Chapter 58 Taking the Initiative to Admit Mistakes

In this era of low prices, the tuition for a semester was only two and a half yuan.

However, this expense is still a considerable burden for ordinary rural families.

But now, with the money Qiao Wanyin earns from working outside, it's no longer a problem to support her children's schooling!

After she finished speaking, she squatted down and said softly to Shao Hua beside her, "Shao Hua, go wash your face quickly. After your aunt changes your clothes, I will take you to report to your teacher."

Watching her sister-in-law walk away, Niu Chunqiao stood there stunned, unsure of what to say.

My mind is filled with a thousand thoughts, and I can't express any emotion for the time being.

She lowered her head and unconsciously tugged at the hem of her clothes.

Not far away, Zhang Sufeng, her eyes red with excitement, said, "Eldest daughter-in-law, our Shaohua finally has the opportunity to study!"

"How could I not be happy? How could I not be filled with emotion!"

Zhang Sufeng murmured to herself, her eyes becoming increasingly moist.

Niu Chunqiao glanced at the direction outside the door, but her eyes still showed some hesitation and unease.

"Do you think she won't have any other thoughts? That she won't do anything hurtful again?"

Upon hearing this, Qiao Xuejun immediately became somewhat dissatisfied.

"Aren't you being a bit too suspicious? Haven't you realized how much Qingqing has sacrificed for our family lately? How can you keep treating her like a villain and guarding against her?"

His voice carried a hint of reproach.

"The pork, rice, and noodles we've been eating lately—everything was delivered by my sister through her hard work. Can't you see any change in her?"

Niu Chunqiao muttered under her breath.

"I was really terrified of her, I still remember that time very clearly..."

"Stop talking!"

Finally, Qiao Cunliang, the father who was sitting to the side, spoke up.

“You guys always bring up the past. I think Qingqing really wants to change for the better this time. Stop looking at her with prejudice.”

He paused, his voice softening slightly.

"To be honest, I know better than anyone that she did a lot of terrible things in the past, and did some things that she shouldn't have done. Especially the consequences of those things, which made our whole family suffer. As her father, I know all of this perfectly well."

“But things are different now,” Qiao Cunliang’s eyes deepened. “Haven’t you noticed? Since she came back from Hong Kong, she has suffered a lot and her life has been really difficult.”

When he said this, there was a hint of pity in his voice.

"It seems she has truly come to her senses."

"Stop making wild guesses and overthinking all the time. Being suspicious won't do you any good. Just wait and see what Qingqing does next, and you'll know."

After he finished speaking, his gaze involuntarily turned towards the direction outside the house.

As his biological father, Qiao Cunliang had actually been secretly observing this for a long time.

Everyone in the family was within his sight.

He remembers everything his daughter says and does, and every little change in her.

My daughter has really changed a lot. She's become more sensible, diligent, and proactive in taking on family responsibilities.

How could I not be happy?

But he is the pillar of his family, and the whole family needs his support.

Therefore, he couldn't possibly only care about his own father-daughter relationship and blindly favor his daughter while ignoring the other family members.

well!

Let's give our daughter a few more months of observation.

Qiao Cunliang thought to himself, sincerely hoping that this time, she had truly repented and started anew.

Suddenly a loud shout came from inside the house.

"Shaohua, have you washed your face? I need to take you to school later!"

This sound broke the slightly heavy silence that had just been there.

Upon hearing the sound, the three sisters-in-law all looked up in that direction.

Then I saw my sister-in-law walk in from the doorway, wearing a simple white shirt and black pants.

She even tucked the hem of her shirt into her waistband with remarkable neatness.

This outfit looks clean and neat, and the person looks very energetic.

It must be said that Qiao Wanyin is exceptionally beautiful.

Even if she's wearing very ordinary, everyday clothes, they all look different when she puts them on.

Just like those exquisite beauty magazines sold in bookstores on the street!

A response came from inside the house: "Auntie, I've finished washing my face!"

Immediately afterwards, the little boy Shaohua jumped out excitedly.

Qiao Wanyin subconsciously took his hand, a slight smile playing on her lips. "Let's go, we'll talk to the school leaders right now! We'll make sure you get admitted smoothly!"

The principal of Yuwei Village is named Fan Baobao, who was Qiao Wanyin's homeroom teacher when she was in elementary school.

To be honest, he does have a somewhat roundabout family relationship with the Qiao family.

However, that connection had long since transcended the fifth degree of kinship; whether they were close or distant, it was hard to say how intimate they were.

Fan Baobao is now over fifty years old, and her hair is very white.

His temples were already streaked with white from the years, and he always wore a pair of very thick glasses on his nose.

That day, it turned out that Qiao Wanyin had come to visit.

Fan Baobao's already stern face furrowed even more.

This girl was always the most troublesome and mischievous student in her class since she was little.

No matter how the teacher tried to teach her, she couldn't calm down.

Back then, she was even more mischievous than the boys.

Humans, after all, have this kind of psychological inertia.

When you like someone, you tend to find the things around them more agreeable.

Disliking someone can affect everything that is even remotely related to them.

So when Fan Baobao heard that Qiao Wanyin wanted to arrange for her nephew to transfer to another school, she immediately felt an instinctive sense of irritation.

"Principal Fan, please don't worry. My son Shaohua is an obedient child and will definitely not cause you any trouble like I did before!"

Qiao Wanyin seemed to know that her past was not very honorable, so she immediately held up two fingers.

Fan Baobao glanced at Qiao Wanyin with some skepticism, then looked at the quiet, well-behaved little boy standing to the side.

My heart started pounding involuntarily.

The girl in front of me has been so bold since she was little that she dared to secretly ring the bell to end get out of class early.

How reliable do you think her nephew can be?

Qiao Wanyin noticed the obvious concern in Principal Fan's eyes and quickly put on a sincere smile.

“Principal Fan, as the old saying goes, even though it’s all rice, the rice cooked from the same grain can be very different from the rice cooked from different people! My nephew and I have different personalities.”

"Who in our village doesn't know you're the most compassionate person? Everyone admires your passion for education! Children are the future generation, the hope for the future!"

"Moreover, I was naughty in the past and did many things I shouldn't have done, and I truly regret it now. I promise you that I will be an upright person from now on and will never embarrass you again!"

Fan Baobao was stunned for a moment after hearing this, her hand still frozen in mid-air.

Is this Qiao Wanyin?

Is she the same little girl who used to talk back to teachers at the slightest disagreement, and even pointed her finger at him in front of the whole school and called him a "stubborn old man with no human touch"?

She's actually bowing her head and speaking softly for her nephew's sake, even taking the initiative to apologize and express her willingness to change her ways?

This sounds unbelievable!

It seems he has really matured, understands the importance of taking responsibility for his past actions, and has also learned to shoulder responsibilities for his family!

What's your name?
