"Miss Fan, are you sure you want to sell all of them now? The price of gold has been rising all the way. Holding on to it will definitely bring greater profits."
Fan Juan's partner was trying to persuade her not to sell the gold in her hands.
"I'm also very reluctant, but my visa is about to expire, and I have to return to my motherland. So I've decided to sell all the gold in my hands. Compared with others, we're partners, so you have the priority. That's why I'm telling you first."
"Miss Fan, why don't you choose to stay? You have very good judgment, and our cooperation has been very pleasant. I can help you figure something out."
The man's eyes were full of affection.
"Everyone has their own aspirations. My family is still waiting for me."
Fan Juan rejected the man.
"In that case, I can only wish you well. If you ever regret it in the future, you can call me."
The man didn't try to force down the price. After all, the price of gold was rising every day, and there were too many people eyeing it covetously.
Fan Juan got the money. After remitting it, she heaved a sigh of relief. Damn man, pretending like that. Did he think she didn't know his dirty thoughts? He already had a fiancée but still said he'd help her. He just wanted her to be his mistress.
Next, Fan Juan packed up her things and waited for Qin Nian.
When they entered the airport and went through the security check, their luggage was rummaged through thoroughly. The suitcases were even broken, and they were asked to undergo a body search. It was obviously targeted.
"You yellow - skinned people don't think you can take away any of our things."
Qin Nian and Fan Juan took off the ornaments on their ears. Seeing these people going too far, especially the male security guard trying to lay hands on them, they also stood up bravely.
"Fine, I won't leave then. I don't believe that with my teacher's name, I can't deal with you. If I stay, none of you will have a good time."
Qin Nian stared coldly at the security guard.
"I know Gerald. His phone number is ******. You can call him."
Fan Juan tossed her long hair, her eyes equally cold.
"Oh, there must be some misunderstanding. It's the policy from above, and they're just following the rules. We apologize for offending you two ladies. You're fine. You can go through."
After a while, someone finally came out to smooth things over.
It wasn't until Qin Nian and Fan Juan successfully boarded the plane that they secretly squeezed each other's hands to encourage one another.
The plane took off, and the roar was so loud that it hurt their ears.
In the family compound, Yang Yufen was looking at a row of muddy kids in front of her. Even the youngest, Little Baby, was in the same state, standing in the corner.
"You said you were going to catch cicadas. Now tell me, what's all this about?"
There were snails, shells on the ground, and eels, loaches, frogs, and some unknown fish in the buckets.
Yang Yufen always thought that only kids in the countryside liked to play in the mud and get dirty. Now, looking at these kids, Yang Yufen took another deep breath.
"Grandma Yang, we really were going to catch cicadas, but when we saw the loaches in the field, we went into the field. Uncle Wang said we could catch them, so we caught a lot. We took off our shoes before going into the field, so we weren't that dirty at first. But Little Baby slipped into the field when stepping on the ridge. Then I tried to pick up Little Baby. Li Wu caught a snake, which scared Wang Xing. Wang Xing lost his balance, and Li Wen was beside Wang Xing, so they all fell into the field and ended up like this."
As the oldest child, Hu Zhenghao explained what had happened.
Yang Yufen saw the dead snake hanging around Li Wu's neck.
"So you swaggered around like this and scared Yaoyao and Miaomiao to tears! Didn't you know to put that thing away properly?"
Hu Zhenghao quickly shook his head.
"No, we forgot at first. Then when Li Wu saw Yaoyao and Miaomiao, he suddenly remembered and excitedly ran over with the snake to show off. We couldn't stop him."
Next door, Wang Shuo was comforting his two daughters. Yaoyao, being a bit older, had already calmed down, but little Miaomiao was still crying so hard that she was hiccupping.
"You clean yourselves up. I'll deal with you later."
Yang Yufen put the delicious snacks in the house into her pocket and hurriedly went next door.
"Miaomiao, Yaoyao, Grandma Yang is here. Oh, my dear, stop crying. Later, Grandma Yang will beat those brothers for you. Come on, Grandma Yang has confiscated the brothers' snacks for our Miaomiao and Yaoyao."
"God - mother, the kids are fine. Don't worry about it."
Seeing Yang Yufen coming with things, Wang Shuo quickly said.
"The kids made a mistake, and it's just a punishment of some snacks. Come on, Yaoyao, help your sister hold these. Miaomiao, come here. Grandma Yang will carry you. Grandma Yang will take you to watch me beat the brothers."
Yang Yufen stuffed the things into Yaoyao's hands and then picked up Miaomiao.
Whether it was because she saw the delicious snacks or heard about beating the brothers, Miaomiao's crying became much more subdued.
Yang Yufen carried Miaomiao back home. Hu Zhenghao and the others had already moved the things to the kitchen and were washing themselves in the yard. They had obediently thrown their dirty clothes into the basin.
"Miaomiao, look. How about Grandma Yang using this bamboo stick to beat the brothers?"
Yang Yufen picked up a bamboo stick, and Miaomiao shook her head.
"Then let Miaomiao choose, okay?"
Looking at the child who had gradually stopped crying and was just sniffling, Yang Yufen finally felt relieved.
Miaomiao nodded. After being put down, she picked the thinnest one and gave it to Yang Yufen.
"Li Wu, come here and stretch out your hand."
Yang Yufen said seriously. Li Wu didn't dare to be slow and obediently walked over and stretched out his hand.
The bamboo stick hit the palm, and a red mark immediately appeared.
"Will you still act recklessly next time? Look at what you've done to scare your sister."
Li Wu looked at Miaomiao's red - and - swollen eyes and then at the thin bamboo stick in Grandma's hand.
"Sorry, little sister Miaomiao. I didn't know you were afraid of snakes. I won't scare you again."
Wang Shuo also came over. He was really afraid that his god - mother would really beat the child. Seeing that it was just an education, he didn't interfere.
It was a holiday for the kids today, and he had just come back from the south and was free. When he heard the kids wanted to catch cicadas, he took them to the experimental field of their agricultural research institute where there were a lot of cicadas. Yaoyao said she wanted to stay at home to help her mother correct homework, so Wang Shuo didn't take Yaoyao and Miaomiao with them. On the way, he saw some students with problems and went to help them. When he turned around, the kids were already muddy.
They had quite a harvest, so he brought the kids back. He really didn't notice the snake hanging around Li Wu's neck. This kid was really brave.
"Miaomiao, your brother has been punished and has apologized to you. Will you forgive your brother?"
Wang Shuo squatted beside his daughter, and Miaomiao nodded.
"Good girl, Miaomiao. Grandma Yang will cook delicious food for you tonight. You go back with your dad and have snacks with your sister, okay?"
Yang Yufen was relieved to see that Miaomiao had gotten out of the frightened state.
Miaomiao nodded and was carried back by Wang Shuo. The gentle smile on Yang Yufen's face disappeared immediately, and she quickly changed the small bamboo stick in her hand.
