 Chapter 59 Slap in the face

Xu Xiao Jiao looked at Wang Er Bao, who had an ugly expression because Wang Gui Yue spoke out, and sighed silently.

Today, it was really a coincidence.

Xu Xiao Jiao knew that Wang Er Bao was in the provincial city, because she was the one who gave Wang Er Bao the idea.

After the New Year, Wang Er Bao was persuaded by Auntie Wang to get married to his current wife. Although he treated his new wife well, it was unknown if he was hurt deeply as he was still in a haze every day and had no energy. A grown man with no energy. How could this do?

Auntie Wang felt anxious when she saw her son like this. After thinking about it, she thought of Xu Xiao Jiao.

It was recognized in Meilin Village that Xu Xiao Jiao was knowledgeable. Not only could she provide planting training for everyone, she could also tutor college students. Her knowledge was definitely unparalleled. Secondly, Xu Xiao Jiao was lucky. She had changed from an educated youth to a farmer. At first, she married Song Wei Ping, a man with a poor family situation. However, her life was better than anyone else's nowadays. Song Wei Ping's family was made extremely prosperous by her.

Another one, not only was she good-looking, she had a good temper and liked to smile when she met everyone. Except for those few who said mean things, no one disliked Xu Xiao Jiao. Talking to her made one feel comfortable and relaxed.

Auntie Wang went to Xu Xiao Jiao and requested Xu Xiao Jiao to enlighten her son.

Xu Xiao Jiao agreed without saying a word and became a psychological counselor for a while.

Putting it in her words, Wang Er Bao's vision was limited. She thought so. How much place could he see if he lived in the village all his life? After clearly saying what needed to be said, she gave Wang Er Bao advice and told him to go out to explore. Now that the economy opened up, the outside world was changing with each passing day. Go out, find some work, and do his best. Even if that doesn’t work, he could still take a look at the world outside.

Although Wang Er Bao had remarried at that time, he was still very angry with Wang Gui Yue. He understood that the reason why Wang Gui Yue was so cruel was because he had no money and no ability. When Xu Xiao Jiao said this, he had a stomach full of anger and wanted to find success.

He asked Xu Xiao Jiao where he could go. Xu Xiao Jiao pondered for a while. The south was too far and the people there were more unrestrained thoughts. Wang Er Bao had never traveled far, so it wasn't safe. She suggested going to the provincial city of the province.

With the economy opening up, the provincial city had the greatest development opportunities. Various factories and enterprises were engaged in construction. As long as Wang Er Bao worked hard and put in effort, he won’t do badly.

At that time, in order to prevent him from being deceived, Xu Xiao Jiao wrote a special pamphlet. It collected some common deception techniques for him as well as training him on interview skills. When Wang Er Bao came to the provincial city, he also specially called Xu Xiao Jiao with the telephone a good few times.

It wasn't until he found a job and settled down that he gradually lost contact with Xu Xiao Jiao.

That’s why Wang Er Bao was so surprised when he saw Xu Xiao Jiao today.

But hearing Wang Gui Yue's voice, Wang Er Bao lost his merry expression again.

Xu Xiao Jiao was right at the beginning. His vision was short-sighted. People like Wang Gui Yue weren't worthy of being a mother at all. Let her leave. As long as his life gets better and better, he won’t be the one regretting it in the end.

Though he understood the reasoning, it would be a lie to say he wasn’t mad when seeing that person again.

When he looked for Wang Gui Yue back then, he promised Wang Gui Yue that he would never find her again or talk about what happened between the two of them. He certainly didn't want to talk about it as they were all meaningless words. Saying it would only make his wife sad. Other than that there was no use.

Wang Er Bao stood up and took his wife Liang Xiao Liu with him, "Let's go, we won't eat here."

While pulling Liang Xiao Liu, he said to Xu Xiao Jiao, "If you aren’t leaving the next two days, I'll treat you to a meal tomorrow. Where are you staying?"

Liang Xiao Liu also knew Xu Xiao Jiao. She was as grateful as Wang Er Bao to Xu Xiao Jiao. When she saw her, she was also surprised.

"Elder Sister Xiao Jiao, why are you here in the provincial city? How wonderful. I haven't seen you for a while. Er Bao, why wait for tomorrow? I don't think they moved their chopsticks much at the table. Elder Sister Xiao Jiao certainly didn't eat well. Elder  Sister Xiao Jiao, you and Elder Brother Wei Ping come over and eat some more. We can chat while eating."

