At fifty, she remarried into a wealthy family; her ex-husband knelt down and begged for reconciliati

The helpers immediately perked up and started talking all at once.

"I was spreading fertilizer inside when I suddenly heard a bang, and a stone the size of a goose egg flew in. Oh my, it scared me to death."

"Yes, several bunches of grapes fell off the ground after being hit."

"It's a pity about the grapes. They've damaged the roof and need to be repaired. I heard it's going to rain in the next couple of days, and the whole place will be flooded."

He Qiaoyun frowned and asked, "Did you see who smashed it?"

These people looked away and stammered, "We were all focused on our work, how could we have seen who smashed it? Maybe it was someone's kid."

"Yes, the children are young and don't understand, don't take it to heart."

He Qiaoyun obviously didn't believe it was done by a child. These days, who would run around playing in the fields? Besides, on such a hot day, anyone with a brain would be staying home with the air conditioning on and playing on their phone.

But she wouldn't give up until she got to the bottom of it, "Whose child is this?"

Upon hearing this, they all laughed. "Qiaoyun, why are you so petty? Don't dwell on this. Go find someone to repair the greenhouse."

Everyone knows who did it, but no one says anything, afraid of offending someone and getting into trouble. It's better to avoid trouble, after all, there's the example of He Qiaoyun offending He Ping right in front of them.

He Qiaoyun was in a bad mood, so she hastily paid them their wages and went home.

Even if she had the suspect's name in her mind, she couldn't prove it without evidence, so she could only swallow this bitter pill.

To talk about the grudges with He Gui, we have to go back to our parents' generation.

The biggest disputes in rural areas are always over land.

Back then, when the country was building a high-speed railway, the viaduct reached their village. Among the land requisitioned from the village were two or three mu of land belonging to He Qiaoyun's family.

He Qiaoyun's parents moved to the city early in their lives. After they made a business, they settled down in the city. After her grandparents who lived in the village passed away, the land was left to lie fallow.

He Guizu's ancestors had farmed in the village for three generations. Their land was right next to He Qiaoyun's. Seeing that He Qiaoyun's land was abandoned, they secretly planted rice on the abandoned fields.

When He Qiaoyun's parents found out, they turned a blind eye and simply didn't care. Anyway, the land was far away, so they could plant it if they wanted.

But fate is fair; the compensation for the expropriated land fell right onto He Qiaoyun's house.

When He Gui's family found out, they were dissatisfied. They insisted that the land they were being compensated for belonged to their family, saying that three generations of their ancestors had worked on it diligently. They even turned around and accused He Qiaoyun's family of being greedy and greedy, saying that they had made a lot of money in the city and were now trying to come back to take their land compensation. They called them skinning people and heartless!

The incident caused quite a stir in the village. Some people stood up for He Qiaoyun's family out of righteous indignation, while others were envious of their ability to make money and settle down in the city, and like He Gui, they turned around and accused them. Most people just wanted to watch the drama unfold and spread the gossip everywhere.

He Qiaoyun's parents were not afraid of trouble. They believed that what was rightfully theirs would be theirs and they would not give in at all. They would fight He Gui to the end and would not waver no matter what he said.

In the end, the village committee ruled that the land expropriation compensation should belong to He Qiaoyun's family.

It was after this incident that He Gui came to hate them.

Meanwhile, the snobbish villagers, without any sense of embarrassment, said that since they were all so rich, how could they have the nerve to take the land expropriation compensation? Some even went so far as to tell He Qiaoyun's father in front of him to spit out the compensation and distribute it to each of them, saying that this was the only fair way.

It's quite ridiculous, really. The compensation was a perfectly legitimate and reasonable demand, yet it was treated that way.

The grudges of his parents' generation have been passed down to He Gui, and perhaps in the future, these grudges will be passed down to his children, generation after generation, without end...

He Qiaoyun felt a headache just thinking about it.

She pulled out her phone book and called the manufacturer who had ordered the greenhouse film, offering to pay for the repairs herself.

