Miao Lishan frowned, "The Bai family is involved?"

"Probably not. If he was involved, Xiaojiu's name wouldn't have appeared, because he would have been replaced long ago. But whether or not any promises were made is unknown."

After saying that, Zhou Jiao leaned back on the sofa and smiled, then looked at Xiao Jiu. "Just stay here for two days. Once everything is settled, if you're not used to it here, I'll find you a place to stay."

"It's not safe for a little girl to live outside. It's better for her to live with us. You can just chat with me." Miao Lishan patted Xiaojiu's head lovingly. "Don't be afraid. I'll adopt you as my granddaughter. No one will dare to say anything to you."

Zhou Jiao smiled silently.

"Xiaotang'er is staying at home these days, just in time for you to accompany your little sister Xiaojiu. After we leave for May Day in a few days, the house will be quite quiet."

Yi Tangtang glanced at Zhou Jiao and saw her nod slightly. She took Miao Lishan's arm and smiled, "Okay, grandma, I'll listen to you. I'm bored at home alone."

It's not appropriate to say that they live at home. The three Ping'an brothers are already grown up, and they still need to be careful in the hot summer. Zhou Jiao pays great attention to this point.

So she took a day off the next day, and using the excuse that Zhang's father and mother were coming, she took her two little girls and three sons to the old house by car.

Qi Kejiu's usual clothes at Zheng's house have been retrieved by Xiao Zhu. As for other items, everything has to wait for the military to investigate thoroughly.

As soldiers, they all had good intentions towards the orphans of martyrs. I don’t know what Xiao Zhu said when he came to their house, but the boy came back with a smile on his face.

It is said that this boy was carrying a small package along the way. While greeting his comrades, he also shook it, claiming that it was the little girl's clothes for all seasons.

Zhou Jiao could imagine that even if Zheng Tiejun was innocent, his political career would come to an end.

The war in the south is over, but frictions are still inevitable on the border. As a soldier, who doesn't live with his life on the line? Who doesn't worry about the placement of his children if he is gone?

It's one thing if no one exposes it, but once it is exposed, things will naturally become serious.

Zhou Jiao didn't pay attention to what happened afterwards. She only heard Zhang Guoqing say that Zheng Tiejun was suspended for investigation the next day and the process was already going through.

Is it pitiful?

She specifically asked Xiaojiu.

After a night, the girl recounted in detail all the treatment she had received in the three years since she entered the Zheng family, both good and bad.

She didn't hide it.

In her words, she didn't want her father in heaven to feel that he had saved someone who was not a human being. The Zheng family did give her a place to stay.

After she was falsely accused of stealing money, Zheng Tiejun, whether to keep the peace or because he felt she was wronged, did in fact instruct his lover to give her pocket money every month.

Of course, how much pocket money should be given? This range is very wide.

On the surface, Xiaojiu and Zheng's girl each get two yuan of pocket money a month, but don't forget that such a grown-up girl has already started her period, so how much toilet paper alone would cost?

Xiaojiu is a girl. Knowing that Dabaihua is stinging her money, how can she have the nerve to ask you, a man, for money to buy toilet paper?

Zhou Jiao felt that this man was so fake!

Can your family keep my father's pension? You said you were worried about your child's inappropriate use of money, so why don't you keep it in the bank in her name?

Another point is that even if the girl doesn't have this pension, what about the child support she should receive every month? Why should your wife receive it?

Men who use the excuse that they are busy with work and neglect housework are such cowards!

Especially when I heard that this guy actually wanted his son to marry Xiaojiu, without even considering whether his two sons who only had a junior high school education were worthy of Xiaojiu.

Don't you even consider whether Xiaojiu is willing? Will she have to be a servant in your Zheng family for the rest of her life?

After learning all this, Zhou Jiao despised this family even more than Zhang Guoqing, who was laughing in anger, especially Zheng Tiejun, who really disgraced the reputation of a soldier.

Therefore, she took Xiaojiu away from the compound, or let the child avoid the Zheng family. She would deal with it after she got rid of that family and had some peace and quiet.

Wuyi specially vacated his own courtyard for Xiaojiu and Yi Tangtang to live in, and he pulled Liuyi to squeeze into Ping'an Courtyard, saying that the three brothers wanted to have a good date before going abroad.

Zhou Jiao smiled noncommittally at her youngest son's decision, and at night she drove her three sons directly to the wing room in her father's main courtyard.

joke!

Although they lived in separate courtyards, she wasn't worried about her son's behavior. But she had to be more careful about a man and a woman who were alone under her watch.

Ping An and Liu Yi, their earlobes red, hurriedly left arm in arm. Wu Yi, on the other hand, was looking at Zhou Jiao in confusion, "Mom, why are you making so much trouble?"

"My grandpa isn't home these two days. Also, in the middle of summer, the backyard is cooler, but if we sleep in the east wing, we have to hang a mosquito net, which is very troublesome."

"Also, those two little girls live in the empty backyard. Wouldn't they be scared?"

Zhou Jiao looked at him with a half-smile. After listening to her youngest son's nonsense, she raised her chin towards the backs of the two brothers who were leaving, signaling them to hurry up.

Wuyi shrugged helplessly, "Okay, okay, I'll listen to you. I'm just worried that you'll fall asleep and have to get up and go out in the middle of the night."

"I'm not worried about them. There's a big dog at the door. Who can get in?"

"That's right, good night, Mom."

As soon as his son left, Zhang Guoqing, who had been hiding his smile with his fists, suddenly burst into laughter. His silly son had indeed inherited his mother's emotional inertia.

Zhou Jiao glanced at him amusedly and said angrily, "What's so funny?"

"No." Zhang Guoqing immediately denied it. "Come on, accompany me to the study. Xiao Zhu gave me some information before dinner, and I haven't had time to read it yet. The information on that girl should be complete."

"Wait for me, I have to go back to the room to look for it first."

"What are you doing?"

"I have to prepare two sets of clothes for Xiaojiu. Before I had a daughter, I really didn't prepare much for little girls. What good ones I saw were all given to Xiaotangtang."

Zhang Guoqing hugged her back to the room and glanced at her unhappily. "Why don't you give her more fabric and let the little girl do it herself?"

“Brother, when I see her I think of myself. It’s because I met you, otherwise,” Zhou Jiao sighed, “Forget it, let’s not talk about it.”

Zhang Guoqing quickly suggested, "I remember the Miao family gave you a lot of jeans and batwing shirts. You don't wear them anyway, so this one is perfect for you."

"That girl is very proud. Didn't you see that she subconsciously frowned when I gave her anything? She never said anything hurtful when she mentioned the Zheng family."

"Are you interested?"

A smile flashed in Zhou Jiao's eyes. "It's too early. We have to wait and see. Even if we like him, we still have to see whether the two children are compatible."

"Are you worried that the girl won't like our son?" Zhang Guoqing curled his lips in disapproval. "I'm not praising my son, but regardless of his background, he's a wealthy son-in-law."

"Who knows? Everyone has their own aspirations, so how can we predict them?"
