Just as Qiao Qiao was about to ask about the money again, she saw Qiao Chunsheng push open the ward door and walk in!
"The compensation for the bed has been settled. Since you're fine anyway, don't bother changing beds, just get discharged!"
Xia Wan sneered. "To be discharged on the same day as being admitted to the hospital, and with such a lame excuse."
However, she didn't want to stay in the hospital anymore; she had many things to do that she couldn't do in the hospital: "Okay!"
"I've already spoken with Deputy Factory Director Guo. You go get your marriage certificate tomorrow, and then you can marry him the day after!" His tone left no room for argument, as if Xia Wan were a machine that obeyed his commands!
"Where's the money?" Xia Wan asked, holding her hand up in front of him.
Qiao Chunsheng looked at Qiao Qiao with a questioning look in his eyes. Didn't you just persuade her? Why do you still want money?
Xia Wan scoffed, "Why are you looking at her? Did you leave your money with her?"
"Xia Wan, didn't we just agree that you would marry him willingly?" Qiao Qiao's expression wasn't very pleasant either; it seemed all her words had been for nothing!
"You think you can get no dowry if you marry willingly? Then I'm not willing, I'm being forced! Give me the money now!" Xia Wan threatened, "If you don't give me the money, don't blame me for making a scene. Then nobody will have a good time!"
Qiao Chunsheng glared at her angrily and gritted his teeth, saying, "Here, go home first! I didn't bring any money with me!"
Xia Wan shrugged and followed behind, muttering in a dissatisfied tone, "Give me a little later, is your money enough to have babies? Didn't you say you were going home to get money? Why didn't you bring it?"
Qiao Chunsheng got angry when he saw her like this, and didn't bother to say anything more to her. He just kept walking forward with his head down.
I don't know what happened, but after this girl was hit on the head and woke up, her personality changed completely! The little blockhead who was easy to handle before is now reacting faster than normal people like them!
The moment Xia Wan returned to the family dormitory, she immediately reached out for the money; she could only feel at ease when it was in her own hands!
This time, Qiao Chunsheng didn't make any excuses; he just handed her the money with a dark expression!
"I'm going to the factory. You two stay home and tidy up. Young ladies shouldn't be wandering around aimlessly every day!"
He was naturally unhappy about handing over eight hundred yuan to Xia Wan for nothing. He glared at his two daughters and left with a sullen face.
Xia Wan scoffed, ignoring the ugly expressions on the other people's faces, and went into the house to count her money while humming a little tune.
Qiao Qiao's eyes were full of resentment. She stared at Xia Wan's back for a long time, then suppressed the hatred in her heart and followed Xia Wan into the small room that belonged to the two of them.
As the saying goes, with a stepmother comes a stepfather. In this family, Qiao Chunsheng doesn't care about anyone except himself and his son!
So after Qiao Qiao was recognized and brought back, Zhao Chunlan arranged for her to share a storage room with Xia Wan, while Zhao Chunlan's daughter had her own room.
Qiao Chunsheng didn't say a word about this matter.
Zhao Chunlan also found a good way to please Qiao Chunsheng, which was to be nice to Qiao Erbao, even more so than to the daughter she brought with her!
Xia Wan sat on the bed counting money with an air of nonchalance, completely ignoring the envious glares directed at her from across the room.
In an era when the average worker's monthly salary was only around thirty yuan, eight hundred yuan was a huge sum of money. It was only because the deputy factory director's wife was an idiot that he was going to marry that he could have given such a large dowry!
As evening approached, Qiao Xiawan's excitement wore off, and she began to feel a bit hungry.
I slowly got out of bed, intending to go to the kitchen to find something to eat.
Qiao Qiao saw her go to the kitchen and a mocking smile appeared on her lips. She thought she had some great ambition, but now she's just cooking dinner for the whole family.
What an idiot! If you spend that eight hundred yuan today, Zhao Chunlan will swindle it back in no time!
She breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that as long as Qiao Xiawan got her marriage certificate with the idiot tomorrow, things would get back on track.
In her previous life, she was recognized and returned to the Qiao family six years later. At that time, Qiao Chunsheng had already become the factory director, while Zhao Jiaojiao died in the countryside while working as an educated youth.
So when she came back, she became the only daughter of the factory director. Perhaps it was because of her different status. At that time, Qiao Chunsheng treated her quite well!
She didn't know exactly what happened in those years, but she overheard Zhao Chunlan say that Qiao Chunsheng used the deputy factory director's son, who was mentally challenged, as a stepping stone to become the factory director after marrying Qiao Xiawan to him.
Qiao Qiao's expression grew increasingly resolute. She had made the right decision to return early to escape the village's hardships! As long as Qiao Xiawan and that fool got their marriage certificate tomorrow, everything would return to normal! It had to be that way!
As she breathed a sigh of relief, she smelled a delicious aroma coming from outside, which made her feel a little hungry for a moment.
"Wanwan, what delicious food are you making for everyone today? Do you need my help?" Qiao Qiao smiled and walked into the kitchen, regaining her usual gentleness.
"What are you dreaming about?" Xia Wan was too lazy to continue the charade.
What good food should I make for them? They'd better go eat the northwest wind!
Qiao Qiao stood there, stunned, her eyes filled with disbelief. Hadn't she already given in? How dare Qiao Xiawan speak to her like that?
Wasn't she most afraid of her own daughter kicking her out of the house before? Isn't she afraid now?
"Wanwan, I know you're upset, but you should be grateful that your father has given you such a large dowry. Even Jiaojiao and I might not have this much dowry when we get married!"
At this point, Qiao Qiao's eyes were practically overflowing with jealousy. Qiao Xiawan was about to marry a fool, so why did she need so much dowry? No way, she had to find a way to get that money into her own hands!
Anyway, that idiot Qiao Xiawan can't protect it. Even if she doesn't give it to me, she'll just be tricked by Zhao Chunlan in the end!
"What's my biological father's name?" Xia Wan asked casually, without stopping her cooking.
Qiao Qiao was a little confused by the sudden question: "Huh? His name is Xia Jianguo. Wanwan, why are you suddenly asking about this?"
Xia Wan paused for a moment when she heard the name, but quickly regained her composure, scooped the scrambled eggs into a bowl, and said without looking up, "I want to eat. If you say another word, I'll slap you!"
"you……"
Qiao Qiao almost couldn't help but curse, but before she could utter a complete sentence, she was kicked out of the kitchen!
"I told you not to disturb me while I'm eating, why won't you listen?"
Xia Wan curled her lips in disdain. Did she think she was the original owner of the body? That she could be fooled with just a few words?
[Congratulations, host! You have earned one point for kicking the scheming woman!]
Qiao Qiao felt like her body was falling apart from the kick, and she couldn't care less about pretending to be a kind and innocent girl anymore: "Qiao Xiawan, you dare to hit me? Aren't you afraid I'll have Dad kick you out?"
Xia Wan scoffed, slowly sitting down at the table to eat: "Pshaw! You really think you're someone important? Qiao Chunsheng was counting on me marrying that idiot so he could get promoted to director! He even gritted his teeth and gave me eight hundred yuan for that position. Do you think you're worth eight hundred yuan?"
