If any family has a sister like that, they'll lose fifty years of their life.
Qiao Shanshan glared fiercely at Sister-in-law Lu, then quickly reverted to her innocent, rabbit-like demeanor.
Sister-in-law Lu twitched her lips.
That's a quick change of heart.
Qiao Wanyue tapped her fingers on her thigh, her expression unreadable. She stared at Qiao Shanshan's face, a slight smile playing on her lips.
Qiao Shanshan was reborn. When she stabbed herself in the chest with that sharp knife, her sisterly bond had long been severed.
How dare she mention the words "sisterhood" in front of her?
"Support?" She thought it was a joke.
Qiao Wanyue said, "What do I need your support for? Your husband is over twenty and still waiting at home for a woman to serve him. He's a good-for-nothing. He can't even work in the fields as well as a ten-year-old child."
You, pampered and spoiled by Liang Xiu, can't even tell the difference between wheat and grass. What can you possibly do?
Qiao Shanshan didn't feel embarrassed at all. "Sister, although Huaiyuan and I can't do farm work, we are quick-witted and can read. We are more educated than those illiterate farm women in the village. As long as you assign the work to us, we will definitely be able to do it better than anyone else."
She was quite pleased with herself after she finished speaking.
Qiao Wanyue understood.
The head of the construction team and greenhouses in Xiahe Village were in charge of recruitment, while Secretary Guo was in charge of the businesses such as window decorations and dried vegetables. The arrangements for the pastry workshop and the school required her approval.
Qiao Shanshan must have already visited the brigade leader and Secretary Guo's house. The position she's seeking requires their approval, which is why she took the opportunity to ask for forgiveness and then smoothly reveal her true purpose.
Qiao Wanyue rested her right cheek on her hand and tapped her head. "Qiao Shanshan, you said you would apologize to me on behalf of Qiao Sheng and Liang Xiu?"
Qiao Shanshan nodded.
How should I apologize?
Qiao Shanshan was stunned for a moment.
Sister-in-law Lu chimed in, "What else can you apologize for? Just say sorry verbally. She's young. Qiao Sheng and Liang Xiu are still your parents. They still love you. Don't hold it against them."
Qiao Shanshan stiffened.
Qiao Wanyue grinned, "Since you're apologizing, then let me see the sincerity of your apology. Since you know I still resent your marriage to Yang Huaiyuan, go and get a divorce, and I'll forgive you."
Qiao Wanyue's smile was more beautiful than the flowers in June.
Qiao Shanshan's face scrunched up like a bitter gourd.
She still had feelings for Huaiyuan.
Qiao Shanshan wanted to deny it right away, but then she thought, why not just agree verbally first? After all, it's up to her whether to get a divorce or not, so she should confirm the matter at hand first.
She got the job of a primary school teacher. Even if Qiao Wanyue found out that she was not divorced and her job was stable, how could Qiao Wanyue, who was just a small messenger in the village, possibly pull down a teacher like her?
I must say, she can be quite clever at times.
But it's also stupid.
"Sister, if I get a divorce, will you really forgive me?" Qiao Shanshan wanted to be your good little sister.
Qiao Wanyue blinked. "Of course."
“Okay, since my sister doesn’t approve, then I’ll get a divorce. But the paperwork will take a long time. I’ll tell my sister as soon as I’m done.” Qiao Shanshan’s voice was a little excited.
Qiao Wanyue smiled and said, "Mm."
Sister-in-law Lu nudged Wanyue and said in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Whatever you're going to do, don't believe her."
Qiao Wanyue lowered her voice, "You'll find out tomorrow."
Sister-in-law Lu knew that she didn't trust Qiao Shanshan, so she was relieved.
"What, aren't you leaving yet?" Qiao Wanyue looked at Qiao Shanshan, who was standing there like a pillar, with a half-smile.
Qiao Shanshan hesitated for a moment, then said, "Sister, can I ask you for a favor?"
