Chapter 49

"Alas, everyone has their own luck. If Ah Shan really can't pass the exam, then there's nothing we can do, right?" Qi Chao has no biological brothers or sisters, only a cousin. He still can't quite understand his wife's feelings...

Since this mud can't climb up the wall, even if you push it up, it won't be able to stick to itself and will fall down...

But he just likes this aspect of his wife, caring for her brothers and sisters, filial, kind-hearted, and good!

Deng Hong glanced at the unimpressive man and thought, "That's why I have to manage things properly!" Then she thought about her friend. Because she married a capable man, she now eats and drinks well and looks several years younger than she does! What kind of life is that? What kind of life is that? When you're young, you really can't just focus on looks when looking for a partner. It's useless!

Qi Chao added some warm water and put it in the basin. "Wife, wash your face quickly. I'll go boil some water for washing your feet."

Look! A grown man doesn't think about working hard at the factory, but stays at home taking care of his wife and children!

"I see, Chao. Do you still want to go to Dad's room? By the way, Dad didn't go to Qi Xingye's room today, right?" Deng Hong asked, rolling up her sleeves.

Qi Chao shook his head. "I'll ask later. I don't know."

Deng Hong took the towel handed over by Qi Chao and wiped her face. "Hey, it would be great if Dad could help us pick up Yalan when he's free. We can go to Second Aunt's place whenever we have time." After a pause, she said with a hint of embarrassment, "You know what people will gossip about our dad when they see him. Why don't you talk about him?"

"You know those gossipers are always making up stories. My dad only comes to visit from time to time because he promised my grandparents and my second uncle to take good care of Xingye. My dad and my second aunt are innocent." Qi Chao defended his father. How could this be nonsense? Those gossipers were really annoying.

Deng Hong glanced at him, said nothing, and choked inwardly. "You think your father and Second Aunt are innocent? I don't think they think so. Your father owns the bank, how could he give it up so easily?"

When Deng Hong was dating Qi Chao, she was quite satisfied. Qi Chao was good-looking, a regular worker at a thermos factory, and he didn't have any old mothers-in-law or other brothers and sisters at home. These conditions were better than those of some of her friends.

She became dissatisfied after getting married.

The most dissatisfied among them was Qi Chao's father. His wife had passed away long ago, and instead of giving his earnings to his son and his wife and helping his son, he put so much thought into his nephew, even contributing money and effort to his nephew's marriage. If you didn't know him, you would think he was his own son.

The second aunt is the same. Other younger siblings keep their distance from the eldest uncle, but she is so good at it. She always goes to the eldest uncle for everything. The old man is the same. He spends money so quickly. Why doesn't he leave more for his son? He always complains about not having a grandson. Qi Xingye didn't even have a son, so why is he still spending money to coax that little girl into buying candy?

Deng Hong: "Go to Dad's room and see if he needs some water. Let him soak his feet. Did he work at Second Aunt's again today?"

Qi Chao embraced his wife, kissed her, and laughed foolishly, "Wife, I am so lucky. How could I have such a good wife like you..."

"This is in front of the child~ Go quickly!" Deng Hong said angrily, winking at Qi Chao, "Come back quickly after you finish packing for Daddy!" She had to get pregnant with a son quickly, and see what that damn old man said!

Qi Chao: "Wife, wait for me! I'll be right back!"

"Dad, you..." Qi Chao ran to Uncle Qi's room.

Deng Hong snorted, closed the door, and continued to think about how to push Ah Shan up. Ask the principal for a gift?

.

Bi family.

Bi Chunliu, who was about to flip through the book, stopped what he was doing and twitched his lips.

These three people! This is a silk banner, not gold...

"I'm telling you three, no matter how much you look at this thing or how much you move it, it won't change!"

“Yes, yes!”

The three of them were still very excited. Bi Qiuguo moved to another place and gestured, "Second brother, third sister, look, is it okay to hang it here?"

Bi Weiguo nodded. "I think so. This shows that it is as important as our wall clock! They are both valuable things!"

Bi Chunliu: “…”

Bi Xiahe: "I think so too! I'll ask my friend for a small piece of plastic sheeting tomorrow. Her mother works in a plastics factory! I'll sew the sheeting together so it won't get dusty!"

Bi Chunliu: “………………”

No need for that... I didn't know and thought it was a family heirloom...

"Just leave it there. No need for the plastic sheet!" Bi Chunliu couldn't accept the fact that the banner also had a curtain; it gave her a bad association. "Go to bed quickly. I won't be working tomorrow, and you won't be going to school either."

Bi Weiguo: "Actually, sister, it's okay for me not to go. Will you go to the suburbs tomorrow? I can carry the basket for you, and I can climb trees!" He tried hard to promote himself.

Bi Qiuguo: "I can do it too, big sister! I know everything our teacher will teach you tomorrow! I can also help you carry the basket! I can learn to climb trees!"

Bi Xiahe also looked at her elder sister longingly.

Bi Chunliu pushed her head a few times and said, "Don't even think about it. I can't skip classes!" She wanted to go to the suburbs, and she also thought that if she got anything tomorrow, she would go to the black market, and she couldn't bring a few students with her.

"Oh... okay..." Bi Weiguo was disappointed. He really didn't want to go to school anymore.

"Why?! Why am I always the first one to be left behind when something happens? Why? Just because I don't have that?! I don't accept it!!"

Bi Qiuguo's ears were like radar, and he put them close to the window.

