Chapter 34: You’re Not Afraid of Being Poisoned?

Suddenly, Xu Jiaojiao’s voice came from the car.

Hearing her words, Li Wenxiu’s expression almost couldn’t hold.

“I have other money.”

In fact, Li Wenxiu found the money from the seam of her pants.

To prevent being robbed, she had sewn a small bag a few days ago.

Who knew she dug into another layer when taking out the money, and thought the money was lost.

“Oh, so you’re actually that rich.” Xu Jiaojiao said, her eyes filled with a strange meaning.

Li Wenxiu felt a pang in her heart when she saw her look.

She remembered the time she asked for five yuan back.

“Since you’re so rich, you should pay me back what you owe me, right?”

Hearing this, the others also remembered that she owed Xu Jiaojiao ten yuan, and they all looked at her with strange eyes.

Li Wenxiu’s face turned pale.

Looking at the questioning gazes, she gritted her teeth and pulled out ten yuan from her pocket.

“Here you go.”

Xu Jiaojiao didn’t feel embarrassed, she took the money and said,

“You borrow and you repay, it’s not hard to borrow again. You only borrow and don’t repay, I won’t dare to lend you money again.”

As soon as she said this, Li Wenxiu’s face turned black.

The others’ gazes became even more strange.

Xu Jiaojiao didn’t care, she had ten yuan in hand and had also angered the white lotus, she was in a good mood.

Everyone was present, the car started immediately.

With the experience from the first time, Xu Jiaojiao used both hands to secure herself firmly in the seat.

She didn’t know if it was because of the position, but sitting in the front, she didn’t feel the vibration as much.

It was just that the position was a little awkward.

Across from her was Gu Qingbai, and behind her was Qin Shuo.

Xu Jiaojiao didn’t want to look at either of them, she ended up twisting her neck almost to the point of breaking, and kept looking at the front of the car.

The front seat was stable, but the view was also nerve-wracking.

It turned out that the road from the county to the Red Flag Brigade was all mountain roads.

She didn’t feel anything sitting in the back when she came.

But on the way back, looking at the high steep slopes on both sides, she felt her legs tremble.

Especially when turning, Xu Jiaojiao even doubted if the car would fall off the slope.

Liu Dawu was also driving a bit wildly.

For the first time, Xu Jiaojiao realized that she was a little afraid of heights.

Another sharp turn, the car turned, and the rear of the car swung with it.

Xu Jiaojiao’s face turned white, her hand gripping the railing was bloodless.

“Comrade Liu, slow down.” Someone said, still shaken.

“Yeah, we’re not in a hurry, don’t go so fast.”

Another person’s voice was still trembling.

Xu Jiaojiao was shaking even more than her! She had just seen the front of the car go out halfway.

They almost fell!

Probably realizing that they had almost had an accident, Liu Dawu slowed down for the rest of the journey.

The car finally stopped drifting.

Xu Jiaojiao breathed a sigh of relief and stretched out a hand to wipe away her sweat.

In the end, she simply stopped looking ahead, to avoid scaring herself.

Her gaze finally landed on the front of her.

Gu Qingbai’s brows furrowed habitually.

But he found that she wasn’t looking at him, she was just looking in his direction.

However, being face to face like this made Gu Qingbai unhappy.

Not only was he unhappy, but Qin Shuo next to Xu Jiaojiao had an even worse expression.

Even with some distance, it still felt cold.

Xu Jiaojiao couldn’t help but move closer to the side.

But as soon as she moved, she felt even colder!

They returned to the Red Flag Brigade in this awkward way, as soon as the car stopped, Xu Jiaojiao couldn’t wait to jump out.

However, there were too many people in the car, she could only slowly get off behind them.

On the way back, they were still one behind the other.

They returned to the Qin family in silence.

Before they even reached the door, they heard Erhu roar from afar.

“Third Aunt is back!”

This roar was like a bugle call, and soon, a bunch of children came running from all directions.

“Third Aunt, you’re back!”

“Third Aunt is finally back!”

