Chapter 104: Stab wherever it hurts

Guan Yao readily agreed. If she couldn't figure out something, fortune-telling would be a good idea. She took out fifty yuan for the fortune-telling.

As usual, Jin Shanshan came over and took out a fortune stick. Jiang Hanyan looked at it and began to interpret it, "Sister Yao, your old classmate is very lucky for you. The fortune stick shows that although there will be twists and turns in the road ahead, good things come to those who wait, and you will have a successful career and love life!"

Upon hearing about the fruitful relationship, Principal Meng was excited and quickly asked, "Is my future brother-in-law in Shanghai?"

"That's right, Sister Yao's lucky star has moved. Good luck on this trip to Shanghai!"

Jiang Hanyan's words moved Principal Meng deeply. What he was most worried about was that his sister would be lonely all her life. Since his career and love were both successful in Shanghai, he must go.

Guan Yao blushed and her heart beat fast. She thought of her old classmate Zhou Yi. When she was in college, Zhou Yi and his ex-husband pursued her together, but she finally chose his ex-husband. After graduation, Zhou Yi went to Hong Kong to develop and had not returned for more than ten years. They only contacted each other recently.

The Red Luan Star should have nothing to do with Zhouyi, right?

Jiang Hanyan saw this and secretly laughed. The relationship between Tang Dynasty boss Zhou Yi and Guan Yao must be complicated.

As expected, Guan Yao's second husband is Zhou Yi, and they will have a son and a daughter.

She didn't try to persuade her much. Guan Yao was decisive and opinionated, and didn't need anyone's persuasion. Besides, since she asked about this, it was obvious that she wanted to go, but was worried about the failure of her business. Now the hexagram showed good luck, and Guan Yao should have made up her mind.

"It looks like we'll meet again in Shanghai. Let's keep in touch then."

Before leaving, Guan Yao held Jiang Hanyan's hand with a warm tone, and it was obvious that she had made up her mind to develop in Shanghai.

"Okay, I'll have to rely on Sister Yao to take care of me when the time comes." Jiang Hanyan smiled sweetly. Guan Yao and Zhou Yi were both future big shots, so she would definitely have to hold on to their thighs and take them to get rich together.

Guan Yao chuckled and said jokingly, "I can still take care of you in the provincial capital, but I'll have to start all over again when I go to Shanghai. Let's take care of each other."

"Sister Yao, you are too modest. Don't forget that I can read faces. You have a face that indicates wealth and prosperity. I am counting on you to introduce more clients to me." Jiang Hanyan flattered her, but not too much.

Guan Yao smiled as brightly as a flower, and the worry between her brows was relieved. Even if Jiang Hanyan didn't say anything, she would not break off the relationship. Business people believe in the mysterious arts the most, and someone who is an expert in the mysterious arts like Jiang Hanyan must be made friends with.

Jiang Hanyan escorted the siblings to the door. Guan Yao shook hands with her again and said with a smile, "See you in Shanghai."

"See you in Shanghai!"

Jiang Hanyan smiled and watched them leave. When she was about to enter the yard, she heard Aunt Xu's sour voice, "You can't finish all the cigarettes and alcohol in your house, right?"

Every day, people come to give gifts to Aunt Xu, and they are all high-end goods. Aunt Xu is more jealous than a person who is soaked in vinegar. Her six chickens are nowhere to be found, and neither the chickens nor the bodies are found. In all likelihood, they were eaten by the thieves next door.

They make so much money every day and receive so many gifts, yet they still eat her chicken. Their consciences have been eaten by dogs. Why doesn't God send thunder to kill these two thieves?

"Aunt Xu, have you found your chicken?" Jiang Hanyan asked with concern. She stabbed the knife wherever it hurt. She was best at this.

As expected, Aunt Xu's face darkened immediately, and she cursed with gnashing teeth: "I don't know which heartless person ate this. I'm afraid I'll give birth to a son who has no sense of shame. He'll get hit by a car when he goes out, choke to death when he drinks water, and be possessed by a ghost when he sleeps."

It was obviously this little bitch who ate it, and you still have the nerve to ask her in person?

How shameless!

