Chapter 190 Inner Change
"Hadron, hadron!"

"Hey! Sister Shufen, why are you here?"

"Sister Yuping, is Qiangzi at home?"

"He's not at home, what do you want with him?"

"It's actually nothing!"

When Ma Shufen heard that Li Guoqiang was not at home, a look of disappointment flashed across her face, then she laughed and explained, "I heard that Qiangzi was going to start a bee farm, so I wanted to come over and ask about the situation. If the production is large, I can help introduce him to someone from our county supply and marketing company."

"That's it!"

Hearing this, Xu Yuping nodded thoughtfully and said, "Then I'll tell him when he comes back."

"to make!"

Ma Shufen nodded and agreed, then said goodbye, "Then I'll go back first."

After saying this, she twisted her slender and beautiful body and turned away.

Xu Yuping frowned slightly, and looked at Ma Shufen's back as she left, and couldn't help feeling a little worried.

As far as she knew, Ma Shufen's man was indeed the general manager of the county supply and marketing company, so it was reasonable for her to come to Li Guoqiang to talk about the apiary.

But her intuition as a woman told her that things here might not be that simple.

But, what if something happens?
Is it possible that she can still control Li Guoqiang?

Thinking about how Li Guoqiang had been treating her indifferently over the past two months, she couldn't help feeling a pang of bitterness in her heart.

Everything was fine originally, but because she and Qu Yinfeng were too greedy, things turned out like this.

Seeing that the rice, flour, grain, oil, chicken, duck, fish and meat stored at home had been almost eaten, she didn't see that Li Guoqiang had any intention of replenishing them.

Under such circumstances, how could she dare to interfere in the affairs of Li Guoqiang and Ma Shufen?
As she thought about it, her nose felt sore and her eyes were suddenly filled with tears. Then she quickly turned around, ran into the house, threw herself on the kang and let out a suppressed cry.

Seeing her like this, Qu Yinfeng, Zhu Caixia and Xu Dani were all stunned for a moment, then quickly turned off the radio and surrounded her.

"Girl, what's wrong with you?"

"Mom, mom, why are you crying suddenly?"

"Aunt, has someone bullied you? I'll go find my big brother and ask him to come back and help you!"

"do not want!"

When Xu Yuping heard that Xu Dani was going to find Li Guoqiang, she immediately sat up and grabbed Xu Dani's arm, and the tears that were still flowing were suddenly held back.

If Li Guoqiang knew that she cried because Ma Shuping came to see him, who knows what would happen!
"okay!"

Qu Yinfeng saw Xu Yuping's reaction and understood something. She waved her hand and said, "Xiaoxia, take Dani to the yard to feed the red deer first. I will talk to your mother in the house."

"Oh!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Caixia nodded anxiously and agreed, then pulled Xu Dani out.

"Tell me! What happened?"

After Zhu Caixia and Xu Dani left, Qu Yinfeng immediately asked in a deep voice.

Hearing the question, Xu Yuping hesitated for a moment, but finally told the truth: "Mom, Ma Shufen came to see Qiangzi just now and said she wanted to introduce him to someone from the county supply and marketing company."

"Is there still this?"

Qu Yinfeng was slightly stunned, then asked in confusion: "When did they become so close?"

"I do not know either!"

Xu Yuping shook her head, and then said with a sad face: "Ever since the last incident, Qiangzi has been a little lukewarm towards me, and he won't tell me anything even if there is something."

Hearing this, Qu Yinfeng's expression changed slightly, and she was speechless for a long time.

In fact, ever since Li Guoqiang caught her plotting behind her back last time, she couldn't eat or sleep well, and she often dreamed that Li Guoqiang would walk away, leaving her and her widowed family behind, forcing them to return to the hard life of eating coarse food.

Therefore, in the past two months, she has been serving Li Guoqiang very hard, hoping to improve their relationship.

But no matter how hard she tried, she was ultimately unable to successfully eliminate that slight grudge, and her relationship even became increasingly distant.

