At this moment, Qiao Chunsheng and his wife were still scheming against Xia Wan in their room.
"That brat won't take the money and then deny it, will she? What if she doesn't go to get the marriage certificate tomorrow?" Zhao Chunlan still felt a chill run down her spine when she thought about how Xia Wan had hit her earlier.
If Xia Wan doesn't want to go with us tomorrow, there's really nothing she can do. After all, she can't beat her in a fight, and she can't exactly kidnap her to get the marriage certificate, can she?
A sinister glint flashed in Qiao Chunsheng's eyes. He made Qiao Xiawan go to get the marriage certificate herself, hoping to show the deputy factory director that Qiao Xiawan was marrying him voluntarily, so that things wouldn't get too ugly later.
But if she refuses to listen to reason and has to suffer the consequences, then we'll have no choice but to resort to drastic measures!
"If she dares to back out tomorrow, you can go yourself. Deputy Factory Director Guo has already taken care of everything. As long as you bring your household registration book, you can get the marriage certificate. Just say that Qiao Xiawan is sick and can't be there in person!"
"Once we get the marriage certificate, she'll be a member of the Guo family. Deputy Factory Director Guo has plenty of ways to make her behave!"
Xia Wan was much more enthusiastic about getting a marriage certificate than they had imagined.
Her thinking was simple: since she had taken the money, she couldn't let a fool be unable to get a wife!
So at around six in the morning, Xia Wan knocked on the master bedroom door: "What time is it? Why aren't you up yet? Lazybones, you can't even get your food warm before it's ready!"
Bang bang bang! The aggressive knocking woke up the entire Qiao family.
Still half-asleep, Zhao Jiaojiao had already forgotten the scene of being beaten yesterday. She opened the door and yelled at Xia Wan, "Qiao Xia Wan, are you out of your mind? Are you trying to die? Why are you making such a racket so early in the morning? Since you're up, go cook and don't disturb our sleep!"
Xia Wan stopped knocking on the door, turned around and kicked her: "Are you awake now?"
[Congratulations, host! You have earned 1 point for kicking Zhao Jiaojiao, bringing your total to 5 points.]
She made quite a commotion, so it was impossible for others not to hear her. After she kicked Zhao Jiaojiao, Qiao Chunsheng and his wife had already gotten dressed and come out.
Qiao Erbao also peeked out, but the kid clearly still remembered being beaten yesterday, and he only glanced at him before pulling his head back in.
Qiao Qiao, who shared a room with Zhao Jiaojiao last night, was the only one who remained calm and didn't even come out of the room to check on things.
However, she wasn't in a hurry. She wouldn't miss out on the points she was entitled to today, and there was still plenty of time to take it slow!
"What's all the noise about so early in the morning?" Qiao Chunsheng came out with a livid face. Seeing that Xia Wan looked like she was about to go crazy and beat someone up, he didn't dare to be too harsh in his tone.
Xia Wan looked up at him and said nonchalantly, "Aren't we going to get our marriage certificate today? Why are you so unenthusiastic? Does the director not want a promotion anymore, or do you not want the bride price?"
Hearing this, Qiao Chunsheng was secretly delighted, but remained calm on the surface: "There's no need to get up so early to get a marriage certificate. The staff at the Civil Affairs Bureau haven't even started work yet!"
"You want me to go get our marriage certificate on an empty stomach? Hurry up and cook me some food, or I can't guarantee we'll be able to get it done today!" Xia Wan gave him a sly look, sat down at the table, and acted like a boss!
Actually, she wasn't that hungry; she just wanted to cause more trouble for the Qiao family. She would only be happy if they suffered!
"Xia Wan is hungry? Aunt Zhao will go and cook for you right away. Jiao Jiao, come and help Mommy!"
Zhao Chunlan pulled Zhao Jiaojiao back, who was about to say something. Her smile was forced, and her voice sounded stiff, clearly indicating her reluctance.
"Mom, why are you pulling me? Why should I... umm..." Zhao Jiaojiao said as she was pulled into the kitchen.
After closing the kitchen door, Zhao Chunlan let go of her hand and whispered, "Jiaojiao, just bear with it a little longer. Once Qiao Xiawan and the idiot get their marriage certificate, you can take over that job. Just one more day, please bear with it!"
"But we can't just give in to her every whim. That little bitch even hit me just now!" Zhao Jiaojiao said reluctantly.
Zhao Chunlan glared at her: "Who told you to be the one to stick your neck out? Look at Qiao Qiao, she's been hiding in her room all day and hasn't shown herself. If you don't go along with her, do you not want your job? Or can you beat that brat?"
Although she wasn't very shrewd, she could still see through some things. Even Qiao Chunsheng couldn't control that brat, so they naturally had to go along with her!
It'll only be a day or two, once Qiao Xiawan marries the idiot!
Zhao Jiaojiao's eyes flickered; she was still unconvinced, but she didn't say anything more.
After breakfast, each member of the family had their own thoughts, and Xia Wan and Zhao Chunlan went out together.
No one expected Xia Wan to be so cooperative, but everyone breathed a sigh of relief when she obediently went out with them.
After leaving the family dormitory, Xia Wan suddenly spoke up: "Do you really think that just because I got a marriage certificate with that idiot, I can give the job to Zhao Jiaojiao?"
"What do you mean?" Zhao Chunlan's expression changed slightly, thinking that she had regretted it.
Xia Wan turned her head to look at her, her voice indifferent: "I'm just an adopted daughter. Although my mother left a letter before she died, giving me that job, don't forget who my mother's biological daughter is now!"
"I know what you mean, but Qiao Qiao only graduated from junior high school and is not qualified to take over that job!"
Zhao Chunlan sneered inwardly. This brat is really cunning now; she's even trying to sow discord.
Xia Wan did not show the disappointment she had hoped for, but instead looked at her with a mocking expression, as if she were looking at a fool.
"Did Qiao Qiao tell you that she didn't have enough education? It's true that the personnel work at the plastic factory requires a high school diploma, but the factory workers don't need such a high level of education!"
She didn't believe that Qiao Qiao's scheming would actually get Zhao Jiaojiao the job!
After being reminded like this, Zhao Chunlan's face turned pale instantly, but she still stubbornly said, "Qiao Qiao is a village girl who doesn't know anything. Who can she ask to change jobs?"
Xia Wan could tell from Zhao Chunlan's expression that she was starting to listen to what she was saying, so she continued to explain it to her in detail.
"Personnel department jobs are so sought after, who wouldn't want one? If Qiao Qiao wanted to change jobs, there would be plenty of people vying for her! Besides, the neighborhood committee is pushing so hard right now; if you don't have a job, you'll have to go to the countryside as an educated youth. Qiao Qiao traveled all the way to the city to visit her relatives; do you think she'd still be willing to go to the countryside?"
Zhao Chunlan looked at her suspiciously, her face wary: "Do you know something? What do you mean by telling me this now?"
Xia Wan ignored her questions and, feeling that the time was almost up, began to explain her purpose.
"I just want to say, be careful not to end up with nothing. Your biggest enemy right now isn't me. After all, Qiao Qiao is my mother's biological daughter! She's the one who's most qualified to get that job."
"If you want Zhao Jiaojiao to get this job, why don't you cooperate with me and completely disqualify Qiao Qiao from competing for the job!"
Zhao Chunlan looked at her warily, not understanding what she meant, and felt that Qiao Xiawan was plotting against her!
"What do you mean? What do you want to do?"
