Chapter 177 Three people living a good life is more important than anything else.
He Qiaoyun chuckled helplessly: "Why would I be angry?"
Liu Biao sent a voice message: "Then why didn't you reply to my messages last night?"
He Qiaoyun: [I was too tired last night and fell asleep, that's why I didn't reply to you.]
Liu Biao: "That's good. I thought you were going to ignore me again."
He Qiaoyun: [No, don't overthink it.]
Liu Biao: [By the way, where do you want to go? I'll start planning now, booking flights and hotels, otherwise it'll be hard to get reservations when there are so many people.]
He Qiaoyun fell silent. Her saying she'd consider it yesterday was just a way to appease him; otherwise, he would have persisted until she agreed...
After a long silence, she said, "I won't go. You go by yourself."
Liu Biao: [Why are you still angry with me? You're upset because I paid your phone bill without my permission, right?]
He Qiaoyun sighed and rubbed her forehead: "No, I'm not angry. It's just that I have other plans for National Day."
Liu Biao pressed further: "What are the plans?"
He Qiaoyun fell silent again, unsure how to respond.
Seeing that she didn't reply, Liu Biao sent another message: "If you're not going, it'll be boring for me alone. Whatever your plans, I'll spend National Day with you."
He Qiaoyun took a deep breath, deciding to reply to him later. So she exited WeChat, put down her phone, ate the half-cold bowl of porridge, tidied the table, and went out.
It was getting late. When she arrived at the greenhouse, the helpers who were harvesting the fruit had already arrived one after another and were sitting by the field ridge waiting for her.
"Qiaoyun, you're late," they joked.
He Qiaoyun forced a smile, "I got up a little late."
While the supermarket truck was still waiting, they gathered around her and started chatting.
Did you have guests at your house yesterday?
He Qiaoyun nodded, "Yes, two friends came to visit me yesterday."
Upon hearing this, they exchanged a glance and laughed.
He Qiaoyun asked, puzzled, "What are you laughing at?"
An older woman pulled her aside and asked, "Tell me the truth, did you have two boyfriends all at once?"
He Qiaoyun laughed in exasperation upon hearing this. "No, they are all just my friends. You're overthinking it."
They waved their hands, looking unconvinced, and even praised her for her abilities, saying, "You're quite capable. You dated two boyfriends, both of whom were rich, good-looking, and had good tempers, and you didn't even fight with them."
He Qiaoyun sighed, "Uncle, Aunt, you're really overthinking it. I didn't date two boyfriends."
They still didn't believe it, and asked with a smile, "Which one is the eldest son's wife, and which one is the youngest?"
"I guess the one with the child is the first wife, and the one without the child is probably the concubine, since she arrived later."
"Indeed, one is so refined and gentle, the other is so strong and powerful. Qiaoyun, you really know how to live a good life."
He Qiaoyun explained until her lips were hoarse, "Really, no, we're just friends, it's not what you think..."
They said, "Oh, you're still embarrassed? You've already started dating, so what's there to be embarrassed about? It's not bigamy, it's just a moral issue."
"Yes, as long as they don't fight, it would be great if the three of them could live peacefully together."
"We can't even be envious. If I woke up to find two good men lying next to me, I'd laugh even in my nightmares."
"Oh dear, you even dreamed about it..."
"Just think about it..."
As the group talked, they became quite pleased with themselves, and He Qiaoyun couldn't get a word in edgewise, so she could only let them talk.
People are always opportunistic. When He Qiaoyun isn't looking, they go to great lengths to belittle her, but the moment they're in her presence, they all behave themselves...
Before long, the supermarket's delivery truck arrived, and the group stopped talking and got up to get busy. He Qiaoyun finally had some peace and quiet.
She chatted with the person in charge for a while, then went to the greenhouse to help.
They're busy all day long without stopping.
As evening approached, the last truckload of fruit was delivered.
Watching the car drive away, she smiled and breathed a sigh of relief.
All three batches of fruit have been delivered, so all the work wasn't in vain.
The fruit-picking helpers were also exhausted, sitting by the roadside or on the edge of the field drinking water, all of them no longer as energetic as they had been in the morning.
He Qiaoyun said to them, "Everyone has worked hard today. I'll finish up. Go home early. I'll settle the accounts tonight and pay you your wages."
A group of people stood up and said goodbye to her, "Okay, go home early when you're done."
"it is good."
After they left, she closed the greenhouse, picked up the trash on the ground, tidied up the odds and ends, and headed home as the sky darkened.
When she got home, it was completely dark. She used the last bit of energy to go into the kitchen and cook a meal.
While waiting for their meals, they didn't rest. They checked the accounts with the supermarket staff again and then paid the workers their wages one by one.
Once the meal is ready, all the work is done.
She was so hungry she was about to faint, so she stopped replying to anyone's messages and went to eat.
After finishing my meal quietly, I felt as if I had come back to life.
The supermarket buys high-quality fruit, and there's a leftover batch of fruit. It's still fruit, just a bit small. It's not easy for them to grow, and it would be a waste to throw them away. She wants to contact fruit vendors to buy them at a low price.
But as soon as I pick up my phone, I get tired again and immediately forget what I was supposed to do with it.
After morning, Liu Biao didn't send her any more messages, seemingly knowing she was busy today.
So, he chose to send a greeting half an hour earlier: 【Qiaoyun, how was your day?】
He Qiaoyun: [Yes, everything went smoothly, it's all done.]
Liu Biao: [Okay, then you should rest first.]
Upon seeing this sentence, He Qiaoyun inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief, feeling as if she had been given a reprieve.
She exited the chat window with him and opened Feng Jiashu's information instead.
Feng Jiashu: [How was today?]
She: [Everything went smoothly, all the work is done.]
Feng Jiashu: [Then I'll wait for you to come back in the city.]
She: [Mm.]
Putting down her phone, she recalled the chat she had with the uncles and aunts by the field that morning. She couldn't even imagine how tiring it would be to actually have two boyfriends.
If both of them are vying for her attention, she won't have any personal time at all. After appeasing one, she'll have to appease the other. If the two don't get along and start fighting, she'll have to mediate, and then she'll have to appease them again. It's a vicious cycle.
Isn't this just asking for trouble?
She chuckled and shook her head. "Being a sea king is not something an ordinary person can do."
Just as she was about to put down her phone and clear the table, she suddenly remembered what she was supposed to do: contact someone to collect the fruit.
Really.
Men make mistakes.
She contacted several fruit vendors, but the prices they offered were pitifully low. It seems that this year's fruit won't fetch a good price. She's really lucky this time; she'll be able to earn money from supermarkets.
As long as someone collects it, she doesn't mind. She's already made a profit, so this is just for gas, and it doesn't matter.
So she agreed to let them come and collect the fruit: "This price doesn't include picking; if you're only taking a small amount, you'll have to come and pick it yourself."
The other end quickly replied: "Okay, we'll head over tomorrow morning."
He Qiaoyun: [Okay.]
Well, I'll be busy again tomorrow.