“Third Aunt, where are the candies?”

…

In the blink of an eye, Xu Jiaojiao was surrounded.

The children were chattering, it was lively.

“I bought them, I bought them, I’ll give them to you when we get home.”

Hearing this, the children all cheered, they were obviously overjoyed.

They crowded around Xu Jiaojiao and walked towards the house.

And Xu Jiaojiao didn’t disappoint them, as soon as she got back to the house and put down her things, she started handing out candy.

“Here’s your candy, come, take it.”

She gave each child three candies and a small piece of sponge cake.

It wasn’t that Xu Jiaojiao was stingy, but she simply didn’t have that many tickets, she couldn’t buy more even if she wanted to.

But even so, the children were already happy as if it were the New Year.

After receiving their treats, they excitedly rushed out.

Needless to say, they probably went to show off to their friends.

“Why give them so much? One each is enough!”

Wang Fengmei had just come back from outside, seeing Xu Jiaojiao being so wasteful, she couldn’t help but glare at her.

“Mom, I’m happy today, I made money!”

Xu Jiaojiao smiled and pulled out a five-yuan bill from her pocket and handed it to her.

“Keep this.”

Xu Jiaojiao concealed the fact that she had earned eighteen yuan.

She didn’t plan to hand over all the money.

They hadn’t split the family, so in theory, all the money earned should be turned in.

But according to Wang Fengmei’s stingy personality, if she handed over the money, it would be hard to get it back.

Even if she was called selfish, she didn’t care, she had to prioritize her own life.

Xu Jiaojiao wasn’t worried that Qin Shuo would expose her.

He was the kind of person who wouldn’t tattle.

Sure enough, he just glanced at her and then looked away.

Wang Fengmei was even happier when she got the five yuan!

“Good, good, good! Jiaojiao is successful!”

It was a simple compliment, but it made Xu Jiaojiao feel a surge of pride.

The corners of her lips couldn’t help but curl up.

Ding Xiujing saw this and couldn’t help but say sourly.

“Xu Jiaojiao, I didn’t expect you to actually be able to make money.”

“I just happened to find the medicine that the pharmacy needed, I might not be so lucky next time.”

Xu Jiaojiao didn’t want to say too much.

The more you say, the more mistakes you make.

If she accidentally revealed a clue, who knows if she would be turned against later.

The relationship between sisters-in-law is so delicate.

Sure enough, hearing that it was just a coincidence, Ding Xiujing didn’t say anything more.

Instead, she became curious about the things Xu Jiaojiao bought back.

“What did you buy?”

“I bought some needles and thread for you.” Xu Jiaojiao said, handing her a bag.

Hearing that it was for her, Ding Xiujing’s eyes lit up.

She quickly took the bag and opened it, and was instantly excited.

“Xu Jiaojiao, how kind of you!”

It turned out that Xu Jiaojiao bought her colorful needles and thread, perfect for embroidery.

Most importantly, there were several handkerchiefs inside.

“I saw someone embroidering flowers on handkerchiefs and selling them at the supply and marketing cooperative, one can earn a dime.”

Hearing that one could earn a dime, Ding Xiujing couldn’t stay still.

Xu Jiaojiao went to the county and found out that the supply and marketing cooperative also bought things.

Eggs were the most common thing they bought.

However, the price was much lower than the black market.

Xu Jiaojiao happened to see a young woman sell a stack of embroidered handkerchiefs to the supply and marketing cooperative.

“You embroider a few first, and then we’ll go together to the county to ask.”

Xu Jiaojiao wasn’t sure if they would still want them, if they didn’t, she would keep them for herself.

“Okay, okay.”

Ding Xiujing was overjoyed, the sourness she had just felt disappeared.

Now she genuinely liked her sister-in-law.

The two of them hadn’t quarreled for a long time, and now they were getting along very well.

Wang Fengmei nodded in satisfaction.

But this smile didn’t last long, she heard a burst of angry scolding coming from the eldest son’s room.

“What are you eating? You’re not afraid of being poisoned?”