"Sister, it's Sister Xiangnan..." Bi Qiuguo called softly.

Bi Chunliu glanced at Bi Xiahe, and Bi Xiahe understood and turned off the lights in the house. The four of them watched in the dark, no, listened to the fun.

.

Nie family.

Nie Xiangnan argued until his face turned red and his neck became thick. "Mom, I just want to ask, you are also a girl, and grandpa only has you and my aunt as his daughters. Grandpa and grandma don't look down on you and my aunt, so why do you always look down on me? You are obviously a woman too, why do you still favor boys over girls..."

Nie Xiangnan wiped away her tears fiercely. She didn't understand. Her mother and aunt were spoiled by her grandparents. Her mother had never suffered from the pain of favoring boys over girls, but she became an advocate of favoring boys over girls.

Bai Xingzi was also angry. "Who looked down on you? I didn't say anything. You stupid girl! You've really become stupid from studying! You don't respect your parents and you even disobey them!"

"You think highly of me, so why can't I take the exam? Nie Xiangbei's grades aren't as good as mine, so why can he go and I can't? It's an equal opportunity, and we can't just recruit one person, so why can't I go?"

Bai Xingzi glared at her and scolded her, "You damned girl, keep your voice down. You have to make sure the whole compound hears you howling, don't you?!"

"Fourth brother, Mom is right, speak a little more quietly, Mom doesn't mean that..." Nie Xiangdong tried to persuade him. He was busy asking for money from his family recently. If the third brother passed the exam, he wouldn't have to spend money to buy him a job.

"Shut up! If you can't control yourself, your family wouldn't have to endure the Liu family's bullying. You can't even clean up your own mess, so don't bother with me!!!"

Thinking about the extra money his eldest brother had to pay for his wedding, Nie Xiangnan felt even more aggrieved and angry. Nie Xiangdong had done such a thing, and he hadn't even been scolded. He wanted to shout without hesitation, but he was worried about others hearing him, so he could only curse Nie Xiangdong in a low voice.

"You - really don't know how to appreciate a good person!" Nie Xiangdong felt guilty but angry. Although he had cheated his family of money, he didn't talk back like that!

Bai Xingzi squinted at Nie Xiangnan and said, "This girl is going to make a big fuss. I told your dad not to be so nice to her. Look, she's grown wings and is going to make a big fuss..."

Nie Xiangnan laughed out loud. "Being nice to me? This is the biggest joke in the world! I'm so lucky..."

Nie Xiangxi stopped Nie Xiangnan who was about to run away and said, "Don't run around so late at night, otherwise it will be troublesome if something happens."

"Fourth Brother, don't be angry. If you want to take the exam, go ahead. No one will stop you. By the way, if you have any questions, Second Brother will ask Cuicui to ask her father to help you find some connections."

Bai Xingzi: "Second Brother, if you can find someone, then help Xiangbei——"

"Mom!" Nie Xiangxi interrupted her loudly. This girl was in the middle of an outburst, and she was still talking nonsense, adding fuel to the fire! It felt like Mom hadn't been like this before when she was working, so why is she like this now? Sigh... Cuicui's dad was right. Could Cuicui really get along with Mom?

Why hasn't Dad come back yet?

Nie Xuesong, whom Nie Xiangxi was waiting for, was drunk, with a red face and nose, and staggered into the room.

Xue Zhengchu was waiting for him. When he saw Nie Xuesong enter the yard, he hurried out of the house and kindly reminded him, "Old Nie, go home and take a look! It seems that your Xiangnan is arguing with her mother. Oh, your Lao Bai is also arguing. Xiangnan is such a good daughter, why does he always scold her and make her cry? Xiaoling and I want a daughter, but we still don't have one!"

Zhang Jianyuan from the Zhang family also came out of the house. "Brother Nie, who did you go drinking with? Why did you get so drunk? Why didn't you find someone to see you off?"

Nie Xuesong: "..." He swayed twice, stood up against the wall, and vomited. They were all inferior to him, and they were still saying sour words here. Did they really think he couldn't hear them because he was drunk?

"Who else can I go to drink with my brother-in-law and my father-in-law? Where else can I go?"

Even if it really does matter, I can’t tell you…Once today’s matter is settled, there will be no more difficulties at home.

Xue Zhengchu supported Nie Xuesong and wanted to take him home. "Old Nie, come, I'll take you home. Do you want my Xiaoling to persuade your Lao Bai?"

Nie Xuesong refused several times, saying no, and pushed Xue Zhengchu away. "I can do it myself. It's just a few steps. You guys should rest quickly. I'm going home too."

Zhang Jianyuan nodded in agreement and said with a smile, "By the way, Brother Nie, when the neighborhood committee gives you the certificate of commendation during the New Year this year, please remember to let us all see it before putting it away. It will be an honor for our compound!"

Nie Xuesong stood firm and asked, "What certificate?"

Xue Zhengchu: "Oh, Old Nie, this is your fault. Didn't your husband Bai come to inform you today? The eldest daughter of the Bi family and Li Musheng from the third hospital each received a banner from the police station!!" He said that being a second uncle is not very useful, and this good thing of receiving a certificate is not his own...

"Hmm? Really? That's a good thing. Ouch, I feel dizzy. I'll go home first. We can talk about it tomorrow." Nie Xuesong felt that his brain was not working well. After saying that, he walked away with one foot deep and one foot shallow.
