Not long after walking out of the Lou family's house, Shen Baolan complained to Zhou Shuhuan.

Zhou Shuhuan showed a ferocious sneer on his face, "Okay, if you don't go, Huayuan will cut off our supply, the factory will shut down, and we will be in debt. We can work together to pay off the debt for the rest of our lives!"

Shen Baolan was stunned by the shouting and said unconvincedly: "They are not the only one selling circuit boards, can't you change to another one?"

"Do you think you can do whatever you want? The goods we deliver to others, the brand of parts we use, are clearly written in black and white in the contract. If you want to change it, you can change it. Why don't you go to heaven?"

Shen Baolan was stunned.

Zhou Shuhuan pointed at her and said, "Either go to the Lou family to shovel dog shit, or we can play with eggs together. It's your choice!"

There was no other way, Shen Baolan could only hold her nose and go to the Lou family to work as a dog nanny, while Qiao Ya returned to the electronics factory to continue working as Zhou Shuhuan's secretary, and Huayuan no longer mentioned terminating the cooperation.

After working for less than half a month, Shen Baolan couldn't stand it anymore.

Taking care of a dog is not only dirty and tiring, but also extremely stressful.

When I go out in the morning, I have to take the dogs out to urinate and defecate. When I get back, I have to be busy cooking for the dogs. At noon, after the dogs finish eating, they have to go out to defecate again. In the afternoon, I have to bathe and comb the dogs' hair. After I'm done, I don't have time to catch my breath because I have to cook dinner for the dogs. After eating, I have to take the dogs out for a walk to help them defecate and urinate.

After a whole day, my bones are all broken.

But Shen Baolan didn't dare to say directly that she didn't want to do the job anymore, for fear that Qiao Limei would get angry and cut off the electronics factory's supply.

"My mother-in-law accidentally broke her leg while going downstairs. I have to go back to take care of her. You have to find someone else to do this job."

After stating the reason for her resignation, Shen Baolan became so nervous that her heart was in her throat.

If Qiao Limei insisted on not letting go, she would not dare to leave.

Unexpectedly, Qiao Limei was not embarrassed and said, "The old man's health is important, you go back and take care of him."

Shen Baolan felt relieved and almost jumped up with excitement. The next second she heard Qiao Limei say:

"I heard that your mother is also in Focheng. Starting tomorrow, let her take over your job."

Shen Baolan didn't dare to refuse, as long as she wasn't asked to do it.

After all, this trouble was caused by her mother. If Liu Cuihua hadn't warned her against it, she wouldn't have provoked Qiao Ya.

After returning, Shen Baolan told Liu Cuihua about this.

Liu Cuihua was of course not happy, but Shen Baolan had already thought of a countermeasure and promised to lend money to her elder brother Shen Hao to open a snack bar after this matter was over.

Only then did Liu Cuihua agree to replace Shen Baolan and work as a dog nanny in the Lou family.

After packing her luggage overnight, Shen Baolan took her son on the train back to Fengcheng early the next morning.

Compared with the lofty ambitions when they came, it seems like they are escaping in a rather embarrassing manner.

Seeing that Shen Baolan returned to Fengcheng so quickly, Ma Sufen naturally had to ask about it, worried that Shen Baolan had gotten into trouble there.

Naturally, Shen Baolan didn't dare to tell the truth. She used the excuse that Yuanbao couldn't adapt to the climate in Focheng and was always sick, so she returned to Fengcheng.

Seeing her grandson looking darker and thinner, Ma Sufen actually believed it.

Little do people know that the reason for being dark is that there is too much sunshine in Focheng, and the temperature is higher than here. Children always like to run outside, so they naturally get tanned and thin.

On the train, Shen Baolan had made up her mind that she would never go to Focheng again, so she asked Zhou Shuhuan to give her some money to open a snack bar in Fengcheng, which she ran together with her elder brother Shen Hao.

After a good night's sleep, Shen Baolan was about to go out to check on the shop early the next morning when the police showed up at her door.

Shen Baolan thought that she and Liu Cuihua could escape Shen Mingzhu's prosecution by running away to Focheng. However, if they had learned more law, they would know that if the plaintiff provided sufficient evidence, the court could make a judgment in absentia.

The police came to Shen Baolan's house, firstly to deliver the verdict to her, and secondly to detain her.

Just like that, Shen Baolan, who had just escaped from the wolf's den of the Lou family, turned around and fell into the tiger's den of prison.

Upon learning the news that Shen Baolan was arrested, Zhou Shuhuan was not very angry, but rather felt deeply helpless and desperate.

He was fed up with Shen Baolan's endless trouble and mischief.

After a night of careful consideration, he took the initiative to ask Qiao Ya to have dinner alone.

The restaurant was Qiaoya's favorite, and the dishes were all to Qiaoya's taste, and her intention to please her was not concealed.

"Brother Zhou, if you have anything to say, just tell me. If I can help, I will definitely help."

Under the crystal chandelier in the restaurant, Qiao Ya smiled widely, supporting her chin with one hand. She wore a halter dress, revealing her slender shoulders and neck. She had the innocence of a girl yet was charming.

Zhou Shuhuan picked up the wine glass and drank it all, suppressing the inexplicable restlessness in his heart, "Xiao Qiao, I want to ask you something, can you let my mother-in-law go back to Fengcheng."

"I knew you were here for this."

Qiao Ya grumbled, but agreed to his request, "Okay, I'll find some time to talk to my aunt."

In order to appease her, Zhou Shuhuan told her all the troubles that Shen Baolan and Liu Cuihua had caused in Fengcheng.

After hearing this, Qiao Ya felt relieved but couldn't help but express deep sympathy for Zhou Shuhuan.

Under the influence of alcohol, Zhou Shuhuan chattered on and on about all his experiences over the years.

His ex-wife was a rich girl who despised the poor and loved the rich. After divorcing him, he married Shen Baolan to be his son's stepmother. He thought that the country girl would be down-to-earth and hardworking, but who would have thought that she was a troublemaker.

Men don't shed tears easily, but they do when they are sad.

Looking at the man with red eyes, Qiao Ya felt sympathy and pity.

Compassion between opposite sexes is often dangerous and deadly.

In fact, Zhou Shuhuan's maturity, melancholy and loneliness are all very attractive to Qiao Ya.

"Brother Zhou, no wonder I rarely see you smile. I thought you were born not to smile. It turns out that you have too many things in your heart."

Zhou Shuhuan smiled bitterly and shook his head, "I'm sorry to have embarrassed you."

"No, I like to listen. Brother Zhou, I want to know everything about you."

This is bold and straightforward.

The undisguised admiration in the girl's eyes was like a flame, which made Zhou Shuhuan's heart flutter.

"Xiao Qiao, you are a good girl. Someone like me is not worthy of you."

"But I like men like you, Zhou, who are experienced, talented, hardworking, and self-disciplined."

There are many wealthy men around Qiao Ya, but most of them have the bad habit of cheating and keeping lovers. In her opinion, those who are loyal and devoted like Zhou Shuhuan are a rare species.

Zhou Shuhuan felt as if a storm was brewing in his heart.

In his thirty-plus years of life, this was the first time a woman had given him such high affirmation and praise.

"Brother Zhou, what about you? Do you like me like this?"

The girl's voice was filled with innocence and pride: "If you like me, I will stay by your side and help you expand the factory. If you don't like me, I will disappear immediately and will never appear in front of you again. I mean what I say." (End of this chapter)
