Chapter 70: Jiaojiao is spoiled by the rough man

Yan Wenming arched his nose and said, "I think this is also a consideration."

"So now your lifeline is in my hands. What right do you have to be so arrogant?" Su Wanwan continued.

Yan Wenming's face froze immediately.

"If I don't let you continue working in the factory and the production team is not open now, you will have to borrow money to survive. But with your current popularity in the village, I'm afraid no one is willing to lend you money." Su Wanwan continued calmly.

"Taking out the trash is actually a technical job. Although everyone can do it, only I can do it quickly and well." Yan Wenming said gritting his teeth.

"In that case, why are you complaining so much? I just assigned the right people to the right positions. I didn't mistreat anyone, did I?"

Su Wanwan didn't want to speak to Yan Wenming in this tone, but he was really going too far.

"My ideological awareness is not enough. I will reflect deeply on this when I go back!" Yan Wenming gritted his teeth even harder.

Su Wanwan nodded lightly and returned to the office with the meal.

"Aunt, you were so awesome just now. I felt so majestic when you said those words!" As soon as Su Wanwan opened the office door, Xiao Qinggui came up to her and said loudly.

"Keep your voice down. Don't let people outside hear you." Jiang Shuzhen reminded Qinggui in a low voice.

"It's not about being impressive or not. We are forced to do it." Su Wanwan touched Xiao Qinggui's hair, put the food on the table, and pulled a chair over to sit down.

"That Yan Wenming is so annoying! But I remember that my aunt seemed to like him very much before!" Qinggui came forward.

Su Wanwan felt awkward when she was about to pick up her chopsticks.

Fortunately, Jiang Shuzhen deliberately changed the subject——

"What did Panhua say just now?"

Su Wanwan took a bite of cold rice and poured herself a cup of hot water from the thermos on the table. "What else can I say? Do you expect someone like her to admit her mistakes? She just wants to flatter and please, but she doesn't really want to please. She ruined the food like that. I told her that no matter what, her parents would never keep a thief by their side."

Jiang Shuzhen nodded slightly after hearing this, and her mother Zhao Ying placed two fingers on her temples.

"Mom, are you feeling unwell?" Su Wanwan asked with concern.

"Don't tell your father about what happened at noon. Your father has such a bad temper. If he hears about this, he might force them to move out before the New Year." Zhao Ying said tiredly.

Su Wanwan nodded.

"Oh, you're finally back. If you hadn't come back, I would have had to ask someone to help me find you!"

At the office door, the installation worker who had just finished his meal sat on a chair at the door, eagerly waiting for Xu Yan, who finally showed up.

"Where did you go? Why weren't you at the factory at noon?" Su Wanwan left a chair next to her empty for Xu Yan to sit on.

"I have some work to do at home, and I came here after I finished it."

"Eldest sister, how is the second sister?" Although Xu Yan's two sisters also lived in Shuitian Village, they were the rare young people who did not come to work in the factory.

"Very well, my elder sister knitted the gloves this morning and asked me to come and bring them to you."

Su Wanwan exclaimed in surprise and saw Xu Yan take out a pair of tender pink gloves from his pocket.

There are several braided pink threads between the two gloves, which can be hung around the neck.

"No wonder your pockets were bulging when you came in just now." Su Wanwan said softly, took the gloves and carefully tried them on her hands.

It's surprisingly suitable.

"I didn't tell my sister the size of my hands." Su Wanwan said in a low voice.

"Sister is very good at sewing. You can tell the size just by looking at it. There is no need to measure it with a ruler." Xu Yan carefully watched Su Wanwan put on the gloves.

"But... it must take a lot of time to knit a pair of gloves like this, right? And the quality of the thread is also very good... Big sister has worked so hard. Tell big sister not to give me any more gifts. I don't need them. Please thank big sister on my behalf."

Xu Yan saw all of Su Wanwan's flattered look.

"Your craftsmanship is really good, much better than mine." Jiang Shuzhen said sincerely.

"It's because my sister has such great skills that it would be even more difficult to knit a pair of gloves like this, so I can't trouble you." Su Wanwan replied to Jiang Shuzhen.

"If you don't accept it, she will be unhappy."

As soon as Xu Yan said this, Su Wanwan stopped picking half of the flowers. After hesitating for a moment, she spoke softly: "Well, I don't have anything to give back to you, big sister... Is there anything you like?"

Su Wanwan always felt hot on her face. She didn't have many interactions with the Xu family, especially the always taciturn eldest sister Xu Mei. From the time she met Xu Yan until now, she hadn't spoken a few words to Xu Mei. She always felt a little guilty about taking several small things from Xu Mei for no reason.

The scarf I wore last time was very nice, and the gloves I wore this time are even nicer.

"From childhood to adulthood, I have rarely expressed myself. Your question really stumped me." Xu Yan paused before answering Su Wanwan.

Su Wanwan followed up by saying, "Then ask when you get home, and tell me as soon as you're done. The Little New Year is coming soon. If you tell me too late, I probably won't be able to prepare gifts for our eldest and second sisters in advance."

After Su Wanwan said this, Jiang Shuzhen and her mother Zhao Yingcai next to her realized what was going on.

Although as the girl's family, they don't have to prepare gifts for the boy's family on holidays, but they have received a lot of favors from Xu Yan during this period. When they got engaged in the county, they didn't get close to the Xu family and didn't even go to see Xu Yan's father and brother.

As the year draws to a close, I don’t know whether Mr. Xu can return home from the hospital to celebrate the New Year.

If Old Man Xu comes back from the hospital temporarily to celebrate the New Year, they should prepare some gifts in advance and visit him. If Old Man Xu does not come back to celebrate the New Year, then as an elder, Zhao Ying naturally cannot visit the Xu family. However, Su Wanwan's eldest brother and third brother should visit the Xu family with gifts.

What gift should I prepare?

"My elder sister has been going out frequently recently and is sometimes not at home during the day." Xu Yan suddenly said.

Su Wanwan was a little surprised and stared at Xu Yan blankly, "Aren't the eldest and second sisters usually busy with some household affairs?"

Even if they went out, they were just visiting friends or washing clothes by the river. But now that the weather is cold, not many women in the village go to the river to wash clothes. They all draw well water, heat it up at home, and wash in large basins.

"I haven't been paying attention to it yet. My second sister told me something. It seems that my eldest sister recently met a young man." After Xu Yan finished speaking, he picked up the dishes that Zhao Ying and others had left after they had finished eating and prepared to go out.
