70's Raising a Child: I'm done with cannon fodder female supporting roles

Chapter 17: Good Intentions Still Get Blackmailed

Is this still the Shen Nanqiao who always competed with her?
From the moment he entered the store, Shen Nanqiao's eyes never stayed on her. The pride and complacency that he had felt from the inside out from being imitated by others disappeared instantly.

The boss was the most distressed because he had to refund the money if the new fabric could not be sold.

"Comrade Shen, do you think this batch of material is not good enough? It is much better than cotton cloth!"

Shen Nanqiao narrowed his eyes.

She is a designer of a modern fashion clothing brand, so of course she knows what kind of fabrics will produce good-looking clothes.

The Dacron that the boss talks about is not that good.

At that time, Dacron was not produced in China and was all imported from abroad.

The prices are ridiculous.

It was obvious that the items the boss had were defective products left over from the city. It was not cost-effective to spend a lot of money on defective products.

"No need, the clothes I make myself will also look good. Boss, please return my money to me, and I wish you a prosperous business in the future."

The boss was in tears. How could he talk about a prosperous business if this big customer wouldn't come again?

The woman next to Su Qian heard this and said with disdain:
"You still make your own clothes? What can you do? You have been married to the Jiang family for so many years, and you don't know how to do anything except eating and drinking. You even snatched Qianqian's things."

Shen Nanqiao looked at her coldly and said:

"You pay so much attention to me, are your eyes on me? Or are you just too self-deprecating?"

When the woman heard this, she became furious:

"Shen Nanqiao! Don't be so arrogant! Who has eyes on you? You are the one who follows Qianqian every day! You buy whatever Qianqian buys, and you go wherever Qianqian goes. How dare you say that!"

Seeing this, Su Qian hurriedly said in a gentle voice, "Forget it, Xiuyu, everyone has their own ideas when buying things.

Boss, since Shen Nanqiao doesn't want it anymore, I'll buy some of the Dacron fabrics first. If the clothes turn out well, I'll buy more."

The boss was feeling very miserable at this moment.

Except for Su Qian and Shen Nanqiao, no one else in the surrounding villages was willing to pay such a high price for the batch of Dacron fabric he purchased.

If this continues, I'm afraid I'll lose all my money on this batch of goods.

After a lot of trouble, Su Qian only bought some Dacron fabric and refunded Shen Nanqiao twenty yuan for the fabric.

In the end, Shen Nanqiao took the cloth and left, not even planning to do the sewing here.

Shen Nanqiao collected the money and cloth and left the cotton shop without looking back.

Su Qian and Xiu Yu also came out afterwards. Xiu Yu looked at Shen Nan Qiao's receding back, frowned, and said to Su Qian with a puzzled look on her face:

"Qianqian, do you think Shen Nanqiao is a little strange? She used to learn everything from you, even trying to snatch men from you. But now, she pretends to be cool and indifferent. What is she doing?"

Su Qian pursed her lips and said softly:

"Xiu Yu, please stop talking about this. Jiang Zhe and I, that's all in the past. Now we both have our own families. It's enough for him to live a good life. It's more important for us to live our own lives well."

Xiuyu was still indignant:
"Qianqian, you are just too kind. You are about to select outstanding employees, but she is clamoring to go to work in the steel factory. Who knows what she is thinking?

Qianqian, you have to be more careful and don't let her ruin your good deeds."

Su Qian's heart is like a mirror.

Although Shen Nanqiao always competes with her, he has never won. She will not let Shen Nanqiao ruin her good deeds.

However, she still had a gentle smile on her face and said:
"It's okay. The factory's selection is fair and just. Xiuyu, don't think too badly of others." "Qianqian, you are so kind, you will suffer sooner or later."

Here, Shen Nanqiao was carrying the cloth and preparing to return to the tube building.

She saw a fat boy by the river, fishing in a bag. She glanced at him casually, not taking him seriously, and continued walking forward.

Not long after I walked away, I heard a sharp cry for help from behind me.

"Help! Help!"

Shen Nanqiao turned back hurriedly.

I saw that the fat boy who was originally by the river had fallen into the river.

His whole body was struggling and thrashing in the water, his chubby face was flushed red, and he was shouting at the top of his voice: "Help! Come and save me!"

Shen Nanqiao's eyes flashed, and without hesitation, he ran to the river, put the cloth on the shore, and jumped into the river with a "splash".

She swam hard towards the fat boy, and finally swam to his side, using all her strength to lift him up.

But this time, Shen Nanqiao had a harder time in the water. He thought to himself, this child is really heavy, probably about 70 or 80 kilograms!

In this day and age, living in a shabby tube-shaped building, a child can still be raised to be so fat. What a pampered child this must be!

Shen Nanqiao held the fat boy and swam towards the river. After a lot of effort, he was about to push him to the shore.

The fat boy was afraid of drowning, so he frantically struggled towards the shore with his hands and even kicked Shen Nanqiao.

"Gudong..."

Shen Nanqiao was kicked unexpectedly and was immediately drowned in the river. The river water rushed into her mouth, choking her and causing a burning pain in her lungs.

When Xiaopang fell into the water, he was seen by the Wang family who were busy working on the crops in the fields. The Wang family members hurried to call Xiaopang's family.

"Auntie, Auntie, please stop picking corn. I saw your grandson fall into the river!"

Aunt Wang shouted.

Old lady Ma, who was picking corn, suddenly panicked, dropped the corn in her hand and ran out.

This is her precious fat grandson, nothing must happen to him!

Old Ma ran and called to her three granddaughters:
"All of you, hurry up and follow me, your brother has fallen into the river! No matter what, you must rescue him, or I will never forgive you!"

When the three girls heard this, they dared not continue working and hurriedly followed Old Lady Ma to the river.

When Old Lady Ma arrived, many adults had already gathered around Xiaopang. The child who fell into the water was frightened and sat on the shore crying heartbreakingly.

As for Shen Nanqiao, his leg cramped in the water after being kicked by Xiaopang.

Her face turned pale. She never expected that the original owner's health was so poor that she actually got cramps in the water.

"I can't die here!" Shen Nanqiao widened his eyes with a look of determination, and swam towards the shore with all his strength.

He finally reached the shore with both hands, but the onlookers around were only concerned with asking Xiao Pang questions, and no one paid any attention to Shen Nanqiao at all.

Shen Nanqiao took a lot of effort to climb out of the river. He was soaked all over, with his hair sticking to his forehead, looking miserable.

Old Ma couldn't care about anything else at this moment. She ran over and hugged her fat grandson. She was so distressed that she kept muttering:

"My dear grandson, are you okay? If anything happens to you, grandma will die."
