Chapter 6



Qiao Zhixia's more than 1,000 pieces of white radish were sold out at a price ten times higher than the market price.

Her radishes were all very different, costing four dollars each, but when she finally counted the money, she actually earned six dollars.

I know that the wages of ordinary workers in the city have not even exceeded one yuan.

Not to mention the rural people, it would be a big mistake to earn thirty or fifty yuan a month.

She earned in one afternoon what other people would earn in several months. It seemed that her plan to support her family by selling vegetables was working.

Before leaving, she gave five dollars to the owner of the restaurant next door and gave him two white radishes that she had left in advance.

Although they did not take the initiative to charge her for the booth, she voluntarily paid it so that she could have a better future.

When doing business, you must know how to make trade-offs. Even if you have a lot of money, you can make others willing to make friends with you.

In the afternoon, she returned to the village. As soon as she entered the village, she saw Chen Jidong with an anxious look on his face.

The man who used to happily pass by her now only feels unlucky when he sees her.

But some things still need to be concluded, so be patient for now.

"Did your lover die today? Why do you have time to come to this poor place? Are you afraid of dirtying the boss's shoes?"

Chen Jidong looked up and saw her coming back, his expression changed immediately.

"Qiao Zhixia, you're back at ease. Let's go to the county public security bureau right away to get Qiuqiu to sign a letter of forgiveness."

Qiao Zhixia was amused by his shamelessness: "You mean signing a lottery? You are the one who was poisoned, right?"

"Qiuqiu was just confused for a moment, and the laxative she gave you was just for the beast, it won't kill anyone at all. Are you okay too? For your sake..."

"Stop! First of all, you have lost all your face and status here. Secondly, since you think that the beastly laxative is deadly, I will pay for you to buy a bottle of it. You can eat it with rice. If you are fine after eating it, how about you sign the letter of apology immediately?"

Chen Jidong choked, but then he looked disappointed and resentful, and started to accuse:

"Qiao Zhixia, how did you become like this? I always thought you were kind and optimistic, but now it seems you are so petty and mean!"

Qiao Zhixia sneered: "I only admit that I had good eyesight before, but I actually treated trash as a treasure. Fortunately, I am sober now. Your words have hurt me."

"You..." Chen Jidong felt a little disappointed when he saw her looking so serious.

He had seen her enthusiastic look when she liked him, which was completely different from her current indifference.

Fortunately, he has decided to choose Wang Ruoqiu. He already knows how Qiao Zhixia treats him.

"I'm doing you a favor by getting married, but our relationship is just a forced one. Qiuqiu stayed in the countryside for me and even missed the college entrance exam. I can't let her down again. Now I can see clearly that I really like Qiuqiu. The person I marry will only love Qiuqiu. I only treat you as my sister."

Qiao Zhixia found his hypocritical almsgiving and sympathetic look so disgusting that she couldn't help but slap him twice.

“Pah-Pah—”

After being slapped, Chen Jidong suppressed his anger and said, thinking that it was fair:

"This is yours, we are even now."

"Chen Jidong, I accompanied you to work in the sea when you were ten years old, and sent you from the countryside to the city. When you were twenty years old, you told me that you were going to marry someone else, and you only told me after our wedding banquet, what were you doing before? You loved each other so much, and you had been together for a long time, why did you provoke me? You thought I could help your family make money, right? You and your family are really bad and despicable!"

The clean and warm boy in my memory is finally unrecognizable.

The shamelessness after the emotions are exhausted is really disgusting.

"you……"

Chen Jidong was speechless for a moment. He and Wang Ruoqiu had indeed done everything they should have done.

At that critical period when he opened a branch, Qiao Zhixia really helped him a lot, allowing him to seize the opportunity of reform and opening up and quickly gain a foothold in the county.

The reason why he was reluctant to give up Qiao Zhixia was, firstly, because they grew up together, and secondly, because of her talent in business.

Now that Qiao Zhixia had pointed it out, he was speechless and felt guilty.

But his mother didn't think so. Before Xia Hongmei, who had received the news and rushed over, could get close, she started to shout loudly.

"You do business with Dongzi, your boss, and he pays you 30 yuan a month. What else are you satisfied with?"

Sister Chen Lingling also agreed: "You and brother haven't even got married yet! You're still thinking about sharing the money in the family, right? You're dreaming!"

The mother and daughter came together to respond to Qiao Zhixia's sarcastic remarks, saying that fortunately they didn't get the marriage certificate, although they still knew that she went for the Chen family's money.

Qiao Zhixia had no intention of paying attention to these two people. When the market was first opened to individual business owners, the Chen family had no intention of doing business.

It's so easy to save some money, but few people dare to take risks.

Qiao Zhixia and Chen Jidong analyzed the economic situation and believed that only the brave ones could have the chance to make money at this critical juncture.

Although Chen Jidong didn't know how she knew all this, he was still convinced by her.

The Chen family then took out a small amount of funds and let Chen Jidong test the waters. The two started with a street stall, opened a store two years later, and then opened two stores in succession.

This is how the Chen family became the richest family in the village today, but it is obvious that the Chen family now wants to destroy the bridge after crossing the river.

But Qiao Zhixia was not angry, because she regarded it as retribution for her blindness.

At that time, the two were engaged, and she helped him with his business without any selfish motives. Who knew that she would end up helping someone else?

But fortunately, she woke up again.

Qiao Zhixia ignored the mother and daughter and turned to Chen Jidong and said, "If you want to sign the letter of understanding, that's fine, but there are two conditions!"

When Chen Jidong heard this, he immediately agreed: "You go ahead."

"First, you need to make up for the spiritual reputation of the group. Second, you need to write an apology letter, go to the village entrance and apologize to the village head in public, and let the village secretary testify to make it clear that our marriage is valid."

Chen Jidong said without hesitation: "Okay...

"Okay! Forget about the apology. What do you rely on for the money?" Xia Hongmei agreed immediately.

This is a small amount, and their clothing store also makes a few dollars a month.

Qiao Zhixia was too lazy to talk to them. It was a waste of time to reason with such unreasonable people.

She said coldly, "Give it to me as you please. Give it to me and let Wang Ruoqiu stay in the bureau and yell. It's really urgent."

Chen Jidong thought that his beloved Qiuqiu was still in the police station, and he became anxious: "Give it to me, I'll go get the money tomorrow..."

"Don't forget to apologize." Qiao Zhixia said, turned around and walked away, no longer paying attention to the chaos of the mother and her two children behind her.

The next day at noon, Qiao Zhixia was cooking when she heard someone in the village shouting that Chen Jidong was reading an apology letter at the entrance of the village.

The news spread among the villagers, and they all came with their bowls in hand to watch the fun. In a short while, the Chen family became the laughing stock of the whole village.

After Chen Jidong explained that he and Qiao Zhixia had not obtained a marriage certificate and that she had become the daughter-in-law of the Chen family, he admitted that he had let her down and would wish her all the best in the future.

Not long after the crowd dispersed, Chen Jidong came out with the village party secretary.

Witnessed by the village party secretary and a group of villagers who were watching the excitement, the two took back their gifts and dowries and completely clarified their relationship.

We will get married and have nothing to do with each other in the future!

In front of the village party secretary, Chen Jidong gave the piece of money to Qiao Zhixia.

"As long as you are kind to me, we can still be friends even though we are husband and wife."

Qiao Zhixia took the money and said, "Get lost——"
