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

After hearing what Xiao Ye said, He Qiaoyun looked up and glanced at the time.

It will be nine o'clock in about ten minutes.

Even if the company is very close, you still have to factor in the time spent waiting at traffic lights, finding a parking space, and waiting for the elevator...

He did indeed risk being late for work by "dropping her off" at the small supermarket.

To be honest, she could feel the constant sparks between Feng Jiashu and herself, but she didn't know how to respond.

This is probably what young people often say: touching something and then pulling their hand back.

Forget it, let nature take its course.

Seeing He Qiaoyun lost in thought, Xiao Ye waved her hand in front of her face, "Sister?"

He Qiaoyun snapped out of her daze and asked, "What's wrong?"

Xiao Ye shook her head. "It's nothing, I just wanted to ask you if my analysis was correct?"

He Qiaoyun smiled faintly, not responding directly, but changing the subject, "Someone will be delivering drinks later. It will be hard to move them to the warehouse. I have to go back to the orchard."

Xiao Ye pouted, "Oh, I see."

He Qiaoyun didn't linger any longer. She walked through the warehouse, opened the back door, and drove the van back to the orchard.

As soon as the car pulled into the house, Sister Xia arrived, excitedly saying, "Qiaoyun, I knew you'd be coming back today!"

He Qiaoyun got out of the car and, as she opened the back door, asked, "Sister Xia, what's making you so happy?"

As soon as Sister Xia saw her carrying the empty fruit baskets down, she immediately went over to lend a hand, excitedly saying, "Just now, the supermarket that you work with came to see my greenhouse!"

He Qiaoyun was surprised, "Really?"

A couple of days ago, she recommended Sister Xia's fruit to the supermarket manager, but the manager didn't give a clear answer, only saying that they would consider it.

She thought "we'll consider it" was just a polite way of declining, but to her surprise, they really did consider it seriously and accepted her recommendation.

Sister Xia grabbed her hand and said excitedly, "Of course it's true! The contract is signed, just now, and it's the same purchase price as yours!"

"Qiaoyun, I have to thank you."

He Qiaoyun smiled and said, "Why thank me? It's because your fruit is good that they accepted it."

Sister Xia said, "I know my own land size, and it must be because you introduced me to someone. Otherwise, why didn't they ask when they came last time? Thank you so much, otherwise I would still be worried."

He Qiaoyun smiled and said, "I just mentioned it to them. It was their own decision to want it. Oh, let's not be so polite. It's hot, come inside."

Sister Xia readily agreed, "Okay, sure."

The two went inside.

He Qiaoyun carried the vegetables and fruits she brought back into the kitchen, and Sister Xia followed her, saying with a smile, "Now it's all good, our fruits have been ordered, who knows how envious they'll be."

He Qiaoyun laughed too, "That's the effect I wanted, to make them envious."

No sooner had she finished speaking than a voice came from outside the door, "Qiaoyun, you're back?"

As He Qiaoyun and Sister Xia walked outside, they saw Sister Meng from their cooperative standing in the yard, carrying a small basket of strawberries.

Sister Meng walked over and stuffed the strawberries in her hand into He Qiaoyun's hand. "Here, these were sent by my own daughter. They're so sweet. Take them inside, wash them, and try them."

He Qiaoyun refused to accept it, reaching out to stop it, and said with a smile, "Sister Meng, it's not a holiday, so it's not appropriate for me to accept it."

This person clearly wanted something from her, and it was about the grapes.

Sister Meng was very enthusiastic, saying, "Oh, what's so hard about accepting this? Just take it. It's just a few strawberries, nothing valuable."

He Qiaoyun refused again, "I don't like strawberries, Sister Meng. You should take them back for your grandchildren."

Sister Meng looked embarrassed, glanced at Sister Xia, and then handed the strawberries to Sister Xia, saying, "Sister Xia, take them inside and wash them."

Sister Xia said, "Sister Meng, this is Qiaoyun's house. I'm just visiting. If she, as the host, doesn't accept the gift, how can I accept it for her? It's not proper etiquette."

He Qiaoyun didn't want to beat around the bush like this, so she asked directly, "Sister Meng, you're here about the grapes, right?"

Sister Meng smiled ingratiatingly and began to complain and play the victim: "It's true, Qiaoyun, my five mu of land are almost ripe. If I had a market, I wouldn't be bothering you. Who would have thought He Ping would suddenly... Sigh, I haven't been able to sleep at night because of this, afraid the fruit will rot in the ground..."

Instead of being overwhelmed with sympathy, He Qiaoyun said, "Sister Meng, it's no use you coming to me. They only agreed to cooperate with me because of the previous contract. Whether or not they cooperate depends on the supermarket. I'm just a small farmer, I can't influence the company's decision, right?"

Meng Jie's expression stiffened. "Yes, that makes sense, but," she looked at Xia Jie, a glimmer of hope rekindling in her eyes, "didn't you help Xia Jie secure an order? I just saw her seeing off the supermarket staff."

Sister Xia quickly denied it, "She only cooperated with me after reading the previous contract. It has nothing to do with Qiaoyun. Don't make things difficult for her."

Sister Meng smiled and said, "We're all from the same village, so what's there to hide? Helping is helping."

Sister Xia pursed her lips, speechless.

He Qiaoyun denied it either, saying, "I didn't help. Xia Jie got it herself. If you want orders, you have to fight for them yourselves."

It seems Sister Meng has forgotten that her husband was among those who caused trouble and demolished her grape greenhouse that day.

Regardless of whether her husband was involved in the demolition or not, she wouldn't stoop to help anyone on the side that was demolishing the greenhouses.

Let her sell wherever she wants, it's none of her business.

Sister Meng waved her hand, "That's true, but we're all country folk, not good with words, unlike you, who lives in the city all the time, is well-traveled, and eloquent..."

He Qiaoyun interrupted, saying helplessly, "Sister Meng, it's not that I don't want to talk to you, it's that I'm afraid. I'm afraid that if I do this, I'll annoy them and they'll think I'm making a fuss and they won't want my fruit anymore. It's ten acres of land, where can I go to reason with them? Don't you think so?"

Sister Meng looked embarrassed again. "Qiaoyun, you can't be so heartless. Everyone relies on the produce from the fields to make a living. I work in the fields from dawn till dusk every day. Can you really bear to watch the fruit rot in the fields?"

They always managed to turn their attention to He Qiaoyun as if it were all her fault that their fruit couldn't be sold.

He Qiaoyun remained unmoved. "Sister Meng, I really have no other choice. How about this, I'll give you the supermarket manager's phone number, you can contact him yourself?"

Sister Meng looked at her with a hint of resentment. "Qiaoyun, your brother Zhengzhi used to hold you. You're related to our family, after all."

He Qiaoyun smiled and said, "That happened so many years ago. A few years ago, when your family held your 100-day celebration, I went to the banquet and held your eldest grandson. We're even now."

When Sister Xia heard this, she wanted to laugh but held it in.

Sister Meng was extremely embarrassed, so she stopped talking and slunk away with the strawberries.

Sister Xia laughed after seeing her leave, "Qiaoyun, you're really too bold now, you don't leave anyone any face at all."

He Qiaoyun shrugged indifferently, "At this age, let's stop pretending. Just say what's on your mind. Don't fight amongst yourselves. The most important thing is to be in a good mood. As for the rest, let karma take its course."

Xia Jie covered her mouth and laughed upon hearing this, "Insightful."
