Chapter 166 They might
As the car slowly drove out of the industrial park, He Qiaoyun inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief.
She couldn't help but sigh. If Gao Hui hadn't come to see her this morning, she would never have imagined that Xu Hui would be eyeing her daughter's money.
All of this is interconnected; missing even one link would cause chaos and lead to an uncontrollable situation.
As the car drove onto the main road, she glanced at the time; it was only 3:30. It would only take an hour to get back to the village, so she could still make it.
She went back to her rented room, picked up some odds and ends, and was about to leave when she suddenly received a call from Liu Biao.
She answered the phone as she got into the car, "Hello?"
Liu Biao: "Qiaoyun, are you free tonight? Let's have dinner together."
He Qiaoyun put down what she was holding. "I'm afraid it's not possible today. I have to go back to the village. Is there something you want to tell me?"
Liu Biao: "Oh, nothing much, I just wanted to chat with you."
While fastening her seatbelt, He Qiaoyun said, "Let's do it another day, I really have to go back and get busy."
Liu Biao persisted, "When is 'another day'?"
He Qiaoyun chuckled, "I'm not too sure about that either. I guess it'll be around National Day. Are you sure you don't have something to tell me? You're being so hesitant. It's not like you at all."
Liu Biao: "It's okay, go ahead and do your work. I'll make plans with you again during the National Day holiday."
He Qiaoyun: "Okay, I'm hanging up."
She hung up the phone, started the car, and slowly drove out of the parking lot.
She was going to take the newly opened highway back, which wouldn't pass through the town, so she stopped at the market and bought some fresh vegetables, meat, and her favorite seafood.
After buying everything, they drove to the village.
At this time, we perfectly avoided the evening rush hour and quickly left the city, getting on the highway back home.
She returned to the village at 5:30 p.m.
With the high temperatures these past few days, she was worried that the grapes would wither and die, or develop pests and diseases, so she didn't have time to go home and went to check on the greenhouse first.
I lifted the curtain and carefully walked around. Seeing that the grapes were all intact, my heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down.
Perhaps it's because autumn has arrived, but it's getting dark earlier lately. Just after six o'clock, the sunset on the horizon slowly faded away.
She had planned to go to the orchard again to check on the longan harvest, but seeing the weather and her rumbling stomach, she gave up and drove home.
When I got home, I moved the ingredients into the kitchen, opened the refrigerator, cleaned out the uneaten vegetable leaves, and then sorted and put away the fresh ingredients.
After doing all this, it gradually got dark.
As the sun sets and the moon hangs high in the sky, dinner for one is ready.
Just as we were about to eat, Xia Jie's voice came from outside the door, "Qiaoyun, I knew it was you who came back."
He Qiaoyun chuckled and went to open the door. "Sister Xia, have you eaten yet?"
Sister Xia came in and sat down, saying, "I've already eaten, but your food smells so good."
He Qiaoyun asked, "Would you like some more? I'll get you a bowl."
Sister Xia waved her hand, "No need, no need, I'm already full. It's just that my grandchildren have all gone back to the city to study, and I have nothing to do. I saw your car at the village entrance just now, so I came to find you."
He Qiaoyun laughed, "I get bored eating alone, but National Day is coming soon, and they will be able to come back to see you then. Or if you miss them, you can go to the city to see them."
Speaking of National Day, Sister Xia got a little excited, "They said in the WeChat group yesterday that they would come back to pick us up during National Day so that the whole family could go on a trip together."
He Qiaoyun felt a pang of envy. "That's wonderful. Your children are so filial."
Unlike her two troublesome sons, whose mere mention of them makes one angry.
Sister Xia waved her hand modestly, "Oh, no, actually I didn't want to go either. I just wanted to wander around Haicheng. Why spend so much money going out and making a fuss?"
He Qiaoyun smiled and said, "It's National Day, so it's lively. It's good to go out and see the sights and experience things. Traveling can really improve your mood."
Sister Xia smiled and said, "That's true. By the way, do you have any plans for the National Day holiday?"
He Qiaoyun shook her head, "I don't know yet."
Seeing that she was in low spirits, Sister Xia didn't mention her child again, but changed the subject, "By the way, is that young man in your WeChat Moments post from Mid-Autumn Festival your daughter's boyfriend? Oh my, he's so handsome, and has such a good appearance, much better than that dull son-in-law from before."
He Qiaoyun chuckled, "Oh no, it's just a customer who ordered fruit before."
Sister Xia was surprised, "Your daughter didn't even like a young man like that?"
He Qiaoyun sighed helplessly, "She just got divorced and doesn't have any thoughts about that yet, but she's worried about this and that, saying people look down on her because she's divorced..."
Sister Xia sighed, "Well, her worries are understandable." Then, she probed indirectly, "So what does this young man do for a living?"
He Qiaoyun said, "He is a lawyer partner with his own law firm, and he seems to be two years older than my daughter."
Sister Xia's eyes lit up. "I have a niece who graduated from a 211 university and now works for the city government. She's quite pretty. Is it possible to set them up? My niece is 28 this year, and my sister is so worried about her. She's always asking around about blind dates because she's afraid her daughter won't be able to get married."
He Qiaoyun originally wanted to leave these excellent resources to her daughter, but her daughter didn't care at all, so let her focus on healing.
She said, "I'll have to ask Xiao Chen about that."
Sister Xia smiled broadly, "Okay, okay, no rush."
The two chatted for a while, and before they knew it, it was getting late. He Qiaoyun had finished her dinner, and Sister Xia was also sleepy, so they said goodbye and left.
By the time He Qiaoyun finished tidying up the table and kitchen, it was already 9:30.
After checking that the front door was properly closed, she turned off the air conditioner in the living room and went to wash up.
After taking a shower, she lay comfortably on the bed, picked up her phone, and first sent a message to Chen Jingzhou: "Hey Chen, my neighbor's sister's daughter graduated from a 211 university and is now working in Haicheng. She's the same age as you. Are you interested in getting to know her?"
The message was sent and immediately rejected: "No need, Auntie."
He Qiaoyun was surprised to be rejected like that. She couldn't help but ask, "Why? She's a really good catch. I've met her before; she's quite a pretty girl."
Chen Jingzhou: [Auntie, why are you like my parents, forced into this situation like a duck being put on a shelf?]
He Qiaoyun: [Meeting wouldn't hurt, right? Maybe I'll really meet the right person.]
Chen Jingzhou: [Auntie, really, it's not necessary. I can't even keep up with all the blind dates my parents have arranged for me. Please leave me alone.]
He Qiaoyun: [Fine, then I'll decline my neighbor's offer.]
Chen Jingzhou: [Yes, thank you, Auntie.]
He Qiaoyun opened her WeChat Moments again, staring at the group photo. She saw Chen Jingzhou and his daughter leaning against each other, looking very pleasing to the eye. She secretly thought that there was a possibility between them.
