"Oh, Qiaoqiao, Beixiao, it's so good that you're back!"

"Yingzi's here too! Come in, come in and sit down. Auntie will go make you some sweet soup!"

As soon as Jiang Qiaoqiao, Huo Beixiao, and Luo Yingzi arrived at the entrance of the Jiang family compound, Peng Cuiying's enthusiastic voice echoed throughout the entire compound.

Everyone else in the family compound naturally looked over.

Upon seeing that it was Jiang Qiaoqiao and Huo Beixiao, everyone's gaze towards the Jiang family became somewhat subtle.

But most people are still envious and jealous.

"Director Jiang, Qiaoqiao is back! You're going to have a lot of good fortune from now on!"

"Oh, Qiaoqiao, you're finally back. There's no such thing as a family feud that lasts overnight, right? It shouldn't escalate to the point of publishing a notice in the newspaper to sever ties, should it?"

...

Jiang Qiaoqiao subconsciously looked at the aunt who had said those words.

I only remember that she was the wife of some director at the food factory, and that this person and Peng Cuiying didn't get along very well.

Peng Cuiying glared fiercely at Wang Jingui.

Wang Jingui is deliberately bringing up things that shouldn't be brought up; isn't she just trying to stir up trouble?

She asked in a high-pitched voice that could be heard throughout the entire courtyard, "Jin Gui, I heard that your eldest son and daughter-in-law are going to transfer their household registration to your daughter-in-law's family home. Is it all settled?"

"Oh dear, after this is all settled, will your son marry into your in-laws' family and become their son?"

"So, will your eldest grandson's surname be Sun or Qian?"

Wang Jingui's husband's surname is Sun, and her eldest daughter-in-law's surname is Qian.

Wang Jingui waited until Peng Cuiying's face turned green.

Peng Cuiying, chin held high like a victorious rooster, continued to provoke Wang Jingui, "Oh, I forgot, your daughter-in-law just had a miscarriage. Don't worry about what your grandson's surname will be."

Everyone in the compound knew that Wang Jingui and her eldest daughter-in-law didn't get along.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were always arguing, and this time the argument got really bad, so Wang Jingui poured a bucket of cold water on her daughter-in-law.

Her daughter-in-law tried to fight back, but somehow she tripped and fell.

She fell and bled immediately, only then realizing she was pregnant, and the baby was lost.

Seeing that Wang Jingui was speechless, Peng Cuiying gave her a smug look and said, "Jingui, I'm giving you a piece of advice. You should hurry back and stew some chicken soup and take it to your in-laws' house so your daughter-in-law can have some nourishing soup."

Otherwise, who knows what your grandson's surname will be in the future!

Peng Cuiying pretended to be concerned and worried for Wang Jingui, and shook her head in a show of concern.

Before Wang Jingui could speak, she turned and helped Jiang Jiahua up, saying, "Old Jiang, your old back problem is finally cured."

"You said it's been so many years, and it never got better. It's all thanks to Qiaoqiao and Beixiao's filial piety that they took you to the hospital for a full checkup. They found out exactly what was wrong with you, and the doctor prescribed the right medicine, and you got better right away!"

Peng Cuiying spoke very loudly, as if afraid that someone might not have heard her.

It's obvious she just wanted to show off Huo Beixiao, her wealthy son-in-law.

Jiang Jiahua strongly agreed with Peng Cuiying's statement, which confirmed that he and Jiang Qiaoqiao had reconciled.

But he worried that Jiang Qiaoqiao wouldn't give them that face and would directly sabotage their efforts.

So, without giving Jiang Qiaoqiao a chance to speak, he quickly said, "Qiaoqiao, Beixiao, Yingzi, come on, let's sit inside."

Jiang Qiaoqiao smiled slightly, glanced deeply at Wang Jingui, whose face had turned purple with anger, before replying to Jiang Jiahua, "Okay!"

After entering the room, Jiang Qiaoqiao looked around but did not see Jiang Yiran.

Haha, it seems that this time, Jiang Jiahua and Peng Cuiying, for the sake of money, are finally willing to put some effort into scheming against her, and have actually been willing to send Jiang Yiran away first.

"Sister-in-law, where is the adopted daughter of the Jiang family?" Luo Yingzi leaned closer to Jiang Qiaoqiao and asked in a low voice.

Jiang Qiaoqiao said calmly, "It's probably because I don't get along with her. But don't worry, she'll definitely be back soon."

If Jiang Yiran could so easily allow Peng Cuiying and the others to kick her out for her sake, then she wouldn't be Jiang Yiran.

"Oh." Luo Yingzi didn't ask Jiang Qiaoqiao why, and nodded trustingly.

*

"Ranran, Ranran... just hang in there a little longer, we'll be home soon."

Just as Peng Cuiying brought a table of dishes to the table, Jiang Yong'an rushed in carrying the pale-faced Jiang Yiran.

Jiang Jiahua and Peng Cuiying's expressions changed simultaneously, and they both subconsciously looked at Jiang Qiaoqiao.

Jiang Qiaoqiao blinked her beautiful, watery almond-shaped eyes and asked with a puzzled look, "Director Jiang, Mrs. Jiang, you're eating, why are you all looking at me?"

After she finished speaking, she looked at Jiang Yong'an's back as he carried Jiang Yiran upstairs and suddenly realized, "Oh, Ranran doesn't seem to be doing well. Should you go and check on her?"

"No need!" Jiang Jiahua denied without hesitation, "She was never our Jiang family's daughter. We raised her for twenty years and even found her a husband. We have been more than kind to her."

Not only is she ungrateful, but since you came back, Qiaoqiao, she's been constantly going against you. We're already being lenient by not disciplining her.

Peng Cuiying chimed in, "Yes, Qiaoqiao, your mother was misled by her back then, which is why you suffered so much injustice."

Mom will never do that again. Here, have a chicken leg.

Peng Cuiying put on a loving mother's act and put a chicken leg on Jiang Qiaoqiao's plate.

A fleeting look of heartache crossed his eyes.

When did it become Jiang Qiaoqiao's turn to eat the chicken legs at home?!
