He Qiaoyun walked out of Feng's office building and ran into He Ping, whom she hadn't seen for a long time, outside the door.

The two met briefly. When He Ping saw her, he didn't blush or feel guilty. He looked directly at her, as if he had something to say.

He did indeed have something to say.

He planted twelve acres of grapes, such a large quantity, and they were almost ripe, but he couldn't find a market for them. Although he wasn't short of money, he came from a farming background and had experienced hardship, and he felt bad about so much fruit rotting in the fields, so he kept looking for a market.

After visiting the wholesale market, he found that the prices offered were not even enough to cover his costs. Although he was eager to sell the fruit, he didn't want to lose money.

That's why he shamelessly wanted to come back and discuss the cooperation with the supermarket again... Meeting He Qiaoyun here was fate; if she could lend a hand, that would be wonderful.

He Qiaoyun saw him but ignored him and left directly.

The next moment, He Ping spoke up, "We're all from the same village, and you don't even greet each other when you meet. Is this how your parents taught you? You're so rude."

He Qiaoyun rolled her eyes silently, not even glancing at him, and walked away with her hands in her pockets.

Seeing this, He Ping quickly chased after her, "Hey, He Qiaoyun, let's put aside our past grievances and shake hands to make peace, okay?"

He Qiaoyun couldn't help but laugh when she heard this, glancing at him sideways: "He Ping, do you think I'm some kind of cheap person? Just because someone bullies me doesn't mean I have to put up with it. Just because you want to shake hands and make peace doesn't mean I have to accept it?"

He Ping's face turned somewhat awkward, so he simply spread his hands and said, "Then what do you want? What else do you want from me? I've already apologized to you, so please don't be so petty and nitpicky."

He Qiaoyun rolled her eyes at him, crossed her arms, and said coldly, "I want you to die. Die right now in front of me, and I'll forgive you. Can you do that?"

The unfair treatment she's suffered lately is all because of him, and now he casually says we can shake hands and make peace? Bah! She must be out of her mind to make peace with him.

Hearing this, He Ping's face turned green with anger. Pointing at her, he gritted his teeth and said, "He Qiaoyun, you ungrateful woman, don't go too far! I was the one who negotiated the grape order for you. Now that you're doing so well, you don't recognize my kindness! You are disloyal, unfilial, heartless, and unjust!"

He Qiaoyun was not affected by his words at all, and calmly said, "Justice resides in the hearts of the people. I have done nothing wrong. If you keep talking nonsense, you may be struck by lightning."

No sooner had he finished speaking than a loud rumble sounded in the bright, sunny sky, and dark clouds instantly filled the sky.

He Ping was clearly startled and unconsciously took two steps back.

He Qiaoyun raised an eyebrow. "See, words become law. You'd better not mess with me in the future, and don't talk nonsense, or you might really get struck by lightning."

He Ping snorted coldly, "It's just a coincidence. Don't talk nonsense, or you'll be the first one to get chopped down!"

The words fell at the same time as a muffled clap of thunder.

He Qiaoyun listened to the thunder, never expecting the rain to come at such a convenient time.

In the rainy season in the south, it's common to see dark clouds gathering overhead at any time, followed by lightning, thunder, and a sudden downpour.

He Ping, however, couldn't help but feel a little scared. He muttered something under his breath, glared at He Qiaoyun, and then left.

A storm was brewing, and as it looked like it was about to rain, He Qiaoyun hurriedly ran into the mall.

The shopping mall was across the street from the office building, and the rain started without warning, getting her a little wet.

Stepping into the mall, a wave of cool air hits you, instantly making you feel chilly.

She took the elevator to the underground parking lot, sat in her car and dried her slightly damp hair. Since she didn't have anything to do at the moment, she decided to wait for the downpour outside to subside before leaving.

While scrolling through my phone in the car for a while, my eldest son, Xu Feichi, whom I hadn't contacted in a long time, called.

She answered the phone, "Hello?"

On the other end of the phone, Xu Feichi bombarded her with questions: "Mom! Did you crash into a Maybach?!"

He Qiaoyun was taken aback. "How did you know?"

Xu Feichi said, "It's all over the internet now. Mom, how could you drive so carelessly? That's a very expensive car, you'll have to pay a lot of money to pay for it!"

He Qiaoyun felt inexplicably unhappy when she heard her son's words, as if he was using her car accident as an outlet for his emotions... It was truly a blessing from heaven that she hadn't become twisted or abnormal in such a family environment.

She said, "The accident has already happened, now is not the time to blame me. Besides, I will pay for the accident myself, it's none of your business."

Xu Feichi was taken aback by her words. "Mom, what do you mean by that? I'm your son."

He didn't understand what she meant by "he doesn't need to worry about it." He was her son, and he should have a share of the money she earned. Wasn't the money from the car accident compensation going to be deducted from his pay?

He's really getting senile! Of all things to hit, he had to run into a Maybach.

He Qiaoyun simply said, "Yes, you are my son. I raised you to adulthood, and it's time for you to take care of me. You can pay for the repairs of the Maybach."

Xu Feichi on the other end of the phone panicked, "Mom, you're the one who crashed the car! Besides, Haoyan and Qingqing are starting school in a few days, and I'm under a lot of pressure. Where am I going to get the money..."

He continued his accusations, "And I know you secretly transferred 50,000 yuan to Lin Liu, Mom, who is your real child anyway!"

He Qiaoyun asked, "Has she squandered the money I gave her?"

Xu Feichi immediately said, "She wouldn't dare. We still have a mortgage to pay off, so she would definitely use the money to pay off the mortgage first, and then use it for living expenses."

He Qiaoyun said, "In other words, you used this money together."

Xu Feichi replied, "Of course."

He Qiaoyun then said, "Since you two used this money together, what are you still dissatisfied about?"

For a moment, Xu Feichi was speechless. "Mom, I..."

He Qiaoyun pinched the bridge of her nose. "If there's nothing else, I'll hang up now. You should focus on your work."

"I'm currently unemployed."

He Qiaoyun's anger, which had just subsided, surged again. She couldn't help but want to curse him as useless, but she held back and asked helplessly, "What is it now?"

His tone was one of utter exhaustion.

Xu Feichi didn't explain why he was unemployed, but simply said, "Mom, how about I come back and help you manage the orchard? I see you're so busy all by yourself..."

He Qiaoyun interrupted, "Get out."

Then, he hung up the phone decisively.

She knew her son well; if he couldn't do well in those companies with strict rules and regulations, how could she expect him to do well back at the orchard? He'd probably just cause her trouble every few days.

A message from Xu Feichi popped up on his phone: "Mom, I really don't want to look for a job anymore. It's so hard to find work these days. Can you let me try working at your orchard? I'm sure I can help you make it bigger and stronger."

He Qiaoyun replied: 【Go find your dad.】

Xu Feichi: [Dad's business is also struggling right now. Both factories are doing poorly, so he had to lay off many long-term employees. A bunch of goods are sitting in the warehouse unsold. Just a few days ago, he even asked me for money and sold Grandma's old house.]
