After returning to the city, the moment he walked out of the station, Cheng Song knew that he might never see her again.

"In the future, if you encounter anything unhappy, you can write to me!"

Cheng Songlin said before leaving.

Jiang Lian smiled and nodded:

"Well, I'll write to you anytime!"

"That's good. I'm leaving now. Please take care of yourself!"

Cheng Song said no more, took his things and left without even turning his head, his back was free and easy.

Qin Man breathed a sigh of relief after learning that Jiang Lian was safe. Jiang Cong said that she would rest in the city for two days and then return to her hometown.

It would be better to go back to my hometown and leave this sad place. After all, being deceived so badly in the first love is hard for anyone to accept.

To be honest, she couldn't feel any sympathy for Qin Man because of her temper. It was her own fault, so who could she blame?

She has said all the good things she can, and this matter cannot be blamed on her, but she will not say anything to her either, because everyone makes mistakes.

She will also take good care of her, including food, drink and shelter.

Let her sleep in the room prepared for Jiang's mother for the time being.

After Jiang Lian came back, she felt quite guilty towards Qin Man. She had disobeyed Qin Man at first and now she was slapped in the face. She felt even more ashamed.

So Jiang Lian only stayed for two days before packing up her things and hurried back to her hometown.

"You really don't plan to stay two more days?" Qin Man asked.

"I can't stay here anymore, sister-in-law. I miss my parents. I want to go back and see them!"

She didn't want to trouble Qin Man either. She had to take care of her own business and herself, which was too hard.

"Mom will be here soon!"

"Then it's just right for me to stay with her longer!" Jiang Lian didn't want to stay any longer. She couldn't bear the pain on her face and every minute was precious.

"Okay then, I'll take you to the train station. Don't think about the past anymore and live a good life from now on!"

Qin Man still comforted her.

Because of this incident, it seems that the relationship between the brother and sister has become much weaker and they are not as close as before.

Maybe it's just Jiang Lian's one-sided awkwardness!

Finally, Jiang Lian embarked on the journey home. When she got home, she was still as lively and cheerful as ever, but with a bit of forced smile.

The parents at home didn't know about this yet and thought their daughter had figured it out and was just tired from being outside.

A few days after Jiang Lian returned, the matchmaker in the village began to arrange a blind date for her.

This time she didn't refuse and went to see him obediently, but he liked her, but she didn't like him.

Even if she listened to her parents and got married, she hoped to marry someone she liked, and forget about those ugly ones.

She went to the town's elementary school and successfully became a preschool teacher with her high school diploma. From then on, she was also a teacher in the town.

Although, compared with her second brother, she was not good enough to be considered a serious teacher, the salary of 30 yuan a month was enough in this small town. She had also saved some money, so it was not a problem for her to support herself.

In early July, Jiang Cong came back to pick up Jiang's mother and Niuniu to go to the city together.

Hearing that Jiang Lian had become an elementary school teacher and had returned to normal life, Jiang Cong finally felt relieved.

Niu Niu's school transfer procedures have been prepared. She just needs to go to the city and report directly to the school she has contacted when the school starts.

After Jiang Cong went back to pick someone up, Qin Man cleaned up the room and bought the necessary daily necessities for Jiang's mother and Niuniu.

Before Jiang Cong returned, he received a sum of 2,000 yuan in royalties, which was the first amount of royalties he received from the sale of his second book.

The Malatang business is stable, and the clothing store business is also particularly good. Qin Man and Wan Qian hired two shop assistants over, so they can relax a little.

Both shop assistants are lively and pretty young girls who are good at speaking and can complete basic work with a little training.

Qin Man is now free and not as busy as before. She just needs to purchase goods occasionally and calculate the sales of the Malatang shop.

Next year, it shouldn’t be a problem to open a branch. I’ll talk to my eldest brother about it and let him buy in some shares so that I can have extra income. We can make money together!

As for Jiang Lian, she is now pure and simple, staying at home obediently. She doesn't want to disturb her. When she gets married in the future, her two brothers will prepare a substantial dowry for her.

"Qianqian, I'm going home first. My mother-in-law is coming tonight, so I have to buy some delicious food and make a welcome dinner for them!"

Qin Man helped her put the newly arrived stock into the warehouse and replenished the goods outside, then prepared to leave.

"Okay, go ahead and do whatever you want, don't worry about the store!"

Wan Qian has her own business, doing a job she loves and never gets tired of it. She feels a great sense of accomplishment when she sees others wearing the dresses she designed!

The total turnover for the whole month of June, excluding the purchase cost, was a profit of 1,800 yuan. All this money was kept in a fixed account opened by them. There was a passbook in the account holder's name, and the dividends would be distributed at the end of the year. Income and expenditure were recorded in a book, and all transactions came from this public passbook. The balance in the passbook at the end of the year was the money earned this year, and the two of them would split it 50-50.

Wan Qian is not short of money, her husband has plenty, so there is no need to worry about any accidents when using her account.

Besides, when two people are doing business together, there should be basic trust.

Summer is here, and the malatang business is a little slower, but it's normal. When the weather is hot, these maocai are not popular. There are only a few months of off-season in a year, so people in the store are more relaxed than before.

"Thank you for your hard work!" Qin Man put on her bag and went home.

The children are on vacation now and play at Xiaopang's house during the day.

Qin Man bought some food before going to pick them up.

Xiaoyu and Xiaopang had a quarrel today and didn't speak to each other for the whole day. Xiaoli was caught in the middle and was in a dilemma.

What should I do? On one side is my good brother, and on the other side is my biological sister.

"Brother, you are not allowed to talk to Gu Shiyun. If you talk to him, I will ignore you!"

The little girl was hugging her hands, looking angry and puffing her lips, looking so cute.

Gu Shiyun is Xiaopang’s full name.

"Xiao Yu, I was wrong. Can't I just stop playing with Tao Zi from now on?"

Xiaopang just accepted the gift from his neighbor Xiaotaozi, so she got angry and ignored him.

"Little Taozi cries all the time. I don't like her!"

She doesn't like playing with cute little girls.

"Xiao Li, are you ignoring me too?" Xiaopang looked at Jiang Li disappointedly.

Jiang Li sat in the middle of the sofa, his short legs swaying, his brows furrowed, and he began to think.

What to do? He didn't like Xiao Taozi either. She complained to Teacher Zhou, saying that her younger sister bullied her, but her younger sister didn't bully her at all!
