"Did your aunt call me to talk about the issue of Grandma's accommodation? I have no problem with it, and neither do my in-laws. As long as your aunt vacates the house or provides 300 yuan, I will immediately bring Grandma to our home and take good care of her every day. What do you think?"

For someone like Ma Guizhi, who considers it a loss if she doesn't gain any advantage, hearing that Qiao Qiqi actually asked her to vacate the room and take money, she immediately stood up.

"Where would I get money? I have no money! The house is mine! You want me to move out? Dream on!"

"Since you neither want to vacate the house nor pay any money, then you'll have no choice but to continue supporting Cui Fengzhen. Are you willing?" Qiao Qiqi asked.

Ma Guizhi frowned.

Although she was unwilling, she could only grit her teeth and say, "I'll raise them, it's not like I've never raised them before. I've always raised them before!"

Seeing that everyone around was looking at them, even Ma Guizhi, who had a thick skin, couldn't stand it anymore. She immediately bypassed Qiao Qiqi and ran away.

This time, Qiao Qiqi didn't stop her.

She simply turned her head and called out, "Then I'll trouble you, Auntie, to take some time to go to the house and get Grandma's tattered clothes. If you don't go, we'll burn them."

Ma Guizhi glanced back but didn't say a word, but Qiao Qiqi knew she must have heard her.

It's good that she heard it. Anyway, she delivered the message. There are so many witnesses around. If Ma Guizhi doesn't go to retrieve it and it gets burned, then it's not her fault.

Qiao Qiqi walked back; she still needed to pick up Qin Baojun.

After walking only a few steps, he saw Fang Ke standing at the entrance of the commune brigade.

Seeing her return, he hesitated for a moment before stepping forward, smiling at her and saying, "Luckily you're smart. If it were someone else, they would definitely be suffering in silence today."

Qiao Qiqi raised her eyebrows smugly, "I've always believed in treating others the way they treat me. What is repaying evil with kindness? Is it about making others happy at my own expense? That's impossible."

Fang Ke absolutely loves Qiao Qiqi's personality!

If her first meeting with Qiao Qiqi was simply because she felt a sense of closeness to her because Qiao Qiqi resembled an elder in her family, then now she was moved by the girl's diligence, simplicity, and courage.

As a result, she grew to like the girl even more.

“Yes! Although many people say that taking a step back will open up a whole new world, I’ve always believed that taking a step back will only lead to others taking advantage of us. We’re all experiencing life for the first time, so why should we indulge others and make ourselves suffer?” Fang Ke echoed Qiao Qiqi’s words.

This surprised Qiao Qiqi quite a bit.

Such remarks should only come from modern women of the 21st century, right? Seeing that Fang Ke could actually say such things, Qiao Qiqi couldn't help but wonder if she was also a transmigrator.

To verify her guess, Qiao Qiqi sang a line softly: "Dou Erdun with the blue face?"

A hint of doubt flashed across Fang Ke's eyes. "Blue Alliance what?"

"..."

Seeing that it wasn't true, Qiao Qiqi wasn't disappointed and immediately smiled and said, "It's nothing, let's go back."

"Mmm." Fang Ke took her hand, and the two were about to turn around and go back when two people hurriedly ran up behind them.

From afar, one of the women spotted Qiao Qiqi and immediately called out, "Qiqi, Qiqi!"

Qiao Qiqi recognized Wang Guihua's voice and immediately turned around. Sure enough, she saw Wang Guihua and Qin Huai running towards them.

The two quickly arrived in front of Qiao Qiqi.

Ignoring her own heavy breathing, Wang Guihua immediately grabbed Qiao Qiqi's hand and scanned her from head to toe to make sure she wasn't injured before letting out a long sigh of relief.

Then, she immediately asked anxiously, "Where is Cui Fengzhen? Did she make things difficult for you?"

Qiao Qiqi sensed the worry and tension in Wang Guihua's eyes, and felt a warm feeling in her heart.

She knew that Wang Guihua had always genuinely loved her, so when she saw Wang Guihua so nervous, she couldn't bear to see her worry, so she immediately told her what had just happened.

Upon hearing this, Wang Guihua realized that Cui Fengzhen had not only lost face in front of everyone but also had her wishes dashed. She clapped her hands and exclaimed, "That old hag has been waiting to be taught a lesson for a long time! Qiqi, you're amazing!"

Qiao Qiqi said with a smug look, "That's right. If she bullies you again in the future, just call me, and I'll definitely teach her a lesson."

"Okay!"

After the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law reached an agreement, Qiao Qiqi immediately turned around and went into the office. She thanked Su Shangjin and Director Sun, and then helped Qin Baojun leave.

After the two left, Director Sun stood up and smiled, "That girl is quite forthright, very nice!"

Upon hearing this, Fang Ke immediately agreed, saying, "I've always told you that Qiqi is a good girl. See, I was right! Her personality is just so wonderful, almost exactly like my aunt's."

Thinking of her aunt, Fang Ke's smile deepened. Her parents were sent abroad for work when she was very young.

So she was raised by her grandmother and aunt from a young age, and her relationship with her aunt was even closer than with her own parents.

If it weren't for the fact that her aunt had only married once in her life, but divorced in less than two years due to her husband's infidelity, and that her aunt had no children, Fang Ke would have suspected that Qiao Qiqi was her aunt's child who had been abandoned.

Although she already knew in her heart that it was impossible, Fang Ke still couldn't help but ask Su Shangjin, "Captain Su, Qiao Qiqi was definitely born in your Qingyang Brigade, right? She wasn't adopted either, was she?"

Su Shangjin took it as a joke and said with a smile, "Of course that's impossible. When this girl was born, her mother had a difficult childbirth. Since there was no midwife in the village, my mother went to help. I was also called over to help with the fire in the yard. We were busy all day before she was born. When she was born, her cries were very weak, and everyone thought she wouldn't live long. But look at her now, she's grown up so big."

Fang Ke was somewhat disappointed, "So that's how it is!"

Over here, Qiao Qiqi and Qin Huai escorted their parents home. As soon as they entered the courtyard, they saw Cui Fengzhen tidying up the pile of 'junk' she had brought.

Seeing that she couldn't bear to throw away even these junk items and had come all the way to tidy them up, Qiao Qiqi immediately stepped forward, glanced at the direction of the door, and confirmed that it was locked, and breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Then he lowered his head, watched Cui Fengzhen tidy up, and said, "If you're going to tidy up, hurry up. Don't dawdle and disturb our family's meal."

Cui Fengzhen gritted her teeth in resentment, but didn't speak to her. Instead, she turned to look at Qin Baojun's position.

“Baojun, are you really so heartless as to abandon your mother? I am your own mother. If you don’t take care of me, I will be left to wander the streets.”
