Chapter 231 He Xiangju's Unbearable Past
He Xiangju listened to Ai Xiaoxia's words, feeling not only fear but also regret. She knew how well Jiang Xiuying was doing in the barbecue restaurant in the courtyard. She heard that her monthly salary as a foreman was almost as much as her salary at the Urban Construction Bureau.
And she heard that Jiang Xiuying still had room for advancement in the future. When she knew this, she resented Ai Xiaoxia even more for not thinking of her when there were good opportunities. However, she didn't expect that Ai Xiaoxia had other plans for her, and now everything was ruined by herself.
She really regretted it, and at this moment she shed tears of regret. She stood up and tried to hold Ai Xiaoxia's hand: "Sister-in-law, I was wrong. I was mean-spirited. Can you forgive me just once?"
Ai Xiaoxia dodged her hand and said, "We have different ideals and cannot work together. You'd better fend for yourself. I'm a petty person, and I'll remember this grudge."
He Xiangju was frightened. She asked Ai Xiaoxia in a trembling voice, "What do you want?"
Ai Xiaoxia laughed: "Are you scared? I promise I won't let you get away with it. I don't want to be too harsh on New Year's Day, but I can't guarantee how I'll hurt you in the future."
He Xiangju looked at Ai Xiaoxia, and the more she looked, the more frightened she felt. She burst into tears and said, "Sister-in-law, I was really wrong. You know my situation. I have always been oppressed by my parents' family, and later by my husband's family. So I have always lived very cautiously and dared not trust anyone. I opened a garment shop before and made some money. I was indeed arrogant and said some unpleasant things to you, but I really didn't mean any harm. I was just showing off. This time, I saw that you were doing well with the newly opened garment shop, so I thought you were taking revenge on me, so I was obsessed with it and did the wrong thing. I promise I won't do it again. Please forgive me this time."
Ai Xiaoxia looked at He Xiangju and asked, "Do you think I'm taking revenge on you? Am I really taking revenge on you? If you thought I was going to kill you, could you have called the police to arrest me? You're judging others with your own petty mind, and you still say it in a high-sounding way. You're also a talented person. You're not as pitiful as you say. You're more calculating than anyone else. I underestimated you before, but now I see clearly. Let's see what happens next."
After saying that, Ai Xiaoxia pulled Li Shaofen back to the room and closed the door. There was no need to say anything more to someone like He Xiangju because she was not worthy. Of course, Ai Xiaoxia didn't want to let it go. When Liu Hao came back, she must go and explain everything about He Xiangju to Liu Hao, so that he would know what kind of person He Xiangju was. Anyway, He Xiangju didn't want her to be well, so there was no need for her to be well.
After returning to the house, Li Shaofen was still angry: "What kind of neighbor is this? Why is he like this? He did this to me as soon as he saw me. I didn't even react. Fortunately, you came back quickly."
Ai Xiaoxia smiled and poured Li Shaofen a cup of hot water. "Mom didn't believe her either, didn't she? We're all upright people in this family. Why should we be afraid of this villain gossiping?"
Li Shaofen said, "You are still young. Villains are sometimes more difficult to deal with than gentlemen. You should be careful with this guy in the future."
Ai Xiaoxia nodded: "I understand. I didn't make her shave her teeth today, so she got away with it. It's New Year's Day, and I don't want to see blood."
Li Shaofen smiled: "I knew you wouldn't be bullied. If you want to hit her, mom will help you."
Lu Guojiu had just fallen asleep in the room and came out in a daze: "Why are you still hitting people? Who are you hitting?"
Ai Xiaoxia looked at her father-in-law and smiled: "I was just joking with my mother." She didn't need to make Lu Guojiu worry, it was not a big deal.
Seeing that Ai Xiaoxia didn't say anything, Li Shaofen didn't say anything either: "We are just chatting. It's getting late. I'm going to make lunch."
Ai Xiaoxia said: "Let's go together."
After the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law entered the kitchen, they whispered about what had just happened.
He Xiangju was crying her eyes out. She felt incredibly unlucky. She hadn't said anything, hadn't she? Why was it like she'd murdered someone? A few provocative words hadn't done anything wrong, so why was Ai Xiaoxia declaring war on her, as if she'd done something truly treasonous?
When she thought about it this way, she still felt a little guilty, but then she thought again, Ai Xiaoxia was just too talkative. It was obviously her fault too, so why did she blame everything on herself? It was because she could make money, and people would look up to her if she was rich and capable.
Why is God so unfair? He allows her to be so capable and make money, but why can't he make himself as capable as her?
Actually, if I think about it carefully, Ai Xiaoxia is still very scheming. She is now talking about opening a garment factory. If she had told me earlier, wouldn't I have avoided all the things that happened later? Speaking of which, isn't it all Ai Xiaoxia's fault?
Thinking of this, He Xiangju felt that she was not in the wrong.
At noon, Lu Jingshen came back and had lunch. After dinner, Ai Xiaoxia went back to the house with Lu Jingshen and told him about He Xiangju. Then Ai Xiaoxia told Lu Jingshen that she was going to He Xiangju's house to tell Liu Hao about it. She really wanted to take revenge on He Xiangju this time, and she would do it openly.
Lu Jingshen naturally supported his wife. He also thought that he should say something, at least to let Liu Hao know about it. And a woman like He Xiangju should be taught a lesson. Although he doesn't hit women, it doesn't mean he won't hit bitches. No matter who bullies Ai Xiaoxia, Lu Jingshen doesn't mind taking action. Today he will listen to his wife and go over to give them a warning. If this happens again in the future, don't blame him for being rude.
The two went to Liu Hao's house and knocked on the door.
He Xiangju and Liu Hao had just finished their meal. He Xiangju was cleaning up the dishes when Liu Hao came to open the door.
Liu Hao didn't know this and enthusiastically invited Lu Jingshen and Ai Xiaoxia in for tea.
He Xiangju heard someone coming and came out of the kitchen. When she saw Ai Xiaoxia and Lu Jingshen, the plate in her hand fell to the ground with a bang, and the porcelain pieces flew and shattered far away.
Liu Hao felt that something was wrong. He knew before that He Xiangju and Ai Xiaoxia had some conflicts, but now it seemed that things were not that simple.
His job was hard-earned. Lu Jingshen was his boss. He glared at He Xiangju and said sternly, "What's wrong with you? Engineer Lu and his sister-in-law are here. Clean up the floor quickly and make some tea."
He Xiangju never expected Ai Xiaoxia to bring Lu Jingshen with her. What was she doing here? To bring charges?
What she feared most was that her husband would find out about her little actions. Liu Hao seemed to be indifferent to everything, but if his bottom line was touched and his work was affected, he would really get angry.
In fact, there are some unknown secrets in their marriage itself, which can be regarded as a trap set by He Xiangju for Liu Hao.
They were classmates. Liu Hao had a crush on her at first, but he didn't confess his feelings because Liu Hao's ambition was to pass the college entrance examination and leave the countryside. He felt that there was no possibility for him and He Xiangju.
