At fifty, she remarried into a wealthy family; her ex-husband knelt down and begged for reconciliati

Chapter 54 Reconciliation

After the onlookers relayed the information, they were basically certain that the person who destroyed the greenhouse was He Gui.

"Is it really necessary to do this just to make money, destroying someone's perfectly good greenhouse?"

"That's right. The key point is that Qiaoyun didn't do anything wrong. I was picking lychees in her orchard when she was busy with all the work so that their Dragon Boat Festival gift boxes could be delivered on time. She barely ate any food all day and was so tired that she almost fainted."

"These people are truly ungrateful. They eat from the bowl and then curse the cook. They have no shame."

For a moment, everyone was pointing fingers at He Gui.

However, some people who disliked He Qiaoyun made a sarcastic remark, "It takes two to tango. Ultimately, this is all because He Qiaoyun and He Ping had a conflict. They couldn't do anything about it."

Those who were helping in He Qiaoyun's orchard immediately retorted: "Just because you can't do anything, you can tear down someone's greenhouse? You're all petty men, holding onto a single sentence for so long."

The man's face flushed red. "I can't argue with you..."

Faced with so many accusations, He Gui was embarrassed, but he was unwilling to admit his mistake. He said to He Qiaoyun in a very weak manner, "That's enough. We didn't damage your greenhouse."

The village secretary pulled He Qiaoyun aside and pleaded, "Qiaoyun, please be lenient. You made him look bad in front of the whole village this time. He'll definitely remember this. If he goes to the police station, who knows how much trouble he'll cause you in the future? You two should just calm down, okay?"

He Qiaoyun pondered for a moment, then turned to look at Feng Jiashu, "What do you think?"

The village secretary then noticed Feng Jiashu, and his eyes immediately lit up, "Feng..."

Before he could finish speaking, Feng Jiashu gave him a wink and gently shook his head.

The village secretary stopped talking. He Qiaoyun saw Feng Jiashu shaking his head and asked in confusion, "What do you mean?"

Feng Jiashu looked at her and said, "Follow your heart. Do whatever you want, because it is your freedom and your right as a victim."

He will support whatever choice she makes and help her as much as possible.

Upon hearing this, the village secretary's expression became somewhat complicated. "No, you..."

He Qiaoyun's anger had subsided considerably by now, and she didn't want things to get too tense. Otherwise, given the nature of He Gui and his family, she would have a lot to suffer in the future. Having established her image as someone not to be trifled with, this was about the end of it.

“Okay, let’s settle, but I have two conditions,” she said.

The secretary finally smiled and said, "Okay, of course, go and talk to him."

He Qiaoyun walked to the front of the crowd and said, "I agree to the settlement."

The troublemakers and He Gui all breathed a sigh of relief. Huang Juanjuan muttered under her breath, "At least she knew what was good for her..."

“But I have two conditions,” He Qiaoyun added.

"What are the conditions?" someone asked.

He Qiaoyun said, "First, you have to restore my greenhouse to its original state."

"Of course, don't worry, we'll make sure it's done for you."

He Qiaoyun said, "Secondly, I want He Gui to clarify two things and apologize to me."

Before He Gui could speak, she interrupted, "The first thing is that I didn't sign any dual contracts with those companies and factories to cheat everyone out of their money when it came to the Dragon Boat Festival lychee gift boxes. You can check if you don't believe me. The second thing is that you didn't get any supermarket orders from Sunshine Rose, which has no necessary connection to the Dragon Boat Festival lychee gift boxes. We're all adults. It was your choice to work with me on the Dragon Boat Festival lychee gift boxes. I didn't force you. Don't make money and then turn around and bite me. I'm also wronged."

His voice was firm and resounding, and his logic was clear.

As soon as he finished speaking, Feng Jiashu unconsciously clapped his hands, and immediately a burst of enthusiastic applause followed.

This made He Gui even more embarrassed.

Seeing that He Gui remained unmoved, the village chief urged, "Hurry up and apologize! Do you want to be arrested and thrown in jail...?"

