Transmigrated into a poor peasant family, lacking clothes and food, life is hard enough, why must she also be schemed against by her only relative?
So she's not their biological child, wh...
Zhou Tianyu then looked at Ning Hao with a serious expression and said, "However, does Jiang Qiao know about this? You two mustn't have any misunderstandings because of this, and don't let unrelated people cause you to miss each other."
To be honest, I really admire Jiang Qiao. If you can marry a wife like her in the future, at least you won't have to worry about anything at home. This girl is absolutely capable.
Ning Hao gave a wry smile. "Jiang Qiao knows, and she didn't give her a good look. Back then, when Xiao Jing made a scene in front of her, this girl kicked her out."
Zhou Tianyu gave Ning Hao a thumbs up and said, "Cousin, you've found a good wife. She should be like this. If a woman in charge of the household doesn't have some backbone, your family won't be stable in the future."
However, I heard that Commander Xiao has been transferred. I guess Xiao Jing will leave with him too?
Ning Hao shook his head. "I haven't heard of it. It's still here."
Zhou Tianyu patted Ning Hao on the shoulder and said, "You have to stay calm. The more someone is like that, the less you should give them a chance."
As for Commander Xiao, he doesn't dare to get involved in such matters. If he really dares to interfere, remember to tell me. If I can't handle him, someone else will.
You remember what my dad said, right? Don't let Jiang Qiao down. Let me tell you, without you, that little girl would have a whole bunch of other people waiting in line.
Although they had only spent two days together, Zhou Tianyu could sense that this girl was extraordinary. He couldn't even imagine what his cousin would have to do with her once she grew up.
Actually, he felt that if it were him, he would also be willing to wait for this little girl to grow up. At such a young age, she is already impossible to ignore. When she grows up, she will be even more outstanding. She would definitely be a good candidate for a wife.
Ning Hao's throat was dry from talking, so he got up to boil water, but Zhou Tianyu stopped him, saying, "I'll do it. You're not familiar with the area. By the way, did you bring any tea? It seems we're out of tea at home."
Ning Hao took a box out of his bag. "I brought this. I was originally going to give it to my uncle. I didn't buy any gifts—"
After Zhou Tianyu drank the brewed tea, he immediately felt the difference after taking a sip.
"It's delicious! You rascal, where did you find such good stuff? It's so much better than what Jiang Qiao gave us!"
Ning Hao raised an eyebrow and looked at Zhou Tianyu with a smile. "This is medicinal tea. I was injured before, and Qiao'er made it for me."
"Jiang Qiao can cure diseases?"
Ning Hao nodded. "Her current adoptive grandfather is a doctor, and his specialty is treating sprains and bruises. Jiang Qiao has learned a lot from him. So, do you have any ideas?"
Zhou Tianyu shook his head. "I don't have any ideas, but I was wondering if Jiang Qiao could take a look at our little sister's illness. We've really run out of options. We've seen many doctors, but nothing has been very effective. When you're sick, you'll try anything. If she gets better, that's great. If she doesn't, it's not a big deal. What do you think?"
Ning Hao shook his head. "I'm not sure either. I don't know if she's good at this or not. Maybe we should go ask her tomorrow?"
"No, why tomorrow? Let's go over tonight. By the way, do you know where Jiang Qiao lives?"
Ning Hao nodded. "I know, but isn't it a bit inappropriate for us to come here so abruptly? How about we wait for Uncle to come back and then discuss it? If it can be cured, Qiao'er will definitely do it."
The more Zhou Tianyu drank, the more he realized that this medicinal tea was extraordinary. Although he was usually in good health and rarely took medicine, he knew a great deal about this.
He could taste ginseng and lingzhi in this herbal tea. He just didn't know this girl was so generous. It seems this cousin is lucky. Although Jiang Qiao didn't agree to anything, most people would really be reluctant to part with what the young lady gave him.
When Jinglan learned that her husband had reunited with his nephew, she quickly brought her daughter back. Over the years, the whole family had known about Zhou Baorui's search for his sister and mother.
You know, her sister and mother are gone, leaving only this nephew. As his aunt, she has to take him seriously, especially since the child's background is so pitiful.
Zhou Baorui held his daughter's hand and asked her in a low voice about her health. He was worried that his daughter might feel unwell after returning home.
Zhou Tian was quite obedient. "Dad, I'm fine. I'm usually like this. The doctor said to take it easy and let me recover. You don't need to worry about me. Your daughter is still waiting to take care of you in the future."
She knew her own body better than anyone else; her brother and parents had given her the best of everything.
She was afraid that her body couldn't handle so much love. What if she were to die one day like her aunt? She didn't know what kind of blow that would be to her family.
His daughter was well-behaved and sensible, which made Zhou Baorui both gratified and worried. She was his only daughter, and the youngest. It would be a lie to say that he didn't feel sorry for her. He would rather his own health be poor than see his child like this.
Over the years, their daughter Tian Tian has never run, jumped, or played like a normal child. When she was little, seeing her pitifully looking at her friends, it broke their hearts as parents.
"Our Sweetie is the best girl, unlike your brothers who are never home. My daughter is so good; she can keep us company—"
Zhou Tian smiled and said, "That's right, I'm my parents' little darling, and I want to stay with you until we grow old."
"Dad, how's my cousin? Is he a good person? Does he look like you?"
Zhou Baorui smiled and said, "He looks just like your cousin, Xiao Jiu. He's just as good-looking as your older brother. Tell me, isn't your cousin good-looking?"
Zhou Tian was slightly surprised. "Wow, he's so handsome! Will people be jealous of me when I go out with my brothers? There are so many handsome brothers, but none of them are as good-looking as me."
Zhou Baorui said affectionately, "Let them be jealous. Our Tiantian is beautiful too. All the children in our family have good genes; they're all beauties and handsome young men. It's a pity your aunt isn't here anymore. If she were, she would have been a great beauty, just like your grandmother—"
Zhou Tian never really understood why her grandfather would abandon her when her grandmother was so beautiful.
Zhou Baorui really couldn't explain this to his daughter, but Jinglan spoke up from the side, "Your grandfather isn't a good person. He's fickle and easily bored. No matter how beautiful your grandmother is, you get tired of looking at her after a while."
Besides, your grandmother was a well-mannered woman, unlike those prostitutes. That's why your philandering grandfather abandoned her.
"Later, when you grow up and find a partner, you'd better open your eyes wide and look carefully. Women are different from men. Marriage is like a second chance at life. If you marry the wrong person, you'll be miserable for the rest of your life."
The little girl smiled and looked at her parents. "Mom and Dad, I want to marry someone like you, someone like my dad, someone responsible for the family. That would be good for us too."
Zhou Baorui, the father, really enjoyed his daughter's adoration. "That's right, then find someone according to Dad's standards, and we'll help you with the selection."
