Chapter 258 That’s Too Cheap for Him
Soon, as the sun rose from the east, the old ladies in the courtyard went out to buy groceries, some washed clothes gathered around the pool in the middle courtyard to wash clothes, and some sat at their doorsteps, sewing shoe soles.

Just like Jia Zhang, her favorite thing to do after dinner is to move a small stool and sit at the door of her house, paying attention to what is happening in the yard while sewing the soles of her shoes.

This way, she could satisfy her inner gossip and let people know that she was not a freeloader, even though she often didn't sew a single sole for a week or so.

However, today her mind was basically on the delicious leftovers from yesterday's meal. She kept cursing Qin Huairu in her heart for being useless. She went to Lao Li's house to return the bowl but couldn't bring back any meat for her.

As she was cursing, she saw a tall and handsome figure suddenly walk into the front yard, and her eyes lit up instantly.

Then, the wrinkles on her face suddenly came together, revealing a slightly flattering smile, "Hey! Qiangzi, where are you going? I heard that you made some honey lemon tea yesterday. When can you make some for us neighbors to try?"

"Well, sure, when I open the beverage factory, I'll invite everyone to come over and show their support."

Li Guoqiang was delighted when he heard this, then he laughed and spoke politely.

As he spoke, he kept walking and soon turned into the backyard.

When Jia Zhang heard Li Guoqiang's perfunctory response, her expression suddenly became somewhat ugly. Then, when Li Guoqiang entered the backyard, she could not help but curse in a low voice: "You are such a bastard, you were born by a mother but not raised by her. You just had some shitty luck and managed to run a bee farm. What's so great about it?

That's because our Bang Geng didn't go to the north. If he had gone there, what role would a bastard like you have?

Now you still have the nerve to say you want to open a beverage factory? In my opinion, it's a wonder you can succeed!

Moreover, the best thing is to be in debt and be forced by the production team to pick up cow dung for the rest of your life."

Speaking of this, she thought of Li Guoqiang who would have to carry a basket to pick up cow dung every day and make himself stink, and she couldn't help feeling happy in her heart, which was quite like an Ah Q tactic.

Little did they know that with Li Guoqiang's abilities, even if the sky fell, he would not go to pick up cow dung, but would only go to pick flowers.

"you"

Qin Jingru opened the door and saw Li Guoqiang who came uninvited. She glared slightly, then asked with surprise, "Why are you here?"

After asking, she didn't wait for Li Guoqiang to answer, and wanted to reach out and pull Li Guoqiang into the house.

However, Li Guoqiang dodged immediately and whispered, "Don't mess around. Go get me the bowl first. I'll wait for you in the grove in half an hour."

"Oh!"

Qin Jingru was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted. She turned around and hurriedly went back into the house and took the bowl that Li Guoqiang had brought over last night and returned it to Li Guoqiang.

Li Guoqiang took the bowl, turned around and left without saying anything else.

At the same time, opposite Xu Damao's house, Second Aunt saw Li Guoqiang taking the bowl and leaving through the crack in the door. A look of realization appeared on her face. Then she stared at Li Guoqiang's back and said a few sour words, and didn't think about it anymore.

After all, everyone in the courtyard knew about the conflict between the Li family and Xu Damao, so they never thought that Li Guoqiang and Qin Jingru would get together.

Speaking of which, we should thank Qin Jingru for always loving beauty and being very proud of it. Otherwise, if people saw Qin Jingru going out and suddenly becoming very young and beautiful, they might really have some bad associations.

Not long after, in the small woods, between the two big rocks, a burst of "Ah Aah Aah" cat's meow suddenly sounded, which made people feel itchy. The sound did not stop until the sun rose to the middle of the sky.

At this time, when the camera was zoomed in, Qin Jingru was seen pressed against the stone wall with sweat on her face, her two apple cheeks were flushed. A ray of sunlight shone on her body, giving off a layer of white luster, which made people feel a little dazzled.

Li Guoqiang stood aside, looking at the gurgling water in the middle of the stone wall with admiration.