She had a fierce temperament. Back then she married Wang Er Bao because the Wang Family was well-off and Wang Er Bao was honest. She knew that Wang Er Bao had been married before and that his wife had run away. But she didn't care. She wanted to find an honest man. As long as he wasn’t lazy like her dad, it was fine.

Facts have proved that she had a good eyesight. Wang Er Bao was honest and hard-working. Except for the time when they first got married, where he was like a wood block, he gradually became more energetic later, when he came to the provincial city and found a job. He was also kind to her. In the past few months since the job was settled, Wang Er Bao had taken her to the provincial city a good few times. The two of them discussed that when the child was born, they would rent a house to live in the provincial city. The future would definitely get better and better.

These were all the contributions of Xu Xiao Jiao.

"Xiao Jiao, come over. Since you guys moved to town and I'm pregnant, it's not convenient for me to find you for a chat. Let's talk."

She married over from the next village. She only knew Xu Xiao Jiao and Song Wei Ping and could only speak to them at this time.

Wang Gui Yue glanced at Wang Er Bao and knew that he would not mention anything about the two of them. She took two deep breaths and put on a smile, "Then, you guys talk. Old Chen and I will leave first. Let's get together next time." .”

With that said, she pulled Chen You Jin's arm hard and motioned for him to stand up and leave quickly.

Chen You Jin was somewhat irked. He didn't understand what was up with his wife today. It was a good thing to meet her fellow educated youths. How nice it was to have a meal and chat together. Besides, he also understood that Song Wei Ping was someone with connections outside. If he could get some connections through him, his business would get better and better in the future.

He pulled Wang Gui Yue's hand away and invited Wang Er Bao with a smile, "Gui Yue, why are you leaving? From what I see, you two know each other when you went to the countryside? Since we all know each other, come over and sit down. Let’s eat together. I’ll order a few more dishes, Don’t be reserved. Let’s have it together.”

Liang Xiao Liu had noticed Wang Er Bao's face turned bad at the start and didn't understand why. But when she heard Chen You Jin's words and looked at Wang Gui Yue's pale face, she instantly understood everything.

"Gui Yue? Wang Gui Yue?"

She turned around and directed at Wang Er Bao, "Say, is she Wang Gui Yue?"

Seeing that Wang Er Bao didn't speak, how could she not understand.

"So you are Wang Gui Yue! You still have the nerve to stand here and talk."

She suddenly took a step forward. Wang Er Bao was so frightened that he quickly supported her, "Don't argue, don't argue. You are pregnant with a baby. Let's go."

Liang Xiao Liu slapped his hand off, "Go? Go where? You are so stubborn and blind. Do you still want to save face for her? You forgot the time when you were down,! Pah! My own man, so I’ll feel distress for him myself!"

As she spoke, she rolled up her sleeves, pointed at Wang Gui Yue and berated, "That man must be your new man. Ha, sure enough! You disdain the poor and love the rich? You even lied to our Er Bao about some fake divorce and whatever bringing him to the city! Pah!"

Wang Gui Yue's expression changed at once. She pulled Chen You Jin to leave, "Old Chen, Old Chen, let's leave quickly. She is talking nonsense. She is mentally ill."

"Wang Gui Yue!" Fury was written all over Wang Er Bao’s face, "What are you talking about! You are the one who was sick!"

Liang Xiao Liu supported her belly and looked at her, "Oh, I'm sick. You're really telling lies with your eyes open and turning right into wrong. That whatever surnamed Old Chen. Oh, yes, you. You are Wang Gui Yue's current match, right? You have to keep your eyes open. Your wife is the sick one. She got married and deceived the other party and turned the fake divorce into a real divorce."

"This is a minor illness. In order to return to the city, she even mercilessly aborted the baby she was pregnant with. Say, if this isn’t crazy, what is it? Wang Gui Yue, your the one who is heartless and crazy!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the whole restaurant fell silent.

"Oh, she looks like a decent person. Never thought she is this ruthless."

"Isn't this what people say, know one’s face but not their hearts? Choosing a woman like this is really eight lifetimes of bad luck."

"Pah, truly inhumane to abort the baby you are pregnant with."

"Such a woman should be beaten hard."

Although there weren't many people eating around, everyone who heard Liang Xiao Liu's words now had some thoughts in their hearts and began to whisper.

Xu Xiao Jiao snorted in her heart and leaned against Song Wei Ping.

