Jiang Wanrou left Cheng You's place in disgrace, her face dark on the way back.
Just because she had a little money, she had to be so smug.
But without Cheng You's help, life had to go on.
Jiang Wanrou had no choice but to go to Qin Jianzhong, to see if there was any work she could do here.
After much persuasion, Qin Jianzhong reluctantly assigned her a relatively easy task.
Cheng Tao witnessed this scene and sneered.
"Cousin, you have so much money, and your family is so rich, yet you still live such a hard life."
Jiang Wanrou's face darkened. This taunt felt like a stab to her heart, cruelly gouging out a piece of flesh.
She even began to doubt her choices.
Was it wrong to marry Yuan He and cut ties with her family?
"Tsk tsk, truly pitiful."
Jiang Wanrou angrily dropped the item in her hand, "I'm pitiful, but how are you any better?"
Cheng Tao chuckled, "So, I have a way now that can make both of us live better. Do you want to hear it?"
Jiang Wanrou was skeptical.
Having come this far, with her own family and husband unreliable, she no longer trusted anyone.
However, she still wanted to hear what Cheng Tao had to say.
"What way?"
"Do you know what Cheng You uses to make money?"
Jiang Wanrou was momentarily stunned.
"Selling medicine."
"Yes, with her medicine, can one make money?"
Jiang Wanrou shook her head. She thought of stealing medicine, which was illegal.
"Don't even think about it. My relationship with Cheng You is not good now. I can't even get into her house, let alone get close to those medicines."
There were only a few people working in the pharmacy, and none of them were fools.
What benefit would betraying Cheng You bring them?
Cheng Tao egged her on with all her might, "Having a bad relationship is only temporary. As long as you are sincere, you can definitely mend it. You divorce Yuan He and go back to your parents' home to admit your mistakes. It's a small matter."
"Cheng Tao, do you take me for a fool? How could I possibly divorce Yuan He!"
She was still hoping Yuan He would take her back to the city.
"It's not like you're really divorcing him, just a fake divorce. Once you've made money, you can be with whoever you want, no one will stop you."
Although Cheng Tao had bad intentions, Jiang Wanrou was still tempted.
Her current difficulty was lack of money.
But if she returned to her parents' home, she would have money.
...
That night, Jiang Wanrou had a big fight with Yuan He.
The next day, she came back crying, saying she was going to get a divorce.
When she returned, she heard that they had already obtained their divorce certificates.
A marriage of less than a year ended in failure.
Yuan He returned to the educated youth point, and life went on as usual.
Jiang Wanrou, on the other hand, returned to her parents' home. It was said that she knelt at the door admitting her mistakes for a good half of the day before Old Man Jiang allowed her in.
It was reasonable and understandable for the Old Jiang family to forgive Jiang Wanrou, Cheng You could accept that.
After all, Jiang Wanrou was the only daughter of her second aunt, whom she had doted on for many years.
What Cheng You found strange was that Jiang Wanrou would admit her mistakes.
She was actually willing to part with Yuan He, the educated youth. Hadn't she always boasted about wanting to be a city person?
Cheng You didn't think too much about it. It had nothing to do with her anyway.
Compared to Jiang Wanrou, she was more concerned about the opening of "Zhou Zhou Barbecue."
Zhao Jianguo attached great importance to this barbecue restaurant. The location he found was close to the supply and marketing cooperative, with a large flow of people.
From renting the place to renovation and opening, he personally oversaw every step.
When he was just setting up a stall, no one was optimistic about him. No one expected him to reach this point.
Wang Hongxia now treated this son like her own. On the opening day, she was beaming and personally greeted customers.
Cheng You watched her act as the proprietress and glanced at Zhou Yunru.
"You're not worried about her acting like this?"
Zhou Yunru laughed, "What's there to be worried about? If she wants to do it, let her. Anyway, I'm keeping the accounts for the shop, and the money is in my hands."
Wang Hongxia acting like this now was simply trying to get some money from Zhao Jianguo to help Zhao Yunlin.
Once she realized she couldn't get any money from Zhao Jianguo, she would naturally quiet down.
What mother-son affection! Zhao Jianguo was a man in his twenties. It was too late to play the role now.
Cheng You said, "As long as you know what you're doing, and you handle things here, I don't need to worry about anything else. I'll be heading back now."
She hadn't intended to stay for too long anyway.
The business on the opening day was quite good.
Zhao Jianguo had also hired a young apprentice to help him. The person at the front desk receiving payments was Zhou Yunru's maternal uncle. They were all trustworthy people anyway.
Cheng You rode her bicycle home. Halfway there, she encountered Jiang Dingcheng.
"Uncle, are you looking for me?"
"Yes, I wanted to go to Wujing Village, but I didn't expect to meet you here."
Judging by his expression, he seemed a little anxious.
"Uncle, shall we talk when we get home?"
Jiang Dingcheng shook his head, "No, it's just a few words. You know, Jiang Wanrou had a divorce and came home. Her coming back is one thing, but now she's begging your second aunt, saying she wants to come here to work and earn money. She's been causing trouble every day, making the family restless."
No one in the Old Jiang family had agreed, but the old man was not in good health and couldn't stand Jiang Wanrou's incessant nagging.
Jiang Dingcheng had no choice but to play the villain.
Even if Cheng You refused, he would have no objections.
Cheng You thought it was a major issue, but it turned out to be this.
So, Jiang Wanrou's entire performance, the divorce, the apology, was all for the purpose of coming to her.
She knew it. How could Jiang Wanrou easily break up with Yuan He? She definitely had an agenda.
"Uncle, this is a small matter. If she wants to come, let her come. But you have to tell my second aunt to send Jiang Wanrou to me. How to discipline her is my business."
Jiang Dingcheng quickly said, "Of course. This matter should not have troubled you in the first place. It is my fault for troubling you."
Everyone in the family knew that Jiang Wanrou was a troublemaker, yet they dumped this trouble on Cheng You.
Cheng You was even younger than Jiang Wanrou. Why should she clean up her mess?
The more Jiang Dingcheng thought about it, the more he felt sorry for Cheng You.
"Uncle, if you say this, it's meaningless. There's nothing to be sorry about, and I don't feel forced. Just let her come. However, I don't have a place for her to stay here. She'll have to commute daily, and there will be no salary initially. She'll have to wait until she gets the hang of it."
"Okay, okay, I'll tell her these things. Whether she agrees or not is up to her."
Cheng You was also curious. These conditions were quite harsh. Given Jiang Wanrou's personality, she would definitely not agree.
To everyone's surprise, she actually agreed.
This showed that her purpose was extraordinary.
After thinking it over, Cheng You felt she needed to find someone to keep an eye on her.
So, she approached Zhao Lifang.
"You want me to keep an eye on your cousin? Make me the head spy?"
Cheng You said, "You're the only spy, so it's fine if you want to appoint yourself as the head spy."
