Chapter 6 Chapter 6

She is now nine months and seven days away from turning eighteen.

Blind date? How could you arrange a blind date for a high school student who's not even an adult?!

Qiao Wangbei's smug expression didn't seem like he was joking.

Qiao Jiaxin knew that he had something bad in mind!

Having been a prodigal son for more than thirty years, it is absolutely impossible for him to wake up from his dream and turn over a new leaf at this moment.

Looking at the man named Zhang Hua sitting opposite her, Qiao Jiaxin felt like she was being harassed.

Even though he looked okay, his eyes were really obscene. She could imagine what kind of dirty thoughts were in his head, and the corners of his mouth that couldn't be controlled to rise...

How could this be a blind date? This is clearly a pimp!

"Old Four, why are you here?"

Just as Qiao Jiaxin was hesitating whether to escape back to her room or run out of the house, Liu Shuqin came back with a bag of vegetables.

After glancing at the strange man, she walked into the kitchen, put the dishes in the sink, and said casually, "Why didn't you tell me in advance that you were bringing friends home for dinner? Please sit for a while, I'll go out and buy some more."

Seeing her grandma come back, Qiao Jiaxin felt like she had grabbed a life-saving straw. She quickly got up and went into the kitchen.

Qiao Wangbei: "Don't bother, Xiao Zhang and Jia Xin are going out to eat soon."

"Go out to eat?" Liu Shuqin was stunned.

Qiao Wangbei then stood up, spat out the melon seed shells stuck in his mouth, and introduced her, "This is my brother Xiao Zhang. He's the blind date I found for Jiaxin."

Liu Shuqin's expression darkened. "Blind date? What blind date?"

"Jiaxin is already grown up, in a few months..."

“Get out, get out, get out!”

Before Qiao Wangbei could finish his words, Liu Shuqin grabbed a broom from the corner and started to chase him away. "Fuck you, you're asking a man who's almost thirty to go on a blind date with a little girl who hasn't grown up yet? How shameless of you!"

Lifting the broom in her hand, Liu Shuqin first protected Qiao Jiaxin as she walked into the house. After she went in and closed the door, she hit Qiao Wangbei again and again.

It was the first time that Qiao Jiaxin heard her grandma curse so vulgarly, and it was also the first time that she saw her grandma fight.

In my impression, my grandma is gentle and calm. With my grandpa supporting the family, even if she is not nurturing the flowers that grow up, she does not have to deal with the storms outside.

But for her own sake, she was like a hen protecting her chicks. Even though she was very scared and had no confidence, she had to pretend to be strong and try to stand up the feathers on her neck.

The scoundrel named Zhang Hua was driven away by grandma.

Putting down the broom in her hand, grandma was so angry that her hands were shaking when she saw Qiao Wangbei doing such a shameful thing.

"Mom, what are you doing?"

"What am I doing? I also want to ask you what you want to do!"

"Jiaxin is only a little old, and you're setting her up on a blind date? Do you have any brains at all?"

"Won't she be eighteen next year? Now find someone suitable to date, and then get married after a year or two. Don't people in our village usually get married at eighteen or nineteen? You and my dad..."

"When was that? When is this? Have you ever thought about Jiaxin?"

"I swear to God, I'm really doing this for her own good. I'm a brother, and my family is very well-off. If this really works out, Jiaxin will have a very good life in the future."

What Qiao Wangbei understood as care and what Liu Shuqin meant by care were completely different.

He felt that as long as Qiao Jiaxin could marry well, he would have fulfilled his obligations as her uncle.

For women, marriage is the most important thing in life.

No matter how much you study, isn't it all for the purpose of finding a man with better conditions?

Now he has helped me find a man with excellent conditions. How great is that! This way I don’t have to study and can avoid several years of detours.

“You, you…”

Liu Shuqin was extremely angry.

She should have expected that Qiao Wangbei was a troublemaker, but she didn't expect that he would be even more troublesome than he was!

Qiao Jiaxin hurried out of the house, poured her a glass of water, and patted her back to help her calm down. "Grandma, don't be angry, my uncle..."

Qiao Jiaxin wanted to say a few words to defend him in front of her grandmother, but as soon as she opened her mouth she wanted to call him a bastard and a shameless hooligan!

Qiao Wangbei was also clueless. Even at this point, he was still trying to excuse himself: "I'm really doing this for Jiaxin's own good. If she marries well, won't you be able to worry less? And live a good life for a few days?"

“You! You…!”

"Uncle, please stop talking." Seeing that grandma's breathing was getting more and more rapid, Qiao Jiaxin hurriedly pushed Qiao Wangbei out, "Why don't you leave too!"

If he didn't leave, Qiao Jiaxin was really afraid that she would not be able to control herself and would snatch the broom from her grandmother's hand and hit him on the head in the stomach.

After Qiao Wangbei left, Liu Shuqin, who was slumped in the chair, burst into tears.

Why is it that my brain isn't working as well as it used to at my age?

