Chapter 119
"Zhong Qiao, get out here right now." With a loud and angry shout, it seemed as if the door of the Zhong family shook.
Zhong Qiao knew who it was without having to guess. Zhong Hua and her daughter had no other skills, but they were good at making complaints. When the time came, they would cry and shout, saying that she did not respect her elders and wanted to kick her out of the Zhong family.
If it were in the past, when she had no money and no confidence, she would definitely think twice before doing anything, but now, she has her studies, her career, and her financial income, so she doesn't need to be afraid of them at all.
"Are they causing trouble again?" Mr. Zhong was washing his hands and preparing to eat. Upon hearing this, his brows furrowed. "Why are there so many problems every day? We haven't provoked her in any way."
Mother Zhong lowered her head and ate her food silently: "Even if we provoked them, it's their bad mouths, they deserve it."
She has not forgotten how these people treated Qiao Qiao, including her useless brothers. They knew that their wives and children were causing trouble and speaking rudely every day, but they never did anything about it. They became invisible people, which really chilled her heart.
Mr. Zhong was extremely surprised and glanced at her: "What's going on? You're like a bomb today."
Mother Zhong glanced at Zhong Qiao cautiously, then nudged Father Zhong with her elbow: "Eat your food, why are you talking so much!"
After a while, Zhong's mother asked Zhong Qiao again, "How about I come in for you? You still have business matters to take care of, so you don't have time to get involved with these clowns."
Zhong Qiao put on his coat and said, "No, this is something I have to face sooner or later. I can't hide behind you forever. It's time for me to let them see our family's attitude, otherwise they will really poop and piss on our heads in the future."
There is nothing wrong with this. From what happened before, it can be seen that others reject and dislike her. If she keeps giving in, others will only treat her as a soft persimmon.
She had her own selfish motives in taking action against Zhong Hua. She wanted to use this incident to draw a line between herself and those people, so that if word got out that they had a bad relationship in the future, there would be no chance of them taking advantage of their family.
Let's make a fuss, and it's better to make it as big as possible, so that the whole compound knows that their families are not harmonious. After the separation, there will be even less reason for them to interact with each other, which is exactly what she wants.
Zhong Qiao put on a bright red scarf and tidied herself in front of the mirror behind the door.
The person in the mirror has picturesque eyebrows and fair skin, and has the most popular wavy curls at the time. Although she has light dark circles and looks a little tired, her eyes are always bright and energetic.
Zhong Qiao likes himself this way.
"Mom, I'll handle it myself. Don't follow me." She left this sentence and pushed open the door to face her own battlefield.
Zhong's father and mother were naturally very worried. After all, those crazy people were foul-mouthed and might even resort to violence. If they couldn't win an argument, they would just cry, make a fuss, and even threaten to commit suicide, acting like shrews. Zhong Qiao was still young and might not be able to do anything to them.
"Forget it, let's wait and see." Zhong's father tried to calm down Zhong's mother as she was about to get up and go over. "The child has grown up and has her own ideas. Let's see how she handles it. If it doesn't work out, we'll cover for her."
After hearing this, Zhong's mother thought it made sense. She suppressed her worries and waited for Zhong Qiao's return with Zhong's father.
As Zhong Qiao arrived in the yard, a potted plant flew at his feet and broke into pieces.
But fortunately, the other party was just warning her and didn't really want to hurt her, so Zhong Qiao just turned sideways and easily avoided it.
Looking at the mud under her feet, Zhong Qiao's eyes were dark. She hated this sticky feeling the most. It was just like the people in front of her, who were like dog-skin plasters and couldn't understand what people were saying. She couldn't get rid of them no matter how hard she tried.
"Zhong Qiao, you're finally out." The speaker was Zhong Hua, who had a bandage on her head. Cui Liu followed behind her. At a glance, it seemed that almost all the members of the Zhong family were present.
"What a grand ceremony, what a great honor." Zhong Qiao smiled faintly, "How could I be so worthy as to have the whole family come to visit me twice."
Although she was smiling, it was obvious that the smile did not reach her eyes, and everyone present knew that she was mocking her.
"Zhong Qiao, what did I say?" Zhong Hua looked at her with a vicious look and gritted his teeth, "Don't be complacent. I can't cure your lawless character, but there are plenty of people who can."
"Was she the one who hit you?" The speaker was Zhong Jue. He usually had to study and attend classes, and did not have much contact with Zhong Qiao, but he had a very bad impression of Zhong Qiao. A divorced woman with children should be despised.
What's more, she didn't behave herself even after returning to her parents' home. She acted so arrogantly and had a vixen-like face. It was obvious that she was a fickle and shameless woman. No wonder they divorced. In his opinion, she must have been kicked out by her in-laws.
"Yes, brother, she was the one who hit me." Zhong Hua felt a little aggrieved. "I just said a few words to her casually, and she couldn't stand it, so she hit me."
"You can't say that." Zhong Feng, who looked kind, spoke softly. "I heard that it was you, Big Sister, who provoked them first. If they hadn't dodged quickly, I'm afraid it would be Sister Zhong Qiao who would be disfigured now."
Her twin sister, Zhong Zhen, nodded. "Exactly. Why do you always provoke her? If you don't provoke her, how can she provoke you?"
Zhong Hua's face flushed and paled. "What do you know? If you're ever going to get married and someone criticizes you for having a sister like that, it'll be a misfortune and a disgrace to your family. Do you understand?"
Zhong Zhen and Zhong Feng rolled their eyes at her. "You're just overthinking it. You're exaggerating. Aren't you just taking your anger out on Sister Zhong Qiao for the failed marriage?"
Zhong Hua, whose secrets were exposed, immediately flew into a rage: "Bullshit! I'm Zhong Hua, and I'm not bad either. I can find any kind of guy I want."
"Alright, stop talking." Old Man Zhong looked at the chattering girls in front of him, feeling very upset. "Can't you see the elders are here? The adults haven't even spoken yet, and you're already arguing."
Several people didn't dare to speak anymore.
"Girl Qiao." Old Man Zhong waved at her, "Come here and tell Grandpa what's going on."
Zhong Qiao stepped forward.
Old Man Zhong looked at her for a long time, and suddenly his face was full of heartache: "What's going on? Have they bothered you before besides this time? Why are there such heavy dark circles under your eyes?"
Zhong Qiao shook his head: "Grandpa, I'm fine, I'm just busy with my studies recently."
"Study?" Zhong Jue sneered disdainfully. "You already have a child, and you're not at home taking care of her, yet you're still thinking about studying? You're just pretending."
"Zhong Jue!" Old Man Zhong was a little angry. "Didn't I tell you to shut up? You don't understand, do you?"
Zhong Jue snorted coldly and said nothing more, but his eyes were still fixed on Zhong Qiao, full of contempt and pride.
Zhong Qiao was too lazy to care about how he was complaining about himself in his heart. Instead, he slowed down his tone and recounted the whole process without exaggeration. During the process, Zhong Hua wanted to interrupt several times and tried to defend himself by adding fuel to the fire, but was shocked by the look of old man Zhong.
