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

After the house was cleaned, Aunt Jiang's second aunt came over to call us for dinner.

Gao Qinghe invited Huang Yanqiu to go with her, but she declined.

"I'm not going. I'll go to the county town to buy some food and then go back to the village. Xue'er must miss her mother."

"Yueyue!" Huang Yanqiu came into the yard and waved. Jiang Qiyue, who was playing with her cousins, immediately ran over to her aunt.

Huang Yanqiu patted her little head, "Go back and play with your aunt and Xue'er tomorrow."

I couldn't resist giving this adorable little rascal another kiss.

Jiang Qiyue knew that her aunt was doing this because she liked her, so she returned the kiss before going back to play wildly with her older brothers and sisters.

"Wait a minute!"

Gao Qinghe called out to Huang Yanqiu, ran back into the house, and handed her half of the tea eggs she had just bought.

Huang Yanqiu asked in surprise, "You ran into Ouyang Yan?"

Gao Qinghe nodded, indicating that she shouldn't be polite and should take it back for the child to eat.

"Don't leave it out, it won't taste good overnight."

Gao Qinghe gave him some words of advice out of concern.

Huang Yanqiu's lips twitched: "Thank you."

Holding the tea egg, he waved and left with an air of nonchalance.

Gao Qinghe gave one of the remaining tea eggs to each of the children in the courtyard, and took any left over to her second aunt's house. Since there were so many people, they were all gone in no time.

At the dinner table, the men of the Jiang family discussed the date for tomb sweeping. Jiang Baohai said that he and his wife would go back to her parents' home tomorrow.

Uncle Jiang and Uncle Jiang San were surprised to say that their Jiang family also planned to go to sweep the tombs tomorrow.

Before Jiang Baohai could explain anything, Uncle Jiang made the decision to postpone the Jiang family's tomb-sweeping day by one day, setting it for the day after tomorrow.

After returning home from dinner, Qi Lianxin clicked her tongue in amazement:

“Your eldest uncle and third uncle have become better now. Before, once a date was set, they would never change it no matter what.”

Who would have thought that this time they would actually offer to postpone it by one day.

In the past, Qi Lianxin would never have dared to even think about this.

Jiang Baohai and Gao Qinghe chuckled to themselves, thinking, "How can this be considered a change for the better?"
Now she and Jiang Baohai have more say.

It's just that Qi Lianxin didn't have the chance to live to this point in her previous life, so she didn't get to see it.

In the future, the Jiang family branches will only be more obedient, kinder, and more caring towards their nephew's family than they are now.

"Mom," Gao Qinghe patted her mother-in-law's shoulder, "Just you wait and see. Once you become rich and powerful, you'll be surrounded by good people."

Qi Lianxin didn't believe it. Was there really no bad person at all?
There are definitely bad people, but there are far more good people.

As dusk fell, Fang Xiaoyu finally drove his car over.

Whether it was intentional or coincidental, he was driving the very same red Xiali that Jiang Baohai had driven back then.

Six years have passed, and the paint has long since faded, and the seats inside are no longer the same color as before.

But this car is of such high quality that it's still in service.

Fang Xiaoyu said, "Drive with confidence. You can drive anywhere on the country roads without worry. I've already made my money back."

The gas tank was full; Fang Xiaoyu was as meticulous as ever in handling matters.

Gao Qinghe asked him, "Are you planning to move to the provincial capital to develop your career?"

Fang Xiaoyu scratched his head and chuckled, neither saying he wouldn't go nor saying he would, then laughed it off and fled as if he were escaping.

Jiang Baohai whispered in his wife's ear, "My wife and kids are all here. My sister-in-law still has a stable job. He's just a henpecked husband; he can't live without his wife."

Gao Qinghe glanced at him sideways, "He's a henpecked husband, what about you?"

Jiang Baohai smiled dangerously and whispered in her ear, "I am whatever you want me to be."

After saying that, she grabbed her pajamas, gave Gao Qinghe a meaningful and alluring look, and went to take a shower.

