The tycoon's wicked wife from the era of literature has been reborn.

Ouyang Yan, who had long since developed a thick skin, suddenly couldn't utter a single word.

The older woman selling horse-shaped pastries nearby looked over suspiciously, then her eyes widened in amazement at the woman standing in front of the tea egg stall, leaving her speechless.

"I'll take all the remaining tea eggs."

Gao Qinghe pointed to the large pot of well-cooked, dark brown tea eggs in front of her and asked, "How much are they all?"

Ouyang Yan took a deep breath, as if just realizing something, and reminded her:

"There's so much, can you finish it all by yourself? It won't taste good the next day."

Gao Qinghe smiled, her eyes crinkling, instantly softening her aloofness that made her seem much more approachable.

"There are so many relatives in the family, it's not enough to go around," she joked.

Ouyang Yan couldn't help but look at her a few more times. The woman in front of her seemed to be exactly how she looked when she first met her.

So many years have passed, and time seems to have left no trace on her.

Even that calm and strong heart has never changed.

Ouyang Yan sighed enviously and asked curiously, "Are you doing well in the provincial capital?"

Gao Qinghe nodded: "Of course."

She generously twirled around in front of her, smiling as she said, "Isn't my condition quite obvious?"

"And you? I see your business is doing very well. I was thinking of coming over to say hello, but I didn't get a chance."

Gao Qinghe shrugged, looking helpless, as if to say, "I've wanted to come for a long time, but so many guests are blocking my way."

Ouyang Yan couldn't help but feel a little dazed. Sure enough, any expression a good-looking person makes will make people feel sorry for them.

She complimented her, "Your outfit is really beautiful. You must only find this kind of thing in the provincial capital!"

Gao Qinghe nodded again, "It's in my brother and future sister-in-law's shop. It's designed by young people themselves. When you go to the provincial capital in the future, I'll take you to check it out."

Seeing the sly glint in her eyes, Ouyang Yan couldn't help but laugh.

What should I do to take her shopping?
They clearly wanted to do business with her and get her to take money out of her wallet.

but
What does "future sister-in-law" mean?

Gao Qinghe put her hands on her hips and shook her head in disdain. "It means it's not like that now, but it's highly likely it will be in the future."

She does want to have another sister-in-law soon, so she can get free design fees for her personalized service.

Unfortunately, Gao Qingmiao is a disappointment!
When Ouyang Yan saw Gao Qinghe's disgusted look, a tall, big figure flashed into her mind, who was always running around behind her sister.

As an only child, she was quite envious of them.

But she's doing quite well now.

Ouyang Yan asked Gao Qinghe again to confirm: "You want all the rest? Twenty-six, okay?"

Gao Qinghe waved her hand generously, signaling her to stop talking nonsense.

He gestured with his chin toward the exit, indicating that his family was waiting and he needed to hurry.

Ouyang Yan looked over and saw a beautiful little girl with short hair, dressed in children's sportswear and sneakers, circling around her tall and handsome father.

She would occasionally tiptoe and look over at her mother.

Noticing the stall owner was watching her, she gave her a shy smile and continued to circle between her father's legs.

"Your daughter is so lively," Ouyang Yan said enviously.

Gao Qinghe smiled indulgently, "You're so lively it gives me a headache."

It was inconvenient to carry so many tea eggs in an oil paper bag, so Ouyang Yan rummaged around and found a relatively large enamel bowl. She put all twenty-six tea eggs together, then put them in a cloth bag and handed it to Gao Qinghe.

During the installation, she smiled faintly and said, "My daughter has changed her name. Now she's called Ouyang Xi, the 'Xi' in 'hope.' My mother retired early and now helps me take care of the child every day, picking her up and dropping her off at kindergarten. That's why I have so much time to do my small business."

"I used to think it was easy for you and your brother to sell clothes at a stall, but it turns out it's not easy at all. But I'm getting used to it now." "Oh, by the way, I heard Hao Huaping and Zhou Zhenghua went to the provincial capital. Have you seen them?"

Ouyang Yan usually doesn't mention these two names, and her family members even less so, for fear of upsetting her.

She thought that if she brought it up now, she wouldn't have any emotional reaction.

Unexpectedly, his tone still carried a hint of resentment, hoping that neither of them would have a good ending.

Moreover, Ouyang Yan felt something was off about revealing her stingy side in front of Gao Qinghe.

But for some reason, I felt that she would definitely bring me the news I wanted to hear.

As a result, he looked very awkward.

Gao Qinghe didn't care. She took the tea egg from Ouyang Yan, paid her, and casually mentioned the couple's experience in the provincial capital.

Ouyang Yan stared wide-eyed in surprise, "You just did that to them in front of everyone?"

Gao Qinghe responded with an "Mmm," and asked her in return, "What's wrong with that? I didn't make things up or embellish anything; it was all based on the facts."

Ouyang Yan was dumbfounded and couldn't help but secretly give Gao Qinghe a thumbs up as she left.

All I can do is admire them.

"Gao Qinghe!"

The family of four had just stepped out of the train station when they heard a roar.

They all looked up and saw Huang Yanqiu wearing a baseball cap, sitting on the hood of a red taxi, angrily pointing her finger at something in the air.

"I've told you hundreds of times to come and wait for me, well, the train's been gone for half an hour now, and you've finally decided to get off the train!"

Upon seeing Gao Qinghe, Huang Yanqiu immediately began to berate him.

However, within these curses, there seemed to be more resentment from the long wait.

Gao Qinghe said with a laugh, "Then why don't you leave if you don't want to wait?"

Patting her daughter, Jiang Qiyue immediately opened her arms and rushed enthusiastically towards her aunt.

Amidst the sweet, crisp calls of "Auntie," Huang Yanqiu's maternal instincts were awakened. She picked up the little one and kissed his tender little face repeatedly.

"Our Yueyue is so good. She still remembers her aunt after all this time, unlike your mother, who is never on time."

"Still talking!" Gao Qinghe was feeling guilty after all, so she smiled ingratiatingly and gestured for her to quickly open the trunk so she could put the luggage in.

"Brother-in-law, Auntie." Huang Yanqiu greeted them politely, then carried Jiang Qiyue around to the back of the car and opened the trunk.

Jiang Baohai asked with concern, "Where are Xiao Zheng and Xue'er?"

Huang Yanqiu glared at Gao Qinghe. "Look at her, at least she knows how to care about her mother, husband, and daughter. What about you?"

Gao Qinghe raised her hand slightly, as if to say, "Believe it or not, I'll slap you!"

Huang Yanqiu, clinging to Jiang Qiyue as her "get-out-of-jail-free card," wasn't afraid of her at all, explaining:

“I sent the father and daughter back to the village yesterday. I’m going back this afternoon. His mother said we’ll be sweeping the graves tomorrow. What about you? Are you going back to the village today? Why don’t you come back with me?”

Jiang Baohai glanced at his sulking wife and found it amusing.

The two cousins ​​together are like a hot iron thrown into a pool of cold water—they boil over.

"Grandma also said that we'll go to sweep the tombs tomorrow, so we'll go back first thing tomorrow morning. I've asked someone to bring the truck from the mine over."

Gao Qinghe also said, "We'll go to the old house first. It's been uninhabited for a long time, so we need to tidy it up."

He gave Huang Yanqiu a look that said, "With all your strength, stay here and do the work."
Huang Yanqiu understood her gaze and just wanted to beat her to death.

But after delivering the person to the old house, they stayed behind without complaint. (End of Chapter)
