Chapter 122: Borrowing the Cart

In the blink of an eye, it was the end of May. The fruits and vegetables of Shuangshui Village were sent to the Hongqi Supply and Marketing Cooperative batch by batch.

The people in the county ate seasonal vegetables again and were extremely happy.

This day, Su Qingyue was having a meeting with Xiang Jianming, wanting to sell the factory's special products like dried bean curd and bean paste to other places, such as several neighboring counties.

"Why don't we send someone to Yang County to scout the situation before making a decision?" Su Qingyue supported her belly. She was about to give birth, and her belly looked very big.

Xiang Jianming thought for a long time, "Why don't we send a man to Yang County? Shi'an and Shishui, who do you think should go?"

Su Qingyue was about to give birth, so Su Qingwu definitely couldn't leave. It could only be one of his two sons.

"Father, I'd better go, Big Brother stay in the factory to help."

Finally, Xiang Shishui discussed the details with everyone and decided to set off from Shuangshui Village to Yang County tomorrow.

"Alright, everything in the factory has been very smooth recently. With Shishui leaving, there will be even fewer main management personnel, so we still need to recruit a small team leader."

Su Qingyue pondered, "This person must be able to take root in the village for a long time and cannot leave halfway. After all, our factory has to keep running, so the management personnel shouldn't be changed frequently."

Xiang Jianming nodded, "Then I'll post a recruitment notice today, preliminarily screen from those with many work points in the village, and then we'll decide internally?"

Su Qingyue smiled, "Okay, let's arrange it like that."

Kong Shan sent Su Qingyue home. Just as they arrived at the door, Pei Huaimei hurried out to receive them.

"Thank you, Sister Kong."

Pei Huaimei took good care of Su Qingyue, helped her into the house, and the two puppies gathered around Su Qingyue.

"They really have grown up. Now they are as tall as me when they stand up."

"Isn't that right? They can watch the door now, good dogs."

Su Qingyue was waiting to give birth, and she missed Pei Huaiye a bit. She didn't know how he was doing recently, and if he was also missing her.

"Huaimei, remember to go to the post office in two days to ask if there's any letter for me when you go to the county?"

Pei Huaimei's eyes curved, "Got it, sister-in-law, let's eat."

For the past two days, Su Qianqian had been so angry she couldn't eat.

"Why can't you sign up?"

Su Qianqian screamed in disbelief, "You are educated and can drive, you fully meet the recruitment conditions for a small team leader!"

Shen Xunbao was originally a teacher at the village school, but one teacher had to teach four or five subjects, and the salary wasn't high, so he discussed with Su Qianqian about signing up to be a small team leader at the Qingyue Processing Factory.

Directing people to work every day wasn't tiring, and he had time to take care of the family.

Su Qianqian also felt warm after hearing this, and the two of them went to Xiang Jianming to sign up, but didn't expect to be rejected.

Su Qianqian slapped the table in anger, "I'll go find Auntie Ding tomorrow. Su Qingyue is too much, even blocking you on this."

Qiao Wang sighed, "But my work points are indeed not enough. If you go to say it, you won't be reasonable at all."

Su Qianqian choked, "Su Qingyue just knows this point, so she deliberately used work points to block you!"

Qiao Wang slammed the enamel bowl on the table, "I heard that a small team leader's salary is almost thirty yuan a month. Think about how much money Su Qingyue must have a month, and this number is just a small amount!"

The Qingyue Processing Factory was thriving, and many people envied those who worked inside. This time, many people vied to sign up for the small team leader position.

Su Qianqian's eyes turned red with jealousy, and she said viciously: "If Su Qingyue hadn't taken advantage of my life, she wouldn't have lived such a good life so easily!"

Wah!

The child woke up. Su Qianqian went to the inner room to see the child, "Don't cry, don't cry, Mom is here."

As soon as Su Qianqian held the child, she felt something was wrong. She shouted at the main room, "Shen Xunbao, come quickly! The child seems to have a fever!"

