Chapter 30 Chapter 30 Who is that person?
Jiang Xi didn't care about those things. She herself had died once and knew that the most terrifying thing in this world was the human heart. Some people looked decent but were actually very ugly.
Therefore, she did not find Xiufen scary. On the contrary, she had a good impression of her because of Xiufen's frankness.
"It's okay. I understand what you just said, but I don't care. I'm a businessman. I only care whether the things I buy meet my needs. Nothing else matters."
Xiufen asked, "Really?"
Jiang Xi nodded. "However, business is business. We are in this long-term business. The price of chicken cannot be the same as the day before yesterday. You have to give me a lower price."
Xiufen nodded excitedly, "Of course. The price of buying one is definitely different from buying many. How much do you think it is?"
Xiufen rarely goes out because she is afraid of gossip.
Liu Daqiang was responsible for making money. As the children grew older, more and more places needed money. Xiufen also wanted to make some money to reduce Liu Daqiang's burden.
Originally, Xiufen wanted to raise chickens and sell them to supplement the family income, but for some reason, those who came to buy chickens were fine at first and praised her chickens, but after buying them, many of them came to return them.
Liu Daqiang was very angry and felt that those people were playing tricks on him, but those people still had the audacity to scold Liu Daqiang for being cruel and not considering his own reputation and selling things to harm others.
Xiufen felt very sad every time she heard such words. She could only persuade Liu Daqiang that it didn't matter if others didn't want it, he could just eat it himself.
After several setbacks, Xiufen didn't want to raise chickens anymore, but Liu Daqiang insisted that she continue, saying that the chickens she raised were very good and he loved to eat her chickens, so Xiufen persisted.
Therefore, Xiufen really wanted to make this deal, and she decided that as long as the price Jiang Xi offered could guarantee her capital gains, she would agree.
Jiang Xi didn't take advantage of the situation. She thought for a moment and offered a suitable price: "80 cents per pound, is that okay? I need it for a long time, so the price should be lower."
Xiufen didn't expect Jiang Xi to offer 80 cents per pound. She nodded hurriedly, "Okay, okay. Do you want them today? How many do you want today?"
Jiang Xi said: "Let's start with two today."
Xiufen is very careful in her work: "You can choose the ones yourself, and I will help you kill them. This way you don't have to kill chickens again when you go back."
Jiang Xi was very satisfied. Killing a chicken was a hard job. She and Wu Yaqin spent several hours killing a chicken last time. It would be great if they could handle the chicken well.
Jiang Xi approached the chicken coop. Wu Youli also stood aside and watched. He couldn't help but sigh: "These chickens are really well raised."
Jiang Xi pointed at the two chickens and said, "Let's take those two."
Liu Daqiang nodded and quickly grabbed the two chickens: "I'll kill them for you, just wait a moment."
Wu Youli also went up to help, and the two men quickly processed the chicken.
Jiang Xi and Xiufen said, "I'll come back tomorrow. You guys should prepare two chickens first. I see that your chickens are well-raised, so I won't be picky. You guys can kill two chickens tomorrow, and I'll come back this afternoon to get them."
Xiufen quickly nodded in agreement. Liu Daqiang grinned and said, "Welcome to come next time."
After sending Jiang Xi and the others to the door, Liu Daqiang took out a bag and filled it with a few large bones for Jiang Xi: "These bones are for you. Although there is no meat, they can still replenish nutrition by making some soup."
Jiang Xi declined, but Liu Daqiang said: "Thank you for buying the chickens raised by my wife. You don't know how important this is to her." Liu Daqiang was a big and strong man, but he was very sincere at this time. He stuffed the bag into Jiang Xi's hand and went to greet the guests.
Jiang Xi glanced at Liu Daqiang, then at the small courtyard behind him, and suddenly laughed.
It turns out that there are not only scumbags like Jiang Haibo in this world, there are also people like Liu Daqiang, who love their family and their wives so much.
After taking care of the food, Jiang Xi and Wu Youli returned to the village. As soon as they reached the door, they heard a cheerful voice.
"Jiang Xi, you're back!"
Jiang Xi looked in the direction of the voice and found it was Xie Xiaoju. She was also very surprised. She hadn't seen Xie Xiaoju since the last time she watched her quarrel with her stepmother.
Xie Xiaoju was in great shape. She pulled Jiang Xi close and said warmly, "Jiang Xi, you're finally back. I have a lot to tell you."
Jiang Xi was still holding the chicken in one hand: "Hey, wait, wait, the thing is going to fall."
Xie Xiaoju realized that she had been reckless and quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, Jiang Xi, I saw that you were so excited that I didn't pay attention to anything else."
Jiang Xi handed the bag to Wu Youli: "Uncle, you go back first. I want to talk to Xiaoju."
Wu Youli nodded, silently pushed the cart and carried the bag into the house.
The two little sisters deliberately walked to a place where there was no one.
"What happened that day? Have you been doing well these days?" Jiang Xi asked worriedly.
Xie Xiaoju curled her lips: "Now I know what you mean. A man should not only be able to take responsibility outside, but also be able to take care of things at home. Otherwise, if he gives up when encountering problems and throws all the troubles to women, such a man is not good."
