On the other side, in a room, "Haha, boss, let me tell you, that woman asked us to do so much, but in the end she only got 10 yuan. Just thinking about it makes me want to laugh, haha... Oh, such a great opportunity, but we missed it. How stupid! That woman must be mad to death. 50 yuan for 10 yuan, what a loss."
"That's none of our business. We did what we were supposed to do and collected the money we were supposed to collect. Whether the result was good or bad is none of our business. Did it arouse anyone's suspicion?"
"The boy's father went to the stone to check it out, but didn't say anything. "Don't worry, Boss! Who would suspect a five or six-year-old? If there's oil on the stone, they'll just think it's from the child's food." Who would have guessed that a child who looked five or six was actually a 20-year-old? Not only ordinary people, but even the police wouldn't have guessed it. Boss, with his appearance, had deceived one person after another, and he'd never failed, allowing them to eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks every day.
If Jiang Mingli were there, he would definitely recognize these two people. One was the young man who was looking for him to chat, and the other was the child who was looking for his son to play.
After returning home, Li Qiuguo pretended to be sick and took three days off. She then asked someone to spread the news that she fell ill in order to save Jiang Wenchen who fell into the water.
The rumors that had just died down became popular again, saying that Li Qiuguo loved Jiang Mingli so deeply that she would even give up her life for Jiang Mingli.
Many nosy people and matchmakers came to Jiang Mingli, saying that Li Qiuguo was a rare and good girl and asked him not to let her down. Jiang Mingli immediately clarified the matter, but these people refused to listen and insisted that their guess was correct, which made Jiang Mingli very angry.
Jiang Mingli's supervisor had heard about it, so he called him in for questioning. "Mingli, I'm not going to hide anything from you. I called you here today to ask what's going on between you and Li Qiuguo. It's been a big rumor in the factory lately. If it continues like this, the impact will be bad."
"Brother Li, I'm sorry to have caused you trouble..." Jiang Mingli told the story of Li Qiuguo saving Jiang Wenchen that day.
"I was with my two children at the time, and I was worried something might have happened to my son, so I gave Li Qiuguo ten yuan to express my gratitude. I also saw that she was in good spirits, and I didn't expect her to be sick. I don't know who started these rumors, and I can't explain them."
"Even though you gave her 10 yuan? She's sick after all, so you should spend a little more money to repay the favor and stop the rumors in the factory. Mingli, if you really don't want to have anything to do with Li Qiuguo, be clear about your attitude. Don't be afraid of offending others and don't cause trouble for yourself. If you need leave, tell me and take care of this matter first."
"Okay, thank you, Brother Li."
When someone again joked with Jiang Mingli and talked nonsense, Jiang Mingli harshly criticized him, making him doubt his life and almost lose his mind. He used a trick of killing the chicken to scare the monkeys. The laughing people behind him dared not approach again, and the comments suddenly became quiet.
Jiang Mingli returned home and found two familiar aunts next door and asked them to accompany him to see Li Qiuguo. Jiang Mingli gave them a can of malted milk and 20 yuan to express his gratitude again, and his words were full of repaying the favor.
Li Qiuguo felt angry and sad when she saw Jiang Mingli avoiding her like the plague.
…
If hard tactics and conspiracy don't work, then I'll try soft tactics. Even if I have to use force, I will definitely take down Jiang Mingli.
Li Qiuguo found Jiang Mingli in private, with a hint of sadness on his body, "Jiang Mingli, do you hate me so much? I admit that I wanted to leave Wenchen in your hometown at the beginning, because Wenchen didn't go to school, and it wouldn't affect him if he stayed in his hometown for the time being. Wenzhe is older now, so he doesn't need much care? This way you can focus more energy and attention on me. I just like you too much, so I want to attract more of your attention. I know I was wrong now, and I won't do it again. Can we start over? This is the first time I have liked someone so much since I was a child. I don't want to give up just like that. I will treat the two children well in the future..." As Li Qiuguo spoke, tears fell from her eyes, and her eyes were full of pleading and nostalgia, which really made people feel distressed.
To be honest, Jiang Mingli felt extremely satisfied in his heart to be admired and liked by so many people.
If Li Qiuguo had said this when they first returned to the provincial capital, Jiang Mingli would have definitely forgiven her. But in this situation, even if Jiang Mingli didn't blame Li Qiuguo, he wouldn't let him have anything to do with her.
Jiang Mingli had just made a promise to his boss and scolded the gossipers at the factory... If he reconciled with Li Qiuguo and became a lover now, wouldn't that be a slap in the face? Besides, Jiang Mingli always suspected that Li Qiuguo was the one behind the factory rumors! No matter how nice Li Qiuguo said, it couldn't hide her thoughts.
"Comrade Li, I think I have made it very clear. We are not suitable. I hope you will not waste your time on me. You will definitely find someone who is suitable for you in the future." It would be better for me to find a woman who is more peaceful and stable.
On the other side, Q City.
"Shushu, you don't have to wait for me the night after tomorrow. My colleagues and I are hosting a bachelor party for Zhao Laifu. Zhao Laifu came to my bachelor party last year, so I have to go to his. I won't be back until very late."
Jiang Shushu was a little surprised, "Zhao Lai Fu? I remember you told me during the Chinese New Year that he was a bachelor. Now it's only been more than two months away from the Chinese New Year, and you're getting married already? This is too fast. Have you figured out the girl's character?" If it's the same as the last one, I won't know where to cry when they get married.
"Zhao Laifu was such a secretive guy. We only found out he had a girlfriend last week when his girlfriend came to see him. Now, Zhao Laifu's girlfriend grew up in the same apartment building as him. Both sets of parents know each other very well, and so do they. During the Chinese New Year, both sets of parents asked a matchmaker to arrange a blind date for them. Coincidentally, they asked the same matchmaker, who brought them together. Then, as they chatted, they fell in love instantly. It happened so quickly."
Yang Xiaobei suddenly laughed himself. "Haha... Zhao Laifu's girlfriend is a female soldier. She's very decisive. After they fell in love, she immediately told both sets of parents and then looked for a date. It just so happened that the engagement and wedding dates were only 20 days apart. Zhao Laifu was completely stunned, like a young wife. So he was too embarrassed to tell us, afraid that we would think he was too anxious. We didn't know until his girlfriend came to the police station to find him."
"Haha... so that's how it is. You're worthy of being a soldier, your execution is truly amazing. Go, go, have some fun, and bring that nice bottle of wine from home to share in the good cheer."