Under such circumstances, she knew that Li Guoqiang and they would part ways sooner or later.

By then, let alone continuing to live a life without worries about food and clothing, even whether you can avoid being bullied will become a problem.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help feeling a sense of regret in her heart.

If she had known it would be like this, she shouldn't have had any evil thoughts in the first place.

Unfortunately, it's too late to say anything now.

"Mom, do you think Qiangzi really doesn't want me anymore?"

Seeing that Qu Yinfeng had remained silent, Xu Yuping couldn't help but ask with some trepidation.

"this."

Qu Yinfeng opened her mouth, but for a moment she didn't know how to answer.

"Woo~"

Seeing this, Xu Yuping panicked and burst into tears.

Although she wanted to follow Li Guoqiang only because of life pressures at the beginning, but after spending such a long time together, she had already regarded Li Guoqiang as her man and her only support in this world.

If Li Guoqiang really doesn't want her anymore, then she really doesn't know what to do in the future?

"okay!"

When Qu Yinfeng heard Xu Yuping crying, she felt annoyed and couldn't help but scold her angrily, "Can you please stop crying? Even if he really doesn't want you anymore, what's the point of you crying here?"

"Instead of spending time crying, you might as well think about how to keep his heart!"

"I've thought about it. I've thought of many ways, but he never believes me. What can I do?"

Xu Yuping reached out to wipe away her tears, then began to cry with a choked voice.

"Ugh!"

Qu Yinfeng looked at Xu Yuping's helpless face and couldn't help but sigh. Then she said with a guilty look, "This is all my fault. If I hadn't been blinded by greed and given you those bad ideas, things wouldn't have turned out like this."

After hearing this, Xu Yuping did not say anything, but just silently reached out to wipe away her tears.

Obviously, in her opinion, this matter was indeed Qu Yinfeng's fault, but because Qu Yinfeng was her mother and was really thinking about her, she did not blame Qu Yinfeng. Seeing Xu Yuping like this, Qu Yinfeng naturally understood what Xu Yuping was thinking.

The expression on her face dimmed slightly, and then she was silent for a long time. Suddenly, she clenched her fists tightly and said in a trembling voice, "Or, Mom should just leave this house! As long as Mom leaves, Qiangzi won't have to worry about him anymore."

"How can this be done!"

Xu Yuping was stunned for a moment, then quickly objected: "Mom, please don't do anything stupid. If anything happens to you, I don't want to live anymore!"

"My silly girl!"

Qu Yinfeng's heart ached, and she choked up as she spoke: "Mom, I've lived enough in this life. You still have a long time to live. And if you leave, what will happen to Dani and Xiaoxia?"

"So you should just listen to your mother. Follow Qiangzi from now on and follow his lead in everything. I believe he won't abandon you."

"mom!"

Looking at Qu Yinfeng's sincere expression, Xu Yuping could not help but cry out in grief, then threw herself into Qu Yinfeng's arms and cried loudly.

After a while, she slowly stopped crying, raised her head and said with determination: "Mom, I've made up my mind. When Qiangzi comes back, I'll explain everything to him."

"If he really doesn't want me anymore, I won't bother him anymore."

"At worst, we can just rely on our own hands to support ourselves in the future. As long as we are willing to endure hardships, we will never starve to death."

"you"

When Qu Yinfeng heard what Xu Yuping said, her eyes widened, and she scolded angrily, "What are you crazy about?"

"You've finally got a good life now, how can you just give it up?"

"Besides, even if we are willing to endure hardships, without Qiangzi's support, won't we be bullied to death in the future?"

"If you don't think about yourself, you should at least think about Dani and Xiaoxia!"

"Do you want them to eat coarse food with you every day and not be able to hold their heads up high?"

"I"

Faced with Qu Yinfeng's series of questions, Xu Yuping was suddenly speechless.

As a widow who was kicked out of her home, she knew that what Qu Yinfeng said was right, and there was even the possibility of worse situations, such as being taken advantage of and having her entire family wiped out.