Having raised Qiao Wangbei since he was a child, she knew he never spoke the truth and never did anything worthwhile, so how could she still believe him...

Her tears were not only for Qiao Wangbei, but also for her other three sons.

Last time we agreed that we would go home to discuss a result, but several days have passed and there is not even a word!

Fortunately, they haven't reached the point of despair, otherwise how would they live in the future?

In the evening, when Qiao Jiaxin was having dinner with her grandma, Qiao Wangbei's wife came.

"Mom~"

She called "Mom" affectionately, and the smile on her face was so sweet that it seemed to be oozing with honey.

Liu Shuqin ignored her, but didn't turn her away either. She just went back to the kitchen and added half a spoonful of rice to the bowl.

He was very enthusiastic not only towards Liu Shuqin, but also towards Qiao Jiaxin. As soon as he entered the door, he hurriedly stuffed the gift in his hand into her hand and said, "Jiaxin, this matter is your uncle's fault. You are magnanimous, so don't bother with him, a brainless person."

Qiao Wangbei is handsome and his wife is also beautiful.

Her name is Dujuan, and as her name suggests, even though her family doesn't have much money, she still dresses up as beautifully as azalea, with curly hair, red lips, and high heels. She doesn't look like a person in her thirties at all.

Of course, she will only be nice to herself.

Look at the "gifts" she gave you?

Half a bag of oranges and a bag of meat. I couldn’t bear to buy good quality meat. It looked like a big bag, but it was actually just chicken fork bones with not much meat.

And that dress that was said to be given to Qiao Jiaxin...

Bright red color with black and white dots.

It doesn't look like a new item, it looks like something I don't want to wear anymore.

Liu Shuqin ignored her, and Qiao Jiaxin put the things she brought at the door and continued to eat the rice in the bowl like her grandma.

The atmosphere in the room was a little awkward, but Du Juan was still trying to speak up for Qiao Wangbei. "Mom, Wangbei blamed himself a lot after he went back, saying he made you angry. So, he was afraid he'd say something wrong again, so he didn't even eat before calling me to come and see what was going on."

After that, she turned to Qiao Jiaxin and said, "Jiaxin, tell Fourth Aunt, did Zhang Hua do something to you? What's wrong with him?"

Pop.

Liu Shuqin slammed her chopsticks on the bowl. The force was not strong, but it was enough to express her dissatisfaction.

"What's going on? How can an uncle arrange a blind date for his niece who hasn't even grown up yet?"

"She promised me last time that she would provide for my retirement and take care of Jiaxin, but now she's forcing her to get married."

"Tell me, what kind of thing is this that he did?"

Don't hit someone who smiles at you. Du Juan spoke politely, and the soft-hearted Liu Shuqin couldn't bear to say anything harsh to her.

"Yes, yes, yes."

Dujuan nodded rapidly, admitting her mistake very quickly, but she didn't think so in her heart.

"But we just met, right? We didn't say we're going to get married right away," Du Juan said, pretending to be affectionate as she sat next to Qiao Jiaxin and took her hand. "Jiaxin has never been in a relationship, right? This is a good opportunity to try to get in touch with someone. What if it works out?"

Qiao Jiaxin: ???

Qiao Jiaxin pulled her hand back and moved away from her.

I thought she came here sincerely to apologize, but it turned out she was just here to lobby.

"It won't work." Liu Shuqin refused bluntly.

Du Juan was still trying to fight for it, "Do you think Zhang Hua's conditions are not good enough? It's okay, I'll..."

"Don't look for it anymore. It won't work out with anyone." Liu Shuqin interrupted her.

Liu Shuqin didn't want to argue anymore. After taking a deep breath, she said coldly, "Jiaxin still has to go to school and take the college entrance exam. No matter how good the person we introduce her to is, it won't work out."

Liu Shuqin put it bluntly.

Seeing her like this, Dujuan, who had been smiling apologetically just now, also changed his expression.

"Aren't you planning for Jiaxin? Finding her a good husband, how can that not be good for her? Even if she doesn't marry now, she will have to marry in the future. She can't live with us forever."

Liu Shuqin: "Don't worry about it. I won't live with you."

"Why don't you live with me? When Wangbei and I move in, will Jiaxin be able to move out? Or are you planning on sleeping on the floor in this room out there?"

"Move in?" Liu Shuqin was surprised. "Who would want to move in like that? Don't you have a place to live?"

Du Juan said confidently, "You, didn't you agree with Wang Bei last time that as long as Wang Bei and I take care of your retirement and arrange Jia Xin's future, the house will continue to be occupied in Wang Bei's name?"

"He, he said at the time..."

Liu Shuqin had a bad feeling and couldn't even speak clearly.

At that time, they decided to use his name because the old man had passed away and they were afraid that the factory would take the house back.

And after he took over the property, he let him and his granddaughter live there. He didn’t say that he wanted her to move in with him?

After swallowing the food in her mouth, Liu Shuqin felt something hit her heart hard.

She seemed to have been deceived by that bastard Qiao Wangbei...