He Gui said somewhat reluctantly in a voice only he could hear, "Yes, you didn't sign a dual contract, and it was our own order for the Dragon Boat Festival gift boxes. I'm sorry."

He Qiaoyun looked at him and said calmly, "What are you saying? I didn't hear you."

A group of onlookers, eager for a good show, egged them on: "That's right, didn't you hear that? If you're a man, speak up and show some sincerity."

Huang Juanjuan wanted to speak up for her husband, but her voice was drowned out by the jeering crowd.

He Gui stared at He Qiaoyun, his displeasure showing in his eyes, but he had to pretend to be serious. "Let me clarify here: First, you, He Qiaoyun, did not sign a dual contract. Second, it was our own decision to make the Dragon Boat Festival lychee gift boxes and not receive the supermarket order from Sunshine Rose. We are sorry."

He Qiaoyun's smile widened. "Everyone heard that, right? Rumors stop with the wise."

Immediately, applause erupted again, and someone shouted, "Village Secretary, please say something!"

The village secretary stood in the middle of the crowd with a smile and said in a fair and serious tone, "Let me say a few words. This incident should serve as a warning to everyone. From now on, we must abide by the law, help each other, love each other, and create a better home together."

"it is good!"

Applause erupted from the crowd once again.

Seeing this seemingly happy scene, He Ping felt somewhat displeased, because this whole affair was caused by him. Everyone knew it was his pettiness that had led to all this trouble...

The matter was resolved, the two police officers left after completing their task, and the crowd dispersed.

He Gui and Huang Juanjuan glared at He Qiaoyun, then went to set up the greenhouse for her while cursing. The other farmers awkwardly went up to He Qiaoyun to apologize.

He Qiaoyun showed no emotion, simply uttered an "Mm," and then left.

Feng Jiashu asked, "Aren't you going to watch them build it?"

“It’s too hot, and I’m like this today, so they won’t dare not do it properly, don’t worry,” she said. “If they really don’t do it properly, I’ll cause them more trouble.”

Feng Jiashu smiled and gentlemanly opened the passenger door, saying, "You look very dashing today."

He Qiaoyun gave a helpless laugh, "Stop teasing me. I wouldn't have done this if I hadn't been pushed to the limit. Did I scare you?"

Feng Jiashu shook his head. "Of course not."

"That's good."

The two returned home, and Xia Jie, who was inside with the children, saw the car drive into the yard and rushed out, asking, "How did it go?"

He Qiaoyun got out of the car. "It's all taken care of."

Sister Xia asked, "How was it resolved?"

He Qiaoyun said, "It was resolved by calling the police."

Sister Xia was startled, her eyes widening in surprise. "The police?! They really called the police!"

He Qiaoyun nodded, "Of course, if you can't solve something, you should call the police. Someone has to uphold justice for me."

Sister Xia pressed on, "What happened to that person? Was he arrested?"

“I originally wanted to teach He Gui a lesson,” He Qiaoyun shrugged, “but I thought better of it. If he’s detained for five days, he’ll hate me for the rest of his life, and who knows what he might do in the future. So I decided to reconcile with them. Besides, my greenhouse isn’t damaged; they’re in the field taking it back for me.”

Xia Jie's emotions were going through a rollercoaster ride. She patted her chest and said, "You scared me to death. Luckily, you're alright."

He Qiaoyun's mentality is that anyone who offends her will die, while Sister Xia's mentality is to take a step back and be tolerant in everything.

The two of them can get along so well; they really complement each other.

"Since everything's alright, I'll head back now," Sister Xia said goodbye.

He Qiaoyun nodded, "Thank you, and thank you for looking after the child."

Sister Xia glanced into the room and said with a smile, "The little girl is quiet and easy to manage, but... you're going to be her stepmother, aren't you?"

He Qiaoyun quickly denied it, "No, that's not true. It's a long story, I'll tell you later. I have to go in and cook."

"Okay, go ahead and get busy."
