"Qiaoqiao, think carefully about what Mom is talking about. We just need to make enough money to get by; family is the most important thing."
While Jiang Qiaoqiao came to help her, Lin Xiaohui, following Peng Cuiying's advice, earnestly persuaded Jiang Qiaoqiao to whisper sweet nothings in Huo Beixiao's ear and get him to sell the cement factory.
Jiang Qiaoqiao listened patiently to Lin Xiaohui's words without commenting.
After Lin Xiaohui finished speaking, she looked up at Lin Xiaohui and asked, "Mom, who came to our store today and said these things to you?"
Remembering Peng Cuiying's instructions, Lin Xiaohui's eyes flickered, and she denied it somewhat guiltily, saying, "No, no one has come to our shop."
"It's something I thought of myself. You've been married to Beixiao for so long, and there's still no sign of pregnancy. I'm genuinely worried that Beixiao won't be able to resist and will be seduced by other women, leaving you with nothing!"
Jiang Qiaoqiao stood up. "Mom, if you don't tell me, I'll go out and ask around myself."
As she spoke, Jiang Qiaoqiao turned to leave.
Lin Xiaohui quickly stopped her, "Yes, Peng Cuiying came by."
Jiang Qiaoqiao had already guessed it, otherwise Jiang Jiahua and Jiang Yongxian wouldn't have come to her in the morning, and now Lin Xiaohui was trying to persuade her.
Although she knew that Lin Xiaohui had been persuaded by Peng Cuiying to talk to her, it was indeed out of concern for her marital situation.
But she still looked at Lin Xiaohui with some helplessness, "Mom, didn't I tell you that apart from Jiang Yongchang, no one in the Jiang family is good?"
I told you not to believe anything they say. They won't do me any good; they'll only do what's best for themselves. Mom, if you continue to trust the Jiang family so easily, one day not only me, but even my eldest brother will be harmed by you.”
She's exaggerating a bit.
But she thought that if she didn't make the outcome sound serious, given Lin Xiaohui's personality, she might still be misled by the Jiang family next time.
Seeing that Jiang Qiaoqiao was angry, Lin Xiaohui felt a little guilty and quickly pulled Jiang Qiaoqiao away, saying, "Qiaoqiao, don't be angry. It's Mom's fault. It's Mom's fault, okay?"
“But Mom is really worried about you. Now that your dad is gone, Mom only has you and your brother left…” Lin Xiaohui wiped away her tears and said, “But your brother is busy with the duck shed and has postponed his wedding with Yulan.”
You married Bei Xiao, and then…
As Lin Xiaohui spoke, she looked at Jiang Qiaoqiao's belly and said helplessly, "How can I not worry about you all?"
Jiang Qiaoqiao also knew that Lin Xiaohui was worried about her pregnancy, and it had become a real worry for her.
She pulled Lin Xiaohui down to sit, "Mom, to tell you the truth, Bei Xiao and I have discussed that we shouldn't have children for the time being."
“My clothing store has just opened, and I also plan to build my own garment factory. These past two years have been a good time to do business and make money, and I want to seize the time to earn more money.”
Lin Xiaohui became a little anxious upon hearing this.
Before she could speak, Jiang Qiaoqiao gently pressed her hand to comfort her and said, "Mom, listen to me. If a man really wants to have any ulterior motives, he won't care whether or not there are children."
Times have changed. Great people have said that "women hold up half the sky." We women can't always rely on men to make a living, and we certainly can't use children to tie men down—you can't.
"To forge iron, one must be strong oneself. We women earn our own money; only when our wallets are full can we stand tall."
"You said that once I've built up the factory and opened clothing stores all over the country, and I'm rich, even if Huo Beixiao really isn't honest, at worst he can find other women, and I can find other men. We can each do our own thing..."
Lin Xiaohui blushed with embarrassment upon hearing Jiang Qiaoqiao's bold statement.
She glared at Jiang Qiaoqiao reproachfully and quickly reached out to cover her mouth, "What nonsense are you talking about, you little girl? You should only tell your mother what you're saying. If you told anyone else back in the day, you would have been drowned in a pig cage!"
Jiang Qiaoqiao then hugged Lin Xiaohui's arm and leaned on her shoulder, "I was just talking to Mom about it."
But Mom, you must trust me from now on. When I say you can't trust the Jiang family, I mean it. You absolutely mustn't fall for their tricks.
Lin Xiaohui nodded. "I understand."
Just as Jiang Qiaoqiao finished speaking with Lin Xiaohui, Zheng Yulan's wary voice came from outside, "Jiang Yiran, what are you doing here?"
Jiang Yiran supported her waist with one hand and stroked her protruding belly with the other, giving Zheng Yulan a disdainful look.
"What I do here is none of your business. Who are you and who am I? You're just a helper. Do I need to report to you what I do here?"
Zheng Yulan was furious with Jiang Yiran, but since Jiang Yiran was heavily pregnant, she couldn't scold her or chase her away.
Jiang Qiaoqiao came out of the store and looked coldly at Jiang Yiran. "Heh, Jiang Yiran, you really don't learn your lesson."
Back then, you thought you were the factory director's daughter and looked down on the farmers selling goods in the market. Now you look down on Sister Yulan, who works for my family.
"I'd like to ask you, what gives you the right this time? Is it because your 'big brother' who's serving the people in the north of the city is back?"
"Then I'll have to go to the relevant departments and ask them if it's because someone in his family is serving the people in the capital that his family can act so arrogantly."
Upon hearing Jiang Qiaoqiao's words, Jiang Yiran's face instantly darkened with anger.
If Jiang Qiaoqiao really makes a scene over this, and her words and actions affect Jiang Yongxian's career, then Jiang Jiahua and Peng Cuiying will definitely skin her alive!
"Hmph!" Jiang Yiran snorted coldly, "I don't want to play games with you. Let's get straight to the point. My godparents are inviting you and Huo Beixiao to dinner."