Jiang Qiyue played wildly all afternoon, and when her energy was completely depleted, she came to find her parents.

The little guy skillfully climbed onto the big bed, settled himself in the middle, and was about to lie down.

Suddenly, a pair of large hands appeared, catching her under her armpits and lifting her off the bed, placing her in the next room. Looking at her grandmother's familiar face, Jiang Qiyue blinked her large eyes, full of confusion.

But sleepiness came over her, and her little head couldn't think too much. She closed her eyes and fell fast asleep.

Qi Lianxin: "."

Get out of bed quickly and close the door to avoid hearing anything you shouldn't and disturbing your sleep.

At the moment of utter exhaustion, all Gao Qinghe could hear were men lewdly calling him their dog.

She regretted it a little; why did she have to provoke this shameless old man who was capable of anything?

Fortunately, the couple remembered that they were going back to the village to sweep the tombs the next day, and they refrained from attending a second event.

This year, only Gao Qinghe's family of three, along with her grandmother and father, were present at the tomb-sweeping ceremony.

Huang Ying is too busy with her project to come.

Gao Qingmiao was too busy with her shop to come.

Gao Qingya is still in school, and she only has one day off for Qingming Festival, so she probably won't be able to make it.

However, Grandma Tian was still very happy to have Gao Qinghe's family around.

We had prepared all sorts of delicious food long ago. Once the granddaughter's family arrived, we would sweep the tombs in the morning and have a barbecue in the countryside in the afternoon.

The Zheng family's tomb was nearby, and Huang Yanqiu brought her daughter over after smelling the fragrance.

Now that Zheng Laowu is a father, he's become much more mature. He's a skilled cook and even came over to grill meat for Jiang Qiyue and Xue'er.

The two little girls ate with their mouths full of oil, and kept saying they wanted to continue tomorrow.

The children's innocent words amused the adults.

After sweeping the tombs, Gao Qinghe rested at home for a night before returning to Zhao Village with a trunk full of local goods prepared by her grandmother and father.

The Jiang family's graves are nearby, so the women are responsible for preparing the offerings and don't need to go to the graves themselves.

Gao Qinghe was happy to relax and spent the day at home playing with her daughter.

The next morning, he carried his bags and took the train back to the provincial capital.

The short holiday ended, and the family's life returned to normal.

Qi Lianxin and Grandpa Wang's relationship is getting better and better, but the two decided not to get a marriage certificate or live together, so as to avoid any future disputes among their children.

Since they live in the same neighborhood, they eat at Gao Qinghe's house, and only go home to sleep at night. It's no different from living together with someone who has a marriage certificate.

Distance makes the heart grow fonder, and in fact, it can strengthen a relationship.

However, when Wang Xin returned from abroad during the summer vacation, he remembered to bring gifts for Gao Qinghe's family.

It's clear they treat this place like family.

Since the other party is generous, Gao Qinghe will certainly not be stingy.

As soon as the holiday started, I took Jiang Qiyue and Wang Xin's son to the amusement park for three days of fun.

Then came a series of shopping sprees; whatever his daughter had, Wang Xin's son also got a share.

Within two days, the two children were calling each other brother and sister affectionately.

Gao Qinghe was surprised to find that with her brother taking care of her, her daughter no longer bothered her.

Give them a drawing board, and the two of them can sit on the mats laid out on the balcony and play by themselves all morning.

With Grandpa Wang and Qi Lianxin keeping an eye on her, Gao Qinghe found herself suddenly becoming an idle person.

Well, if you have nothing else to do, take a look at the financial reports of your subordinate companies.

Gao Qinghe specially tidied up the study and took out the materials that she had left in the filing cabinet to gather dust.

I made myself another cup of instant coffee, put on my gold-rimmed glasses which were purely decorative, and sat down in the boss's chair.

The atmosphere was perfect, and we were just about to turn the page.

The phone next to me rang.

Gao Qinghe was furious!
Damn it, who's ruining the mood?! (End of Chapter)
