Chapter 88



It was the first time He Lingling met Jiang Li, so she looked a little unfamiliar. When she saw her walking in, she greeted her, "Comrade, this is our leadership office. You can't go in."

Jiang Li smiled and said, "I'm here to see your deputy director Qi. Is he in there?"

"It's lunch time now. Our leader has gone to the cafeteria. What can I do for you?" He Lingling took a breath secretly. This girl is so pretty. When she smiles, she looks like a movie star.

She has big watery eyes with little swirls on both sides, and speaks slowly.

She was wearing a camel-colored cashmere coat and an off-white scarf, which made her look like she was covered in a layer of golden light.

"I have an appointment with your leader to have dinner together. Can I go in and wait for her? I am his wife."

He Lingling and Yang Mei were both dumbfounded. They had specially inquired about it yesterday and heard that the deputy director's wife was a country girl.

They originally thought it would be rustic, but the actual image was quite different from what they imagined.

Qi Shaoqiang came over after lunch, looking very happy and jogging. He Lingling and Yang Mei looked at him in surprise for a while and tiptoed to look into the office.

Qi Shaoqiang closed the door expressionlessly, "Have you finished your meal?"

"Let's go eat now." He Lingling was quick to notice her leader's unhappiness and immediately grabbed Yang Mei and ran away.

A woman in a headscarf was walking upstairs from the first floor, revealing her eyes. He Lingling thought she looked familiar and took a few more glances.

Just as he and his wife were enjoying a rare undisturbed time, there was another knock on the office door. "Shaoqiang, are you there?"

Jiang Li put down her chopsticks and looked at Qi Shaoqiang with a half-smile.

Qi Shaoqiang was very nervous. His wife had just questioned him about Zhang Qiaohui last night. Why was she here again today?

He made a gesture to beg for mercy. Jiang Lixiao didn't want to make a fool of herself in front of others, so she motioned for him to open the door.

Just as he opened the door, a weak body bumped into his arms. Qi Shaoqiang quickly stepped back, while Zhang Qiaohui staggered and took several steps forward before she steadied herself.

She didn't notice Jiang Li sitting in the cubicle office, and said to Qi Shaoqiang, "Sister-in-law is not feeling well. She almost fainted. I'm sorry to have made a fool of you."

When she came, she even put some powder on her face. She looked like she was short of energy, which was enough to make people feel sorry for her. She waited for Qi Shaoqiang to show concern for her, but she didn't get what she wanted.

Qi Shaoqiang's head was almost broken by the strings, and his body leaned back straight, "Sister-in-law Sun, what do you want to talk to me about?"

"It's like this, Shaoqiang. Last time you came to my house to give me the pension, you said that you could arrange jobs for the families of soldiers who died in the line of duty. I wanted to ask, what kind of jobs are there?"

Qi Shaoqiang frowned, "Sun's sister-in-law, you can only choose between the pension and the job. I told you clearly last time. Either you take the team's subsidy in one lump sum, or you are arranged to work in the factory. You chose to take the money at the beginning, so it is impossible for you to work temporarily now."

Zhang Qiaohui opened her mouth, at a loss, tears falling like scattered beads, "I am a woman with little knowledge, how could I know this. How about sister-in-law return the five yuan in compensation?"

"It's true that there are difficulties at home. We have to take care of your elder brother Jianguo's funeral, and there is no money at home, so we can't do it. I'm begging you, please help me.

If you are willing to do this for me, I will agree to whatever you want," Zhang Qiaohui said meaningfully, meeting Qi Shaoqiang's gaze.

Qi Shaoqiang's hair stood up, "Zhang Qiaohui, what are you doing?"

He was a fool without any brains, and now he understood what Zhang Qiaohui was planning. He shouted for his wife inside for help, and Jiang Li came out.

Zhang Qiaohui bit her lip and looked at Jiang Li, with a hint of guilt in her eyes, and soon a hint of jealousy and unwillingness.

"Sister-in-law of the Sun family, I'm glad to see you again," Jiang Li smiled slightly and stood in front of Qi Shaoqiang.

This woman first reported herself on the black market, and then turned around and threw herself into the arms of this man, really thinking that she was a vegetarian.

"Sister-in-law, Shaoqiang is a grown man and clumsy, so it's inevitable that he is not as careful as a woman. If you have any difficulties in the future, please come to me. We women have something to talk about."

Jiang Li first threw away her attitude and blocked Zhang Qiaohui's mouth, so as to prevent this woman from crying and ruining Qi Shaoqiang's reputation outside.

"Yes," Zhang Qiaohui responded, "What about this job?"

Jiang Li smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, Shaoqiang can't decide on work. On the one hand, we need to see if there are any job vacancies in the nearby factories.

You know, the factory has good benefits, and it is difficult to get a place as a layoff worker. Opportunities are fleeting.

The jobs that existed back then may not still exist today.”

"On the other hand, if your sister-in-law comes to work in the county, will your two children follow you or stay in the country?"

"Of course my children follow me!"

Zhang Qiaohui glared at Jiang Li hatefully. How could a person who had never given birth to a child know how deep her feelings were for the child she had carried out for ten months in the womb? She could not leave her own army for a moment.

"Sister-in-law, Junjun and Mingming are still young. When you go to work, there is no one at home to take care of the children.

If you want your parents-in-law to come to the city to take care of the children, then renting a house will be another expense, and everything else costs money.

I'm afraid your salary is not enough for your family."

After Jiang Li's analysis, Zhang Qiaohui's face changed. How could she possibly want these two old fools to come to the city to enjoy a good life? They eat and drink her food, are they worthy?

Of course, she didn't know that there was a daycare center in the factory. Children over three years old could be sent there, and Jiang Lili deliberately didn't tell her.

"Then what should I do in the future?" Zhang Qiaohui was really sad this time.

"Sister-in-law, I have an idea for you. You are still young and good-looking, so why not remarry with your child?"

"No!" Zhang Qiaohui was extremely nervous. How could she marry into a good family with two children? Besides, if she got married, how could she get Qi Shaoqiang's help?

Seeing Qi Shaoqiang and Jiang Li looking at her with questioning eyes, Zhang Qiaohui added a few words, "I don't want to remarry. I'm still thinking about your eldest brother Sun. Besides, the child is still young, and I'm afraid of hurting the child's feelings."

"It's understandable. Sister-in-law originally wanted to remain faithful to Brother Sun. Sister-in-law and Brother Sun have a really good relationship!" Jiang Li said this deliberately, watching Zhang Qiaohui's face getting redder and redder.

After being scolded by Jiang Li for a few words, Zhang Qiaohui knew she couldn't stay any longer, so she said goodbye and left in a hurry.
