Based on what happened today, Jiang Qiaoqiao could roughly guess what Jiang Yong'an was plotting.
Sure enough, Jiang Yong'an said next, "Qiao Qiao and Bei Xiao have been married for so long, and none of us older brothers have ever eaten at their house. How about this tonight, I'll pay for the meat and vegetables, and we'll cook at Qiao Qiao's house?"
Jiang Yongchang frowned again, feeling that Jiang Yong'an was acting unusually strangely today.
But upon closer reflection, Jiang Qiaoqiao is, after all, their own sister, so Jiang Yong'an's suggestion seems reasonable.
Jiang Qiaoqiao nodded in agreement.
Since Jiang Yong'an wanted it, she had to give him something in return.
Jiang Yong'an immediately ran off to buy groceries.
Jiang Qiaoqiao and Huo Beixiao took Jiang Yongchang and Yu Hanfei back to the cement factory's staff and family compound first.
On the way, Huo Beixiao couldn't help but say to Jiang Qiaoqiao, "Qiaoqiao, your third brother is probably after your recipe for making duck products."
From the moment he married Jiang Qiaoqiao, the difference in treatment between Jiang Yong'an, the third brother, and Jiang Qiaoqiao and Jiang Yiran became particularly obvious.
This sudden change today is like he's become a completely different person.
He went through everything that had happened today and quickly figured out the key to it.
Jiang Yong'an didn't suddenly change his mind and become nicer to his younger sister Jiang Qiaoqiao; he was just helping Jiang Yiran to seek her own interests.
Jiang Qiaoqiao was somewhat surprised that this man had figured out Jiang Yong'an's purpose so quickly.
He said with a smile, "You thought of that too? But I think Jiang Yiran should ask you for help instead of Jiang Yong'an!"
"If she can stir up your guilt again and make you come to me for the formula, I'll definitely give it to you!"
Jiang Qiaoqiao said with a grin.
"Qiaoqiao!"
Huo Beixiao frowned, his aura becoming more imposing, and his deep voice carried a hint of certainty, "I will not be affected by that dream again."
Jiang Qiaoqiao chuckled but didn't reply.
But the bicycle suddenly stopped.
Just as she was wondering, Huo Beixiao suddenly jumped out of the car. Then, a large hand grabbed her soft waist, and her slender figure was lifted into the air.
When she came to her senses, she was already sitting on the front crossbar of the bicycle.
Huo Beixiao's hot breath brushed against her ear, "Qiaoqiao, you are my wife, I will never do anything to betray you."
Jiang Qiaoqiao felt a blush creep up her ears.
A wave of heat quickly spread across her cheeks, and she couldn't help but mutter to herself, "We're not really husband and wife, we're getting a divorce."
Huo Beixiao heard her muttering.
My heart sank involuntarily.
The words "We can stay married and be a real couple" almost came out, but in the end, they stuck in his throat and he couldn't say them.
Because he is not qualified.
Qiaoqiao once said that she could try to be a real couple with him.
It was when he saw Jiang Yiran being scorned by everyone that he couldn't control the inexplicable guilt in his heart, which hurt Qiao Qiao.
The two sat on the same bicycle, and neither of them spoke again.
Apart from the sound of the wind, it was so quiet that you could hear each other's heartbeats.
When Jiang Qiaoqiao heard that Huo Beixiao had stopped talking, she felt a little empty inside. He didn't refute her, so he tacitly agreed that they would get a divorce.
That's fine.
Once she has saved enough, she will get a divorce and then go south to make her way in the world.
In this era, the South was truly a land of opportunity.
"Tsk, people used to say that Engineer Huo was as cold as an ice cube, but now he dotes on his wife so much! Look, every time he comes in and out, he puts his wife on the front bar to sit on."
"Who wouldn't spoil such a beautiful and successful wife? I see so many stalls selling clothes in the market now, but Qiaoqiao's stall is still the most successful. I stood there for a while the other day, and in less than an hour, she sold five pieces of clothing. She must have made at least several hundred yuan in that morning."
"You're making me so envious that I want to set up a stall and buy clothes."
"You're not the only one who's envious. Aunt Zhao has been envious for a long time, and she's bold and decisive—she went and brought all the goods back. By the way, Aunt Zhao, have you sold those pants yet?"
...
Now, whenever Jiang Qiaoqiao goes in and out of the family compound, she inevitably gets gossiped about by the family members under the banyan tree, and she's gotten used to it.
Today, the topic once again came up with Aunt Zhao.
When Aunt Zhao was singled out for questioning, her face immediately darkened. "Whether my goods have been sold or not is none of your business! Stop meddling in other people's affairs!"
After saying that, Aunt Zhao picked up her sewing basket and went back into the house in a huff.
The others immediately whispered, "Aunt Zhao only sold two items of those goods. I heard that her grandson was sick recently and she couldn't afford to go to the hospital. Zheng Yulan has been trying to get a divorce from Wang Dacheng because of this."
"Ha, everyone in our neighborhood knows Jiang Qiaoqiao made money selling clothes, but who else is as eager as her to go and buy new stock? She's always cursing this shop and that shop, I really thought she was so capable that she could buy new stock and sell it all, but look what happened... she still lost everything!"
...
The mocking voices outside reached Aunt Zhao's ears, and she was so angry she felt like her head was about to explode.
When I got home, I saw Zheng Yulan sitting on the edge of the bed, wiping away tears.
Aunt Zhao was already upset because people were talking about her outside.
Hearing Zheng Yulan cry now only makes me more annoyed. "Cry, cry, cry! All you know how to do is cry. Weren't you usually so capable when you argued with your mother? What? You can't be capable now?"