Although Xie Dazhu is Xie Xiaoju's biological father, Xie Xiaoju still comments on him without hesitation.
Jiang Xi continued to ask, "How did your stepmother treat you after that day? Did she cause you any more trouble?"
Xie Xiaoju said: "That woman is the best at acting. She was very nice to me in front of my dad, but her face fell as soon as my dad left. I don't like to pay attention to her. Anyway, now she doesn't talk to me and I don't talk to her either. We treat each other as strangers."
"Does your father know about this situation?"
"Even if he knew, he couldn't do anything about it. Anyway, I've figured it out. Now, whenever Ye Guifen and I quarrel, as long as we don't quarrel in front of him, he pretends not to know. I don't have any expectations of him anymore."
"But my life is pretty good now. That woman doesn't dare to leave all the work to me." Xie Xiaoju was still very satisfied overall.
"Thanks to you for teaching me this method. I came here today to thank you."
"There's no need to say thank you between us, but don't be impulsive now. Ye Guifen is not a simple person. Be careful that she might trip you up again." Jiang Xi kindly reminded.
Xie Xiaoju assured: "Don't worry, I won't be impulsive. As long as she doesn't bother me, I won't care about her."
"Oh, by the way, how's your business going lately?"
Jiang Xi replied: "It's okay at the moment, but there are still many problems."
Xie Xiaoju was very confident in Jiang Xi: "No problem, Jiang Xi, you are so smart, even if you encounter a problem, you can solve it."
Xie Xiaoju suddenly thought of something and asked embarrassedly: "Jiang Xi, if you have time when you go to the county town, can you bring me a collection of poems? I'll give you the money."
Poetry collection? Jiang Xi was puzzled. She remembered that when she went to school with Xie Xiaoju in the same residential complex, Xie Xiaoju was a poor student. She felt like she was listening to a foreign language in class, especially in Chinese class. She would always fall asleep, and memorizing ancient poems was even more difficult.
Why are you actively buying books now? And it's a poetry collection?
Jiang Xi thought of the poem Xie Xiaoju wrote last time, and suddenly an idea popped into her mind, could it be?
Jiang Xi's expression turned serious: "Xiao Ju, tell me, why are you suddenly interested in poetry?"
Xie Xiaoju hesitated, "No, no, I just suddenly became interested. I saw some poems written by others and thought they were very good, so I wanted to try my hand at it too."
Jiang Xi keenly grasped the key point in Xie Xiaoju's words: "Others? Which others?"
Xie Xiaoju lowered her head and said, "Don't ask me. If it's inconvenient for you to take care of me, I can ask someone else to help."
Jiang Xi pretended to be unhappy: "Xiao Ju, we grew up together. Now you don't tell me anything. Are we still good friends?"
Xie Xiaoju blushed. She hesitated for a long time before leaning over to Jiang Xi's ear and saying, "Jiang Xi, I'm only telling you this. Don't tell anyone else."
Xie Xiaoju was acting mysterious, which made Jiang Xi feel even more strange.
"Don't worry, Xiaoju, I won't tell anyone." But if you were cheated, that's another matter, Jiang Xi said silently in his heart.
Xie Xiaoju finally spoke: "Actually, Li Zhiqing has been coming to see me often recently. He gave me flowers and wrote a few poems for me. He seems to want to date me."
"Li Zhiqing? Are you talking about Li Wenbin?"
Xie Xiaoju nodded shyly. Sure enough, Jiang Xi's face darkened. This scumbag started to lie again. Unexpectedly, he actually lied to Xie Xiaoju this time.
Jiang Xi said seriously: "Xiao Ju, Li Wenbin is not a good person, you should not have any contact with him."
Xie Xiaoju didn't believe it. "Comrade Li is very good. He speaks softly and treats me very well. He even said my name is nice, like a wild chrysanthemum from the mountains. He is a good man. Jiang Xi, do you have any misunderstandings about him?"
Jiang Xi understood Xie Xiaoju's thoughts. She was in a state of excitement and would not easily believe what others said. Even if she said more, she would not listen.
Jiang Xi sighed inwardly, but still warned Xie Xiaoju: "Xiaoju, promise me that no matter what he says or does, you won't get too deeply involved, and don't go out with him alone. He's an educated youth and will have to go back sooner or later. It's impossible for you to be with him."
Xie Xiaoju was confused and understood that Li Wenbin was an educated youth and it was impossible for him to stay in the village forever, but when she thought about what Li Wenbin said to her and the poems he wrote for her... no one had ever treated her like this before.
Xie Xiaoju couldn't bear to let him go for a while, so she could only say vaguely: "I don't understand what you mean. I just learned to write poetry with him and didn't think too much about it."
Jiang Xi knew that Xie Xiaoju was not telling the truth, and might not have thought so much about it at first, but Li Wenbin was particularly good at playing the long game and fishing for big fish. He deliberately approached Xie Xiaoju, and he must have wanted to get something from her.
Xie Xiaoju is very simple. As long as she thinks someone is good, she will be kind to them from the bottom of her heart. Jiang Xi is very afraid that Xie Xiaoju will be deceived.
When the two of them separated, Jiang Xi repeatedly said, "Xiao Ju, promise me that you will never go out alone with Li Wenbin."
Xie Xiaoju nodded hesitantly...
