Seeing Xiao Qinyun kept looking at Qiao Qinglu, Qiao's mother pushed them into the small room and said, "We're cleaning the table here. You two, don't stand here. Go back to the house."
Qiao Qinglu closed the door and sat down on the head of the bed, while Xiao Qinyun sat on a small stool, staring at her intently.
Seeing that he was silent, Qiao Qinglu spoke first: "What do you want to ask?"
Xiao Qinyun said with certainty: "You are not her."
Qiao Qinglu replied: "Yes, I am not her."
Xiao Qinyun asked again: "Can you tell me what's going on?"
Looking at Xiao Qinyun, Qiao Qinglu thought for a moment and decided to tell the truth: "You may find it hard to believe what I'm going to say next. This world is a book. I wasn't originally from this world. Due to an accident, I entered her body after waking up. She shared her memories with me, and I told her that the world is a book. She couldn't accept her fate, so she entrusted everything to me and went to reincarnate."
Xiao Qinyun stared at Qiao Qinglu in disbelief. He wanted to say something but in the end said nothing. He just asked her to take a rest and he would come to see her tomorrow night. Then he said goodbye to Qiao's father and mother and left.
Qiao Qinglu breathed a sigh of relief. She felt much more relaxed after telling the secret. After all, she was not from this generation, and there would always be mistakes when she spoke or did things. Otherwise, Xiao Qinyun would not have discovered the loophole.
Well, let’s talk about the future later. Even if Xiao Qinyun wants to divorce her, it doesn’t matter. But if he tells this secret to others, she will never admit it.
After all, she is a transmigrated soul, and this body is indeed a ghost body. No one can prove that she is not a ghost body.
However, Xiao Qinyun should not be such a person. The description in the book is that he is as beautiful as a jade tree and his smile is as bright as the moon in one's arms. He is the "flower on the top of the mountain" in the compound. His character should not be so bad.
Suddenly there was a knock on the door. Qiao Qinglu thought it was Xiao Qinyun coming back, but she heard the voices of a group of familiar people coming from the living room. It was Deputy Director Qin from the supply and marketing cooperative who came to apologize with those colleagues who spread the rumors.
Qiao Qinglu was originally sitting on the bed, but now she simply lay down, closed her eyes, and took a nap with a blanket.
After a while, Qiao's mother came in with Deputy Director Qin, followed by the colleagues who spread the rumors.
Qiao's mother said, "This child was frightened yesterday. The doctor said she needed to rest, but now she's tired just after eating." She patted Qiao Qinglu's arm and said, "Xiaolu, your boss is here to see you. Wake up."
Qiao Qinglu pretended to have just woken up, rubbed her eyes, and then sat down at the head of the bed. "I'm sorry, Vice President Qin, I'm so sleepy. Why are you here? Mom, quickly invite Vice President Qin and the others to the living room and have a bowl of sugar water. I'll get out of bed right away."
Deputy Chief Qin repeatedly stopped Qiao Ma from getting some water. "Don't be so polite. What happened yesterday was a mistake on our part. Chief Wang specifically asked me to come visit you on behalf of the company. These are a small token of our appreciation. Please accept them. Also, don't worry about work. We've arranged for a temporary worker to look after the counter. You can return to work after you've recovered."
After that, she handed the milk powder, egg cakes, and other items she had brought to Qiao's mother, then pulled the people behind her and said, "Xiaolu, Xiaohong, Xiaohua, and the others, I've already criticized them. They've recognized their mistakes and promised not to make them again. Come on, apologize to Xiaolu."
Xiaohong, Liu Xiaohua, and Zhang Mu came up reluctantly and apologized to Qiao Qinglu.
Deputy Director Qin added, "They're just gossipy, they don't mean any harm. Wait for Tu Lili to come out of the police station, then have her apologize to you. The commune has already decided to demote her to a temporary worker and deduct three months' salary."
Taking Deputy Director Qin's words as an example, Qiao Qinglu thanked the supply and marketing cooperative for their concern, and said that she would recover her health as soon as possible, return to her post as soon as possible, and not drag the cooperative down. She also accepted the apology from Xiaohong and others. Since they recognized their mistakes and promised not to make them again, the matter was over.
Qiao Qinglu knew that this incident was an unprovoked disaster for the supply and marketing cooperative, and that Xiaohong and the others were being used as pawns by Tu Lili. She just didn't know why Tu Lili hated her so much. She would have to wait and see what the police station concluded.
Deputy Director Qin and Xiaohong didn't expect the Qiao family and Qiao Qinglu to speak in this way. Qiao Qinglu's reputation in their hearts was rising.
Although they didn't interact much in normal times, everyone knew that Qiao Qinglu was not good at speaking and loved to offend people. But today she handled things appropriately and magnanimously.
Afterwards, Deputy Commander Qin told them to let Qiao Qinglu take a rest and then left.
Then, Deputy Director Chen of the Textile Factory and Director Tang Yuren of the Machinery Factory came to the Qiao family with gifts and the workers who spread the rumors to apologize.
Qiao Qinglu also thanked the leaders of the textile factory and machinery factory for their concern and accepted the apologies from the workers.
After they left, some neighbors of the elderly couple in the tube-shaped building also came to visit Qiao Qinglu with gifts. Qiao's father, mother and Qiao Qinglu declined the gifts at first, but then accepted them. After chatting for a while, it was getting late, so everyone left.
They had to go to work early tomorrow morning, so Qiao's father, Qiao's mother, and Qiao Qinglu quickly washed up and went back to their rooms to rest.
After locking the door, Qiao Qinglu entered the space. After drinking a cup of milk powder for pregnant women, she checked the conditions of the animals and plants, dealt with what needed to be dealt with, harvested some eggs, and then left the space to sleep.
