But soon, they reacted.
"But judging from your biological mother's attitude towards you, it seems... different from that of Captain Qiao and the Qiao brothers?"
Hearing this, Qiao Qingqing frowned slightly, as if she was thinking about how to put it.
"She...is not exactly the same as the rest of the Qiao family, but she and the Qiao family are truly a family. I wonder if you can understand this explanation?"
Yao Xiaoman shook her head honestly, indicating that she didn't understand.
Zhou Lanfang pondered and said, "Sister Qingqing, are you trying to say that as a mother, Comrade Liu Mei has an even stronger bond with you, her biological daughter?"
Qiao Qingqing nodded: "Yes. But, I am alone, and the Qiao family has four biological sons... So, once she has to choose between me and her four sons, she will still choose to give up me."
Now, both of them understood why Sister Qingqing kept her distance from her biological mother.
Qiao Qingqing vaguely recalled that in the past, every time there was a festival, Liu Mei would come to the Zhou family to give gifts.
But every time, she never did.
So it was not until they left the fishing village that Qiao Qingqing accidentally learned the news from Feng Guiying's conversation with others.
Feng Guiying mentioned this incident in a joking tone at the time.
"Her mute mother always sends rice, meat and seafood every New Year's Day, but she doesn't know that none of these things go into her daughter's stomach. Every day I lie to that mute mother, 'Your daughter doesn't want to see you, doesn't want to recognize you, so don't come!' She believed me and cried bitterly in front of me, but she still came next day. She is so stupid!"
At that time, because of this passage, Qiao Qingqing's hatred and disgust towards Feng Guiying doubled.
Afterwards, Qiao Qingqing secretly went to Hele Village.
She found out that the fourth son of the Qiao family had a broken leg and the family was living in great difficulty - the commune system had been abolished at that time, Qiao Weiguo was no longer the team leader, and the Qiao family had many sons and grandchildren.
He didn’t know how to make money, so his grandchildren couldn’t afford to go to school.
The eldest grandson was admitted to high school, but there was no money for him to continue his studies, so he was about to drop out.
It was then that Qiao Qingqing took action in secret.
She funded the eldest grandson of the Qiao family through an intermediary, and found someone to treat the leg of the fourth son of the Qiao family.
Qiao Qingqing never showed up for these things, and the Qiao family didn't know she did it.
Qiao Qingqing thought that in this way, she and the Qiao family would be even.
She once tried to find the Qiao family, but between her and Shi Lanlan, both her biological parents and her biological brothers chose Shi Lanlan without exception.
That day, she stood at the Qiao family's house in a panic, watching her blood relatives surrounding the unconscious Shi Lanlan, and finally being driven out of the Qiao family with disgust and blame, which left a deep shadow in her heart.
She thought her biological mother Liu Mei was different from other people.
But faced with the accusations of her sons and the silence of her husband, her biological mother did not firmly choose her and just watched her being driven out.
So, Qiao Qingqing completely gave up.
This time, Qiao Qingqing will not give anyone the chance to choose her.
If there is to be a choice, it should be her who chooses!
She had long ago chosen the garbage-discarding Shi family and the stupid Qiao family.
…
When we arrived at the educated youth point, Zhao Yong had already prepared the meal.
It was his turn to cook today, so Zhao Yong left the team an hour earlier, but Qiao Qingqing was able to do the work of two people, so their team was undoubtedly the best.
The new educated youth had just arrived and did not know how to score and cooperate.
They thought that the old educated youth would cook for them, but Zhao Yong said apologetically that the food he used was paid by each old educated youth, and he did not take the food of the new educated youth, so he did not cook for them.
This was a perfectly normal situation, but the newly arrived educated youth seemed to have "unusual" personalities, and some of them had dissatisfaction written all over their faces right away.
Some even shouted: "Aren't you deliberately bullying the newcomers?"
Hearing this, Zhao Yong, who didn't want to get angry, winked at everyone and deliberately found a topic to talk to everyone.
Seeing Liu Mei carrying a bamboo basket, Zhao Yong said casually, "There's a woman comrade I haven't seen before. Why is she here? Is she looking for one of you?"
As soon as these words came out, Qiao Zhiqing frowned slightly.
