Chapter 311

"Sis Jiaojiao, you have to help me." Xiao Tang grabbed Zhou Jiaojiao's arm and started sobbing.

Zhou Jiaojiao grew impatient with her crying.

What kind of help?

She had been in touch with Xiao Tang to monitor Bai Xiuxiu’s movements. Now that Bai Xiuxiu had moved to the provincial city, Xiao Tang was no longer useful to her.

Why should she bother helping?

Zhou Jiaojiao thought to herself, but her expression remained composed.

"Isn’t this Sis Tang? What's wrong with you? Let’s talk this through calmly. Why the tears?"

Xiao Tang’s loud sobs drew the attention of those around them.

After a moment, Xiao Tang began to curse Bai Xiuxiu. "It’s all because of Bai Xiuxiu! She’s a real nuisance who just won’t quit. This morning, she came to transfer her grain quota, and I just retorted a bit. Now Director Wang has transferred me to the commune.

How is that fair? What did I do to deserve this?

Xiao Tang was so furious she wished she could drag Bai Xiuxiu over for a showdown.

Upon hearing it involved Bai Xiuxiu, Zhou Jiaojiao immediately reconsidered ignoring it.

"How could it be your fault? I know my sister-in-law all too well. She’s lazy and vicious. The diligence you saw was all an act to impress Director Wang.

Look at her now, the further she gets, the more she dares to lecture you openly.

It’s unfair that someone like her has such good luck."

Zhou Jiaojiao angrily joined Xiao Tang in badmouthing Bai Xiuxiu.

Xiao Tang’s expression darkened. "If I’m not doing well, I don’t want her to have it easy either. I..."

"Xiao Tang, don’t be rash. If nothing else, do it for yourself. The most you can do is write a complaint letter, but you lack evidence. I suggest you first find the people she offended before.

She made quite a few enemies during her time at the community office.

Only if they join forces will it be effective."

Zhou Jiaojiao kept inciting, hoping Xiao Tang would take up the task.

Xiao Tang was frustrated. "What good would that do? Bai Xiuxiu is too clever. Every time she mediates a situation, she records everything on paper and submits it to the Director. There are records on Director Wang's side. If we really complained about Bai Xiuxiu, wouldn’t that be asking for trouble?

By then, I might not even have a job.

Jiaojiao, the first time I met you, I knew you were a good person. You’re completely different from your sister-in-law. You... at least you’re related to her. If you’re willing to help me get back at her, it would be much easier than if I did it myself.

If you're willing, I’ll definitely repay you in the future."

Zhou Jiaojiao cursed Xiao Tang for being useless inwardly, and also hated how clever Bai Xiuxiu was.

If she had any good solution now, she wouldn't be inciting Xiao Tang.

However, although there's no solution right now, as soon as she can go to the provincial city, there will immediately be a solution.

Zhou Jiaojiao was thinking about her upcoming plan, hoping to successfully take over some stalls in the black market.

By then, she would be the same as Hu Tian.

She wouldn’t give Hu Tian a single penny of her money.

As long as she had money, she really didn’t believe she couldn’t go to the provincial city.

She had good luck and could always turn danger into safety, unlike Hu Tian and the others who worried about everything. She had nothing to worry about!

Thinking of this, Zhou Jiaojiao lost her patience with Xiao Tang.

She didn’t want to waste time on useless people.

"I do want to help you get revenge, but I have to get to the provincial city first. Sister Tang, you've been at the office for so long. Do you know how Bai Xiuxiu usually operates?" Zhou Jiaojiao didn’t want to talk about revenge.

She had more important things to do now, namely, to produce results.

Relying solely on Du Juan was useless. Director Du was incredibly greedy!

Seeing that Zhou Jiaojiao couldn’t help her and even tried to benefit from her, Xiao Tang felt even more frustrated.

"How would I know how she operates?" Xiao Tang replied. "Forget it. Since you can’t help me get revenge, can you help me ask Director Du if there are any vacancies and get me in?

I really don’t want to go to the commune."

Xiao Tang didn’t dare to think about how her in-laws would treat her if they found out she was being transferred to the commune.

"This... I’m not very familiar with Director Du, but I can help you pass on a message." Zhou Jiaojiao looked troubled but inwardly cursed her bad luck.

She didn’t want to use her connections for someone like Xiao Tang. The fact that Xiao Tang dared to ask such a thing—wasn’t she shameless?

"Sister Tang, I need to hurry home, so I won’t chat with you anymore." Zhou Jiaojiao ran off after speaking.

Xiao Tang, feeling frustrated, stood in the same spot, fuming and stomping her feet.

At the Wangs’.

After getting rid of Xiao Tang, Zhou Jiaojiao returned home.

As soon as she entered the house, she saw a large family crowding the room she shared with Wang Qingqi, which made Zhou Jiaojiao feel even more suffocated.

Why was this entire family here at her place?

While Bai Xiuxiu and Wang Qinghe could go to the provincial city to live comfortably?

"Fifth Brother’s Wife is back? Have they agreed to the matter you discussed with us? When will our family be like Hu Tian’s and stop giving money to Hu Tian?" Wang Shoucheng had been thinking about this matter.

If they could really take over that business, it has to be him who manages it.

A woman like Fifth Brother’s Wife has no qualifications to handle something so important for the Wang Family.

Zhou Jiaojiao had just entered the house and hadn’t even had a sip of water when her father-in-law bombarded her with questions. Her expression immediately sank. "Dad, there's no use in rushing this matter. We have to wait for them to contact us, and they might not even sell it to us."

"You should go and ask more often, and plead with them if needed.

How can you not take this important matter seriously?

Once the deal is done, I'll take care of everything else. It's not proper for a woman to be out and about, so I'll handle it.

"What?" Zhou Jiaojiao snapped.

"This is the money I earned, the contacts I made..."

Before she could finish, Wang Shoucheng angrily slammed the table and shouted: "What do you mean these are the connections you made? What do you mean this is the money you earned? This is all for the family, and without the support of our Wang family, what could you do on your own?

If we let you take charge, how do you think Fifth Brother's older brothers would react?

Can't you be more reasonable?

Zhou Jiaojiao felt disgusted, realizing that this old man clearly wanted to keep all the benefits for himself and use them to control her.

"That's right, Fifth Brother's wife, Father is right. This is a serious matter. You have a good job now, how can you manage both responsibilities? Father's duties can be handed over to someone else, so you can focus on handling these matters."

The second son, Wang Qingfu, immediately took Wang Shoucheng's side.

If the work could be transferred, his wife could take over. With Father securing the benefits of the black market, they won't all go to Fifth Brother's family.

For him, it was a perfect solution."