Sure enough, evil will get their retribution. Wang Gui Yue must have thought that Chen You Jin would never know about this matter in this life, but fate liked to play jokes with people. She and Zhou Ping Xiang won't tell, but others will.

"Mamma mia." Ma Qun exclaimed in a low voice. Like he said, what kind of person was Xu Xiao Jiao? When had he ever seen her look coldly to others? Sure enough, this Wang Gui Yue was too much. No wonder.

He came close to Zhou Ping Xiang and whispered to her, "Xu Xiao Jiao is right, Ping Xiang, you are too kind. Silly girl."

Zhou Ping Xiang sighed and looked at Wang Gui Yue's guilty and mentally collapsing expression. She understood then that Wang Gui Yue had no bitter reason at all. She did it on purpose.

"Gui Yue, tell me, she, what she said is true?" Chen You Jin's voice was trembling.

Wang Gui Yue glared at Liang Xiao Liu before turning around and latching onto Chen You Jin, "Old Chen, Old Chen, listen to me, I have my own reasons. You don't know that Meilin Village. If I live there all my life, I will die. I was forced. That’s right, I was forced! I didn’t want to."

Chen You Jin waved her away. He never thought that the person by his side would be so cruel.

It’s so chilling.

Chen You Jin threw a few coins on the table and rushed out of the door. Wang Gui Yue watched his back, wiped her tears and turned around with hatred, "Xiao Jiao, Ping Xiang, are you happy now? You want to see me be penniless and abandoned?"

Before Xu Xiao Jiao and Zhou Ping Xiang spoke, Liang Xiao Liu burst out laughing, "Oh, Wang Gui Yue, how shameless do you think you are? Whose mind would revolve around you every day? Look at yourself and see if you are worthy or not. Let me tell you, don’t use them being intellectuals and not stooping to level. Let me tell you, it’s useless in front of me, Liang Xiao Liu!”

Wang Gui Yue's chest heaved and fell violently, "Wang Er Bao, look at her. She is such a bully?"

Wang Er Bao looked at her inexplicably, "You are indeed going too far. Besides, what Xiao Liu said is true."

"I never want to see you guys again!" Wang Gui Yue turned around and chased after Chen You Jin.

Liang Xiao Liu sighed, "We don't want to see you again either!"

With a 'Pfft' sound, Xu Xiao Jiao burst out laughing. She looked at Liang Xiao Liu and said, "That mouth of yours is formidable."

Liang Xiao Liu went over and hooked Xu Xiao Jiao's arm, "Elder Sister Xiao Jiao, you are also angry, right? But I know that you aren’t paying her any heed. Hmph, I can't bear it. I can't stand how she treated our Er Bao. After such a cruel thing, she is enjoying life and living so well."

Xu Xiao Jiao wasn’t enduring, just too lazy to watch the chaos. Anyway, "As long as one has done it, others will know about it sooner or later."

The dislikeable people were gone and the remaining ones were all good friends. Zhou Ping Xiang and Wang Er Bao also knew each other. They all became familiar with each other as soon as they were introduced.

After the atmosphere calmed down, they got another table and sat down to reminisce about old times.

Perhaps his horizons have really been broadened and experiencing the anger just now, Wang Er Bao’s emotion no longer fluctuated at thought about his marriage to Wang Gui Yue.

He jollily asked Song Wei Ping, "Elder Brother Wei Ping, do you have any matters to do on this trip to the provincial city? If you need my help, just ask. I have stayed here for a good few months and traveled to many places with our directors. I also know some news.”

Of course Song Wei Ping wouldn't be reserved with him. The few male comrades sat together and talked about what Song Wei Ping wanted to do.

The female comrades also sat together and concentrated on eating.

Liang Xiao Liu was really dependent on Xu Xiao Jiao. Seeing Wang Er Bao being able to help, she was delighted. She expressed her gratitude to Xu Xiao Jiao in a low voice, "Elder Sister Xiao Jiao, if you hadn't pointed the way to Er Bao at that time, he would still be farming in Meilin Village now. How could he be the person he is today?"

Xu Xiao Jiao didn't think she had much credit, "I only some things to him. It’s Er Bao who can endure hardships on his own. He came to the provincial city alone and must have endured hardships and grievances. Still, he was able to persevere. "

She praised Liang Xiao Liu, "You have good eyesight. You also encouraged Er Bao to come out. Look at now, you are enjoying the blessing."