Thinking of these terrible consequences, she felt a little frightened in her heart, then she swallowed hard and asked with a bitter face, "Mom, what do you think we should do?"

Hearing this question, Qu Yinfeng frowned slightly, then lowered his head in silence.

In fact, she had thought of many ways during this period, but in the end, none of them helped.

Therefore, she was forced to suggest leaving the house.

However, she was not sure whether this method would work. In addition, Xu Yuping strongly opposed it, so she naturally could not choose this method anymore.

As she was thinking, she suddenly thought of something, and then she asked hesitantly, "Girl, why don't you wait for Qiangzi to come back and ask him what he really thinks?"

"After all, it's not a good idea for us to keep speculating like this, so we might as well just make things clear."

"At that time, as long as he can continue to stay in our house and help take care of our family, we can agree to whatever he asks for."

"This"

Xu Yuping was slightly stunned, then asked hesitantly, "Is this okay?"

"oops!"

Qu Yinfeng slapped her thigh with her hand, and then said unhappily, "Can you just ignore it for now? Just ask first. Anyway, the situation won't be any worse than it is now."

"That's okay!"

Xu Yuping thought for a while and felt that she couldn't think of any other solution, so she could only nod and agree.

Not long after, Li Guoqiang made preliminary arrangements for the apiary, then separated from Xu Guangfu, Li Xiuqin, Ma Guifang, Zhang Mei'e and others and returned home alone, preparing to take his tools and go to the small valley to start work after lunch.

When Xu Yuping saw Li Guoqiang coming back, she hurriedly fetched a basin of hot water and diligently washed his face, hands and feet, just like a servant girl in the old society.

Li Guoqiang looked at Xu Yuping's flattering expression and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

In fact, he didn't want to make things like this, but in order to prevent Xu Yuping and Qu Yinfeng from having any inappropriate thoughts, he had to put on a lukewarm attitude and remind Xu Yuping and Qu Yinfeng all the time.

He even planned to move to the wooden house at the apiary after it was built, and then come back to stay for a night from time to time to keep a safe distance as much as possible.

In this way, even if Qu Yinfeng and Xu Yuping wanted to tie him up, they would not be able to do anything to him.

However, since the most important thing now is to set up the apiary, he has not told Xu Yuping about this matter yet, so as to avoid any trouble.

Just when he thought Xu Yuping would wash his hands and feet and prepare food for him as usual, he saw Xu Yuping walk over to him with her head down and sit down, then she said softly, "Qiangzi, can I talk to you?"

"Talk? What to talk about?"

Li Guoqiang was slightly stunned, then asked with some confusion.

"I know!"

Xu Yuping took a deep breath, slowly raised her head and looked at Li Guoqiang, then said calmly, "You must still be blaming me and my mother for having thoughts that we shouldn't have had before."

"So you have been indifferent to us all this time, and you haven't even asked about family matters."

"I know, it was all our fault, so I don't blame you, but can you tell me what you really think?"

"If you don't want me anymore, then just say so. Don't leave me guessing all day."

"If this continues, I'm going to go crazy!"

When she said this, her heart ached and tears immediately fell from the corners of her eyes.

Seeing this, Li Guoqiang couldn't help but remain silent for a moment.

Especially when he thought about how Xu Yuping had been so humble in front of him during this period, he couldn't help but doubt whether he needed to be so cautious and harsh.

After all, Xu Yuping and Qu Yinfeng were just ordinary rural women, but he was not only a second-generation human being, but also possessed abilities beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Even if people knew about his affair with Xu Yuping, what would that matter?
At worst, he could just take Xu Yuping and others and his family and run away.

What's more, with his abilities and good reputation, unless he is caught on the spot, who would believe that he is a scumbag?
Thinking of this, and thinking about everything he had experienced after traveling through time, he suddenly felt a sense of inexplicable frustration in his heart.

Could it be that I am really going backwards as I grow older?