After a while, Qin Jingru suddenly glanced at Li Guoqiang with a hint of anger in her eyes, as if blaming Li Guoqiang for opening the spring so big that the ground was covered with water stains.

【Blame me! 】

Seeing this, Li Guoqiang couldn't help rolling his eyes. Then he took out a towel from his pocket, wiped the water droplets on his hands, and then handed it to Qin Jingru, motioning her to wipe it quickly.

When Qin Jingru saw Li Guoqiang's attitude, she couldn't help feeling helpless for a moment, then silently reached out to take the towel, turned around and gently wiped the water marks.

After she had cleaned up, Li Guoqiang had already quietly slipped into his little world and instantly gave himself a deep cleansing to remove some of the salty and fishy smells to avoid returning late and causing people to notice something was wrong.

Then he moved a few stones and put them aside, and asked Qin Jingru to sit down and talk.

As soon as Qin Jingru sat down, her brows suddenly frowned, and she seemed a little uncomfortable.

"What's the matter?"

Seeing this, Li Guoqiang hurriedly asked.

"fine!"

Qin Jingru heard this and immediately shook her head awkwardly and said, "I just suddenly felt a little empty. I'm not used to it. It should be fine in a few days."

"Oh~"

When Li Guoqiang heard Qin Jingru's answer, he suddenly understood something.

Afterwards, he hesitated for a moment, and asked doubtfully, "Well, Xu Damao hasn't come back yet?"

"no!"

Qin Jingru shook her head and said softly, "Before, he accidentally let two pigs run away, so the commune punished him to pick up manure. He didn't have a day off, so naturally he had no time to come back."

At this point, she turned her head to look at Li Guoqiang, then continued nervously: "However, I have visited him several times before. After all, I am his wife, and it would be unreasonable for me not to visit him all the time."

"fine!"

Li Guoqiang waved his hand, and then said generously: "Go ahead if you want to! Next time you go to see him, you can tell him about my situation and let him know how well I am doing now."

"you"

Qin Jingru was slightly stunned, then said with a smile: "You are too mean, aren't you?"

She could imagine how angry Xu Damao would be if he knew that Li Guoqiang was not only commended by the old man, but also returned to the city to set up an office on behalf of the production brigade and was even going to open a honey lemon tea factory!
"There's nothing I can do. If a man isn't bad, women won't love him!"

Li Guoqiang raised his eyebrows, then laughed and spoke.

"Ah!"

Qin Jingru was delighted, and then said with a hint of resentment: "Just keep talking nonsense!"

After saying that, she looked at Li Guoqiang's face, which was so handsome that it was beyond description, and suddenly couldn't help asking, "Well, how about I divorce him? I'll give you my little lover in the future!"

"Don't!" Li Guoqiang refused without thinking, "You must not divorce him. If you divorce him, it will be too easy for him!"

You know, Xu Damao almost destroyed his family. How could he let Xu Damao off so easily?

If Qin Jingru and Xu Damao divorced, it would be equivalent to giving Xu Damao a legitimate opportunity to find a new love.

And if Qin Jingru had always been Xu Damao's wife, he would be able to support Qin Jingru secretly and control Xu Damao very strictly, so that Xu Damao would completely bid farewell to his previous romantic and free life.

I guess that would make Xu Damao feel more painful than death, right?
"That"

Qin Jingru hesitated for a moment, then asked worriedly, "What if he wants me to? I'm already yours now, and I don't want to have anything to do with him anymore!"

"It's easy!"

Li Guoqiang smiled slightly, then leaned close to Qin Jingru's ear and whispered something.

"what?"

Qin Jingru's eyes widened when she heard this, and then she asked in astonishment, "How do you know he can't have children?"

"Don't worry about this!"

Li Guoqiang shook his head, then said softly: "Anyway, you just need to know that I won't lie to you."

"No wonder!"

Qin Jingru came to her senses and thought about how she had been married to Xu Damao for so many years but had never been able to conceive a child. She was so angry that she gnashed her teeth.