Liang Xiao Liu grinned happily, "Anyway, it's because of you, Elder Sister Xiao Jiao. Tell Elder Brother Wei Ping that if Er Bao’s help is needed in any way, just say it directly. Our Er Bao has now become a formal employee. Oh, he is honest man. Wasn't he a temporary worker before? Then there was a fire in their factory. Putting his life on line, he put out the fire. It’s said he saved machines worth tens of thousands. So the factory director made him a full-time employee. Not only did his salary increase, the director values him very much. He knows a lot of people now. He might be able to help if there’s any matter."

As soon as the words were finished, Ma Qun on the other side slapped his thighs, "Isn't this a coincidence?"

This matter was really a coincidence.

It turned out that the state-owned factory that Song Wei Ping was looking for was the factory where Wang Er Bao currently worked. What a coincidence, the current factory integration and the private cooperative sales of materials were presided over by Wang Er Bao's current director. Wang Er Bao followed him every day for the matter too.

Everything went incredibly smoothly.

When sending Xu Xiao Jiao and Song Wei Ping off, Ma Qun watched the train go away and couldn't help but sigh, "I'm a little envious of Song Wei Ping. Why is his life so good?"

He originally thought that it was business with no road to, but his wife opened the way and it was settled in one step. Say, what kind of luck was this?

Zhou Ping Xiang was happy for the two of them, "This is what goes around, comes around. Look at Xiao Jiao. She is pretty, has a good personality, and is willing to help people. Back in Meilin Village, there is no one who didn't like her. Look, she helped Wang Er Bao and now received good pay back. If not, Song Wei Ping would have tossed around again."

Ma Qun nodded, "Tsk, evil will be rewarded with retribution. You don't know. When Wei Ping and I went to discuss business, we happened to meet that Chen You Jin. Oh, he also got in. And the result? Who told him to marry such a wife.  I wonder what Wang Er Bao told his leader since Chen You Jin was driven away without even entering the office."

"Song Wei Ping, on the other hand, had received two thousand yuan worth of goods. It will be shipped to the south. It won’t be a problem to earn double the amount. I think Song Wei Ping will soon become a ten thousand yuan household."

He had an envious expression. He went along with Song Wei Ping  to discuss business a good few times this time and his knowledge increased greatly. He was eager to try it and wanted to start his own business.

Zhou Ping Xiang glanced at him, "Your heart is moved?"

"En, it is. Ping Xiang, what do you think about me testing the water too?"

Zhou Ping Xiang walked back slowly with him, "Not much. I don't support it. Just set up a night stall. Xiao Jiao had already told me to advise you to put your studies first. Knowledge is the most valuable. I believe her. you’d better believe her too.”

She added, "When the educated youth were able to return to the city, she persuaded Gui Yue to steadily follow Wang Er Bao and in the future, she could enter the city. Now Liang Xiao Liu is follow him into the city. Look at Gui Yue’s fate.”

Ma Qun pondered for a while and sighed, "Those who don't believe her will suffer a loss, so I believe her too."

On the train, Xu Xiao Jiao, who had fun for a few days, had completely forgotten about Wang Gui Yue. They booked a sleeper train. There weren't many people. Xu Xiao Jiao lazily leaned on Song Wei Ping as she played games.

"Song Wei Ping, have I made great contribution again this time?"

Song Wei Ping nodded. She had contributed a lot to the success of the business.

"It's all your credit. What reward do you want?" He opened his mouth.

Xu Xiao Jiao pondered for a while, "As for the reward, I haven't thought of it yet. Wait until we get to the south."

Song Wei Ping nodded and told his plan, "When ywe get there, you first accompany me to meet the boss I worked with last time. His name is Qian Hai Long. He is a very upright person. He gave us the news this time and we have already come to an agreement that if we obtain it, give it to him first. Once the goods are mostly shipped, I will take you out to have fun first, and then see if there are any other business opportunities. When we go back, we will bring back a batch of goods."

Xu Xiao Jiao completely agreed with his words, "Okay".

Then she turned to stare at him, "Hey, Song Wei Ping, you stayed there for so long last time, there's no shameful thoughts right? Hmph, this time I'm going too, so you better hide it well and don't let me find out."

Song Wei Ping was extremely calm, "How is that possible?"

Not long after saying this, Xu Xiao Jiao accompanied Song Wei Ping to meet Qian Hai Long. As soon as they greeted, a young and beautiful girl in her late teens couldn't wait to come over.

"Brother Wei Ping, you are finally here."

Xu Xiao Jiao instantly narrowed her eyes.

Brother! Wei! Ping!
