Before, she treated this aunt and Taozi with tinted glasses because of their inappropriate remarks and her unfriendly attitude towards the Qiao family, thinking that they were not human beings but scoundrels.

It's not that Qiao Jiangxin didn't have opportunities to help her aunt. She hired the unfamiliar Aunt Zhou, Li Qiumao from next door, and Ma Tao into the store, but she just never thought of hiring someone from her aunt's family.

Because she subconsciously felt that her aunt's family was not hers and was a trouble, so she subconsciously avoided her.

In fact, my aunt, who is struggling to survive in Kawanzen Village, needs this opportunity to work even more.

"Go in. This world is not a pure land. Everyone has their own sufferings. You can't help so much." Gu Yunzhou stood beside Qiao Jiangxin and whispered to her.

Qiao Jiangxin sighed, "Oh~, I used to have a bad impression of my aunt, because she impressed me as being strong-willed, calculating, greedy for money, selfish and mean.

She always lectured my two uncles, my aunt and my mother as if she were an elder. I really didn't like this about her. I felt that she didn't give face to others and put herself on a high pedestal.

In fact, now that I think about it, maybe she has been used to it since she was young, used to taking care of her younger brothers and sisters, and if they do something wrong, she will yell at them, or even beat them.

I only realized now that she was the one who basically took care of my grandma during the year she was lying in bed.

Before, I always felt that she owed the Liu family because she threw the peaches to my uncle's house and didn't give them any food. But now that I think about it, it was actually the Liu family that owed her a lot. ”

Gu Yunzhou secretly squeezed Qiao Jiangxin's hand and said, "So, for many things and many people, we can't just look at one side. If we don't stand in their shoes, we can't empathize with them."

"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore. We have to go back to Gaoshi Village in the afternoon. There are still many things to do. Tell me more about your parents' happiness..."

"What do you mean by like or dislike? Didn't I tell them that we're not dating for the time being? Why are you in such a hurry?"

With Gu Yunzhou's interruption, Qiao Jiangxin could only put Liu A'zhen's matter aside for the time being.

I thought I would wait until I got home to ask my parents what was going on in Kawana Village, and then make plans.

Customers started to arrive in the store and everyone was busy. Liu Xinyan, who had just returned from the post office after making a phone call, was arguing with Hu Changliang.

Taozi greeted the guests warmly with a sincere smile, but only the obvious slap marks on her face and her red and swollen eyes revealed what she had just experienced.

Liu Axia and Ma Tao, who were busy in the kitchen, turned their heads from time to time to observe Taozi, with undisguised concern in their eyes.

Hu Changliang came over to pay the bill and asked, "Boss Qiao, the Chinese New Year is only ten days away. What are your plans?"

Qiao Jiangxin smiled, "What are your plans? I plan to close the business after the 24th and reopen on the 5th day after the New Year."

"Rest so early? That means you have to rest for ten days or so?" Hu Changliang asked.

Qiao Jiangxin nodded, "Well, there is no end to making money. Everyone has worked hard this year, so let's give everyone a holiday in advance so that everyone can have a peaceful year, instead of rushing around like they're at war."

Taozi was stunned when she heard that they would have a ten-day holiday. After Hu Changliang left, she mustered up the courage to walk up to Qiao Jiangxin and asked her, "Sister Jiang Xin, can I stay and look after the store during the New Year? Don't worry, I won't charge you."

Qiao Jiangxin looked up in confusion, "You're staying in the store for the New Year?"

Taozi whispered, "I don't want to go back. No one will welcome me. I don't want to go to my uncle's house, nor do I want to go back to Xu's house. I just want to be alone and spend the New Year alone."
