Chapter 26 A feisty daughter-in-law dares to hit her mother-in-law
With red eyes, Xu Hui said, "He Qiaoyun, you lied to me. I want to switch with you. I don't want those two factories anymore. I want the orchard and the supermarket!"
He had heard a lot about Hejia Village these past few days, all praising He Qiaoyun. They said she was capable of securing a partnership with the Feng Group, and that she had even started a new business, producing Dragon Boat Festival gift boxes for companies large and small. She couldn't handle all the orders herself, so she encouraged other villagers to join in...
Xu Hui was green with envy. When they divorced, He Qiaoyun clearly said that the orchard wasn't profitable, but he actually believed her lies and took over two messy factories.
Since the divorce, the factory's business has been getting worse and worse. Even selling the house didn't help. The money in my hands is flowing away like water and is almost gone.
He's now stuck with these two factories; he can't bear to sell them, but he can't afford to supply them anymore. It's a dilemma – he can't keep them, but he can't throw them away either.
What angered him even more was that Wang Jinghuai acted as if she couldn't see anything and kept buying express deliveries every day. When he got angry, she would cry and say that they were just daily necessities like tissues and laundry detergent.
He had never seen such a wasteful and unreasonable woman. Not only was she useless, she only caused him trouble...
He Qiaoyun chuckled lightly, "Xu Hui, you don't know, do you? Actually, I negotiated all those orders for you secretly, but you're useless. You cling to your shameless face and don't know how to expand your network."
She knew that Xu Hui's factory was about to go under.
This is exactly the scene she wanted to see; he deserved it.
As the saying goes, "A man who mistreats his wife will never have any wealth." This has certainly been proven true in his case.
Xu Hui was stunned. "Why have you never told me this before... You lied to me! You lied to me! You've been lying to me all these years!"
He Qiaoyun's expression was cold, her thumb and forefinger pinched together. "Lie to you? With your pitifully small self-esteem, if I didn't lie to you, could you stand it? Hmm?"
She still can't forget that a business partner once told Xu Hui that he had married a good wife who secretly helped him secure orders. With such a virtuous wife, what more could a husband ask for?
When Xu Hui found out, he was embarrassed. After signing the order, he went home and sulked for several days. Finally, He Qiaoyun found out, and he pointed at He Qiaoyun's head and scolded her, saying that she shouldn't show her face in public and should mind her own business.
When her mother-in-law, Gao Hui, found out, she openly and secretly criticized He Qiaoyun, saying that a woman who could close a business deal must have been taken advantage of by a man behind her back, and that she was not clean.
She was so angry that she slapped each of them. They were stunned by the slaps, and after another argument, they finally calmed down. The matter was considered over, and no one brought it up again.
Later, she stopped managing Xu Hui's business.
However, her mother-in-law always told outsiders that she was a shrewish daughter-in-law who dared to hit her mother-in-law, which led to her not having a good reputation among the elders. But it also saved her a lot of trouble, as no one dared to mess with her and they all treated her politely when they met.
It wasn't until recent years, when Xu Hui was truly on the verge of collapse, that she had no choice but to negotiate orders for him, repeatedly instructing him not to let him know.
Looking back now, I realize I was just too kind.
Xu Hui, drunk and enraged, rushed at her to hit her, shouting, "He Qiaoyun, don't think I won't hit you!"
He Qiaoyun picked up her bag and threw it straight at his face, somewhat angry, "Xu Hui, wake up!"
Xu Hui was stunned for two seconds after being hit by the bag, then became even angrier and tried to rush at her, but she slapped him across the face with a crisp "smack."
"Xu Hui, have you gone mad from drinking? Look carefully at who I am."
Honestly, it's impossible for two people to never fight after being married for decades.
She remembered the worst time was when the two of them were arguing for some reason, and the argument escalated into a fight. She hit Xu Hui so hard that he suffered a concussion and had to stay in the hospital for two days before he recovered.
Back then, I was young and impulsive, and I was really angry, so I hit her hard. Actually, I'm scared now.
Unexpectedly, after Xu Hui was discharged from the hospital, it seemed like she had hit him in the head and he knelt down and begged her not to divorce him, saying that the child was still young and they couldn't be without a home.
I was young then and easily swayed. Everyone around me advised me against it, and I had also hit him rather hard, so I reluctantly forgave him.
But after that incident, Xu Hui truly behaved himself and never dared to lay a hand on her again...
Xu Hui covered his face and roared angrily at her, "He Qiaoyun!"
He Qiaoyun's ears hurt from being yelled at. "Xu Hui, it's very late now. Don't you want to rest or don't others? Go home after you've made enough of a scene. Also, stop looking for me all the time. It's annoying."
At that moment, she stood high above like a queen.
Xu Hui pointed at her, "I'm going to sue! The division of marital property is unfair. I want the supermarket and the orchard!"
He Qiaoyun chuckled lightly: "Go ahead and sue me. Don't end up paying me money later."
After saying that, she ignored him and turned to go into the building.
When she got home, she fell asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow.
At five o'clock the next morning, just as dawn was breaking, she was woken up by her alarm clock.
I woke up, quickly ate breakfast, and then drove back to the orchard.
As the weather got warmer in June, the villagers got up early to work in the fields. As soon as they returned to the orchard, the helpers had already cut a lot of fruit.
She shared the breakfast buns she had bought from the city with them, saying, "You've all worked hard. Have you all had breakfast yet? If you have, have a couple more bites to tide you over, and take a rest."
The helpers stopped what they were doing and came over to distribute the steamed buns.
"By the way, today is the college entrance exam. Sister, aren't you going to take your child to the exam?" she asked one of the people who had children.
The man waved his hand and said, "It's just an exam. He's eighteen years old, he has hands and feet, why should I take him? I was only sixteen years old back then, and I was already able to work outside on my own."
He Qiaoyun smiled and nodded, "That's true."
She loaded the fruit onto the car and drove back to the city.
When we arrived at the small supermarket, the test takers had already entered the examination hall, and a group of parents were waiting outside.
He Qiaoyun parked her car at the back door of the supermarket and, together with Xiao Ye, carried a large basket of fruit into the small warehouse.
"Sister, so you were nowhere to be seen this morning because you went back to get fruit," Xiao Ye said.
He Qiaoyun nodded. "With so many parents, I was afraid it wouldn't be enough, so I went back to get some. How was business just now?"
"Not a single person came to buy flowers." Xiao Ye was a little dejected.
He Qiaoyun smiled and said, "It's normal. When it's such an important time to enter the venue, who cares about these things? There are only a few minutes left before the exam starts at nine o'clock, so parents can relax and will naturally come to buy tickets."
After moving the fruit, the two sat down to rest in the shop.
To avoid affecting the exam, the surroundings were kept quiet.
A short while later, they heard a school bell ring.
The exam begins.
The group of parents waiting at the school gate breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that nothing had happened, and each found a place to sit and rest.
He Qiaoyun's small supermarket has become a refueling station for parents.
The bouquet of lychees displayed in front of the door attracted a lot of attention.
They sold out very quickly.
Many parents, however, dislike these fancy decorations and instead buy loose lychees, saying they'll wait for their children to eat them, but actually they want to eat them themselves.
He Qiaoyun was minding the shop, while Xiao Ye went to the warehouse to pack flowers.
Soon, fruit bouquets became popular throughout the city during the two days of the college entrance examination, all in an effort to bring good luck.
