At fifty, she remarried into a wealthy family; her ex-husband knelt down and begged for reconciliati

Chapter 175 A Mess

They stayed home with the air conditioning on, while He Qiaoyun braved the scorching sun to look at grapes with people at the supermarket.

After accompanying them on a tour and checking that there were no problems, the group stood under the shade of a tree by the roadside to discuss the follow-up matters.

"We'll follow the same time and order as last time. We'll send a truck at the same time tomorrow morning. You can bring your people and get ready. This is the last batch of fruit. Once we've finished harvesting, we'll transfer the final payment to you as soon as possible."

He Qiaoyun smiled and nodded, "Okay."

"Then I wish us a successful completion."

“It was done successfully.”

They had already talked to the first two groups, so this was just a formality. It was too hot, and they didn't want to stay any longer, so they said goodbye.

He Qiaoyun waved to them, "See you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow."

Watching their car leave, He Qiaoyun wiped the thin layer of sweat from her forehead and got into her car to go home.

After all that fuss, it was already three o'clock.

When the three people and the dog in the family saw her return, they all stood up and said, "You're back."

She changed her shoes. "Yeah, I came back after we finished talking."

Before Liu Biao could ask, Feng Jiashu asked, "Is everything going smoothly?"

Liu Biao, having been interrupted, had to close his mouth, his face full of displeasure.

He Qiaoyun smiled and said, "Yes, it went very smoothly. Next, we'll contact some helpers and go to pick fruit first thing tomorrow morning."

Feng Jiashu asked again, "Is this the last batch? After you finish, can you finally take a good rest?"

At this point, He Qiaoyun's expression relaxed a bit. "Yes, I'm pretty much done with the work. However, there's still some maintenance to do, but none of it is particularly difficult."

Compared to finding sales channels during the ripening period, maintenance is just a matter of watering.

Seeing them all sitting there, she asked Liu Biao, "Didn't you say you were going fishing?"

Liu Biao pointed to the sky outside, "Going fishing with this clock is a death sentence."

He Qiaoyun: "Then you can go later."

Liu Biao waved his hand, "I'm not fishing anymore, I'll be going home later."

Feng Jiashu also said, "Yes, I'll go back together later. I have to go to work tomorrow, and Tian Tian has to go to school too."

He Qiaoyun glanced at the time again. "It's getting late. By the way, has the watermelon been cut yet? I'll go cut it."

As she spoke, she went into the kitchen, and Liu Biao immediately got up and followed her.

When He Qiaoyun saw him following her, she shooed him out: "I'm not disabled, I can cut watermelons, you can go outside and wait."

Liu Biao leaned against the side with his arms crossed, saying, "Go ahead and do whatever you want. I'm not going to take your job. I just don't want to be with Feng Jiashu."

He Qiaoyun chuckled, "Nonsense."

Liu Biao snorted and stopped mentioning him, changing the subject, "By the way, Qiaoyun, do you have any plans for National Day?"

His words made He Qiaoyun pause in her dagger-wielding hand, momentarily at a loss for words as to how to tell him that she was going on a trip with Feng Jiashu.

Liu Biao asked in confusion, "What's wrong? Why aren't you saying anything?"

He Qiaoyun snapped out of her reverie and forced a smile. "Nothing much planned. I'll probably be busy with things in the village."

Liu Biao: "The harvest is finished, what else is there to do? It's National Day, a holiday for the whole country to celebrate, so just let yourself rest."

He Qiaoyun didn't answer, but asked instead, "What about you? Do you have any plans?"

Liu Biao suddenly said with great enthusiasm, "Let's go out and have some fun, see the beautiful landscapes of our motherland, shall we go together?"

He Qiaoyun's smile froze, then she shook her head blankly. "No, go by yourself. Have fun."

Liu Biao: "No way, what's the point of me going alone? Let's go together. I'll charter the plane, hotel, and transportation, and even the food. You just need to bring your luggage and your companion."

