I Got Rich in Period Fiction-Chapter 92: King Qiao Eating Bran and Vegetables

He Xiuyu.

Chief Engineer He!

The person in charge of Tenghai Research Base, rumored to be some sort of commander as well, with a high salary and good benefits. Could it be that he can’t even provide for his wife?

Yes, it must be so. This guy is a bastard; he surely gives all the money he earns to his parents in Beijing.

Then leaving his King Qiao to eat chaff and swallow vegetables.

King Qiao is a strong-willed person, definitely the type to grit her teeth and swallow blood, so she has no choice but to go work the land with the other members to earn a living.

Thinking of this, Lu Ye’s eyes suddenly turned red, and with a swoosh, he sat up from the bed, pounding it fiercely, cursing through clenched teeth, "He Xiuyu, you bastard, what kind of man are you if you can’t support your wife?"

After muttering a string of curses, Lu Ye’s eyes gradually lit up with a glint of determination.

He had to help King Qiao.

The majestic King Qiao should be living a majestic and domineering life, not picking up a hoe to work the fields with farmers.

So he must help her.

How could he help without being rejected by Qiao Qingyu? He had to think it over.

At this moment, Wu Tai was already sitting in the airport VIP lounge, with the flight to M country taking off in two hours.

This flight had only just been established.

Its schedule was still not very stable.

Wu Tai, with his eyes closed, could not stop picturing Qiao Qingyu’s face in his mind.

The girl looked so much like his little aunt.

Especially those eyes, they were exactly the same.

His little aunt had passed away many years ago, and except for the photographs, her image in his mind had gradually become blurry.

But because of Qiao Qingyu, her visage had come alive again.

He was a sinner.

His mother, for the sake of the family property, had harmed her cousin and then his little aunt, and although she became a vegetable and had received her karma, she was still alive after all.

Suddenly, Wu Tai’s heart jolted.

He did not know how old Qiao Qingyu was, nor had he had the chance to ask, but by looking at her, she appeared to be only seventeen or eighteen years old.

Wu Qianyun was fifty-one this year.

Was there any connection between the two of them?

Thinking this, he suddenly opened his eyes and instructed his assistant in a low voice, "Go call Secretary Chang right now, tell him to put aside his work and find a reasonable excuse to subtly inquire about Qiao Qingyu’s family relations."

The assistant had been with him for many years and obviously knew what Wu Tai was thinking, so he nodded, whispered a command to a follower nearby, and then quickly left.

Although this night was not peaceful, the morning light still broke through the clouds, gradually spreading across the eastern sky.

The gray sky suddenly cleared.

A new day had arrived.

At the family quarters in the base, it soon became lively, and today, the base’s trucks also came to assist. However, due to the tight work schedule at the base, Old Wei only dispatched five trucks. To avoid causing discontent and imbalance in some people’s hearts, he simply arranged the relocation process from the farthest to the nearest, from the inside out according to the layout of the family quarters. This way, the rest of the families had no complaints.

Chief Engineer He’s team naturally included several young men. Qiao Qingyu only recognized Shen Haoze and the driver, Sun Dazhi.

Su Yunyao, of course, didn’t come.

However, standing at the doorway, Qiao Qingyu heard someone in Mr. Li’s yard calling out for Dandan.

Dandan must be that Chen Dandan, supposedly a recent university graduate. Her home is in Yun City, a true Southerner.

She spoke in a gentle and soft voice.

Qiao Qingyu glanced at the yard and, taking He Xuerong’s little hand, headed to Li Zhiqiang’s home.

They didn’t live at the very back; it was estimated that it would be an hour later before it was their turn. As for some items that were not convenient for others to touch, Qiao Qingyu had already packed them up tightly, so these people could just move them directly.

Just now, He Xiuyu had also told her not to worry about anything and to follow him back to the new house later.

New society, new customs; so setting off firecrackers was omitted. However, the base leaders were supposed to give speeches, scheduled for eleven o’clock in the morning. After the speeches, everyone would start cooking to fill the houses with the smell of homeliness, and then they would truly move in.

It was also a way to celebrate Qiao Qingyu’s housewarming.

There was plenty of time, Qiao Qingyu wasn’t in a rush. She stood outside the wall of Mr. Li’s house, curiously observing everyone one by one, and then she noticed that there was indeed a girl next to Mr. Li. She wasn’t too close to him, but the way they spoke seemed very familiar.

Not far away, Sister-in-law Li’s expression was very calm.

But now she didn’t know if this girl was the female spy who had ruined Mr. Li’s family. If she wasn’t, she would have wronged an innocent girl.

Qiao Qingyu was preparing to conduct an experiment.

Perhaps today was a good opportunity; how would she be able to interact with someone named Chen Dandan on a normal day?

Ultimately, this matter still rested with Li Zhiqiang. If he had been upright and proper, he wouldn’t have let anyone take advantage of him.

Qiao Qingyu really couldn’t wait until he made the mistake before stepping in; not to mention whether it would cause losses for the base by that time, nor whether it was of great concern to her, but just thinking of Sister-in-law Li and Li Mingguang—these two people would live in the shadow of this incident for a lifetime. If Xiao Hu had a traitorous father, that would essentially cut off many paths for Xiao Hu’s future.

This was entirely unfair to the future Xiao Hu; this wasn’t his fault, yet all the outcomes of the mistakes would fall on his head alone.

Xiao Hu was a sensible child; when she took the two kids to the commune or the wasteland, it was Xiao Hu who took care of Rongrong, freeing her from worry.

Therefore, regarding the current situation, she had to stir things up no matter what. After all, the mighty power of the plot god always had to show off every once in a while.

And indeed, Chen Dandan’s appearance reminded her of someone.

Qiao Qingyu hadn’t even discussed it in advance with He Xiuyu before she simply waved her hand and called out, "Brother Li, He Xiuyu is looking for you, he has something to discuss with you."

She believed that the clever He Xiuyu wouldn’t ruin her ruse; he truly was someone who could understand unspoken hints.

Isn’t it evident that her thoughts of divorce had almost vanished now?

So, sugar-coated shells, especially the handsome ones, genuinely possess an irresistible charm.

Without such a complicated family background, Qiao Qingyu would have taken He Xiuyu without any psychological burden. She was no fool, nor was she pretentious. Letting such an exceptional man slip through her fingers to someone else would be a huge loss.

But there was no helping it, their relationship was too awkward. How could she brazenly face the He Family with this face of hers?

Because she looked a lot like her mother, Han Xianglan.

When Mr. Li heard Qiao Qingyu’s words, he quickly set aside his work, and at that moment, Chen Dandan, not far from him, also looked in Qiao Qingyu’s direction.

Perhaps it was indeed because Qiao Qingyu had preconceived notions in her heart, so she felt that this Chen Dandan’s gaze looked innocent and her smile harmless, yet this person seemed less than simple.
