I Got Rich in Period Fiction-Chapter 139: She is a complete novice in front of He Xiuyu

Chapter 139: Chapter 139: She is a complete novice in front of He Xiuyu

He Xiuyu gave off a serious demeanor, but Qiao Qingyu had reason to suspect that he wasn’t just there to drive the car or ride a bicycle.

She’s still a child. She doesn’t understand anything.

No, no, that wasn’t what they were talking about just now. How did the topic drift so far so quickly?

But what should she say?

Undeniably, Chen Dandan was indeed skilled.

Qiao Qingyu felt she was quite strong and knew self-defense, fancying herself as formidable enough to dare invade a human trafficker’s den alone and even confront a Japanese alone, but had she encountered Chen Dandan initially, she might not have survived She might not have made it out of Shangpo Village alive.

Back then, behind the commune warehouse’s mountainside wall, she couldn’t move her right arm and had been standing for almost half an hour already, her legs growing weak and sore. Yet, Chen Dandan, pressing a handgun against her waist, didn’t move at all even as she screamed excitedly; her posture and hands remained incredibly steady.

No wonder she claimed she stood for 48 hours in blistering cold. What kind of inhuman, devilish training was that, and how had she achieved it?

She was just in her twenties this year, born in the fifties. She couldn’t possibly have been trained from birth.

Thus, it proved true that beyond the heavens, there are more heavens; beyond people, there are more people.

Qiao Qingyu had indeed learned a lesson.

While Qiao Qingyu was lost in thought, He Xiuyu slowly reached out, gently pinching her chin with his thumb and index finger, much like the first time they met in the temporary family quarters’ dilapidated house.

At that time, he had examined the marks on her neck.

However, now, He Xiuyu frowned slightly, seemingly displeased with Qiao Qingyu’s distraction, and then Qiao Qingyu suddenly slapped his hand away.

He Xiuyu didn’t mind. He relaxed his eyebrows and smiled, "Qiao Qingyu, even though my reasoning was correct, I still frightened you. What compensation would you like?"

"What compensation can you give me?"

"What would you like?" He Xiuyu asked slowly, but now his voice sounded somewhat huskily unusual.

He felt that teasing this young lady was indeed pleasant, and maybe this was the only way to gradually relax her tightly wound nerves.

Qiao Qingyu blinked. What did she want?

Asking for money seemed a bit crass, especially since any money He Xiuyu had would end up with her anyway.

She had already established the Breeding Laboratory, and in this matter, He Xiuyu had taken very good care of her. Even though He Xiuyu had his own motives, wasn’t she also leveraging the Tenghai brand?

Now that she had nearly accomplished what she needed to do.

So, what did she need?

Seeing Qiao Qingyu genuinely thinking it over, He Xiuyu slowly straightened his body, but he was still very close to Qiao Qingyu, his voice leisurely, "Comrade Qiao Qingyu, the weather is nice today, and the atmosphere is amicable. How about I compensate you with a bridal night?"

Qiao Qingyu’s mouth dropped open in disbelief as she looked at He Xiuyu.

Have you no shame?

Do you have no shame?

To say such a thing in broad daylight!

Actually, she was quite experienced herself, but in front of He Xiuyu, she felt completely like a novice.

Qiao Qingyu glared fiercely at He Xiuyu, pointing outside, "It’s broad daylight now, what are you thinking?"

"Oh," He Xiuyu seemed to have a sudden realization, then asked in a seriously whimsical tone, "If it were nighttime, could I think about it then?"

Qiao Qingyu, "..."

He Xiuyu, you must have a split personality.

How many faces do you really have?

Sharp, cruel, gentle, charming...

She bitterly said, "I’m still young, and I’m not allowed to think about it at night!"

As she spoke, Qiao Qingyu pushed open the door and quickly ran out.

He Xiuyu was left alone in the kitchen, and after a few moments, he slowly curved his lips and began to chuckle softly.

...

Well, after He Xiuyu’s meddling, Qiao Qingyu’s mood finally fully recovered. Since He Xiuyu had already arranged for Tianbao, she needed to prepare dinner.

She took out some Chinese cabbage and little bocai from the box outside. He Xiuyu, still in his work clothes, told her to pick up Rongrong from the base kindergarten and bring Tianbao and Accountant Zhang over for dinner.

Qiao Qingyu couldn’t be bothered with him and slammed the door shut.

Soon after, Old Xie from the base brought over a few kilograms of meat and a fish, along with two large Chinese cabbages.

Then he dragged Qiao Qingyu outside to the courtyard, pointing at the vegetable and flower seedlings that had begun to sprout, speaking almost incoherently, "Jade, you promised me, once these sprout, you have to transplant some for me."

"I promised you and I won’t go back on my word, but I won’t help you. You have to do the work yourself, and you better not damage any of my other seedlings."

The front yard and back yard weren’t small either, she had so many things to do, how could she spare the time to pluck seedlings for Old Xie?

"No need for you, no need," Old Xie said, and after that, he happily left.

Qiao Qingyu was washing the Chinese cabbage when Lu Ye arrived in a car at the family quarter.

The truck was loaded with gastrodia seeds and red flower seeds.

Planting gastrodia seeds wasn’t that simple, although similar to the cultivation methods of potato tubers, it also required a mycelial environment.

So, there weren’t many, just a few hundred kilograms, the rest were red flower seeds.

He and Qiao Qingyu had already made arrangements, but Qiao Qingyu didn’t show up.

Calling Mr. Qian at the commune, he found out Mr. Qian had been hospitalized.

A sense of unease crept into his heart, so he inquired about what happened at the entrance of Xiaxi Commune. He didn’t know the specifics, but from just a headline, he understood everything.

Lu Ye panicked instantly.

It was impossible to wait until tomorrow, but visiting Qiao Qingyu now felt problematic.

So, he went to the seed station, loaded the gastrodia and red flower seeds Qiao Qingyu wanted onto the truck, and personally delivered them to her.

Mainly, he wanted to see how Qiao Qingyu was doing.

He had a work pass and a letter of introduction, and Old Wei also knew him. With one phone call, Lu Ye drove into the family quarter.

The door of He Xiuyu’s house was slightly ajar.

Seeing King Qiao in that moment, his heart finally settled.

Guests should be welcomed, and Qiao Qingyu hadn’t expected Lu Ye to come.

She ushered him into the yard.

Lu Ye stood at the gate, inviting her to come out and look at the medicinal seed materials on the truck.

Qiao Qingyu stepped outside, glanced at the truck loaded with bags, but couldn’t really make out what was inside.

She smiled, "Come inside for a drink first."

Lu Ye didn’t move or respond to Qiao Qingyu’s offer. He stood a few steps away from Qiao Qingyu and said, "Truly King Qiao, facing such a big incident, you didn’t stay a few days in the hospital or lie down to rest?"

Hearing Lu Ye’s sarcastic words, Qiao Qingyu was somewhat speechless.

She glared at him, "Lu Xiaopang, can’t you speak nicely? You obviously care about me, yet you insist on mocking me. Tell me, with an attitude like yours, can you ever find a wife in this lifetime?"