I was in a bad mood, so I ate a simple dinner, just stir-fried two dishes: a meat dish and a leafy green vegetable.

After eating her fill, she felt a little better and became lazy. She sat in her chair looking at her phone when suddenly a WeChat message from Feng Jiashu popped up in her message bar.

Feng Jiashu: [The longans you sent were so sweet, I couldn't help but eat several more.]

He Qiaoyun exited the short video, opened WeChat, and replied: 【Freshly picked. If you have time, you can bring Tiantian to pick some.】

Feng Jiashu: [Okay, I'll take Tian Tian over to play this weekend.]

He Qiaoyun unconsciously smiled and replied: 【Okay!】

After the conversation ended, she scrolled through the chat history, as if she had forgotten about the unpleasant things.

I glanced at the time casually and realized it was already 9:30.

Just as she was about to put down her phone to wash the dishes and tidy up the kitchen, her daughter's WeChat message popped up.

Xu Hemei: [Mom! The bracelet you gave me is gone! I suspect my mother-in-law took it!]

Looking at the message, He Qiaoyun sighed helplessly and suggested the most effective solution: [Call the police.]

Xu Hemei: [Calling the police won't do any good. I have no evidence. Even if I accuse them, it will just end up being a domestic dispute case.]

He Qiaoyun rubbed her forehead, wanting to scold her daughter, but she held back. After all, what's done is done, and scolding wouldn't help. She made a phone call to comfort her.

"Mom, it's over nine thousand! My pure gold bracelet..." Xu Hemei cried on the phone, "And that LV bag from last time, Duan Fei said he'd compensate me, but his salary card is with his mom, he didn't compensate me at all, I've lost so much!"

He Qiaoyun felt a sense of powerlessness, as if she couldn't reach into the screen to pry open her daughter's head. "Ask him for it. His mother lost this bag, so he should be the one to pay for it."

Xu Hemei sighed, "Forget it, let's put this matter aside for now. Mom, how do I get my mother-in-law to give back the bracelet? It was a gift from you..."

He Qiaoyun knew Wu Man's personality; she was obsessed with money, and getting her to give back what she had already gotten would be incredibly difficult. Besides, her son-in-law was a mama's boy, so even if his mother had taken it, he could easily smooth things over and get away with it.

“He Mei, have you ever thought about letting Duan Fei let you manage his salary card?” He Qiaoyun said. “You are his wife, and you and he both need to understand that.”

"Mom, I've tried, but my mother-in-law always tells me I'm wasting money and won't let me manage it. Duan Fei is also in a difficult position. I..."

He Qiaoyun rubbed her forehead and couldn't help but curse, "His mother, his mother, if you're going to make things so difficult for him, just let him go with his mother! I've never seen such a troublesome mother-in-law, always revolving around her son, does she really think she has a throne to inherit in her family?"

She didn't even spare her daughter, continuing to berate her: "And you, for such a mama's boy, you've wronged yourself so much, going on and on about love. Do you really think love can sustain you? Let me tell you, you're driving yourself to your doom!"

Xu Hemei was scolded but dared not utter a word. She weakly said, "Mom, I've already started sending out resumes and looking for a job."

Actually, she's been really stressed lately. She's been married to Duan Fei for a year, trying to conceive for a year, but hasn't gotten pregnant. She's under a lot of pressure, and on top of that, her neurotic mother-in-law nags her every day. It's driving her crazy...

It was only at times like this that she realized only her own mother was good to her, and she only dared to confide in her mother when she was wronged.

Hearing her words, He Qiaoyun calmed down a bit. "How's the search going?"

"I'm too embarrassed to go back to the affiliated hospital of the medical university, so I want to go to another hospital... I've also applied to a private hospital and am waiting for a reply."

He Qiaoyun reluctantly agreed.

"Mom, I have to go back now. You should get some rest too."

Xu Hemei hung up the phone, walked out of the milk tea shop, and went home.

When she got home, she saw Wu Man sitting on the sofa watching short videos with the volume turned up very loud, which hurt her ears.

"It's so noisy!" she cursed, frowning.
