Chu Jingqiu always felt that someone was looking at her with a disgusting gaze. She turned around and found that the short and stout Gu Dajiaolu was staring at her, her saliva almost flowing out.
She pretended to call all the assistants over and told them the requirements for the next coloring.
Gu Wanshan's view was blocked by his assistants, so he reluctantly withdrew his gaze and dragged his bloated body to Chu Jingqiu.
"Isn't this Xiao Chu? I didn't expect that Comrade Xiao Chu is also a talented woman. Her handwriting and paintings are much better than those of the people in the county cultural center." Gu Wanshan praised sincerely this time.
"Thank you for the compliment, Deputy Director Gu. I'm just being forced to do this. My skills are just barely passable." Chu Jingqiu responded.
"Be modest, young man, and don't underestimate yourself!" Gu Wanshan smoothed his greasy hair with his hands and looked up and down at her breasts and buttocks with lustful eyes.
Gu Wanshan exclaimed in his heart: What a beauty!
Chu Jingqiu was disgusted by him. "Deputy Director Gu, please watch first. Your guidance is always welcome. I'll go get some more colors. You're busy, so I won't disturb you."
Chu Jingqiu walked quickly into the Propaganda Department office. She sat down at her desk, seething with anger. Jiang Jiang sensed her rage and quickly prepared some spiritual spring water for her to drink.
After drinking the spiritual spring water, she felt the knot in her heart instantly loosen up. "Qiuqiu, I'm going to deal with that ugly pervert. He actually wanted to bully you." Jiang Jiang said angrily in her ear.
Before Chu Jingqiu could answer, he saw the fuel barrel on the high shelf in the yard fall down by itself and hit Gu Wanshan on the head, causing his head to bleed, mixed with the red paint, which was very bright.
Unable to tell which was blood and which was red dye, everyone quickly sent Gu Wanshan to the town hospital.
"Jiang Jiang, you little rascal, well done." Chu Jingqiu praised Jiang Jiang consciously.
Wang Sanjiang even bought some supplements and went to see Gu Wanshan. Although he disdained Gu Wanshan's behavior, he had to look at him politely since what happened in the Propaganda Department was an accident.
Gu Wanshan's hair, which he was proud of, was shaved off completely, and occasionally the redness of his skin could be seen. His head was wrapped with gauze, like a pig's head with the hair removed, which looked very funny.
What made him even more depressed was that when the secretary came to visit him, he not only did not comfort him, but also deliberately criticized him. Although he did not say it explicitly, he knew that he could not afford to offend Chu Jingqiu.
Gu Wanshan was filled with rage, but he had nowhere to vent it. He thought to himself: I can't afford to offend Chu Jingqiu right now, but I'm determined to get Zhang Pingping. Thinking of this, his heart was burning with anger again.
Chu Jingqiu, who was temporarily classified by Gu Wanshan as someone who could not be offended, was humming a little tune and riding a bicycle towards the town supply and marketing cooperative.
She planned to treat Qian Yunyun to lunch at noon. When they arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative, a customer was buying a watch and Qian Yunyun was patiently explaining it to the customer.
Chu Jingqiu waved to Qian Yunyun, and then she turned around and took a look.
It was almost noon and there were no customers in the supply and marketing cooperative. Many sales clerks were packing up and getting ready to go off work.
"Everyone, please come early this afternoon. New products have arrived today. We will try to put them on the shelves earlier this afternoon." A middle-aged woman came in from the back door and instructed the salesperson while standing at the agricultural and sideline products counter.
Chu Jingqiu only saw her profile, and she knew at a glance that this was Qian Yunyun's mother, Li Mengxue.
Wasn't she supposed to be back tomorrow? It seems she came back at noon today.
Chu Jingqiu decided to meet Li Mengxue. She deliberately walked to the agricultural and sideline products counter in front of Li Mengxue and pointed at the chili powder inside. "How much is this chili powder?"
"Five cents a pound, no ticket needed," the salesperson replied.
Then Chu Jingqiu asked for a pound of chili powder. She deliberately looked face to face with Li Mengxue. Li Mengxue glanced at her and could not see any panic in her.
Chu Jingqiu thought: Boss Ma had seen me in the woodshed, but maybe because it was dark, she didn't see clearly, so she didn't remember me.
When a criminal sees a victim standing in front of him, he will generally panic subconsciously.
This Li Mengxue is either not Boss Ma, or she has a very strong mental state. If she is a real agent, it is normal that she does not show any panic.
To be able to lurk here for so many years, it must be possible without real skills.
"Jingqiu!" Qian Yunyun waved to her at the counter.
Chu Jingqiu took the packaged chili powder and walked to Qian Yunyun's counter. He smiled and said, "Yunyun, let's go to the restaurant to eat together! It's my treat."
Li Mengxue also came over later. She pointed at Chu Jingqiu and said, "Yunyun, is this Chu Zhiqing?"
Qian Yunyun didn't answer her. She said to Chu Jingqiu, "Okay, let's eat together. Let's go!"
"You must be Aunt Li, right? My name is Chu Jingqiu, and my name is Yunyun..."
Before Chu Jingqiu could finish speaking, Qian Yunyun dragged him out.
Chu Jingqiu was at a loss for words and could only wave goodbye to Li Mengxue.
The two walked out of the supply and marketing cooperative, and Qian Yunyun sat on the back of Chu Jingqiu's bicycle. Seeing that Chu Jingqiu was still confused, she smiled bitterly and said, "Do you think my attitude towards my mother is rude? In fact, this is how we have always gotten along.
My mother is a very strong woman. She always likes to make decisions for others and ask them to do things she is unwilling to do.
So we often quarreled, and later, we just went into a cold war."
"You are mother and daughter. You should communicate properly if there is anything. A cold war won't solve the problem!"
"We're here. I'll tell you later when we have dinner." Qian Yunyun jumped off the bicycle.
After entering the restaurant, the two of them ordered a dish of beef stewed with potatoes, a dish of stir-fried meat with green peppers, and a mushroom soup, and asked for two small bowls of rice.
A total of one yuan and two cents and half a pound of food coupons were spent. Chu Jingqiu paid the money and sat by the window with Qian Yunyun waiting.
Qian Yunyun took out a small bag of beef jerky from her bag and handed it to Chu Jingqiu. "Here, eat it. It's time to fill your stomach. The food will be served soon."
Chu Jingqiu took the beef jerky, put it in her mouth and chewed it slowly. She was thinking about how to start the conversation and asked Qian Yunyun to continue the previous topic when Qian Yunyun took the initiative to speak.
“When I was little, my brother and I had a happy childhood. Our mother was gentle, virtuous and considerate.
Later, my younger brother Qian Xiaobao was born, and my mother gave all her patience to Qian Xiaobao.
If Qian Xiaobao wants the stars in the sky, she won't give him the moon. Everything revolves around Qian Xiaobao.
I remember one time, Qian Xiaobao tore up my homework book. I was so angry that I slapped him. My mother picked up the broom and hit me so hard that I lay there and couldn't get up.
My brother wanted to buy a bicycle, but she refused to buy it for him; Qian Xiaobao wanted a radio, but she didn't even bother to eat and bought it for him.
When my brother got married, she was reluctant to even give the betrothal money, and said that my brother spent a lot and had to leave some for Qian Xiaobao.
Later, my father saw that she was really being unreasonable, so he forcefully demanded some money from her, and only then was my brother able to get married successfully.
My brother moved out as soon as he got married, and since then my mom has been at home, while my brother and sister-in-law haven't been back."
