Gu Zhengkai didn't invite anyone into the house. It was just that he was annoyed by this woman, and it had nothing to do with the matchmaker. The matchmaker was the wife of his colleague. In this cold weather, she didn't want to make the trip. Gu Zhengkai had already made it clear, but this woman insisted on making him come, and she herself felt embarrassed.

The matchmaker looked troubled. "Comrade Zhengkai, it's not that Comrade Shuixian wanted to come and see you, but it's inconvenient for her to come alone, so I came to keep her company."

When Chou Shuixian saw the little girl standing next to Gu Zhengkai, she asked with a charming smile, "Comrade Gu, who is this little girl? I've never heard of you having a daughter in your family."

Jiang Qiao snorted, "Auntie, what you're saying is really funny. This is my house. I've never heard of anyone coming to visit and having to find out everything about someone's ancestors. You're the first person to do this. Please come in—"

Although Chou Shuixian was displeased after being humiliated by Jiang Qiao, she didn't show it on her face. She was there for Gu Zhengkai, a handsome man who was hard to come by. A little girl like him couldn't ruin anything for her, so she didn't need to bother.

It was the matchmaker who spoke up from the side, "Young comrade, is this your home?"

Jiang Qiao said seriously, "That's right, this is my grandfather's and my home. But Uncle Gu has now recognized my grandfather as his godfather, so he's staying at our house and taking care of my grandfather. As you know, my grandfather isn't in good health and can't take care of himself very well, so my uncle is taking on some of the burden."

Gu Zhengkai hadn't expected his niece to have such an idea, but he was happy to cooperate with her, since the girl was quite clever and mischievous.

After Ugly Narcissus and the matchmaker entered the house, they saw Old Master Qiao lying on the kang (a heated brick bed). The old man had just heard his granddaughter's voice outside.

When they see the ugly daffodil, they get really enthusiastic. They don't move, but their mouths never stop.

"Come sit on the kang (heated brick bed). With an old cripple like me at home, most people don't want to come as guests. They think it's dirty. Girl, hurry, pour some water for the guest—"

Jiang Qiao was quite quick at pouring water, but it was just two cups of plain water, which was already in the thermos.

Ugly Narcissus wasn't oblivious to the tea still on the kang (heated brick bed), but when Jiang Qiao brought over plain water, her expression turned rather unpleasant.

How could Jiang Qiao not have noticed the look in her eyes when she looked at the tea? "I'm sorry, this is my medicinal tea. I have some at home. If you want some, that's fine too. I'll make some for you."

The matchmaker quickly waved her hand, "No, please. This medicine isn't something you can just take casually, young man. What about your health?"

Jiang Qiao sighed, "I'm not in good health and I need to take medicine all year round. Otherwise, I wouldn't be like this. This medicine is really harmful. I can't even gain any weight. The doctor said I can't stop taking this medicine, otherwise I'll end up like my grandfather."

"Well, Uncle Gu is a kind man. Seeing how pitiful my grandfather and I were, he recognized my grandfather as his godfather and promised to support us with his salary. He also promised to take us to the city to take care of us once he starts working."

Ugly Narcissus was dumbfounded. "What? We're going to take you into the city?"

Jiang Qiao said innocently, "Yes, my uncle said he'll take care of my grandpa in his old age and see him off when he passes away, and he'll also send me to school. He even said he'll find someone to take care of my grandpa in the future—"

Qiao Jie sighed from the side, "Speaking of which, my grandson and I are so lucky to have met such a good person as Zheng Kai. At first, I didn't believe it either. Could such a big pie fall from the sky?"

To make us believe them, Zhengkai even invited the team leader to testify and had us sign an agreement stating that he would take care of us from birth to death, and that he would also take care of our children.

"Tell me, where can you find such a good comrade? As long as this medicine continues, my granddaughter won't end up like me. I'm counting on her to study hard and go to university."

Ugly Narcissus looked at Gu Zhengkai in disbelief and asked urgently, "Is what they said true?"

Gu Zhengkai nodded calmly. "What's wrong? Isn't it right to help comrades in need? It's what we should do. What's the problem?"

Ugly Narcissus cursed Gu Zhengkai's ancestors in her belly. She had never seen such a stupid person. With that old coffin and this sickly little thing, no amount of money could cover them. People would be trying to avoid them, but this fool actually got himself into trouble.

Jiang Qiao also sized up Chou Shuixian. The woman in front of him was not young, but fortunately she was good-looking. Perhaps it was because of her appearance that she was promiscuous outside?

Seeing that Ugly Narcissus looked up at her uncle, Jiang Qiao sighed inwardly. What kind of fate does Gu Zhengkai have? How did he manage to attract such a rotten love interest?

"Comrade Gu, I didn't expect you to be such a kind-hearted person. In fact, people like you are the ones I admire the most."

However, I think there should be a bottom line when helping others. You still have a son and father to support. How can you do this to your son and father?

I think there's another way to help people. Look at these two, one old and one young, and their health isn't very good. I think sending them to a nursing home would be quite suitable. I happen to know someone there; I'll ask around and see if we can get them in.”

Jiang Qiao snorted coldly, "Comrade, thank you for your presumptuous idea, but my grandson and I never intended to go to the nursing home. That place should be given to those who need it more. We cannot waste any of the country's resources."

Besides, we have people helping us, what does that have to do with you?

Ugly Narcissus was completely enraged by Jiang Qiao. She hadn't minded when this brat called her "auntie" before, but she never expected that she would be treated like this when she was trying to be kind to them.

Looking at Jiang Qiao with disdain, he said, "Hmph, you're begging for food and you still complain that it's spoiled. Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself in the mirror? You expect others to support you. What's the difference between that and begging?"

"If you want ambition from me, then you'd better have some ambition of your own. What kind of ability is it to be supported by Comrade Gu Zhengkai?"

Since they were outside and Gu Zhengkai was right in front of her, even if Chou Shuixian was angry, she couldn't act like a shrew in front of Gu Zhengkai.

Jiang Qiao laughed instead, "Oh, auntie, you've got it wrong. My uncle is willing to support us, what's it to you?"

Sitting on our kang (heated brick bed), yet saying things like you want to throw us out. Who do you think you are? It's none of your business as an outsider to meddle in our family affairs.

"You're out of your mind. I advise you to see a doctor right away. Don't run around in our house like a madman, spouting nonsense."

Ugly Narcissus was never a good-tempered person to begin with, and this time, she was completely enraged by Jiang Qiao.

"Who do you think you are, to be supported by others? Aren't you ashamed? You even have the nerve to say that?"