Jiang Hanyan remained calm and said with a smile, "Aunt Xu, you are going to buy gifts for the Dragon Boat Festival, right? Oh, things are so expensive nowadays. I went to the market yesterday and bought some things casually, and it cost me one or two hundred yuan. Prices are rising rapidly, and wages are not rising. Life is really hard."

Aunt Xu's face darkened a few shades. The salary issue hurt her more than losing six chickens. Her husband, Mr. Xu, was a lathe operator in a tractor factory. The tractor factory was the largest state-owned factory in Fucheng. The salary and benefits were very good, but there had been no salary increase for several years. Mr. Xu still earned about 1,000 yuan a month. He could do some private work in a small factory on weekends and earn a few hundred yuan more every month.

When there is a lot of work, she can earn around 2,000 yuan, and at least 1,500 or 1,600 yuan, which is a high salary in Fucheng. But she has no job, her youngest son has to go to school, and the eldest and second sons are unemployed. The whole family eats and drinks, and spends money like water. She can't save much money at the end of the year, let alone marry a daughter-in-law.

The sourness in Aunt Xu's heart instantly turned into bitterness. The Dragon Boat Festival was just a few days away, and the Xu family had many relatives, so the festival gifts would cost one or two hundred yuan. Alas!

I really wish that one cent could turn into three cents.

Jiang Hanyan stopped stabbing with the knife when she had stabbed enough. If she continued stabbing, she was afraid that Aunt Xu's heart would not be able to bear it. She smiled and went back to the yard to continue making zongzi.

The bacon was pickled yesterday and it has absorbed all the flavor. She likes to eat bacon dumplings or white dumplings. She doesn't like the ones filled with candied dates and beans.

But children like to eat sweet rice dumplings, so they make a little of each.

Jiang Hanyan started by wrapping the salty pork rice dumplings. She skillfully wrapped the rice dumplings with rice leaves, stuffed them with soaked glutinous rice, and then stuffed a piece of salty pork, a salted egg yolk, and some more glutinous rice into the dumplings before wrapping them up. She was wrapping the square rice dumplings from Jiaxing. She had not lost her skills from her previous life, and she finished wrapping them in no time.

I'm not bragging about her survival skills, they are absolutely first-rate. In her previous life, she went to college and earned her tuition and living expenses by herself. She cut vegetables and washed dishes in a restaurant, worked as an NPC in a haunted house, and worked as a cleaner in a museum. Later, because she was beautiful and spoke standard Mandarin, she was made a tour guide. She learned a lot of historical knowledge, sold alcohol in a bar, distributed flyers, and helped out in a rice dumpling shop...

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

She worked wherever there was work. She tried at least 60 out of 360 trades. Although it was hard work, it also enabled her to develop many skills and become capable of both working in the parlor and in the kitchen.

The rice dumplings were cooked in a big pot for the whole afternoon. All the salty, sweet and white rice dumplings were cooked. The fragrance of rice dumpling leaves wafted through the yard. Doudou had no mood to play. After a while he ran over to see, his mouth watering.

"Give!"

Jiang Hanyan picked out a salty pork rice dumpling, soaked it in cold water for a while, peeled off the rice dumpling leaves, and put it in a bowl for Doudou to eat. The crystal glutinous rice was oily and soaked with oil and soy sauce. The color was particularly tempting. Doudou took a bite and the salted egg yolk came out. He also bit off a piece of meat and pulled out a few strands of meat.

It was a little hot, Doudou hissed, blew hard with his pouty lips, then couldn't wait to take another bite. This time he bit off the entire yolk. The little guy squinted his eyes with joy and ate with relish.

Jiang Hanyan patted him on the head gently and said angrily, "Eat slowly, there's still a lot left."

Doudou nodded, but couldn't stop eating. The rice dumplings made by Aunt Jiang were so delicious.

Jiang Hanyan also peeled a salty pork rice dumpling to eat. She was not bragging, the taste was definitely as good as the one from Wu Mouzhai. Just after she finished eating a rice dumpling, Jiang's mother came to her house with five packets of Chinese medicine. She went to the city to get the medicine and informed her daughter at the same time.

"Hanyan, your father has more than 5,000 yuan in private money." Jiang's mother looked worried. Her daughter said that her husband would change his wife if he had money. Now she only hoped that her husband would be as poor as a clerk.
