention, kissing and flexing the abdominal muscles.
"Really?" Jian Zhongliang stared at Jian Qingyi's face in the dim street light, trying to find any clues of lying from her face.
"Really not!" Jian Qingyi denied it immediately.
She even showed off his abdominal muscles, so if she still said that he took advantage of her, that would be a bit unfair.
"Then why have you been eating so much recently?" Jian Zhongliang's eyes never left Jian Qingyi's face. He stared at her intently, afraid of missing any important clues.
"You don't think I'm pregnant, do you?" Jian Qingyi burst out laughing.
"Keep your voice down!" Jian Zhongliang reminded in a low voice.
As he spoke, he glanced around as if he was guilty.
Jian Qingyi was amused by his action.
"You really are my biological father. Don't say that Lu Yujing and I didn't do anything. Even if there really was something, it's only been half a month. How can there be any reaction?"
After half a month, it is estimated that it is still a fertilized egg.
Jian Zhongliang: “…”
He was so anxious that he actually forgot about it.
When Xu Wan was pregnant with her little girl, it seemed like she had the reaction that only appeared after two or three months of pregnancy.
"Your appetite suddenly increased..." Jian Zhongliang explained with a guilty conscience.
"Anyway, tomorrow is Sunday, so you don't have to go to work. Come with me to the store and you'll know why I eat so much." Jian Qingyi stood up and patted his butt.
Without caring about Jian Zhongliang's reaction, he turned around and started walking back.
The night wind in the coldest days of winter was really unbearable. In just a short while, Jian Qingyi felt that her face was almost frozen.
After returning to the house and closing the door, Jian Qingyi went straight into the island.
Only when she was soaking in the snow-white milk bath did Jian Qingyi feel her frozen blood start flowing again.
I had a good sleep on the luxurious big bed on the island.
After breakfast the next day, Jian Qingyi dragged Jian Zhongliang, the free laborer, out.
She first taught Jian Zhongliang how to iron clothes, and then taught him some skills to fold clothes.
She originally wanted to teach Jian Zhongliang some more sales skills, but the influx of customers did not give her the opportunity.
Jian Zhongliang, who was assigned to help pack clothes behind the counter, finally understood why the little girl wanted to teach him how to fold clothes.
At the end of the day, he could hardly lift his elbows.
I even ate two more bowls of rice for dinner.
I also understood what my little girl said, "Just go to the store with her and you'll know."
"Yi Yi, why don't you hire someone else?" Jian Zhongliang felt a little sorry for his little girl.
"I'm already looking for a temporary worker." Jian Qingyi leaned on the sofa, looking as if her energy had been sucked away by a monster.
On weekdays, four people are more than enough to run the store.
Adding more manpower will undoubtedly increase costs.
The peak season for clothing is only this month.
It is not cost-effective to increase staff just for a month's peak season.
"Bang bang bang..." There was a knock on the door.
Jian Xiaojing glanced at the father and daughter sitting on the sofa, then ran to open the door.
When Jian Xiaojing saw the person standing outside the door, her eyes lit up.
"Auntie!"
"Hey!" The middle-aged woman outside the door responded with a smile.
"My little Jing is getting more and more beautiful as she grows up."
The middle-aged woman's words made Jian Xiaojing's face suddenly red.
"Auntie, come in and sit down!" Jian Xiaojing shouted towards the kitchen while letting people into the house.
"Mom, my aunt is here."
When Jian Zhongliang heard this, he stood up.
Guests are welcome, and he cannot neglect her family just because he is dissatisfied with Li Meiqian.
"Big sister is here!" Jian Zhongliang greeted with a smile.
"Zhongliang is also at home!" The middle-aged woman's face was full of smiles.
Although she was asking Jian Zhongliang, her eyes were on Jian Qingyi who was beside him.
Jian Qingyi leaned over and grabbed a handful of melon seeds from the coffee table and started eating them.
I want to see what tricks Li Meiqian, the military advisor, is up to next.
"I'm here! Big sister, please sit down!" Jian Zhongliang turned slightly to block her sight.
It's dark now, where else can I go if not stay at home?
Jian Zhongliang complained in his heart, but he still had a smile on his face.
Li Meiqian came out quickly with a glass of honey water in her hand.
"Sister, why are you here?" She smiled and handed the honey water to the middle-aged woman.
The middle-aged woman took a sip and then slowly said, "I came here today to borrow some money from you."
"We're all family, so I won't hide it from you. Your nephew is getting married soon, but the girl from that family said she wants a 5,000 yuan gift, and if she doesn't give him 5,000 yuan, there's no point in getting married."
"You know what kind of family we are. If she had asked for a thousand or eight hundred, I might have been able to scrape together some, or at most sell some blood. But she asked for five thousand. Even if you skinned and boned me and your brother-in-law and sold us, you wouldn't get that much!"
"Zhongliang, please help us because my Meiqian has been with you for a long time."
As the middle-aged woman spoke, she pretended to press the corners of her eyes.
"Five thousand?!" Jian Zhongliang took a breath of cold air.
Nancheng is just a small county town, and a dowry of two thousand is the maximum.
That was when both the man and the woman came from well-known families.
The betrothal gift is 5,000...
Is this because I'm still sleepy?!
What kind of family?
He asked for five thousand.
"Zhongliang, you must help me and your brother-in-law! Otherwise we will not survive." The middle-aged woman pressed the non-existent tears from the corners of her eyes again.
While speaking, he glanced at Li Meiqian with complicated eyes.
"Sister, it's not that I don't want to help you, it's just that I can't do anything about it." Jian Zhongliang frowned tightly.
Five thousand is not five dollars, you can have it by just pooling your money.
Where could he get her five thousand?
"Zhongliang, I beg you, if you help me, I will work like a slave in my next life to repay your kindness." The middle-aged woman said as she was about to kneel down.
Jian Zhongliang was so frightened that he hurriedly reached out to help.
Jian Qingyi secretly stretched out a foot.
Jian Zhongliang was so anxious to help the person that he didn't pay attention to his feet at all. He tripped, stumbled, and rushed straight towards the middle-aged woman.