"Let me see!"

Qiao Wang touched the child's head, and it was indeed very hot, "We must go to the health center immediately!"

Su Qianqian was so anxious she almost cried, "I'll go find Captain Xiang to pull the bull cart, you hold the child well!"

She cried all the way to the brigade office. Many people on the road heard the child had a fever and were anxious with her.

"No need to find the brigade captain, just go find Su Qingyue, she has a bull cart in her courtyard!"

Su Qianqian turned a corner upon hearing this, "Sister Wang, help me borrow the bull cart, I'll still go find Captain Xiang to drive the bull cart."

Wang Juqin ran to Su Qingyue's courtyard. She patted the door and called, but no one answered inside.

Pei Huaimei had supported Su Qingyue to Old Madam Song's house to eat cold noodles.

Wang Juqin could only hear the dog barking, but didn't see anyone open the door, "Qingyue, Su Qianqian's child is sick, need to use the bull cart!"

Still no one answered inside.

"Gousheng, tell Auntie Qian that no one is at home at Auntie Su's house, Mom will go find someone else."

Li Gousheng nodded and ran to the brigade in one breath.

Su Qianqian brought Captain Xiang to Su Qingyue's house, "Captain, sorry to trouble you to drive the cart."

"Easy to say, easy to say, let's go, let's go quickly!"

"Auntie Qian, the bull cart wasn't borrowed, Auntie Su didn't open the door." Li Gousheng ran out of breath, his face flushed red. He swallowed his saliva nervously and said this sentence in public.

Su Qianqian's face sank immediately.

Xiang Jianming was stunned, "Child, speak properly, is Qingyue not at home or is she at home and didn't open the door?"

Li Gousheng's face was full of sweat, "Anyway, she didn't open the door. My mom knocked on the door for a long time, and only heard the dog barking."

Su Qingyue took two puppies with her wherever she went on weekdays. Now that she could hear the dog barking and still didn't open the door, this was obvious.

Clearly, she didn't want to lend the bull cart to Su Qianqian!

Xiang Jianming shouted at Kong Shan, "Go see if Huaimei and Qingyue are at home? Did they go out for a stroll?"

Su Qianqian sneered and said sarcastically in public: "I didn't expect Su Qingyue to be like this, at a critical moment she wouldn't even lend the bull cart to me!"

"Su Qianqian, now is not the time to be angry. I'll find a few people to borrow a cart from the neighboring village. You and Educated Youth Shen hold the child and walk toward the county, we'll catch up from behind!"

There was no other way. Su Qianqian wiped her eyes and went back to hold the child.

Qiao Wang learned that Su Qingyue didn't want to lend the bull cart and was so angry his eyes turned red. He had only treated the previous matter as a quarrel between women and didn't take it to heart.

But this time, he really hated Su Qingyue.

"Let's go! From now on, we are at odds with Su Qingyue!"

Xiang Jianming went to the Su family and looked for a long time, called people, and only got a response from two dogs, confirming that Su Qingyue and Huaimei were not at home.

Kong Shan clapped her hands, "Sigh, Su Qianqian misunderstood today's matter. Su Qingyue really wasn't at home. Searched a circle, didn't see her and Huaimei."

Xiang Jianming wiped his sweat, "Go back and tell everyone that Qingyue wasn't at home, don't let people chew their tongues again. The village needs to build a health center, otherwise it's inconvenient to see a doctor."

Kong Shan said yes, and helped Xiang Jianming clarify all the way.

But some villagers still didn't believe it.

Everyone was a parent. In the early years, there were many who couldn't raise their children and died of illness, so they could empathize with Su Qianqian.

Now seeing Xiang Jianming in such a hurry to help Su Qingyue clarify, they believed even more that Su Qingyue was hiding at home and didn't want to lend the bull cart to Su Qianqian. ===== CHAPTER 123 =====