Looking into his sincere eyes, He Qiaoyun felt a jumble of emotions. She hesitated to cut the watermelon, and after cutting it for a long time, she didn't even suffer a minor cut.

Seeing that she hadn't spoken for a long time, Liu Biao asked, "What are you thinking about?"

She looked away in a fluster, "No, I wasn't thinking about anything."

Liu Biao said, "And what's your answer?"

He Qiaoyun: "What, what answer?"

Liu Biao laughed, "Of course you're coming out to play with me, are you coming or not?"

He Qiaoyun fiddled with the knife handle with her fingers. "I...I'll think about it."

Liu Biao's smile remained unchanged. "Okay, think about it." Seeing her in a daze, he reached out to her for a knife. "I'll cut it."

She blankly handed over the knife, saying, "Oh, thank you for your hard work."

Liu Biao took the knife and skillfully began slicing the watermelon. "We're practically family, don't keep saying thank you or how hard you've worked, it's too formal."

Before long, evenly sliced ​​watermelons were placed on a plate.

He put down the knife and said, "Take it out first."

He Qiaoyun nodded blankly, carried the watermelon out of the kitchen, and Liu Biao, as if it were his own home, conscientiously washed the cutting board and knife and put them away.

In the living room, Feng Jiashu noticed that He Qiaoyun seemed lost in thought ever since she came out of the kitchen, holding a watermelon for a long time without taking a bite. He said, "Why aren't you eating?"

He Qiaoyun immediately snapped out of her daze and forced a smile, "Oh, eat."

As she spoke, she took a bite, forgetting to spit out the seeds, and swallowed them along with the melon flesh.

Liu Biao glanced at her, silently picked up a slice of watermelon, removed the seeds, and handed it to her, saying, "Eat this."

He Qiaoyun noticed that she hadn't finished eating her food yet, and said, "Leave it for now."

Liu Biao placed the melon in front of her, saying, "Okay, I'll put it here for you."

Feng Jiashu seemed to understand the subtle tension between them, but remained silent.

Tian Tian couldn't understand the undercurrents between the adults. She happily watched cartoons and ate watermelon while holding her sleeping puppy.

It was almost four o'clock when he stood up and said, "It's getting late."

He Qiaoyun also stood up, "Wait a minute, I just picked some grapes and longans."

As she spoke, she went outside, took a small basket of fruit from the van, and put it in his car.

"There's nothing much I can give you, just some fruit."

Feng Jiashu smiled and said, "I'm already very satisfied just to have met you."

Upon hearing this, Liu Biao's face showed disgust and revulsion.

Feng Jiashu then asked Liu Biao, "Shall we go back together? It'll be good to have company on the way."

Liu Biao responded with a blank "Okay, I'll go back."

He Qiaoyun brought out another basket of fruit and handed it to Liu Biao, saying, "This is yours."

Liu Biao immediately beamed with joy, "So you prepared something for me too."

He Qiaoyun smiled faintly, "Everything is there, nothing is a wasted trip."

Liu Biao said the same thing as Feng Jiashu: "Being able to talk to you and go shopping together makes this trip worthwhile."

He Qiaoyun maintained her smile, but her words implied that she wanted to urge them to leave, "It's getting late, you should go back soon, otherwise it won't be good if you get stuck in traffic during rush hour when you get back to the city."

Liu Biao: "Okay."

Tian Tian hugged the puppy reluctantly, saying, "Aunt He, remember to come find me when you're done with your work."

He Qiaoyun smiled and said, "Okay, definitely." Then she helped her into the back seat of the car.

Feng Jiashu also said goodbye to her, "Then I'll go back first, see you on National Day."

He Qiaoyun nodded gently, "Okay."

Liu Biao, who was putting fruit in the trunk of his car, overheard this. He remained calm and walked over as if nothing had happened. He said goodbye to He Qiaoyun, "Then I'll head back now. If you need anything, just give me a call."

He Qiaoyun nodded. "Okay."

Tian Tian got into the car and waved to her through the window, "Goodbye, Aunt He."

He Qiaoyun smiled and waved: "Goodbye."