Then, just as she was about to curse a few words, she suddenly remembered that she had asked Qin Huairu to issue a false certificate. She felt a little caught in a dilemma and asked hurriedly:
"If I expose his infertility, won't he know that I lied to him?"

"What?"

Li Guoqiang raised his eyebrows, then laughed and asked, "You just said you wanted to divorce him, are you still afraid that he would know about this?"

"Yes!"

Qin Jingru reacted immediately after hearing this, and a relaxed smile appeared on her face.

Now, since she no longer wants to follow Xu Damao, she naturally doesn't have to worry about being abandoned by Xu Damao.

Moreover, based on her understanding of Li Guoqiang, she knew that Li Guoqiang would definitely have the ability to find a good job for her.

At that time, even if she really divorced Xu Damao, she would not be driven back to the countryside because she had no job.

"okay!"

Li Guoqiang saw that Qin Jingru had completely understood what he meant, so he waved his hand and said, "It's getting late now, let's go back quickly!"

After saying that, he reached out and pulled Qin Jingru to stand up, then he walked out of the woods while playing with the big millstone, which made Qin Jingru scold him for a while.

Soon after, they separated outside the woods, one went towards the courtyard and the other went towards the bus stop.

Taking advantage of this free time, Li Guoqiang wanted to go to the industrial and commercial department to inquire about setting up an office and opening a beverage factory.

Soon, he took a bus to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau in Dongcheng District, and then found the relevant person in charge with the letter of introduction issued by the Jinshanbao Production Brigade.

The other person was a bald middle-aged man with a big belly named Xu Guiqing.

He first carefully read the letter of introduction provided by Li Guoqiang, and then asked with a little surprise: "Can't your production team sell honey locally? Why do you have to open an office in Sijiu City?"

"Chief Xu, this is what happened!"

Upon hearing this, Li Guoqiang quickly replied: "You should know that our Agricultural Science Academy in Sijiu City has the largest number of the best agricultural experts in the country.

The reason why our production brigade wants to open an office in Sijiucheng is not only to sell honey at a higher price so that the villagers can get more income, but most importantly, we hope to find some experts from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences to guide us in beekeeping techniques and run the apiary better and better.

In addition, if possible, our production team also hopes to open a food processing factory in Sijiucheng to make honey into honey lemon tea, just like Beibingyang soda, to enrich the drinks of the masses and contribute to the development of the country. "

"Food processing plants?"

After listening to this, Xu Guiqing's eyes widened slightly, as if he was frightened by what Li Guoqiang said.

You know, these days we only hear about people from the city going to the communes below to open factories, but we have never heard of any production brigade actually thinking of going to the city to open a factory.

Moreover, as far as I can remember, those production teams barely made much money throughout the year, so how could they possibly have the money to open a food processing factory?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel annoyed, and then he asked with a sullen face: "Little comrade, are you kidding me?"

"How can this be possible!"

Seeing this, Li Guoqiang was not panicked at all. He smiled and replied, then took out the certificate awarded by the old man from his pocket and gently placed it in front of Xu Guiqing.

Xu Guiqing looked down, his pupils shrank suddenly, then he forced a smile and complained, "Oh! Little comrade, why didn't you take this out earlier? I almost misunderstood you!

Since the elders have praised your bee farm, we should strongly support your development. "

"Yes Yes Yes!"

Hearing this, Li Guoqiang nodded hurriedly and said, "I didn't think it through. I apologize to you. Please be magnanimous and don't bother with me, a little comrade!"

"okay!"

Seeing Li Guoqiang's sincere attitude, Xu Guiqing felt embarrassed to continue to argue, so he quickly waved his hand and said, "Everyone makes mistakes sometimes, you don't have to blame yourself so much.

Now tell me what your food factory is thinking, and I will help you figure out how to go about this procedure."

"Ok!"

Li Guoqiang nodded and agreed, then sat on a chair and told Xu Guiqing about his plan to open a small workshop similar to a winery and then hire people to sell the products on the streets.

After listening to this, Xu Guiqing couldn't help but feel confused for a moment, not knowing whether he should support or oppose it.
