"Wow..." Yaya ran back crying, interrupting the conversation between the two sisters.

"What's wrong, Yaya? Why are you crying?" Qiao Zhixia quickly wiped her hands and squatted down to coax her little niece.

Yaya sobbed and spoke incoherently: "...my brother pushed me, and my grandma... scolded me."

When the two sisters were confused, Aunt Gao came over. She happened to witness what Yaya had just experienced.

It turned out that Yaya had just run to the door of Chen Dacui's house behind.

Chen Dacui was having dinner at home, and her five-year-old grandson came out with a bowl of rice to tease Yaya, asking her if she was hungry.

But Yaya shook her head and said that she had eaten the meat and was not greedy at all.

Her attitude annoyed the boy, so he reached out and pushed Yaya down.

When Chen Dacui ran out and saw that it was Yaya, she mocked her in a sarcastic tone and called her the money-loser of the Qiao family.

She also said that her grandparents' family would soon run out of food. She was so young and still bragging and lying. Eating meat? Eating dirt is more like eating dirt.

Although Yaya didn't quite understand what she said, she could sense that her tone was unfriendly.

So I ran back crying.

"Xiao Qiao! The whole village is waiting to see your family make a fool of themselves! Especially Chen Dacui, who keeps getting involved with your third aunt and spreading rumors that even grass can't grow in your fields, let alone vegetables. Even if the vegetables grow, they will rot in the fields. She also told the villagers not to lend you money and let you fend for yourself."

When Aunt Gao said this, her face was already filled with sorrow, and it was obvious that she was really worried about Qiao Zhixia.

Qiao Zhixia was not surprised at all, but she didn't want to explain too much now. After all, the result is the best proof.

These people wanted her family to struggle in the mud, but she insisted on living a more glorious life than anyone else.

At night, the two sisters and Yaya slept in one bed.

Qiao Chudong promised Qiao Zhixia that she would start preparing for the accounting exam when she returned. As a sister, she would do her best to help her as long as she needed help.

What's more, she hoped that she would be able to protect Yaya and prevent her from living under the oppression of her grandparents like she and her sisters had done when they were young.

Qiao Zhixia gave her two hundred yuan and asked her to keep it secretly. In addition to buying books for study, she could also feel at ease with the money in her hands.

Qiao Chudong did not refuse hypocritically, but accepted it with tears in her eyes.

A week later, Qiao Zhixia's first [Jingyang Fruit and Vegetable Store] in the city was completed.

For the decoration style of this store, Qiao Zhixia drew inspiration from the boutique fruit and vegetable stores of 20 years later, and the overall style is high-end and classy.

In fact, no matter what era, there is never a shortage of rich people.

Her dishes are not cheap, but they are not so luxurious that ordinary people cannot afford them.

In addition to the customer base she had accumulated when she was setting up a street stall earlier, several groups of people came in to inquire before the store even opened.

The store is temporarily managed by her personally. When her sister is able to free herself, she will be able to manage it for a while. She herself needs to travel around frequently to do business.

At present, in addition to the people who manage the accounts and the store, she also needs managers to help her arrange shipments.

The people you hire must be trustworthy.

After thinking about it, she thought of her older cousin from her uncle's family.

Not only are her cousins ​​handsome, but they also inherit their uncle's character, which is impeccable.

My cousin is not only handsome, but also a good student.

It's just that his leg was broken by a rock when he was in the army in his early years, and he was discharged from the army, so he now walks with a slight limp.

Because he became lame, the girl in the village who was originally planning to marry him broke off the engagement and married someone else.

My cousin gave up on himself for a long time because of this. Now he can't find a job because of his different legs and feet. He can only stay at home and occasionally earn some money by doing hard labor.

His uncle and aunt's hair turned white because of worrying about his lifelong affairs.

My second cousin and third cousin are in junior high school and high school respectively. The annual tuition, book fees and living expenses add up to a considerable expense.

If Qiao Zhixia can solve her eldest cousin's work problem, it will be a great joy for her uncle's family.

When the simple and thin middle-aged couple heard their niece's words and asked their eldest son to help her, they were a little unresponsive for a while.

"Zhizhi, are you saying that you are running a vegetable business and want our Qianhua to help you with the work?" my aunt asked after trying to understand.

"Yes, I want my cousin to help me coordinate the shipment, and to run business or manage the planting with me in his free time."

The couple looked at each other and then looked at Li Qianhua who was standing silently beside them.

Li Qianhua has been depressed ever since he was injured and discharged from the army and suffered a broken heart. When he has nothing to do, he struggles with self-doubt every day. Now that he has something to do, he naturally wishes for it.

Money doesn't matter anymore. He just wants to be busy to escape the emotions that are tormenting him.

"Okay, I'll do my best."

Qiao Zhixia knew that he would agree, so she took out a labor contract and handed it to him very formally.

Li Qianhua was stunned. Does selling vegetables really need to be so formal? But he still took it. His rigorous personality made him instinctively look at it carefully.

When he saw the monthly salary of 200 yuan, he was stunned, "200 yuan a month? Did you write it wrong?"

"How much?" the couple asked in unison.

"No, it's two hundred. Although the salary is not low, my cousin has to take care of a lot of things for now. He will be able to relax a little after everything is sorted out. This two hundred salary is just a provisional amount, and it will increase appropriately based on the income later."

"Two hundred a month and the price is going to increase?" My uncle suspected that he had heard it wrong.

Is Qiao Zhixia crazy? Or is he stupid?

After a look of disbelief, my aunt's face turned into an expression of 'you still want me?'

Qiao Zhixia understood what her aunt meant at a glance. She smiled and said, "Don't worry, aunt. If there is a good opportunity, I will definitely think of our family first."

"Okay, okay..." My aunt shed tears excitedly. Even if she was dreaming, this dream was so beautiful that she didn't want to wake up.

After Qiao Zhixia and Li Qianhua signed the contract, she told him to start work officially in two days and then left.

On the other side, at the grain station compound, when Qiao Chudong returned, she happened to run into her mother-in-law and He Xuyang inviting Huang Xia to have lunch at home.

Huang Xia's father is a mathematics teacher in the town's primary school. Her family lives in the yard next to the grain station. She and He Xuyang are childhood playmates.

After she got married, her husband committed a crime and went to jail. After divorcing him half a year ago, he returned to her parents' home with his three-year-old son. Mrs. Lin often went to see her, giving her and He Xuyang opportunities to meet.

Huang Xia has short hair that reaches her ears. She wears a fashionable light grey suit and a dark red turtleneck sweater. She has a petite figure but exudes an artistic temperament.

The mother and son sat on either side of her, looking as close as a family of three.

When Qiao Chudong came in, He Xuyang was picking fish bones for Huang Xia.

"Did I come back at the wrong time?"

She wanted to be more generous and there was no need to be so picky.

But she and this man were in a free love relationship! They really had feelings for each other.

If you truly love someone, you cannot turn a blind eye to his or her betrayal and infidelity.

"You're back?" A hint of guilt flashed across He Xuyang's face, but he quickly regained his composure.

However, when Mrs. Lin, who was standing by, saw the mother and daughter, she started to feel confused.

"You still remembered to come back? You've been away for two days. We thought you found a good man to marry again."
